  Speaker 2: We got seven games to talk about. We got the pick'em's,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the players of the week, and the fantasy So, uh,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: let's get right into the games here. No coach would
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: this week, right, Yeah, he's uh.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He went out to Montana to watch the Grizz take
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on Weaber State and as he he sent me a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: mess He sent me a picture of him with Gavin Ortega.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: He said, he goes, my Griz lost, but I'm glad
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to see Gavin playing.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Well, so you forgot him?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Huh yeah, so so yeah, so we did. Did hear
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: from him and and and he'll be back next week?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Well, let's get right into it then, Meridian fifty six,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Nothing over South would be This was a game that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: was moved to Thursday. Correct, Yes it was. Now is
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: this an officials thing or do you know, or like.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I would imagine because everything else was was Friday and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: everything was kind of in.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm gonna say. It seemed like this
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: is the first Sunday, So yeah, this seemed like the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: first time all year where everybody was home, you know
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: what I mean, or like all of the games for
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the most part, other than I believe Squalkum, right, yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Squalkam was on the road. But yeah, everything else was
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: everything else was home.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so six games in county this weekend, so yeah,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I mean it happens. But Thursday night, fifty six, nothing
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Meridian takes care of South would be you know, Tyler,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I'll just get into the numbers really quickly here. South
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: would be finishes the night with negative thirty eight yards total,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: which is downright amazing. Meridian four hundred and twenty two
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: yards of offense. You know, this is something where South
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: would be small, small school, small growing program. You know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: they got to schedule some non conference games and they
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: got to get out and about and this is one
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that this is probably not a great matchup right from
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the start for them.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was overpowering for the Trojans, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: made it look easy. It was. I don't know if
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it was a new quarterback, but he was kind of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: fumbling some snaps. It could have been just nerves with
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that defense coming at him, because right off the bat,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I mean it was you know, plays for a loss
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: over and over again. And and it just kind of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: kept going. MICHAELA was out at the game, and I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: think she messaged it around halftime saying like, I don't
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: even know if they have positive yardage. I don't think
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: they have a first down yet. Like it was just
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't think she'd ever seen anything like this.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You know, she usually goes to some pretty good games.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: But I knew. You know, the the one thing that's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: tough about Thursday nights is it used to be like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: oh great, I'm there. It's the only game in town. Well,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, there's that's like the busiest night in Walking
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: County as far as there's usually you know, three or
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: four volleyball games, every single soccer team's playing, So tennis
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: was going on.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who knows, there's all kinds of stuff.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I knew I wasn't going to be able
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to make it out there, and so I asked her
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: if she could go kind of last second. She was
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: able to go, which was great. So but yeah, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: don't think she'd never seen anything like that. It was
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it was an onslaught.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Early Yeah, let's see hear rushing numbers for Meridian Jagger
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Fife four carries for eighty nine yards. And I do
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: see two touchdown runs here Tyler landed down. He seven
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: carries sixty two yards. Let's see passing Jagger Fife eight
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of fourteen for one to eighteen. How many touchdown passes
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: did he have?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Just one?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just the one, just one? Huh yea to on
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the ground.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Where was it to tick, Casey bryn Casey Brnt, Yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: there it is. I don't know why my eyes are
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: all messed up here, eyes, throat, nosed, ears, everything, Tyler,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it's all falling apart. I'm only forty two. This is unbelievable.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Casey Brennan, who did, by the way, lead the team
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in reception or receiving three catches fifty three yards. Pierce
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: versus outs three catches for forty nine yards. James heat
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: all three catches for forty two or forty three yards. Yeah, overall,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: just kind of almost what we expected to happen in
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that game. So Bridia in fifty six, nothing over South
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: would be we get into conference play. Here, Living Christian
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: defeats Blame hat Blaine twenty eight to seven. Tyler, this
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was a game that you look at the stats a
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: little bit deceiving in a way.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Blaine ran a lot more plays, got a lot
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you know, they got you know, eighty more rushing yards
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and it's like they almost doubled them in rushing yards,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: almost doubled them in passing yards. But they did throw
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: two interceptions. That kind of was part of it. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: turned the ball over on downs a handful of times.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That's a part of it. That's they were pretty amped up,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, and they yeah, they had every right to be.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of you know, juice going into
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this game. They were so excited, you know, four and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: oh for the first time since nineteen seventy nine, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you know, and like I said last week, I don't
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: know the last time they were five and oh. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I frankly know W one I'm looking at up and
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: now I don't have to. But they were so amped up.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They Elsie kind of took advantage of that, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: called some plays on two you know, the playing kids
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: are running off sides and they you know else, he
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: took advantage from short fields. They did have, you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a big kick return at one point, a big punt
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: return at one point. That can set them up as well.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Boyce robertson having both of those and they went to
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you know, they found it was weird because I was
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on the radio during the pregame and they had both
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: coaches on and when they asked Coach Churchstra, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and I you know, you got to ask the question,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: especially the radio guys, that you have to ask, like, okay,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: what's the keys to victory tonight? You know, and every
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: every coach usually says, well, if you win the turnover battle,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know whatever, and and coach Terpsa said we have
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball and stop the run.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And he was very, very to the point about it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And it was funny because it's because you know, Alan
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Fee was running the show. He goes, he goes, it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that simple, he goes, well, to say it it is.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: To do it is a different thing. And when he
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: said to you know, run the ball, I thought, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a good idea to run
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the ball right at Blaine. But what he did was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: really something because they went to a two back formation
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and and they haven't done that all year, not that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I can recall. You know, they're and you know, they're
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: in the shotgun and they got two backs back there
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and you know, it kind of nullified the two stud
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: defensive ends because it's just running in between the just
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: running up the middle where those guys can't really make
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: any impact. And the inside linebackers for Blaine or are
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit on the small side. Plus they are
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the main you know, guys on offense, so they're playing
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: both ways. Yeah, so you get you get your guards
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: out there on those guys, and all of a sudden,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: now you have the size mismatch. And they they were
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: rotating backs, and they had different guys doing different things,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and and it was just working for them. And I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: give a lot of credit to coach Trpstraw and and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and seeing those kinds of things and making it work
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and taking advantage of some of Blaine's mistakes. And that's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: kind of what it came down to. And but Blaine
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Blaine played good. I mean, they showed you know why
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they were four and oh going into the game. Jade
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and Pie is still with a monster game. And you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: second half was even steven all the way. There was
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: just some weird things that happened in the first half
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that that you know, I know that Blaine would have
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: wished they could take back I mean, you know, they'd
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: stall inside the ten or you know, penalty here and there,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and it was just bad timing on a lot of.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Stuff for the game. Lynon Christian two hundred and forty
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: nine yards of offense, Blaine three hundred and sixty nine,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty more yards of offense. Lynon Christian
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: twenty eight carries one hundred and sixty two yards. That's
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: exactly what you talked about there, just eighty seven yards passing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, not something you would have expected really if
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you were maybe doing a write a preview of the game.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: That being said, that's good coaching. Yeah, it really is.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly because I mean, and the guys on
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the radio, Jim and Dan were talking about that during
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: halftime at that point. I was I left the game
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and I was going to the Ferndale game, so I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was listening to them, and you know, they were saying
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: something like, you know, if you would have told me
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the Elsie would be up twenty one nothing at halftime,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I'd say, okay, I could see that. How many yards
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: did Mayberry throw for? Well, at that point he probably
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: only attempted five or six passes, and I think that
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was The surprising thing was that they were finding these
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: other ways and now going forward, that's huge for LC
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to be able to be balanced like that and have
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it in your back pocket. That's that's a big, big
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: deal for the Links.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Two hundred and twenty four yards on the ground
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: for Blaine, one hundred and forty five through the air
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: for Elsie. The leading rusher Hollis oh And eight carries
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: sixty five yards, one touchdown run of forty seven, Chris
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Coyman nine carries sixty one yards. Trason Johnson six for
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: thirty three and the two touchdowns that you mentioned, or
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: at least I think you mentioned him, Maybe you didn't.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Four and five yards from Johnson Mayberry as you mentioned,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: you know, not throwing a ton, but eight of thirteen
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: very efficient for eighty seven yards and did have one
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass with twenty yards to Boys Robertson, who did
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: lead Elsie in receiving with four catches for thirty nine yards.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: On the Blaine side, Jade and Pie has twenty one
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: carries for one hundred and twenty seven yards. First game
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: all year. I assume that he was kept off the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: or out of the end zone. Yeah, it was let's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: see here, Colin Davis ten completions for one hundred and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: forty five yards. Yeah, I mean all at all, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I guess Piez did also lead in receiving six for
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: sixty three. So all in all, huge game for that
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: young man. One hundred and what would that'd be one
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety little yards of offense for him?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he was and a lot of them were
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: just like you know, a running back goes off in motion, uh,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: during the you know, yeah, and and all of a sudden,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it's just and it's kind of a read, right, It's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: like he could hand it off, or he could dump,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: you could throw it wide to the running back and
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: whenever you whenever piaz Is was left somewhat unattended. It
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: was a smart throw to just throw it to him
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and as he can catch it on the run going upfield,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and they got some big yards out of that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the average what ten point five yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: ten ten point five yards to catch.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Right right, you're catching the ball. You're basically catching the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: ball behind the line of scrimmage every time, so you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's a good it's a good play.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: End of the day. Blaine twenty eight seven. Excuse me,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Lenny Christian twenty eight seven over Blaine at Blade, Uh
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker Niksack Valley. The Pioneers come to town and looks
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: like a real slug fest. I mean you look at
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: the score by quarter or whatever, and both teams were
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: pretty much scoring, scoring and scoring, kind of back and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: forth a little bit here, but uh, end of the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: day Luksack Valley thirty four to twenty over Mount Baker.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. I was getting updates and it was
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: just back and forth and back and forth. Looks sect
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: from Baker and exect the Baker, the Nooks sect and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: then it was nookxectly looks second looks, you know, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you know is this is just a great you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: big time hits in this one. I you know, watching
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the film, there was a play where, uh, I want
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to say, I was like Colby Martin I think, was
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: returning a kickoff like a short kick and he just
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: went right into the wedge and just hit a guy
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: coming at him and he just straight down boom. I mean,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it was like holy cow. And then on the next
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: kickoff the other way, Camden Moa did the exact same
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: thing to a Knoksack kid coming at him when he
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: had the ball and he's I mean, it was just
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you know, it was it was crazy. But Nuksack Valley really,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you know, Rode Colton lents a little bit. And Colton
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: had a few games early in the year where he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: was touching the ball, you know, six seven times. It
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: wasn't a ton non league games, not the big, not
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the most competitive games. And then and then he would
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: go off for a big game. I think it was
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: maybe the King's Game or something like that when he
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: had a big game. And then you know, he was
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: held a little bit against Tom Water. I mean that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: obviously that's a tough matchup. But he broke out in
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: this one right off the bat his first carry, he
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: had a big carry on his first run and right
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: up the Nuksack Valley sideline and he was just bulldozing
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: through guys and got the sideline all excited, and that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: kind of set the tone there for the Pioneers. But
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Baker had some great moments as well. Brady bruland you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and I was talking about this too. It's so weird
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: because I can't remember if I've talked to you about
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: certain things. We haven't talked to each other for a while,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: or if I did, was talking about on the radio,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but it was once you hit league play, you're gonna
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: start running some different formations and plays that they hadn't
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen all year, you know, obviously, because you're
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: saving him for the off with the play so and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and it. You know, Baker very seldomly will have one
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: back in the backfield. And when they do that, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I mean behind the quarterback, you know they'll have the wing.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But sometimes the half back will be like a kind
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of a short slot, like pretty close to the left tackle,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: but a slot receiver. And that's Brady Bruland. And over
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the years he's made some good plays. Do I remember
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Jason Lee used to have some great plays doing that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: in the receiving game, and he caught a couple of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes from that spot and it was keeping them
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: in the game. Evan Brown threw a couple of touchdown
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: passes to keep Nooksack in it, but it was really
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: just Lens carrying the ball over and over again and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and getting plays. He cramped up at one point late
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: in the game, I believe it was in the fourth quarter,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and he had to get he had to get I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: mean it was running. I mean he had like a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: forty something yard run and then you know he got
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: tackled by the turf monster there once he cramped up
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and and uh but he came back in later kept
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: on going.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So you know, it showed a lot of a lot
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: of guts on his part to just you know, it's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: a lead is you know, a two touchdown lead is
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: not super safe, especially in high school football. You just
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: kind of never know. And a really really cool moment
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: late in the game, after Lentz scored his third third
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: touchdown of the game, they kicked off, and every team's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: been kicking away from Brady bruland all year. Bryce Cooper's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: been getting a lot of the kickoff returns. Brulin coming
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: into this year with three returns for touchdowns already in
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: his career, which tied the school record, and then he
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: returned his fourth on Friday night and eighty nine yarder.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: So there will be a graphic going up in a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: new new school record graphic for him.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Pretty pretty cool. It's been you know, I think Murray
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Murray Park had three. He played in the seventies. It's
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a it's a pretty it's pretty cool deal. And I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: mean he's only returned I think two or three this year,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: but this last one he returned for touchdown and you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: get the score up a little bit more respectable. But
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: he had a big night. You scored all three touchdowns,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: did a great job on defense. But the Pioneers showed that,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of what most people were thinking that
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: they might and it's so tight in the one A,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: but they just might have that little bit of an
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: edge on everybody.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: For Knokzack Valley four hundred and forty nine yards of offense,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker two hundred and forty one, Knooksack Valley two
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty two on the ground two hundred and
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: fifty four from Colton Lentz on twenty seven carries and
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I see three touchdown runs. I mean, just another huge
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: night from that young man. Correy Olney also four carries
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: for twenty yards. Let's see here Evan Brown fourteen of
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: twenty five, one sixty seven and what do I see here?
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Two touchdown passes, Yeah, two touchdown passes, one to Evan Bravo,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: one to Cole Balman and Bravo, by the way, leads
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: of the team in receiving four catches for fifty yards,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Cole Coppinger three for thirty one, Corey Olney three for ten,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: and Cole Balman two for fifty nine, two catches fifty
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: nine yards.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Some efficiency right there, the big play. Gay.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see here on the Mount Baker side, one
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirty three yards on the ground, one hundred
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and eight through the air, leading the White on the ground.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Brady Brulin thirteen carries seventy three yards. Also I guess
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: probably leading or receiving two.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Well, no in yard yeah, yardage, but not.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: In not in receptions. Sean Dugger thirty thirty three receptions
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: for forty two yards, Brady Brilin two catches for fifty
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: two yards, and Luke Smith's seven completions for one hundred
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and eight yards and two touchdown passes. Yeah, I mean
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: all in all, I mean I would say, maybe what
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: some people expected, but I picked against them. So Nookzack
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Valley thirty four to twenty over Mount Baker. Let's go
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: at a conference here, Tyler granted falls or excuse me?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Is this in conference?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: No, okay, this is at a conference because I know
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that or Bellingham is in conference now, but this isn't
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: out a conference game.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what I was getting to there. Yep,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Bellingham though, it's their first win of the year.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first win of the year.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seventeen to fourteen over Granted Falls at Civic Stadium. Tyler,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: tell me about this one, Yeah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was a really close game,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: really good game. Right off the bat, there was a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: turnover and Grant Falls was able to get a short
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: field take advantage score that first touchdown. Bellingham drives down
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and they settled to kick a field goal, which you know,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I was talking to coach Leonard earlier today about it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: He was like, I wanted to go for the touchdowns
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: so bad, but I just thought, take the points, take
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the points. And they have this new sophomore kicker happens
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to be left footed, of course, and Cameron Boke and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: he nailed the twenty two yarder, and that, you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that proved to be a big difference because that was
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the you know, overall difference in the in the in
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the scoring, and in this in the second quarter, Grant
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Balld scores a long touchdown run. It was really their
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: only one big play of the night. They were kind
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of kept in check pretty well, and that was their
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I mean that one touchdown run was you know, almost
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: half of their offensive yardage right there, so that that
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of broke through. Bellingham did get a touchdown
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: there before the half. Ben Leonard, the new sophomore quarterback,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: throws it up jump ball to Joe Harvard. He's gonna
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: win a lot of those. He's a basketball star as well,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: so having him now on the outside is huge. Still
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: playing without Bli Henderson, who when he comes back, having
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of six three, six, four guys on the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: outside to throw jump balls to, I mean, now you're
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you know, things could be looking pretty good again. I'm
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: not saying it'll be like last year, but last year's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: offense was pretty dynamic. It's a lot of new guys,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: but there's some good pieces here to work with. And
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: then late late in the game, I mean there was
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: some just punning back and forth, and Grant Falls held
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that fourteen to ten advantage for a long time. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: there was a time when Granite Falls, you know, had
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a play where they they were they had a play
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: where they were tackled with the one yard line. They
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: could have put that game a little bit more out
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: of reach Blike Henderson makes the stop at the one
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: yard line. On the next play, Eli good Buffalo charges
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: through the middle and makes a stop for a loss,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and that was a turnover on downs and that was
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a huge moment because Bellingham was able to then do
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: some good stuff and they were able to drive and
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: then kind of flip the field there. And because they
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: were playing on that one side for a while and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: once they were able to flip the field, that kind
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of kept things going. They just needed that one more possession.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: And there was a moment where they they would switch
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to Joe Harwood at quarterback every once in a while
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and just kind of run with him a little bit
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: with you know, just kind of almost like a wildcat.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: And they were doing that with your original starting quarterback.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Right and they were doing that for a while, and
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: then there was a third down play where he had
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: to roll out to his right and it's like, oh no,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: because one of his problems was he was taken a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: lot of sacks. Because you know, if you're new to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the position and you're that athletic, you think you can
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: make a lot of things happen, and then all of
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you lose fifteen yards on a sack and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: it started looking like he might do that, and he
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: just flung one side arm and it was the first
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: down to Calvin band off Wagon and that was a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: huge momentum play. They kept running, you know. I mean
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: then it was just wildcat, wildcat, wildcat Joe Harward driving
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: down times running out, you know, less than three minutes
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to go. They get inside the red zone and they
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: called time out and some of the linemen were tell
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and Coach Leonard Hey like their their defensive linemen is
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: are tired, and he said, perfect time to put the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Frost train bracket back in. You know, just let's go
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: double tight with a full back and let's just pound
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the ball. And they did it, and a few plays later,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Frost goes in the end zone and when he scored
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that touchdown to take the lead, there was less than
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: a minute to go. I mean, it just it couldn't
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: have worked out better, you know. And this is the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: kind of box score that we just haven't seen yet
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this year, where you have a hundred rush, one hundred
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: yard rusher, a two hundred yard passer, a big time
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: star receiver putting up numbers. I mean, this is this
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: is kind of what they were hoping to see this
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: year and now it's starting to happen.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you say putting up numbers, Joe Harwood eleven catches,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty five yards, Tyler, that's a little
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: more than putting up numbers.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I mean last week and we didn't get to talk
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: about it because you weren't feeling well. But he came
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: in at receiver, caught four passes for one hundred and
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: sixty seven yards and a touchdown, and and did it
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: with a running clock going in just the second half alone.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So I thought, man, if he plays a whole game,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna put up some big numbers. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he did, and that was why I picked him on
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Fantasy because I just thought, man, well, I want to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: see what he could do it a whole game a receiver,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and h boy, he sure didn't disappoint. He's he looked
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like Megatron out there and it was it was a
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: lot of fun to see. And yeah, he's gonna be
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be the new target, There's no doubt about that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Granted falls one hundred and forty three yards Bellingham three
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two. You mentioned Tyler Frost twenty four
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: carries one hundred and twelve yards. I mean that is
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: heavy duty right there.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I you know, I don't I'm trying to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: think if he's ever had a hundred yard game. He's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: had a lot of games, like right around seventy or eighty,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: but they try to limit his carries because he's so
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: important on defense. And and he I mean, twenty four carries,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: that's got to be the most he's ever had in
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the game. So I they used him right, and they
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: used him at the right times. And you know, defense
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is just after a while, they don't want to tackle
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty pounds back anymore. Yeah, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: it shows. And and he's just and he's stiff harmon
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and slapping guys off the side. I mean, he's just
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: he's just hard to tackle.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: He looks like me running against my nieces and nephews.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, that clicking, that's great, Yeah, but yeah, I mean
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: it's just it was it was a big win for them,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: It's what they needed. And now and they've play I
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: had really the hardest part of their conference schedule for them.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I mean they played and of course they played Archbishop.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: You know, now you're kind of looking at how things
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: are trending up for them, and you're gonna you're you're
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: looking at taking on uh you know, Burlington now and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Mary Phil Polchak, and we'll see what happens. Who knows.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, if they can get some conference wins
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: under their belt, get some more confidence, that'd be great.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Ben Leonard twenty of thirty two passing for two hundred
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and twenty two yards and one touchdown pass to Joe Harward,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: who I mentioned, eleven for one fifty five. On the
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: receiving end, he was also one of one for twelve
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: and he had five carries for thirty one yards. So
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: just a huge all around game for that young man.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's a here's a wild stat And I
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: can't remember if I told you about this or not,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: but going into this game, yeah, he was leading the
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: team in rushing, passing, and receiving yards.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I think you sent that to me on Facebook one
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: day and when I read it, I mean, you know,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I've been on a lot of medic so when I
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: read it, it probably didn't comprehend correctly, but I was like, oh,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: he might be the greatest football player ever, Like.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Well, it's weird because that just how could that happen? Yeah,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you know, and but at that time he was and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I don't he might still be. I don't know. Ye
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Ben Leonard had such a big game that he might
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: have surpassed him there so in passing yards. But yeah,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: he's he's the real deal.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Bellingham seventeen fourteen over Granted Falls Tyler. Let's talk about
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Anna Chordis. Seems like we talk about them every week
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: right now, forty nine to seven over Squalicum. This was
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: a game down in Anna Chordis. Yeah, I mean, this
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: is exactly what you expect out of Ana Chordis Squalicum.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: You know, I think there were some thoughts that maybe
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: they could hang around a little bit longer than it
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: appears as though they did. But yeah, I mean Anna
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Chortas is a top two or three team in the
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: state at most classifications, let alone just two A. So
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: you know, they are a team that is really tough,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and that's exactly what they showed on Friday night.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was fourteen seven in the second quarter.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: That's not bad. I mean it was they did some
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: good things and squalkm even had a sixty yard touchdown
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: pass called back. I think there might have been a
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: holder on the on that play. But so they were
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: doing some good things off the bat. Right right off
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the bat, the opening kickoff was fumbled by Ana Chordis,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and it was one of those where it's like the
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: kick returners running in to catch the ball, like the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: twelve or so, yeah, and he's he's running from like
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the two and as he's running and hits him right
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: in the chest and he goes straight the other way
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: like and it's like so the you know, the squalking
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: guys are running and it's just an easy pickup and boom,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Zach Watt picks it up and hey, we got the ball.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: This is great. But that defense is so good that
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: after a few plays there they had to punt. I mean,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that's how that's how good that defense was. But you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: know they were able to to score the touchdown on
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the twenty five yard pass from Cole Burke to Onsen
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: or Anson Osby Ornson. And there's a good connection there
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: right now, because you know they hooked up eight times
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: for eighty eight yards. I think he was only targeted
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: seven times because there was one play where I think
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: it was supposed to go somewhere else and it was
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: deflected and on Osby Ornson caught that one as well,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: So that's a pretty good stat when you have eight
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: catches with seven targets.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, Tyler, when you have that good at chemistry,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: you don't even need to throw it to the guy
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: and you still catch it exactly exactly.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So they have some good things going there. You know,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Nixon had a rough night running the ball, but it
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: was just it's just too much defense coming at him.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: He was really bottled up in the first half. Second
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: half he got a couple first down runs and some
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: good things, but I mean it was just that hand
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: of course team and it's you know, we talk about
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the Beaner brothers, we talk about the sophomore quarterback Harrington,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: we talk about Ryland Lang, but there's a lot of
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: guys that are really good that I don't know who
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: they are, and I don't have it in me to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: start following another team, but boy, they're fun to watch,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and you're right, it's been I think this is the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: fourth week in a row where they've played a walking
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: county team, so no more in the regular season. So
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: but that's a lot of fun to watch that kind
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: of football and that that ace. But but yeah, they
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: did what you know, a team that's on it's that
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: when eighteen games in a row does against a really
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: good storm.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Team again anachordus forty nine to seven over Squalicum on
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Friday night, you know, Tyler, I'll say it this way.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: The game that maybe surprised me the most over the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: weekend Stanwood fourteen to seven winners over Ferndale at Ferndale.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it surprised everybody. It seems like there's
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: been games every week now where all of us pick
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a certain way and we're all wrong. That's been happening
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit here and there. I think it's like
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the third time that's happened. And yeah, I mean, you know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and Ferndale kind of had that weird one the week
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: before where they beat Mount Vernon in overtime, you know,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't they didn't hold a lead in that
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: game and until overtime, and.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: So technically they never held a lead like no time right.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: For like time, that's right, right, So yeah, it was
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: just it was one of those weird games. I was
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: there for the whole third quarter beginning of the fourth
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: before I headed home and started working on the scoreboard graphic.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it was just strange because right off the bat,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Burndo looked great. They did their thing, drove down the field,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you know, double handoff, run, forty yard touchdown, boom, like
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: it was easy. And but then the fumble machine came
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and and it was two straight fumbles after that to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: give the ball back to stan Wood. Now they were
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: forcing Stanwood to punt, so they were you know, they're
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: playing good defense, but you know, you can't just, you know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: instead of a fumble, go down to score, right and
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: then maybe you could be up twenty one to nothing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: And uh. And then right right near the end of
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the first half, they get down inside the red zone
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and Burndale throws an interception and stan Wood takes advantage
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: of that. They hook up on a long one long
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: pass play. They get them past the fifty and then
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: they get down to the seven yard line times ticking.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Here at the end of the half, bung guard gets
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: them for a sack of fifteen yards. Knocked the ball
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: out too, but they did get the ball back and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: then from the twenty two yard lane they throw a
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass at the end of the half, make it
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: seven to seven. And it was just kind of like,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm getting texts from parents and stuff and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: updating me on the score, and they're like, they're like, yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: seven to seven. But we're giving them the game, you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: we're bumbling it away, we're throwing receptions and I'm like,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: oh man, that's too bad. But I'm thinking, Okay, you
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: get all that out of your system in the first half.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see how the second half goes. And I'm there
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: for the whole third quarter and it was just kind
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: of a three and out fest. I mean, it was
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a here you pun it to me, up on it
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to you, and back and forth, and there wasn't a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: whole lot of action while I was there. The one
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: thing I did notice while I was there was I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: didn't see Zach Nielsen playing. And I asked the ad
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and I said, hey, I don't see Nielsen out there,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah, he's he's out. And I'm like,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: did he get hurt tonight? And he's say, no, he's
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: he's he's he's got banged up, he's he didn't shoot
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: up for the game. I'm like, oh man, and that's it.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And then the first thing they hit me was that
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: game last year against Getchel when Connor Walker didn't play. Yeah,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and they lose. They lose by one, and it had
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: that kind of feel to it a little bit. But
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: stan would I tell you what they were. They were
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: they were winning the battle up front, you know, a
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: lot of a lot of the time, and they were
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: doing some good things running Farndale's offense right in their face.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was, you know, a lot of wing tea.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: But then they'll go spread every once in a while,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and and they wouldn't break off these big runs, but
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: it was enough at a time to make things happen.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: And then you know, it's seven seven late in the game.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I'm talking less than three minutes to go in the game.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Still it's still seven to seven and Stanwood's driving and
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: you know, the game it's basically being played between the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: thirties at this point. I mean, it's not a lot
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: of big plays here, a lot of punts, like I said,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and they throw a pass to the outside Israel Kennerley
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: picks it off a great you know, dive in front
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: of the receiver, keep your toes and bounds interception. Awesome
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: play right in front of Ferndale's bench, and when you
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: see that, oh man, they you know, the crowd goes crazy.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: It's right in front of the crowd. It's right right
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: in front of your players, and it's just you know,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you could just you could just feel the excitement. So
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: you're thinking, Okay, this is it. This is where Ferndale
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: can drive down and now score and just put this
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: one to bed. And they get a first down run boom, okay, great,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: and then it just kind of stalls after that. Now
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: you got less than two minutes to go, and you're
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: gonna punt it away and it just it was the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: worst pun of the night for Ferndale. I think it
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: went seventeen yards something like that. So now stan Wood's
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: got positioned there at their own forty eight or forty
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: seven something like that. They basically have half the field
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and it's a tie game. You go down and kick
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: a field goal, and I, you know, I saw the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: kid kick an extra point earlier, but that's all I've seen, right,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And so they start, they go to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the spread and the quarterback's looking looking and he ends
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: up scrambling and then running out of bounds, getting ten yards,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: and then he did it again, and like, okay, they're
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: finding something here with the quarterback. When if he doesn't
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: see anything, he can take off and run and pick
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: up ten yards and stop the clock. Now you're under
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a minute to go, and it's just like okay, okay,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you know, you gotta you gotta contain that. They then
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: there's an incomplete pass. There was a hold, and so
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: they had to there. There ended up being like a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I think it was like a second and twenty and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: they were on the forty at this point, and so
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: then at that point, you know, it's kind of the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: same thing. The quarterback rolls out to the left, he's
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: looking downfield. He starts to step up in the pocket
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: like he's gonna run, and there's some linebackers and some
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: guys kind of stepped up to meet him this time,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: and he stopped right like a yard you know, he
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: was stopped at like the forty one yard line. The
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage is the forty and he just locks
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the ball over over the defense where a running back
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: was going full bore, you know, past everybody, almost like
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: a wheel route, and it just you know, he got it. Touchdown,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and when that touchdown happened, there was seventeen seconds to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: go in the game. I mean, it was just it
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: was crushing. It was a heartbreaking loss. And they've had
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: these really close games. I mean, yeah, they blew out Getche,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: but you know, they were ahead against Lindon when Linden
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: came back and and the Oak Harbor game was back
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: and forth. That was a game winning field goal on
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that same side of the field the Oak Harbor had
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and now this one, and you know, it's I don't
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't put my finger on it
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: right now. With the Golden Eagles, there's been a little
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: bit of you know, mishaps in the secondary here and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: there throughout the season. And I know they're all new
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: guys starting. They're good athletes. Though maybe not having Zach
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Nielsen could you know, was really hurt in that case.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, I don't know it. Look, it's weird
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to not see them dominate up front, and that's that's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: been the case, you know, for the last thirty years,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's been their One of their
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: big strengths is is the dominance up front, and it's
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: it's more of a stalemate these days, and it's just
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: kind of weird to see. And Ferndale's gonna have to
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: regroup and and get back on it next week.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: For Stanwood three hundred and eighteen yards of offense for
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Ferndale two hundred and thirty two. Stanward one hundred and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: eighty nine on the ground, one hundred and twenty nine
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: through the air for Ferndale two hundred and twenty on
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: the ground. Talon bung Guard fifteen carries ninety nine yards,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Jacob Gandy fourteen for sixty four, and Eli Kennerley five
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: for forty eight. Yeah, I mean, not a whole lot
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: more to it than that, right, Not exactly a lot
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: of numbers in this game. But end of the day,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Stanwood fourteen to seven over Ferndale. Tyler, we are at
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: a game. We're thirty eight minutes in. Yeah, let's see
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: if we can be done talking about this one before
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: an hour.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I like with that.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this game here is I mean one of the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: all time crazy games. Like reading about it and getting
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: texts from a coach late about it, I mean, it's
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: kind of crazy here. But Linden comes from behind twenty
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: four points in the fourth quarter to beat Sea Home
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: thirty one to thirty.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is what I'm afraid of the most,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: is just doing it justice talking about the game. So
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do my best. And I wasn't at
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the game, and this is it's weird because you know,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I think if Coach Wood was in town, this would
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: be this would have been the game he would have
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: been at. You know, like someone would have been there,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and so I kind of feel bad that no one
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: was there, but I was glad I was able to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: watch the film. I did catch the basically the whole
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter in my office on NFHS because that one,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: this was the game that wasn't over yet. And so
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: once they were all done and I had everything ready,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just watching the last six minutes of this one,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: which was phenomenal. Yeah, I mean it was. It was
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: three quarters of just not great football for Linden. And
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just the turnovers they did four They did
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: fumble the ball four times, all four were recovered by
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Sea Home. But there were little things that were just
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: you know, like a non Linden like, you know a
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: lot of like bobbling the ball on kickoffs and just
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: kind of it wasn't smooth. It was almost like their
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: heads weren't in it. It was just weird because I
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: just I'm not used to seeing that with Linden, especially Home,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Like it just it just seemed like, yeah, you might
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: see it one time a game, but it kept happening
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: over and over again. I mean, the first first play
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: from scrimmage, bumble and picked up by Sea Home and
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: they go in and score a touchdown. Okay, that happens,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and Linden comes back and they go down and they
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown and it's tied. In the second quarter.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: You know, there's another fumble, see them gets the ball,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: and you know Seelm's got some weapons obviously, and I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: kind of the way I look at it is kind
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: of like this was this is kind of the year
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the See Home matches up the best against Linden. You know,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: they've played each other twenty five times all time, and
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: see Holms won twice. The last time was like twenty
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: years ago, so it's been a while and it seems
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: but it seems like every year it can kind of
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: like you think it might happen, but you I think,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: to be honest with myself, I probably pointed to this season,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: maybe a couple of years ago even and said this
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: is the chance that they could get them, you know,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I and and I just thought, man, maybe it is happening.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I did pick Linden. But it's kind
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: of like, holy cow, I'm getting updates, you know from
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: parents and stuff and going really really but it's it's
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: constantly like, yeah, we just fumbled it away again, and
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: they just score it again. There was a play where
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Andre Watson caught a pass for twenty five yards, gets
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: it down to the two yard line. Next play, Nolan
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Wright finds Cooper mctee on a tight end out in
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: the end zone and it was you know, and there
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: was nobody on them. I mean, it was just one
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: of those plays where the defense kind of fell asleep
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: and the flat there, there's nobody there. And maybe it
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: was kind of a one of those plays where it
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: was you know, Engage eight type way, you know what
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I'm talking. So, I mean, who knows what it was,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: but it was it was one of those where there's
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: usually a guy there. You know. There was just some
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: weird communication breakdowns and and they get the ball back
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: on another fumble and they're able to kick a field
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: goal right before the half and make it a sixteen
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to seven lead see home, And it's just like what
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: is going on? And Spacioum is playing fantastic. I mean
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: they are third, they're taking advantage. I mean, there's not
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: like I mean, there was a fumble where it was
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: just just a fumble, like the hand the ball off
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and he just drops it. But there were a lot
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: of the other ones where these you know, big hits.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Carl Bach forced two of them, so I mean he's
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: a big time tackler. So they're making plays. It's not
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: like there's are just gimmes, right. And then in the
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: third quarter, one of the big things that happened, well,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: first of all, Grady Evans missed an extra point in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the second quarter, which you know and you look ahead,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: you go, boy, that could have been pretty you know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: that's a big, big point. He does make a field
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: goal later. When he made that field goal, he broke
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: a school record most career field goals. That's his ninth
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: now in school history.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: But uh, I got it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, another graphic there. And then in the
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: third quarter he goes for another field goal to really
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: kind of help push this up. It make it be
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: nineteen seven. It gets blocked by Sam Morango and that
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: now now they got a little bit of life going
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: here and uh and then but they fumble again, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: see Home is driving down and they score a touchdown,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: a great, great pass from Nolan right to Andre Watson
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: right in the corner of the end zone, twelve yard touchdown.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: And this happens right at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: At this point, now it's twenty three to seven in
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: the fourth and see Holme's got a pretty good lead.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: And and I'm and I'm texting the radio guys like, hey,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: it's twenty three seven. They're they're talking about it on
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: the radio, going, man, this is you know, how about
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: how about that score?
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: And all I know is it's the fourth quarter, So
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I say, twenty three seven fourth. I don't know how
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: much time's left. So they're probably thinking, wow, it's over,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you know. And I get home and now
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I'm watching. Now I can tell them the time left,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and Lindon's got to make something happen at this point there,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: you know, they got to do something. They finally break,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: they finally get a big play. Heppner to Orango, a
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: sixty six yard play that completely flips the field. They
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: get down to the three, Hepner runs it in. After that,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: they go for two right away, knowing that they're you know,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: they're they're down by sixteen, twenty three to seven. Two touchdowns,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: two two point versions, and you gotta get them. It
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: was a really good quick slant to Danny Foehler. Hepner
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: hits him in stride, they get the two point conversion,
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: and then they force him to punt. Okay, now something's going.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Now something's cooking. They get the ball back. Uh, you know,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: they they run the ball a little bit, they get
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: some complete passes down the field, and then they hit
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Sam Rango down the left scene thirty six yard touchdown
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: and another two point first time. This time it's Orango
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: doing kind of a you know, if you want to
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: call it, like a jitterbug and then out and uh
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: and they hit him for a two point version. Now
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: that ties the game, and so you're thinking, wow, okay,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: twenty three all and Seeholm's got the ball with not
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of time left, I mean don't know,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: four minutes, four and half minutes something like that, and
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: they've they've got the ball, and there was one play
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: where it almost looked like Nolan Wright was like laying
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: on his back throwing a football, but he's he I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: think he braced himself with his other arm and he
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: was falling down to his right side. He's right handed,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: and he just flung the ball almost like a Dan
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Quisenberry throw, where he just submarined it up in the air.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: It was caught. They get They got yards out of that.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: They were able to keep the drive going. Big time
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: catches to buy mcaatee and Quiggle and Watson getting down
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: the field and now they're driving down, driving down. Lyndon's
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: calling time out. There's you know, less than two minutes
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: to go, and see Holmes knocking on the door to
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: take the lead and try to win the game. And
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: they're right there at the two yard line. Nolan right
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: runs it in from two yards out. Grady Evans makes
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: extra point. It's thirty to twenty three now and Lynnon's
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: gonna get the ball back and they have less than
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: two minutes to go, and the kickoff is bobbled like
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: three times at like inside the five yard line. Returner
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: finally fixed it up. He gets tackled at the thirteen.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: So now you're like, okay, well this is our We're
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: trying to you know, move the ball here, but now
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: we got to start from the thirteen yard line.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: This is tough. Not the way you want to start, right.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: And if you go back and people always talk about
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: the drive right the Denver had against Cleveland in the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: eighty six AFC Championship game, and if you go back
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and watch that drive, that's kind of the same thing happened.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I think it was like Steve Sewell bobbled the kickoff
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: at the two yard line and he gets and he
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: gets stopped there. So when the Broncos come out, they
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: have to go ninety eight yards, you know, to to
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: tie the game, to put it into overtime. And so
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: it was kind of had that feel where it's like, man,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: you're you're making it really hard on yourself here. And
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: but like their second play after that, their first play,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: you know, Heppner doesn't see anyone open wisely throws it
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: out of bounds, probably throw it right to a leader
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: because the ball just goes straight into the you know
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: where they would be standing from the film. And on
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the next play he throws one down the right sideline,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: big time catch for Isaiah Audman. Huge catch, you know,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: and Colby Chambers is covering him really well, but there's
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: nothing he can do against six or four Audman right
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: down the sideline. They get to the forty yard line,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: so a twenty seven yard completion there. Okay, now you
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: got some breathing room. Now you're hit one right down
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the middle to Brody Price. You get to the other
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: side of the fifty, Okay, keep on going. And it's
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: just when you have a guy like Hepner and things
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: are happening like that, and he's he's got a really
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: cool demeanor about him and that just comes from playing
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: in all these playoff games and that state championship drive
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: that he had with fourth downs. They hit another fourth
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: down to Danny Boehler on that drive after that huge,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: huge play where it's like, man, how did he do that?
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: This was this is this is the game. You got
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: to complete that pass. He does it to Danny Bowler.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Now they're at like the thirty. They keep on going in,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, and he finds another He finds a rango
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: over them, not not a rango, but Bowler again over
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: the middle to get inside the five and and then
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: it's you know, they get down to the one and Hepner, Heppner.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: A second effort by Heppner, you know, punches it in
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and they knew right away they're going for two. And uh,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: that's you know, and this is this is going for
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: the win. Now you can kick it. You've got a neck,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: you got a kicker that hasn't missed an extra point
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: all year. You know, you could tie the game up here,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: and you have momentum, but you know Seelom has been
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: able to drive the ball on you too. There's not
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of time left, there's under a minute left,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: and they decide to go for two. And I tell
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: you what the the what am I trying to say?
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: That the bond not not the bond, but the cohesion
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: or whatever, chemistry of chemistry, thank you of Heppner and
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: and Orango right now is really really something. And it
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: was a point that they could not target a pass
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: and still complete it right. And you know that first
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: first two point conversion was a quick slant. The second
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: one was kind of a jitterbug out. This was more
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: of like a my goodness, almost like a you think
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: he's gonna go in, then he goes out and the
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: ball's out before he can turn, and it's right there,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and there's nothing you could do to defend that. A
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: lot like the game at Sieger Woolley last year where
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: they won at twenty nine to twenty eight on a
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: two point conversion. That was I think with no time
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: left on the on the clock. This was still less
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: than a minute, but they take the lead there. I'm
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: watching the NFHS version and and all of a sudden
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I see Van Dalen out. You know, he's out on
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the field after that play, probably fifteen yards. He's not
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: wearing a headset, his hat's gone. I don't know if
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: his orange gloves have flown up in the air. Who
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: knows what's going on. But he's so pumped that this
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: has worked. Now crowd's going crazy. He's still got to
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: kick off here, and and there was a few big,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: big plays by Nolan Wright and company. They completed another
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: long pazz was forty one yards or something DeAndre Watson.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: He gets out of bounds wisely, and I'm thinking, man,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: maybe they'll kick a long field goal with Grady Evans here.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: I think if it was at Civic that might be
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the case. On the turf on natural grass, it's a
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: little bit tougher. He didn't get the field goal blocked earlier.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: You know, you're down by one, so they throw one
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: more desperation pass to the left. They just throw it
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: up for Watson and he's triple coverage. Jade Noakes picks
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: it off, returns it like sixty five yards. He could
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: have just fallen on and ran out of boundsers you know,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: there's no there's no clock, there's no time left at all.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: As he's running back, No, Nolan Wright gives him. Nolan
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Wright shows that he's been wanting to play defense for
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: three years now and just just get them good. But
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: that's the game. And what a game it was. I mean,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I I wish I could have just flown out there
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: really quickly and just and talk to all those players
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: and be like that this is what high school football.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Was all about.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, even on the losing side, what no
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: And Wright did you know, I know he's banged up.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Andre Watson catching all those passes, My goodness, it was
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: just it was it was such a great football game
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and instant classic. It's you see kind of one of
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: these every year, it seems like, but this was extra special.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: This seems like one of those games Tyler that if
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, on the sideline doing my thing
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: like I used to do with media, that I would
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: have tweeted out I love high school football. Yeah, just
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: all caps, you know what I mean, Like, yep, the atmosphere.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's the type of game that needs
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: to be played at Linden High School, you know what
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: I mean? Like, yeah, because it's just it sounds better there,
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I Mean. The craziest game that I can recall that
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: was kind of had that feel to it was when
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I saw still Loo come at Linden.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just like, Heather, you bring that game
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: up like every other week. I tell him that's like
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: how crazy it was.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: It was so crazy. And what's lost in all that
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: was that like Stephen de Lorenzo ran for like three
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and something yards. He broke the school record in
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: rushing yards in that game. And because they couldn't stop
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the run, but you know, it was really hard to
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: stop their passing game. Yeah, and it was just oh man,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: that game was just nuts. But this game seem had
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: every chance in the world. And see, Holm is really
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: darn good Man with you know, with with kind of
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: looking like the top three being Anacortus and Lyndon and Archbishop.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, seem hasn't played Archbishop yet. That could be
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: a heck of a game. But holy cow, I can't
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: wait for that game. I can't wait for Sea Home
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: squalk them against each other. There's some good ones coming up,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: and now with the round of thirty two, I give
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: so much more to these games and how important they
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: are and the chances for a See Home team that
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: you could look at some you know, there's all sorts
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: of different polls out there on max Preps. I don't
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: read anything at all into the RPI. It's useless. But
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: there's like the coaches pull, which.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: Is kind of useless too.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I hate to say it coaches, but yeah, but I've
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: looked over it and it's not very good.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: No, but at least they're gonna know that Royals the
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: number one team one A. The RPI has them like
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: ninth or something, you know.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: You know what always cracks me up, Tyler So, And
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the WIAA does this or if
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: they use a true RPI, like I don't know because
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: there's times when I look at when I look at
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: the RPI and I laugh because you know, Royal is
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: not even in the top ten, and then all of
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: a sudden, the next week they're at like number two,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: and you just go like.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: They missed a digit and there.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like like hold on a second, here, the RPI
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't typically swing that much. No, you know, so there
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: had to have been a big win by one of
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Royal's former opponents, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just so weird because sometimes it
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: makes me wonder if they actually fudge those numbers a
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: little bit, because at the end of the day, it
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't not those those numbers don't matter. Those are RPI, right,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: all of the coaches don't The coaches know not to
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: use those. The people in the committee know not to
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: use RPI.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, if you're you know, if you're
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: going around saying, oh, we beat the you know, third
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: ranked team in the state or whatever, I mean, it's
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's it does not mean anything. It's it's great
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: for people to talk about, but it's kind of useless
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: to talk about because there's just no teeth behind it.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: And if you're gonna do an RPI. You gotta wait
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: like seven or eight weeks. But they're kind of we're
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: kind of it needs to kick in a little.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Bit, you know, Tyler. The w i AA needs money.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Oh and the more social.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Media interactions they get, you know, you know this, yeah,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: one point four million or whatever it is you got
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: going on over there on WACOM.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Preps Tyler in the last thirty days.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the thing, is like they like
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: that stuff because you know, people get on there and
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: they say things like boy, I don't know who came
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: out with these rankings, and it's.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Like, well, they don't care what's being said. They're just
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: they just care that something's being said.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Right, Yes, because every time somebody says something, it, you know, juices.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: The more eyeballs.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Uh see home four hundred and thirty two

  Speaker 1: he's only four way from tying Blair Bomber now and
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: five away from breaking the all time Walkham County record.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: You start talking about receiving touchdowns, he has thirty one
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: now in his career or no, I'm sorry, thirty So
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: he's tied with Josiah Westbrook for second place all time.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: But Mitchell Tripp has forty. It's gonna be a little
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to get ten. It's gonna be
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: tough to get ten more in the second half of
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: this year and maybe they make a big playoff run
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: and who knows what happens. And then receiving yards, I
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: have to do a little bit of Matt here. Twenty
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: one fifty eight, so he's eight all time and receiving yards. Wow,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: behind guys like Trey Handy, Thomas Barbo, Ryan Vandis Zakvis,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Jordan Wittenberg, Ben Peterson, and Mitchell Trip. Mitchell Trip ended
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: with twenty eight seventy seven, so he's.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: About but he's not behind Blake Whitman.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: He is not. He has passed Blake Whipman mighty years ago. Yeah,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: but he's about seven hundred and change behind Trip for
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the career yards mark.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: So a little way is to go there. But another
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: one that you just never know, could have a couple
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: of big games and right, and uh yeah.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: So so cool. Uh he just you know, he catches everything.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: And what a career it's been. Had another huge night.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: He's had some big time games against Linden and that
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: says a lot when you know, when you see that
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: your guy plays his best against the best, you know
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean his sophomore year he had
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: a punt return for a touchdown against them, and that
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: was a huge I mean that was a that was
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: a really close game. They lost twenty one to nineteen
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: in that game. Last year, he catches fifteen balls in
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: that game that tied the county record for catches in
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: a single game, including that crazy you know one handed
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone one that he
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: brought in and then this time eleven for one hundred
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: and seventy in a touchdown. Super impressive, and he just,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: you know, he just keeps he keeps on work. I
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: mean I saw some other things he did too. There
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: was a play when right before Nolan Wright ran the
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: two yard touchdown run, he came in and played tight
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: end a run block. He's got such He's so strong
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: for his size, He's so strong. His hands are so
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: strong that he could just get you and hold you there.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: There was a time when he came in motion and
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: he was like the he was a pass blocker on
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: a deep passing play. I mean, he's you know, there's
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of things he's doing that he wasn't doing
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: earlier in his career, and he's and it's I don't
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: think he cares about the numbers. He just wants to win,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: and he's really trying to help see Home now get
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: that playoff spot which they haven't seen in quite a while.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: Again, Lindon defeats Sea Home thirty one to thirty on
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: Friday Night at Lindon, Tyler, that's a wrap for the
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: seven games. Let's move on to talk about the pick'ems.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Rough week for Jeff myself and well apparently we brought
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Joe down with us three and four. Laura miss Walkam preps,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: she goes four and three. Mikayla, she goes four and three.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: So if you're a female, this week, you went four
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: and three. Tyler, you went five and two and now
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: take over, Well, you're now tied for the lead with
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: of all people the guests, Yea and Joe, which Joe
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: makes sense, right, but the guess yeah, one of those
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: is Jeff Beard.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Now that being said, that guy is on a ridiculous
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: hot streak because he is crushing it in the in
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: her Betty Spooner. Ye yeah, let me see if I
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: can pull up the Betty Spooner real quick. For those
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: of you who don't know Betty Spooner, it's it's a
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: college pick them that Tyler. I don't think you get
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: in it right.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I played it. Last time I played it was probably
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: ten years ago. Okay, I did it for a while,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: and then I realized that I just don't have time
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to even I mean, I have no clue what's going
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: on in college sports at all anymore. Yeah. But our
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: buddy Christopherrames runs that he's been doing it. He's got
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: he had to have been doing it for twenty years now.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I've been in it now for I don't know,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: seven eight years. I feel like I've been in it
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: for a little while now.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: Beard.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: And oh, he's actually one point up the guy who's
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: in second Fading Maze and Blue. A rough week for
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: that guy, but he had thirty eight points last week.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Jeff twenty six. Jeff is one point ahead. Now me,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: I am not doing too well, my team back to
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: beat Ames is thirty second place out of thirty nine.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's pretty cool though, thirty nine people playing.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Tyler, I'm behind a guy who didn't even
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: put in his picks last week.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: You know what's so funny is that the first time
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I ever saw your name or heard your name ever
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: was like eleven years ago when I was doing a
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: high school pick him for Walking County games, just on
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: that history of Walking County football site, and I would
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: just say, hey, if you want to play, just just
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: send in your picks.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: You know, and send him in every week.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you were like one of the only ones
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: that actually sent in picks.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Every week and every single week.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Who is this Ryland Spencer guy? Like he knows his
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: stuff and I have no clue who he is.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: And I think I did really well one year.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you did. And so that was just that
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: was just one of those funny things because Steve, even
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: at that point, no one knew who was running that site.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I didn't even know who you were. As
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, you added me on Facebook at
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: one point and I might have even denied you, yeah,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: or it might have sat there for a while, and
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: then I realized like, oh, Christopher, Christopher Ames is friends
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: with this guy. And I was like, hey, who because
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: this guy and he's like, dude, he is you of
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Walkham County and I was like, oh, it sounds.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: Like a good dude. Yeah.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: And then like a year later, so it was probably
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: when we met for the first time. Right, Yeah, you
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: and I didn't meet for the first time at the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: Knicksack Valley game.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: I remember we went to meet Mexico. One time we did.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: That was afterwards we The first time we met was
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: that game, the Knuckxack Valley Meridian game was twenty seventeen.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when he came what's that when Jake Heaps came up?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Jake Heaps, Brandon Huffman's the Whole Show came up, and uh,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: that was the first time I ever met, the first
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: time we ever met. First we met before that, No,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: and then a year later we met at me Mexico
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: and then went to U Home CEO man Cordis, Oh
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: that's right.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Anachordus had about eight guys on the sideline, right. Yeah.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: And then the next year they didn't even have a
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: JVT or a varsity team.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Right, and so yeah, it just kind of you would
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: usually come up for a game a year after that.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, I mean it's crazy to think that
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: we've done almost three hundred shows together, but we've only
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: seen each other in person like less than a dozen times.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: I was about to say like maybe ten times, right, yeah,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: And actually like a couple of them might not even
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: count because I saw you and you didn't even see
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: me because you were running down the stairs leaving the game.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: Right right. And there was that one time you were
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: at a Squalicum scrimmage and in the summer, you know,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: and I just I happened to pop in, and that
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: was in twenty eighteen, and I was just kind of
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: showed up for a second there and we got a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: picture with Mike Perez.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: That's right, I remember that.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's just yeah, and that's when I started
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: the point that the Walkham preps point when I would
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: point to the whoever I'm to getting a picture with. Oh,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: the first time I did that, and that point and
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: that's been that's been a staple ever since. So yeah,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Tyler, you almost said Laura, I mean, technically,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: I guess heard this week. You the guests and Joe
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: tied for first place in the pickums. Let's talk about
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: the players of the week. Tyler on the offensive side.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: It's sponsored by Phoenix Coffee. You can find them at
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: eleven bell weather Way, Sweet one O four in Bellingham,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: or you can give him a call. Three six zero
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: seven to one five one zero five zero Tyler who
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: is the Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player of the Week.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: There were some huge offensive outputs all around the county
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: this week. You know, guys with eleven catches, Guys with
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns. You know Nolan Wright three for almost three
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards. All sorts of things going on here.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: But had to give it to Colton Lentz, senior running
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: back from Nuksack Valley, first conference game of the year,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: going on the road against your rival, twenty seven carries,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four yards and three touchdowns. That's
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: a that's just a huge effort where you know, Knuksack
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Valley hasn't had many games where they got to play
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: their starters the whole game and they you know, that's
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: just to kind of keep that momentum going and stay
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: on top by a couple of scores. They had to
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: do that in the second half, and and he was
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: the main beneficiary, getting a lot of carries and picking
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: up a lot of yards.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Max Hair Studio sponsors the Defensive Player of the Week.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: You can find them at Bellis Fair and Mall or
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: give him a call three six zero, six seven to
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: one at sixteen twenty seven Tyler who is the Max
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Hair Studio Defensive Player of the Week.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: And I rarely do this where I give it to
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: a player in a loss. You have to really stand
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: out for that to happen. I did it in this case.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Jacob Gandy from Ferndale. I'm waiting for that week when
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: he gets contained a little bit. I mean every single
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: week he's just putting up huge points, thirteen tackles, three
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: tackles for loss and a pass broken up and doing
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: that when he was called upon to play a lot
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: more offense than usual with Zach Neilson out, he started
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: at half back, carried the ball fourteen times. I thought
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: that might kind of hinder his defense, but it didn't
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: at all. That guy is just crazy hard to stop.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: And you know, playing linebacker at probably one hundred and
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: eighty pounds tells me a lot about his toughness and
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: and just the work that he puts in and and
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: he's been the big time soul of that the heart
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: and soul really of that defense all year. And he
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: had another great game.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Pet's real Estate sponsors the Special Teams Player of the Week.

• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Special Teams Player of the Week.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: There was a few ways to go here, you know.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Grady Evans kicking that field goal to break the school
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: record for career field goals was an option there. Exavier
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: parn from Meridian he had a sixty eight yard kickoff
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: return for touchdown as one of the upmen. So that's
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: one of the up well not like right up the front,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: but he's not the far back. He's like the next
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: level up and South Wildby was that was their only
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: kickoff of the game. It was the second half kickoff,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: and and he took it and just buzzed through everybody
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: for a six eight yard touchdown. So that was pretty cool.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: But Brady Bruland with a ninety eight yard kickoff return
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: again in a loss here, but broke a school record
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: most career kickoff return for a touchdown. Yeah, just that's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: pretty awesome. I mean, he's he's he's a lot of
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: fun to watch return those kickoffs. And I could envision
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: all of them. The sophomore year against Blaine, junior year
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: against Kings and Blaine, and then this year now against
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley. A lot of fun to watch. I don't
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: know if you've ever seen the old highlights of el
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Roy Hirsch, who was a receiver back in the like
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: the fifties black and white film with the Rams, But
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: for a long time he held the record for seventeen
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: catches or seventeen touchdown receptions in his NFL season, and
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: he held that record forever, and they called him crazy
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: legs Hirsh. Like I think even on like his football
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: card has said Elroy crazy legs Hirsh because when he ran,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: his legs just kind of just kind of flipped out
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: to the side. That's just the way he ran. Brady
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Brulin kind of runs like that. It's just he can
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: really just pick him up and put him down. And
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to watch and just a
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: great kid too, just an awesome kid. He had a
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: big game and he's your Pets Real Estate Special Teams

  Speaker 2: Well, technically speaking, I'm not contagious. I haven't been contagious
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: actually since Wednesday, but the worst of it was definitely
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: after that point, so I don't really know how that works.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: But I'm hoping to go to work tomorrow because honestly,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: I you know, me I can't sit still and I'm
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: losing my mind sitting here at the house. As a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, our freshman team played a game on
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Wednesday night, and on I don't remember what night it was,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: maybe Friday, I think they're. One of the coaches said, hey,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: our parent messed up in filming the game. Would you
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: be able to cut up the film? We don't know
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: how to do it. So they this parent didn't just
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: like recording like one thing the whole time. They actually
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: recorded like eight minutes, eleven minutes, seven minutes. It was
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: like they just randomly hit the button, you know, like yeah,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they were doing, but so yeah,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: So on Friday, I was like I would gladly do that,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: like please get me, get me the film, because I
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: will gladly sit there and do that. And then I
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: got so bored. I even o decayed the whole thing, so,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: which that can take a while, if anybody knows what
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about, putting, you know, labeling every play as
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: at offense. Yeah, I went through and did all that
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: stuff because I was just I was so bored.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: And you know the thing.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: Is, Tyler, with all this medication stuff, it's like you know,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: sometimes I'll be sitting here working on something and next
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: thing you know, I'm waking up face down, you know,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: on the couch at the computer right, you know, and
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: so and who knows how many hours I've missed by
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: that point, you know what I mean, Like, I don't
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: know how long I fall asleep at times. And one time,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: I actually think I only slept like one hour one night,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: and and you know, had just a bad headache and
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: I couldn't forget what was going on. And the next
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: thing know, I woke up and it was like nine
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: hours later. So yeah, I'm hoping to go back to
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: work because I just I cannot sit at home anymore.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, we do have a sophomore game to
• 1:14:47
