• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome into the Whatcom Preps podcast. This is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: episode 443. It's the week two fall sports recap, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I am Tyler Anderson of Whatcom Preps. Again, this podcast
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is dedicated to all the fall sports being played except football,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: as that podcast will come out later in the week.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to Walton beverage.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Who's been a staple in our community for 95 years.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And I will continue to work harder every day to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: make the fantastic people at Walton beverage proud to sponsor
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: youth sports in our community. They deliver superior quality and commitment.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And I plan to do the very same. Let's start
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it off with some cross country. We didn't get to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: talk about cross country last week as this week was
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the first week that it's happened, but it, it didn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: happen in the usual sense of a, of a league
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: meet or anything, anything like that. They had the big
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: gear up Northwest meet at civic stadium on Saturday. It
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: was an all day thing on Saturday, 43 schools involved. Boy,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, there's so many things that are
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: going through my head when I showed up to this,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: because every time I go to an event where it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the first one of the year for me to go
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to of that sport, if that makes sense, I get, I'm,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm a little extra excited. It's my first time seeing
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the new athletes and seeing the ones that are returning
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and what to expect and all that stuff. And boy,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a couple of things stand out. So I knew I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was going to be showing up in kind of early
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: afternoon where I, what I would see like the, the, the,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the bigger races, right. Cause it's the JV races to begin.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And as it goes on freshmen, sophomore, junior seniors, and, um,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly what time I showed up. It
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was early afternoon and a lot of school buses. Like
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I said, 43 different schools involved here. So that's amazing.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And there were thousands of people. I mean, it was
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: tense everywhere. I mean, like the school, you know, the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: little canopies and just, it was an amazing event. Amazing.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It says that Seaholm does it right with this and,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and such an awesome thing. Every race was two miles long.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you another thing that stood out, boy,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: going to a cross country meet with that many schools
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and that many people, I am by far the least
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: out of shape person there. You know, all these athletes
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: obviously are in great shape and their parents are probably
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in great shape and cross country fans are in great shape. And,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you know, people ask me all the time from, you know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: from different areas, why is this area such a hotbed
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: for cross country? Like, why does Sehome and Bellingham and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Squalicum and Meridian and, you know, why do all these
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: schools do so well year in and year out? And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I have a few ideas and, you know, maybe people
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think part
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of it has to do with it being a college town.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And there's so many great trails around. So, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: people come here to go to college and, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: what are you going to do, you know, to in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: your spare time? Well, they're going to, they're young, they're
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: college kids. They're going to find a trail and they're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: going to run it and they get hooked on it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And it's a great area. And they meet like-minded people
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that are also into running and then they get married
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and have kids and those become great runners. There you go.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why there's so many great
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: runners up here. So that's my reasoning. Like I said,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but man, so many great
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: athletes and walking down. He did pretty well. And there
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: were some big schools there. There, you know, there's some
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: big three, a four, a schools as well. So for the,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: so we're going to start off with the girls runners.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And then in the freshman race, Lane Dixon of Meridian
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: took fourth place out of all the freshmen, Morgan McGonigal
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of Seaholm took seventh and Mia cook of Seaholm took
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: ninth in the sophomore girls. Anya Cannizzaro of Sehome took fifth.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Bria Remp of Meridian took sixth. And Paige Ricks of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Sehome took seventh. In the junior girls, no surprise here,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Kirsten Ludeman of Sehome was your champion. It actually went 1-2-3,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: which is amazing. This junior class is loaded. So Kirsten Ludeman,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: with a time of 11 minutes, 15.16 seconds in the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: two-mile race, took first place. Wren Dixon... formerly of Linden,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: but ran for Meridian. Her time was 11 minutes, 20.74 seconds.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And Sloan Clines of Sehome, 11 minutes, 22.67. So they
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: finished one, two, three in the juniors. And then in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the seniors, it was another top billing for Sehome as
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Lil Desler took the top, had the best time, First place.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Second place was Samantha Nipp of Sehome. And in eighth
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: place was Audrey Blue of Squalicum. So a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Whatcom County runners there. Looks like three in each race
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that were placed in the top ten in their respective
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: class race. So very, very good job by the girls.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: On the boys' side, a lot of great runners again
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: as well for the freshmen. Benjamin Havens of Sehome took fifth.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And Braxton Stacey of Linden took sixth. For the sophomores,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: five of the top 10 were from Whatcom County. How
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: about that? Judah Taveldi of Meridian was the winner. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: was there for that. I got some good pictures of him.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: At least I hope I did. And he was way
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: out in front. And I had heard something about, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: think he got injured during track season last year. So
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: if that's true, he looked 100% healed. He looked like
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: he's got some... He's got state championship aspirations on his
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: mind this year. So great to see him out there
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and doing well. In fifth place was Eric Dennis of Bellingham.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Sixth was Abel Ray of Bellingham. Ninth was Parker Osk
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of Bellingham. And 10th was Tobias Losich of Bellingham. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: hope I'm saying that right. So that's four Bellingham sophomores
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in the top 10 there with all these schools. So
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it looks like the Bayhawks have a good, future ahead
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of them for cross-country, which is no surprise, of course.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: They've always been one of the top schools. For the juniors,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Colton Valentine of Meridian took fourth place, Jack Stoddard of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Bellingham took seventh, and Luke Scouten of Linden took ninth,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: all with tremendous times, you know, under 10-15. Really, really
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: good times there. And then with the seniors, putting in
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the best number of the night, or of the day,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I should say, for the boys was Judson Barrett of Sehome.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: He took fifth place in In the two-mile race of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: 9 minutes, 50.33 seconds, Baines Machinsky of Bellingham took seventh
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: place in just over 10 minutes. So, yeah, a lot
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of great runners there doing their thing. I won't be
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: handing out the Stauffer Insurance Runner of the Week just
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: because it's, you know, it was not a full league
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: meet week just yet. So that will start next week. And,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of course, Stauffer Insurance, give them a call, 360-746-8803. Go
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: visit them in person at 1903 Front Street in Linden
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: or online at staufferinsurance.com. They are happy to help. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: back by popular demand starting next week, the Stauffer Insurance
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Runner of the Week. So be ready to tune in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: for that. It's always going to be a lot of fun.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to shift gears and go to boys tennis.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Kurt Mayberry Farms, a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: family growing tradition, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. They're a fourth
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: generation family owned and operated berry farm committed to growing
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the highest quality berries. Check them out at KurtMayberryFarm.com. That's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Kurt with a C, M-A-B-E-R-R-Y farm.com. And now the information
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm getting for tennis is, is changed a little bit
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: than it has been in years past. I'm not quite
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sure why it changed. I wouldn't fix anything that was broken,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but now it's changed and I'm not getting, you know,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I'm getting information, but I'm not being told if it's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: correct information or not. And then things get changed. So
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I've been hesitant to post things for a while. I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: think there's still kind of ironing out all the details
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of how it goes, but I believe that I have
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: league win loss records and stuff like that. So yeah,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: In league, there's still a handful of teams that are undefeated.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon 3-0, Squalicum 1-0, Bellingham and Burlington Edison both 2-0,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Sehome 1-0. And then Linden and Ferndale are both 1-1.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And the other teams that are non-Wacom County teams still
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: looking for their first league wins. And overall, there are
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon, Squalicum, and Bellingham still undefeated on the season.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Squalicum has only lost one quarter. I believe that's true.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: One court all year so far. So that's pretty impressive.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: 20 wins to just one court being lost. So again,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: as far as details of what happened during the week,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the information I'm getting is, I don't know if it's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: 100% true, so I don't want to put anything out
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: there that might be incorrect. But as far as I know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I believe those win-loss records are right. And once we
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: get things kind of back on track of tracking all
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the tennis stuff, Hopefully, we can go back to how
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it used to be and we'll be able to report
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: on that in a timely manner. But with that, we're
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: going to head on to girls swimming. and diving again.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: We didn't get to talk about girls swimming and diving
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: last week as they just started this past week. And
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I was out at Arnie Hanna Aquatic Center to see
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Sehome versus Linden. And it was awesome. I mean, there's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: so many kids participating. And what's great is There's so
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: many of them that are on the other side of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the pool and cheering on their teammates. You just love
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: seeing that. It's always fun going out to Arnie Hanna
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Aquatic Center. I have so many great memories out there.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Every time I go, it just seems smaller and smaller.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's because there's a lot of people there participating.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's because when I was a kid, it just
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: seemed so big. We're going to look at who's got
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the top times and for all the different events so far.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna start off with a 200 medley relay.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And right now the top time just barely is the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: squalicum team with a time of two minutes, 12.29 seconds.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And that's Soleil Rubido, Sammy Fury, Jazzy Nelson, and Ellie Hanslick.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: So right now they hold the top time and they
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: are about 10 seconds away from qualifying for state with
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that time. So very early on in the season, definitely, um,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know, they definitely have the ability to get to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that time. So, uh, and again, swimming is one of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: those sports where it's a lot like track and field
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: where you see times just get better and better as
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the season goes on. Um, and you might see just
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: one incredible performance early on in the year and that
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just never gets bested, but it's, that's a little more rare.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Usually you see the times get better and better as
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the year goes on and the 200 freestyle, uh, It's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Seaholm's Elsa Ethelbaugh with a time of 2 minutes, 13.07 seconds.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: That is good enough to qualify for district, really close
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to state already. Her time is 17 seconds faster than
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the next time. So she's way out in front of that. Really,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: really good swimmer. We've been talking about her for years.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: In the 200 individual medley, it's Seaholm's Raha Gare with
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a time of 2 minutes, 44.18 seconds. This is a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: demanding swimmer. I always like that they do it early
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on because it's fun to watch and to see someone
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: have to do all four of the disciplines while swimming.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And really, really fun to see the athletes that come
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: up here. And with her time, she's already qualified for district,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and she's about 22 seconds away from qualifying for state.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: So that's still a little ways away, but I'm pretty
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: sure she will be at state. That's just the kind
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of athlete that she is. in the 50 freestyle, Jasmine
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Garcia of Bellingham holds the top time at 27.28 seconds.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And then we go to diving. And again, it's Effie
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Taminga of Sehome with a, with a score of 134.15. And, uh,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know, she was great last year as, as Fiona Runnels,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: her teammate and her, her best score is 126.75. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they're pushing each other right now and no surprises there. Um,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And so that's always fun. I love watching the diving.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It is unbelievable to see it up close and just
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: what they can do. I've said it before in previous
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: years on the podcast that when I would go swimming
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: at the Arnie Hanna Aquatic Center as a youngster, that's
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: what I loved doing. I loved diving. I could do
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it over and over and over and over and over again.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: It was just so much fun. So it's always one
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of my favorite things to check out. back into the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: pool at the 100 butterfly jazzy nelson of squalicum holds
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: a top time at one minute 9.42 seconds way out
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: ahead of anybody else he's about 12 seconds ahead of
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the next time so she's holding a strong lead there
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in the 100 freestyle bellingham's jasmine garcia again with a
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: slight lead over lyndon's claire fleming butella both have qualified
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: for districts got to get about five more seconds under
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to qualify for state. In the 500 freestyle, the long distance,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Seaholmes Elsa Ethelbaugh in just under six minutes, which means
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: she has qualified for district, and she's about 15 seconds
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: away from qualifying for state already. Again, very early. I
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: understand that. It's nice to have the information in front
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of me here, and it's really interesting to see where
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: these athletes are at. In the 200 freestyle relay, it's
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the Linden team of Avery Rutledge, Claire Fleming-Butella, Bridget Brearley,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and Josie Hall of a time of 2 minutes and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: 1 second, or 1.32 seconds, I should say. Boy, it's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: easy for me to say, right? Right behind them, less
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: than a second away, is the Seaholm team. That's going
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to be a nice neck-and-neck race right there. Seaholm Always very,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: very strong swimming. So they might overtake that at some point.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We'll just have to wait and see. In the 100 backstroke,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: it's Bellingham's Amanda Buck with a time of 1 minute, 11.8 seconds.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And again, already qualified for districts there as have a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: lot of swimmers already at the 2A district level. In
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the 100 breaststroke, it's Raha Gare of Sehome. Again, 1 minute, 20.09 seconds.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It's the best time in Whatcom County. And finally, the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: 400 freestyle relay. It's the Squalicum team of Jazzy Nelson,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Soleil Rubido, Luna Cantu, and Ellie Hanslick with a time
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of 4 minutes, 31.38 seconds. So, yeah, it's just getting
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: going right now, right? This is when it gets exciting.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It's always fun to watch these times drop and drop
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden at state. And you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: never know. There's been some really good the last few years.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad I was able to jump into the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: sport a few years ago and really dive in. See
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what I did there? And it's been a lot of fun.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So we will talk more girls in swimming and diving
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: next week and find out if any of these times
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: have been bested. But for now, we will go to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Girls Soccer. Of course, Girls Soccer is sponsored by North
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: County Alliance FC. You can visit them online at ncalliancefc.com. Club, competitive,
• 16:36

• 16:40
  Speaker 1: do with soccer. When you're talking about the daily recaps,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the scoreboards at night, the stat leaders, everything, the player
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of the week, everything is brought to you by North
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: County Alliance FC. And they locked in for multiple years,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and I didn't even ask them to. So that gives
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: me the confidence to say yes. Tyler, we like what

• 17:12
  Speaker 1: both girls and boys soccer. But we're, we are talking
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: girls soccer and we're going to talk about what happened
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: during the week on Tuesday. A lot of matches going
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on as Ferndale beat Linden three to two. I was
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: at that one there. Um, you know, great back and forth, um,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I remember Kendall Coleman getting a goal really early, and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I think it was 1-0 for the rest of the half.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: The Linden tied it up when Sarah Erie dribbled around
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: multiple defenders and hit one in the back of the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: corner of the net. Then Ferndale sophomore Mia Collins then
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: scored on a perfectly placed kick after being set up
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: on a run by sophomore Hannah Huynh, and that gave
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Ferndale a 2-1 lead. And then Coleman scored her second
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: goal of the game with less than five minutes remaining,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: which was really important because Lyndon Jr. 's Sania Grewal
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: scored her team's second goal in the closing minutes on
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a penalty kick as Ferndale held on to win 3-2.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker beat Sultan 4-0 as Macy Kamenga had a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: hat trick. And Mount Baker soccer, they're starting to kind
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of come around, and we've seen these young players last
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: year do some good things, and now they've got another
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: year of experience under the belt, so that's a really
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: good thing. Bellingham beats Lyndon Christian 3-1. And as Sophia
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Dion was in the giving mood, as she assisted on
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: all three of her team's goals, that was a huge
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: one for them. Meridian beating Lakewood 4-1 as freshman midfielder
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Ella Krapcov scored all four of her team's goals. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Les Lane had a pair of assists to lead Meridian
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: in that one. Nooksack Valley over Granite Falls 3-0 as
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Peyton Duque had a pair of goals. Sehome over Oak Harbor.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: 4-1 after the Wildcats had a 1-0 lead, but Sion
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: puts them away. And Squalicum and Blaine tying 1-1, that
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: was pretty big. That shows me a lot from the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: borderites as Squalicum had the lead 1-0 when Audrey Kiesau
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: scored on a cross from Siri Hoagland, but Violet Tuttle
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: was able to score for Blaine, and they were able
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to keep that one tied up. And then on Thursday,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a bunch more matches again as Blaine beat Granite Falls 5-0,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Linden over Lakewood 3-0, Linden Christian over Mount Vernon 4-2,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Bellingham all over, Salton 7-0, Ferndale beat Meridian 6-1, Anacortes
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: shuts out, I'm sorry, Squalicum shuts out, Anacortes 2-0, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: CLM beat Burlington Edison 6-2. And in this one, Kate
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Koresky scored a couple of goals for Blaine, who also
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: got a couple more from Rudy Bellarmino late in the game.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Linden got goals from Saniha Grewal, Kylie McVeigh, and Lena Vandermeer.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: And Linden Christian, huge, huge game for Kaylin Hinton as
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: she's finished with the hat trick and then assisted on
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the fourth goal, which was scored by Addie Mullendyke. Bellingham
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: stayed undefeated on the year as numerous players were able
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to make an impact as Nadia Villanueva major led with
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a goal as well as the opening assist that went
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: towards the goal scored by sophomore Sarah Harward. A lot
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: of other players getting involved there. Ferndale over Meridian six
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to one. Like I said earlier, Meridian actually led early
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: on in this, but then Ferndale was able to come
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: back and, and lots of different players, um, were able
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to get involved in that one. Squalicum beating Anacortes 2-0.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Siri Hoagland scores both the goals. And Sehome, like I said,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: beating Burlington Edison 6-2. Kayla Reeves had two goals and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: an assist, as Vivian Moss and Amaya Reid each had
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a goal and assist as well. And then on Saturday,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit more soccer, as Squalicum beating Sehome 3-2.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I was there. I'm so glad I got there early because...
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: It was 3-1 after eight minutes, and I thought, my goodness,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: is this the way it's going to continue? Squalicum was
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: able to hold on. Seaholm scored one last goal, but
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Squalicum holds on for a 3-2 win. Addison Wilson, Ryland Rockefeller,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and Siri Hoagland all scored for Squalicum, with Rockefeller and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Hoagland also picking up assists. Seaholm got goals from Vivian
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Moss and Kylie Ifsevik. Linden beat Burlington Edison 2-0. As
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Lena Vandermeer and Sarah Erie scored goals, Bellingham beat Lakewood 5-0,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: as Nadia Villanueva-Major scored twice, and Meridian all over Friday Harbor,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: as Mila Kratsov had two goals and two assists, while
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Luz Lane finished with two goals and an assist to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: lead the Trojans. Well, let's take a look at the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: standings now, and Bellingham is the only team that has
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: won all of their games. They are 4-0 on the season.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Sehome and Linden Christian are both 3-0, and Squalicum is 3-0-1.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Blaine is 2-0-1. Mount Baker, 2-1. Ferndale, 2-1. Nooksack Valley, 2-1. Meridian, 3-2,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: as is Linden. And so, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: but I'm looking at this saying, is this true? I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: think it is. All 10 teams from Whatcom County right
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: now have a record above. 500. After two weeks of soccer,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: has that ever been the case? I don't think that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: has been. That's really hard to do. We are playing
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: extremely well, and all these teams up here, up north,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: are doing extremely well, and boy, it makes my job
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: great because I get to talk about all these great athletes.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: So that is just fantastic to see. I didn't know
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that was the case until right now when I'm looking
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: at it, and it just kind of stood out to me,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and that's fantastic. Let's take a look at the goal
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: leaders now. We're going to have a top 12 as
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: there's a three-way tie for 10th with three goals on
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the season. Peyton Duque of Nooksack Valley and Nadia Villanueva
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Major of Bellingham and Kylie Ifsevek of Sehome have all
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: scored three goals on the year. A bunch of players
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: with four goals so far this year. Kendall Coleman of Ferndale,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Lena Vandermeer of Linden, Avery Warnock of Meridian, Macy Kamanga
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: of Mount Baker, Siri Hoagland of Squalicum, and Kaylin Hinton
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of Linden Christian have all scored four goals on the year.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Les Lane of Meridian has five. And then leading the
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: way with six goals so far on the year in
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: just two weeks, it's a two-way tie between Ella Kratsov
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of Meridian and Vivian Moss of Sehome. And then when
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you look at the assist leaders, yes, this is the
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: first time I'll be able to do assist leaders. Les
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Lane of Meridian leading the way with five assists. Sophia
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Dion of Bellingham has four. We've got a tie with
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Vivian Moss of Seaholm, Kaylin Hinton of Linden Christian, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Mila Kratsov of Meridian all have three assists, while there's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: a handful of players that have two. Quite a bit
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to name here. So those are the North County Alliance
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: FC leaders. And now that takes us to the North
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: County Alliance FC Player of the Week. It's been a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: strong week for some of these teams. Meridian scored a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: lot of goals today. Bellingham beating up on, I think
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: they went 3-0 this week, so a really strong week
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: for them as well. But I'm giving it to Siri
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Hoagland of Squalicum. So, you know, had an assist in
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: that first game of the week against Blaine in that
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: 1-1 tie against a much-improved Borderite team. Then she scores
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: both goals in the win against Anacortes and then has
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: a goal and assist in the huge win against Sehome.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to Siri Hoagland of Squalicum. You are the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: North County Alliance FC Player of the Week, which means
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: we are going to head to volleyball. And we've got
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of sponsors to talk about here. There's a
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: lot of businesses all in on volleyball, which makes it
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: great for me because I can cover a bunch of stuff.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: And part of the money with this sponsorship, it obviously
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: helps me pay bills and all that stuff, but it'll
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: send me to state volleyball again, which I've done the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: last– three years in a row, I believe. So yeah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: this will be the fourth year in a row. I'll
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: be able to go to state volleyball. It's always a
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: great time. So I'm excited about that. So let's talk
• 25:30

  Speaker 1: That's A-N-D-G-A-R.com. And we're going to go to the scores
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and standings at the moment here. So let's look at
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: earlier in the week, Tuesday, there was a handful of games. Boy,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the big one was Ferndale beating Sehome 3-2. Sehome had
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a two-set lead. Ferndale came back and had the reverse sweep. Huge,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: huge week for the Golden Eagles, and that was a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: big way to kick it off. Lyndon Christian beat Burlington
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Edison 3-0. Nooksack Valley over Anacortes 3-0. Lyndon beat Meridian 3-0.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: And Mount Vernon squeaked by Squalicum 3-2. That was a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: really tough one for the Storm there as they lost
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the fifth set 16-14. Yikes. So, so close. And again,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: that one was on the road. So that was a really,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: really tough one there for the storm. And then on Wednesday,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the very next night, some of these teams had to
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: play again. Linden beating Lakewood 3-0. Ferndale over Meridian 3-0.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Bellingham beat Blaine 3-0. And Oak Harbor had to come
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: back and beat Mount Baker 3-2. Mount Baker had this one.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: And they've never beat Oak Harbor in school history. Now,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: they've only been playing for about four or five years.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: But Mount Baker was, they were up and they were
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: playing in the fifth set. Mount Baker, I think, had
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to win the fourth set just to get there. And
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: then in the fifth set, they were up, I want
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to say something like 14 to 10. And then Oak
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Harbor went on a run and ended up winning that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: fourth set. So 16 to 14, much like that Mount
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Vernon Squalicum one. But I was really, you know, it
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: was great to see the growth that Mount Baker had.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: A lot of great defense, Tegan Huntley and Peyton Zender
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in the backcourt. Of course, up front, Rebecca Soares and
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Layla Porter, you know, with tons of assists. But Violet
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Fox was, she was coming on really strong there in
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the fourth set to help them win that one. And
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: she was doing, she continued that run in the fifth
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: set before O'Carver took over with some strong serves and
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: walked away with it. So that was a little tough
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: for them, but My goodness. It was a great, great
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: match to be at. And then on Thursday night, Bellingham
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: beat Sultan 3-1, Lyndon Christian over Mount Vernon 3-0, and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Sehome blanked Burlington Edison 3-0. I was out at Bellingham
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: after I was at the football game for about a quarter,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: headed out to Bellingham and watched them defeat Sultan. I
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: felt bad because when I got there, that was when
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Sultan won their set. I felt really bad about that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, I must be the bad mojo
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: or something. But Bellingham was able to come back. and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: shut them down, and ultimately took the final one 25-12,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: so a big, big win there for Bellingham, who, you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to be honest, before the season started, I was a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: little worried about them with the injuries and players not
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: coming out, and I thought, my goodness, it's so many
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: new varsity kids. What I didn't know was the impact
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: that Estelle Oaks was going to have, and Morgan Brennan
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: was going to have, and Hensley Hurlburt and Audrey real
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and Ava Weeby. These are all players that have not
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: played any varsity volleyball and they all have been playing tremendous.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Like they are ready for the moment. So really cool
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: to see them step up and do their thing. And
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that's been, that's been awesome to see. Like I said,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Lyndon Christian all over Mount Vernon, Big game defensively by
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Lila Pereira. And then Sehome beating Burlington Edison 3-0. Taylor Terrell,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a tremendous game there, as well as Paige Flory with
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: 10 kills, 5 digs, 4 aces. And then on Friday,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: they had to move a game here. As Squalicum and Anacortes,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: they were flip-flopped. So instead of playing football on Friday
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and volleyball on Thursday, they flip-flopped. They went to volleyball
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: on Friday night down in Anacortes. And it took all
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: five sets as Squalicum had the reverse sweep after being
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: down two sets to zero. They'd won the next ones, 25-23, 25-12,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and then 15-5 as senior hitter Penelope Darius led the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: offense with 17 kills. And the defense again was anchored
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: by Bronwyn Jones, who had 20 digs. Freshman Lola Froese
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: picked up a double-double with 10 kills and 15 digs,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: which went along with her four aces, Avery Kettman, Alyssa Roselli,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Tiana Thompson. All your normal names there all had big,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: big games. And great to see them come back after
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: losing a five-set match earlier in the week on the road.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: You have another five-set match on the road. And this
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: time you take care of business and beat Anacortes. And
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that's huge, huge, huge for them, which is really, really cool.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the standings now as Linden
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and Nooksack Valley are still undefeated on the season. Sehome
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and Squalicum, Bellingham, Linden Christian, Ferndale, all 2-1. Obviously, we
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: are early in the season. Mount Baker is 1-1 as
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Blaine and Meridian still looking for their first wins on
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the year, although there was a tournament out at Yakima
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: this past weekend. And where I know Meridian did quite well,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and I think they took second place. I think Linden
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: won the championship there. I think Sehome was over there. So, yeah,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: so a lot of volleyball being played over the weekend
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that I don't really track. But it was good to
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: see that some of these teams, like Meridian has been
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: struggling this year. Now their schedule to start off the
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: year is brutal. So it's really top loaded there where
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you're playing all the heavy hitters early on. And they
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: had to replace him. They had a good group of
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: seniors last year on that state runner-up team. But a
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: lot of new varsity players, so to get acclimated, it's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: tough against these big-time opponents where you've got to play Linden, Sehome,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: and Ferndale to start off the year. It's no easy task.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So expect them to kind of bounce back and do
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: some good things. Let's take a look now at the
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: stat leaders. And, of course, stat leaders are brought to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: you by Apex Volleyball Northwest. Apex Northwest Volleyball Club utilizes
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: competitive volleyball to develop stronger athletes, nurture well-rounded individuals, and
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: provide resources to pursue volleyball at the next level. Check
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: them out at apexnwvolleyballclub.org. So let's take a look at
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: those stat leaders at the moment. And we're going to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: go to Kills Per Set. It's still Finley Parcher-Lyndon leading
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the way with a tremendous 6.08 Kills Per Set, followed
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: by Melanie Short at 5.32. Elizabeth Delang of Nooksack Valley, 4.83.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Svetlana Badak of Ferndale, 4.55. And Paige Flory in fifth place.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: And then we go to Diggs Percet, Brooklyn Larrabee of Ferndale.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Pretty incredible for a setter to be leading in Diggs Percet,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: but that tells you she is all over the court.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Phelps-McDonald of Blaine in second place. Bronwyn Jones of
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Squalicum in third. Lila Pereira of Linda Christian in fourth.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And Svetlana Badak. Badak tied with Jackie Hurley in fifth place.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: In assists per set, Izzy Steffen still leading the way
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: at 10.23 assists per set, followed by Brooklyn Larrabee of Ferndale,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Finley Mitchell of Nooksack Valley, Taylor Terrell of Sehome, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Alyssa Rosselli of Squalicum. In the aces per set, how
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: about Kendall Juergens, 1.83 aces per set. That's a pretty
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: incredible number. Estelle Oaks of Bellingham, 1.27, Finley Mitchell, 1.17,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Eden Bernardi 1.14, and Lily Reeves at 1.13. So anytime
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you can be above one ace per set, that's doing stuff. Now,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I know it's early, so those numbers are going to
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: be changing, but still, that's very, very impressive this early
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: on in the season. And in blocks per set, Rebecca
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Soar is leading the way. And then next up would
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: be Jocelyn Essice of Linden Christian, Brooklyn Flamer of Sehome,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Avery Kettman of Squalicum, and Natalie Harmon of Nooksack Valley.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: So those are your Apex Northwest Volleyball Club stat leaders.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And now let's take a look at the players of
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the week. The offensive player of the week is brought
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to you by Angar Home Comfort. And, you know, this
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: is one where I was kind of looking at team
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: success and numbers and all sorts of different things and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: opponents that they played and everything. And I'm going with
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Larrabee of Ferndale. I know she did a lot
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of things defensively as well But what I saw with
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: my own two eyes at Sehome and how she willed
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: her team to come back to pick up the reverse sweep,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know how she has that much energy. I mean,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: she is constantly in everything, pumping up her teammates, making
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: tons of plays, obviously setting her up teammates to be
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: in the best place possible to get the big hits.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: And so congratulations to Ferndale senior Brooklyn Larrabee for being
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: named the Angar Home Comfort Offensive Player of the Week.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I'll get it right one of these days. Sorry, Brooklyn.
• 35:15

  Speaker 1: Lila Pereira of Linden Christian. They picked up two shutout
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: wins over the week, both of them on the road
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: as Elsie's kind of getting back into the swing of things.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And she's been a rock in the backcourt for a while,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and she had a tremendous week. So Lila Pereira of
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Linda Christian is your Acceleration Driving School Defensive Player of
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the Week. All right, we have talked about all the sports,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and this is one thing I forgot to do last week,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: so I want to make sure I did do it,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: where we take a look at the week ahead. And
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I really want to do this, so let's take a
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: look at this. I kind of marked down The bigger
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: things to look at for each day on Monday. The
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: big thing in Whatcom County, 4 p.m., boys tennis. Bellingham
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: at Ferndale. Bellingham has the reigning state champion, Leo Kuhn.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: So it will be fun to see him in person.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I advise you to check it out. That will be
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: at Ferndale at 4 o'clock. We'll see if the Golden
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Eagles can grab a few matches in that one. It's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: going to be tough. On Tuesday, 7 p.m., girls soccer.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Linden at Bellingham. That's going to be pretty awesome. Bellingham
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: right now, undefeated on the year. Linden, they've been picking
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: up some wins recently. They struggled against Linden Christian, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: then Bellingham beat Linden Christian. So this looks like the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Bayhawks have the edge and they're playing at home, but
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Linden has some really, really good players, and there's been
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: some battles over the years between these two schools. Also,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: at the same time, Linden Christian at Burndale. That'll be
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clock on Tuesday night, I think that looks like
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: an awesome game. And that's one where I could see
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: it being 1-0 or like 6-5. Either way, I think
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: it's going to be close. I think it's going to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: be a great, great matchup. So I'm excited for that one.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: On Wednesday, all the cross-country teams will be running. The
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: three city schools will be at Lake Padden. Blaine will
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: host Nooksack Valley and Linden Christian out at the Peace
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Arch Park. Ferndale will host Linden and Mount Baker. That'll
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: be out at Hovander Park. while Meridian will be running
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: out at Mount Vernon to get some other Skagit schools.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: So all that stuff going on at 4 o'clock. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: believe the one at Lake Padden will start at 5.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one I'm going to be out
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: at yet. Probably going to be Lake Padden, although I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: love going out to Hovander Park as well. But, you know,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Lake Padden, I have got a lot of great memories
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: out there too. And with the three city schools, I mean,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: those are the three hammers right there for cross country.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: So that's probably going to be the one. I'm going
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to be out at. And so that'll be a lot
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: of fun. Also on Wednesday, keep in mind at four
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: o'clock boys, tennis, see home at Linden. And at the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: same time, Ferndale at Squalicum. So some really good tennis
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: matches will be taking place roughly about the same time.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: So if that's what you want to see, you got
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of great ones out at Linden and at
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Squalicum on Thursday, check out some girls swimming and diving
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: at three 30 Squalicum at Linden at forge pool.com. That's
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the only matchup this week in girls swimming, diving, where
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: it's walking County versus walking County. I always try to
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: make those ones. And then later on that night, it's
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: six 30 and this one will not be in the County,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: but volleyball Nooksack Valley at Cedar park, Christian Cedar park, Christian,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: traditionally one of the powerhouses at the one a level
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Nooksack Valley, you know, they're undefeated right now. This will
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: be a huge matchup for them. If they could pick
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: up a win there, that's a huge feather in their cap.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: So I'll be keeping an eye on that one. And
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: then also at seven o'clock volleyball, see home at Bellingham.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they do the whole Bellingham thing
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: for these, um, for these games. That'd be awesome if
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: they do, but that, that'll be a lot of fun.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: And then you flip it for the soccer game, same
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: time Bellingham at see home. So, uh, that should be
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: a great soccer matches Bellingham. Like I said earlier, undefeated
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: on this year, Seaholm's one loss coming to Squalicum, and
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to be riled up this week
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to prove that they're a pretty darn good team as well.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: And then at the same time at 7 o'clock that night,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: another girls' soccer match that I really like, Ferndale at Blaine.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Blaine is much improved, like I said. Got a lot
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: of goal scores. Marcella Bring has been doing awesome inside
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the net. And Ferndale, they struggled earlier in the year.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I think that big loss to Seaholm, I think it
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: was like 5-0. But ever since then, they've been rolling
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: pretty good. So that's going to be an awesome one
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: out at Blaine's 7 o'clock on Thursday night. Of course,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday is usually loaded with football games, but
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: there is some stuff going on. Check out the 2A
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Doubles Tournament, 4 p.m. at Sehome High School on Friday,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: and then it will continue on Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: out at Sehome. So be sure to check that out.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: And doubles tennis, man, it's a lot of fun. You
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: can see some long rallies and And it's a great
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: venue out there at Sehome. You can sit up on
• 40:48
