2:06
Speaker 1: took place at Civic Stadium this past week. It's it
2:09
Speaker 1: was It was kind of an interesting race because I
2:12
Speaker 1: was there for pretty much the whole thing. A lot
2:15
Speaker 1: of fans there, JV races, girls and boys, Varsity races,
2:19
Speaker 1: girls and boys, and what I loved about it was
2:21
Speaker 1: that it was a civic Civic Stadium. What I loved
2:24
Speaker 1: about it was you know, the weather was great, crisp,
2:29
Speaker 1: but you got to see all the schools at one time,
2:33
Speaker 1: and that was so cool. I've been to a bunch
2:35
Speaker 1: of cross country meets this year where you know, you
2:37
Speaker 1: get four schools, five schools, and you get to see
2:40
Speaker 1: a lot of runners, and you see you compare times
2:43
Speaker 1: at different races, at different events, and but this is
2:45
Speaker 1: when they're all there at the exact same time, you
2:47
Speaker 1: really get a visual of, you know, who's the best.
2:51
Speaker 1: And it was just so cool to be there and
2:54
Speaker 1: and and witness all the all the tremendous athletes that
2:57
Speaker 1: were out there. On the girls side, see Home took
3:00
Speaker 1: home the championship Anacorda second, Meridian third, Bellingham fourth, Linden fifth.
3:06
Speaker 1: On the boys' side, Seaholm won the championship Anacorda second,
3:09
Speaker 1: Bellingham third, Lakewood fourth, and Burlington Edison fifth. In the
3:15
Speaker 1: individual times and places and stuff like that, we're gonna
3:19
Speaker 1: go over the top eight here, all from Walkham County.
3:22
Speaker 1: On the girls side, first place was Sloane Dixon of
3:25
Speaker 1: Linden seventeen minutes twenty eight point eight seconds. Behind her

3:36
Speaker 1: minutes and seventeen seconds. Logan Ignacio of Meridian took fifth
3:40
Speaker 1: eighteen minutes forty eight point nine seconds, Wren Dixon of
3:44
Speaker 1: Lindon sixth place nineteen minutes four point two seconds, Norah
3:48
Speaker 1: Alexander of Bellingham took seventh nineteen minutes and ten and
3:52
Speaker 1: a half seconds, and Paige Rix of Seaholme took eighth
3:56
Speaker 1: nineteen minutes eleven point four seconds. On the boys' side,
4:01
Speaker 1: it was no surprise Dylan Howell vana Chordis took first place,
4:06
Speaker 1: but you know, not a Walkham County runner, but always
4:11
Speaker 1: does tremendous things, and I'm sure he's kind of the
4:13
Speaker 1: odds on favorite to win the state championship once again
4:16
Speaker 1: at two way. But if you look at rounding out
4:20
Speaker 1: the rest of the top ten, they were all Walkham
4:22
Speaker 1: County runners. Second place was Berkeley Pass of Bellingham fifteen
4:26
Speaker 1: minutes four point eight seconds, Third place Nicholas LUs of

4:37
Speaker 1: point eight. Fifth place Reuben Taveldi of Meridian fifteen forty five.
4:43
Speaker 1: Sixth place was Judson Bareth of Seahome at fifteen forty
4:46
Speaker 1: six and seventh place tied was a couple of runners,

4:57
Speaker 1: Rush of Squalicum sixteen minutes point four seconds, and in
5:01
Speaker 1: tenth place was Aiden Batt of Sea Home sixteen minutes
5:04
Speaker 1: five point one seconds. Really fun race out there, some
5:08
Speaker 1: of it on the track, some of it in the trees,
5:11
Speaker 1: up and down, you know, incline decline, all sorts of
5:14
Speaker 1: different things. So that was really really cool to see,
5:18
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. I I got to I introduced
5:22
Speaker 1: myself to that Seahome trio Kreson, Ludeman, Sloan Clients and
5:26
Speaker 1: Little Desler and just tell them that, you know, I'm
5:28
Speaker 1: just a huge fan and I love what they do,
5:30
Speaker 1: and and you know, they we'll see how they do
5:35
Speaker 1: as a team once they get to state a lot
5:37
Speaker 1: of state championships in a row there and and we'll
5:40
Speaker 1: just have to wait and see and that brings us
5:43
Speaker 1: to this Stopper Insurance Runner of the Week and we got,
5:47
Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot to choose from here.
5:49
Speaker 1: As you know, everybody was in attendance here pretty much
5:53
Speaker 1: and and got a lot of you know, great finishes
5:56
Speaker 1: and top times and different things like that. But when
6:00
Speaker 1: I looked at everything, and I looked at kind of
6:03
Speaker 1: who I saw who just competed, and I thought, really
6:06
Speaker 1: elevated their game in this race, I'm going with bains
6:09
Speaker 1: Machinski out of Bellingham. I thought that him staying with
6:12
Speaker 1: Nicholas Loose was really really impressive, almost taking third place.
6:17
Speaker 1: They're finishing in fourth right behind Nicholas Loose. So I'm
6:19
Speaker 1: going with bains Machinski out of Bellingham for the Stopper
6:23
Speaker 1: Insurance Runner of the Week. Let's jump over to girls
6:28
Speaker 1: swimming and diving and the regular season is now over
6:32
Speaker 1: and it's it's crazy because with the ten different schools
6:37
Speaker 1: that compete in the Northwest Conference, you know, it's straight
6:43
Speaker 1: up and down. The top team was nine to oh,
6:45
Speaker 1: next team was eight and one, next team was seven
6:47
Speaker 1: and two and so on. So Anna Chordis is your
6:50
Speaker 1: Northwest Conference champs at nine and oh Seaholme was eight
6:52
Speaker 1: and one, Bellingham seven and two, ok Harver six and three,
6:56
Speaker 1: Mount Vernon five and four, Lynden four and five, squaled
6:59
Speaker 1: Them three and six, Burlington Edison was two and seven,
7:01
Speaker 1: Suitser Woolie one and eight and Ferndale oh to nine.
7:05
Speaker 1: I tell you this past week, Seehome and Bellingham had
7:07
Speaker 1: an amazing meet decided by one point one point. And
7:12
Speaker 1: you start thinking about that fifth place finisher in some
7:16
Speaker 1: race that they may not have had any clue that
7:19
Speaker 1: they would. You know, they are that important in that
7:23
Speaker 1: in the overall team aspect of things, and finishing fifth
7:26
Speaker 1: place gets you a point for your team. And Seeom
7:29
Speaker 1: had that extra point that they needed to beat Belliam.
7:33
Speaker 1: And we look at the top times and overall with
7:37

Speaker 1: go into the state turn. But the state tournament doesn't
11:01
Speaker 1: take place until May when the weather gets a little
11:04
Speaker 1: better down there. At the Northstrom Center in Seattle, it

11:42
Speaker 1: Baker and Matt Benson Benson of Bringston Edison will be
11:45
Speaker 1: alternates at state as they took third place as a team.
11:48
Speaker 1: So you know, a lot of Walking County flavor heading
11:51
Speaker 1: over to state. That's awesome to see. So Harley Kaiser
11:55
Speaker 1: on the year undefeated, so he's going to be one
11:58
Speaker 1: of the favorites the scene. What a tremendous athlete. He's
12:01
Speaker 1: a kid that you know, grew up playing football and
12:04
Speaker 1: probably could be a huge contributor to the football team,
12:07
Speaker 1: but chose a different path, went tennis and has been
12:11
Speaker 1: dominating this year and and so we hope all the best.
12:15
Speaker 1: And I mean that's what's kind of neat about this
12:18
Speaker 1: is he gets to practice his game for you know,
12:21
Speaker 1: six months, get ready for state tournament, and and I
12:25
Speaker 1: can imagine that with his work ethic, he's going to
12:27
Speaker 1: be ready to go in May. I'm excited for that.
12:31
Speaker 1: We will revisit that in a six or seven months.
12:36
Speaker 1: And girls, he's jumped a girls soccer now of course.

12:46
Speaker 1: Such a tremendous sponsor, Like I always say, the first
12:48
Speaker 1: one to lock me in for multiple years and then
12:52
Speaker 1: so that gives me the confidence to believe in myself
12:54
Speaker 1: keep doing what I'm doing. I'm always questioning, I'm always
12:57
Speaker 1: asking different things. People are always coming up to me
12:59
Speaker 1: and going I love listening to the podcast. I listened
13:02
Speaker 1: to it, you know, I catch fifteen minutes of it
13:05

13:06
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of it when I drive home, and it
13:09
Speaker 1: always makes me feel like, Okay, I got to keep
13:11
Speaker 1: doing this. Then I guess that's the podcast is one
13:15
Speaker 1: of those weird things where I don't really know if
13:19
Speaker 1: it's beneficial. I don't know who's really listening, but I
13:24
Speaker 1: just keep getting swarms of people telling me that they
13:26
Speaker 1: love it, so I guess I just keep going with it.
13:29
Speaker 1: We'll have to see, but let's take a look at
13:33
Speaker 1: the standings first. In girls soccer, and the regular season
13:41

Speaker 1: eight five and two, Lenny Christian the top one A
14:07
Speaker 1: team at eight six and one. That's gonna be so
14:09
Speaker 1: tough being a one A team facing all these two
14:11
Speaker 1: a's and three a's and and uh, but you know
14:14
Speaker 1: you're battle tested and hopefully it hopes in. Hopefully it
14:17
Speaker 1: helps in the postseason. Mount Vernon six five and four,

14:36
Speaker 1: standings now as uh, we're gonna be jumping right into
14:41
Speaker 1: the playoffs coming up this upcoming week and we'll be
14:43
Speaker 1: talking about that when we talk about what to look
14:47
Speaker 1: for this this upcoming week. When you look at the
14:50
Speaker 1: goal leaders, it's looks like we have eleven in the
14:55
Speaker 1: top ten. So we got a four way tie for
14:57
Speaker 1: eighth place. Estella Siegal, senior out of Lynn and Christian,
15:01
Speaker 1: Avery Riddle, the sophomore out of Bellingham, Ava Simons, the
15:05
Speaker 1: senior out of Squalicum, and Teagan Ambrose, sophomore at of Ferndale,
15:09
Speaker 1: all have nine goals so far on the season, and
15:13
Speaker 1: a couple of players with ten goals Ruby Bellermino, the
15:16
Speaker 1: freshman from Blaine, and Kylie Ifsovic of Seahome, the junior.
15:20
Speaker 1: They each have ten goals. Kylie had had a hat
15:23
Speaker 1: trick earlier in the week. A couple of Lyndon Christian
15:27
Speaker 1: players with eleven goals, Nayla Spear, the junior and the
15:30
Speaker 1: sophomore Kaylin Hinton each have eleven on the year. Senior
15:35
Speaker 1: from Lyndon Christian Kayla Yun has fifteen goals on the
15:38
Speaker 1: season and she is that's good for third place. In
15:41
Speaker 1: second place is Addie Wilson of Squalkum, the sophomore with
15:44
Speaker 1: seventeen goals. And your leader is Seahome senior Ryan Bain
15:49
Speaker 1: with nineteen goals on the year. Of course, as the
15:52
Speaker 1: postseason continues, I will keep adding to these numbers. That's
15:57
Speaker 1: just what I traditionally do, just keep adding, you know it.
16:00
Speaker 1: You could say, well, it's beneficial for certain teams they
16:02
Speaker 1: keep playing. Well, I mean that's what they earned, They
16:04
Speaker 1: earned the right to keep playing, and so these numbers
16:07
Speaker 1: will go towards their final statistics. So so I will
16:13
Speaker 1: keep bringing you this the goal leaders as we continue,
16:16
Speaker 1: as teams start to fade away, but certain teams won't
16:20
Speaker 1: and as long as they keep playing, I'll keep bringing
16:22
Speaker 1: it to you. So so those are your goal leaders,
16:25
Speaker 1: brought to you by North County Alliance FC. And now
16:29
Speaker 1: it's the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week.
16:33
Speaker 1: And I looked at around a lot of different things
16:35
Speaker 1: and there's a couple of different avenues I could have
16:37
Speaker 1: gone down, but I'm going with Bellingham junior Sophia Dione.
16:42
Speaker 1: I just thought that Bellingham finished really strong. She scored
16:46
Speaker 1: three goals in the two games that they played this week, finishing,
16:50
Speaker 1: like I said, finishing out strong, getting wins. And they're
16:54
Speaker 1: going to hopefully ride that wave into the district tournament
16:59
Speaker 1: coming up this week. And so Bellingham Junior Sophia Dione.
17:03
Speaker 1: I hope I'm pronouncing her last name right. I'm all
17:06
Speaker 1: here about it. If I'm not, she is your North
17:09
Speaker 1: County Alliance FC player of the week. Let's jump into

Speaker 1: Willie and Lakewood are each two and eleven, and Mount Baker.
18:17
Speaker 1: It shows Mount Baker with with zero league wins, but
18:21
Speaker 1: that's wrong because they beat Lake wuiod. So thank you
18:24
Speaker 1: very much in WC Conference or Nwcathletics dot com for
18:29
Speaker 1: not updating that. You can go to walkompreps dot com
18:32
Speaker 1: and see that there is a win in that column.
18:34
Speaker 1: So not that I'm bitter or anything like that. The
18:38
Speaker 1: huge match that took play so well, there was a
18:40
Speaker 1: couple of them. I mean Mount Baker beating Lakewood picking
18:43
Speaker 1: up the first conference win since beating Mount Vernon in
18:46
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, that was huge. But my goodness, Squalicam
18:50
Speaker 1: defeating Seahome, that was There was so much electricity in
18:54
Speaker 1: that atmosphere. Senior night. They just played fantastic. The storm did.
19:00
Speaker 1: And it's tricky because when you win those first two sets,
19:03
Speaker 1: the other team gets so jacked up. And we've seen it,
19:06
Speaker 1: I don't know, four or five times this year, the
19:08
Speaker 1: reverse sweep around the county where a team wins the
19:11
Speaker 1: first two and then the other team comes back and
19:13
Speaker 1: wins the next three. I think we saw that. Saw
19:16
Speaker 1: Lindon do that to knok Sak, We saw k Nooksack
19:20
Speaker 1: do that to Lyndon Christian. We saw i'm Aridian do
19:22
Speaker 1: it to Lynnon Christian. We saw Bellingham do it to
19:25
Speaker 1: somebody Lakewood, I think, and then we just saw and
19:29
Speaker 1: then so what I'm saying is you're you think it's
19:33
Speaker 1: it's prime to happen with see hom to come back
19:35
Speaker 1: and win the next three. They did come back and
19:36
Speaker 1: win the next two before squalok them turned the tables
19:39
Speaker 1: and won the fifth sets. So unbelievable job by them.
19:43
Speaker 1: And uh hopefully, I mean, you know they can they
19:47
Speaker 1: can ride that wave right now and see them will
19:50
Speaker 1: they'll they'll regroup, they'll be fine. They're so good. But
19:53
Speaker 1: it was just, you know, it was just not their night.
19:57
Speaker 1: And Squaloum played fantastic. So so yeah, those are the standings.
20:04
Speaker 1: We could take a look at the stat leaders now

Speaker 1: defensive player of the week brought to you by Acceleration
22:30
Speaker 1: Driving School in London. Check out Acceleration Driving School in Linden.
22:34
Speaker 1: Give Kevin a call at three six zero seven four
22:37
Speaker 1: six four five six seven and tell him you heard
22:41
Speaker 1: about them on the Walcome Preps podcast. You have a
22:44
Speaker 1: kid that needs to learn how to drive, bingo that
22:47
Speaker 1: right there. I mean they are supporting youth sports, so
22:51
Speaker 1: I mean give them the business that they're the first
22:53
Speaker 1: ones to go to if you have someone that needs
22:56
Speaker 1: to learn how to drive. We're gonna look at the
22:58
Speaker 1: offensive player of the week, and of course no sponsor
23:00
Speaker 1: for the offensive player of the week. I call it
23:02
Speaker 1: the Walkam Preps Offensive Player of the Week and I'm
23:05
Speaker 1: going with Meridian sophomore Melanie Short. Just a big time week.
23:10
Speaker 1: Not only a ton of kills, but a really high
23:14
Speaker 1: hitting percentage which can go a long way. You can
23:17
Speaker 1: get a ton of kills. But if you get a
23:19
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities, and if you're hitting them and they're
23:22
Speaker 1: getting blocked, or you're hitting them and they're going long,
23:26
Speaker 1: you know you're hitting percentage is not going to be
23:27
Speaker 1: as good. You might get your hand your hand full
23:31
Speaker 1: of kills there, but if you're getting a hitting percentage
23:34
Speaker 1: in the three four hundreds, then you're really doing damage.
23:37
Speaker 1: And that's what Melanie Short at a Meridian did this
23:40
Speaker 1: past week. So congratulations to her. She's the Walkam Preps
23:43
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week and the defensive player of
23:47
Speaker 1: the week. The Acceleration Driving School and Linden Defensive Player
23:50
Speaker 1: of the Week is Squalakum or Squalaham junior Bronwyn Jones.
23:56
Speaker 1: My goodness, she was getting after everything in the back court,
23:58
Speaker 1: especially against Seahome. I had a ton of digs and
24:02
Speaker 1: moving herself up that Diggs list right now. And yeah,
24:06
Speaker 1: so Bronwin Jones out of Squalkum the junior, she's your
24:10
Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School in Linden defensive player of the week.
24:14
Speaker 1: All right, let's look at what's coming up this week,
24:20
Speaker 1: and there's you know, there's some postseason stuff starting to happen.
24:24
Speaker 1: For a lot of these sports. Now when you look
24:25
Speaker 1: at Monday, there's a couple of big things going on.
24:28
Speaker 1: Of course, one a girls soccer. You got the first
24:31
Speaker 1: round playing game between Mount Baker and Meridian that will
24:35
Speaker 1: be at seven o'clock at Blaine High School and it's
24:38
Speaker 1: loser out, winner goes on. So for one of these teams,
24:42
Speaker 1: that will be the end of the season. Now, I
24:44
Speaker 1: believe when they played each other in the regular season,
24:46
Speaker 1: I think Meridian won five to three, so that was
24:48
Speaker 1: a close game. I'm expecting another close one out at
24:51
Speaker 1: Blaine High School should be a good one. The winner
24:54
Speaker 1: will go on to face Lynden Christian on Saturday at
24:57
Speaker 1: one point thirty at Blaine High School in the district tournament.
25:01
Speaker 1: The loser, like I said, they will be done for
25:03
Speaker 1: the year. Also on Monday night at seven o'clock, same
25:06
Speaker 1: time out at Ferndale Sea Home at Ferndale. That's going
25:10
Speaker 1: to be a tremendous matchup for volleyball, and this will
25:13
Speaker 1: be basically the battle for second place. They are both
25:16
Speaker 1: tied for second place right now and I expect an
25:20
Speaker 1: awesome matchup here. We're gonna have to see if Sea
25:23
Speaker 1: Home can rebound from that loss. At Squalicum Ferndale right now.
25:28
Speaker 1: They had a few losses a week and a half ago.
25:30
Speaker 1: They're going to start building back up again. So I
25:32
Speaker 1: think this will be a great, great matchup. I'm hoping
25:37
Speaker 1: I can be there. I'm going to try to make
25:38
Speaker 1: it to the soccer game too, so I'll be kind
25:40
Speaker 1: of buzzing around all over the place. Seven o'clock at
25:43
Speaker 1: Ferndale High School, Seahome at Ferndale Volleyball. It's going to
25:46
Speaker 1: be a great one. When you look at Wednesday, another
25:50
Speaker 1: great volleyball matchup here, Meridian at Sea Home at seven o'clock.
25:55
Speaker 1: And again this is a really good one day school,
25:58
Speaker 1: really good two way school. A couple of schools looking
26:00
Speaker 1: at you know, making deep runs in the postseason. I
26:04
Speaker 1: think is gonna be as another great, great matchup. The
26:06
Speaker 1: Seahome atmosphere is fantastic. They get the band out there,
26:10
Speaker 1: the student section. It's you don't see a lot of
26:13
Speaker 1: bands playing at volleyball games, but you do at Seahome
26:17
Speaker 1: and it's really really cool. Meridian comes to town, very
26:20
Speaker 1: good team. That'll be seven o'clock Wednesday night out at
26:24
Speaker 1: Seahome High School. When you look at Thursday, the big
26:27
Speaker 1: thing to look at. There will be two a girls
26:30
Speaker 1: soccer and at that time there will be a lot
26:33
Speaker 1: of things going on there. Bellingham and Squalicum. They're gonna
26:37
Speaker 1: be facing each other at four thirty at Civic Stadium,
26:39
Speaker 1: so an early start there because they're gonna have a
26:41
Speaker 1: football game to follow. So four thirty at Civic Stadium,
26:45
Speaker 1: Bellingham versus Squalicum. The loser's not out, but the loser
26:49
Speaker 1: goes to the consolation bracket. The winner goes to the
26:52
Speaker 1: semi finals. And so that's gonna be a big time
26:56
Speaker 1: matchup there. Also, Linden will be down at Archbishop Murphy
26:59
Speaker 1: that that game will be at six o'clock on Thursday,
27:03
Speaker 1: and then Seahome will be playing. They're gonna be hosting
27:09
Speaker 1: a game and we don't know who they're gonna be
27:12
Speaker 1: playing yet. They're gonna be playing the winner of Lakewood
27:14
Speaker 1: and Marysville Pilchuck. Those two teams will be playing each
27:17
Speaker 1: other on Tuesday, but Seaholm will be hosting at seven
27:20
Speaker 1: o'clock on their home field. And again they're the one seats,
27:27
Speaker 1: so they're facing the winner of the eight to nine
27:29
Speaker 1: that'll be Mary's will Pilchuck in Lakewood, and that'll be
27:32
Speaker 1: seven o'clock on Thursday. So a lot going on Thursday
27:35
Speaker 1: soccer related. Of course, there will be football games that
27:37
Speaker 1: night as well, but we'll talk about that tomorrow's podcast.
27:41
Speaker 1: On Friday. Busy, busy day. A lot of stuff going
27:44
Speaker 1: on here. You start off with the cross country races,
27:47
Speaker 1: the Northwest District one one A Championships out at Deming
27:51
Speaker 1: Log Show. Boys race at two fifteen, girls race at
27:54
Speaker 1: two forty five. I was out there last year for this.
27:57
Speaker 1: It was really really cool. I love it out there
27:59
Speaker 1: at the Demigh Log Show. When I was a kid,
28:01
Speaker 1: I could ride my bike to get there. That's where
28:04
Speaker 1: I played all my Little league baseball games. So it's
28:06
Speaker 1: it's a really fun place for me to go and
28:08
Speaker 1: and just kind of walk around and see everything again,
28:11
Speaker 1: and it always feels at home being out there. That's
28:15
Speaker 1: gonna be great. The one day District Championships, like I said,
28:18
Speaker 1: boys are at two fifteen, girls are at two forty five,
28:21
Speaker 1: and then you got girl you got girls swimming. The
28:24
Speaker 1: B Championship meet at three point thirty at Arnie Hannah
28:28
Speaker 1: Aquatic Center. So this is kind of like kind of
28:32
Speaker 1: your next level swimmers that could try to qualify for
28:37
Speaker 1: Districts basically, and they're just you know, there are a
28:39
Speaker 1: lot of swimmers that have already qualified for districts, and
28:42
Speaker 1: these are the swimmers that are still trying to get there.
28:46
Speaker 1: You know. Coach Elsener correct me if I'm wrong, but
28:48
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure this is the case where this is
28:50
Speaker 1: kind of your last chance for your your next level
28:53
Speaker 1: swimmers to put up a great time and try to
28:56
Speaker 1: get there and qualify for Districts, which will be coming
28:59
Speaker 1: up the week after, so that'll be huge. And then
29:01
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Saturday is loaded with soccer and volleyball. As
29:07
Speaker 1: far as just postseason stuff goes, I don't know how
29:09
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this. I have to write about the
29:11
Speaker 1: football games, so I have to do that while also
29:14
Speaker 1: being on the road and checking out all these other matchups.
29:17
Speaker 1: But in one a girls soccer you're gonna have at
29:22
Speaker 1: eleven am Nuksack Valley at Blaine and that will be
29:27
Speaker 1: you know, the winner will go to the district soccer
29:31
Speaker 1: championship game, and then the next game will be Lyndon
29:33
Speaker 1: Christian at one point thirty taking on the winner of
29:36
Speaker 1: that Mount Baker Meridian game, so that'll be back to
29:39
Speaker 1: back doubleheader there at eleven o'clock and one thirty on Saturday.
29:43
Speaker 1: Those winners will face off the following week on the
29:47
Speaker 1: in the championship, and the losers will face off next
29:52
Speaker 1: week as well in a loser out game. So that's
29:54
Speaker 1: one a soccer in two a soccer. And there's still
29:59
Speaker 1: times you know, to be determined and stuff like that,
30:02
Speaker 1: but there will be semi final matchups at Civic Stadium.
30:06
Speaker 1: One of them will definitely be at three o'clock. The
30:08
Speaker 1: other one we don't know when that'll be. If that'll
30:10
Speaker 1: be before or after, we're not quite sure. There will
30:14
Speaker 1: also be consolation games going on at the higher seed,
30:18
Speaker 1: so there will be four matches going on. Two of
30:20
Speaker 1: them will be at Civic Stadium. It's just hard to
30:23
Speaker 1: say what times. Right now. We're still, you know, ways
30:26
Speaker 1: away from that as you're listening to it, we're still
30:29
Speaker 1: five days away from that. But those that's all the
30:32
Speaker 1: soccer that's gonna be happening. Volleyball, there's gonna be a
30:37
Speaker 1: ton going on, just as far as districts and different
30:41
Speaker 1: things like that. As i'm bringing it up right now.
30:45
Speaker 1: In one a there will be and this this is
30:49
Speaker 1: all that Meridian High School. You're gonna have the four
30:52
Speaker 1: and five seed playing each other, which will be Blaine
30:55
Speaker 1: in Mount Baker. So that will they will play each
30:58
Speaker 1: other at one o'clock in the south gym at Meridian
31:00
Speaker 1: High School. The loser's done for the season. The winner
31:03
Speaker 1: will go on to face the one seed. And of
31:06
Speaker 1: course the one, two, and three seeds are all going
31:08
Speaker 1: to be you know, Meridian and Knuksac Valley and Lennon Christian.
31:11
Speaker 1: Probably don't know that order right now. Of course by
31:14
Speaker 1: the time the regular season is over, that'll all be
31:17
Speaker 1: taken care of. But those three teams very highly regarded,
31:20
Speaker 1: all ranked in the top ten in the state. They
31:23
Speaker 1: will all be there welcoming in who who That fourth
31:27
Speaker 1: team is going to be, which I said, will be
31:30
Speaker 1: that one o'clock game between Blaine and Mount Baker. So
31:32
Speaker 1: there will be a game at three o'clock and five
31:34
Speaker 1: o'clock as well in the main north gym, and that
31:38
Speaker 1: will be out at Meridian High School. That is the
31:40
Speaker 1: one A tournament for volleyball in A two A. There's
31:45
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of stuff going on, but
31:48
Speaker 1: they won't be at Meridian High School on Saturday. They
31:51
Speaker 1: will be at the higher seed. So none of these
31:55
Speaker 1: teams have you know, already settled into what seed they're
31:59
Speaker 1: going to be, but you can expect to see Sea Home, Squalicum, Bellingham.
32:05
Speaker 1: They're all going to be involved in this. Linden for sure.
32:09
Speaker 1: Linden will be hosting most likely. So yeah, these are
32:14
Speaker 1: all kind of up in the air right now, but
32:16
Speaker 1: just keep just keep in mind that Saturday. If you
32:18
Speaker 1: follow a two way volleyball team, they will probably be
32:21
Speaker 1: playing postseason games on Saturdays, so be ready for that.
32:26
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's Saturday's loaded. Saturday's got a lot of
32:29
Speaker 1: things going on. Working on cloning myself, it's it's not
32:33
Speaker 1: going well so far, you know, it just it's a
32:37
Speaker 1: tough thing, man, but having so much fun doing it.
32:42
Speaker 1: And hopefully I can get you know, people out there
32:44
Speaker 1: taking pictures and kind of getting info all together, and
32:47
