- 0:27Speaker 1: Thank you to Ferndale senior Cole Larson for the intro.
- 0:32Speaker 1: You know, it's been a strange season for him, transfer
- 0:34Speaker 1: from Lennon Christian. He's originally a Ferndale kid, so because
- 0:38Speaker 1: of the transfer rule, he had to sit out forty
- 0:40Speaker 1: percent of the season, so he was just kind of
- 0:42Speaker 1: playing catch up constantly. Got into the game a couple
- 0:45Speaker 1: of weeks ago, did some stuff, carried the ball a
- 0:47Speaker 1: few times, played a lot last week in this big
- 0:51Speaker 1: game that we'll talk about a little later on. And
- 0:56Speaker 1: he made plays offensively, defensively, special teams. He did it.
- 1:00Speaker 1: He did all sorts of things and he just I'm
- 1:03Speaker 1: so glad he's able to show what he can do
- 1:05Speaker 1: here in his senior season and gave Ferndale a big
- 1:09Speaker 1: time spark and now they're going on to the round
- 1:12Speaker 1: of thirty two and we will talk about that game
- 1:14Speaker 1: a little later on with Coach Wood in the coach's corner.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Also got to give a thank you to Kirk Maybury Farm.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Kirk Mayberray Farm is a family farm committed to developing
- 1:23Speaker 1: innovative agronomic and business practices to grow, process and market
- 1:28Speaker 1: high quality barriers. Kurt Mayberry Farm is the Northwest berry

- 1:35Speaker 1: Farm dot com. That's Kirt with a C M A
- 1:38Speaker 1: B E R E E r r y farm dot com.
- 1:42Speaker 1: My goodness, I'm I gonna get that right one of
- 1:45Speaker 1: these days, I hope. So Also, this is really really important.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Do you live in walk Them, Scadget Island or San
- 1:52Speaker 1: Juan County and want to become an official? Officiating is
- 1:55Speaker 1: a great way to give back to your community and
- 1:57Speaker 1: ensure our youth have an opportunity to compete in athletics.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Go to nwofficials dot com. Multiple sports, football, basketball, you know, volleyball,
- 2:10Speaker 1: all sorts of things, you know. I went to a
- 2:14Speaker 1: volleyball match last week and and talked to an official
- 2:18Speaker 1: for a little bit. I think she was commenting on
- 2:21Speaker 1: my attire said that she liked the bright colors, and
- 2:24Speaker 1: I gave her the thumbs up. And and then and
- 2:26Speaker 1: then like a day later, I saw her at the
- 2:29Speaker 1: at Bellwood Acres and talked to her for a little bit,
- 2:32Speaker 1: you know, miss Walking Preps and I were picking out
- 2:35Speaker 1: our pumpkins and you know, getting some food, and I
- 2:38Speaker 1: asked her how long she'd been an official, and she said, yeah,
- 2:41Speaker 1: this is my first year. So you know, starting out
- 2:44Speaker 1: in your first year and you're doing varsity matches at
- 2:45Speaker 1: Seahome against Meridian. That was pretty impressive. So I, you know,
- 2:50Speaker 1: give back to the community, become an official. I kind
- 2:52Speaker 1: of feel like if I wasn't doing what I'm doing,
- 2:56Speaker 1: I would either be coaching or officiating. And I think
- 3:01Speaker 1: it'd be a lot of fun just to just to
- 3:03Speaker 1: be a part of it somehow, right, And and if
- 3:07Speaker 1: we run out officials, then we're gonna run out of
- 3:10Speaker 1: times to play, and that we do not need that.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So go there, become informed, learn stuff, and give back
- 3:17Speaker 1: the community and get paid for it. So pretty cool deal. Okay,
- 3:21Speaker 1: let's go over the seven Bucks scores. We have the
- 3:25Speaker 1: seven games that played over the weekend and you know,
- 3:28Speaker 1: we're gonna start off with the Thursday games that were
- 3:30Speaker 1: kind of you know, all over the place some Thursday,
- 3:32Speaker 1: some Friday, and one on Saturday. We're gonna go in
- 3:34Speaker 1: chronological order and start with the Thursday games. And of
- 3:39Speaker 1: course I'm gonna start with the one that I was
- 3:41Speaker 1: at for the entire game. I was out at Kooksack Valley,
- 3:44Speaker 1: said Lambert Field. Linden Christian was in town. You know,
- 3:49Speaker 1: pretty darn good game. Linden Christian scored the first couple
- 3:53Speaker 1: of touchdowns of the game, and it was kind of
- 3:56Speaker 1: looking like, okay, this is you know, they might be
- 3:59Speaker 1: a touchdown or two better than Nucksack Valley. But then
- 4:02Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley came back, found a lot of you know,
- 4:06Speaker 1: good like their screen. Their quick screen game was really
- 4:09Speaker 1: really working, and they needed it to work against that defense.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Evan Brown was very efficient quick passes over to Cole Kppenter,
- 4:17Speaker 1: one of them sprung for a touchdown. It was fourteen
- 4:19Speaker 1: to seven at the half. Lindon Christian comes back scores
- 4:23Speaker 1: in the third quarter. On Boyce Robertson caught a thirteen
- 4:27Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass from Eli Mayberry. That was Boyce's sixteenth
- 4:30Speaker 1: touchdown reception of the year, which breaks the school record
- 4:34Speaker 1: for touchdown receptions in a season previously held by Kevin
- 4:38Speaker 1: Coy that was from two thousand and two, So very
- 4:42Speaker 1: very impressive there. Nukzack Valley comes back and makes it
- 4:45Speaker 1: a one score game again. Trey Hugh Tink with a
- 4:48Speaker 1: six yard touchdown run that game after he returned to kickoff,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I think it was like sixty yards. He's not the
- 4:55Speaker 1: deep man, but he's kind of that next row up
- 4:57Speaker 1: and it was a short kick. He picked it up
- 4:59Speaker 1: and daylight around the end and picked up a lot
- 5:03Speaker 1: of yards and then it was it was good to
- 5:07Speaker 1: see him capitalize that drive with a touchdown. But then
- 5:12Speaker 1: right after that, you know they were able to force
- 5:16Speaker 1: Elsie to punt and then Nuksak has the ball. They're
- 5:18Speaker 1: down by score there and they're they're driving, they're picking
- 5:21Speaker 1: up multiple first downs. They get past the fifty and
- 5:23Speaker 1: they fumble the ball and that was the big heartbreaker
- 5:26Speaker 1: there for the Pioneers looking to upset the Lennon Christian
- 5:30Speaker 1: Lynx Lennon Christian recovers, go down and they score and
- 5:35Speaker 1: that made it. That made it a two score game.
- 5:39Speaker 1: And then right after that it was an interception right away,
- 5:43Speaker 1: Caden Veldman with an interception and then another interception late
- 5:46Speaker 1: in the game. They just kind of put it away.
- 5:49Speaker 1: That was Gunnard Costers so then and Christian wins that one.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Twenty eight to fourteen. There's some good things on the ground.
- 5:55Speaker 1: There were very even ran the ball thirty one times,
- 5:58Speaker 1: passed it thirty times. Then Christian Chris Coyman twenty four
- 6:02Speaker 1: carries for ninety three yards and two touchdowns. Eli Mayberry
- 6:05Speaker 1: four carries for twenty four yards and a touchdown. He
- 6:08Speaker 1: tucked it a few times on that run on that
- 6:11Speaker 1: option play, and he almost I mean he hands it
- 6:14Speaker 1: off ninety nine percent of time, but he kept it twice.
- 6:17Speaker 1: And they were both really really smart reads and they
- 6:20Speaker 1: both ended up going for big yards. One going for
- 6:22Speaker 1: a touchdown there and passing passing wise, Eli Maybury nineteen
- 6:27Speaker 1: of thirty for one hundred and forty three yards and
- 6:30Speaker 1: the touchdown. That was the big thing that was recognizable
- 6:33Speaker 1: was Nukak was not going to allow the deep pass.
- 6:36Speaker 1: You see. He completed nineteen passes for one hundred and
- 6:39Speaker 1: forty three yards, so that means you're averaging seven eight
- 6:42Speaker 1: yards a reception. Not just an attempt a reception, so
- 6:46Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. They gave him the stuff underneath,
- 6:48Speaker 1: and they did not allow the big time passes down
- 6:52Speaker 1: the field. There was a few attempts, but they were
- 6:54Speaker 1: not completed. Receiving wise, Caden Beldman the big tight end,
- 6:59Speaker 1: seven catches for forty nine yards, Boyce Robertson five catches
- 7:04Speaker 1: for forty yards, Dawson Hines three catches for nineteen yards,
- 7:07Speaker 1: and Wyatt camp House two catches for twenty two yards.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Coleyman and Jackson Huet each had a reception as well.
- 7:13Speaker 1: For Knooksack Valley. Leading the way on the ground was
- 7:16Speaker 1: Trey hughtonk eight carries for thirty five yards and a touchdown.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Trevin Skeenstraw had twenty yards on six carries, and then
- 7:23Speaker 1: in the passing game Evan Brown eighteen of twenty seven
- 7:27Speaker 1: for one hundred and ninety yards. I did throw a touchdown,
- 7:30Speaker 1: but through two interceptions, both of them in the fourth quarter,
- 7:34Speaker 1: and you know that was that was kind of the deal.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Then a Christian turned Nuksack Valley over four times and
- 7:39Speaker 1: that was the difference in the game. Receiving wise, Cool
- 7:42Speaker 1: Coppinger six catches for sixty five yards and a touchdown.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Jackson Hester five receptions for eighty one yards, Tyler Martin
- 7:49Speaker 1: three catches for thirteen yards, Jayden Jones two for nine,
- 7:52Speaker 1: Trevin Skeenstrow had one catch for fourteen yards, and Brian
- 7:55Speaker 1: Larley had one catch for eight yards. When you look
- 7:59Speaker 1: at the defensive sided things, Cayden Veldman leading the Linden
- 8:02Speaker 1: Christian defense with six and a half tackles and one
- 8:04Speaker 1: tackle for loss, also had the interception. Gunnar DeCoster six
- 8:09Speaker 1: tackles and the interception. Wyatt camp House four tackles, and
- 8:12Speaker 1: then he also had a forced fumble that he recovered.
- 8:15Speaker 1: He's he's been the best at this all season. When
- 8:18Speaker 1: I look at everybody as far as punching the ball
- 8:20Speaker 1: out and then recovering it, He's done it a few times.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Very very crafty player and very good at what he does.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Chris Coyman he had three tackles, one tackle for loss,
- 8:30Speaker 1: a quarterback sack and a pass broken up. Guy can
- 8:33Speaker 1: do it all over the field. Dawson Heinz had six
- 8:36Speaker 1: tackles and a forced fumble as well for Knicksack Valley
- 8:40Speaker 1: leading the defense. Brian Larlee seven and a half tackles
- 8:43Speaker 1: from his defensive end spot and a tackle for loss
- 8:45Speaker 1: and a lot of disruptive plays. Caleb Vissers seven and
- 8:49Speaker 1: a half tackles, one tackle for loss, and Jayden Jones
- 8:53Speaker 1: had five tackles, two passes broken up. They were kind
- 8:57Speaker 1: of picking on him a little bit when he was
- 9:00Speaker 1: covering of Robertson, but I thought he did a pretty
- 9:02Speaker 1: darn good job, very very good cover guy, and you know,
- 9:07Speaker 1: he did his job. Gabe Snyder's five and a half
- 9:10Speaker 1: tackles one tackle for loss. Max Lowtenbach has seven and
- 9:13Speaker 1: a half tackles as well, So those were kind of
- 9:15Speaker 1: your leaders on defense for both sides and both teams
- 9:20Speaker 1: making it into the round of thirty two. We will
- 9:21Speaker 1: talk about those games on the podcast that will come
- 9:25Speaker 1: out Thursday morning, so you'll have to wait a few
- 9:27Speaker 1: days for that. This is just the recaps of kind
- 9:30Speaker 1: of what happened there. So with the win, Nukzack Valley
- 9:36Speaker 1: moved to eight and one on the seasons. I'm sorry,
- 9:39Speaker 1: Lenny Christian moved to eight and one on the season
- 9:42Speaker 1: and Nukzach Valley went down to five and four. But
- 9:47Speaker 1: like I said, both teams are hosting in the round
- 9:50Speaker 1: of thirty two and hopefully both teams will get into
- 9:53Speaker 1: the state tournament the following week, so good luck to
- 9:56Speaker 1: both of them. It was a great, great game. It
- 9:58Speaker 1: was one of the few ones that I was actually
- 10:00Speaker 1: in attendance for the entire game, from kickoff to the
- 10:02Speaker 1: final whistle, and that was mostly because I knew this
- 10:08Speaker 1: was going to be a very busy weekend with all
- 10:09Speaker 1: sports you know related coming in and I needed to
- 10:14Speaker 1: take stats live at a game, write the story that
- 10:17Speaker 1: night before I went to bed to stay on top
- 10:18Speaker 1: of things. So that's the game I chose, and I'm
- 10:21Speaker 1: glad I did. It was a really really good one.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Let's head out to Mount Baker. This game hosting OMAK
- 10:26Speaker 1: actually took place an hour earlier than the other one,
- 10:28Speaker 1: so I was out there for the first quarter, and
- 10:32Speaker 1: you know, good to be out there on senior night
- 10:34Speaker 1: to do a great job painting the sideline in the fields,
- 10:37Speaker 1: each like like separate little black footballs or red footballs,
- 10:40Speaker 1: I should say that have like each senior has like
- 10:44Speaker 1: a football out there painted into the ground. Really really
- 10:48Speaker 1: cool deal. They do it right out there at about
- 10:50Speaker 1: Mount Baker. It was it was scoreless after one quarter,
- 10:54Speaker 1: Omak presented some interesting things on offense. There's a few
- 10:59Speaker 1: things that stood out right away. They do not punt
- 11:01Speaker 1: the ball, which I thought was, you know, there's teams
- 11:04Speaker 1: that do that. They kick out on side kicks, don't punt.
- 11:07Speaker 1: They just kind of play out the analytics and it
- 11:09Speaker 1: usually goes in their favor. But against a really good team,
- 11:12Speaker 1: it's tricky to do. And so right away, I mean
- 11:16Speaker 1: they threw it on fourth down, Zion Peglia intercepts it.
- 11:20Speaker 1: That was right on the first drive there, and that's
- 11:21Speaker 1: Pegli's fourth interception of the year, tied for second in
- 11:25Speaker 1: the county. He's having a really, really good year. And uh,
- 11:30Speaker 1: but it was kind of a stalemate both ways in
- 11:32Speaker 1: the first quarter. But in the second quarter, Mount Baker
- 11:34Speaker 1: erupted for three touchdowns. Bryce Cooper sprung one for forty
- 11:37Speaker 1: four yards, came to Moa had a seven yard touchdown run.
- 11:41Speaker 1: And then right before the half, they were trying their uh,
- 11:44Speaker 1: you know, their double fake handoff throw at deep play
- 11:47Speaker 1: and they had double coverage on Jet Ross deep. So
- 11:51Speaker 1: Toga tig aloud goes down the other down the other
- 11:54Speaker 1: sideline to Bryce Cooper, who he faked the first handoff
- 11:57Speaker 1: to throws it down the sideline to him from thirty
- 12:00Speaker 1: yards out. The Omak Pioneer player is in great position.
- 12:03Speaker 1: He makes a play, but it tips up in the year.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Bryce Cooper's concentration hauls it in and goes right into
- 12:09Speaker 1: the end zone right before the half. Mount Baker leads
- 12:11Speaker 1: twenty to zero at behalf. No scoring in the third quarter.
- 12:15Speaker 1: The fourth quarter scoring start off with a Knock Smith
- 12:18Speaker 1: thirty five yard field goal. Great, great kick by him.
- 12:22Speaker 1: I believe that's his third field goal of his career,
- 12:25Speaker 1: second this season. And you know, he's quickly moving himself
- 12:30Speaker 1: up that leader board of all time kickers in Mount
- 12:33Speaker 1: Baker history for points scored and extra points and all
- 12:35Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So I think he's like fourth already,
- 12:38Speaker 1: and he's just a sophomore, so bright, bright future for him.
- 12:41Speaker 1: And then at the very end, Brice Cooper ripped off
- 12:43Speaker 1: a seventy nine yard touchdown run to kind of seal
- 12:46Speaker 1: the deal there, and that was good to see, you know,
- 12:48Speaker 1: final game at home. The senior makes good on a
- 12:52Speaker 1: on a very dynamic play that saw him you know,
- 12:55Speaker 1: twist and turn break it, tackle stiff farmer guy and
- 12:58Speaker 1: then turn on the Jets, So a little bit of
- 13:00Speaker 1: everything on that play, balance, speed, vision, power and agility everything,
- 13:06Speaker 1: so it was really really good to see. Bryce Cooper
- 13:09Speaker 1: finished with twelve carries for one hundred and fifty one
- 13:12Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. On the ground came to Moa
- 13:15Speaker 1: fourteen carries for ninety five yards and a touchdown Tooga.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Tig Allowed four carries for seventeen yards, Gage Smith three
- 13:21Speaker 1: carries for eleven yards. Tig Law was six of nineteen
- 13:25Speaker 1: through the air for seventy seven yards and the touchdown.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Jet Ross caught four passes for thirty six yards. Bryce
- 13:31Speaker 1: Cooper had the thirty yard touchdown reception, and Gage Smith
- 13:34Speaker 1: caught a pass for eleven yards. Defensively, Matt Baker had
- 13:39Speaker 1: three interceptions on the night. Leading the way was Noah
- 13:42Speaker 1: Nicole Smith, the junior middle linebacker. He had eight and
- 13:45Speaker 1: a half tackles, one and a half tackles for loss
- 13:47Speaker 1: and one of the interceptions. Jet Ross had eleven and
- 13:51Speaker 1: a half tackles coming up from a safety spot, making
- 13:54Speaker 1: a lot of stops in the box. That was really
- 13:56Speaker 1: good to see. Kel rear in six and a half tackles,
- 13:59Speaker 1: one tackle for law and a forced fumble. Andrew Monteith
- 14:03Speaker 1: had seven tackles and an interception, and I talked about
- 14:06Speaker 1: Peglia had an interception as well. Aaron Torres nine and
- 14:09Speaker 1: a half tackles from his defensive tackle spot. That's very,
- 14:13Speaker 1: very impressive from that spot to have that many tackles.
- 14:16Speaker 1: He's just such an aggressive player. Also starting at center
- 14:19Speaker 1: this year, so putting a lot more on his plate.
- 14:22Speaker 1: And he's a kid that is vastly overlooked. I mean
- 14:26Speaker 1: he is. He's an All conference type player, especially at
- 14:29Speaker 1: that defensive tackle spot. So yeah, it's been It was
- 14:33Speaker 1: a great overall effort by Mount Baker. I really liked
- 14:37Speaker 1: what they did as far as you know, defensively, like
- 14:41Speaker 1: shutting them out. O Max. A good team, O MAAX.
- 14:43Speaker 1: A team that is in the round of thirty two. Heck,
- 14:46Speaker 1: they might even win that game and be in the
- 14:48Speaker 1: in the state tournament. And then you shut that team out.
- 14:51Speaker 1: That's very very impressive. He gave up one hundred and
- 14:54Speaker 1: ninety yards, which is pretty good actually, but zero points,
- 14:57Speaker 1: which is even better. So good job for Mount Baker.
- 15:01Speaker 1: They'll be They are moving on, of course, to the
- 15:04Speaker 1: round of thirty two, which again we will talk about
- 15:06Speaker 1: that on Thursday morning. Let's stay in the one a
- 15:10Speaker 1: now and head right down down the road here to
- 15:15Speaker 1: Meridian High School as the Trojans hosted the blame Border
- 15:19Speaker 1: Rights got the best of them, forty three to twenty five.
- 15:23Speaker 1: This was This would have been like back in the
- 15:26Speaker 1: day watching Hawaii against Texas Tech. This was air it
- 15:29Speaker 1: out football both ways. There was ten touchdowns in the game.
- 15:33Speaker 1: All of them were passing touchdowns. There was also a
- 15:36Speaker 1: safety in the game, so not every score was a
- 15:39Speaker 1: passing touchdown, but darn near. The two teams combined for
- 15:42Speaker 1: forty one yards rushing, but they also combined for what
- 15:47Speaker 1: seven hundred and forty two yards in the air or
- 15:50Speaker 1: six hundred and forty two yards in the air my bad.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Just a lot of passing the football, and you know,
- 15:59Speaker 1: it makes it exciting. Is a couple teams that knew
- 16:01Speaker 1: they weren't in the round of thirty two anymore. But
- 16:04Speaker 1: but of course playing for pride, and it's a conference
- 16:07Speaker 1: game and a long time rival between these two schools,
- 16:10Speaker 1: so that was really cool to see them go at
- 16:14Speaker 1: it and battle and it was just back and forth.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I mean, you saw a lot of deep touchdown passes,
- 16:20Speaker 1: you know, for Meridian Trey Alexander with six touchdown passes
- 16:25Speaker 1: on the game at ties a school record, also ties
- 16:28Speaker 1: a walkin county record. He was twenty six of forty
- 16:31Speaker 1: one through the year for three hundred and forty three
- 16:33Speaker 1: yards and those six touchdowns. Recipients Daniel Larson nine catches
- 16:40Speaker 1: for one hundred and one yards and two touchdowns. Casey
- 16:43Speaker 1: Brennan five catches for one hundred and twenty one yards
- 16:46Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Definitely, he's not playing at one hundred percent,
- 16:49Speaker 1: but played well enough to put up those kinds of numbers.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Pierce Berezowski three catches for forty seven yards and two touchdowns.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Tristan Burgess was Tristan Burgess. That might be his dad,
- 16:59Speaker 1: Lincoln are just three catches for twenty seven yards. See,
- 17:02Speaker 1: I'm just looking at last names. I'm trying to remember
- 17:04Speaker 1: first names. So if I yell out the wrong first name,
- 17:07Speaker 1: let me know. I'm sure I'll be hearing about it.
- 17:09Speaker 1: And for a lot of these kids, it's probably gonna
- 17:11Speaker 1: be their dad. Brandon Fisher two catches for nineteen yards.
- 17:15Speaker 1: Trevin kat Crabtree two catches for twelve yards. Blake Man's
- 17:19Speaker 1: their win catch for fourteen yards and Jackson Fan and
- 17:21Speaker 1: Steel had a reception for two yards For Blaine, Connor
- 17:25Speaker 1: Brown was sixteen of thirty five through the air for
- 17:27Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety nine yards and four touchdowns. Boy,
- 17:32Speaker 1: he's having a great year. You start looking at sophomore
- 17:35Speaker 1: quarterback seasons and I need to research it. But you know,
- 17:40Speaker 1: off the top of my head, like Josh Kraft, you know,
- 17:43Speaker 1: Jake Locker, Casey Locker, you know had a great sophomore
- 17:48Speaker 1: seasons as quarterbacks. And of course I mean those guys.
- 17:54Speaker 1: I mean you could say those are the three best
- 17:56Speaker 1: players in Walker County history, regardless of position. But I
- 18:00Speaker 1: don't know if numbers wise they've been like it's just
- 18:04Speaker 1: total yards passing and touchdowns. Connor Brown's numbers are pretty
- 18:08Speaker 1: darn good. I'm gonna have to compare and look at
- 18:10Speaker 1: some sophomore numbers and I'm sure put out some numbers
- 18:12Speaker 1: at some point soon. But he's really putting together a
- 18:15Speaker 1: really good season through the air. His beneficiaries were Peyton
- 18:18Speaker 1: Bama eight catches for ninety nine yards. Kay Kerwin had
- 18:22Speaker 1: an amazing game six catches for one hundred and twenty
- 18:24Speaker 1: six yards and three touchdowns. Such a great kid. I'm
- 18:27Speaker 1: so glad that he's going out with these big numbers.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Still got one more game for them to play, which
- 18:32Speaker 1: is great. Hunter Candanoza had a thirty nine yard catch
- 18:35Speaker 1: and Isaac Bauma caught a thirty five yard touchdown as well.
- 18:38Speaker 1: On the defensive sided the ball from Meridian, I thought
- 18:43Speaker 1: Brayden Fisher had a pretty good game. A freshman corner.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Had five passes broken up. That is that is a
- 18:51Speaker 1: lot of action on the on the island. There four
- 18:53Speaker 1: and a half tackles as well. Xavier Parrin his usual,
- 18:58Speaker 1: you know, great game at the end linebacker spot. Five tackles,
- 19:01Speaker 1: two tackles for loss and a quarterback sack. I thought
- 19:06Speaker 1: he played pretty well. Trevin Krabtree he had an interception,
- 19:10Speaker 1: two passes broken up, and four and a half tackles.
- 19:12Speaker 1: I thought he had his best game of his career. Defensively,
- 19:15Speaker 1: Ethan Balach six and a half tackles, a sack which
- 19:19Speaker 1: was ended up being a safety, and a half tackle
- 19:21Speaker 1: for loss. I finally realized why he's not playing more
- 19:24Speaker 1: running back. I saw the club on his hand, so
- 19:26Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of injury he's playing with,
- 19:28Speaker 1: some sort of finger or hand or thumb injury. But
- 19:31Speaker 1: he's got the big club over it playing defense only
- 19:34Speaker 1: and he gets after it. He's a tough kid wrestler,
- 19:37Speaker 1: So you know, I love it when you know guys
- 19:40Speaker 1: can play through pain and make their team better. He's
- 19:43Speaker 1: been doing that. And Cooper Marim had three tackles, a
- 19:47Speaker 1: tackle for loss, a sack, and a pass broken up.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Those are your leaders on defense for Meridian for Boaye,
- 19:56Speaker 1: Matt Campion, the sophomore linebacker, seven and a half tackles
- 19:59Speaker 1: and a quarterback sack. Isaac Bauma four tackles, a pass
- 20:03Speaker 1: broken up and an interception, just the you know, a
- 20:06Speaker 1: sophomore corner that's just going to get better and better.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Axel Shelton, the leading tackler in the county, had seven
- 20:13Speaker 1: more tackles and half a tackle for loss. And Sahu Kanaji,
- 20:17Speaker 1: the sophomore outside linebacker, had four and a half tackles
- 20:20Speaker 1: and a fumble recovery. So those were your leaders defensively.
- 20:25Speaker 1: I thought Jackson Bogart's actually two had a pretty good game.
- 20:27Speaker 1: The freshman safety from Blainey had three passes broken up,
- 20:30Speaker 1: So got to throw that in there really quickly. Ridan
- 20:34Speaker 1: Picks up the win forty three to twenty five. And
- 20:36Speaker 1: it was just, like I said, just an air raid
- 20:38Speaker 1: back and forth, you know, really really, you know, just
- 20:42Speaker 1: a just a fun game to watch. Randy Farmer and
- 20:45Speaker 1: Rick Todd were on the call on the radio. They
- 20:47Speaker 1: probably had a blast calling all this action of deep
- 20:51Speaker 1: passes down the field really really fun to see. And
- 20:55Speaker 1: one more game that took place on Thursday, that was
- 20:58Speaker 1: at Civic Stadium in city rivalry between Bellingham and Squalicum.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Bellingham playing the host here, but Squalicum playing the playing
- 21:08Speaker 1: the let's be rude to the host as they come
- 21:10Speaker 1: out and wallop them forty four to zero. Reese Knowlton
- 21:13Speaker 1: takes the opening kickoff, almost returns it for a touchdown,
- 21:16Speaker 1: he doesn't, and then they score on the very next
- 21:19Speaker 1: play Cole Burke to Anson Osby Ornson and U. And
- 21:23Speaker 1: the route was kind of on. I mean, it was
- 21:24Speaker 1: twenty to zero after the first quarter, and there was
- 21:29Speaker 1: just a lot of things went right for Squalicum and
- 21:32Speaker 1: a lot of things, especially special teams wise, did not
- 21:34Speaker 1: go too well for Bellingham. And it was it was
- 21:39Speaker 1: all squalkum. Like I said, forty four to zero. Yeah,
- 21:43Speaker 1: they ran the ball for one hundred and forty two
- 21:45Speaker 1: yards pass for one hundred and sixty one. On the ground,
- 21:48Speaker 1: the sophomore Asher Osby Ornson thirteen carries for eighty one
- 21:51Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns. Reese Nolton also had a twenty
- 21:55Speaker 1: seven yard carry. Avery Wiener four carries for seventeen yards
- 21:58Speaker 1: and a touchdown as well. Through the air, Cole Burke
- 22:02Speaker 1: thirteen for nineteen for one hundred and sixty one yards
- 22:05Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Extremely efficient. I don't know the exact
- 22:10Speaker 1: numbers at the top of my head, but there's one
- 22:13Speaker 1: game left and he's really close to breaking the you know,
- 22:18Speaker 1: being the all time leader in career completion percentage. So
- 22:22Speaker 1: it's it's really really close. And of course you can't
- 22:25Speaker 1: hold that record until you're done with football. So he's
- 22:28Speaker 1: got one game left and we'll see if he can
- 22:30Speaker 1: do it. Eli mary Berry is going to break that
- 22:33Speaker 1: record for a season by far, he's well above seventy
- 22:36Speaker 1: percent on the season, but Cole Burke is righted around
- 22:40Speaker 1: sixty six percent for his entire career. So another great game.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Thirteen of nineteen through the air. Like I said, anton
- 22:46Speaker 1: Osby orne In seven catches for seventy nine yards and
- 22:49Speaker 1: a touchdown. He also tied the school record for most
- 22:53Speaker 1: receptions in a season with sixty. Just a tremendous year
- 22:58Speaker 1: that he's having. He just can team used to put
- 23:00Speaker 1: up numbers, you know, averaging nearly seven catches a game.
- 23:03Speaker 1: He's got one more game to go, so I'm sure
- 23:05Speaker 1: he will break that record. Younger brother ash Ross Bjornson
- 23:09Speaker 1: had two catches for thirty five yards and a touchdown.
- 23:13Speaker 1: Rock Scammel two catches for eight yards, Khalil Benta had
- 23:16Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard catch, and Zach Watt had a
- 23:19Speaker 1: twelve yard catch. For Bellingham, it was, you know, tough
- 23:22Speaker 1: to get things going. Fifty seven yards on the ground
- 23:24Speaker 1: and eleven of twenty eight through the air for one
- 23:27Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen yards. The main ground gainer, Sonny Powell,
- 23:31Speaker 1: twelve carries for forty four yards. That's a kid that
- 23:34Speaker 1: just does not want to be tackled, does not like
- 23:36Speaker 1: to be tackled. It is really hard to tackle. And
- 23:40Speaker 1: love watching him play. Very much like Tyler Frost who
- 23:44Speaker 1: had been at Bellingham you know, the previous three and
- 23:46Speaker 1: a half four years, so very very similar there. Owen
- 23:50Speaker 1: Hans said, four catches for eleven yards. Ben Leonard through
- 23:53Speaker 1: the air eleven of twenty eight for one hundred and
- 23:55Speaker 1: nineteen yards and the two interceptions. Joe Harward catches for
- 24:00Speaker 1: sixty four yards, Milo Wright three catches for thirty yards
- 24:04Speaker 1: and an inch away from scoring a touchdown. Calvin ben
- 24:08Speaker 1: Hoffwagen three catches for twenty four yards, and Sonny Powell
- 24:11Speaker 1: had a reception as well. And you look on the
- 24:13Speaker 1: defensive side and I'm trying, you know, I'm kind of
- 24:16Speaker 1: looking over here and I look at you know, it
- 24:18Speaker 1: was very spread out as far as the defense goes
- 24:21Speaker 1: for Squaaluk, I'm a lot of guys doing some good things.
- 24:24Speaker 1: But Reyes Nolton, he broke up a couple of passes,
- 24:27Speaker 1: had four and a half tackles, Asher Osby Ornson had
- 24:30Speaker 1: five and a half stops and a pass broken up.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Max Phillips three tackles, a pass deflected, and an interception.
- 24:38Speaker 1: The senior was starting out an outside linebacker. I thought
- 24:40Speaker 1: that was awesome to see in you know, he's a
- 24:43Speaker 1: guy who's been a backup safety for a couple of
- 24:45Speaker 1: years and he had a really good game defensively. Also,
- 24:50Speaker 1: Avery Wiener, who usually is always filling up stat sheet
- 24:53Speaker 1: five and a half tackles, half a tackle for loss,
- 24:56Speaker 1: so some good things there as well. For Bellingham defensively,
- 25:03Speaker 1: Joe Harvard four and a half tackles, two tackles for
- 25:05Speaker 1: loss and a pass broken up. I like seeing him
- 25:08Speaker 1: making plays behind the line of scrimmage. He's a you know, yeah,
- 25:12Speaker 1: he's fast and he could be a weapon. I was
- 25:14Speaker 1: out as a corner, but I love to see him,
- 25:17Speaker 1: you know, play in the box and make some plays
- 25:19Speaker 1: in there because he's just so physical and that's that's
- 25:21Speaker 1: a that's a good place for him. And Hamidian, the
- 25:27Speaker 1: senior linebacker, five and a half tackles, one tackle for
- 25:30Speaker 1: loss and a forced fumble as well. Eli Good Buffalo
- 25:34Speaker 1: had four tackles, one tackle for loss and he forced
- 25:37Speaker 1: a fumble on an interception play with a huge hit.
- 25:40Speaker 1: And then Calvin van hoffwagens seven tackles to lead the
- 25:43Speaker 1: Bellingham Baykawks on defense. So uh yeah, you know, it
- 25:49Speaker 1: was all squalk um. Like I said, forty four to zero,
- 25:53Speaker 1: and it was, like I said, it was just kind
- 25:56Speaker 1: of everything that went right. Bellingham was playing catch up
- 25:59Speaker 1: very early, twenty to zero after the first quarter, and
- 26:03Speaker 1: when you're playing ketchup, you don't you know, you you
- 26:05Speaker 1: skew away from your game plan and different things and
- 26:08Speaker 1: things don't go exactly how you thought they might, and
- 26:10Speaker 1: it's just it's tough to recover after that. So Squala
- 26:14Speaker 1: them grit gets the win. They go to five and
- 26:17Speaker 1: four in the year, Bellingham go down to four and five.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Both will be playing on Thursday night in non crossover
- 26:24Speaker 1: or a non round of thirty two games, and we
- 26:27Speaker 1: will again, like I said, we will talk about that
- 26:29Speaker 1: on Thursday morning when that comes out. Those are the
- 26:32Speaker 1: games that happened on Thursday. Let's jump over to the
- 26:34Speaker 1: Friday night games. The Halloween edition of the Walk and
- 26:37Speaker 1: Preps podcast and it's very goodish and spooky. But Lyndon
- 26:43Speaker 1: hosted Brillington Edison and that was you know, rain soaked
- 26:47Speaker 1: and all sorts of things and final game on that field.
- 26:50Speaker 1: And I tell you what, God bless Randy Small. You know,
- 26:55Speaker 1: photographer has been doing it for a long time. First
- 26:57Speaker 1: of all, class act human being. But the pictures he
- 27:00Speaker 1: captured after the game of seniors, you know, sitting out
- 27:03Speaker 1: there in the stands or sitting, you know, just admiring
- 27:06Speaker 1: everybody's already left. They're still in uniform and they know
- 27:09Speaker 1: that this is it, this is the last time they'll
- 27:11Speaker 1: have that feeling of playing at the football field. And
- 27:14Speaker 1: guys like Danny Bowler and Max Austin who missed, you know,
- 27:17Speaker 1: eighty percent of their senior year, and you know, he
- 27:21Speaker 1: captured the emotion. And I just think that I love
- 27:24Speaker 1: when photographers are able to do that. I can't do
- 27:27Speaker 1: that at all. I just hope for a clear picture.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Out of the thousand that I take, I just want
- 27:32Speaker 1: one clear one. But these guys are so talented guys
- 27:36Speaker 1: and gals. They're just so many great photographers, and just
- 27:41Speaker 1: bless them because with the world of social media and everything,
- 27:45Speaker 1: they can get their stuff out there and share it
- 27:48Speaker 1: with the world and it's just so cool to see
- 27:50Speaker 1: and and you know, it's it's just crazy. I was
- 27:54Speaker 1: just thinking earlier today about my grandparents' house out and Blaine.
- 27:58Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I wish I had pictures
- 28:00Speaker 1: of the basement with all the cool stuff they had
- 28:03Speaker 1: to play with. And it's like I try to describe
- 28:05Speaker 1: it to people and and but we just don't have
- 28:08Speaker 1: any pictures of it. And to these days, there's pictures
- 28:11Speaker 1: of everything that you could go back and look at
- 28:13Speaker 1: when you're talking forty years from now talking to your
- 28:15Speaker 1: grandkids about oh remember this, well, now here's a picture.
- 28:18Speaker 1: And and so I'm really glad there's you know, the
- 28:21Speaker 1: way things are as far as technology, but also the
- 28:24Speaker 1: people that we have out there, people like Randy Small
- 28:27Speaker 1: and Dennis Karen's and you know it's Janelle court Lever
- 28:33Speaker 1: and these really good photographers that capture those moments. So
- 28:37Speaker 1: thank you to all of them. And they've been very
- 28:39Speaker 1: helpful to me and you know, share pictures with me
- 28:43Speaker 1: when I've needed them if I did not feel well
- 28:45Speaker 1: or couldn't make it out to everything. So so thank
- 28:48Speaker 1: you so much. Lyndon pulls away with a twenty one
- 28:51Speaker 1: to seven win. And I also got to give it
- 28:56Speaker 1: thank you to MICHAELA. Sparks. My goodness, she does the
- 28:59Speaker 1: same thing, take great pictures and writing stories. She actually
- 29:02Speaker 1: wrote this story for me, and yeah, how could I
- 29:05Speaker 1: not even think about her? But she just does such
- 29:08Speaker 1: a tremendous job for me and and been doing it
- 29:10Speaker 1: for a long time now. So she's she's been that
- 29:13Speaker 1: rock for walking preps and you know, it's it's such
- 29:18Speaker 1: a great, great thing. And I'm I'm hoping she's having
- 29:20Speaker 1: fun doing it, because I want her to do it forever.
- 29:23Speaker 1: But you know, she can't do it forever. I know
- 29:26Speaker 1: that she'll get it, she'll get a job doing this somewhere,
- 29:29Speaker 1: and she will be on her merry way once that happens.
- 29:33Speaker 1: But in the meantime, it's very, very glad to have
- 29:35Speaker 1: her help me out. This was a battle. This was
- 29:38Speaker 1: back and forth. Two teams that knew they were going
- 29:40Speaker 1: to be in the round of thirty two, two teams
- 29:42Speaker 1: that are used to playing in the muck and the
- 29:45Speaker 1: the grime and the you know, the wet natural grass conditions.
- 29:48Speaker 1: So that was that was kind of what was expected.
- 29:53Speaker 1: Was a low scoring game, different things like that. But
- 29:57Speaker 1: early on, Lyndon gets into the red zone, they get
- 30:00Speaker 1: inside the five and they insert Alvaro Mendoza Baby in
- 30:03Speaker 1: a running back. He scores a two yard touchdown run.
- 30:06Speaker 1: And I was just talking to coachman Dalen last week about,
- 30:09Speaker 1: you know, about him, and he was like, you know,
- 30:12Speaker 1: with all these injuries, we kind of learned something about him,
- 30:15Speaker 1: about what he can do and how he runs the ball,
- 30:17Speaker 1: and going forward, we're gonna find a way to use him. Well,
- 30:19Speaker 1: I think we just found that way it's gonna be
- 30:21Speaker 1: short yardage, and he's a you know, he starts on
- 30:24Speaker 1: the defensive line, does a great job and you know
- 30:26Speaker 1: he buried in and scored a touchdown there. And it
- 30:29Speaker 1: was seven zero at the half, very low scoring. The
- 30:32Speaker 1: weather was not great. And then in the second half
- 30:37Speaker 1: Lucas Logy ripped off an eighty four yard run which
- 30:40Speaker 1: had all sorts of He was having trouble with footing
- 30:42Speaker 1: in the first half, but I don't know if he
- 30:44Speaker 1: got different cleats or what happened in the second half,
- 30:46Speaker 1: but he was making guys miss, he was cutting, he
- 30:48Speaker 1: was jiving, he was doing different things. The guys were
- 30:50Speaker 1: falling all over the place. And then he turned on
- 30:52Speaker 1: that speed and hauled down the sideline. There was a
- 30:56Speaker 1: there was one player for Bronston. It was pretty quick
- 30:58Speaker 1: that caught up with him, and it looked like he
- 31:01Speaker 1: was trying to pitch the ball to sam Arango like
- 31:03Speaker 1: inside the five, and it just sometimes you know, just
- 31:07Speaker 1: to you know, you gained all these yards here, you
- 31:09Speaker 1: finish it, you do the last few yards and the
- 31:12Speaker 1: ball came out, went into the end zone Orango fell
- 31:14Speaker 1: on it, so it was a touchdown. For Lindon give
- 31:17Speaker 1: them a fourteen to zero lead, and then they score
- 31:20Speaker 1: the final their final touchdown of the game, Gossa van
- 31:23Speaker 1: Dalen from two yards out to make it twenty one zero.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Burlingtonisen does score late in the game to make it
- 31:28Speaker 1: a twenty one to seven game. I really love what
- 31:30Speaker 1: Lindon's defense did here. Burlington Edison, a run heavy team,
- 31:34Speaker 1: carried the ball forty times in total, just seventy yards,
- 31:37Speaker 1: so you're talking less than two yards of carry on
- 31:40Speaker 1: the game. And then they went to the air eleven
- 31:43Speaker 1: times and Linden intercepted him twice. So a very good
- 31:47Speaker 1: job by the Lindon defense. But Blake Whipman, the defensive coordinator,
- 31:51Speaker 1: does a fantastic job really, you know. And it's good
- 31:55Speaker 1: to have a game like this right before the playoffs because,
- 31:58Speaker 1: you know, to be honest, maybe this round of thirty
- 32:00Speaker 1: two and first round gamer they're not going to be
- 32:03Speaker 1: great tests, you know, going into that next round. I mean,
- 32:08Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way that it is, and
- 32:10Speaker 1: so it's good to get a little bit of a
- 32:12Speaker 1: good test right before that. So you kind of have that.
- 32:15Speaker 1: And so I'm sure that the Linen coaching staff is
- 32:19Speaker 1: very happy about that. They're probably also very happy about
- 32:22Speaker 1: running for nearly three hundred yards as Lucas Logi led
- 32:25Speaker 1: the way with eight carries for one hundred and thirty
- 32:27Speaker 1: nine yards, Dawson van Dalen seventeen carries for one hundred
- 32:30Speaker 1: and thirteen yards, Malachi Caanan had thirty one yards on
- 32:33Speaker 1: the ground on just three carries, and then I'll borrow Mendoza.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Beaty had fifteen yards and the touchdown on five carries,
- 32:40Speaker 1: Lucas Logi four of ten through the air for thirty
- 32:42Speaker 1: seven yards, sam Arango with two catches, Marcus Kanan with
- 32:46Speaker 1: the catch, and Brody Price had a reception as well.
- 32:49Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, Gordy Bedlington five
- 32:51Speaker 1: and a half tackles, a tackle for loss and a
- 32:54Speaker 1: great interception in the end zone on a ball that
- 32:56Speaker 1: was tipped by Brody Price. Great great play. Big West
- 33:00Speaker 1: car two and a half tackles and a quarterback sack
- 33:02Speaker 1: of fumble recovery and a half of a tackle for
- 33:05Speaker 1: loss doing a great job as that defensive end spot.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Malachi Canaan eight tackles, half a tackle for loss, and
- 33:14Speaker 1: Jay Harris on that defensive line seven tackles, and a
- 33:17Speaker 1: tackle for loss as well. Those were your main leaders
- 33:20Speaker 1: there defensively. Zach Pexter also had a sack. Jackson Barr
- 33:24Speaker 1: had one and a half sacks, so they Burlington is
- 33:27Speaker 1: not throwing too much, but when they did, Lennon was
- 33:30Speaker 1: able to put that pressure on make things difficult. Brody
- 33:33Speaker 1: Price also with three passes broken up, you know, one
- 33:36Speaker 1: of the best safeties around. So a good complete team
- 33:39Speaker 1: effort for the Linnen Lions with a twenty one to
- 33:42Speaker 1: seven win over Burlington Edison, which was Yeah, it was
- 33:46Speaker 1: really really good to see get them kind of back
- 33:48Speaker 1: on track and you know, just another week and get
- 33:51Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs. Here now we're gonna go down
- 33:54Speaker 1: to Everett where the Seahom Mariners took on the Archbishop
- 33:57Speaker 1: Murphy Wildcats, and boy, it was scary. I think I
- 34:01Speaker 1: even wrote the story, you know, the scariest thing on
- 34:03Speaker 1: Halloween night was the peer efficiency of Archbishop Murphy. It
- 34:08Speaker 1: was forty two to zero after the first quarter, and
- 34:11Speaker 1: I think I'd written down all sorts of things, like
- 34:13Speaker 1: their first three rushing plays all went for touchdowns. I
- 34:16Speaker 1: think they had four offensive plays at one point when
- 34:20Speaker 1: they were up thirty five zero, so the team had
- 34:24Speaker 1: scored five touchdowns. They had only ran four offensive plays
- 34:27Speaker 1: to that point. In the first quarter alone. They scored
- 34:30Speaker 1: touchdowns in all three phases in the game, three on offense,
- 34:34Speaker 1: two on defense, and a punt return. Again, this is
- 34:37Speaker 1: all in the first quarter. Siom was without and let's
- 34:40Speaker 1: get ready for this. Here's an all star lineup. This
- 34:42Speaker 1: is who they did not play. Nolan Wright, Hudson, Neff,
- 34:46Speaker 1: Al Miller, Laki Funga, Tua Sawyer Woods. Those are just
- 34:50Speaker 1: the five off the top of my head that did
- 34:52Speaker 1: not play. There could have been more. And those are
- 34:55Speaker 1: some big time players there, and none of them suited up.
- 34:59Speaker 1: So they he went into it very very different looking
- 35:01Speaker 1: jadd and Geiger at quarterback, handing the ball off to
- 35:05Speaker 1: Tyson Goodman, the tight end who had He had a
- 35:09Speaker 1: phenomenal game. I mean, just his effort alone in that game,
- 35:14Speaker 1: in my mind, just shot him up like ten spots
- 35:16Speaker 1: on the top one hundred list. I thought that he
- 35:18Speaker 1: went in unafraid, give me the ball. I'm gonna do
- 35:22Speaker 1: what I can. He had well, I should say this,
- 35:26Speaker 1: Seahom had one hundred and thirty four yards of offense.
- 35:30Speaker 1: He had one hundred and twenty three of them. I mean,
- 35:32Speaker 1: it was all him. And then you look on the
- 35:34Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, and he led them on defense.
- 35:36Speaker 1: He had seven tackles, two tackles for loss, and he
- 35:39Speaker 1: blocked a field. I mean, I can't say enough about
- 35:43Speaker 1: Tyson Goodman. And I'm excited to talk to Coach young
- 35:46Speaker 1: In in a few days to talk to him on
- 35:49Speaker 1: the Gatory game day preview about Tyson Goodman because I
- 35:53Speaker 1: really want to get his perspective on him, because I
- 35:55Speaker 1: think he's gonna have some great things to say. I
- 35:57Speaker 1: loved what he did last year late in the playoffs
- 35:59Speaker 1: and doing different things, and he earned himself a spot
- 36:01Speaker 1: on that top one hundred list. But what he did
- 36:03Speaker 1: against Archbishop Murphy, uh, really really told me a lot.
- 36:07Speaker 1: You know, the lineman fought hard. You know Logan Rogers
- 36:10Speaker 1: and Cole Terrell and Finsites, Greg Warre and Hunter State
- 36:14Speaker 1: and and and you know all those guys Braid nor Tees,
- 36:16Speaker 1: Braid Norties. The big man even got a carry. He
- 36:19Speaker 1: was playing like some up back and he got it.
- 36:21Speaker 1: He he took a handoff and got a yard. That
- 36:24Speaker 1: was pretty cool to see. But it was all Archbishop
- 36:26Speaker 1: Murphy and we kind of knew that going in. Chad
- 36:29Speaker 1: and Geiger stood in there at quarterback. First first you start,
- 36:34Speaker 1: and but it was tough, you know, defensively, like I said,
- 36:38Speaker 1: Goodman was kind of the main guy on defensive that
- 36:40Speaker 1: col Terrell did well. He had a tackle for a
- 36:43Speaker 1: loss as well. But I mean it was it was
- 36:45Speaker 1: apparent that that's a really good team over there, and uh,
- 36:50Speaker 1: you know they're probably you know, getting fitted for their
- 36:54Speaker 1: championship rings already and stuff. I mean, that is just
- 36:57Speaker 1: that's a different that's a different animal right there, especially
- 36:59Speaker 1: at the two so CeAl Mariners. They dropped to five
- 37:04Speaker 1: and four, but they are in the round of thirty
- 37:06Speaker 1: two where they will host Sela on Saturday at Civic
- 37:09Speaker 1: Stadium at two o'clock. And again, like I said, we
- 37:11Speaker 1: will talk about that on Thursday afternoon or I'm sorry,
- 37:15Speaker 1: Thursday morning. We will talk that about that on the
- 37:18Speaker 1: next podcast that comes out. So yeah, that was that game.
- 37:23Speaker 1: And for the final game of the weekend, we will
- 37:25Speaker 1: go to the coach's Corner where I will bring in
- 37:28Speaker 1: our favorite coach, Jeff Wood. Coach, you were at Ferndale
- 37:32Speaker 1: High School and they were hosting Edmunds Woodway in a
- 37:38Speaker 1: I almost joked and said around of sixty four, but
- 37:41Speaker 1: it felt like it. You had to win this game
- 37:44Speaker 1: to get into the round of thirty two, where you
- 37:46Speaker 1: have to win to get into the state tournament. It
- 37:48Speaker 1: was a thrilling game, you know. Tell us about kind
- 37:52Speaker 1: of what you saw.
- 37:54Speaker 2: Yeah, well it was a Saturday afternoon game, so not
- 38:00Speaker 2: not a very big crowd. Decent crowd, but not packed.
- 38:04Speaker 2: You know, the weather was not a factor at all. Uh,
- 38:07Speaker 2: Ferndale's kind of had kind of a middling year. You know,
- 38:11Speaker 2: they haven't been kind of their their normal uh, you know, dominant,
- 38:17Speaker 2: they're usually top of the league. So so that's been
- 38:20Speaker 2: a little tough. But they've they've shown glimpses. Uh and
- 38:26Speaker 2: you know, so, like you said, they have had to
- 38:28Speaker 2: win this one to advance to the thirty two. And yeah,
- 38:33Speaker 2: it was a kind of a slow start for him.
- 38:37Speaker 2: And they played again. Edmunds Woodway, who is uh pretty
- 38:42Speaker 2: good record, really good. I mean just looking at their
- 38:45Speaker 2: their players, good size, good athleticism. Uh, you know, some
- 38:50Speaker 2: big guys. Running back was well put together. Quarterback was
- 38:55Speaker 2: kind of not a real great athlete. He couldn't scramble
- 38:59Speaker 2: at all, but he had a good arm. Yeah, he
- 39:01Speaker 2: was kind of a statue back there, but he would
- 39:03Speaker 2: really they protected him well in the first half, and uh,
- 39:07Speaker 2: you know he was he was dotting his guys up
- 39:10Speaker 2: and hitting hitting some long passes and they were throwing
- 39:15Speaker 2: some screen passes and so they they had a good
- 39:18Speaker 2: first half, mostly through the air, but uh, a bit
- 39:22Speaker 2: on the ground as well. And you know, they they
- 39:26Speaker 2: scored twenty one and Ferndale only had the one. Ferndale
- 39:30Speaker 2: had one really good touchdown drive. Uh you know, put
- 39:34Speaker 2: that on the board and tied it at seven, but
- 39:36Speaker 2: then Edmonds would way scored twice more. So it was
- 39:39Speaker 2: twenty one to seven going into half. And you know,
- 39:43Speaker 2: when you you kind of have that vibe not the
- 39:46Speaker 2: greatest year and you know, not the greatest half, and
- 39:50Speaker 2: you could just kind of pack it in. But those guys,
- 39:53Speaker 2: the players, the coaches, they didn't didn't pack it in
- 39:56Speaker 2: and it was a great second half for the Golden Yeah.
- 40:00Speaker 1: And I want to touch on that really quickly because
- 40:03Speaker 1: you've been on that coaching staff with coach Blankovic, and
- 40:06Speaker 1: you know it's your last home game of the year now,
- 40:09Speaker 1: and these seniors this is the final time they'll be
- 40:11Speaker 1: playing on that field. And now we have a senior
- 40:14Speaker 1: class that's that's their home field. You know, they didn't
- 40:16Speaker 1: play on the old field. This is their home field.
- 40:19Speaker 1: And you're going in that locker room for your last
- 40:22Speaker 1: halftime all that stuff. Coach blank Vic has been around
- 40:25Speaker 1: a long time. With this win. Now he's at one
- 40:28Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine wins in his career and you've
- 40:32Speaker 1: been in there during halftime and what do you think
- 40:36Speaker 1: that he said or how do you think he got
- 40:38Speaker 1: them motivated? And I got to add on to that
- 40:41Speaker 1: is just what are his biggest strengths as a coach,
- 40:44Speaker 1: being that you've coached with him before, you know, I.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Just I think he knows who he is. Like you said,
- 40:51Speaker 2: he's been around a long time. He coached at Seahome
- 40:55Speaker 2: way back before he coached at Ferndale and then he's
- 40:58Speaker 2: been at Ferndale for.
- 40:59Speaker 1: A long time.
- 41:00Speaker 2: And so he's you know, he's not not trying to
- 41:04Speaker 2: be somebody who's who he's not. He's very intelligent. He
- 41:07Speaker 2: knows the game both sides of the ball, more so
- 41:10Speaker 2: on the defensive side.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Uh.
- 41:12Speaker 2: But you know, he was probably just upfront with him,
- 41:15Speaker 2: and you know, I don't think it was a too
- 41:18Speaker 2: much a raw raw. He probably just said, hey, guys,
- 41:20Speaker 2: this is this could be your last two quarters.
- 41:23Speaker 1: And you know, I know you.
- 41:25Speaker 2: He has confidence in his guys, and he probably told
- 41:28Speaker 2: him you have the ability to come back and win this,
- 41:30Speaker 2: and here's some adjustments we can make and if we
- 41:35Speaker 2: execute well, we can do this. And that's kind of
- 41:38Speaker 2: what happened. So, you know, he he's a guy that
- 41:43Speaker 2: kids love to play for, you know, because he's real.
- 41:46Speaker 2: He's not gonna, you know, if you screw up, he's
- 41:49Speaker 2: gonna tell you. He's gonna you know, when you do
- 41:51Speaker 2: something good, Uh, you know, he will will praise you
- 41:55Speaker 2: a little bit. And uh, you know, that's just just
- 41:58Speaker 2: a great guy, great, great person, great coach, and so
- 42:03Speaker 2: the kids love playing for him. As assistant coaches also
- 42:06Speaker 2: very knowledgeable and great guys. You got Donnie Hennings coaching
- 42:10Speaker 2: the O line. You got young guys Sky Freeman running
- 42:13Speaker 2: the defense, Jake's there running the offense now, Jake Locker.
- 42:18Speaker 2: So just the knowledge and depth and experience of that
- 42:24Speaker 2: coaching staff really makes a difference against the team. I mean,
- 42:30Speaker 2: the the other team had more talent.
- 42:32Speaker 1: I mean, you look at.
- 42:33Speaker 2: Both sides of the the field and the wood Way
- 42:39Speaker 2: guys I would say overall had more talent. But if
- 42:43Speaker 2: you execute better and you're better coached and make some
- 42:48Speaker 2: key play calls, then you can win, especially at home,
- 42:51Speaker 2: and Ferndale was able to do that in the second half.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Yeah, they started off, you know, they get they get
- 42:57Speaker 1: Edmunds Woodway to punt and then I don't know, two
- 43:01Speaker 1: plays later, Elliott Lentzen pops off an eighty four yard
- 43:04Speaker 1: touchdown run. We've seen that speed that he has, that
- 43:07Speaker 1: one cut that he has, and he could be gone,
- 43:11Speaker 1: you know sometimes. I mean it's just that seemed to
- 43:16Speaker 1: really change the momentum. Did you get that feel standing
- 43:19Speaker 1: on the sideline. Yeah.
- 43:21Speaker 2: I mean anytime you have a big more so a
- 43:26Speaker 2: running than passing, but a big play like that where
- 43:29Speaker 2: it's fifty plus yards, you know, that can definitely change
- 43:34Speaker 2: the momentum. And you know they were running their kind
- 43:37Speaker 2: of goal line because it was like a fourth and
- 43:40Speaker 2: one or something. They kind of noticed something. The coaches, obviously,
- 43:45Speaker 2: again being good coaches, that Edmonds wasn't adjusting to it.
- 43:50Speaker 2: So instead of just putting it back on the shelf
- 43:53Speaker 2: after fourth and one. You know, in those short yarded situations,
- 43:58Speaker 2: they kept on running in the middle of the field,
- 44:00Speaker 2: getting obviously the big touchdown run. They were getting close
- 44:05Speaker 2: to ten eleven yards of pop on it, and so
- 44:08Speaker 2: you got an extra gap in there, and then you
- 44:11Speaker 2: have an extra kind of up back, so you got
- 44:13Speaker 2: extra blocker. So they just kept on going to the well.
- 44:18Speaker 2: And like you said with Baker, I mean, Leopard do
- 44:20Speaker 2: that too. You'd run the same play times in a row.
- 44:23Speaker 2: And if you're not gonna stop it, no, I call
- 44:25Speaker 2: something else.
- 44:27Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Yeah. John Stanek ripped off that fifty
- 44:30Speaker 1: two yard run on a fourth and one. With that
- 44:33Speaker 1: what I call hurry up heavy, And what I mean
- 44:35Speaker 1: by that is they break out of the huddle and
- 44:37Speaker 1: they sprint up to the ball and it's I mean
- 44:40Speaker 1: as as quickly as they can get set. They will
- 44:42Speaker 1: get set and then snap the ball catch a team
- 44:45Speaker 1: off guard. They've been doing that for the last I
- 44:46Speaker 1: don't know, five six years with some success on you know,
- 44:51Speaker 1: short yardage situations, and they saw something and by that
- 44:56Speaker 1: time it's you know, it's tied up and they they're
- 45:00Speaker 1: right at midfield. They ran it like five or six
- 45:02Speaker 1: times in a row, and that up back is Cole Larson.
- 45:05Speaker 1: It colds a fun story because he played at Lyndon
- 45:08Speaker 1: Christian the last couple of years. He's a Ferndale kid.
- 45:11Speaker 1: He's transferred back to Ferndale for his senior year. Of course,
- 45:14Speaker 1: with the transfer, you've got to sit out a bunch
- 45:16Speaker 1: of games, so he didn't. So he was just kind
- 45:18Speaker 1: of a late bloomer to everything. Didn't get to suit
- 45:21Speaker 1: up until halfway through the season and he started getting
- 45:24Speaker 1: some carries and doing some different things, playing some defense
- 45:26Speaker 1: last week. This week he returned. You know, I had
- 45:29Speaker 1: over one hundred yards and kickoff returns. He had to
- 45:31Speaker 1: get another long one. He had seven tackles and a
- 45:34Speaker 1: sack on defense, and then he was the up back
- 45:37Speaker 1: on this on this hurry up heavy and uh and
- 45:41Speaker 1: he's blocking guys and it's just it's not it's it's
- 45:44Speaker 1: almost like they signed a free agent right in the
- 45:46Speaker 1: middle of the season that could kind of jack of
- 45:47Speaker 1: all trades kind of guy. And uh so it's a
- 45:50Speaker 1: it's a really cool thing to see. Edmunds. Woodway does
- 45:54Speaker 1: score a touchdown again at the end of the third
- 45:57Speaker 1: quarter to take the lead back, but boy, Ferndale really
- 46:01Speaker 1: put it away in the fourth quarter, and then there
- 46:03Speaker 1: was a big play at the very end.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so they were up one, so they're
- 46:11Speaker 2: kind of protecting the lead because Woodway missed their pat. Yeah,
- 46:15Speaker 2: and Ferndale made their so special teams great, they made
- 46:19Speaker 2: all their pats and then their defense, you know, great
- 46:23Speaker 2: adjustments by the defense as well, kind of kind of
- 46:26Speaker 2: loosening up the path coverage, given a little bit more
- 46:31Speaker 2: help there in the secondary, and so they were able
- 46:35Speaker 2: to you know, stop wood Way with like seven minutes left, right,
- 46:42Speaker 2: so they're you know, having assaulted away a bit. And
- 46:46Speaker 2: then they were I think it was about the thirty
- 46:50Speaker 2: five forty yard line or so, I don't know exactly where,
- 46:53Speaker 2: but somewhere around midfield, and they'd been running counter tray,
- 46:58Speaker 2: right guard, tackle poll and sweep with the two guards.
- 47:02Speaker 2: But it seemed to me on field level, which.
- 47:05Speaker 1: Is where I was watching.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Fun it's a little a little hard to tell every
- 47:09Speaker 2: play which one is which, but it looked like countertrait
- 47:12Speaker 2: because you had the kickout and then guy coming up
- 47:18Speaker 2: the hole in front of the running back and that
- 47:21Speaker 2: just hit just like the Red Sea parting and to
- 47:26Speaker 2: the house on another touchdown to extend the lead and
- 47:31Speaker 2: make the pat again, So that kind of salted it away.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Although Edmunds did have a shot. They hit a couple
- 47:40Speaker 2: of passes and kind of had a hail mary very
- 47:43Speaker 2: last play fourth and goal or fourth and forty from
- 47:47Speaker 2: the forty whatever it was on the last play of
- 47:49Speaker 2: the game, and a guy kind of got opened deep
- 47:53Speaker 2: and quarterback found him for a second and he was
- 47:57Speaker 2: bringing it in and nice play about safety was a
- 48:01Speaker 2: Parker McManus, I think, yeah, yeah, and kind of knocked
- 48:04Speaker 2: it out. And that was, you know, dramatic ending to
- 48:09Speaker 2: because with eight points, if they would have scored, they
- 48:11Speaker 2: would have got a two point conversion and would have
- 48:13Speaker 2: gone to overtime. So it was down to the down
- 48:17Speaker 2: to the end there.
- 48:18Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with that kind of spread offense that they're running,
- 48:22Speaker 1: they get like a guy that you can throw it
- 48:23Speaker 1: around a lot a two point conversion. You got a
- 48:26Speaker 1: lot of plays in the bag at that point where
- 48:28Speaker 1: you never know, just a quick rub route or something
- 48:31Speaker 1: that could happen quick and they can get two. But
- 48:33Speaker 1: a big play by McManus. He made all five of
- 48:35Speaker 1: his extra points deep kickoffs. He's a kid that's been
- 48:40Speaker 1: making a difference on the defensive side of the ball
- 48:42Speaker 1: and on special teams and just an underclassman, Elliott Lentson
- 48:46Speaker 1: reaches two hundred and sixty six yards on twenty one carries,
- 48:49Speaker 1: Jonathan Stanic one hundred and forty four yards on seventeen carries.
- 48:53Speaker 1: We saw Ferndale basically average ten yards to carry for
- 48:56Speaker 1: the entire game. And that's you know, that's kind of
- 49:00Speaker 1: how Ferndale when they're rolling, used to be like you,
- 49:04Speaker 1: like you when you when you were there with Coole
- 49:06Speaker 1: Samou and Ben Brossel and I mean, Justice Powell and
- 49:09Speaker 1: those kind of guys. I mean, that was that was scary.
- 49:13Speaker 1: And when Ferndale can get things rolling like this, it's
- 49:15Speaker 1: a young offensive line, but they're seeming like they're playing
- 49:19Speaker 1: really well together right now. And you know, so now
- 49:22Speaker 1: they play Cheni at you know, in Genie and at
- 49:27Speaker 1: rus Field at Eastern Washington University for the round of
- 49:30Speaker 1: thirty two. I don't know anything about Chenie High School,
- 49:35Speaker 1: but you know, as far as I know, it's uh
- 49:39Speaker 1: that they're ranked. I think, so what kind of chances
- 49:42Speaker 1: do you give the Golden Eagles here?
- 49:44Speaker 2: You know, you never know, it's a long road trip,
- 49:47Speaker 2: but they definitely have nothing to lose, right, So you're
- 49:51Speaker 2: not playing tight, You're not the team that's supposed to win.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Chenie I've heard is pretty solid team, you know, being
- 49:59Speaker 2: in a universe see town. They probably have some sons
- 50:02Speaker 2: of some coaches right at Eastern maybe, and those kids
- 50:05Speaker 2: are usually pretty good athletes. Uh. But again with just
- 50:10Speaker 2: that you know, that second half and kind of that
- 50:14Speaker 2: spark and the you know, the seniors wanting to you know,
- 50:18Speaker 2: end on a on a good note and a good
- 50:20Speaker 2: run and not end their season, right, and so and
- 50:24Speaker 2: those younger kids stepping up because I think overall it's
- 50:28Speaker 2: you know, probably a decently young team. Uh, you know
- 50:32Speaker 2: with that line kind of gelling and the running backs
- 50:36Speaker 2: uh doing well. Chance Hatchet, you know that that's a
- 50:39Speaker 2: huge position besides just the regular line, the tight end
- 50:43Speaker 2: and the wing tea, right because it's such a huge
- 50:47Speaker 2: block on a lot of wing t plays. And then
- 50:49Speaker 2: he's also such a good athlete in the passing game
- 50:53Speaker 2: on on the you know, the boot pass or you know,
- 50:56Speaker 2: any any sort of passing plays out of the wing tea.
- 50:59Speaker 2: So I think, you know, they're gonna give it their
- 51:03Speaker 2: best shot and you know, let the chips fall where
- 51:06Speaker 2: they may and uh, you know, hope they and all
- 51:10Speaker 2: the Wotcome County teams, a lot of them still playing,
- 51:13Speaker 2: and they're a round to thirty two and the round
- 51:15Speaker 2: to twenty four for the one A so pretty exciting
- 51:18Speaker 2: times for a lot of teams.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Yeah, just like that, we snapped our fingers and we're
- 51:23Speaker 1: right there and it's just crazy. It just it comes
- 51:26Speaker 1: so fast. But I'm so glad you've been along for
- 51:28Speaker 1: the ride, Coach, and and we'll probably u we don't
- 51:32Speaker 1: know exactly where you're going to be this upcoming week,
- 51:34Speaker 1: but hopefully you'll be able to cover another game and
- 51:36Speaker 1: we'll be able to talk a week from now. Thank
- 51:38Speaker 1: you so much for joining me, and I'll talk to
- 51:40Speaker 1: you later, coach.
- 51:42Speaker 2: All right, thanks Tyler, Well, thank.
- 51:44Speaker 1: You Coach Wood for all the great work you've done
- 51:47Speaker 1: this year, and especially that game out there at Ferndale
- 51:50Speaker 1: High School on Saturday. It was a heck of a game.
- 51:53Speaker 1: I thought a lot of guys played really well, Mike,
- 51:56Speaker 1: like he said, I mean, the second half was probably
- 51:58Speaker 1: their best half of the year. Uh. Great, great job.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Let's to go to the players of the week now
- 52:05Speaker 1: and We're gonna start off with offensive player of the Week.
- 52:07Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week has brought to you by
- 52:09Speaker 1: Phoenix Coffee. You can check them out at eleven bell
- 52:11Speaker 1: weather Way and Sweet one oh four in Bellingham, and
- 52:15Speaker 1: you give him a call. Three six zero seven one
- 52:18Speaker 1: five one zero five zero the Phoenix Coffee Offensive Player
- 52:22Speaker 1: of the Week. And there was a few directions I
- 52:24Speaker 1: could have gone really really really really hard to keep
- 52:28Speaker 1: Elliot Lenson out of this, but I am gonna go

- 53:30Speaker 1: one and a half tackles for lost and an interception
- 53:33Speaker 1: helping shut out the Omac Pioneers thirty to zero. That defense.

- 53:40Speaker 1: the Mount Baker defense, the you can you can you
- 53:43Speaker 1: can throw on them a little bit, or you can
