- 2:35Speaker 1: some one of these years. I'm hoping next year I'll
- 2:37Speaker 1: be able to do that. I'm not sure where I
- 2:39Speaker 1: would go quite yet, but we'll see. Let's talk boys

- 4:13Speaker 1: the state tournament in the two ways at the Nordstrom.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I know it's where U dub plays in Seattle the
- 4:23Speaker 1: Tennis Center or whatever it's called. But Holy Counted Walkin
- 4:27Speaker 1: County do amazing girls tennis. Lyndon wins the state championship
- 4:33Speaker 1: as a team, Halle Brooks won the state championship as
- 4:37Speaker 1: a singles competitor, and Avery Brooks and Rolanda newcom won
- 4:41Speaker 1: the state championships in doubles competition. And it was the
- 4:44Speaker 1: rare trifecta of winning in singles, doubles and as a
- 4:47Speaker 1: team for Holle Brooks. That makes two state championships in
- 4:51Speaker 1: two years, doubles last season and singles this year. And
- 4:54Speaker 1: Avery Brooks won her second straight doubles state championship. And
- 4:58Speaker 1: for Rolanda Newcom she graduates as one of the most
- 5:02Speaker 1: decorated tennis players in Walkham County history, as she placed
- 5:05Speaker 1: in the top four in the state in either doubles
- 5:08Speaker 1: or singles in all four years. Now, the crazy thing
- 5:11Speaker 1: in the doubles Emile Everett and Maria Horga of Seaholme.
- 5:17Speaker 1: They took second place, so that's it was was all
- 5:20Speaker 1: Walkham County match for the championship, which is awesome. They
- 5:24Speaker 1: took second place in doubles and then Mariner's senior Gabriella
- 5:27Speaker 1: Garcia Salgado, took seventh place in singles competition, so a great,
- 5:32Speaker 1: great showing there. And then in one A Anna Tusky
- 5:35Speaker 1: of Blaine was there, and in doubles it was Blaine's
- 5:42Speaker 1: team of b Dixon and Carly Saunders, but they both
- 5:46Speaker 1: lost in the first round, which is a loser out
- 5:49Speaker 1: round at the one A level, so they both got
- 5:51Speaker 1: there but couldn't advance forward. So but a great, great
- 5:56Speaker 1: showing by all the tennis players by Walkam County tennis
- 5:59Speaker 1: players at the state tournament. Now we haven't talked about
- 6:03Speaker 1: this for a while, but the boys state tournament also
- 6:06Speaker 1: took place, and we get to go back many many
- 6:09Speaker 1: episodes to the last time we talked about boys tennis.
- 6:11Speaker 1: But for those of you who don't know, boys tennis
- 6:14Speaker 1: takes place in the fall and then it wraps up
- 6:16Speaker 1: with districts kind of mid October when the weather starts
- 6:20Speaker 1: getting colder, and then it's determined who will play at
- 6:24Speaker 1: State and then they have to wait seven months to
- 6:26Speaker 1: go play and so it was kind of I was
- 6:30Speaker 1: trying to remember who was even going to be going
- 6:32Speaker 1: there and everything, but it was awesome and Bellingham junior
- 6:37Speaker 1: Leo Kuhn won the state championship in two A and
- 6:42Speaker 1: I think he went as the second seed out of
- 6:45Speaker 1: the Northwest District, So congratulations to him. I mean, he's
- 6:50Speaker 1: probably working on his game all those seven months and
- 6:53Speaker 1: he was ready to go left handed player soccer player two.
- 6:57Speaker 1: So really really proud of him, and he's an underclassman.
- 7:00Speaker 1: He'll be playing another year. Seahom senior Harley Kaiser won
- 7:04Speaker 1: his first match was but then was defeated in the
- 7:06Speaker 1: quarterfinals by the eventual second place winner. Kaiser took fourth
- 7:10Speaker 1: place after winning out. After that, the Seahome Mariners double
- 7:14Speaker 1: team doubles team of Christian Leon and Sean Lane also
- 7:21Speaker 1: finished in fourth place. Their only loss of the tournament
- 7:23Speaker 1: was to the eventual state champions. So again, unbelievable showing
- 7:27Speaker 1: by walkin County athletes. Really really cool to see. And
- 7:33Speaker 1: before you know it, it'll be boys tennis again in
- 7:36Speaker 1: the fall, so we'll be ready for that. Let's go

- 9:38Speaker 1: hundred relays, and in the four by four hundred it's

- 11:17Speaker 1: one minute fifty two point twenty six seconds, and that
- 11:22Speaker 1: let me just double check really quickly, because I think
- 11:24Speaker 1: that's the new Watkin County record in the eight hundred meters. Yeah,
- 11:30Speaker 1: it is. He broke it by looks like one tenth
- 11:35Speaker 1: of a second over Reid Henderson of Seahome. So Ruben
- 11:39Speaker 1: Taveldi is the new Watkin County all time leader in
- 11:43Speaker 1: the eight hundred meters dash or inner, I shouldn't say
- 11:46Speaker 1: dash eight hundred meters. In the sixteen hundred meters, Ruben

- 17:40Speaker 1: We'll be competing at the state tournament, so dozens of
- 17:44Speaker 1: athletes there from Walkham County. I bet man, I think
- 17:48Speaker 1: that they could bring home I don't know, eight or
- 17:51Speaker 1: nine state champion individual state championships. I just think there's
- 17:55Speaker 1: so much talent right now coming out of Walkham County
- 17:57Speaker 1: for track, a lot of long distance runners. Just I mean,
- 18:02Speaker 1: I really really think there's gonna be some hard work
- 18:05Speaker 1: coming back then. You know, it seems like that happens
- 18:08Speaker 1: every year, especially especially lately, and it's just been a
- 18:13Speaker 1: strong run from Walkin County and that leads us to
- 18:16Speaker 1: this Staffer Insurance Track and Field Athlete of the Week.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And there was a lot of school records broken and
- 18:22Speaker 1: different things, but what Jane Lenz of Mount Baker did
- 18:25Speaker 1: in the four hundred and in the relay teams she's
- 18:28Speaker 1: also advancing in the two hundred pretty incredible for her

- 19:33Speaker 1: going forward they're looking pretty good. But they had to
- 19:35Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to one of their assistant
- 19:37Speaker 1: coaches and I said, hey, man, congratulations. He goes yeah,
- 19:40Speaker 1: but it's going to be a tough one tomorrow, which
- 19:43Speaker 1: was Saturday, and they had to play against Kashmir, the
- 19:46Speaker 1: four seed, and they and they shut them out to
- 19:49Speaker 1: four zero. So Meridian goes onto the final four for
- 19:53Speaker 1: the first time in school history. They're going to be
- 19:56Speaker 1: taking on Wall Luke, who was the sixteen seed. So
- 20:00Speaker 1: they beat the one seed and then they beat the
- 20:03Speaker 1: eight seeds. So the top seed that's still in it
- 20:07Speaker 1: is Vashon Island. They're the two seed. So on the
- 20:10Speaker 1: other side of the bracket, seed to Park Christian against
- 20:12Speaker 1: Vashon Island and Meridian will take on Wile Luke who
- 20:15Speaker 1: Meridian's game will be on Friday at seven o'clock at
- 20:19Speaker 1: the Federal Way Memorial Stadium and if they win that game,
- 20:23Speaker 1: and they'll play for the state championship the next day
- 20:26Speaker 1: at five o'clock. If they lose, and they will play
- 20:29Speaker 1: at twelve thirty the next day or third place. But
- 20:32Speaker 1: pretty incredible for Meridian to get this far not even
- 20:36Speaker 1: allowing a goal yet in the state tournament. Only them
- 20:40Speaker 1: and Vashon Island are the only teams that can say
- 20:43Speaker 1: that right now. So doing extremely well. Super proud of
- 20:48Speaker 1: those guys. And there's moments during the season when they
- 20:52Speaker 1: they play extremely well and you're just like, holy cow,
- 20:55Speaker 1: who's gonna stop them? And they're really it's all coming
- 20:59Speaker 1: together right now for them, which has just been tremendous
- 21:02Speaker 1: to see. Let's take a look at the two A
- 21:07Speaker 1: State tournament, which has been going pretty well for Walking
- 21:10Speaker 1: County as well. Linden beat Cedar Crest three to two
- 21:14Speaker 1: in a shootout to move on to the quarterfinals. Squalk
- 21:18Speaker 1: And beat Clover Park three zero. I was at that game.
- 21:20Speaker 1: It was zero zero at the half, so it was
- 21:23Speaker 1: kind of like, okay, when are they gonna kick it
- 21:25Speaker 1: in hi gear? And they did right away in the
- 21:27Speaker 1: second half. I had to leave the next morning, so
- 21:30Speaker 1: that was the only soccer game I got to see
- 21:31Speaker 1: live and in person. Seem went on the road and
- 21:34Speaker 1: beat East Ballot of Yakama in shootout two to one,
- 21:37Speaker 1: so all three Walkham County teams moved to the quarter finals.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Columbia River defeated London two zeros. The Linden Lines season
- 21:45Speaker 1: came to an end. Squalk And beat Hawkinson six to
- 21:48Speaker 1: one and a very very strong showing by them, so
- 21:52Speaker 1: they move on to the semi finals, Sea Home defeating
- 21:55Speaker 1: five three to two in another shootout. So the Mariners.
- 22:00Speaker 1: That makes I think that's three shootouts in a row
- 22:04Speaker 1: that Baine Mitchell stopped at least two of the shots
- 22:07Speaker 1: in the penalty kick shootouts, so that's extremely hard to do.
- 22:12Speaker 1: And when you have a goalie like that, it really
- 22:14Speaker 1: gives you an advantage going forward. So Sea Home and
- 22:17Speaker 1: Squalkham are both in the semi finals, they're on opposite side.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Squalkham will take on Columbia River on Friday at one o'clock.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Seaholm will take on Bainbridge right after that at three o'clock.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Both of these games being played at Federal Way Memorial
- 22:31Speaker 1: Stadium on Friday, and then on Saturday, the championship game
- 22:37Speaker 1: will be held at two forty five if they make it,
- 22:39Speaker 1: and if either of them get to the third or
- 22:42Speaker 1: fourth place game, that'll be played at ten thirty in
- 22:44Speaker 1: the morning on Saturday, So a quick turnaround there for
- 22:48Speaker 1: these teams if they lose. But man, what a great
- 22:53Speaker 1: showing by Walking County doing extremely well, really really really
- 22:57Speaker 1: cool to see. And it's just been it's been awesome
- 23:03Speaker 1: because you know, you see these teams and I don't
- 23:05Speaker 1: see a lot of what's going on around the state,
- 23:08Speaker 1: so I don't know, you know, how competitive they would
- 23:11Speaker 1: be against other teams and stuff like that. But it's
- 23:15Speaker 1: really really showing me a lot, which is which has
- 23:17Speaker 1: really been awesome. We're going to talk about the goal
- 23:20Speaker 1: leaders now, which of course is brought to you by
- 23:22Speaker 1: North County Alliance FC and in tenth place. A Hanu
- 23:26Speaker 1: and Fasani of Ferndale had ten goals on the season.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Tied for seventh place, Isaac Grimes of Squalicum, Cole Oswalt Squalicum,
- 23:34Speaker 1: and Andre Sevnko of Ferndale, all with eleven goals. Tied
- 23:38Speaker 1: in fifth place, Eddie Prasino of Linden and Chris Mancotta
- 23:42Speaker 1: Castillo of Nukxack Valley each had thirteen goals. Fourth place
- 23:46Speaker 1: was Marcus Caanan of Linden with fourteen goals. Third place
- 23:50Speaker 1: Mason Ivshovik of Seahome, now with fifteen goals, So glad
- 23:54Speaker 1: to see him back. He had a couple of penalty
- 23:56Speaker 1: kicks during regulation that that were huge for them to,
- 24:02Speaker 1: you know, just to get into the overtime period, and
- 24:05Speaker 1: so really glad to see him be able to play.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Skylar Rowe of Meridian is now in second place with
- 24:11Speaker 1: sixteen goals and leading the way still is Matti Strickland
- 24:14Speaker 1: of Squalalkum who has an incredible thirty eight goals on
- 24:18Speaker 1: the season. But that brings us to the North County
- 24:23Speaker 1: Alliance FC Player of the Week and there's been a
- 24:27Speaker 1: lot of great performances this week as Walking County. Three
- 24:31Speaker 1: Walking County teams made it to the semi finals, and
- 24:34Speaker 1: I'm giving it to this Meridian senior, Skylar Roe. He
- 24:37Speaker 1: had a goal in the first game, he had two
- 24:39Speaker 1: more in the second game, kind of the you know,
- 24:43Speaker 1: the leader of the pack. As far as when when
- 24:47Speaker 1: when Meridian is getting close to score a goal, he
- 24:48Speaker 1: always seems to be one of the ones that are
- 24:50Speaker 1: down there and getting the job done. And he had
- 24:55Speaker 1: a couple of second half goals in that second game
- 24:57Speaker 1: to help put it away. So congratulations the Skylar Row
- 25:00Speaker 1: of Meridian, you are the North County Alliance FC Player
- 25:04Speaker 1: of the week. All right, oh man, let's go to

- 25:50Speaker 1: six four five sixty seven, tell him you heard about
- 25:53Speaker 1: them on the WACOM Preps podcast. And looking at the
- 25:57Speaker 1: overall standings for the season, the season is over. Lyndon
- 26:00Speaker 1: finished twenty one and six, Lyndon Christian sixteen and twelve,
- 26:04Speaker 1: Ferndale twelve and seven, Blaine fourteen and nine, Kniksack Valley
- 26:08Speaker 1: thirteen and twelve, Meridian five and fourteen, Seal five and thirteen,
- 26:13Speaker 1: Mount Baker five and fifteen, and Bellingham, oh and nineteen. Well,
- 26:19Speaker 1: let's take a look at the state tournaments. I was
- 26:21Speaker 1: over there in eastern Washington, bouncing back and forth between
- 26:24Speaker 1: Richland and Sela. On Thursday, Lennon Christian had to play
- 26:28Speaker 1: an opening round game just to get into the double
- 26:32Speaker 1: elimination part of the tournament, and they faced Columbia and
- 26:37Speaker 1: beat them sixteen to six. I was there for the
- 26:40Speaker 1: entire game Lyndon Christian. I think scored in every inning.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Roxanne Lenning hit her fifth home run in the fifth
- 26:47Speaker 1: consecutive game, which was pretty crazy, all of them being
- 26:50Speaker 1: playoff games too, so a very very strong win for
- 26:54Speaker 1: the Links there as they moved into the quarterfinal round,
- 26:58Speaker 1: but they met Seaton Catholic, a really really good team,
- 27:02Speaker 1: lost five to zero there, which put them into the
- 27:04Speaker 1: consolation round where they lost to Seattle Christian ten to six,
- 27:09Speaker 1: and that end of the season for the Links. But
- 27:11Speaker 1: I tell you what great, great year. They really loaded
- 27:15Speaker 1: their scheduled non conference wise, and a big, big chunk
- 27:21Speaker 1: of their team is back next year. So I think
- 27:23Speaker 1: next year they're gonna make another run and I really
- 27:28Speaker 1: think that they can make it happen. A very very
- 27:31Speaker 1: good team, really excited to see what they can do
- 27:34Speaker 1: next year. On the two way side at Carlin Park
- 27:37Speaker 1: and Sila, Man, it was exciting. It was crazy. Lennon
- 27:42Speaker 1: goes in as the five seed and they hosted Cedar
- 27:46Speaker 1: Crest in the first round and they take care of business.
- 27:50Speaker 1: They win twelve to two and then but winning in
- 27:53Speaker 1: the second round has just kind of been their bugaboo
- 27:55Speaker 1: the last handful of years. They win a lot in
- 27:58Speaker 1: the first round, quarterfinal round has been tough, but they
- 28:01Speaker 1: get the win over Kingston. The score was tied six
- 28:04Speaker 1: to six going into the bottom of the sixth inning,
- 28:08Speaker 1: and yeah, they just had a big, big inning in
- 28:12Speaker 1: that final inning. Charlotte Sama hit a home run in
- 28:16Speaker 1: that in that inning, two run home run. Lydia Sama
- 28:19Speaker 1: hit a home run earlier in the game, and it
- 28:22Speaker 1: advanced them to the semi final round for the first
- 28:24Speaker 1: time in like twelve years or something like that. But
- 28:28Speaker 1: they had to face top ranked Mark Morris uh in
- 28:31Speaker 1: that semi final round, and Mark Morris is the real deal.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Lindon started out Campbell de Young hit a home run
- 28:40Speaker 1: in the first inning, and but Mark Morris just there.
- 28:46Speaker 1: There's no holes in their lineup and they just they
- 28:49Speaker 1: just kept on going. They don't swing at bad pitches,
- 28:53Speaker 1: They played great defense. They were all really big, strong girls,
- 28:57Speaker 1: and they end up beating Linden six to Lydia Sloman
- 29:01Speaker 1: had another home run at the end of that game.
- 29:04Speaker 1: But at Sentland into the consolation round where they faced
- 29:07Speaker 1: Port Angelus, who I believe they played earlier in the year,
- 29:10Speaker 1: and they lost fifteen to nothing. This was a much
- 29:12Speaker 1: closer game as they lost eight to seven. Campbell to
- 29:16Speaker 1: Young comes up in the bottom of the seventh inning,
- 29:19Speaker 1: down by two. She hits a solo home run in
- 29:21Speaker 1: her final plate appearance in high school, and I believe
- 29:25Speaker 1: she broke the career record in home runs too, which
- 29:28Speaker 1: is crazy because she's not a home run hitter. Like
- 29:31Speaker 1: you think of her game at speed. It's defense, great
- 29:36Speaker 1: bat control, and every once in a while she'll get
- 29:38Speaker 1: into one. And I think she's the all time career
- 29:41Speaker 1: leader at school and Lynden history in runs, hits, home
- 29:45Speaker 1: runs and stolen based. So what a great career. But
- 29:50Speaker 1: they just came up short there in the heat. And
- 29:52Speaker 1: I'll tell you it was hot. I want to say
- 29:55Speaker 1: nineties easy, ninety three, ninety four degrees, losing to Port
- 29:59Speaker 1: Angelis seven. Hort Angels ends up getting third in the tournament,
- 30:04Speaker 1: Mark Mark Morris ends up finishing first. So the two
- 30:08Speaker 1: teams they lost to pretty good teams. But yeah, it
- 30:14Speaker 1: was that was just kind of the way that it went,
- 30:15Speaker 1: and and it was awesome being over there. I love
- 30:20Speaker 1: going over there to those tournaments. I wish they were
- 30:23Speaker 1: a little closer to each other. They're about seventy five
- 30:26Speaker 1: miles apart from each other, so I'm driving back and
- 30:30Speaker 1: forth and back and forth and trying to catch games
- 30:32Speaker 1: when I can and try to get it all you know,
- 30:35Speaker 1: scheduled out and everything while still trying to remember to
- 30:38Speaker 1: eat in between. And I think I did okay, did
- 30:43Speaker 1: not get heat stroke or anything, which is good, and
- 30:45Speaker 1: I was able to drive safely back home. So again,
- 30:48Speaker 1: I'm just kind of a day behind with everything. Even
- 30:50Speaker 1: with the holiday, I still couldn't catch up. But but yeah,
- 30:55Speaker 1: it was a really really fun week. I always loved
- 30:57Speaker 1: going over there to those to those state tournaments. And
- 31:00Speaker 1: it was only two teams to cover one in each tournament.
- 31:03Speaker 1: I still had a blast and you know, made some
- 31:06Speaker 1: great memories and watching those athletes and it was really
- 31:10Speaker 1: really cool. So let's talk about the stat leaders, and
- 31:14Speaker 1: this is for the entire season now. And what's cool
- 31:19Speaker 1: is I think I'm going to be able to do
- 31:20Speaker 1: graphics like I did for football and basketball, where I
- 31:24Speaker 1: do like the top five with pictures and all those things.
- 31:29Speaker 1: But now that's the end of the season, I can
- 31:30Speaker 1: work on those and get those out there. But we're
- 31:33Speaker 1: talking about the stat leaders in fast pitch and runs
- 31:37Speaker 1: scored the finals stat leaders with forty four runs scored,
- 31:42Speaker 1: it was a tie between Campbell, They Young and Masa Pulse,
- 31:47Speaker 1: Kimball de Young of course of Lynden, Masa Pulse of Blaine.
- 31:50Speaker 1: In hits, Sarah mcveal of Lindon led everybody with forty
- 31:53Speaker 1: eight hits. In doubles, it was a two way tie
- 31:57Speaker 1: between the Linden teammates. Campbellton Young and Charlotte Sama each
- 32:01Speaker 1: hit twelve doubles on the season. In triples, Campbell to
- 32:05Speaker 1: Young of Linden and Kate Kereski of Blaine each had six.
- 32:09Speaker 1: In home runs, Roxanne Lending of Lindon, Christian with the
- 32:12Speaker 1: late surge, finished with ten home runs on the year.
- 32:16Speaker 1: In RBIs, Klie Rammerman of Linden finished with forty four RBIs.
- 32:22Speaker 1: In batting average, it was Tavia Alexander of Meridian. The
- 32:27Speaker 1: freshman finished with a five to twenty eight batting average.
- 32:31Speaker 1: May have helped a little bit that she didn't have
- 32:33Speaker 1: to face competition in state, because I know, I think
- 32:36Speaker 1: like Mason Poles and Sarah McBee and Campbell to Young
- 32:39Speaker 1: were ahead of her, But then they went to Staton
- 32:42Speaker 1: and it was a little bit different pitching the had
- 32:46Speaker 1: to go against and stolen bases. Campbell to Young of
- 32:49Speaker 1: Linden led with forty four stolen bases. So this is crazy.
- 32:52Speaker 1: So Campbell to Young had forty four runs, scored, forty
- 32:55Speaker 1: four hits, forty three RBIs, and forty four steals unbelievable
- 33:02Speaker 1: in walks eight and Bartle of Nookzac Valley ended up
- 33:05Speaker 1: walking thirty times. In slugging percentage, Masa Pulse a Blaine
- 33:10Speaker 1: Slip slugged twelve oh three. She also got hit by
- 33:13Speaker 1: pitch seventeen times, which leads and in on base percentage,
- 33:19Speaker 1: Masa Pulse got on base sixty eight point nine percent
- 33:22Speaker 1: of the time. In the pitching leaders, Cali Rammerman led
- 33:25Speaker 1: with twenty wins to just six losses. She also led
- 33:29Speaker 1: an innings pitched with one hundred and fifty. She also
- 33:32Speaker 1: struck out two hundred and ninety nine batters. That is incredible.
- 33:36Speaker 1: That might be a walking county record. I'd have to
- 33:38Speaker 1: look back and see. And that's what the summers are for.
- 33:43Speaker 1: That's what I do in the summer. I do a
- 33:45Speaker 1: lot of research. And then she also had an ERA
- 33:47Speaker 1: of two point ninety four. So Calie Rammerman and Lindon
- 33:50Speaker 1: Christian leading in all four pitching categories there and of
- 33:56Speaker 1: course the stat leaders and the daily scoreboards were brought
- 33:58Speaker 1: to you by Manna and Surance Group. You can visit

- 34:20Speaker 1: to see all these games in person, and uh I
- 34:24Speaker 1: got to give it to Campbell to Young of Lyndon,
- 34:28Speaker 1: you know, helping lead the team. I think she had
- 34:30Speaker 1: like I don't know, two doubles in a triple in
- 34:33Speaker 1: that first game, and you know, second game she I
- 34:37Speaker 1: don't know if she was able to get a hit,
- 34:39Speaker 1: but I know she got on base, scored a run,
- 34:41Speaker 1: and then they get into the semi finals, she hits
- 34:43Speaker 1: a home run, and she hits the home run in
- 34:45Speaker 1: her final at bat of her career. So Gampbell to
- 34:47Speaker 1: Young of Lyndon, Congratulations you are the Walkam Wolverines Fast

- 35:51Speaker 1: zero seven four six four five sixty seven and tell
- 35:54Speaker 1: him you heard about them on the WACOM Preps podcast. Well,
- 35:59Speaker 1: let's take a look look at the state brackets here
- 36:02Speaker 1: and we're gonna start off in the one A and
- 36:04Speaker 1: this is the way that it goes is it's not
- 36:06Speaker 1: double elimination. You play two games on Saturday. If you
- 36:09Speaker 1: get to your second game to just get to the
- 36:12Speaker 1: final four, which is held at Joe Martin Stadium for
- 36:14Speaker 1: one A and two way. It's a lot of excitement
- 36:17Speaker 1: there and hope. And on the one A side, we
- 36:19Speaker 1: just had the one team from Walking County, Lyndon Christian.
- 36:22Speaker 1: They were the third seed. They shut out Natchi's Valley
- 36:25Speaker 1: seven to zero. Samcock scatters I think eight hits in
- 36:29Speaker 1: all seven innings, but doesn't walk anybody and does get
- 36:32Speaker 1: the shutout win there. So they advanced to the quarterfinal round,
- 36:35Speaker 1: but they were beaten by Kings twelve to two. And
- 36:39Speaker 1: that end of the season for the Lynx. What a
- 36:42Speaker 1: year it was. The Links were they started out super hot,
- 36:47Speaker 1: they got into you know, there was a rough week
- 36:49Speaker 1: and a half or so there kind of near the
- 36:52Speaker 1: you know, about seventy percent of the way through the
- 36:54Speaker 1: season where they just played a lot of really good
- 36:57Speaker 1: teams and I think they lost they lost like four
- 36:59Speaker 1: or five, five of six or something like that. But
- 37:01Speaker 1: then they they got back on track. District champions go
- 37:06Speaker 1: to State, get a get a win at State and
- 37:08Speaker 1: a bow out in the quarterfinal round. Pretty good season
- 37:11Speaker 1: for the winning Christian Lynx. Some really good seniors that
- 37:15Speaker 1: they'll say goodbye to, but there will be a you know,
- 37:17Speaker 1: there's some great players coming back as well, and coach
- 37:20Speaker 1: Rawls does an amazing job with that team. On the
- 37:24Speaker 1: two way side, we had a couple of teams to
- 37:26Speaker 1: pull for here, but they both were on the road. Lynnen.
- 37:32Speaker 1: They they lost, They lost a five, seven to five,
- 37:37Speaker 1: and that was played out at Bainbridge High School and
- 37:41Speaker 1: that was that was that for them. That was tough.
- 37:45Speaker 1: You know, they were the district champions and you know,
- 37:49Speaker 1: a close game and it seems like Lennon always plays
- 37:52Speaker 1: like two run games. Uh either it could go either way.
- 37:55Speaker 1: And really good coaching staff, strong team again, a big
- 38:01Speaker 1: time group of seniors there that run to say goodbye to,
- 38:04Speaker 1: but they'll be back. Very good you know, younger players
- 38:08Speaker 1: as well. See Home Seehome went on the road played
- 38:12Speaker 1: against WF West at Shandele Park High School. They win
- 38:16Speaker 1: seven to six by whole. They had scored five early
- 38:19Speaker 1: on and then they just held on. Garrett Gibbons, the freshman,
- 38:23Speaker 1: picks up his eighth win of the season, leads all
- 38:25Speaker 1: of walkame County and they get onto the quarterfinal round
- 38:29Speaker 1: where they took on Ording, who had this upset win
- 38:32Speaker 1: over West Valley and they just kept that street going
- 38:35Speaker 1: as Ording was all over see Home fourteen to three.
- 38:39Speaker 1: So the Mariners fall and they are out as well.
- 38:43Speaker 1: But the nineteen wins was the most they've had in
- 38:46Speaker 1: like fifteen years something like that. And they had a
- 38:50Speaker 1: heck of a state run not that long ago when
- 38:53Speaker 1: Monti Walton was the head coach that had a big
- 38:54Speaker 1: time senior class and mcconnaugh, Grondon and those guys. That
- 39:00Speaker 1: was a team I covered a lot, and that team
- 39:03Speaker 1: got to the final four and they didn't even have
- 39:05Speaker 1: nineteen wins on the year. So see them with nineteen
- 39:08Speaker 1: wins this year pretty incredible. It's a you know, they're
- 39:14Speaker 1: headed on the right track. They will say goodbye again
- 39:17Speaker 1: to some really good seniors, but they have a big
- 39:19Speaker 1: time group of underclassmen that will hopefully just keep that
- 39:23Speaker 1: ball rolling for the Mariners. And I know in the
- 39:25Speaker 1: Bellingham school districts there's a lot of good baseball players
- 39:28Speaker 1: coming up that will be high schoolers next year, and
- 39:30Speaker 1: so we'll see kind of how that all shakes out.
- 39:33Speaker 1: But yeah, really fun season of baseball this year all around.
- 39:38Speaker 1: I mean, I loved going to all the games. Working
- 39:41Speaker 1: on that top fifty list right now, which is brutal
- 39:44Speaker 1: because I have like sixty players that are deserving and
- 39:50Speaker 1: that's the part I hate, is having to cut out
- 39:52Speaker 1: some players from the list. But we'll just kind of
- 39:56Speaker 1: see how things go. I've got kind of a formula
- 39:59Speaker 1: of numbers I'm putting and uh yeah, we'll We'll just
- 40:04Speaker 1: see how it all works out. Let's talk about the
