  Speaker 1: vast majority of them ran in these races and not
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of the top runners ran. It's kind of
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a weird part of the year where maybe they're, you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: maybe getting ready to for a later meet. And but
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: there was still some really good times put in. It
• 1:27

• 2:17
  Speaker 1: majority of them have all walked or jogged around Lake Patton, right?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I've done it a zillion times, believe it or not.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's just don't do it as much as I used
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to because I don't live in town anymore. But I
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: love that place so much. But just to fathom doing
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: it in under 13 minutes all the way around the lake.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Just think about that. It's just insane. And Ruben Taveldi

  Speaker 1: going with Ruben Taveldi of Meridian again. Just to think

  Speaker 1: SetIQ player ratings from SetIQTennis.com. Unbelievable site. I am so excited.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I'm really curious about the database and how things are used.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: There's all these mathematical equations and it goes into all
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the stuff, which, you know, people who know me know
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that that is right up my alley. And I would
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: love to use things like this for other things, especially
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: these singular one-on-one sports, whether it's like tennis for this
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in this case, but like wrestling would be a great
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: one too. Just any of those kinds of sports would
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: be awesome. These one-on-one sports. So really, really cool deal.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And yeah, The district tournament for two-way is still going on.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It started, I believe, Thursday. It went Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It's going to continue on Monday out at Sehome High School.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So I believe it's going to continue at 1 o'clock.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to try to make it out there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I've got to pick up a friend at the airport
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: at 1.30. I do have to go out to the hospital,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of course, to go see Miss Walken Preps, who is–
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: in there at the moment, room 249, if you'd like
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: to send a flowers or card. And so, yeah, I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: going to try to find a time at least to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: buzz out there at some point because I want to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: check out kind of how things are going. And the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: weather has been fantastic. Talk about a great October for tennis.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: So the season is not all the way over just yet,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: but we're getting a little closer here. By this time
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: next week, it will be, except for state, will then
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: take place in May. And we'll talk about that. In
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a few months. Let's go to Girls Swimming and Diving,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Fairhaven College at Western
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Washington University. Their commitment to transformative, creative, inquiry-based learning empowers
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: students to pursue social, economic, and environmental justice. It's the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Fairhaven difference. Check them out at fairhaven.wwu.edu. All right, we're
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: wrapping up the regular season right now. We've got some great,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: great times here to share. The 200 medley relay, the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Bellingham team of Carmody Beattie, Amanda Buck, Jasmine Garcia, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Jordan Ebeling. They are just six one-hundredths of a second
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: still ahead of Squalicum, the team of Sammy Furry, Soleil Rubido,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Jazzy Nelson, and Brooke Staduhar. In the 200 freestyle, it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Elsa Ethelbaugh still of Sehome, two minutes. 5.42 seconds. That
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is a state qualifying time. In the 200 individual medley,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum, 2 minutes, 27.26 seconds. That is
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: eight seconds, about eight and a half seconds, actually faster
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: than the next Whatcom County swimmer there. So that is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: quite a time there. In the 50 freestyle, Jasmine Garcia
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of Belenburg, 26.18 seconds, just eight one hundredths of a
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: second shy of qualifying for state already, which is incredible.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: In diving, Fiona Runnels of Sehome, 174.95 seconds. That's the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: best with 6 dives. She also has the best score
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: with 11 dives at 294.35. In the 100 butterfly, folks,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: this is awesome. They raced against each other. I got
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: some great pictures. I got some video of this. Pictures
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: that were sent to me. Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham had an incredible race. Stroke for
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: stroke in the 100 butterfly and They are– it's an
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: interesting thing because they both have time. Athletes will tell
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: you this. When you're swimming or running or whatever it
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: is and it's a race, when you go against the best,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it brings out the best in you too. I mean
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: for some reason, the brain just knows to go harder
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and faster and yeah, it's unbelievable. I want to share
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: this video at some point this week because it's incredible.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: just how fast these two were swimming. And they both,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the two-way state time is one minute, four and a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: half seconds. They both went under that. Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum, 103.8,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham, 103.97. So you're talking basically
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: almost two-tenths of a second different there, but there was
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: no official certificate, so there's no state qualifier there, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you what, they will They will be at
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: State for 2A in the 100 butterfly. They're that good
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: and unbelievable to see what they both did there. Jasmine
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Garcia of Bellingham, also with the top time in 100 freestyle,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the only swimmer in Whatcom County to get that in
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: under one minute. Elsa Ethelbaugh of Sehome. Also with the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: best time in the 500 freestyle at five minutes, 36.63 seconds.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That is a state qualifying time. 200 freestyle relay. It's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the Bellingham team of Amanda Buck, Carmody Beattie, Jordan Ebeling,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and Jasmine Garcia with a little less than half a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: second faster than the Linden team of Claire Fleming, Butella,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Avery Rutledge, Xochitl Jobes, and Madeline Honkoop. Those are, I mean,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: there's the Swallow team, the Seahawks team, All four teams are, what,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: less than two seconds apart from each other. Four. All
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: four teams less than two seconds apart from each other. So,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you know, that means that at any given time, we'll
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: see how they do in the postseason and who can
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: get to state. That's a really, really exciting event there,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the 200 freestyle relay. In the 100 backstroke, Amanda Buck
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of Bellingham said, with a time of 1 minute, 9.86 seconds.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Jazzy Nelson right behind her by one-tenth of a second.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: In the 100 breaststroke, it's Squalicum Soleil Rubidoux with the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: best time of 1 minute, 13.66 seconds. That is basically
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a two-way state time. It's not, but it's really, really close.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And then in the 400 freestyle relay, again, it's the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Squalicum team of Jazzy Nelson, Ellie Hanslick, Sammy Fury, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Soleil Rubidoux. with a time of 4 minutes, 15.1 seconds.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So this season is going to be wrapping up soon
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: as far as regular season goes, and these swimmers are
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: going to be dialed in with their specific events that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they are the best at, and it's going to be
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: really awesome to see what they can do going into
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: districts and, of course, going to state. So really excited
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: about that. Let's move on to girls soccer now. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: girls soccer is sponsored by North County Alliance FC. Visit
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: them online at ncaliancefc.com. All sorts of levels there. Club, competitive, recreation.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: They had a big event over the weekend. Awesome weather.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: All sorts of ages out at Benderfield. It's really, really
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: cool to see some video. And it's great to see
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just the little ones. I mean, I'm talking little young
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: kids playing with the tiny little goals and Those formative
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: years when you fall in love with something like that,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: especially a sport, boy, that really can elevate you for
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: years to go because you get into it so early.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And the swimmers are probably the same thing, taking swimming
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: lessons at a really young age and just loving being
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in the pool or jumping off the diving board. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it's something that if you start at a young age,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: it's a really, really fun thing to attack and go
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: forward with. So let's take a look at the scores
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Lyndon Christian beat Blaine 6-0. Lyndon all over
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Sultan 8-0. Meridian beat Mount Baker 6-0. Bellingham over Seaholm 2-0.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Ferndale beat Mount Vernon 2-1. Squalicum tied with Burlington Edison 3-3.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: You know, Lyndon Christian executed their game plan extremely well
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: over Blaine, who was without their starting goalie. And Lyndon
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Christian took advantage there. But Big, big game for Addie Molendijk,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Kaylin Hinton, each scoring a pair of goals there. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: also got a goal and an assist from Hattie Hendricks.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So great, great team win there. Linden needed that get-right
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: game after losing six straight by beating, and then they
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: beat Sultan 8-0. So that was huge there. A lot
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of different players getting involved with a goal and an assist.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Meridian with the big win over Mount Baker, 6-0 as
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Ella Kratsov, scored four goals and she just continues to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: have a tremendous season. Bellingham over Seaholm 2-0. That was
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the match of the night. And, and it was Sophie
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Cook who had a goal and an assist. So she
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: kind of led the way there. Sophia Dion also got
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a goal and Stella Eltrich had an assist to remain
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: undefeated on the season or unbeaten, I should say. They
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: do have a few ties, I guess, undefeated, unbeaten, kind
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of the same thing. I, I don't know. Who knows? English,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you know, it's tough. Ferndale beat Mount Vernon 2-1, even
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: though the Bulldogs got out to a 1-0 lead early on,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: but a header by Evie Brong tied the game up.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: It remained 1-1 for the majority of the game until
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the hustle and determination of Mia Collins showed through when
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: she sprinted to intercept a pass to the outside and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: promptly scored the eventual game-winning goal. Squalic and Burlington Edison,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: like I said, tied at 3-3. Ryland Rockefeller scored a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: pair of goals earlier but could only come away with
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the draw there. On Thursday, Sehome beat Linden 3-2. That
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: was one where I thought it might be a little different,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: but Linden at home is always tough. Sehome picks up
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: their 10th win of the year. Ayla Woodworth scored a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: goal and had an assist to lead Sehome. And while
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the Mariners also received goals from Evelyn Goetz and Kayla Reeves,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: as well as an assist from Amaya Reed. Linden was
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: led by Kylie McVie, who had a goal and an assist.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Blair Dowdy also scored a goal while Maria Vandermeer had
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: an assist. Blaine beat Mount Baker three to zero to
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: avenge an earlier loss. And it also halted their seven
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: game losing streak. Kate Koresky scored the first goal of
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the game. Rudy Bellarmine went on to score, excuse me,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the final two goals of the game. Bellingham with another
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: tight one, beating Anacortes on the road, one to zero.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Coach Spencer Wolf told me it's never easy to win
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: down there. There's just something about that place. And, They
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: picked up the narrow win against the Seahawks as the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: lone goal was scored by Sophia Dion, which was assisted
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: by Anna Ruby. Meridian beat Nooksack Valley 3-1, another big
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: road win. They avenged a loss earlier to Nooksack Valley
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: with this one as well, as they were led by
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Les Lane, who scored a pair of goals, and Ella Kratsoff,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: who had a goal and an assist. Avery Warnock also
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: had an assist from Meridian as the Pioneers' lone goal
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: came from Gretchen Elmendorff. Squalicum with the big win over Lakewood.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It was all Storm as Addie Wilson scored a pair
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of goals and Siri Hoagland added a goal and two
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: assists to lead Squalicum to victory. The Storm also received
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: goals from Rylan Rockefeller and Kira Cox and an assist
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: from Audrey Kiesau. Ferndale was all over Cedra Woolley and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: they did it in dominated fashion to win their 10th
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: straight Mia Collins and Kendall Coleman each had a pair
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: of goals in the first half alone, which helped Ferndale
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: fly out to a 5-0 lead at the midway break.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Other goals were scored by Liv Luna, Evie Braun, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Adelie Beach. So big wins by a lot of these teams.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Also on Saturday, there was a couple of non-league games.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker picks up the win over Orcas Island on
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the road, 5-0. Macy Kamenga with the hat trick there.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And then Kaylin Hinton scored a couple goals there. against
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Montesano on the road to pick up a 2-1 win.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the standings now. And
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I was looking at the nwcathletics.com page for the standings
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: as far as conference standings, but it was all out
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of whack. They had games that were conference games that
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: weren't really conference games. They had scores that hadn't even
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: been put in yet. So I'm just looking at the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: overall standings that I've been keeping and And Bellingham winning
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: six in a row now. They're 12-0-2. Ferndale, like I said,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I keep saying it every week. They dropped that first
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: one to see him five, zero. They haven't lost since
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they are on a 10 game winning streak, undefeated at
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: home and belly. I'm also undefeated at home seven and Oh,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: both are ties coming on the road, see home 10,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: two and two. And they're coming on strong too. You
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: got to watch out for them. Oak Harbor is kind
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of proving to be that other tougher three, 18. So
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: they do play Ferndale this week. We'll talk about that
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. Meridian with their fourth straight win
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: now up to 10-5. Lyndon Christian has won three straight,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: so they're 9-5 on the year. Squalicum, the team with
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of ties, they've got three of them, but
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they're 8-3-3. Mount Baker, I mean, much improved. They're 5-7
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on the year. Nooksack Valley right there with them, 5-6-1.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Lyndon is 5-10. And Blaine getting off the schneid after
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: dropping seven straight. They're 3-7-1 at the moment. So that's
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: kind of your look at the standings there. Let's take
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a look at the North County Alliance FC stat leaders.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: We're going to start off with goals, and let's see here.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So we're going to do a top 11. We've got
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a three-way tie with nine goals on the year. Addie
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Molendyke of Linden Christian, Kylie Ifsevich of Sehome, and Vivian
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Moss of Sehome all have nine goals on the year.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Then going up to eighth place is Kayla Reeves of Sehome,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: who has 10 goals on the year. She has the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: most goals for the Mariners. Mariners really spread it out
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: there with a lot of players participating in getting goals.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Next up is a three-way tie with 11 goals. Sophia
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Dion of Bellingham, Macy Kamenga of Mount Baker, and Mia
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Collins of Ferndale all have 11 goals on the year.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Luz Lane of Meridian is in fourth place with 13
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: goals on the season. Kaylin Hinton of Lennon Christian. She
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: is in third place with 14 goals on the year.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Addie Wilson of Squalicum has 15 goals in second place.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And the leader still is Meridian freshman Ella Krapsoff, who
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: has scored 23 goals so far this year. Insane. That's unbelievable.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Now let's take a look at assists. We've got a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: lot of players with five assists on the year. Annie
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Ruby of Bellingham. Sophia Guzman of Meridian. Amaya Reid of Sehome.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Kylie McVie of Linden. Kylie Ivcevich of Sehome. Sophia Dion
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of Bellingham, and Kaylin Hinton of Linnick Christian. They all
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: have five assists on the year. The three-way tie with
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: six assists on the year. Siri Hoagland of Squalicum, Sophie
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Cook of Bellingham, and Mila Kravtsov of Meridian. All have
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: six assists. Tied for second place in the county with
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: seven assists so far this year. Luz Lane of Meridian,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Rylan Rockefeller of Squalicum, and Vivian Moss of Sehome. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: tell you, Vivian Moss, watching her play, she is... you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: could tell her brain is thinking all the time. Cause she's,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: she's kind of ahead of everybody else. It seems like
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: every time I watch her anyways, and she has the ball, um, she's,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: and she's always looking to set up a teammate, which
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is really, really cool to see great teamwork there. And
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: leading the way is Lexi Yoon of Linden Christian. She
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: has nine assists on the year. I'm curious how many
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of them have come from corner kicks. Cause she's, uh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: she's pretty darn good at that. So, so those are
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: your North County Alliance FC leaders, uh, Now it's time
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to talk about the player of the week. The North
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: County Alliance FC player of the week is Kaylin Hinton
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: of Linden Christian. I will see is on a roll
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: right now. And when she, she scored, when she scores goals,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they're kind of the kind that make you go, Whoa,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: did you just see that? Like if you're watching on film,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: you want to rewind it, see it again, actually kind
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of see how in the world she did that. And
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: she's one of those players. That's kind of a next
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: level type player that is going to be, Really, really
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: fun to watch, especially when they get into postseason. They
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: can get out of districts and then go to state.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: She's going to be one of the key players for
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the Lynx. So congratulations to Kaylin Hinton on being named
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week. Let's
• 23:48

  Speaker 1: online at andgar.com. That's A-N-D-G-A-R.com. Let's take a look at
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: what happened during the week on Monday. In the 1As,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Meridian beat Mount Baker 3-0. But, you know, I said
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: this on the live show on Friday night, too, that,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: you know, in the past, Meridian would get Baker and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: it would be, you know, a lot of these 25-11s, 25-12s.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: That first set, it was 25-17. Mount Baker's playing a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: lot better. Meridian is really starting to show, you know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: they got off to that, you know, they played three
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: amazing teams right off the get-back. I think they had
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to play Seaholm, Linden, and Ferndale to start the season.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: And since then, they just have been on a tear,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: including this win over Mount Baker here. But it's been
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: really fun to see the improvement of the Mountaineers. And
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Meridian is still just... just right there. I mean, they are,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: they're a team that, you know, the second state last year.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: So you've got to be leery of them. Ferndale also
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: defeated Oak Harbor three to zero as you know, the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: golden Eagles that beat, beat up on the wildcast 25, 16, 25, 21,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and then 25, 16. Again, defense at the net was
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: superb as Ferndale totaled six and a half blocks with
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Jordan Twettle and Adele Overson leading the way with two each.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Ferndale Volleyball it's really interesting because now we're in that
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: league play where they're only playing the 3A teams so
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you kind of rotate through and play them a bunch
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: of times and Ferndale is just they're a few notches
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: ahead of these other 3A teams and so I'm hoping
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: they're getting pushed enough so when they get into the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: playoffs they'll be ready I think they are getting pushed
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: enough they're just so good they're dominating or I should
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: say they're winning they're not you know, they're not winning
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: these all like 25 to 10. And so it's really
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: hard to see if like, I'd love to see them
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: play Linden again or Ferndale again, I think, or even
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Meridian again, I think those would be great, great matches
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Linden Christian. But, and that, that, that one against Linden
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Christian earlier in the year, that was awesome. I was
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: at that one, but it was, but I think that
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: they are on the right track and things are going really,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: really well for them. So we'll see kind of how
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they do once they get into the post season. On Tuesday,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: there were four matches. Seaholm beat Bellingham 3-0. Linden over
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Sultan 3-0. Linden Christian over Blaine 3-0. Squalic can beat
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Burlington Edison 3-1. Squalic on a good streak here. And
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: after dropping the first set on the road, come back
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to win the next three. Linden Christian all over Blaine. 25-7, 25-9, 25-9.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Elsie's starting to get a little healthier now, as I've seen...
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I've seen Tyra Dykstra is back out there. I think
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: her positioning, though, is more as a defensive specialist than
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: an outside hitter, so probably to protect the foot or
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: ankle or whatever it was that she banged up a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: little bit. You know, Linden beating Sultan, they only surrendered
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: 16 total points over the three-set sweep at home. Linden
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: takes care of business there. Sehome beating Bellingham, I was
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: at that one. Paige Flory had a great game. Taylor
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Terrell as well. Jackie Early, 19 digs. Just a great
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: overall team effort there. It was so fun because I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: got to sit there to watch that game next to
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: the Nooksack Valley coach, Holly St. Marie. Just talking volleyball
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: with her was just so fun. I felt like I
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: was a pest asking her all these questions because she
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you're in the moment, you're watching a game, things are happening.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: And I want to ask questions like, okay, what does
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that mean? Why, why do you have to do this?
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: You know, the rotation, how does that work? There's different
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: types of rotations. I'm learning like on the fly. And
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: it was just so fun talking to her and kind
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: of learning about, you know, why this and why that
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and going into a game and how, you know, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: have your six servers and, why you make substitutions at
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: this time and that time and why, when do you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: take timeouts? Where do you choose to serve the ball?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: All that stuff. It's just so fun to talk to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a coach in the moment and, uh, hopefully not being
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: too much of a pain, uh, you know, as a,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: you know, cause I know she's probably wanting to watch
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the game a little bit, but, um, Hopefully she was
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: okay with that. So thank you very much, Coach, for
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: letting me bend your ear a little bit there on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Meridian and Nooksack Valley, that
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: was one where I was at the first one. That
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: was really close. I believe it went four sets. There
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: were a lot of them were pretty close, but Meridian
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: looked a little bit more dominant than they did that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: first time. Although that third set, This time went 28-26,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: so Nooksack Valley had some fight in them at the end.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: The Trojans still pick up the sweep, though, over Nooksack Valley.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Ferndale over Mount Vernon 3-0 as well. Ferndale still showing
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that they're the class of the 3A of Northwest Conference.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: On Thursday, Mount Baker beat Blaine 3-0. That's their second
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: win over Blaine this year is Mount Baker. Um, it
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: was a couple of 25 to 12 matches. Then the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: last one, 29 to 27. I think that's the highest
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: scoring set we've had all year. Um, which is, uh,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty cool. I mean, you go to,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: you watch those ones that are, they go like that
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and just the nerves and the pins and needles that
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you're on. It's unbelievable. Um, Squalicum beating Lakewood 3-0. Squalicum
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: still rolling there. Anacortes, they took all five sets to
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: get Bellingham 3-2. The Bayhawks played extremely well there. Estelle
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Oaks had another huge game, 15 kills. It just wasn't
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: there for them to get the win at home against
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. And then the big match of the night,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Linden over Seaholm, 3-2. I've been saying all year that
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Linden hadn't dropped a set. I misspoke. About that over
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and over again. Lyndon Christian did get them early on.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: In one set. But other than that. Lyndon has been flawless.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And I go to this one. And it was an
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: amazing match. Probably. Well it's the best match I've seen
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: all year. I've seen some great ones at state. But
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: this was just. This was awesome to see. It was
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: just so fantastic. CM won the first set. And it was.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: it was, uh, like the, just the, the, the pandemonium
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: going on in the gym at CLM high school was palpable.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: It was, it was crazy. Uh, it was a 27,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: 25 win in that first set. And, um, and then
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the Linden had, they came back on the next one,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: 26 to 24. So the first two sets go extra
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and cause you've got to win by two. So that
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: kind of, kind of repped everybody for the night. Like, Hey,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a little crazy. Um, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the lions won the pivotal third set 25 to 22,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: but seal and bounce back to take set number four, 25, 21.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: And of course the final set would be one by
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: two points as Linden prevailed 15 to 13 huge numbers
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: put across the board. Finley Partridge had 30 kills. Uh,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Izzy Stephan had 55 assists. I mean, these numbers were
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: just crazy. Sarah McPhee had four and a half blocks. Um,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Taylor Terrell had 47 assists to go with 11 digs.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Paige Flory, 19 kills and 10 digs. Radler Rosales and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: 15 kills and 18 digs. Jackie Hurley had 28 digs.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Flamer, 16 kills from her middle position. Sophia Gage
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: had three blocks. This was, this showed me a lot
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: because this is what's interesting is once we get to
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the postseason, this really stinks for Whatcom County is only
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: two teams will go to state from two way, only two. And,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at Linden being the top ranked
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: team in the state, you know, so that they're probably
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: going to take one of them and see them as
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: showing that they can play with Linden right now. Squalicum
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: is playing unbelievable. So, you know, there's a three good
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: teams right there and Archbishop Murphy, who's ranked, I believe
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: second state, they're part of the district. So, you know,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: they're going to have a say as well. So someone's
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: going to have to knock off somebody and, or someone's
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: going to have to try to knock off Archbishop Murphy.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: It sounds like, but, and right now I'm really curious
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to see how see home would match up with them.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: It's going to be, it's going to be crazy. That's
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: going to be out at Meridian high school. Once they
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: get going on that, on that, that tournament, that's only
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: a few weeks away and that's going to be really,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: really fun to see. That's a, and the one day
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and the two way are both going on there. And,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: You just kind of set up camp and go there
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: every single night. So on Friday, this was incredible. Lyndon
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Christian goes out to Kashmir. Kashmir is ranked number one
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: in the state in 1A, and Lyndon Christian won three
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: sets to one. So hats off to the Lynx. That
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. And it was the great defense. Taya Vander Kooi,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Ellie Pierce each had 19 digs. Lila Pereira had 16 digs.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Miller had 10 digs. So it was really the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: defense that kept them in that. And then Emery Fritz
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and Brielle Berenson each had, or they, they combined for
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: 40 assists, setting up Jocelyn S. Ice, who had 17 kills.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Jesse Young had 11 kills. Lexi Ben Dixon had 10 kills.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And it was quite a night for Linda Christian to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: beat the top ranked team in the state. And then
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, there was a lot of volleyball being, being played.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Many teams went to Western Washington University to, to play
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: in a tournament. Uh, but there was also, you know,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Meridian and LC going east of the mountains to take
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: on the defending state champions, Chelan. Chelan got Meridian in
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: three straight sets. Um, but it took five sets for
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Chelan to beat Linden Christian. So you're kind of starting
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to see, you know, Linden Christian now is kind of
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: on a roll. Uh, I don't believe that they've lost since, um,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: or going into Chelan anyways, they hadn't lost since they
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: played Meridian, uh, I don't think. And they go and
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: they beat the top team in the state in Kashmir.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: And then they play the defending state champions, who I
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: think they're ranked second in the state. They lose in
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: five sets. And then they beat Liberty Bell in three
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: straight sets. Meridian also beat Liberty Bell three to one.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker also got on the ferry, went to Orcas
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Island and defeated the Vikings three to one there. So
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of volleyball being played on Saturday as well.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: So a lot of A lot of stats to be
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: input and all that stuff, but let's take a look
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: at the standings now. We're going to start out in
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: 1A Meridian. Now, this is just league standings. Meridian is
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: 6-0 on the year. Linden Christian is 4-1, so they're
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: definitely looking like 1-2, but they're going to be playing
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: each other this week in a really big matchup. that
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: can determine who the league champion will be in 1A.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Nooksack Valley and Mount Baker each have two wins, so
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: they're going to fight it out this week to see
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: who that third team is going to be, although there's
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of, not a lot, but there's still some
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: volleyball to be played. Blaine's still looking for their first win.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: In 2A, in league play, Linden is 11-0, while Seaholm
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and Squall can reach 9-2. We were just kind of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: talking about that, how all those teams are deserving of
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a big run here. And of course, the 6-5, Bellingham 4-7.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Burlington is in 3-8, Lakewood 2-9, and Sultan is 0-11.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And then in 3A, like I said earlier, Ferndale, definitely
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the class there is there, 5-0, as all the other
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: teams are under. 500. Oak Harbor and Mount Vernon are
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: each 2-3. Central Woolley is 1-4. So Ferndale just kind
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: of going around and beating all these teams over and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: over again. They haven't dropped a set in the Northwest
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Conference 3A matches. So Ferndale volleyball definitely something to look
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: out for. Let's take a look at the stat leaders
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that are brought to you by Apex Northwest Volleyball. Apex
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Northwest Volleyball Club utilizes competitive volleyball to develop stronger athletes,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: nurture well-rounded individuals, and provide resources to pursue volleyball at
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the next level. Check them out at apexnwvolleyballclub.org. Take a
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: look at the kills per set. It's a lot of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the same names in the same order. Melanie Short leading
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the way of Meridian at 5.52 kills per set. We
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: take a look at digs per set. Bailey Burge with
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a slight lead over Jackie Hurley. Bailey Burge for Bellingham.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Jackie Hurley of Sehome. Bronwyn Jones of Squalicum. All three
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: of them are over four digs per set. In assists
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: per set, this is a rarity where we have two
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: players that are over 10 assists per set. Brooklyn Larrabee
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: at 10.3. Izzy Stephan of Linden at 10.07. Taylor Terrell
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: knocking on the door at 8.65. Finley Mitchell in fourth.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: And Kendall Stacey in fifth. In aces per set, Eden
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Bernardi still has more aces than sets played. She has
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: 57 aces on the year. She looks like a jackknife
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: dive when she serves aces. Her whole body goes up,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: and then it contorts at the middle where she kicks
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: her feet forward with her arm going forward. So she
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: makes like a, I don't know, like a greater than sign,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. But, you know, you
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: could see the athleticism there and the power with her serves.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And it definitely goes over pretty well. Radley Rosellison of Seaholm,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: she's right at one ace per set. Lola Froese. Next up,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: the freshmen. She's at 0.78. Kendall Juergens of Nooksack Valley
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: in fourth, and Taya Vander Kooi of Lennon Christian in fifth.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: And in blocks per set, Jocelyn Essise with a big
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: week of blocks. She jumps up into the top spot, 0.69.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Delang, 0.59. Izzy Stephan in third. Livia Weta of
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Blaine in fourth, and Avery Kettman and Brooklyn Flamer are
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: tied for fifth place in blocks per set. Well, let's
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: take a look at the award winners now. The Andgar
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Home Comfort Offensive Player of the Week. It was quite
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a week, but I'm giving this to Izzy Stephan of Linden.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Just watching her in person and seeing what she did. Obviously,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: a big match against Sultan, but that doesn't speak as
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: many volumes as what she did against Sehome. Just 55 assists.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: And I know it was over five sets, but that
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: fifth set is shortened. Unbelievable night for, I mean, every
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: player on both teams, but what Izzy Steffen did was truly,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: truly amazing. She is the Angar Home Comfort Offensive Player
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: of the Week. Also, we have the Defensive Player of
• 39:25

• 40:04
  Speaker 1: of the week, I'm going with Jocelyn Essise of Linden Christian. She,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: especially what she did, you know, against Cashmere and Chelan,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: these powerhouse teams that will be at state level. She
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: showed what she could do. She showed why she's going
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to play big-time college volleyball. The returning All-State middle for
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Lyndon Christian, Jocelyn Essise. Congratulations. You are the Acceleration Driving
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: School Defensive Player of the Week. Let's take a look
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: at this upcoming week, what we have going on on Monday.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: which will be, you know, as you're listening to this,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: it should be today. Tennis, district tennis continues at Seaholm
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: High School at 1 p.m., so be sure to check
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: that out, see kind of who's left and who's going
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: to be moving on. Also, that night, volleyball, Bellingham at
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Squalicum at 7 o'clock. I think that's going to be
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a pretty good one. You know, Squalicum, when I went
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: there for practice, they were talking about how, for some reason,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Bellingham always plays them really, really tough, so On paper,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: it looks kind of like a mismatch, but you never know.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: This could be one that's going to be a little
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: closer than people think. On Tuesday, we got some big-time
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: swimming at Arnie Hanna Aquatic Center at 3.30. Bellingham at
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Seaholm should be extremely close there. Should be some good
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: swimming and diving in that one. Also, soccer out at
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Linden Christian. Nooksack Valley at Linden Christian at 4 o'clock.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Nooksack Valley looking to kind of knock them off. They
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: beat Meridian earlier this year. Meridian beat Linden Krishna earlier
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: this year. So you never know what's going to happen there.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: And then later on that night, there's some great soccer matches.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Squalicum at Bellingham. That'll be at 7 o'clock. And Bellingham
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: has yet to drop a match or even tie at home. Squalicum, though,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I think when they played at Squalicum, it was a
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: tie earlier in the year. So this should be a
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: great one. Also, Ferndale at Oak Harbor. Ferndale showing that
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: they're the class of 3A, but Oak Harbor is kind
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: of that next team, and they'll be on the road
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: at Oak Harbor, so that'll be a great one, too,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: at 7 o'clock. We'll see if Ferndale can keep their
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: winning streak alive. On Wednesday, cross-country, all the Northwest Conference
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: schools will be at Civic Stadium starting at 320. So
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I am really excited for that. I love it when
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: all the schools come together in a big event, so
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: I'll probably set up camp there and be there for
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: a while. That's going to be an awesome event. So
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: all the top runners from all over the conference will
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: be competing in this one, and I'm really excited about
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: that one. I'm hoping the weather will be somewhat decent
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: for pictures and stuff like that. And then later on
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: that night, there it is, the volleyball rematch, Meridian at
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Linden Christian. We saw what happened the first time Meridian
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: got them. This time it's going to be at Linden Christian.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Linden Christian's on a roll right now, having beaten the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: top team in the state and then taking the– the
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: last year's state champion into five sets, you know, so
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: this will be a tremendous matchup. That'll be seven o'clock
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night at Linden Christian as they host the Trojans Thursday.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Of course, Thursday is another big slate for a lot
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of stuff going on out at Forge pool and Linden
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Ferndale at Linden and swimming. That'll be at three 30,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: also at three 30 at Ernie Hannah Aquatic Center, see
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: home at Squalicum, another really close swim meet there. It
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: should be great. And then at night, soccer, Linden Christian
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: at Meridian, another great rematch there. This, this, this time
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: at Meridian Meridian got them four to one at LC
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: last time. So LC will have some revenge on their mind.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Meridian's going to look to see if they can up
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: their status a little bit with another win over the links.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Also soccer at Seaholm that night, as Anna Cordes comes
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: to town to take on the Mariners, that'll be at
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock. That should be a really close one as well.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Just kind of based on how they've done against common
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: opponents and, And then later on that night, volleyball, Nooksack
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Valley at Mount Baker at 7 o'clock. Both these teams
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: are tied with two wins in conference play for that
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: third-place spot. You know, it went four sets last time
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: that that was at Nooksack Valley. This time it's at
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker. So, I mean, I think the Pioneers, you
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: look at them to be favored, but this might be
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: a tough one on the road. So be there 7
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: o'clock at the Deming Dome. That's going to be a
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: good one. And then on Saturdays, the rescheduled from earlier
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: on in the year that got missed, Blaine Soccer will
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: be at Nooksack Valley. That'll be at 7 o'clock on
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: the brand-new turf. So that will be a fun one, too.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Only game in town. I advise you to go check
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: it out. Thank you so much to our sponsors, Stauffer Insurance,
