Speaker 1: out online at nwofficials dot com. Well, let's go over
1:57
Speaker 1: the football games. A lot of them important ones. We're
2:00
Speaker 1: gonna start. We're gonna jump right into the one that
2:03
Speaker 1: was out at Nuksack Valley. Although it was a non
2:05
Speaker 1: conference game, a big it was an important one, just
2:09
Speaker 1: in the classification of one. A Monaseno rolls in ranked
2:13
Speaker 1: number two on the Coaches poll. There's all sorts of
2:16
Speaker 1: polls out there. I mean, there's the Evans rankings, there's
2:18
Speaker 1: the Max Preps polls, there's the Coaches Poll, and there's
2:22
Speaker 1: the RPI and whichever one I mean, maybe I should
2:25
Speaker 1: take a look at all of them and just average
2:26
Speaker 1: everything out and make a walk and preps pool. Who knows.
2:29
Speaker 1: But the one I like is the coaches Poll. All
2:32
Speaker 1: the coaches, you know, the Coaches Association vote on it
2:35
Speaker 1: every week. It's the one I kind of trust the most.
2:38
Speaker 1: Coming into the game, they had Monassano ranked number two,
2:40
Speaker 1: they were undefeated. Nusack Valley was number ten. Monosano makes
2:44
Speaker 1: the track up here to play at sid Lambert Field,
2:47
Speaker 1: and and I thought that the Pioneers had a great
2:52
Speaker 1: game plan. They did some a few certain things kind
2:55
Speaker 1: of anticipating the weather. You saw kind of a I
3:00
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to call it, like a
3:01
Speaker 1: heavy backfield where you basically had three backs back there
3:05
Speaker 1: with Evan Brown on the sideline, so kind of a
3:09
Speaker 1: wildcat with three sophomores, wild sophomore, you can call it.
3:14
Speaker 1: And they did some damage that way. They did some
3:15
Speaker 1: unbalanced line stuff. But I thought defensive they really did
3:20
Speaker 1: a good job of neutralizing Montisano's passing game. And you know,
3:24
Speaker 1: their quarterback last year threw for three hundred and some
3:27
Speaker 1: yards against them, and they held them to one hundred
3:30
Speaker 1: and fifty nine yards passing, So a great job by
3:33
Speaker 1: the pioneer defense. Montasno does score the first touchdown of
3:36
Speaker 1: the game on a fifty one yard touchdown pass and
3:40
Speaker 1: it was that was in the second corner. Evan Brown
3:43
Speaker 1: ran one in from twelve yards out to tie the
3:45
Speaker 1: game up right before halftime. Seven to seven. Game no
3:49
Speaker 1: scoring in the third quarter, but yeah, but great Hugh
3:54
Speaker 1: Tink scored on a four yard touchdown run in the
3:56
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That's a guy that just does not like
4:00
Speaker 1: going like he just not like being tackled. I mean
4:03
Speaker 1: he is. He will keep fighting for every yard, every foot,
4:06
Speaker 1: every inch, love the way he plays football and just
4:12
Speaker 1: not an easy guy to bring down. And he proved
4:14
Speaker 1: it on that four yard touchdown run ended up being
4:17
Speaker 1: the eventual game winner. He had a good game, twelve
4:21
Speaker 1: carries for forty four yards and the eventual game winning touchdown.
4:25
Speaker 1: There Trevin Skeenstra twelve carries for sixty six yards. I
4:28
Speaker 1: think both these backs, I say it every week, it
4:30
Speaker 1: seems like they're just getting better and better and feeling
4:33
Speaker 1: more like, you know, like varsity players in their own right.
4:38
Speaker 1: And they're becoming very good varsity players. And that's what's
4:40
Speaker 1: been really fun to see. Evan Brown four carries for
4:43
Speaker 1: twenty six yards in the touchdown, Tyler Martin six carries
4:46
Speaker 1: for eighteen yards out of the wildcat spot, Evan Brown
4:49
Speaker 1: ten for nineteen through the air for one hundred and
4:51
Speaker 1: twenty six yards and an interception. But and you're gonna
4:56
Speaker 1: see a lot of these passing numbers from this week
4:58
Speaker 1: are not what they're usually. A lot of it was
5:01
Speaker 1: because of the weather, but hey, everybody had to deal
5:05
Speaker 1: with it. In receiving, Jackson Hester four catches for forty
5:09
Speaker 1: eight yards, Jade Jones three catches for forty four yards,
5:12
Speaker 1: Cole Coppinger a two catches for twenty one yards, and
5:14
Speaker 1: Tyler Martin had a thirteen yard reception as well. If
5:18
Speaker 1: you look at the defensive side of the ball, there
5:20
Speaker 1: was a handful of guys that stood out. Jackson Hester
5:22
Speaker 1: once again from his inside linebacker spot ten tackles, a
5:25
Speaker 1: tackle for loss, a quarterback sack, a pass broken up,
5:28
Speaker 1: and that guy just brings energy wherever he goes. Jayden
5:31
Speaker 1: Jones with three tackles, three passes broken up, and an interception.
5:36
Speaker 1: Brian Lailey six and a half tackles another half of
5:39
Speaker 1: a sack, so he's still leading Walking County now with
5:42
Speaker 1: seven sacks on the year. Andrew Duggar six tackles, half
5:46
Speaker 1: a sack, and Max Lautenbach was seven and a half
5:49
Speaker 1: tackles as well. Those were kind of your leaders on
5:52
Speaker 1: defense and Nookzac Valley picking up the wind over montasno
5:56
Speaker 1: very impressive. Their third win in a row. Now, it's
5:59
Speaker 1: just been a strange year. It's been very streaky. Start
6:02
Speaker 1: the year off with a couple of wins, then you
6:05
Speaker 1: lose three in a row, and then you've won three
6:08
Speaker 1: in a row. So it's been an interesting year for them.
6:12
Speaker 1: And I think the good thing for them right now
6:14
Speaker 1: is I think they're playing at their best football right
6:17
Speaker 1: now and going forward, even though they've already clinched a
6:22
Speaker 1: spot in the round of twenty four for one A,
6:25
Speaker 1: I think going forward now, these are the games are
6:28
Speaker 1: just gonna get more and more important. They'll be hosting
6:32
Speaker 1: Lynn and Christian coming up this upcoming week and a
6:35
Speaker 1: great great game there to see who's going to be
6:37
Speaker 1: second place in the Northwest one A conference. And you
6:41
Speaker 1: know a win there will get you such a great
6:44
Speaker 1: seed and then from there it's it's you got you
6:46
Speaker 1: gotta win to keep playing. So, you know, coming into
6:49
Speaker 1: the year, I think a lot of people looked at
6:50
Speaker 1: the Pioneers and said, Okay, you've lost all these names
6:52
Speaker 1: that we've known for so long. And you know, obviously
6:56
Speaker 1: we've known about the Golden Lens and Brady Akerman. Those
6:59
Speaker 1: are the big names that always get said, but the
7:01
Speaker 1: Corey Onneys and that Evan Bravo, and there's just there's
7:05
Speaker 1: so many other guys that were so important to that
7:08
Speaker 1: run that they've had. So it's great to see all
7:11
Speaker 1: these new guys coming in and making plays. And number
7:15
Speaker 1: one on that list is Jackson Hester. I just think
7:17
Speaker 1: he's just one of those players that is making his mark.
7:24
Speaker 1: Is he's going to be known for a long time
7:26
Speaker 1: because of the way he's playing, and he's just such
7:29
Speaker 1: a positive force out there on the football field, and
7:33
Speaker 1: some guys can will their teams to victory, and I
7:35
Speaker 1: believe that he was kind of one of those guys.
7:38
Speaker 1: On Friday Night, big big win over the Bulldogs, they
7:41
Speaker 1: suffer their first loss of the season. Nuksack Valley wins
7:44
Speaker 1: thirteen to seven. Fantastic win. For the guys up there
7:48
Speaker 1: in the Bermuda triangle of Nuksak, Everson and sum Mass.
7:53
Speaker 1: Now we're going to head out to Lakewood High School
7:55
Speaker 1: as the Cougars brought hosted the Lions of Linen and Linnen.
8:01
Speaker 1: Coming off that you know, that tough loss against Archbishop Murphy,
8:04
Speaker 1: come into this game and scoring four touchdowns in the
8:08
Speaker 1: first quarter alone. I mean it was all Linnen. There
8:10
Speaker 1: was nothing they could do wrong. You know, they were
8:13
Speaker 1: they were wounded. They're missing some some key guys, but
8:16
Speaker 1: they just have so much depth and other guys coming in.
8:19
Speaker 1: Lucas Lolgi scores the first touchdown on a six yard run.
8:22
Speaker 1: Dawson Van Dalen on a four yard touchdown run. Lucas
8:25
Speaker 1: Logi has a couple of touchdown passes at the end
8:28
Speaker 1: of the first quarter, one on a little shovel pass
8:30
Speaker 1: to Marcus Caanan coming across UH that went eight yards
8:34
Speaker 1: and then a deep one to Gordy Bedlington for thirty
8:36
Speaker 1: seven yards. It's twenty eight zero after one quarter of play.
8:40
Speaker 1: Dawson Van Dalen uh finished off finished finishes off his
8:44
Speaker 1: night with a one yard touchdown run at the beginning
8:47
Speaker 1: of the second quarter, and then Alvaro Mendoza baby comes
8:52
Speaker 1: in and I love this, the senior defensive lineman getting
8:55
Speaker 1: some carries, showing what he could do. I mean, it
8:58
Speaker 1: was just him for one whole six plays, seventy nine yards.
9:02
Speaker 1: He finishes off with a twenty seven yard touchdown run.
9:05
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean about Linden. You've got guys
9:08
Speaker 1: that are that rarely get to play certain positions that
9:10
Speaker 1: could be a force for other teams. That was really
9:14
Speaker 1: really cool to see. And then Austin Postma, the sophomore quarterback,
9:18
Speaker 1: getting a couple of touchdown runs there, one at the
9:21
Speaker 1: end of the half and one in the fourth quarter.
9:24
Speaker 1: And yeah, fifty five zero Linden. I mean, there's not
9:26
Speaker 1: a whole lot else to say. They ran the ball
9:29
Speaker 1: forty four times, they snapped the ball forty nine times,
9:32
Speaker 1: so it was very, very run heavy. A lot of
9:34
Speaker 1: that could have been just due to the weather. They
9:37
Speaker 1: were four of five through the air LOLG three of
9:40
Speaker 1: four for seventy seven yards and the two touchdowns Austin
9:43
Speaker 1: Postma one of one for thirty four yards to Miguel Lopez.
9:47
Speaker 1: Dawson Van Dalen fourteen carries for one hundred and fourteen
9:50
Speaker 1: yards and the two touchdowns. Alvaro Mendoza babies, like I
9:53
Speaker 1: said earlier, six carries for seventy nine yards. Austin Postma,
9:57
Speaker 1: the sophomore backup quarterback, thirteen carre for fifty five yards
10:01
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Lucas Lologi had twenty yards on the
10:04
Speaker 1: ground as well and through and in receiving it was
10:08
Speaker 1: five or I'm sorry, four different guys with a catch.
10:10
Speaker 1: Gordy Bedlington, Miguel Lopez sam Arango and Marcus Kane. And
10:14
Speaker 1: Marcus Kanan also six for six on extra points with
10:18
Speaker 1: five touchbacks. Very very impressive there and uh yeah, I
10:23
Speaker 1: mean Lindon just doing their thing, all of Mendoza. Beaty
10:26
Speaker 1: also leading the defense two tackles, both of them behind
10:28
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. He also batted a pass away.
10:32
Speaker 1: Very very impressive. They got a lot of guys in
10:35
Speaker 1: there defensively. They also had four interceptions in the game.
10:40
Speaker 1: Uh so very you know, just doing lots of different things.
10:43
Speaker 1: Their interceptions came from seniors Brody Price and Antonio Simanu,
10:47
Speaker 1: as well as junior Lincoln van Rye and sophomore Zane Shot.
10:51
Speaker 1: So great, great game by Lyndon, you know, kind of
10:56
Speaker 1: get him back on the right track. Malachaikane to not play,
11:01
Speaker 1: you know, resting an injury. There's obviously Danny Boehler and
11:04
Speaker 1: Max Ossink are not back, and so a lot of
11:08
Speaker 1: other guys did some good things. It was really good
11:10
Speaker 1: to see Lindon look sharp, and they're gonna need to
11:14
Speaker 1: be as again. Like I said about Knoksack Valley going forward,
11:17
Speaker 1: a lot of these games are going to be very
11:19
Speaker 1: very important getting as they get closer to postseason play. Next,
11:24
Speaker 1: let's head out to the border city of Blaine, where
11:27
Speaker 1: Mount Baker came to town and won forty nine to twenty.
11:32
Speaker 1: They started out really fast, Mount Baker up twenty one
11:34
Speaker 1: zero in the second quarter. Blaine scores two of the
11:37
Speaker 1: next three touchdowns though, so Blaine did some really good
11:40
Speaker 1: things there. Through the air, they would find these little
11:44
Speaker 1: pockets in the zone defense where you know a receiver
11:48
Speaker 1: can run right past the guy and he's only going
11:50
Speaker 1: to go as far as his depth allows, and then
11:52
Speaker 1: you get that ball to him right before you know
11:54
Speaker 1: the back end can get there. And they they were
11:56
Speaker 1: finding ways to move the ball doing that. Connor Brown,
12:00
Speaker 1: the sophomore quarterback out of Blaine, was twenty of thirty
12:04
Speaker 1: three for two hundred and seventy five yards I mean,
12:09
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. I mean, that was just a huge
12:11
Speaker 1: game by him. A couple of touchdown passes to sophomore
12:15
Speaker 1: Hunter Candanosa, one to Peyton Bauma. I mean, these guys
12:18
Speaker 1: are all underclassmen, so you're gonna see all these guys
12:20
Speaker 1: again coming up next year, Mount Baker. It was the
12:25
Speaker 1: Bryce Cooper Show. Fourteen carries for two hundred and nine
12:29
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. Unbelievable game by him. He is
12:33
Speaker 1: over one thousand yards rushing now on the season and
12:36
Speaker 1: still averaging over ten yards to carry. You know, I
12:40
Speaker 1: was looking it up. I don't remember the exact number,
12:43
Speaker 1: but it's not a lot guys that have ran the
12:45
Speaker 1: ball for over one thousand yards in a season and
12:47
Speaker 1: average over ten yards to carry in that season. It's less.
12:50
Speaker 1: It's on you know, it's a single digit number. It's
12:53
Speaker 1: not very many guys in Walking County history that have
12:55
Speaker 1: done that. Of course, going forward, the games are only
12:58
Speaker 1: going to get harder and harder, so it's going to
12:59
Speaker 1: be harder to maintained that average. But man, what a season.
13:03
Speaker 1: Bryce Cooper is having. Just an unbelievable year, capping it
13:07
Speaker 1: off at the end with a fifty three yard touchdown
13:09
Speaker 1: run to put him over two hundred yards on the day.
13:13
Speaker 1: Camden Moa eleven carries for seventy three yards. He also
13:16
Speaker 1: had a touchdown run in the first quarter. Gage Smith
13:20
Speaker 1: five carries for sixty nine yards. They also caught a
13:23
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard touchdown pass Noa. Nicole Mills five carries
13:26
Speaker 1: for twenty nine yards, Gunner McGrath three carries for twenty
13:29
Speaker 1: three yards, and Toga Tigilaw, the senior quarterback, two carries
13:33
Speaker 1: for five yards, including a one yard touchdown run through
13:36
Speaker 1: the air. Tigilau was four to ten for eighty six
13:39
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Jet Ross a quiet day for
13:42
Speaker 1: jet Ross for his standards this year to just the
13:44
Speaker 1: two catches for fourteen yards. Gage Smith had that fifty
13:48
Speaker 1: seven yard reception for a touchdown, and Zyanne Peglia with
13:52
Speaker 1: a one reception for fifteen yards on the Blaine side
13:57
Speaker 1: running the ball. It was actually Ashler Hagey who came in,
14:00
Speaker 1: the freshman who came in on the final drive. I
14:03
Speaker 1: know it was against backups, but he looked really sharp.
14:06
Speaker 1: Four carries for thirty three yards ladies and gentlemen. He
14:10
Speaker 1: is the future. Just a freshman, but one of those
14:14
Speaker 1: track phenoms as far as unbelievable, Like when he was
14:18
Speaker 1: in junior high, I mean, he was winning things that
14:20
Speaker 1: were like he was winning like the hundred and the
14:23
Speaker 1: shot put, like just one of those kids that and
14:25
Speaker 1: he was dominating everybody. So I was really excited for
14:28
Speaker 1: his future first year football player. But even when I
14:31
Speaker 1: went out to Blaine's practice, Everybody's working on all these
14:33
Speaker 1: team drills and different things. All he's doing is just
14:36
Speaker 1: taking handoffs and learning how to read blocks like back
14:39
Speaker 1: and forth, just read just over and over and over
14:43
Speaker 1: and over again. And I think that they know down
14:47
Speaker 1: the line he's going to be kind of their guy
14:49
Speaker 1: carrying the ball. So it was really good to see
14:51
Speaker 1: him get into the game late. Four carries for thirty
14:54
Speaker 1: three yards, Connor Brown sixteen carries for twenty two yards,
14:57
Speaker 1: Kaykerwin nine carries for nineteen yards. Like I said earlier,
15:00
Speaker 1: Connor Brown twenty and thirty three through the air for
15:03
Speaker 1: two seventy two kay Kerwin six catches for twenty two yards.
15:07
Speaker 1: Hunter Canden Knowsa five receptions for one hundred and eight
15:10
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Kind of had a breakout game there.
15:13
Speaker 1: I'm excited for his future. He's just a guy that
15:16
Speaker 1: can catch a lot of passes, and he's a good
15:19
Speaker 1: slot receiver guy and knows how to get into the
15:22
Speaker 1: read the zone and find the spot. Peyton Bama, you know,
15:27
Speaker 1: just an athletic freak. Five catches for eighty six yards
15:30
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. He just continues to put up numbers
15:33
Speaker 1: every single game. His brother, Isaac Bama four catches for
15:37
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards. I thought Isaac had his best game,
15:40
Speaker 1: had a knock down a pass in the end zone.
15:42
Speaker 1: I've been starting at corner all year, had a good
15:45
Speaker 1: game a corner and then also, like I said, four
15:48
Speaker 1: catches for fifty seven yards of probably his best game
15:50
Speaker 1: offensively as well. So Mount Baker picking up the win
15:55
Speaker 1: there forty nine to twenty. I think that's kind of
15:58
Speaker 1: what was expected, but I was really I thought both
16:01
Speaker 1: teams played pretty well. I mean, I thought Blaine did
16:03
Speaker 1: a great job. I think Blaine's improving so much from
16:06
Speaker 1: week to week. They are making big plays against really
16:10
Speaker 1: good teams, which is awesome to see. You know, they
16:14
Speaker 1: got one game left conference game, well one conference game left.
16:17
Speaker 1: I should say that's gonna be against Meridian and then
16:20
Speaker 1: we'll see who they play in a Week ten crossover game.
16:23
Speaker 1: I really hope they get a game in because I
16:24
Speaker 1: think what these kids need are just reps and they're
16:30
Speaker 1: just so so young, and but I really like the
16:34
Speaker 1: trajectory that they're on right now. Mount Baker, you know,
16:37
Speaker 1: getting the win, scoring you know, two touchdowns in each quarter,
16:41
Speaker 1: except for the second quarter where they almost scored two touchdowns.
16:45
Speaker 1: They went down there kicked a field goal, but that
16:48
Speaker 1: was called back on a I believe it was a
16:50
Speaker 1: delay a game, which is kind of funny how that
16:53
Speaker 1: goes with all the hubbubb last week or the week before,
16:57
Speaker 1: I should say, with all that, but but yeah, they
17:00
Speaker 1: were they were held out of the en zone at
17:02
Speaker 1: the end of the half. But but Mount Baker offense
17:05
Speaker 1: was looking sharp. I thought the offensive line looked awesome.
17:08
Speaker 1: And when you look at the defensive side of the
17:11
Speaker 1: ball for Mount Baker, Kempden Moa I thought had a
17:15
Speaker 1: pretty darn good game. Eight tackles, two tackles for loss,
17:18
Speaker 1: a pass broken up Zion Paglia nine tackles and a
17:21
Speaker 1: pass broken up and an interception. I tell you what
17:24
Speaker 1: Zion Peglia is one of the best tackling corners I've
17:29
Speaker 1: seen this year in high school football. You know, sometimes
17:33
Speaker 1: guys get put out there because you know, you got
17:35
Speaker 1: some speed and stuff like that. But if you're if
17:37
Speaker 1: you're a dB and you can hit and you can
17:39
Speaker 1: make you can make stops, they usually put it safety.
17:42
Speaker 1: And he's a guy out there playing corner, and I
17:45
Speaker 1: think a lot of teams challenge him, especially with Bryce
17:47
Speaker 1: Cooper on the other side, and he is answering the
17:51
Speaker 1: bell every single time, a very good tackler, especially on
17:54
Speaker 1: kickoffs he goes down, he's one of the first guys
17:56
Speaker 1: down there every single time. I'm really impressed with what
17:58
Speaker 1: he's done this year, you know, I just I'm just
18:03
Speaker 1: really happy because you know, you if you're a state caliber,
18:07
Speaker 1: state championship caliber team, you can't have any holes, especially
18:10
Speaker 1: on that defense. The other team will will find it.
18:12
Speaker 1: And coming into the year, I kind of thought, well,
18:14
Speaker 1: he's kind of the unproven guy, and like I said,
18:17
Speaker 1: people test him and he answers the bell every single time,
18:20
Speaker 1: So I'm really glad to see that. It's been awesome
18:22
Speaker 1: to see him play football. Speaking of awesome to watch
18:25
Speaker 1: play football. Andrew Monteeth another big game, seven and a
18:30
Speaker 1: half tackles, half attackle for loss. He also had a
18:32
Speaker 1: fumble recovery NOA. Nicole Mills ten tackles and a tackle
18:36
Speaker 1: for loss. He is all over the field. Kel reared
18:39
Speaker 1: and once again three and a half tackles at tackle
18:41
Speaker 1: for loss, a sack, a pass, knockdown of the line
18:44
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. I see, I feel like he knocks down
18:46
Speaker 1: a pass of the line of scrimmage every single game.
18:49
Speaker 1: Just a force at defensive end. And then for Blaine
18:52
Speaker 1: and I it's kind of the same guys as usual
18:54
Speaker 1: on the defense. For Blaine, you know those kind of
18:57
Speaker 1: those four linebackers, the two inside guys, the two edge guys.
19:01
Speaker 1: On the edge say say Hu Kanaji four and a
19:04
Speaker 1: half tackles at tackle for loss. On the other side,
19:06
Speaker 1: Peyton Bauman with seven tackles and a forced fumble. And
19:09
Speaker 1: on the inside, Axel Shelton had six and a half
19:12
Speaker 1: tackles and Matt Campion had six tackles and and also
19:19
Speaker 1: Blake Collins at the defensive tackle spot. He had two
19:22
Speaker 1: and a half tackles and one and a half tackles
19:25
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. I really think that he's
19:28
Speaker 1: a guy that's been improving quite a bit, you know,
19:32
Speaker 1: a linebacker by trade, but fitting into that defensive line
19:35
Speaker 1: spot and he can he can his get off and
19:39
Speaker 1: quickness can disrupt some things in the backfield and he
19:42
Speaker 1: makes plays and you can tell that's a kid that
19:43
Speaker 1: loves football. So I really expect a good finish to
19:47
Speaker 1: the season in a really strong year next year from
19:50
Speaker 1: from Blake Collins. So that is the Mount Baker versus
19:54
Speaker 1: Blaying game. Mount Baker of course picking up the win
19:56
Speaker 1: and by doing so, they win the north West Conference
20:00
Speaker 1: one A championship, and it's been it's been a few
20:03
Speaker 1: years since that's happened. So uh, they did, they did
20:06
Speaker 1: all they did tie for it three years ago in
20:09
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But it's the first outright one in
20:12
Speaker 1: a little bit. So let's head out to Lynnon Christian
20:15
Speaker 1: where the Links beat Meridian forty eight to seven. And
20:20
Speaker 1: this looked kind of even early on as far as
20:22
Speaker 1: you know, Lennon Christian goes down, scores a touchdown right
20:25
Speaker 1: away and kind of a fluky play looked like where
20:29
Speaker 1: it looked like the ball was supposed to be handed
20:32
Speaker 1: to Chris Coyman, but they're you know, it's raining, the
20:34
Speaker 1: slippery and all that stuff, so the ball kind of
20:36
Speaker 1: floats up in the air. Mayberry just grabs it and
20:39
Speaker 1: follows Coyman into the end zone for a two yard
20:41
Speaker 1: touchdown run. Probably not how they drew it up, but
20:45
Speaker 1: it worked. Nonetheless. I mean, if I'm me, if I'm
20:48
Speaker 1: Eli Mayberry, I have no problem following Chris Coyman anywhere.
20:51
Speaker 1: You're gonna You're gonna do some some good things and
20:54
Speaker 1: pick up some of the yards. So that that play worked.
20:56
Speaker 1: Meridan ends up driving getting down the field, but they
21:00
Speaker 1: turned the ball over on downs. I think it was
21:02
Speaker 1: inside the five yard line, and they were really really close.
21:05
Speaker 1: They were moving the ball doing some good things. Meridian
21:08
Speaker 1: had a really strange game. I you know, I'm trying
21:13
Speaker 1: to like I'm trying to picture this in my head
21:15
Speaker 1: or how to how to describe this, But I think
21:18
Speaker 1: they only turned the ball over one time. They never punted,
21:23
Speaker 1: but they only ended up with seven points. So they
21:25
Speaker 1: went forward on fourth down every single time. And I
21:29
Speaker 1: think that maybe the mindset of the Trojans was, you know,
21:32
Speaker 1: we're undermanned, we're deemed up, we're going on the road
21:35
Speaker 1: to face an Els team that's frankly probably a little
21:39
Speaker 1: ticked off about the week before. And the only way
21:43
Speaker 1: we have a chance here is if if they if
21:46
Speaker 1: they have three downs, we need four downs. So they're
21:49
Speaker 1: just like, we're always going to use that fourth down
21:51
Speaker 1: to try to get more yards. It did. It ended
21:53
Speaker 1: up not not working, but I mean, I give them
21:55
Speaker 1: all the credit in the world. Were going for it,
21:59
Speaker 1: Linnon Christian, you know, scoring Lenny Christian didn't pun either,
22:03
Speaker 1: but that was because they were scoring on a lot
22:05
Speaker 1: of these drives. And yeah, Boyce Robertson with another three
22:11
Speaker 1: touchdown receptions that gives him fifteen on the year. That
22:15
Speaker 1: ties the school record for touchdown receptions in the season,
22:19
Speaker 1: as tied with Kevin Coy from back in two thousand
22:22
Speaker 1: and two. And it's just been a fun thing to watch,
22:27
Speaker 1: you know, Maybury to Robertson, there's short passes, there's long passes.
22:31
Speaker 1: Caden Veldman had a touchdown reception as well. Then they
22:33
Speaker 1: kind of went to the ground game late. The rain
22:36
Speaker 1: started about for three minutes left in the first half
22:40
Speaker 1: and did not stop throughout the rest of the game,
22:42
Speaker 1: so the links were very ground heavy after that, and
22:46
Speaker 1: the Trojans, I mean, they don't care about the weather.
22:49
Speaker 1: They're going to be chucking it. Trey Alexander twenty of
22:52
Speaker 1: forty eight through the air for two hundred and seventy
22:54
Speaker 1: eight yards. I don't know if I've ever seen a
22:56
Speaker 1: game in high school football where a quarterback attempted forty
22:59
Speaker 1: eight passes and did not throw a touchdown or an interception.
23:04
Speaker 1: So it was just kind of a strange stat line there.
23:06
Speaker 1: Trey Alexander did score a touchdown on a quarterback sneak
23:09
Speaker 1: from a yard out at the end of the first half.
23:12
Speaker 1: That was the lone score for the Trojans. Yeah. And
23:16
Speaker 1: then through the air for a Meridian Daniel Larson seven
23:20
Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and ten yards. I mean, that
23:22
Speaker 1: kid is just a matchup problem. I really loved his
23:25
Speaker 1: maturation this year and even from like last year going
23:28
Speaker 1: into this year, I think he's having a tremendous year.
23:31
Speaker 1: Pierce Berezowski four catches for seventy nine yards, Brandon Fisher
23:35
Speaker 1: the freshman, four catches for fifty one yards, Casey Brennan
23:38
Speaker 1: two receptions for sixteen yards, and three other players with
23:42
Speaker 1: one catch for Lyndon Christian Chris Coyman seventeen carries for
23:46
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty two yards and the touchdown. You know,
23:50
Speaker 1: when the weather gets sloppy, you just ride your big
23:53
Speaker 1: horse and follow him, and that's what they did with Coyman.
23:56
Speaker 1: Another big, big game. He's getting closer to that thousand
23:59
Speaker 1: yards for the season. Trey Johnson six carries for thirteen
24:03
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. Eli Mayberry. It's so funny because
24:07
Speaker 1: you know, I talked to him earlier about, oh, the
24:09
Speaker 1: passing numbers are going to be down this week because
24:11
Speaker 1: of the weather. That's a kid that I don't think
24:13
Speaker 1: the weather matters to him. He's just he's always going
24:16
Speaker 1: to put up very good efficient numbers. Check this out.
24:19
Speaker 1: Eighteen of twenty six through the air for three hundred
24:21
Speaker 1: and eight yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions. He's just when
24:26
Speaker 1: you look at like quarterback rating for a season, what
24:29
Speaker 1: he's doing right now is probably one of the best
24:31
Speaker 1: in Walkin County history. Jeff Benham, Josh Kraft, Logan Daikstra.
24:37
Speaker 1: These guys put up huge numbers for a complete season,
24:40
Speaker 1: just as far as totally efficiency. With the quarterback rating,
24:43
Speaker 1: which basically takes into account, completion percentage, yards per pass attempt,
24:47
Speaker 1: touchdown percentage, and interception percentage. So if you have a
24:51
Speaker 1: good touchdown interception ratio, you complete, you complete passes down
24:54
Speaker 1: the field and there's not many incompletions. All those things
24:58
Speaker 1: combined that's how you make your quarterback race. And Eli
25:01
Speaker 1: Mayberry's right now is just off the charts, so great,
25:05
Speaker 1: great season for him. In the receiving numbers, Caden Beldman's
25:08
Speaker 1: five catches for seventy five yards and a touchdown, Dawson
25:12
Speaker 1: Hines four catches for fifty eight yards, Boyce Robertson three
25:15
Speaker 1: catches for seventy one yards, all three of them go
25:17
Speaker 1: for touchdowns. Jackson Hewlett two catches for sixty nine yards
25:21
Speaker 1: why at camp House two for twenty three, and Trey
25:23
Speaker 1: Johnson two for twelve. Lynnon Christian looking really really sharp
25:27
Speaker 1: right now. They will be playing at Nooksack Valley this
25:31
Speaker 1: upcoming week in a great game on Thursday night. I
25:34
Speaker 1: believe it'll be on the radio, so you can't make
25:37
Speaker 1: it there, you can catch it on the radio. It's
25:39
Speaker 1: going to be an awesome, awesome game. Really excited for it,
25:43
Speaker 1: and it's basically to see who's the number two seed
25:46
Speaker 1: will be out of the Northwest Conference, and you know,
25:49
Speaker 1: I think all three seeds out of the Northwest Conference
25:51
Speaker 1: will be highly thought of going into Week ten to
25:55
Speaker 1: where they'll probably all host that playing game out of
25:58
Speaker 1: the out of the round of twenty four for the
26:01
Speaker 1: one A, I believe, you know, I can't see where
26:04
Speaker 1: any of them are going to be ranked under twelve,
26:07
Speaker 1: so which is a great thing, which means they all
26:09
Speaker 1: would have a a you know, great chance of getting
26:12
Speaker 1: into the state tournament. So, uh, that'll be really exciting.
26:16
Speaker 1: Meridian bounced out right now, but they're gonna you know,
26:19
Speaker 1: battle Blaine at home next week. That'll also be on Thursday,
26:23
Speaker 1: and that'll be for that that fourth spot. Of course
26:26
Speaker 1: that will not be going into the postseason. But I
26:30
Speaker 1: heard they were already looking at a Week ten game
26:32
Speaker 1: and trying to find an opponent and they struggled when
26:35
Speaker 1: when they try to find an opponent. What it was
26:37
Speaker 1: that in week four, I think when when Forks dropped out.
26:40
Speaker 1: So we'll see, I mean hopefully, you know, there's always
26:44
Speaker 1: teams around you know that are you know, I'd love
26:48
Speaker 1: to see them against Bellingham or Firndale or who knows.
26:52
Speaker 1: I mean Forndale has a good you know, if they win,
26:55
Speaker 1: then they won't be looking for a Week ten opponent.
26:57
Speaker 1: They will have one locked up and they're round to
26:59
Speaker 1: thirty two, and we'll get to that a little bit.
27:00
Speaker 1: But I would just love it if it was on
27:03
Speaker 1: some local flavor going on. So the willat see it's
27:09
Speaker 1: it's been an interesting year and these two teams battling
27:11
Speaker 1: it out. Lennon Christian picking up the win there forty
27:15
Speaker 1: eight to seven over the Trojans, and for our next
27:18
Speaker 1: game to check out, we will head out the Civic
27:20
Speaker 1: Stadium and we will talk to coach Jeff Wood and
27:23
Speaker 1: the coach's corner as he was out as Squalicum was
27:26
Speaker 1: playing their homecoming game hosting Seahome. As a couple of
27:29
Speaker 1: homecomings in a row at Civic Stadium that coach Wood
27:32
Speaker 1: has been out to, He's probably seen lots of floats
27:36
Speaker 1: and all those different things, and the long halftimes and everything,
27:39
Speaker 1: and and the weather was a little different out at
27:43
Speaker 1: this game, but a good matchup. They kind of got
27:47
Speaker 1: away from the storm late. Tell us about what you
27:49
Speaker 1: saw with Seaholmes forty two to twenty two win over Squalicum.
27:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, good game. The rain was a factor, I would
27:59
Speaker 2: say it more in the second half than the first half.
28:04
Speaker 2: And it wasn't windy. You know, Thursday it was super
28:06
Speaker 2: windy and even Friday morning, but not not really windy
28:12
Speaker 2: at all. Just the the rain really turned heavy towards
28:17
Speaker 2: the second half, so that you know that contributes a
28:20
Speaker 2: little bit. And you know, see Home to ConTroll early.
28:27
Speaker 2: They scored the first two touchdowns, running the ball almost
28:32
Speaker 2: every play, and you know they're they're up because Squaalkum
28:38
Speaker 2: didn't even get the ball on their second possession because
28:42
Speaker 2: Baine Mitchell hit a kickoff and I don't think it
28:44
Speaker 2: was even planned. They were doing hard squibs, yeah, and
28:48
Speaker 2: hits it basically right at the up back for squal
28:52
Speaker 2: Come and it goes off as you know, right off
28:54
Speaker 2: of him ricochet and so see him gets it and
28:57
Speaker 2: goes down and scores again. And so they're up to
29:01
Speaker 2: scores and squalkm uh their first possession looks good. You
29:06
Speaker 2: know they're balanced, they're they're running in passing and uh,
29:10
Speaker 2: you know Nick Lucy's got He's got a lot of
29:13
Speaker 2: misdirection and well designed offense, which is uh with Sea
29:19
Speaker 2: Home their defense is so fast, but they're sometimes a
29:23
Speaker 2: little over aggressive, and so that's the you know, the
29:26
Speaker 2: stuff with the misdirection, UH can work pretty well against that.
29:30
Speaker 2: So so they were Squalkum had a you know, a
29:34
Speaker 2: successful drive and they actually scored on a toss pass
29:38
Speaker 2: uh from the running back Avery Wiener, and then they
29:42
Speaker 2: got a two point conversion on kind of a fumbled
29:45
Speaker 2: snap and then uh, you know they ran it in.
29:48
Speaker 2: It was kind of a you know, jail break thing
29:51
Speaker 2: and uh. Anyway, so so that you know, at the time,
29:55
Speaker 2: you're thinking, Okay, this can prove that extra point, you know,
29:58
Speaker 2: if it's a close game down the down the line
30:02
Speaker 2: can prove to be a difference.
30:04
Speaker 1: Uh.
30:05
Speaker 2: And then see Home scored one more time going into
30:10
Speaker 2: to halftime, so they're they're up, I think twenty one
30:13
Speaker 2: to fifteen at halftime, and that the same play where
30:17
Speaker 2: they Squalcum scored the two point conversion. Nolan Righth got injured,
30:26
Speaker 2: you know, because it's kind of a scrum and everybody's
30:29
Speaker 2: running around. I don't know if it was even friendly
30:31
Speaker 2: fire or what happened, and you know, so he's laying
30:34
Speaker 2: on the ground for a good good few minutes. So
30:39
Speaker 2: everybody was was pretty worried about him. And he gets
30:42
Speaker 2: up and walks walks off on his own power, but
30:45
Speaker 2: you could definitely tell he was he was feeling something
30:48
Speaker 2: and I don't know if it was his back or
30:50
Speaker 2: hip or you know, something kind of right there causing
30:56
Speaker 2: causing some pain. So uh, anyway, so that was and
31:01
Speaker 2: there's a little bit more before halftime, but not too much.
31:05
Speaker 2: And then coming out in the second half, Seahome got
31:09
Speaker 2: a quick stop their defense and then the rest of
31:16
Speaker 2: the half, Nolan was in playing quarterback, walking gingerly, but
31:23
Speaker 2: he was in there. He was handing off every single
31:26
Speaker 2: play to Sawyer Woods and that was and it wasn't
31:32
Speaker 2: big chunks. I mean, there's a couple maybe over ten yards,
31:35
Speaker 2: but it was two yards, four yards, seven yards, and
31:39
Speaker 2: the next few drives they were just taking it down.
31:43
Speaker 2: In that third quarter scored I think three consecutive times
31:49
Speaker 2: and extended the lead, and it was it was what
31:54
Speaker 2: you don't think when you think of Sea Home. It
31:57
Speaker 2: really reminded me. I was telling somebody, Uh, look like
32:03
Speaker 2: Linden out there just handing off every play.
32:06
Speaker 1: You know, green and.
32:07
Speaker 2: Gold, similar colors. So anyway, so it was really a
32:10
Speaker 2: credit to uh Swayer and the offensive line tight ends,
32:15
Speaker 2: you know, because they have kind of a wing and
32:17
Speaker 2: a tight end, usually on opposite sides, and it's kind
32:20
Speaker 2: of a mix between some zone runs and then they're
32:24
Speaker 2: running that counter tray with the guard and tackle pulling,
32:31
Speaker 2: kind of the old Washington Redskins countertray. Yeah, and that
32:35
Speaker 2: was pretty successful. And yeah, you know Squalcombe was fighting
32:39
Speaker 2: hard and their defense was, you know, making it making
32:43
Speaker 2: it difficult to a point, but you know, just at
32:48
Speaker 2: the point of a taxi home was kind of leaning
32:51
Speaker 2: on them and getting it and getting it done.
32:54
Speaker 1: It's so crazy too, because when you're watching it, you know,
32:58
Speaker 1: and everybody in the stands must feeling the same thing,
33:00
Speaker 1: where they know what's coming next. They don't know which
33:03
Speaker 1: way it's gonna go, or if the liner is gonna
33:06
Speaker 1: pull or any of that stuff. But you know, Sawyer
33:09
Speaker 1: Woods is getting the ball. You number, you know, number
33:11
Speaker 1: nineteen is getting the ball. And it just happened over
33:13
Speaker 1: and over and over and over and they and they
33:16
Speaker 1: couldn't do much. They would be a few times when
33:18
Speaker 1: they could make a play, but in the long run,
33:20
Speaker 1: it was you're getting a first down eventually, you're moving
33:23
Speaker 1: the chains, you're scoring touchdowns. How I mean, it's crazy
33:28
Speaker 1: because the offensive linemen have just got to be feeling
33:30
Speaker 1: it after that, because when you know that you're running
33:34
Speaker 1: it every single play, the big guys love that. They
33:38
Speaker 1: absolutely love that. And I can't imagine just how you know,
33:43
Speaker 1: demoralizing it can be because you know it's coming, but
33:47
Speaker 1: it's just it's so hard to stop. I've seen I've
33:50
Speaker 1: seen Baker do that a little bit. I saw I
33:51
Speaker 1: remember watching them play run the same play nine times
33:54
Speaker 1: in a row against Lakewood and and it was a
33:56
Speaker 1: game that they won thirteen to seven. It was one
33:58
Speaker 1: of those where you're just running out the clock and
34:01
Speaker 1: they just run. They just ran thirty trapped nine times
34:05
Speaker 1: and they would eventually just get first downs every three
34:09
Speaker 1: plays or so, and and it was so fun to see.
34:12
Speaker 1: But Sawyer woods to carry the ball. I mean, it's impressive,
34:16
Speaker 1: three hundred and six yards a new school record. But
34:19
Speaker 1: I think what's even more impressive is forty two carries
34:21
Speaker 1: in one game. You know, how have you been like
34:27
Speaker 1: when you're coaching if you had kids that carry the ball.
34:30
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe not that many times, but when they
34:32
Speaker 1: get more and more carries that they just get better
34:34
Speaker 1: and better, and they they're kind of in the zone
34:37
Speaker 1: and you just want to keep feeding them.
34:39
Speaker 2: I mean, you remember back when the Tommy Funk days,
34:43
Speaker 2: he had some carry games and then some different different
34:46
Speaker 2: guys up at Ferndale, Cool Simou and Austin Honeycut. And
34:52
Speaker 2: you know at Ferndale you're spreading it out a little
34:54
Speaker 2: bit more because you have you know, you have two
34:56
Speaker 2: or three guys in the formation that can get carries.
35:01
Speaker 2: But yeah, you get that, like you said, the offensive
35:03
Speaker 2: line just gets in a rhythm. You know, they're going downhill. Uh,
35:08
Speaker 2: and the running back gets in a rhythm too, And
35:11
Speaker 2: I think I think that that was happening for sure
35:16
Speaker 2: on Friday night. So so that that was you know,
35:20
Speaker 2: that was the way that the game went. Squalicum obviously
35:25
Speaker 2: kept battling. They were able to get a get another
35:29
Speaker 2: score towards the end of the game. You know, seehomes
35:32
Speaker 2: defense kind of locked down a little bit better in
35:35
Speaker 2: the second half too, and especially I know I talked
35:39
Speaker 2: about in the article, Hudson Neff really just filling from
35:45
Speaker 2: his safety position, both on the run plays and and
35:50
Speaker 2: in the secondary. He really had a had a real
35:53
Speaker 2: big hit and caused a fumble slash interception. The ball
35:58
Speaker 2: popped up and Devin Bankston grabbed it and returned it aways.
36:04
Speaker 2: So you know, he is just you know, he's kind
36:08
Speaker 2: of the quarterback of the defense out there. He's been
36:10
Speaker 2: a three year starter and he can just sniff out
36:14
Speaker 2: a lot of those plays.
36:15
Speaker 1: You know.
36:16
Speaker 2: I remember one where pretty much all the Sea Home
36:19
Speaker 2: defenders were flowing and it was you know, kind of
36:22
Speaker 2: coming back the other way with the misdirection and he
36:25
Speaker 2: just had a beat on it and just you know,
36:28
Speaker 2: made a great tackle. He's really the only guy left
36:31
Speaker 2: and made a tackle for a pretty short game. So
36:33
Speaker 2: you know, like we've talked about the Sea Home heavy seniors,
36:38
Speaker 2: heavy talency class, and you know this was a you know,
36:42
Speaker 2: a good win for them. Obviously the pressure was on
36:44
Speaker 2: because they needed to win this one to kind of
36:48
Speaker 2: secure that playoff spot. You know, who knows. I don't
36:52
Speaker 2: know the status and Nolan for the next game and
36:56
Speaker 2: other things, but they have archbishops, so that'll be a
37:00
Speaker 2: that'll be a tough one down there, and squal come,
37:03
Speaker 2: you know, squal It comes for their youth. Just I mean,
37:06
Speaker 2: beating Anna chordis just a great win, and they're really
37:10
Speaker 2: developed a lot of guys throughout the season. So I think,
37:16
Speaker 2: you know, even though it's disappointing, obviously, you want to
37:19
Speaker 2: want to win that game. They they can end on
37:22
Speaker 2: a high note, you know, or you know, Bellingham obviously
37:26
Speaker 2: could end on a high note because they're playing each
37:27
Speaker 2: other this next week. So that's always another good rivalry
37:32
Speaker 2: with the city schools. So yeah, just another good one.
37:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, with the Storm, I really like their
37:41
Speaker 1: senior class. I really like the kids, you know, the mentorship,
37:46
Speaker 1: the you know, probably their best overall player, Bryson Vveren
37:50
Speaker 1: blows out his knee at the Jamborees, out for the year,
37:53
Speaker 1: but they come together, they rally around him, they play well.
37:57
Speaker 1: They had a good season, and you know, but when
38:01
Speaker 1: you look at the roster and you look at a
38:04
Speaker 1: bunch of sophomores that make differences out there, it really
38:08
Speaker 1: shows that coach Lucy's got something for the future as well.
38:11
Speaker 1: I think these seniors have led the way and have
38:13
Speaker 1: done a great job. I mean the Avery Wieners and
38:15
Speaker 1: Zach Watts and Cole Burke and Anson Osby Ornson and
38:20
Speaker 1: Joseph Boyd. I mean these guys are great players and
38:23
Speaker 1: they've been doing it a long time. But there's some
38:27
Speaker 1: great sophomores out there too, and so I really like
38:30
Speaker 1: how the transition is going to be made. I think
38:32
Speaker 1: the Squala COUM's going to improve going forward, and so
38:37
Speaker 1: they're going to be a threat as well. See home.
38:40
Speaker 1: You know, you're so right about Nolan Wright. I was
38:43
Speaker 1: kind of surprised that he played quarterback in the second half.
38:46
Speaker 1: Although it was you know, catching the shotgun snap and
38:49
Speaker 1: handing it off, but he was a statue. I mean
38:52
Speaker 1: it was handoff and stan still you could tell something
38:55
Speaker 1: was wrong. I was worried that maybe there would be
38:57
Speaker 1: a fumble or something would happen and then he could
39:00
Speaker 1: get blocked or something. But you know, we'll have to see.
39:04
Speaker 1: I mean, if he sits out next week, if he's
39:06
Speaker 1: not available, then jadd and Geiger goes in. Great athletes.
39:09
Speaker 1: Saw him on the baseball field do some good things.
39:13
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. Like you said, we're
39:15
Speaker 1: not quite sure about the stet, about the the status,
39:20
Speaker 1: but boy, uh, what a what a career he's had.
39:24
Speaker 1: He completed past number five hundred and fifty six, the
39:27
Speaker 1: only one in the game and he breaks another county record. Uh,
39:31
Speaker 1: not many know's not many knew that he was tied
39:34
Speaker 1: for the all time lead with Casey Baumann, who played
39:37
Speaker 1: at Nixack Valley and Montana State and had a little
39:40
Speaker 1: brief stint with the LA Chargers. And so really cool
39:45
Speaker 1: for Nolan Wright. He's got the one more to go
39:47
Speaker 1: there with the total passing yards. And but Sawyer Woods,
39:52
Speaker 1: my goodness, I can't say enough about him. He gave
39:56
Speaker 1: me the intro for the Gatorade game day preview going
39:59
Speaker 1: in the week eight and and uh, maybe maybe that
40:03
Speaker 1: was some some fuel for the fire. I know that
40:05
Speaker 1: I got. I heard about it from the from his
40:08
Speaker 1: teammates when he was not named Offensive Player of the week,
40:11
Speaker 1: and looking at it, I think it's uh, we'll be
40:13
Speaker 1: announcing it later on in this podcast. But he's looking
40:17
Speaker 1: pretty good for this week. What a great performance by
40:19
Speaker 1: him the offensive line. Uh to see home Mariners as
40:22
Speaker 1: a whole as they eye the postseason. Thank you so much,
40:26
Speaker 1: coach for joining me on the Gatorade or on the
40:28
Speaker 1: Gatorade on the coaches corner. Too many sponsors, that's never
40:32
Speaker 1: a problem. Uh. And I'll hopefully talk to you next week.
40:37
Speaker 2: All right, Tyler, I do have to chime in a
40:40
Speaker 2: little bit onase you know what you're doing with the
40:44
Speaker 2: coaches interviews, and I think that's going great. I know
40:48
Speaker 2: everybody loves hearing those, and especially the questions at the beginning.
40:53
Speaker 2: Those are so informative with you know, the different favorite
40:57
Speaker 2: players and all those other things and how he got
41:00
Speaker 2: into coaching. And I was thinking about that with myself.
41:04
Speaker 2: And yeah, when I was in high school as a
41:08
Speaker 2: backup quarterback with the program I went to in uh Montana,
41:14
Speaker 2: and we had this offensive coordinator, young guy just been
41:18
Speaker 2: played quarterback University of Montana. His name is Grady Bennett.
41:21
Speaker 2: Now he's the head coach of the second high school
41:24
Speaker 2: in Kellispol called Glacier High School. And anyway, they're in
41:27
Speaker 2: the playoffs right now, and.
41:29
Speaker 1: Uh, great guy.
41:30
Speaker 2: And he was young early in his coaching career as
41:34
Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator, so I worked with him a lot
41:36
Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach, and so I'm down on the field, I'm
41:41
Speaker 2: kind of the dummy Sigler signaler or sometimes hot right.
41:45
Speaker 2: How you know a lot of guys do that kind
41:48
Speaker 2: of like.
41:48
Speaker 1: Uh Turp does LC.
41:51
Speaker 2: Anyway, so we're playing a team and it's you know, uh,
41:56
Speaker 2: we're driving down. I remember we're about at midfield and
42:00
Speaker 2: we're signaling in and it's like a third and five
42:03
Speaker 2: or something, and he's like, what do you think here?
42:08
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, you know, I was surprised.
42:12
Speaker 2: He's like asking me what I think? And right, you know,
42:15
Speaker 2: we were playing a team that was kind of bottling
42:17
Speaker 2: up the inside run, and so we had this We
42:20
Speaker 2: did call it jet sweep, but it was a jet
42:22
Speaker 2: sweep type play, and I was like, I think this coach,
42:24
Speaker 2: and he's like, all right, then call it, and so
42:27
Speaker 2: I called it and we got the first down. And
42:31
Speaker 2: so I think that was like one of those moments
42:33
Speaker 2: where you're like, yeah, I think I could.
42:36
Speaker 1: I could do this for a while.
42:39
Speaker 2: And he was obviously an influential coach like many your
42:43
Speaker 2: other coaches talked about. So I think that was that
42:46
Speaker 2: was a great question and got me thinking on that too.
42:50
Speaker 2: So yeah, keep going with those questions and those those previews.
42:54
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty cool.
42:56
Speaker 1: Oh, I appreciate it, coach, Thank you, thank you very much.
42:58
Speaker 1: It's fun getting them all the it's it's uh now
43:02
Speaker 1: I think I've kind of lassoed them in a little
43:04
Speaker 1: bit to where I think it's three or four weeks
43:06
Speaker 1: in a row now where I've had all eleven of
43:08
Speaker 1: them on, which is nice. They all kind of settle
43:11
Speaker 1: into their time slot that they can join me, and
43:14
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's really fun to do. And uh so
43:17
Speaker 1: now I have to ask you your favorite football movie.
43:22
Speaker 2: The favorite football movie. Probably I'm gonna go with The
43:27
Speaker 2: Football Book. Actually, I'm gonna go Friday Night Lights. I
43:30
Speaker 2: read that also kind of about the same time junior
43:34
Speaker 2: high early high school, and uh, you know, I like
43:37
Speaker 2: the movie, but again, like with anything, the book's always better.
43:40
Speaker 2: So yeah, uh have to go with that.
43:44
Speaker 1: That's a great call. I did read that in high
43:46
Speaker 1: school as well, and I was a little disappointed when
43:50
Speaker 1: the movie came out. And then uh and then when
43:53
Speaker 1: the TV show came out, I was introduced to it
43:55
Speaker 1: only like three years ago, and uh, but it's you know,
43:59
Speaker 1: it was total I was nothing like the book, but
44:03
Speaker 1: but it had its moments as well. But uh, yeah,
44:05
Speaker 1: there's something about talking to these these coaches. They're all
44:09
Speaker 1: kind of wired the same way and and it makes
44:12
Speaker 1: for makes for good conversation. So I appreciate it. Coach,
44:16
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. And I'll talk to you next week.
44:18
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks Tyler.
44:20
Speaker 1: Thank you very much to coach. Would always love talking
44:23
Speaker 1: to him and getting his inside on the the game
44:26
Speaker 1: that he was at, and that sounds like it was
44:28
Speaker 1: a crazy one. Always fun out there at Civic Stadium
44:31
Speaker 1: when the city schools get together and you know, there's
44:34
Speaker 1: a lot of emotion on the field and it's it's
44:36
Speaker 1: easy to understand why let's head down I five a
44:39
Speaker 1: little bit and go to Marysville where the Marysville pil
44:45
Speaker 1: Chuck Tomahawks. They just uh, it was a lot of
44:49
Speaker 1: rain down there. Bellingham is able to squeak out a
44:52
Speaker 1: seven to zero win. This was This was unique because
44:55
Speaker 1: I was getting the NFES feed was not working, probably
45:00
Speaker 1: because the weather was so bad, and so I was
45:02
Speaker 1: getting texts from Noah O'Malley and he was kind of
45:07
Speaker 1: letting me know and I was like, hey, can you
45:08
Speaker 1: give me updates on scores? He said absolutely, it's seven
45:11
Speaker 1: zero right now into the first I said great, and
45:14
Speaker 1: I wasn't getting any more tests and I was like,
45:17
Speaker 1: is it still seven zero yep? And he just CA's yep, yep.
45:20
Speaker 1: And then he would say, okay, it's into the half
45:22
Speaker 1: seven zero into the third seven zero, He's like, I
45:24
Speaker 1: think they're just running the ball out now, and I
45:26
Speaker 1: said final, I said, yep, seven zero. So when then
45:29
Speaker 1: I watched the game, knowing what the score is, I
45:30
Speaker 1: was really intrigued to see kind of what was going on.
45:33
Speaker 1: I expected the weather to be a mess. It was,
45:37
Speaker 1: you know, I heard that the walkway like from the
45:39
Speaker 1: locker room to the field was a pretty long walkway
45:43
Speaker 1: with like a foot of standing water. I mean, it
45:46
Speaker 1: was just it was just probably the worst. I mean,
45:50
Speaker 1: every game had rain in it, but when you look
45:51
Speaker 1: at the film, and this one did look the worst.
45:54
Speaker 1: You talk about an atmospheric river. This was the case.
45:58
Speaker 1: Bellingham able to get that touchdown though, somehow, some way,
46:01
Speaker 1: Ben Leonard with a deep pass down the left sideline
46:03
Speaker 1: to Joe Harward and the ball kind of split both
46:06
Speaker 1: defenders and he caught it kind of sitting down, turning
46:09
Speaker 1: and sitting and lands in the end zone. And that
46:12
Speaker 1: was the lone touchdown. Not a ton of yards on
46:15
Speaker 1: either side, Bellingham putting up one hundred and fifty one yards,
46:20
Speaker 1: holding Marysville Pilchuck to just twenty three yards total. Bellingham
46:25
Speaker 1: controlling the clock a little bit, probably trying to get
46:27
Speaker 1: out of there. They were ever to run forty five
46:29
Speaker 1: plays to Marysville Pilchuck's thirty seven. You know, it was
46:34
Speaker 1: it was a quick game, get the win, get out Sunny.
46:38
Speaker 1: Powell leading the way on the ground nine carries for
46:40
Speaker 1: forty one yards, Owen Hanssett thirteen carries for thirty seven yards.
46:45
Speaker 1: Ben Leonard through the air was ten of seventeen for
46:48
Speaker 1: eighty four yards. Joe Harward six catches for forty five yards,
46:51
Speaker 1: Zach Gersel two catches for twenty seven yards, Owen Hanson
46:55
Speaker 1: had two catches for twelve yards. Yeah, I mean it was,
47:00
Speaker 1: it was. It was a conference win, and it was
47:01
Speaker 1: Bellingham's fourth win of the year. And I think that
47:04
Speaker 1: you know, you're doubling up already your win total from
47:06
Speaker 1: last year. I think things are improving for the for
47:09
Speaker 1: the BayHawks. You take advantage of the Marysville Pilchuck team
47:13
Speaker 1: right now that's down uh and the weather you know,
47:17
Speaker 1: really limited both teams kind of neutralized the game. But
47:21
Speaker 1: Bellingham's still getting the win, which is a big big
47:23
Speaker 1: deal for them. And and like I said, a conference win,
47:27
Speaker 1: So that's that's really really good on the defensive side
47:29
Speaker 1: of the ball. I thought Josh Kroll had an awesome
47:31
Speaker 1: year or an awesome game while he's having an awesome
47:34
Speaker 1: year as well. But Ford and af tackles, two tackles
47:37
Speaker 1: for loss. Yeah, there was there was just some some
47:41
Speaker 1: good things. I thought. Danny Fleffel at the defensive end
47:44
Speaker 1: spot looked good. A couple of quarterback sacks. He also
47:46
Speaker 1: knocked down a pass that was really really good to see.
47:50
Speaker 1: I thought Matthew Steele had a really good game, broke
47:52
Speaker 1: breaking up a couple of passes there. Owen Hanstt had
47:55
Speaker 1: another interception that was late in the game. Joe Harward
47:58
Speaker 1: tips the pass the inn. That's his twelfth of his career,
48:02
Speaker 1: which no other active player can say that. I think
48:04
Speaker 1: the next one and for active players is anton osby Ornsen.
48:09
Speaker 1: He's got nine for Squalkum and those two guys will
48:12
Speaker 1: be meeting up against each other this upcoming week, which
48:14
Speaker 1: will be great. Calvin van Hofwegen another good game, three
48:17
Speaker 1: and a half tackles, a tackle for loss and a
48:19
Speaker 1: pass broken up. But yeah, it was just you know,
48:23
Speaker 1: like I said, just get the job done, get out
48:25
Speaker 1: of there, and that's exactly what they did Belling and
48:28
Speaker 1: picks up the win seven to zero, and good for them.
48:32
Speaker 1: You know, gonna be hosting Squalkum at Civic Stadium on Thursday,
48:38
Speaker 1: which is such a unique situation. It's pretty cool though.
48:41
Speaker 1: It's a Thursday night game at seven thirty, and that's
48:44
Speaker 1: because earlier at four thirty, the same two schools soccer
48:50
Speaker 1: teams will be battling in district soccer. So go out.
48:53
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a fan of squalkhum or Bellingham,
48:56
Speaker 1: just head out there at four thirty and stick around
48:58
Speaker 1: for a while, watch this soccer game, get some dinner
49:01
Speaker 1: from probably from the Lions Club right right there at
49:04
Speaker 1: the stadium, and then or order of pizza, have them
49:06
Speaker 1: deliver it there and then boom, you got football right
49:08
Speaker 1: after that. I mean, I mean, hopefully they don't like,
49:11
Speaker 1: you know, usher everybody out and then make everybody pay again,
49:14
Speaker 1: who knows what they're gonna do, But I just think
49:17
Speaker 1: it'd be a fun night out at you know, Thursday
49:19
Speaker 1: night out at Civic Stadium. You're supporting so many athletes
49:23
Speaker 1: that way, two teams from Bellingham. I think it's going
49:25
Speaker 1: to be a tremendous atmosphere and it'll be a really
49:29
Speaker 1: really good one to see. And let's finish up here
49:33
Speaker 1: with the game Ferndale at Sie Drow Wooly. And you know,
49:36
Speaker 1: you kind of knew going into this that you know,
49:38
Speaker 1: Sie Drow has been having a great, great year. They're
49:40
Speaker 1: so efficient, they're very fast, very strong, undefeated on the season,
49:45
Speaker 1: and Ferndale is just a very young team this year.
49:47
Speaker 1: But they but they don't quit. I mean, Ferndale, Ferndale
49:51
Speaker 1: has been a fun team to watch because of the
49:53
Speaker 1: effort that's given and I think that's all you can
49:55
Speaker 1: ask of high school kids. And they just you know,
49:59
Speaker 1: they just I don't have a ton of varsity experience
50:01
Speaker 1: right now, and they are a very very young team,
50:04
Speaker 1: and you know Si Droe took advantage of that at
50:08
Speaker 1: times scored. You know, got a couple of big plays
50:11
Speaker 1: early had like a sixty yard run and that was
50:14
Speaker 1: followed up by a short touchdown run and then right
50:16
Speaker 1: away right after that sixty one yard touchdown pass, So
50:18
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, oh boy, this might be
50:20
Speaker 1: a long night. Then Ferndale makes something happen there they
50:25
Speaker 1: you know, ciedeaw Wolli had like a screen pass going
50:27
Speaker 1: Brandon Arps or Brandon Arps tips it. It goes into
50:31
Speaker 1: the hands of Jaden Johnson prou At the defensive end,
50:34
Speaker 1: who returns at sixteen yards gets some good into Ferndale
50:37
Speaker 1: or Sidrow territory, and that really tipped the scales a
50:41
Speaker 1: little bit. They were able to score Elliot Lenson on
50:43
Speaker 1: a four yard touchdown run Park and McManus with the
50:46
Speaker 1: extra point, and it's a fourteen to seven game early
50:48
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, and it's like, okay, things are
50:51
Speaker 1: going pretty good. But ceddeow Woollie just kind of leaned
50:53
Speaker 1: on him and made the plays when it was needed.
50:57
Speaker 1: And you know, they ran for I mean, was so balanced,
51:01
Speaker 1: two hundred and four yards rushing, one hundred and ninety
51:03
Speaker 1: nine yards receiving, and they ran sixty one plays to
51:08
Speaker 1: Ferndale's forty eight. So there was ball control, it was
51:11
Speaker 1: doing the right things through the air, it was scoring
51:13
Speaker 1: touchdowns and playing good defense. And it's it's hard to
51:16
Speaker 1: just pinpoint, you know why c Jo Woolley is so dominant,
51:20
Speaker 1: especially this year, but they just do everything so extremely well.
51:25
Speaker 1: It's like there's not like an A plus anywhere, but
51:27
Speaker 1: they're loaded with A minuses in every aspect and that's
51:31
Speaker 1: that that bold bodes well for a deep playoff run.
51:35
Speaker 1: And right now the Cubs are undefeated, Ferndale they still
51:38
Speaker 1: have a chance. So they finished fourth in the West
51:41
Speaker 1: Coast three A North, so they will cross over and
51:44
Speaker 1: play the fourth team out of the West Coast three
51:48
Speaker 1: A South. Now, if you're listening to this on Tuesday,
51:51
Speaker 1: which is this is when it comes out Tuesday morning,
51:54
Speaker 1: later tonight, there will be a battle still like a
51:56
Speaker 1: Kansas tiebreaker for that spot. So right now Ferndale does
51:59
Speaker 1: not know they're gonna play. They will find out later
52:02
Speaker 1: tonight and then they will uh you know, get ready
52:05
Speaker 1: for that and play. They will host on Saturday night,
52:09
Speaker 1: So if they win that game, they will be in
52:12
Speaker 1: the round of thirty two. If they don't win that game,
52:15
Speaker 1: the game they're gonna be hosting on Saturday, then they
52:17
Speaker 1: will probably be looking for a Week ten opponent. And
52:19
Speaker 1: that's when I look at, you know, other teams and
52:21
Speaker 1: go ooh, you could play squaalk them, or you could
52:23
Speaker 1: play you know, uh, Meridian or you know that's that
52:29
Speaker 1: that's what a repelling a like that. Those that's when
52:31
Speaker 1: I look at those teams and go, man, the Week
52:32
Speaker 1: ten you know, it gets me excited because it's too
52:35
Speaker 1: bad that they're you know, they're not going to reach
52:37
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But that's when that happens. But Ferndale still
52:40
Speaker 1: does have a chance to reach the playoffs. Like I said,
52:42
Speaker 1: they have to win Saturday night at home and they
52:44
Speaker 1: will be in the round of thirty two, and we'll
52:46
Speaker 1: see what kind of spot they get they might have
52:48
Speaker 1: to go. They'll probably have to go on the road
52:50
Speaker 1: and face a pretty darn good team. But you know,
52:54
Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way it goes. And and
52:56
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are underclassmen, so they'll get
52:58
Speaker 1: their chance again next year. But uh, Ferndale, Ferndale played
53:02
Speaker 1: played tough. Uh. Defensive wise, John Stannick from his inside
53:06
Speaker 1: linebacker spot eight and a half tackles, a tackle for loss.
53:08
Speaker 1: I thought he looked pretty good. Uh brock Huick. I
53:11
Speaker 1: don't think I'm saying the last name rynd right hoyke Huk.
53:15
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. He really impressed me as a
53:17
Speaker 1: corner five and a half tackles, two passes broken up. Uh.
53:21
Speaker 1: He's an underclassman as well, so I really like his
53:23
Speaker 1: his size and his ability. Uh. And I think he
53:27
Speaker 1: could be a pretty good player down the road. I
53:29
Speaker 1: talked about Jaden Johnson Pruitt who had that he had
53:33
Speaker 1: a tackle for loss where he forced a fumble. He
53:35
Speaker 1: also had that interception. Elliott Lenson had seven tackles. Chance
53:40
Speaker 1: Hatchet had four tackles and a tackle for loss from
53:43
Speaker 1: his linebacker spot. So some pretty good, some pretty good
53:47
Speaker 1: things there. Yeah, I mean it was it's it's been
53:52
Speaker 1: an interesting season for Ferndale. They're three and five. They're
53:54
Speaker 1: just not used to that. And uh but you know,
53:58
Speaker 1: you got a chance to to get a win on
54:01
Speaker 1: Saturday and keep your postseason hopes alive. So we'll be
54:04
Speaker 1: rooting for the Golden Eagles there and uh yeah, those
54:08
Speaker 1: are the games that we're covering. It's going to take
54:11
Speaker 1: a look at the players of the week. We're gonna
54:13
Speaker 1: start off with the Offensive Player of the Week, which
54:15

54:34
Speaker 1: Is Sawyer Woods at a Sea home forty two carries
54:37
Speaker 1: for three hundred and six yards and three touchdowns. You know,
54:41
Speaker 1: the three hundred and six yards is a school record,
54:44
Speaker 1: really really impressive there. You got it by just just
54:47
Speaker 1: a couple of yards. Very very good. But what's I
54:50
Speaker 1: think even more impressive is the forty two carries. You
54:54
Speaker 1: just don't see that number too often. Very very impressive
54:57
Speaker 1: Sawyer Woods. He is your Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player of
55:02
Speaker 1: the Week. It's a tremendous game by him and his
55:04
Speaker 1: offensive line, like Coach Wood was saying, just carrying the
55:08
Speaker 1: ball over and over again. It was quite a joy
55:10
Speaker 1: to see. And we're just go to defense now. The
55:12
Speaker 1: Max Hare Studio Defensive Player of the Week Max Hair.
55:15
Speaker 1: Of course, you can check out Max Hair Studio at
55:17
Speaker 1: the Bellas Fair Mall. You can check call give McCall
55:20
Speaker 1: three six zero six seven to one one six two
55:23
Speaker 1: seven And I'm giving this one to Jackson Hester of
55:27
Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley. I just thought that going up against that
55:30
Speaker 1: team doing what he did. He was all over the field,
55:33
Speaker 1: ten tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback sack and
55:36
Speaker 1: a pass broken up. The senior inside linebacker Jackson Hester.
55:40
Speaker 1: You know, he's won Special Teams Player of the Week
55:42
Speaker 1: already and now he's winning the Defensive Player of the week.
55:45
Speaker 1: He's every year. Every year, there's that guy that I've
55:48
Speaker 1: heard of but I haven't seen play very much that
55:51
Speaker 1: just jumps out and has this monster season. And he's
55:53
Speaker 1: that guy right now. He is He is really doing
55:56
Speaker 1: it all. He's doing on the offensive side of the
55:59
Speaker 1: ball too, but this week, for his defensive efforts, he
56:02
Speaker 1: is your max Ara Studio Defensive Player of the Week.
56:06
Speaker 1: Let's go Special Teams. Pets real Estate. Pets real Estate
56:10
Speaker 1: is your preferred real estate agency in Wakam County and
56:13
Speaker 1: you can check him out online at Pets real Estate
56:15
Speaker 1: dot com. That's pe t z real Estate dot com.
56:20
Speaker 1: And there was a there. This was not the easy
56:22
Speaker 1: elements to kick in and NOx Smith of Mount Baker
56:25
Speaker 1: he was seven of seven on his extra points and
56:29
Speaker 1: I thought he had a good game. But I'm giving
56:31
Speaker 1: this one to Lyndon sophomore Marcus Kanaan who went six
56:35
Speaker 1: for six on his extra points. But he also kicked
56:37
Speaker 1: five touchbacks, and we all know in high school football
56:41
Speaker 1: how impressive that is to kick a touch back. You
56:44
Speaker 1: see a lot of kickers with pooch kicks and a
56:46
Speaker 1: lot of different things, and most coaches will tell you that,
56:50
Speaker 1: you know, if it goes out of bounds, they don't
56:52
Speaker 1: really care. They get the ball at the thirty five
56:54
Speaker 1: because the average start on kickoffs in high school is
56:57
Speaker 1: about the thirty five, so it's not really a big deal.
56:59
Speaker 1: It's not really a big loss. But that's because they
57:02
Speaker 1: usually don't have a guy that can kick it through
57:03
Speaker 1: the end zone every time. And that's what Marcus Kanan
57:06
Speaker 1: did out of London up or down in Lakewood again
57:09
Speaker 1: six for six on extra points before giving way to
57:11
Speaker 1: the third string kicker. He was also hitting five touchbacks,
57:15
Speaker 1: very very impressive. So Marcus Kanan, the sophomore from Linden
57:19
Speaker 1: is your Pet's Real Estate Special Teams Player of the
57:21
Speaker 1: Week and then finally the offensive lineman, the big guys.
57:25
Speaker 1: Their award is brought to you by Anytime Fitness. You
57:29
Speaker 1: can check out Anytime Fitness in Linden, Linden North or Ferndale.
57:32
Speaker 1: They also sponsor the Friday night scoreboards, which always get
57:37
Speaker 1: a huge bunch of views. They all through social media,
57:40
Speaker 1: everyone waiting for that scoreboard and talking trash and all
57:43
Speaker 1: that jazz, which I do not condone, you know, be respectful,
57:48
Speaker 1: come on, guys. But Anytime Fitness has been a tremendous sponsor,
57:54
Speaker 1: you know, over the years, they will probably lock in
57:56
Speaker 1: on the top one hundred list that's going to be
57:59
Speaker 1: coming out, you know, and that top it on our list.
58:02
Speaker 1: I tell you what, I get so much pressure on
58:04
Speaker 1: that thing that sometimes I feel like, you know what,
58:06
Speaker 1: it's not worth it to do. But I know the
58:09
Speaker 1: kids get excited about it, and so that that will
58:13
Speaker 1: likely happen again this year. And the Anytime Fitness Offensive
58:16
Speaker 1: Lineman of the Week is Nucksack Valley senior right tackle
58:20
Speaker 1: Gabriel Snyder's. Uh my goodness. You know, there's been injuries,
58:25
Speaker 1: there's been all sorts of different things, and for Knucksack
58:28
Speaker 1: Valley and and going up against that Monosano line, especially
58:33
Speaker 1: from that right that right tackle spot that you know,
58:35
Speaker 1: the offensive tackle spot at at Knuksack, you're asked to
58:38
Speaker 1: do a lot of things. There's a lot of kickout blocks,
58:40
Speaker 1: but then you're run you know, on screen passes, you're
58:42
Speaker 1: getting out there in space and making blocks. And then
58:45
Speaker 1: he made a good block on that final touchdown run
58:48
Speaker 1: by Trey Trey Houghtink. So I'm giving this one to
