• 1:09
  Speaker 2: was just one guy that was there for a long time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Like how we talk about like, I feel like we've
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: been talking about a guy for a decade or something,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you know, but some good football players over there. But yeah, Tyler,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we need to talk about sponsorships. How do people get
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a hold of you? What do they need to do
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: in terms of getting their name, their company, whatever it
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is they want to do out on a watcome Preps.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: The best way is to get a hold of me
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: through social media. Just search for Walking Preps, send a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: message and chances are all see it pretty quickly and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: we just get the ball rolling from there. Spring is
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: coming up fast now that it is the new year. There,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it's gonna jump up there pretty fast. Still a few
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: things for winter that can be claimed at this point.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And it's a good time now too because with the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: new month rolling in, it's you know, do a lot
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of things like per you know, sometimes per week depending
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on the customer. And we can always work whatever out too.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, there's all sorts of good things that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: can happen, and and just get hold of me through
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: there and we can.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Make it work. Yeah, And there's, like you said, some
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: things still left here. We're going to talk wrestling. There's
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: no no wrestling sponsor yet, but you know, Marty staffer
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and staffa insurance. They keep getting on board every every season,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: so clearly something's working. Clearly they like it. So uh yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we're just waiting for somebody to pick up wrestling here.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And the other one that nobody's picked up yet is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the girls daily recap for basketball. Right, that's right, that's right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's still open and it's a I mean, it gets
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: hundreds of clicks every single day, and that's the key.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: It's every single day. You know, there's only one day
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a week where there isn't one, and that's Monday because
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: there's no games on Sunday, so Monday is usually reserved
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for a lot of graphics, players of the week, stat leaders,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. So so yeah, it's it's it's it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: wide open right there, and if someone wants to jump
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: on it, you know, get a hold of.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Me, Tyler. We got a lot of stuff to talk
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: about here. We've got we got boys wrestling, We've got
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: girls wrestling. We're gonna talk just a small bit about
• 3:10

  Speaker 2: So let's get right into it with boys wrestling. No
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: no meets going on during the week, but there were
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: some Saturday tournaments. Again, I feel like we've kind of
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: said the same thing for a couple of weeks now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: but yeah, so we'll start with the boy's side here.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: And on Saturday, there was a tournament out at Everett
• 3:42

• 6:14
  Speaker 1: pounds Ryu Robertson Ryu Roberson of Linden took second place.

  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty seven pounds.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Tyler Jaden Riley of Linden took third place, and Joe
• 6:31

  Speaker 2: Joe Jordan, what a name? One hundred and sixty five pounds.

  Speaker 1: Wyatt Freeman of Mount Baker took first place.

  Speaker 1: John Johnston of Linden took second place, and Gunner McGrath

  Speaker 1: of Linden took fourth place.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And the last, but certainly not least, but the largest
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty five pounds to other.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jeremiah Sheridan of Mount Baker took third place.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Let's talk at girls wrestling Saturday. Again, No no meets
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: or anything, no duels, but there were some some tournaments
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and a big one down in Kent, Washington at the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Gut Check, which is done at the Showwear Center where
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team plays. And it's a big venue.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know, sixty two hundred or something.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: People so big, big time event down there. And when
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I say there was a lot of teams, there was
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of teams. There was like ninety six teams
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that sent a wrestler for boys, and then like I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: think it was like seventy five or seventy eight that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: sent at least one wrestler for girls. I didn't even
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: put what place Squalkumb finish, because it's almost ridiculous because
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like Squalcumb only sent I believe, the one wrestler, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: so that's kind of what it is. So the team
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: numbers really don't matter as much. So I didn't even
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: put it on here, but I want to say they
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: were like forty eighth out of the seventy eight or
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: something like. It's crazy, but at one hundred and thirty
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: pounds though, there was a fourth place finisher.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Claire Hume of Squalkum took fourth place. And then
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you talk about that many wrestlers, you know, you and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I were talking off the air about some wrestlers that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: had won like four matches in a row and still
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: didn't even place. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. You know, that's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a loaded bracket. That's a lot of wrestlers, so to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: place in a tournament like that is really impressive.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't remember what weight class it was I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: looked at, but there was there was one where it
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: was like a I want to say it was like
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: maybe even a local wrestler where it was like, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: won two matches and then lost one and then one
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: like three in a row, and then lost another one
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: was and was gone. Didn't even in place. You're like,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: how did he not place? He won five matches, Like
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: that's crazy that he won that many and didn't even place.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, it's just some of these tournaments
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: are just huge, you know, but that also speaks to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the you know, overall competitiveness. You know, when you have
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that many teams and they're not all sending everybody. They're just,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: for the most part, from what I could tell, they're
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: just kind of sending their best guys, you know. So, yeah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: big time tournament down there at the show Or Center.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: The only other one going on was the Wooly Women's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Wrestling tournament down there at Siedgroll Wooly High School. A
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: lot of teams in this one, I want to say,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: it was something like thirty three or thirty four teams. Uh,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Siedgroll Woolly takes home the championship with three hundred and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: sixty four points. Uh A lot of points, Yeah, especially
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: when you're talking about girls where a lot of teams
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: don't necessarily fill out, you know, an entire roster. So
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: they must have not only filled it out all the way,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: but they had to have some some other ones. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: would I would think maybe a couple of extras. Yeah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: But Lake Stevens they finished second with two seventy three,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and then Oak Harbor finished third with two thirty six.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Teams from from the county. Blaine finishes eighth, Linden fourteenth,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker eighteenth, Squalicum twenty third, Meridian twenty sixth, Nooksack
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Valley twenty seventh, and then Seahome finishes twenty ninth. Let's
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: talk about some of the placers here, Tyler. How about
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: we go one hundred and five pounds.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, McKenna last year of Blaine.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Took first place one hundred and ten. Ana Camacho of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker took fourth place.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And that's a she's a good one. So her place
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and fourth that says a little something about that bracket. Yeah, absolutely,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: that's a tough one there. How about one hundred and
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: fifteen pounds.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlie Eggert of Seaholme took fourth place as well.

  Speaker 2: help us out here on Walkom Preps. And in terms
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: of it can be really really hard to get times
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and one of the local coaches has done a tremendous
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: job of setting up would you tell me it was
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a spreadsheet that kind of like keeps track of everything.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just keeping track of just the Walking County top
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: times and distance you know, and everything for all the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: different events and and yeah, it's just been a huge
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: help because if I have any question about anything, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: could always go to that coach and get the correct
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: information that I that I know I can trust.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is huge. I mean we have to have,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you know, some sports, it's just I mean, wrestling, I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: think is another perfect example where it's hard to get
• 13:57

  Speaker 2: two and six.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they all played one game. They all lost their
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: their game. Bellingham lost out or at home, I should say,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: against Nooksack Valley Pioneers are still pretty strong. Seaholm lost
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a heartbreaker to Anta Chordis. They were up early, it
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: was close down down the stretch. Uh Ana Cordis just
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: hit a shot with like two seconds to go, one
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and a half seconds to go, and that was that.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, what a great game.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Sea Holm is very very young, and they've played some
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: really tough teams. So the four and six record is
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit deceiving. I think I think they have
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a really good chance of finishing above five hundred.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Blaine, you know, bless their hearts, they are is.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It's been it's been tough because man, they try so hard,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: but they're just they're learning the game. Yeah, I mean
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: everybody out there, for the most part is hasn't played
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: since junior high and and and they I it's it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: crazy because they hustle so hard and they go after
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: every loose ball and they do all the right things,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: but it's finding open shots and then it's been tough.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And then when they have an open shot, it's just
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: been hard to hit it. And you know, it's just
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I hope that they're not discouraged because it doesn't seem
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like it because they play so hard, you know, they
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: they you know, it's it's it's tricky, but they're they're
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: gonna keep fighting and it's a really tough conference.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: They're gonna play all these teams. And I mean they got.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Lynden Christian this week. I mean, I you know, I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: don't know how that's gonna go. But you know, they're
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: just gonna go out there and play them and just
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: see how it goes, you know, And that's just the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: way it goes.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Right now. Uh, Moving up a little bit here, let's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: talk Squalkomb Ferndale both four and five, Mount Baker five
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and four, and Knuckzack Valley seven and three.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Knickzack Valley is starting to kind of, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: do some really good things. Ten games in, they're halfway
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: through the regular season at seven and three. I'm I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: think they're doing better than I expect it. I think
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of other people expected some big things because
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: you know, the two times state champion and all that,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: but you lost a lot of talent. But there's some
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: really good players that came back. And I tell you that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, the coaching is so great with Shane Shane Wickers,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and he you know, he does such an amazing job.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: He's been doing it for twenty nine years and and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: he's seen it all.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: So it really shouldn't be much of a surprise.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker. They lost to Meridian in a what was
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a pretty close game of Meridian jumped out early and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker made a surge in the fourth quarter, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it just wasn't enough and then Meridian hit their foul
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: shots and that's what that's what it takes. I was
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: out there for that one. But you know, Mount Baker
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: is much improved from last year. So good to see
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: them still above five hundred. Squalkham and Ferndale both got
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: big wins this week. Both put up fifty points. Uh
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: squalk em beating Blaine, Ferndale beating Lakewood.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, squalk them.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: They are a lot like Seahome, very very similar, where
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a young, young team. I think they're going to finish
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: above five hundred, and it's a team that we're going
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: to be talking about the next couple of years because
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I think they're just going to improve greatly the next
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: few years. They like I said, loaded with sophomores and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: really really really exciting brand, very fast basketball, a lot
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of players that have played together for a long time
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in Ferndale. Ferndale is you know. They they like to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: shoot some They liked a lot. They like to shoot
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of threes. They'll play kind of like one
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: forward and four guards, and Jillia Fox down there as
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the forward will pick up a lot of rebounds and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: score a lot of points. I think she had like
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: seventeen points and seventeen rebounds in that game against Lakewood,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And she's kind of doing all the stuff down low
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: where and everyone else is shooting, and sometimes it works
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: really really well, and they play really good defense as well.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Last four to talk about here, we've got Meridian and
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Lynnon Christian both eight and two, Lamy Nation eight and three,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: and then Lyndon's still undefeated twelve to zero.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Meridian, they look, they look great this year.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And I you know, I talked to their coach before
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the season started and they had so many returning players
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: this year that have been kind of been getting, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a little beat up the last couple of years by
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the Knickxac Valleys and Lenden Christians to where it was
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: just kind of like almost demoralizing. And but they they
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: returned a lot, and it was I just said, you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it's about knowing that you can do this and you
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: can win games. And for them to be eight and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: two has been awesome. Uh, they look really really good.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: They've got like eight or nine girls that you can't
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: leave them open outside and when you have so many shooters,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: someone's going to be open.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: And they do a really good job.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: They play great as a team, and uh, you know
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they don't they don't have a starter that averages double figures.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's and that's to.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Be eight and two and not have that, that shows
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you how great of a that the team concept is.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So they do have a player coming off the bench
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that averages double figures. So it's really it's really interesting
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to see that dynamic and how you know, uh, when
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Melanie Short comes in she can kind of attack the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: other teams like second unit and she can you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: she's really good. She's just a freshman. But you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: we talked a lot about her and volleyball, right, so
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: we know how good of an athlete she is. Lenny Christian, Uh,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: those two losses that they had this year were at
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that really difficult tournament that they hosted. They beat Burlington
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Edison earlier this week, which is a great great test
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: for them. That Burlington Edison girls team is is a team.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: That is that is you could say, has got.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: A pretty decent chance of making the state tournament in
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the two way. So for Lenny Christian to go down
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: there and and beat them that was that was pretty
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: impressive and get them by double digits. And Lenny Christian,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I mean obviously they're always yeah, they're always pretty darn good. Uh.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Let me Nation had a couple of close, you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: some tough games at that that Mount Vernon Christian tournament.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I was there for the for day one of that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It was kind of was a round robin, so it
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't really a tournament. You're slated to play three games.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: You know who you're gonna play. Everybody plays everybody you like,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you know who you're gonna play which day and with
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: time and everything. But the one game that they did win,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it was against Cross Point Academy. There's so many schools
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that I'm learning about for the first time. It's pretty
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: crazy and it was amazing. It was tied at fifty
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to fifty with twelve seconds to go. Lemon Nation has
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the ball that they're coming out of a time out.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: They got to inbound it and go the full court,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: but you got twelve seconds.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You got time and Cross Points playing a full court
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: press and everything, and they get the ball, you know,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: across half court and times running down and their garden heavily.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And the nice thing about it is when it's tied,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like, well, you know, if we missed
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the shot, at least we're going overtime. It's like you're
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: kind of in a pretty good spot there. And and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Brianna Mattiba had the ball and she's been known it's
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: so fun watching your play basketball because if she's driving
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to the hoop on the left side, she'll put up
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like a ten foot runner left handed. She's a right
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: handed player, but she's really really good at using the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: left hand, like just really really good. And she's kind
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of on the left wing and she's being guarded heavily
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: on the left side, so she so she did kind
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: of that runner move from the from from three point
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: so we're talking from twenty something feet out. She did
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: that runner and she put it up. She put it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: up with her left hand and made it with with
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: as at the bes the buzzer went off, and I
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I equate that too, like you know, if a quarterback
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: threw a gaming touchdown left handed when he's a right
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: handed quarterback. And it was awesome. I mean I watched
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that replay so many times. I mean I might and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I weld up because it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Was just such a cool play.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: And then I saw so many different angles of it
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: on social media, and and you know, she's probably the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: fourth option on that team. It's a really good team,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: but just it was so cool for her to hit
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: that shot. I mean, it was the way the whole
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: team ran out there, and it was it was an
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: amazing shot because she's not left handed.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was just so cool to see.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: So but they played some really good they played some
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: really good teams out there and went went one and two.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: The first game.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: They lost to Bellevue Christian by you know, about twenty
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: points and that bell you Christians loaded.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Uh, they are amazing.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: And and then they and then they beat cross Point
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and then they lost to is it is it pronounced Petero's.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Potero's the Billy Goats, Yeah, the Billy Goats. That
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: was girls or the Billy Jills, Oh, something like that.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I can't remember for the Jilly Goats. So, but you
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: know it was it was good, good competition.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: They didn't play during the week before, so it was
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: good to get three games in and then Lynden girls,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, holy cow, I don't know who's going to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: stop them. But the thing is that when you look
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: at the state wide two A there's some really really
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: good teams and and I you know, with Ellen's Burr
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and at Deer Park now moving up there are that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you know a lot of people have been telling me, like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: just the price of admission to state this year is
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: gonna be worth it just to watch the two A girls.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a loaded bracket.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Linden looks great beating Mount Vernon sixty to nineteen. Peyton
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Mills had eighteen, Finley Partcher had seventeen Keky York, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: think at eleven, so it was you know, it was
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: kind of business as usual for Linden and they are
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: looking really good now at twelve and zero.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: That is a recap of the standings and kind of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: what went on last week. Tyler. Let's talk about the
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: stat leaders, and the stat leaders are brought Davey Acceleration
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Driving School in Linden. Give them a call. Three six
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: zero seven, four to six, four, five, six seven. We've
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: got one two, three, four, five six seven eight different
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: stats to talk about here, Tyler, and we will start
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: with points per game.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Finley Partcher of Lindon is now at twenty two
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: point seven points a game. I tell you, you get
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: into the twenties. That's incredible. And we have a couple
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: players in the girls basketball that are over twenty right
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: now and Finley Parks are just edging out. Rebecca Sorez
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: from Aunt Baker.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Rebounds per game, Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Grace Dhoague still holding onto that sixteen point two rebounds
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a game, and again, a very very incredible number there.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: About to say, like fifteen is absolutely crazy, Like you
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: get double digits, that's really really good. Yeah, definitely if
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: she's at sixteen point two on an average. My goodness,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: assists per game.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Lexi Robbins of Squalicum, that exciting brand of basketball. Just
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: a sophomore, one of the fastest players I've seen with
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the ball in her hands. Part does a great job
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of getting her teammates involved. She's at four point six
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: assists per game. How about steals per game?
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Jemma James of lem Me Nation, just a sophomore as well,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: just a dynamic player. Going against some better talent this week.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: So she went down from I think seven point three
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: steals per game, which is crazy, down to five point seven,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: but she's still leading the county, which is really impressive.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Blocks per game yeah, Aspen barged, she was averaging two
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: blocks a game from Sea Home. She had one game
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: against Na Quarters and she had two blocks again, So
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: she's still averaging two blocks a game.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Field goal percentage. Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Alison Shoemate from Lyndon Christian.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You know, she was such a big time for us
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: as like a power forward last year on that team
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and now is a senior, really really good at you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: offensive footbacks, and she's not going to try anything outside
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: of her range, which I think is really smart.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: You got a lot of.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Shooters on that Linden Christian Links team. Or she can
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: play down low, she's averaging, or she's her field goal
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: percentage of sixty two and a half percent, so she
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that is, that is getting the job done in the paint.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I can't think of anything that I do at a
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: sixty two and a half percent, you know, three point percentage, Tyler.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you should look at your phone right now. Mine
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: says it's at ninety percent.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Not bad. Yeah, Actually, you know it's crazy, Tyler. I
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: got this new phone and I charged it. I charged
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: it up to one hundred percent yesterday at like noon,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: and that's when I took it off. I'm still way high.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Like I haven't really used my phone a whole lot,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: but it actually says I have enough battery life to
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: get me till seven am tomorrow.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Isn't that great about a new phone? Is?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: It's crazy? I was like when I looked at it
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: this morning when I woke up, it said like eleven
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: PM to night and I was like, wow, like that's
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: like a day and a half. And then I'm looking
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: at it just now. When you said that, it was
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: like Wow, I'm still way up there. What do we
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: got left? Three point percentage?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, three point percentage Daniel Dykster of Lenny Christian. She
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: actually missed a few, so she's down to fifty percent
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: now on the season, sixteen of her thirty two attempts
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: have gone in from deep.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And last we've got free throw percentage. Yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: A new name here on this list from last week, Finleyparture.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Now at eighty two point six percent. She's attempted forty
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: six free throws. She's only missed eight of them.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So talk about the complete player, and you don't you
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: don't you know?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You do?
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: You put do everything that you can to defend her,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden she goes to the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: line and she's probably gonna make him so a really
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: impressive player again.
• 28:23

  Speaker 2: three six zero six, seven to one thirty three eighty one.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Let's go here, Tyler. We got the the standings and
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: the the week that was here, and we will start
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: with Squalicum four and five, Knoksack Valley four and five,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Ferndale four and five, See Home four and six, and
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Blaine at two and six.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, a couple of these teams played each other,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Squalum and Blaine.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I was at that game, really really competitive all the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: way throughout. It was a lot of fun to see.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I love watching you know two teams that are that
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: matchup well, that are both Walkam County teams. Squalicum got
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: them by eight point sixty four to fifty six on
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the road against Blaine. Blaine hadn't played in a while.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think they played. They didn't play at all
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: last week, and they're you know, the week before they
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: weren't in any tournaments or anything. But uh, they looked
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: they look pretty good. Uh it's you know, Squalicum just
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: kind of out athleted them at times, and and sometimes
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: that's just what it takes. Squalicum go on a three
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: game winning streak right now, and I think that, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: earlier when we were looking at their record, it was
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: just kind of weird to see. But I think that
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: they're gonna kind of get on a little bit of
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: a role here.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: They just have too much talent to be sitting at
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: you know, at below five hundred.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Nuksac Valley lost another close one. They lost to Bellingham
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: at home. Put up a ton of points, but you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: they just they gave up too many points.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Cayden hooting.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: When Cayden Hughtink went off for twenty seven points, seven assists, Uh,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: he was nine for ten from the foul line. It
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: just it just wasn't enough at home against the BayHawks,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: who really shot the ball well. I think they made
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: close to ten three point or something like that. Ferndale
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: lost a tough one to Lakewood. Lakewood is a really,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: really good team and when they get hot, they can
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: shoot the lights out. And that's what happened in the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: first quarter. Ferndo just couldn't recover in that one.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Uh, see home lost.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Anna cordis good to see Cole Terrell back out there now.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So they that's what they need. They need some size
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: down low, which has been huge. They got Andre Watson
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to come out play a little defense.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Uh. They they just.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Needed bodies, they needed athletes.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: And so all of a sudden, you can bring a
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: couple of guys like that out there that can really
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: help this awesome coaching. Of course with with with Craig Jackson,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: so our Brad Jackson, I'm sorry. So it's you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I think that once they start, you know, being more
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: of a cohesive unit with the new guys and stuff
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: like that, Uh, they're gonna win some really some really
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: close games. But now sitting in a couple of games
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: below five hundred, let's.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Talk right in the middle of the pack here, Bellingham
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: six and four, Mount Baker five and four.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, belling and beating Nukxac Valley was huge for them.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: It kind of kind of gives them a little bit
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: of an upper hand there. But they're gonna they have
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: some tough TWOA opponents. They're they're gonna be looking at soon.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: You know, Joe Harvard and King and Kaid van Houton
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: both over seventeen points a game. You get whenever you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: have two guys that are over seventeen points a game
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: in high school, uh, that's a that's a huge thing
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: you have to deal with. And then in that game
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: against Nooksac Valley gave Ben Hofwagen and Harmon Winkers both
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: had sixteen points.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: You know, they had sixteen points each. They both hit
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: a bunch of.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Threes, and so you start spreading it out like that,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and it's like, man, they can they can go off.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: King kid van Hooton had thirty points in that game.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Even though he's six foot six, he can play like
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a guard. He can shoot outside. So you gotta be
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: ready for that. And he and he did an awesome
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: job at you know, scoring and just.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Keeping and it was steady.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I mean he had at least seven points in each
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: quarter so to do that and finished with thirty that's
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: a that's pretty impressive. That's very steady throughout the game.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker lost to Meridian. That was, you know, Meridan
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: just they came out with a one three one zone
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and they really pressed hard, and all of a sudden,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: a bunch of there were some turnovers and easy buckets
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and it was before you know it, it was you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: eight to nothing. You got to call time out and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: if Baker just couldn't really recover from that. You know,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: they did pretty well in the second and third quarters
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: and they got the game with an eight, but then
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they just couldn't hold on. I think they only scored
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: three points in the entire fourth quarter on a three
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: pointer from Kel reared and believe or not, I think
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: it was his first firsty three pointer.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: He was kind of.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Holding the ball out there all alone, and you could
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: hear people.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Kind of go shoot it, shoot it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a center. I mean, he does not
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: shoot threes. And he shot it and he made it
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and got a big ovation. But I think those were
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the only three points bount Baker had in the fourth quarter.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: And it was just tough against a really, really good
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Meridian squad, but still sitting above five hundred.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Lastly, here we've got Meridian, who you were just talking about.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: They are eight and two, Lynnen Christian ten and one,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Lemy Nation eleven and one, and Lyndon very much like
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the girls side ten and oh they are undefeated.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty pretty impressive.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Meridian at eight and two, that's pretty that's kind of
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: what I what I expected. You know, they had that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: loss earlier in the year against Seahome, which was unexpected.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: But sometimes teams need that to kind of see you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: coaches love games like that, especially if it's early on
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: in the year. You could say, you know, okay, so
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you think you're great, this is what can happen now.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: So you gotta you gotta tighten everything up and and
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: you gotta you know, run things the right way and.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: And the Meridian right now is looking pretty darn good.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: And again they have a couple of guys that are
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: averaging over seventeen points a game as well. So talk
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: about those dynamic duos they got with Talon Jenkins and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Jager Fife. Uh, you know, just crazy good. Jager Fife
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: hit a hit like a shot at the end of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the first quarter against Mount Baker that was probably from
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: twenty six twenty seven feet out right just dead on,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, straight ahead and nailed it. And
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: they give them that twenty two to ten advantage after
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the first quarter and they just rode that the rest
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: of the way. Talon Jenkins, I think, had eighteen points
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: and sixteen rebounds in that game. So those guys together
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: are really playing off each other.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Lynnon Christian beat a really good Brilliington Edison team by
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: nineteen points. Gannon Dykes Show had thirty three. I mean,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: he's just having an incredible year. I think he also
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: had thirteen rebounds and nine as sists. I mean, he's
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: flirting with a triple double every single time he's playing
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: out there. There was a couple slam dunks from Dawson Heinz,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: who might be six feet.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Tall and he it can fly.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: The first one was, you know it was it was
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a steal and a breakaway and it's kind of in
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the middle of the game and so you make sure
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you want to put it down and he did.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: The second one was late.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: In the game, so he gave the crowd a big
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: time thrill with a windmill dunk. Just incredible to see
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: from a six foot sophomore he can just elevate like crazy.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: So you add that because.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: He hadn't been playing, started playing a week ago, you know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, So you just add that
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to the already great team that they have and it's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: it's pretty scary. At the one A level, Lemon Nation
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: did awesome and that tournament down to Mount Vernon Christian.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I saw them in the first game, and that game
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: was it was tough. I think they won it by
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: like three or four points against Bellevue Christian, who I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: saw Meridian play, but Bellevue Christian beat him by like
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: thirty So let me kind of struggled in that one
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit. They were missing a lot of shots.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: They did not shoot well at all. I think they
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: shot under thirty percent, but still found.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: A way to win, which is huge.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: So it really shows you that they're doing the little things.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: And then they went off and you know, won by
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty thirty points the next two games. So
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what I expect out of the
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Blackhawks now. After watching them a bunch. Now, I feel
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: like I've even though I've seen the film on every
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: but I feel like I've really seen them the most.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know why it seems that way, but maybe
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: it's because they really just play a small handful of players.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: So I see them a lot on the court, and
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: they're starting to get guys back. Carson Reeve just came back.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Andrew Tangent played in his first game in that third
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: game of the tournament, so he's back. Now they only
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: get once they get Tony Abrams back. Finally, for the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: first time all year, have their full roster available, and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: it's a full roster of.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Like nine guys. It's not a ton of guys.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So it's you know, they're only going to get better,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: which is really incredible. And then Lynden they played earlier
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: in the week before the new year against Archbishop Murphy.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: At a home game.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Kind of an interesting game to schedule there, just a
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: non league game playing it at home right on the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: thirtieth I was at that one. They took care of
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: business there. And then the second one that happened Saturday,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: they beat Mount Vernon seventy six to fifty three. Brent
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Hepner went off for thirty nine points. And I mean
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: these last couple of games, they are for a little while. Now,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. They haven't had Jack Stapleton, who
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: it was kind of him and Hepner were the two
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: guys with the big time first TAKS experience coming into
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: this year and so you and they're both you know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: six ' six, So you lose one guy and so
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a lot is put on Hepner. And in that first
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: game against Archbishop, they didn't have their point guard, they
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: didn't have Gordy Bedlington, so you saw Hepner bringing the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: ball up a bunch and he's doing so many different
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: things and he's carrying them on those huge shoulders of
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: his and he's doing an amazing job. But to score
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: thirty nine points against Mount Vernon, who I think Mount
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Vernon beat them last year by one point, so this
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: was a good, nice little revenge game. And you know,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: coach Van Dalen texted me and he was telling me
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: about it and he's like, I don't think the Linden
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: players scored this many points since the eighties.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: You know. We were thinking, like, I think Todd Lattenbach hit.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Forty two, Eric Peterson had forty four, and I was like,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I think you're right, you know, so that's a that's
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: an incredible performance by him and and I was getting
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: a tech. I got multiple texts saying that Heppner scored
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: thirty nine points. As I was making I was I
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: was making Christmas cookies. So I actually made Brent Heppner
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: thirty nine point Christmas cookie and I put it on
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Instagram and just wanted to see how that would go.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: And it had more likes than anything I posted in weeks,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: So you just never know. I was, you know, joking
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: with that with miss Walking preps. I was like, I
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: was like, look, look look how many views it as now.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And she's like, yeah, it's crazy. Can you can put
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: anything up and you're gonna get a lot of views?
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I said, well, it's something different. But what he did
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: in that game was really impressive and shot really well too.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I think he made something like six three pointers, and
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: he made all his free throw attempts and had a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: bunch of rebounds and blocks. And he's just a great
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: player and he's a great leader, and you know, you
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: and I both know what kind of kid he is.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty impressive that both these Lenden teams are
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: still undefeated.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see you post a picture of just
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: your thumb, you know what. I mean like a thumb's up,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: you know, like just just your hand against the wall
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: with the thumbs up and see how many likes you
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: get on that. Yeah, what would if you were betting man,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: what would you set the over under at Tyler?
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: I would set the over under at forty nine and
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: No, you did more than that.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: You know what's crazy? You know what gets the least
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: amount of likes? Huh every time we put up that
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: a new podcast is up.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: You know why, because you're they're sick of seeing our faces.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of looks the same every time, so
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: they're probably thinking they've seen it.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Either that or.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: They just go straight there go oh and they go
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: straight to the things so they can listen to it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: They don't even think about liking it. They just or
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: that or because I take you I'm not quite sure
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: what it is yet.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I mean our numbers are good
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: on the podcast, I can tell you that much.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: So oh yeah, no, I'm not worried about it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're doing pretty good.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Not a lot of people looking at the UH at
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: it on UH on Instagram, you know what I mean?
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: No, No, you're right, all right?
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: That is it? For the UH for the recap and
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: the what's going on in the standings? Again, thank you
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: to most Seri Construction and to Edilne Darry for that.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Let's talk stat leaders, Tyler, and again Acceleration Driving School
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: and lyndon their phone number three six zero seven four
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: six four five six seven. You got to know somebody
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: who needs to learn how to drive. It may it
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: might even be mom or Dad. You might as well
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: give Acceleration Driving to School a call and get that
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: going today. Tyler, how bow do we start with points
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: per game? Yeah?
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: And again with a lot of these teams just playing
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: one game, the movement isn't crazy, and the elimination played
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: three games, so it's a little bit of movement there.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Linen did play two. Gannon Dykster had the big game.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: He jumps up to twenty five point three points a game.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Lennon Christian's boy. They've had some
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: great players, but I don't know if they've ever had
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: a player average this many points for an entire season.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Of course, we're halfway through the regular season, so we'll
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: have to see if you can keep it up. But
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Gannon Dykster right now.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Is just he's just he's.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Just a terror.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: He's hotter than a pistol. Tyler, He's hotter.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Than a pistol. Twenty five point three points a game.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: That is really really tough to do.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Rebounds per game.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Ken Kaid van Hooton of blak A Bellingham just under
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: ten rebounds a game at nine point nine.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta find a way to get him
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: one or two more here there to I mean nine
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: point nine that's brutal. Yeah, but he.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Did break the tie. He was tied with Caden Veldman
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: at the top. But yeah, out rebounded him this week.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: So now he's got that by himself. How about assist
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: per game?
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jerome Toby, who gave us the intro seven point
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: three assists per game. And I tell you what, Holy cow,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: if I was putting together, like, you know, an eight
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: man rotation of just Walking County kids, he would be
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: in that. I don't It does not matter, you know,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: in the competition that he's playing.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Against or anything.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: He is so good and he's so good at finding
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: and leading his teammates.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: To the hoop.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It's is it is really really impressive.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, how about we stick with him and talk
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: about steels per game.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's now the leader four point four steels a game.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Stole that from Marcus Nixon if if you will, had
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a great, great tournament where he was having like seven
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: or eight steals a game in that Mount Burning Classic.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And he's really good at He's not big, he's about
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: about five to seven, but he'll play low to the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: ground and then all of a sudden, when he sees
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a pass and I think he can get, he just
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: jumps up in the air and catches it, like right
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: on his chest. It's like, holy cow, where did he
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: come from? And I remember watching remember Jason Williams. They
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: called him white Chocolate for you know he I mean,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: he was known for his great passing and all that
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: stuff and his deep shooting, but when you watch him,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: he would do that on defense. He could just sit
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: there and hunch down and then jump up and just
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: kind of come out of nowhere and catching and it's
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: like whoa Like. I remember him doing that against the
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Sonics all the time. I was like, man, you don't
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: know that guy's there. You just don't know he can
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: jump the high or something. And that reminds me a
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: lot of what Jerometoby does with lemonation.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Uh how about blocks per game?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jack Stapleston still sitting at two point three blocks
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: a game, hasn't played in a couple of weeks, but still.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Has enough to qualify.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: So I really hope.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: That he can come back and add to his totals
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: because in his senior year, that's just something you want
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: to see. You want to see the best players play,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: and he's one of the best players in the county.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: And it appears to me as though this one just
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: continues to drop. I mean, this guy is just getting
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: brutal as the season goes. But field goal percentage, Tyler.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Brady Ackerman dropped down to eighty point six percent.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: He was seven for nine this week in shooting, so
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: that actually dropped his field goal percentage, as crazy as
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: that sounds. So yeah, but man, once he gets the ball,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: you know, in and around the close to the hoop,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: especially in the key, he just has so many moves
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: and he's so strong, and you don't see guys that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: big that are that athletic. And then he's just got
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: a really soft touch and he knows how to use
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the glass and yeah, he just he makes it look
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: easy and it's great to see him back too, recovering
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: from a hamstring injury. And that was another fun thing
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: about this week as there was a lot of players
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: that either hadn't played all year that are finally playing
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: back from injury. You know, Cole Terrell and Andrew Tangent
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: and Jet Ross out of Mount Baker and a lot
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: of these guys that hadn't played all year and now
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: they are playing. And then you're getting guys that are
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: coming back from an injury like Brady Akerman. I just
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, I really hope you know Stapleton
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: can come back soon.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: How about three point percentage?
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dawson heinz a Linnen Christian. He kind of came
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: in there last week and as he started playing last
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: week and he was like forty three point nine percent
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: or something like that, and then even shot better this week,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: so he up to his percentage to near fifty percent.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: He's at forty seven point four percent. You know, he
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: had those two monster dunks, but he and all he
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: can really shoot it from the outside as well.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: And the lastly we've got free throw percentage.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's our guy. Joana Brolowski from Ferndale, the big
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: senior still doing a great job there. He was four
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: for four this week, so that up to his percentage
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: to two percent. You know, I mean, go to NBA
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: dot com right now, people and and see if there's
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: any NBA guys to a shooting ninety two percent right now?
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not, maybe Steph Curry, maybe Trey Young. There's
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: not a lot of guys that are up in that range.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Uh So it's really impressive to see a six to
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: six kid do with that. So the big man with
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: some great touch.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: I got it right here, Tyler. Okay, of course you
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: do free throw percentage on the season, and we got
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: to have a guy that's played some games. It is
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Steph Curry with the highest and uh he has attempted.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Of course, this is how dumb they are. He attempts.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: It says here he attempts three point four per game.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Why they wouldn't just give you the whole number. I
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: have no idea, But he attempts three point four per game,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: and he's hitting now at a ninety two point three percent. Oh,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: there is at least one two point three percent higher
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: one two three four. There are six guys in the
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: NBA over ninety percent Steph Curry and Damian Lillard are
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: the only two I've ever heard of. Darius Garland and
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Forty Simmons, Jalen Suggs. I think Suggs might have played
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: at Gonzaga. Yes, he did say that name. I guess
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: I do recognize. And then I don't even know how
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: you say this name Jay Jonas j O n A S.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: And then the last name is Valais. Yeah maybe, I mean,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but there's actually quite a few guys
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: at night eighty nine are above like pretty surprisingly no names.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I mean I recognize some of these names, but no
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: names that have any local ties that I see. Victor Wemenya,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: how about that guy. He's pretty and huge shooting at
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: eighty seven point nine from.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're that tall and have that kind of touch,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and that's I'm not saying. Jonah Bolowski is the Victor
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: winn Banyama of Wakham County. But he is a six
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: to six kid with long arms and really really good
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: touch and so really impressive to see him shooting. I
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: think he's twenty three for twenty five at the line,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: so that's you know, that's getting the job done. And
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: he's and he plays a lot inside. You know, he's
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: getting to the foul line a lot he's you know,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and so that's really really impressive.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Uh. That is stats for boys basketball. Tyler. Again, thank
• 48:22

  Speaker 2: with the girls side. Tyler, who is the Anytime Fitness
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Girls Basketball Player of the Week.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Well, there's some there were some great numbers that were
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: put up. Peyton Bartell had a big game, Finleyparcher and
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Peyton Mills. Rebecca Suarez almost you know, I think she
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: had like twenty nine and thirteen in her game. But
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: when I look at you know, even the elimination went
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: one and two. During the week, I just I keep
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: going back to that game winning shot that Brian and
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Mattiba put up. It was just an awesome and you
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: know what it was so great about her too, was
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I was there for the first day and the girls
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: game and the girls game played first, they've had like
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: a ten am game and then and I've never been
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: to Melbourne and Christians for my first time to that school.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: It was pretty cool.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: And then the boys followed right after, so it was
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a great one too. And she came out and for
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: the boys game and was one of the cheerleaders.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Oh that's funny, Like I've never I've never seen that before, right,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: but that's small school basketball, right.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: And the cool the funny thing was is there was
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: a Lumbie player that was called for three in the
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: key and and I'm standing like pretty close to the
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: cheerleaders and so I can kind of hear them talking,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: and of course they all ask her what just happened?
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Why did the other team have the ball now? And
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: she's explaining that, you know, if if we have the
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: if we have the ball and there's a player on
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: our side that's in it's in the blue area for
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: two for over three seconds straight and the referee season
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: then that's a that's a penalty. And it's so funny
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: because she's explaining to the cheerleaders the basketball rules, which
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: was so awesome, and I just thought, how cool is that,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Like she's out there, she's play she plays like ninety
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: of the minutes and then she and then she you know,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: goes back in put some makeup, bunk, comes out in
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: the cheerleading outfit and boom, now now she's a cheerleader.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: I just thought that was awesome and so uh so
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: all around. Uh Player of the week for Anytime Fitness

• 50:38
  Speaker 2: the Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball Player of the Week.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, had to go with Brent Heppner. I mean, Jerome
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Toby had an awesome week. He had a great three games.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: But what Heppner's had to do without Jack Stapleton there
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: on the inside. I know Tyd Jorgensen's played well, and
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Spencer Adams and Malachi Bowman and some of these guys,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: but he has taken a lot more responsibility on and
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: he's doing such a great job with it. Having that
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: thirty nine point game was huge. So Brent Epner of
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Linden is your Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball Player.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Of the Week.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: And again, thank you to Anytime Fitness and Linden, Linden
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: North and Ferndale for their sponsorship of Watkin. Perhaps Tyler,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: let's wrap it up with some of the things you're
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: looking forward to this week. And I see, what do
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: I see here? I see a boys and a girls
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: basketball game, and then I see a kind of a
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: wild night down at Anna Cortus for wrestling.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so on Monday night, Lyndon Christian at Meridian. I
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: think this is gonna be awesome. I mean, I think.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Elsie would be favored.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: But I tell you what, when they played each other
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: in the district tournament last year, there was something about
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the way Meridian played them. It's like they played them
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: the way to beat them, if that makes sense, Like
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: they knew what to do to beat them. They just
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: couldn't they just and they probably should have. I think
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: they were up in the second half. And but you know,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: when you got a couple of d one foot players
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: in the post, it's kind of tough sometimes at the
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: one A level. But they don't have those guys this year.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: They're they're a little different team. They're a little faster,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: they like to shoot a bunch. You know that a
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: lot of guys that can shoot it, and and I
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: think in Meridian, you know, there's just something about them,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: and they're playing at home. I think this could be
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: a really really good game. I think Elsie will be favored,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: like I said, but Meridian will give them a heck
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: of a test. So that'll be Monday night at seven
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: fifteen at Meridian. On Friday night, like you said, out
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: down to Anacordis a lot of good teams here. Sea Home,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Ferndale and Blaine will all go down there for boys wrestling.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Seahome and Annaccordas will kick it off at six o'clock
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: and then Ferndale and Blaine will follow at six forty five.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: That's going to be an awesome match Ferndale versus Blaine,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: two really high end level wrestling programs. And at seven
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: thirty Ferndale and a Cordis and then eight to fifteen
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Sea Home and Blaine. So yeah, yeah, a lot of
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: good wrestling down there down to Anna Chordish.
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: With some big time schools.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: And then on Saturday, it's kind of I almost want
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: to say, not back to the future night, but it's
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: gonna be two teams that are very young right now
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: that we'll be talking about a lot the next couple
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: of years. Mount Baker at Squalicum girls basketball tip off
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: is at six o'clock. I think that's the big I
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: think that's the first of a doubleheader of girls boys.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: But I love this girls matchup here because when you
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: start looking at the key players on both sides, you know,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Rebecca Sores and Rhys Brown and and uh, I mean
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: there's they're all underclassmen, that's the thing. And then on Squalicum,
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: you know, they're all this there, all those sophomores Tianna
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Thompson and Lexi Robbinson and Carl Keisou and Addison Kentman
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: and and then you know Kye Kye Perez is a freshman,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: and it's like these two teams really could be battling
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: for a while, and you know, really excited to see
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and I think and I think they're very even. I
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a really good game too, And that's,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of what I'm looking for. So so yeah,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: really really excited about that matchup. Mount Baker also has
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of really young guards, a couple of freshmen
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: guards that they start, Kalin Abedia and Ryan Harkness.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: So there's there's.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Just a lot of youth there, a lot of energy,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be a really really good game.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: And games at Skalkambre just are just cool. I just
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: like that gym a lot. I don't I don't know
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: what it is. I would get a good vibe when
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I'm there, too, So it's kind of fun. Saturday night.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Uh be worth checking out the doubleheader, Tyler.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: I just want to say something really quickly, And I
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: know you don't like it when I go off like this,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: but it's okay, Friday. The wrestling that's going on down
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: to Anna Chordus. Now, I understand the the money side
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: of things, and you know, there's a lot of times
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: where these these teams they don't have enough wrestlers and
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: so it's like, you know, you'd show up and wrestle
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: five matches and then and you know, maybe you're done,
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: you know type of thing. So like I understand the
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: money side of things. But Ferndale Blaine, with those two
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: schools being as close as they are to each other
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: and being very good wrestling programs, that's got to be
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: a one off. Those two guys, like they need to
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: be you know, under the under the light, you know
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Like Ferndale Blaine, Like, are you kidding me.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: That needs to be its own night, you know, like
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't. I mean, and even if it's not,
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: that needs to be at Ferndale or Blaine, you know
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like it just does like that, man,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: like the atmosphere that could be for that would be awesome, Yeah,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: you know, as opposed to what it's gonna be down
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: at Anna Chordus. There's gonna be basically just like maybe
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: some parents. I mean, if you're a parent from Blaine,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: are you gonna drive all the way down there? You might?
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: You know, Like I mean I know that my parents
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: would have tried. But you know, man, it's just disappointing
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: because wrestling is such a great sport. It's and it's
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: a great sport. It's a great sport when you have
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: two good teams, you know, and and that is I mean,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be some great matchups in that, in that
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: in that duel there just is. It's gonna be some
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: great matchups, you know, And man, it's just kind of
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: disappointing to look at what wrestling. I mean, I don't
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: want to say what it has become, because there's still
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: some great programs and you know, some very good wrestling
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: going on. But it's just not the same anymore, you
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. And man, it's just it's it's
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: just disappointing because we used to just absolutely pack our gym.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, we absolutely packed our gym in high school
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: and the place was rocking and rolling and rowdy and
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: just I mean it was you know, you'd take a
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: guy to his back and the student section, we had
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: a legit student section would just start going nuts, jumping
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: up and down, just going crazy. And I think about that,
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: and it's and then I you know, I was at
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: I was at a a whatever you want to call it,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: a double duel I guess it is at Bathel one night,
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: and it was like just not the same. You know.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: It's four schools were there and they just wrestled and
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: it was like, hey, let's just get this in and
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: get out of here type of thing. You know. I
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's just disappointing.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: I know that you don't get the same atmosphere for
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: wrestling that you get for like, you know, a big
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: time boys basketball game. But I mean, you know how
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: it is like back in the day, man, there was
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: some some big time wrestling meets.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah, Baker Blaine was always huge. I
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: mean it still is, yeah, because you go back to
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the eighties and up to the mid nineties, it was
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: it was Blaine. You know, they did have a state
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: champion every year, maybe two, maybe three. I think by
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: junior year they had three. And then Baker was kind
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: of taken over, but Blaine wasn't running, relinquished too much,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: and it was just back and forth. I mean, it
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: would be a lot of thirty six thirty three nights,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that, where it was like, holy cow,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: that came down to the very end, and yeah, it
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: was yeah, I know, I know exactly what you're talking about,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: and it's it's it's different, but you know, I get
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: it in a way. But again it's like, you know,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I always wish it could go back to that a
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Well see, and here you go. So now I'm looking
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: at it. Baker and Blaine are going to wrestle each
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: other on on a Tuesday night and that's the only
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: thing going on. Perfect. That's great, you know, like that's
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: gonna be probably an awesome atmosphere. Yeah, but you're gonna
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: tell me that Ferndale and Blaine wouldn't.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Be no, exactly, yeah, you know.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: Instead they're wrestling at Ana Chordus. You know, like I
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: just ah, man, it's just it's disappointing. But then I
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: look at you know, uh, here's one of my on here.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: I'm on Blaine's and so Blaine is also going to
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: wrestle Oak Harbor and Burlington Edison down at Oak Harbor.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: Well that I'm okay with that, Like, yeah, that's fine.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: That doesn't bother me that much. They're going to wrestle
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Meridian on the road just by themselves. Like that's great too,
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean, Like that's great. That's
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: the way it should be. You know. Let's see here
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: earlier this year they wrestled just Knooksack Valley, just Bellingham.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: You know, that's the way it should be, you know,
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: like the ones that are local like that, they should
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: be like that. Yeah, when you go to Oak Harbor, Yeah,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: go play, go go do two. That's fine, Like I
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: get it, you know, that's the way it should be.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: But I don't know, I just think of that about
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: that one. It's like, man, that's two good programs right there.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: That's it should be a heck of a night. But yeah, then, man,
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: can you imagine trying to get down there for a
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: six o'clock one on a Friday night, Like, yeah, that's tough,
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: that's tough.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: But anywhere you know, on a Friday between four.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're talking to a guy that lives in
