  Speaker 2: to the first week of it, and I'm like, do
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: we really just go straight into talking about Meridian and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Deer Park? What's going on here? I think we do.

• 2:59
  Speaker 3: order and and.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Just you know, good because it's ten thirty at night
• 3:04

  Speaker 2: the audio for this, so let's just get right into it, Tyler.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about all nine games, just a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: little bit, not too crazy, but we're going to talk
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: about all. I think as the season goes along, we
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: talk more and more and more. Once we get to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: better field for other teams and things like that, not
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to mention once the one a's go into league play
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and it goes Yeah, there's so much more to talk
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: about because we've got two teams, you know, so nine games,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: though only one game this week with two teams from
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the county playing each other. That's Linden Ferndale. We'll talk
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: about that one here in a minute, but we are
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: going to start with a six pm game. It's going
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to be played at the Apple Bowl over in one actually,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: between Meridian and Deer Park Tyler. Deer Park a team
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: that we haven't really heard much of over the years.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: They did have the one semi final game. I believe
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it was that down at Everett Memorial Stadium. I think
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it was trying to remember where. I remember listening to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: it at work. That's what I remember about that because
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I was totally chocolate at the time and it was
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a huge playoff game. I want to say quarterfinals maybe
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: something like that, and I thought, oh, yeah, that was
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: quarterfinals if I can remember correctly, because then then and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Christian went over east to play the semi finals, right right, Yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that's so.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so I remember I think like I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: like Easton Strembler had a big game running the ball.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I just remember listening to that game. It was and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: deer Park was supposed to be very like run heavy
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: as well, so it was going to kind of, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: kind of dictate who was more.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was a really good deer Park team too. Yeah. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: So I think I had the like number two or
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: number three to start the season, like right, I had
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: them high, and I remember people were like, what are
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you doing? And I'm like, trust me, I know what
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'm doing here. I do. I mean not always, not
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: very often, but yeah, when when I hit it on
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the head though, I'm good. Actually, you know, I don't
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: know if I've ever told you this. The worst that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you could for my preseason rankings is be number two.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Have I ever told you that? Yeah?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, number number one.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I was rock solid on you know that, Like, yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: there was years where I hit like five out of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the six state champions and I predicted it back in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: like March. Number two though, oh it's death blow. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: mean number two. There was many years and a lot
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of times people would even say to me later They're like, hey,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you were right about number two, like they should have
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: been up there, but man injuries, you know what I mean,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it was like it was like a Madden curse, you
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: know what I mean.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it turned into like a curse. Yeah yeah yeah
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: picking them number two, Yeah they should have been but yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just crazy, like it just somehow always
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: happened that way. But yeah, Tyler, let's talk Meridian here.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a team. Obviously we mentioned it
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: in the preview podcast, which by the way, if you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: haven't heard, go back and listen to it. But yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: this is a team. I think there's some pretty high
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: expectations and if you want to do some good things,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't hurt. Even though this is a non league game,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it doesn't hurt to get out though. On a real
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: good h note in the week one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that you know, playing in like,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be pretty warm. You know, you got six
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: pms at a seven pm you're over in Winachi, so
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I would imagine it's gonna be really really warm, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you're on that turf. You're gonna have to take advantage,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you know, fluids. There's gonna be cramping and but it
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: kind of fits Meridian style. What I mean by that
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is they love when they get to open it up
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and and and really fling the ball around. And you
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: got so much veteran leadership on the line and at
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: quarterback where you got you know, tons of guys that
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: have been three sometimes four year starters now. So I
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: think that's really gonna help them, uh you know, get
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the offense going and stuff like that, and then it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: just gonna be you know, sweating it out on defense
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and and and trying to you know, hold on to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: a lead that they hopefully will will build. And uh boy,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be. I mean, that's gonna be so warm.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if Randy Small is to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: talk about, you know, what the weather's like in Winacchi,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: but I would imagine it's going to be in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: nineties because early, you know this early, and a six
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: pm is at a seven pm, you know what I mean,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Like all those things kind of together is gonna be.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: That's gonna be warm.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now, Tyler.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh boy, oh this is Friday, right, yeah, Friday, Yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Friday at six I'm looking at it right now.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It says, well I clicked it Friday at four pm.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Ninety eight degrees Oh my god, Yeah, says the high.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: The high on so seven pm ninety three degrees, the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: high for the day is exactly one hundred.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Well, I hopefully, you know, the defensive line coach, mister
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Bob Ames will be breaking out the shorts once again
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: because it is going to be super hot. And but yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: it's like I said, water, gatorade, bananas, all that stuff,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: because it's gonna be attle juice.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's it's and it's it's just the way that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, you go out to games in week one
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and it is cramp city all over the place. So
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be a huge thing for that one. But
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's so weird that a team that did
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: not win a conference game last year and they are
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: loaded with tons of experience, and I think they're going
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: to make a huge jump and they got to do
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: it in week one that set that bar and then
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: keep it going.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So Tyler, I decided to go to the old Google
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: machine here and see, you know what what are we
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: talking about here? Is this a true neutral site game?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You know, is there one team that is actually closer
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: because it is right in the middle of the state.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's pretty dang close. Actually, one hundred
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and ninety two miles for Deer Park, one hundred and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: ninety from Meridian.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Dang, that's about as even as it can get.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. I mean it's almost a Meridian home game. Really,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I mean it is. I mean that is that's unbelievable.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I mean it really is. Like that is crazy. When
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: when I when I hit, I was like, Wow, I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: feel like it's got to be I feel like it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: got to be a lot closer for for Deer Park.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Boom one hundred and ninety two. Wow, Ryland, you don't
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: know geography. Wow, good job, that's pretty wild. I mean yeah,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: as you said, Tyler, six pm Apple Bowl over there
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: in one Achie by the way, plenty of good food
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: along the way. There is a I should have looked
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: this up. There is a barbecue place in one Acchi
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: that I'm a really really big fan of. Sweetwood barbecue
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: is what it's called. That was a really quick poll
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: right there, sweet Sweetwood Barbecue. I went in there before
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the it's called the Battle of the Bridge over there,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the two Eastmont against one Acchi. I went over there
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: for a game one time and one of the coaches
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: was like, hey Tri Trice Sweetwood, Yeah, baby is good stuff.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: That was really good stuff. But yeah, that's Meridian Deer
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Park Apple Bowl. When actually six pm on Friday CEO
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: at Marysville Pilchuck. We'll see the stadium down there at
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Marysville pil Chuck High School. That's a seven pm game, Tyler. Now,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Marysville Pilchuck not a lot of history with the two
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: A schools necessarily, and I mean Seahome hasn't always been
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a two A school either, but here they are. They're
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: down there in the two A Conference. Now this is
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: a league game for Sea Home right out of the gate. Yeah, Tyler,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I mean Marysville Pilchuck. Most of their history, I would
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: assume is fairly recent.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: With Ferndale, yeah, definitely, and a little bit of squalk
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: them when they run the West got three and North
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: for a little bit. But there was a there was
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: a stretch from ninety four to two thousand when Seaholme
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: was like four A, Yes, I remember, and they were
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: like four A was a brand new thing, and it
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: was and they were up there and they played Marysville
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Pilchuck all those years, and they beat him every single
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: year from ninety five to two thousand, and they played him.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: They've also played him in eighty three and eighty four.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Those might have been non non league games, but there's
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: a little bit of history there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: But it's been.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Twenty four years since they've played each other. You're right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I mean a game right out of the blocks in conference,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: so that's gonna be tough. I've you know, I've heard
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of coaches talk pretty highly about Marysville Pilchuck.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think that, And I've also heard like, oh, you know,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: we lose Sidro, thank goodness, and we get Pilchuck. But
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: they're you know, they're not like a pushover at all.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And I've also heard Sidro is happy to go up
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: to three A and play and the West go three
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: A North because the two way Northwest Conference is brutal.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So we'll just have to see kind of how that goes.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: But this is a this is a great test right
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: out of the gate because Marysville Pilchuck. For me, You're right,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I've only seen them the last few years against Ferndale
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and it was kind of all over the place. You know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a handful of years ago, they were amazing, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: with Carson at running back and they just were just
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: unstoppable fast and Mike. Yeah, they were so good. And
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: then like the next year they changed their offense and
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: it was completely different, and then they improved, like it
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: was it was a big drop off, and then they
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: improved the next year, which I might have been last year.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And they've gotten a new coach and so there's so
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: many changes going on that I don't really know what
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: to expect out of them. And and uh, but but
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: for Seahome, I like the you know, I like that there.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: It's a lot like it's a lot like Meridian with
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: so many varsity kids coming back that have so much
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: first experience. Uh, that's that's huge for a week one game.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: And and and this is as big of them as
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: all of them because it's a conference game. And so
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: when you return, you know, like eighty five percent of
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: your starting lineup.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: On both sides of the ball. Yeah, and you have to.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Play a week one game as a conference game. That's
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a huge bonus. I don't know what it looks like
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: for returning players for the Tomahawks. I'm I'm not quite sure.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: But uh but that's a big big deal for Sea
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: home and and uh and with the expanded you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: thirty round round to third to see, Holm was one
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: of those teams that's looking at, you know, getting one
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: of those slots right now. So playing league games right
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: out of the gate, that's huge for them. Getting a
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: win would be a big, big deal for them.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, you really, it's it's kind of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: brutal starting with a with a conference game, you know
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: what I mean, Like it's it's kind of one of
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: those no mistakes right out of the gate. Yeah, you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: team is huge. Yeah, yeah, now obviously yeah, having a
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: veteran team is huge. But man, I mean you really
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: cannot avoid any slip ups here. I mean you you
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: really can't. I mean you got to get at right away.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, see home at Marysville, Pilchuck down there
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: at Quilsey at the stadium, seven pm. Burlington Edison coming
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to town to take on the Squalicum Storm. That is
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: a seven pm game at Civic Burlington Edison squal I
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: mean another league game right here, boom, right in your face. Yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison a team that really struggled last year. Now,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I believe this is the senior year of a young man.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I can't remember his name the top my head, but
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: kind of a shorter kid real fast. I'm sure Andy
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Olsen sitting there right now, going come on, guy, come on. Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I think I butchered his name last year. I think
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I said, like the old safety from Wazoo, Hamza Abdullah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's like I'm a or something like Abdhali.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: You know what. We're just looking like idiots at this point. No, well,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I tell you what. I tell you what.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I saw this game last year, Berlynjon Edison at Squalcum.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I was up in the press box and uh and
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and and Reid Richardson, who's former head coach and and
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: now he's an assistant coach, was up in the box
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: with me, and he just called him Tyreek Hill.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: He's like, he's like Tyreek schooling this way, he's in
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: motion this way. And it was much yeah, yeah, so much,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: so much focus was on him. And I tell you what,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Squalkum's got a kid exactly like him. And Joaqui Nortiz,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: they're they're you know, they're both on the smaller side.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: They both wear number one they're both super uh just
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: you know crazy, you know, back and forth zig zag
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and and uh that's a that's an awesome matchup. And again,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: like you said, another conference game right out of the gate.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: It was kind of a closer game than I think
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Squalackham wanted to have last year. I know, I know
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Burlington went went winless and it was their struggle for
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: them last year.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: But I've heard some good.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Things about new coaches coming in and and and that's
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: such a storied program. I mean, Glenn Rickert when he
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: retired in the eighties, he was Washington's all time leading
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: you know, wins for coaches, you know at that at
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the time. He's still alive too, in his upper nineties,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: and a really really cool deal. I've been, I've been.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I've been talking to his son, John, and we're trying
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: to like find old film like from the sixties and
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: seventies and getting converted and we're having some fun time
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: with that. So but yeah, so it's such a storied program.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: So hopefully they're back on the rise Squalakam. It was
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: a tough year last year, but I think they're they
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: have you know, some really good thing is coming up too.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: So that's gonna be crazy. Coach Wood's going to be
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: at that game. I did hear, and I don't know
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: this for sure, but just if people are going to
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: that game, be aware there's been some construction and there
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: might only be seating on the visitor side.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Oh So I.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Don't know if this is I don't know if it'll
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: be ready to go. Yeah, I mean, I'm just I'm
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: just this is just hearsay. So I'm just saying, if
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: you're going there, be ready for that, you know.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Especially Squalcomb usually brings a pretty dang good crowd, absolutely, yeah, and.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Their band is usually big, right, and it might be
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: just like a part of it, like they might have
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: to sit off the side. I mean, I don't know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: but I know there's something going on and so just just.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Be aware of that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: But other than that, I think it'll be two teams
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: that are greatly improved from last year and going out
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: of the gate right away. And this is gonna be
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: a good one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Just thinking to myself too. The new head coach at
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison is actually the former head coach Marysville Pilchuck, right,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and I can't think of his name right now, but
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: he was also I believe in alum of Burlington Edison,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: so yes, so yeah, that's Burlington Edison at Squalicum or
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I guess against squalcumb at Civic Stadium seven pm. Again,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: these games are all on Friday. We'll talk about two
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: games on Saturday here in just a moment. But you know, Tyler,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: normally I would do something here like hey, we'll skip it,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: we'll come back to this one, but let's get right
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: into it. Lyndon at Ferndale, Are they making their first
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: trip to the new stadium? Where did they go there
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: last year too?
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: No, this will be the first trip to the new stadium.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: They did get to go there this past Friday for
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: the jamboree, which is kind of a cool deal where
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: they got to, you know, kind of get the feeling
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: of the turf, a little bit lay of the land,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: kind of that kind of stuff. It was a great jamboree.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I was there Ferndale, Linden, Lenny, Christian and Baker, so
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: some good traditional powerhouses. The bigger schools played the smaller
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: schools just so because the other two we'll play each other.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: So it all made sense and at a good lot
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: of good plays out there and got to see some
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: stuff that I wanted to see and and uh and
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: you bet that when Ferndale had the ball, a lot
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: of Linden guys are standing right there at the fifty
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: watching them and just kind of seeing what they what's
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: what's going on? Now?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: You're playing a game, you know, Yeah.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Sure you're gonna play in a week you know this
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: is this is gonna be big.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: And Tyler didn't I go to like a week zero
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: scrimmage one time and it was like Linden versus and
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker was there at Civic And then didn't they
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: play Week one? And then they played Week one? Yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I remember thinking to myself, like, wait, why are these
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: two teams playing?
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. It was crazy and yeah I remember that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Uh but yeah, so this is I mean, this is
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: obviously the big game. This is one of those big
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: games every year. You know, it's going to be a
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: packed house at the new Ferndale Stadium.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be awesome.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be there, Mikayla will be there, and
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: it's just this is just one of those great rivalries
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: where you know, they've played every each other every year
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: since since ninety three. They did play each other like
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: back in the fifties and sixties for a little bit
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: when Berndale was part of the old Walking County League
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: before they jumped up a classification. But and then Linen
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: eventually jumped up to in ninety three and then boom,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: they started playing each other in the Northwest League. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: even though Ferndale has jumped ahead up to three A,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: they've still found a way to play that game every
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: single year and it's always a great, great turnout, a
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: lot of respect, but there's a lot of you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: there's it's a rivalry. I mean, it's a big, big thing.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: And this is gonna be really interesting because Linen returns,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: you know, very little as far as varsity experience. I mean,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: obviously they returned, you know, they always bring they always
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: have guys, but a lot of new starters, especially on
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball. You got four brand
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: new guys in the secondary. Yes, Lofa Tiglou started last year,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: but he's going from linebacker back there. They got two
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: sophomore inside linebackers starting for the first time. You know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: we got a lot of new guys on that defense.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: And to jump out there and go against a polished
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: wing te offense right away in week one for a
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: bunch of you know, wide eyed sophomores that are seeing
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: the field for the first time on underneath the lights.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: That's a lot to ask, now, Ferndale is this is
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: kind of kind of the same way where there's a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: lot of holes to be plugged. But I think they
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: returned more guys. Zach Neilson's coming back out again. I'm
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: really really anxious to see Noel and Bolliac at quarterback
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: throwing the ball as he's about six one six '
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: two now, and I think they're gonna throw a little
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: bit more. Jake Locker calling the plays on offense, I
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: think he wants to kind of sling it around a
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: little bit more than usual, maybe some shotgun stuff. So
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited to watch the film of this. Obviously
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I won't I won't be there, but it's always a
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: big time, hard hitting, great great game. There's just spent
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: some awesome ones lately. Last year's was a classic seventeen
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: to fourteen game that Ferndale won. I think Tallon Bungard
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: ran the ball like eighty seven times or something like that,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: and Charlie Erres had like forty two tackles. I mean
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: it was just between just between the hashes, you know,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: old style football, and and I would expect another great one.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think this is it was one
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: of those games that you just you circle it, right, Tyler,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, oh yeah, like you're waiting for it, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: and it's all it's almost like, you know, on Thursday night,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you know, Week one in the NFL, you get that
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: first you know, kickoff game. But this is almost like that,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Obviously they're not playing out
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: on their own. There's you know what six seven games
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: that night, but that's kind of kind of the feeling
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that you get for that one. It's like, oh, well,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: here we go, Lynden Ferndale, time to go boys. Here
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: we are went back at.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: And for for years, like in the eighties and early nineties,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: it was see home Bellingham, that was the game. Yeah,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: and then and then see them jumped up a bunch
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: of classifications, and then a few years later Bellingham closed
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: down for a few years and then squal can Be
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: and it just kind of it kind of lost that
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: city championship feel to it, right, And and then but
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: what emerged from that in the mid nineties was this
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Linden Ferndale game and it was just you know, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: there was a there was a stretch where it was
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: it was Baker Meridian, there was a stretch where it
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: was Meridian LC. But throughout all of that, Linden Ferdale
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: has always been the top game all year and so
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: just really excited that they that they get to keep
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: doing it. I remember talking to Van Dalen during basketball
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: last year and I think it was like during the
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: district tournament or something like that, and it was it
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: was at London, so he's there, you know, just working
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: The seats and stuff like that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I said and I said, so, what's been going,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: what what's new? And he was like, oh, we're just
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: getting the schedule set up for next year. And I said,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: obviously Ferndale week one. He goes, obviously, and he goes,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: but we're working on a week two. Like it's just
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: kind of set in stone, right. You get you get
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: a couple of non league games and Ferndale will be
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: one of them. And I'd love how Linden and Ferdale
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: both you know, scheduled this because it could really set
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the tone for the rest of the year. I mean,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: you you got to learn how to play against a team.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: You know, they're they're not afraid is you know, they're not.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Gonna schedule cupcakes.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: They're gonna they're gonna bring in uh, these big teams
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and it's against each other, which is awesome. And you know,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I love how Linden used to They used to schedule
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: O day and you know yah, you know, I mean
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: they would just go right into it and say, hey,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: we want to see where we are. And this is
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: a great measuring stick for both teams.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Lynden at Ferndale seven pm. Out there at the beautiful
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: new stadium h Tyler, Nooksack Valley. They are on just
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: a short track down the road all the way down
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: to on Alaska. By the way, plenty of great places
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: to eat down there on Alaska if you're wanting to,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, plenty of great places. There's a real solid
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: pizza place I have always. There's actually a place there.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I can't remember what it's called. It's called it's it's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: actually a burger bar, that's what it's called. But it's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: it's not a bar. It's just that's the name of it. Right.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: But I always tell people just go to on Alaska
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: High School, get the burger. You won't be disappointed. Nuksack Valley, though,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you know, this is one of those ones where it's interesting.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a two B school here in on Alaska,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: very tough physical program. Though they like their their football
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: in a phone booth. It's real tight, it's it's smash mouth.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I think this will be a decent little test here
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: for Nukzack Valley. I mean, they're last year. Maybe you
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: know Nuksack Valley probably takes it to these guys, but yeah,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: at seven pm down there in on Alaska, it's a
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: fun place to watch a game, let me tell you that. Yeah,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: that's pretty cool.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I've never I don't think I've ever even seen film
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: of a game played at that stadium. So I'm excited
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: to check that out once they load that And Nuksack Valley,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: you're right, they you know, they graduated so many great
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: players off of last year's team, and so many great
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: linemen as well. And when you're going against that kind
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: of offense, you need some guys in the trenches to
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: get the job done. And we'll they'll be tested right away.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: I've seen on Alaska play one time. That was a
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: few years ago. That was the debut of Kate Eldridge
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: as a tailback, and it was a lot of fun
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: to see and and I think that man, it was
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's really really interesting to see that
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: kind of style of football. The first time I ever
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: saw it was in two thousand and three in the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: first round of the one A Playoffs with le Center
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: and they were playing against Mount Baker out at Mount
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Vernon High School. I was covering that game for the
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Belling M Herald and and Baker was loaded that year
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: and they were going against the Center, which is a
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: school I barely had heard of before, and they just
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: came out and you're absolutely right. Football in the foam booth.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: You know, the quarterback is a lead blocker on many plays.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: And it's just if you're not used to it, it
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: could be really really tricky. And I think that you know,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Nooksac Valley has an idea for what kind of defense
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: they want to play, but that's all out the window
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: in Week one because you really have to change your
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: defense when you play against a team like that. There's
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: no there's no kind of you don't just go out
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: there with your base defense. You have to really put
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: everybody in the box and just kind of or maybe
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: one guy out there, maybe core only will be you know,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: fifteen yards back and just waiting for if anything springs.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: But it's it's different, man, and it's it's uh, it's
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: gonna be interesting for you fans that are going down
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: there and you're used to seeing, you know, a lot
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: of these teams in the spread and stuff like that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: You're gonna see that and go, whoa, this is unique
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: and an Alaska's been doing it for a while, and
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: so you get good at that kind of you know
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: style and and and it's wearing you down, and it's
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: it's patience and all of a sudden you spring one
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: and it can get a little it can get a
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: little a little crazy and a little tedious. But it'll
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: be like you said, it'll be a great test for
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Knuksack Valley, who in the last couple of years have had,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: you know, especially in these non conference games where they
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: only get to play their starters for like a half,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: they've been blowing out teams. And this is gonna be
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: a little different where they're gonna they're gonna have to
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: be out there for a while most likely, and and
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: we'll see how that goes.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: You know, Tyler. I should also mention if you're going down,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: leave thirty minutes early and stop at Mconie's, get yourself
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: a sub at Maconie's in tomb Water, or if you
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: do want, maybe the best burger in the area across
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: the street, Red Wagon Burgers. That place is really good too,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But mcconie's. I mean, I've sent so many people there
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: over the years and never never had a bad review. Yes,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: you sent me there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I took a picture and sent it to you.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, hey, look, chack it out. What did
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: you have? Do you remember? Oh?
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I had the U I had the uh was it
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: like the Philly cheese steak?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: But it was like a oh, I tell everybody Chicken Philly.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Chicken Philly. Yeah, I was gonna say, but there was
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: chicken involved somehow, So yes, chicken Philly.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: It's a Philly cheese steak, but instead of steak, it's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: just chicken. Yoh man. It is absolutely delicious. And if you're,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: you know, real hungry, get yourself a bowl of the
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: homemade chili.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I remember you saying that too.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: That homemade chili baby may tell you. I mean, my goodness,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: it's a good one. Yeah. Nooksack Valley at on Alaska
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: seven pm. That's on Friday, Tyler out at Mount Baker.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Port Angelis coming to town seven pm. I mean, is
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: there a late ferry or are they just going to
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: drive all the way around afterwards? Maybe they got a helicopter.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that works, but Port Angela is
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: going to be a late night for them. Yeah, Port Angelis.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is a program that we've heard
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: maybe more of, Like we start talking about teams from
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: outside the area that like aren't part of the league.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean, port Angelis is one or
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like Archbishop Murphy's part of
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the Northwest Conference type thing.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Port Angelis is the name. It's popped up a lot recently. Yeah, definitely,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: especially in week one. I think the couple weeks in
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: a row or a couple of years in a row
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: now against blaying a home and away and but you're right,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: those games have usually started at like six five thirty
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: six somewhere in there. So this will be you know,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: we'll see, uh, you know, maybe they're gonna they're gonna
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: stay the night at the at the finest hotel that
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Deming has to offer, which I don't think there is one.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean your parents' house, right, So I mean, Tyler,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have to like pop a wheelie on the
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: way back to the ferry just to get there on time. Well,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: These are two run heavy teams. Maybe they're just figuring
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the game will be done at eight thirty and they.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Just buzz out of there. I don't know, but this
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: game will be done at seven fifteen. Yeah, yeah, right.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: But you know, I've seen film on Port Angeles last
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: couple of years, and they don't do a ton of stuff.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: But what they do they do really well. A lot of.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: These inside handoffs type type things. A lot of it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of the Wing Tea concepts, but it's like
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: out of gun Okay, and it's kind of like some
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: double wing you know stuff where you got guys going
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: you know inside, like they're both going, you faked one
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: guy get into another. There's a lot of that kind
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: of stuff going on. And so I think that for Baker,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: you just have to just read Wing Tea, which is
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: what they see at practice a lot, and I think
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: that they'll if assignment football, they can get the job
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: done and then you know, when they have the ball,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: they just have to do what they do usually where
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: you know, they're usually outsized, but they usually are not
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: out toughed, and they just have to you know, put
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: it to them and playing a home game right away
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: right off the bat. I was out there two nights
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: ago to get volleyball pictures in the field. Looked awesome.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: They got the back and forth, like every five yards
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: is a different shade of green. You know, looks really
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: sharp out there. So that's gonna be great. I'll be
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: out there. I'm not sure if I'll be there for
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: the first half or the second half quite yet. I'm
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: gonna be going to two different games on Friday night,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: so I'm still determining in my head. Usually I want
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: to go to the game that I think will be
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: closer in the second half, if you know what I mean.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: So I'm still trying to figure that out at that
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: out in my head because I think because it's Week one, man,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: you just never know. I remember last year we didn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: do too well in the pick them last year in
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Week one, and we'll get to the pick them later,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: but but it could be a quick one and maybe
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: that's why I would go to this one first, because
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: the first half could go really quickly and give me
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: time to drive over to the second game and hopefully
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: get there before the second half starts. So yeah, it's
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be interesting. I remember seeing some size
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: for Port Angelis as well, but that other than that,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be a lot of smash mouth football again.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Port Angelis at Mount Baker sid Lambert Field seven pm,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Bob Tisdale or excuse me, Bob Tisdale seven pm, Tyler.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling it's gonna be like the like
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: like this is week one. The people of Deming that area,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: they're just jacked up, ready to go, and it's just
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be a one of those nights, you know what
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, where it's like everything feels right. Yeah, you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like every door here we are boys.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think last year just kind of left
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: a bad taste in everybody's mouth. They just want to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: get you know, it was three they were three and
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: seven because the first year they did weren't in the
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: state playoffs. For over ten years, and it's just kind
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: of like, you know, like what was that? Like, we're
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: ready to move on. We got both of our leading
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: rushers coming back, we got both of our quarterbacks coming back,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: got a receiving cor that's all six two guys, and
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: and I guess some promising youngsters, and I think they're ready.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I think I think it's you know, I mean, obviously,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I'm super optimistic about every team early on, and I
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: think everyone's gonna be at least five hundred. And I
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: know that's not reality, but that's the beauty of week
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: one for all these teams. And it's you know, you
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: get to go out there and you're excited for that
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: first game, and you're right. I think it's gonna be.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a pretty good crowd and they're gonna
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: be ready to go.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: You know who else is back? Tyler? Who's that Ron
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Lepper from Mount Baker High School? You're ready? Is boy?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of lemons. I can't and wait is
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: it you guys?
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Up?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Is he back? He is?
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: But he's he's banged up, so he's gonna miss I
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: think he'll be ready by league. But yeah, so he's
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: I think he had a he had fingers. I can't
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: remember which it was finger or thumb, but he had
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: surgery and and yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: He'll be ready to go.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: There's a couple guys banged up for Mount Baker. Well,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: so we'll see who's ready to go and who's not,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: and they'll just put their best eleven out there and
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: plug forward.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I know this much. This week, Tyler, after the games
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: were over, you will have a report from high school.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: All right, we will again seven pm out there at
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker. Vancouver College they are coming down again. This
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: isn't a college, this is like Vancouver College Prep. It's
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: kind of what we call it here in the States.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: But they're coming down to take on Lynden Christian seven pm, Tyler.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Vancouver College a name that the people of Walkham County
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: are probably pretty familiar with over the years.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like, you know, geez, even going back
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: to like the seventies and looking at old box scores,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of Canadian teams coming down and playing, especially
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: teams in Linda, in Blaine, Nook Sack, and teams that
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: are really close to the border. Baker a few years
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: ago went up to Canada and played which didn't doesn't
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: happen too often, but it's happened very sparingly and a
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: little bit here and there. You know, it's just it's
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: uh And there's kind of the same kind of run
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: of them New West Vancouver College, Centennial, Siaquam, and there's
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: there's just kind of this you know kind of I
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: remember alder Grove came down in nineteen ninety two and
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: played every single Old Woking County League team. So they
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: played Blaine, they played Linden, they played Linden Christian, they
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: played Baker, they played Nooksack, they played Meridian, and they
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: got handled by all of them. But that was kind
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: of a unique thing. They came down and played you know, six.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Waits, they played a league game, like a league schedule, almost.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Like they could have been a brand new school or
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: something like that. And so that's that's kind of cool. Yeah,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: so there's been a lot of history with that. There
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: was a and you know what's interesting is there was
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: a team called Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Vancouver College
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: is the Fighting Irish. And I don't know if that's
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the same school that just changed names or at one point,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: but but like, yeah, the Notre Dame team used to
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: come down in the seventies and play Ferndale really tough.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: They come play like the city schools like Bellingham and
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Seome and stuff like that. The bigger schools and back
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: in the seventies like Ferndale, Bellingham and se Home were
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: just like they were. They were head and shoulders above
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: the smaller schools and uh and you know, things have
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: evened out a little bit over the years, but you're right,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: there's been a lot of Canadian schools that have that
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: have come down and it's one of those things that
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: for me, it's just like, yeah, that's just normal. But
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I bet in a lot of other places in the state.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, how often do they come down and play
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: a King Co team? You know, like, what's the point
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: of that because they have to travel.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: So much more. Yeah, I mean I can only remember
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: one and that was a few years ago. Uh Farhan's team. Yeah,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: New Westminster they came down and played uh Liberty. Oh wow, Okay,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: not the only one. That's honestly the only one I
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: can remember. Now, Vancouver College. They have played O Day
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: quite a few times over the years, randomly in week one.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: O Day usually beats them by like sixty. But and
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I mean no offense of Linden Christian, but O Day
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: would probably smack them around two. I mean it's just
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: it is what it is oday is just yeah. Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: But that being said, yeah, I mean you know, you're right.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I mean I can only remember, on top of my
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: head even a couple of times Lakeside went up and
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: played Mission Secondary one year, yeah and beat the just yeah,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: breaks off of them. I mean it was crazy.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean but here it's like it seems
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: like it's every year, you know, it's just yeah, the
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: way it is. And yeah, and I mean you're right
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: too with like Lynden Lynnen Christian, the schools that are
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: really close to the border where they can just pop
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: right over bam and get out of town. I mean Blaine, Yeah,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Earl Marriott used to come out and play Blaine a lot,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you know, And there's.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Just so many have you ever had like what is
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: that one Lord tweets mirror or something.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Like that Lord tweets mirror.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, that one always cracks me up. Yeah, yeah, Which
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they're not too far on the other
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: side of the border either, like five or ten minutes, right,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: but yeah, so Vancouver College, Tyler coming down, Lynn and Christian.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: This is one of those ones. This is where we
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: randomly find some names from Lynn and Christian and go
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: all right, yep, this guy's going to be pretty good.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I mean exactly.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, that's a that's an amazing
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: point by you, and I wouldn't expect anything less. But
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I you know, I saw them at the you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: I saw them at the jamboree, and it was they
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: struggled a little bit, you know, going against Ferndale and Linden,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I get it, but they have so many new starters
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: and and it was, you know, a lot of some
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: miscommunication here over there, but there were some flashes of brilliance.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: You saw some really good things every once in a while,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: and you said, Okay, they got the guys. It's just
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: a matter of executing and and a lot of them
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: get on themselves a lot, which sometimes is not a
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: bad thing. I mean, you want to play to the
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: best of your abilities, and they get that. But it's just,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: you know, it's it's it's finding how things are going
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: to work. Because if you look at ELS's non conference schedule,
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I guess and their conference schedule, if you want to
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: be super blunt about it. There, it's a loaded schedule.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: They are, it's is it is really really tough. And
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: so this one there, this is the one where they're
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: really gonna have to figure things out perhaps going forward,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: because you know, Lakeside nine mile falls and and uh,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: who's the team that the state champions the Okanagan and
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: the place they play some really tough teams, and so
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: they're gonna have to figure out kind of where things
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: work and and who's gonna, you know, get open on
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: this play, and and why a certain play wouldn't work against.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: This team and stuff like that.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: And I think they learned a lot of that in
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: the jamboree. But this is gonna be now you've got
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: to put it into an actual win loss, uh situation,
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: and and kind of and see how it goes. And
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: and you know, you're right, You're absolutely right. We're gonna
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: see a box score and it's gonna say, you know,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: receiving Robertson seven for one oh six, and we're gonna
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: go he's never caught a varsity pass before. He's got
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: seven balls for one oh six, and he he's the
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: guy Boyce Robertson that I think has the capabilities of
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: doing that.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Let me write that name down. I might need him
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: in the fantasy pixel later here. Tyler Robertson. By the way,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: don't forget North kitsapp week two.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, North, I mean think about North League games.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, right.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Exactly that this schedule, I mean yeah, right, Coach Trips
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: has no qualms about scheduling tough. And you know he's
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: scheduled royal the last two years and and he he,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: he does it, you know, And now I think it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna really benefit because again with that
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: extra seed going in and and and being battle tested
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: My goodness.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, they're they're out to show that that
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: they're one of the good ones too.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be It's gonna be a fun one.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to see, like you, I mean, like we
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: were all talking about, I'm excited to see the names
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: because yep, I think we kind of know who they
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: could be. But we're going to start figuring some things
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: out here real quick. With Lynn Christian, I think you
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: and I both have some real potential expectations for them,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Is maybe the way to
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: stay absolutely. So that is the Friday game. That's again
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: seven pm out there at Lennon Christian. That's the Friday games.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Let's talk two Saturday games, Tyler, starting with a two
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: pm and that's the other game, albeit at just just
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: a headset late. Which one the Linny Christian one. Oh,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: you're going to go?
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna go Baker first because it could
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: be a quick first half. Yeah, and as soon as that,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: you know, that whistle hits, Yeah, then I'm gonna bust
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: it out to Linny Christian and try to get there
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: before the second half begins.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: At gotcha, Yeah, gotcha. So what you're saying is a
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: terp if you can maybe not put up forty put
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: up thirty eight so that you start the second half
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: without a running Now, I'm just saying Saturday, Tyler, you
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: will get to at least one game, but it's not
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: going to be the first one we're going to talk
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: about here. That's going to be a two pm game
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: down there at Seattle Memorial Stadium between the Bellingham at
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: BayHawks and the chief Self Seahawks. A couple of hawks here.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: That's a game. Yeah, I mean Seattle Memorial Stadium. This
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: is a I believe it's part of the Memorial Stadium Classic.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I can't remember what they Yeah, they play a bunch
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: of games like typically O Day and there will be
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: two games on Friday. Odey always plays the early game
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: for some reason. I don't know why they do that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe they just love playing the early game. But then
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: typically there's three or four games on Saturday, and it's
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: just kind of a it's a long day, let me
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: tell you, I've done it a few times. But it's
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun too. If you're headed down to
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: the area. There's plenty of places to eat. I don't
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: need to tell you that, but one place I do
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: love Big Marios Pizza Yummy. I especially love it come
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: playoff time, Tyler, because they have a Thanksgiving pizza. Yeah. Yeah,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: They've got like turkey and stuffing and yeah, they put
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: it on this like square pie. It's unbelievable. But yeah,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Bellingham Chief Self the only the only thing I really
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: know about the Chief Self team Tyler. They're head coach
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Darren come player that I covered. One of the first
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: players that like I covered where I had to like
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: make a case for people like hey, everybody needs to
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: watch this guy. He's really stinking good. He's also probably
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: one of the youngest head coaches in the state. But
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of excitement around that program. You just
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: kind of never know. They've always got athletes. It's always
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: been a matter of can you put it all together
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: at once? And yeah, I mean, we'll see Bellingham though, Tyler.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: You know they've I mean I feel like they've maybe
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: struggled a little bit early in the season the last
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: few years. And if you're the BayHawks, especially being back
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: with some league games now, you kind of need to
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: get off to a good start here.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right. And last year was just a
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: weird game against them. You know, I was. I was
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: there for I want to say, the first half of it,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: at least. It was a Saturday game last year out
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: at Civic Stadium, and it was just funky because you
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: know Whyatt Stephan wasn't on the team yet, Josh Tole
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: got injured early on, like in the first quarter, and
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: they they were going to play Cleveland up until like
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: two days before that, and it was just everything was
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: just kind of odd about that. And Week one can
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: be odd as it is already and Bellingham still managed
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: to have a first athlete. Chief Self came back and
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: won by five, I believe.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So there is.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Some kind of unfinished business with some of these Bellingham guys,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and there are some good parts returning. Obviously, the defense
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: is going to be I think the kind of the
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: the mainstay of Bellingham this year. That's where they're going
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: to hang their hat. I think that's where their strength is,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: especially in the lineback and corps and stuff like that.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: But I'm really really really curious to see what they
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: do offensively. I mean, last year, it was you kind
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: of knew who they had, right, I mean it was
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: it was Josh Leonard flinging it deep to Wyatt Stefan
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: or Josh Tole taking short passes, Bli Henderson with some hitches,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: and Holden Bates running outside and Tyler Frost running and
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: you know in between the tackles, and gave Van Hofwagen
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: on some five and outs at the goal line, and
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: that was just kind of what it was. You kind
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: of knew what to expect. I have no clue what
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: to expect this year. Some of those names return with
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Gay van Hofwagen and Bli Henderson, but there's a lot
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: of new names on that offense and really curious to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: see what they're gonna do. How Joe Harvard is going
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: to be at the quarterback spot, brand new position for him,
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: because I think, like I said, I think the defense
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: will be okay. This could be one of those games
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: where it ends up being like a you know, sixteen
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: to thirteen type game where they get some things done
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: on offense enough to do it they but the defense
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: is what wins the day for them.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be exciting. Two pm. A gid down
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: there Seattle Memorial Stadium, Bellingham at Chief Self, I mean
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: technically Verse chief Self at Seattle Memorial Stadium. Chief Self
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: has home stands at their school. But this is one
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: of those big kind of opening weekend kickoff classic type things,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: So away we go. I mean, it's gonna be a
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. Renting. They are coming to town three
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: pm against Blaine out there at the new Blaine Stadium,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: and we just say new It's been around for a
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: couple of years now, but it's still one of the
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: best places to go watch a game there, Tyler. That
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: being said, Renton, we get to see them two weeks
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: in a row, because who is it, nook Sat going
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: down there next week, who is it? Yes, yeah, yeah,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: and Noksat going down there. So two weeks in a
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: row for for Renton. But Blaine another team that you
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: just feel like they have some they have some serious
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: potential this year, but you need to get a win
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: this week to kind of set the tone early in
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, and they got the beef up front and that's
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: where they're gonna That's that's their calling card. And I
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: think that you know, you go against a team that's
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: a bigger school. Typically when you go against a team
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: that's a classification ahead of you or two classifications ahead
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: of you, you're going against kids, not just kids with
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: bigger like bigger rosters and bigger schools, but usually just
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: physically bigger kids. And I think Blaine, you know, that's
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: one thing they have is they're they're a gigantic offensive line,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: especially for a one A team. I mean you're talking,
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: you know, on the offensive line, you're talking like two
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: fifty five three h five, two forty five, two sixty
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: five and two seventy across tackle to tackle, and that's
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: that's unique for a one A school. And you know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: you basically got as coach. Olsen likes to say he's
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: an offensive line coach. That's just you know, happens to
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: be a head coach. And that's so you got the
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: right guy there teaching them the right way. They're gonna
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: want to run the ball. And you know, you open
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: up at home on a Saturday and it's going to
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: be hot, it's gonna be in the afternoon on that turf,
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: and you're darn right, I'm going to be there. And
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: I think Mikayla's going to go out there and cover
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: the game, but I'm going to be out there, Uh,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: getting a head start on doing stats, I think, because
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: that way I won't have to, you know, watch the
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: film three times and figure that out. So even though
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I will still watch the film and take notes fun
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: and you start doing my top one hundred list early.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Of course, but I think that. Uh.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: And we've seen Renting a little bit. We saw two
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: years ago. We saw Lindy Christian down there.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: The Rent and Lindy Christian game from last year got
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: canceled kind of late.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: They ended up instead of the Home and Home with them,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: they had to flip it and play Napavine. I believe
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: last year. So so yeah, so it's you know, I've
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: seen a little bit of them and and uh there's
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: been you know, some changes in the last couple of
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: years and stuff like that. So I don't really know
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: what to expect with Renton. Uh, but I do expect
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: some pretty good things out of Blaine. And and I'm
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: excited to go up to my old my old hometown
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: there and and uh and walk the sidelines and take
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: some notes and and have some fun and watch some
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: good football.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and watch coach Olsen absolutely uh again three pm
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: out there Renton at Blaine. Tyler, those are the nine
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: games for the week. You know. Now, we just need
• 47:54

• 47:58

• 48:14
  Speaker 2: he's just an overall just all around good human being. Yeah,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: you can find him Watcom County WX. It's weather from

• 48:31
  Speaker 2: com and he is kind enough every single week to
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: do a little segment for us where I mean, really,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: what he does is he records it and then texts
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: it to you, and you text it to me, and
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I put it online and then I throw it into
• 48:42

• 48:46
  Speaker 2: we get a weather report, so yeah, Randy, go ahead
• 48:49

• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Hello, Walcome County High School football fans. This is Randy
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Small of Wakam County Weather and it's a new season
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: upon us and first weekend of the year. It's already
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: going to be what September sixth and seventh this weekend,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: so a little bit late start, but the weather is
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: going to look amazing both Friday and Saturday. Friday night,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's going to be any threat of
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: rain either day, but Friday night is going to be
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: fairly warm, probably low seventies, upper sixties depending on location.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: For the kickoff times seven o'clock. I think most games,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: A couple games may be away out of the area,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: and then the game on Saturday. I know there's a
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: couple of games, but the game in Walking County at
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: three o'clock with Blaine is going to be warm, although
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: in Blaine a little bit less than Inland it would be.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm guessing in the upper seventies, mid upper seventies
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: with lots of sunshine for the whole Saturday and also
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Friday night will be clear and it'll cool off as
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: the games go on, but Friday's going to be a
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: warm day overall. So looking forward to a great opening season.
• 49:58

• 50:00

• 50:33
  Speaker 2: is where every week we are going to pick games.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: In the past, we've picked scores, and I think I

  Speaker 2: finally beat Tyler into submission by throwing out the most random,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: crazy scores out there. No, we're not gonna pick scores
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: this year, but we are gonna pick winners, and this
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: year we're gonna go with it's gonna be you, Tyler.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be Mikayla, who is just dominating and everything
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: she's doing. Coach Would who is gonna write some game reports.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: He's gonna come on the podcast the recap every week,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: just like he did last year myself. We're gonna have
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: a guest picker and we'll get to that person a second.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: And that's so as five people and whoever is the
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: majority that's gonna pick for Joe, So Joe consensus, looking
• 51:20

• 51:43
  Speaker 2: at Jeff. There's nothing more fun than taking shots at
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Jeff other than like maybe a burger. But I do
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: like taking shot If I could have a burger and
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: take shots at Jeff. I would just I'd be in
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: you know, my happy place. That being said, Tyler, you
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: had told me, and I don't know if he wants
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: us out there, but I'm gonna say he's got the
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: COVID going now. Huh.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he just recently got sick, and him and his
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: wife and his kid, they're all not feeling very well.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: Of course, they live in Michigan now, so don't have
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: to worry about any of us, you know, running into
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: him and catching it. But but I dealt with it
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: for three weeks and it knocked me on my butt.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: I'm still recovering as far as fatigue and a lingering cough,
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: but but it's.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Uh taken a few weeks to get rid of it. Tyler.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: And so he's uh, he messaged me today that he's
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: not he's not feeling well, but he said that he's
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: so excited that we've been putting out all this content,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: uh you know, as far as podcast go, because he's
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: just laying down listening to all these and having a blast.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: So I love that even though he's you know, three
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: time zones away, he's still really into the Walking County
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: high school sports scene, and and that's never going to change.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: I love it. I mean I think at this point, Tyler,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: he's like a wat com Preps legend. Yeah, yeah, he is.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I mean he really is. I mean wal com Preps legend.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: That's his new no longer guest picker wa com Preps legend,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Jeff Beard. Yeah, and all around good guy, uh, funny guy,
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: loves his high school athletics and uh yeah, I mean Tyler,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: he's even done things where he knows how crazy you
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: and I are for stadiums. He sent us pictures of
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: like stadiums in the area that he lives. Right, I'm
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: looking at it going, I mean, don't get me wrong,
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: beautiful stadiums. I'm sitting there going, Jeff, I don't. I
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: don't really care. I mean, I'm just no, I love it.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, let's talk about the pickums, Tyler. So
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: everybody this week is picking Meridian, Squalicum and Nooksack Valley
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: to win their games. So that's a wash either. We're going,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: h what oh and three, three and oh one and
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: two two and one. It's happening. Right that being said, Tyler,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: we got something to talk about here, Yeah, we do.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Usually I'm the villain, like I'm picking to win. I'm not.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I got no loyalty whatsoever to anybody, and I'm going now, nah,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: this team's losing this game. That being said, Mikayla has
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: stolen my gimmick and taken it to a whole new level.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, she is just embracing the villain role this week.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: She's the only one picking against Mount hold On. There's
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: a huge list here, like bear with me, people, kick
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: your feet up. She is picking against Mount Baker School,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: she is picking against Lyndon Christian, She's picking against Bellingham,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: and she's picking against the Seahome. Now she's the only
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: one picking against those teams, so that means the rest
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: of us we're all picking Mount Baker, Lynnon, Christian, Bellingham,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: and Sea Home. She's also picking against Blaine. I mean,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: she's not going to be allowed in the County Teller.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know that you can keep her going to games.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: And she's gonna be at that Blaine game too. Yeah,
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: we'll see how that goes. I mean, she's she's fearless,
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: first year doing the pick them, and you know she's
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: she's jumping right in a what am I trying to
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: say or a memorable way. I think I was kept
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: saying a memorial way, but yes, in a very memorable
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: way where it's gonna be one of those things where
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: I mean she could jump way out ahead of us,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: or she could fall way back, or it could be
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: kind of a split thing where we all just kind
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: of end up, you know, four and five, five and four,
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: You never know. So but she's really going against the
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: grain here, and I love it because it makes the
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: graphic a little bit more colorful.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so also picking against Blaine
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: is Jeff Bearden. So the rest of us are picking Blaine,
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: which means Joe is also picking Blaine. That being said, though, Tyler,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: you finished in last place last year. I just want
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: to put that out there. But now here's the thing.

  Speaker 3: We'll see because a lot of things are gonna have
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: to line up in place. But uh yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll,
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: we'll find out. It might be like in a state

• 56:41
  Speaker 2: chiefs self. She's got Ranton, I mean she yeah, I mean,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: my goodness. Uh that being said, though, Tyler, the big
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: game of the week Ferndale Lindon. It's also kind of
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: split down the middle a little bit here, Tyler, you
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: and Coach Wood are taking Ferndale, which means Mikayla Jeff
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Bearden and myself are taking Linden, So congratulations Ferndale. But
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: that also means that Joe is taking Linden. So it's
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: kind of crazy how it's working out this week. I mean, actually,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I guess I didn't take a close enough look. Am
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: I going straight up with Joe? Like? I mean, are
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: we picking the same teams? I really hope not. More
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: than anything, I just want to be Joe. That's all
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: I talk about. As long as I be Joe, which,
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: by the way, I don't think I've ever actually been
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: below Joe.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: So you got him last year too, Yeah, so I
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: got that going for me. Anyway, we will uh well update.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: By the way, if you wanted to sponsor something, the
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: pickums would be a fun one to sponsor too. I mean,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: that's that's a good one to sponsor. The fantasy football
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: here we got to talk about that. Tyler. Another dominating
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: year on my part. Uh eight and four? Eight and
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: four Tyler, which means how this happens, I'm not sure.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not real good at math. That means you went
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: four and eight. I just I just want to I
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: just want to put that out there now.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Did you have to get your pro tractor out to
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: figure that out.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: I did graphing calculator T eighty five. What is the
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Texas instruments? Yeah, oh my goodness, what was it? What
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: was the old one? Was it sharp? Isn't? Isn't that?
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it something like that? Like I can just see it.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: How remember how it always had the tilted screen just barely,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: as though like that helped you out at all. And
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: then remember like it got to a point where like
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: the battery would die and you'd have to go to
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: get one of the little watch batteries and like take
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: the screwdriver off. You might as well just spend the
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: three dollars and get another one at that point, Yeah, exactly.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Tyler, we got to fantasy and uh we
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: already flipped a coin and it was actually, oddly enough, Tyler,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't I don't even think I told you this. Uh,
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: the coin was actually on like the US Mince website.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know they had a coin flipp thing
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: on there. But it was a penny and you picked
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: tails never fails, and it was tails. So Tyler, you
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: get first pick what we're gonna do here. We're gonna
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: alternate basically, Tyler's gonna get a pick, I'm gonna get two,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna go back and forth to and two
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: and two and two and two, and then Tyler, you're
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: gonna finish it off with the final pick. We are
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: picking quarterback, running back, receivers. And then it gets a
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: little crazy. Offensive line meaning pretty much all of the
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: offensive stats. Right, Like, basically the offensive line is doing
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: the dirty work. So yeah, they're for.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: The most part is yards and touchdowns on the.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Offense, yards and touch Yeah, like offensive line. They're not
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: getting points for a reception, but yards and touchdowns. And
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: then defensive leads, I believe if you if I remember correctly,
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: defensive lead is very similar to like most fantasy football stuff,
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: right yep, absolutely, okay, and then front seven and back
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: seven on defense. Now we're picking one player at each spot.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: What front seven is, that's defensive line and linebackers. What
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: back seven is is linebackers and dbs. So we got
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: to pick two of these or excuse me, one of
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: each two overall, So really you could pick two linebackers
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: if you wanted. You know, it's kind of crazy as
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I mean, I think we did
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: it quite a few times. Yeah, exactly. You could pick
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: a defensive lineman in a free safety or something, and
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: then the last one is kicker. Now, if you're like me,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: you might just pick the same guy for every stinking position.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: I mean I have been known to do that over
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the years. But kind of the rule here. You can
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: pick him on offense, you can pick him on defense.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: You can't pick the same guy on like offense. It's
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: got a pretty much I mean, like last year, Tyler,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: I took landon downy at what running back or was
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: it receiver? No, it was running back?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: Running running back back?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: Seven? And kicker or something week Yeah, yeah, so yeah,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: we can pick the guy multiple times. Obviously we can't,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: like you know, all this guy plays.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: Her rule too is that we can't pick the same
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: player from the same position the week before the next week.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, which obviously doesn't come into play this week, but
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: we'll get around to that one next week. So Tyler,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: you've got first pick any position you want. I mean,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: you get to pick of the litter Herey, you got
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: the number one pick. What what are you going with?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: I do?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: And I the first there was, you know, I kind
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: of looked at it. You kind of look at it
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: when you step back and you see everything all at once.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: You look at the schedule, and there was a name
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: that just popped right out to me right away, and
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: that's Marcus Nixon at running back. I think he's back
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: home at his natural position, and I think he is
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: primed and ready to go. I actually saw him tonight
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: at the volleyball game. Didn't talk to him or anything,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: but I saw him out there. He is, He's ready. Man.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have a breakout year. Well not breakout,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: but you know what I mean. Amy, He's been had
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: a great year last couple of years, but I think
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: he's just poised to.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Have a huge season.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be comfortable back at his old
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: position and everything's gonna go pretty smoothly for him.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's a pretty solid pick there to start. I mean,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: that's a really really solid pick. I mean, I've got
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: pretty much a pick of anything I want other than
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: Marcus Nixon is really what I'm looking at here. So
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: let's see here, Tyler. You know one thing I like
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: to do, I've always been big on picking offensive line early,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: and uh, I think I'm gonna go with I'm gonna
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: go with Mount Baker, And I think this is a
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: team that, you know, you said it earlier, kind of
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: had a bad taste in their mouth from last year.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: And this is one where I could see the boys.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: I could see the the young man who gave us
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: the intro, Dylan Mo. I could see Brady brul and that.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: I could see these guys going nuts. Who's the other one?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Is it Bryce Something? Yeah?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: Bryce? Bryce Cooper is another run back.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: You talked about him potentially being a guy that could
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: break off some numbers this year. Yep, yep.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: They they got some weapons in the back there, that's
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And and we know offensive line wise, they're going
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: to be solid. So I'm gonna go with Mount Baker's
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: offensive line. And then I'm gonna go You've already got
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: running back, so I want to go quarterback here, and
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Jagger Fife. I feel like Jagger
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Fife is just primed for a huge season, and I
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: think it starts Week one with Deer Park. Yeah.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's a good, good, good call. And I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: was saying that kind of during the during the preview
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: earlier about how you know it's gonna be that hot
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: weather on the turf. I think they're gonna spread it out,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: throw it around, and that's gonna be ah, it's gonna
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: feel like a seven on seven camp or something.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Uh So, yeah, I can totally see that's that is
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: a good pick.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: So I got to Now, this is where I usually
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: start looking at defense a little bit, since there's been
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: no defensive pick, so I kind of have my pick
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: of the litter on that side of the ball. And
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at the different matchups here and schemes and stuff.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: And even though it's week one, we don't really know
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: too much.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you this.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: You're gonna go against on Alaska. You're gonna get a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: ton of tackles right in the middle of the field there.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna pick Colton Lentz in my front seven.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: Now, he's getting moved up to the inside linebacker spot
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: and uh, I think he's just gonna thrive there and
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: and uh you know, I think that's kind of where
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: they're looking at him the next level at Montana. So
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: he's going to get a full season there and he's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: going to do great. So that's my pick at the
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: front seven. And then I think I'm gonna pick a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: team defense here and again you look at you know,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: the schedule and stuff like that in the games, and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: and I really like what coach Olsen is doing with
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: his defense. He's moving guys around to find better fits.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: And you know, I think with with the zu and
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: Blake Kuresky coming off the edge, it's just going to
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: cause fits for Renton's offense. And so I'm gonna pick
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: the Blaine border Right defense as a whole.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: All right, So not picked yet his back seven wide
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: receiver and kicker kicker is always a tough one, especially
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: early in the season.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I think I picked a kicker that wasn't
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: even on the team anymore last year.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that. I remember that. I remember you
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: texted me like the next day and you were like, yeah,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: this is awkward. So I'm gonna go, well, obviously i'm
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: gonna go back seven or receiver, and I think I'm
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: gonna start with you know what, time, I'm gonna do
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: what I always do. I'm gonna go a little crazy.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go We're gonna go back seven, Jagger Fife,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: you know what, We're gonna double up on the young man.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: I just got to hope that it's, oh, you know what,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be really hot over now, you know what,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking with it. Jagger Fife
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: back seven, uh, and then I'm gonna go Andre Watson
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: at receiver. I just I feel like that's a game
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: if if Marysville Pilchuck is as good as some people think,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: maybe you see Holm's gonna throw the ball a little
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: bit more. Maybe they're gonna, you know, have to play
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: a little catch up. I don't know. I just feel
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: really good about what Watson has done over the years,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: and there's no reason to think he's not just gonna
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: carry it on and just go nuts this year. So
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: we'll go, Yeah, We'll go Andre Watson receiver. That's always
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: a good pick.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: It seems like he produces every single game ever since
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: day one is sophomore years.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: So that's a that is a good pick.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: And with the only position not being picked yet as kicker,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go there and I'm going to take
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: Grady Evans from Seahome as well. I think that this
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: could be one of those shootout kind of games. It
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: could be one of those thirty eight thirty five games
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: where he hits five extra points and kicks a game
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: winning field goal. I'd love his consistency kicking on the turf.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: Good weather, shouldn't be any wind or anything like that.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: So I think he has the potential to have a
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: monster game, which is funny because when kickers have good
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: games on Fantasy, it's like, oh, I got eight points
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: out of my kicker, you know. But still, I think
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: he'll do a pretty good job. And I'm going to
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: kind of stay on that defensive side of the ball
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: and look at the back seven and I'm going to
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: go Trey Bosman from Lennon Christian. You know, he's oh,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, he returns with the most tackles from last year,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: over ninety tackles last year. But at the same time
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: he had four interceptions which turned two of them for touchdowns.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: He's a playmaker back there, really really great instinct, smart player.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: And you know what I've noticed from a lot of
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: these Canadian schools that have come down, they like to
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: run the spread. You know, they watched that CFL and
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: they splinging around all over the place, and I think
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: that's just naturally what a lot of them like to do.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: And I think that when you're playing that linebacker spot,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be dropping back and coverage a lot, and
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be sneaky right there in the middle of
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: field where they're just for some reason they're not gonna
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: see him, and there's gonna be a throw where he
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: just jumps up and picks it off and he could
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: take it to the house. So I'm gonna take Trey
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: Bosman as my back seven player.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a good one right there. That's you know,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: And this is the thing that's interesting about back seven,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: right Like, you took two linebackers that could absolutely go
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: nuts here. Well you know what I mean, two guys
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: in the middle there that are just gonna potentially go
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: absolutely You took a lot of tackles here, Tyler. I
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: mean this is yeah, I could be in some trouble.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I'm taking a lot of guys
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: too that helped me out with the youth football. So
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to pay those guys back. And you doubled
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: up on Jagger Pipe and you took Andre Watson too,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: So these are all guys that helped out at the
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: football camp. But you know it very appreciative to all
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: those guys. It was unbelievable.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Well, if that's the case, then at running back, I'm
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: taking one of the Beaner brothers. Uh, that's not a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: bad fish. And I don't even know who Anna Kordus
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: plays this week.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: They're playing at Canadian School, are they really? They're playing
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: one that I've never heard of before.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: I'll have to look it up. But all right, so
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: I've got well, I mean, at this point, I can
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: pretty much pick anything because everything's been picked. So I've
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: got what do I got here? I got defense, I
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: got front seven, I've got kicker and running back running
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: back Interesting, I'm gonna go, you know, Tyler, I'm just
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: gonna stick with it. And since I can't pick Jagger
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Fife a kicker, I'll pick the guy that I wanted
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: to pick all lot Land and downey Land and Downey
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: at Kicker, I just have a feeling I'm gonna pick
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: him a lot this year. You know what's crazy, Tyler,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: Here's I mean? And this is what's kind of funny
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: about that game, Like you and I over the years
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: have just kind of randomly avoided this. Ferndale Linden game.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy that's arguably the best kicker in
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: the county, we didn't even pick him. You're absolutely right.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: And you know, Talon bung Guard had a ran for
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty eight yards last year and he's back,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: you know, and here he returns and we're not big.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: It's just you just we just never know what to
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: expect with these great rivalry games. So it's really hard
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: to pick guys that are in that game.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is crazy, like it's just yeah,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: but it's.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: And you don't really know what it is until you're
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: kind of deep into it and you're like, holy cow,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: we haven't picked anyone from Linden or Ferndale's kind of weird.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's one of those things that it's like,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: it's definitely not planned. It's just you and I both
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: look at it and go, yeah, I mean, here we go.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: But although we both do so have plenty of opportunities here.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: So I took Landon Downy, I'm going to take I'm
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: going to take Dylan Moa in the front seven. So
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: I've got jig Or five back seven, Dylan Moa front seven. Yeah,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: that's where I'm going that's a good call.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: Third year starter at linebacker, and boy, when they got
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: three year starting linebackers, they are usually you know, all
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: conference guys. Right away, he's he's he's a set up
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: there and he's bulked up. He's up to two hundred pounds. Now,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: looks really good.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: So I have not picked an offensive line yet, and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: I have a few in mind, but I think I'm
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: leaning towards Knooksack Valley and I think that they're just
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: they have even though they lost a lot of weapons,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: they still have that ability to light up the scoreboard.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: And you know, if they can, if they can play
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: some smash mouth defense and get some three and outs,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: they can control the ball a lot and move the
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: ball down the field. And you know, with Brady Ackerman
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: leading that line rather, I feel really good about having
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: nuksack Valley's offensive line. So I'm gonna go that way.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: And then, Man, it seems like I do this a lot.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: When you pick a quarter back, I like to take
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: his receiver.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do like to do that.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: It's just for some reason.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: It's not to be snarky or anything, but I think
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: that usually you pick a quarterback that has a really
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: good game, is a really good matchup, but ends up
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: having a really good game. So I'm like, oh, man,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: that's a good pick. I should pick one of his targets.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: So I'll just say something here real quick before you pick. Sure, Yeah,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: you went four and eight last year. That strategy might
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: not be for the best. Well, you know, I I
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: And another one of my strategies is to pick guys
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: that I can look at eye to eye. So I'm
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: going to take Casey Brennan, all five ft six of them.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: And I just think that, like again, on that ninety
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: degree weather on the field turf, it's probably going to
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: be over one hundred on that turf, and he's just
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: lightning quick, and I think he's just gonna be hard
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: to stop. You get in the ball and have him
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: make one move and no one's going to be able
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: to catch him. He could have a really dynamic game,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: And so I'm expecting some big things as the little
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: the young sophomore.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: I've got defense and running back left, you've got quarterback. Ye,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. I feel like we don't normally go
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: that far without picking two quarterbacks, although I guess like
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: we've said before, it kind of doesn't matter once you
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: hit that tipping point.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: Once you yeah, until we get until we get a
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: third picker in this it's.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of the way that it goes by
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: the way, if anybody wants to get in, No, I'm
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: gonna go. I'm gonna go defense here, Tyler, and I
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go with my guy, Tyler Frost and
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: the Bellingham BayHawks. Yeah. So I think I'm gonna do
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: here because I just yeah, I mean, you know, you're
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: going Blaine, and that's the other one that I would
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: kind of want maybe this week. I mean, I'm not
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: gonna lie. There's about two or three of them that
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: I might actually really want. But yeah, i'm gonna go.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Bellingham. I'm gonna go Bellingham, Which is funny,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: we're both in the two Saturday defenses.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're lucky, maybe it'll be close enough
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: that it'll matter.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's Smackducker.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's pretty much all I got going
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: for me right now. Ted, I'm gonna go running back
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: here Tyler and actually, you know what, I'm gonna go
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Saturday as well. I'm gonna go Jad and Piez nice. Yeah,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna go blamed. Good Coach Olson, I
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: know you're listening. Pound that rock, big boy, let's go,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Oh.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: I love those picks. I mean you're right. I mean
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: I said it earlier. Bellingham is gonna hang their head
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: on their defense. They're really opportunistic and they have a
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: ton of experience coming back. You know, those linebackers are
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: so good. But then you got guys off the edge
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: like a Kaiser Barker, Jordan Stone, you got Bly Henderson
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: room around the field.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: I love that defense. So that's a good pick.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: And Jade and Piez he's gotten bigger, stronger, faster, and
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: he could take the bulk of those carries. I mean
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: he's he hit the weight room hard over the summer,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: and you know he's pushing up a lot of weights.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: So I think that's that's gonna be a He's gonna
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: be a really good player. And to finish it off,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: all I need is a quarterback to finish my team.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: And I again, now I know Coach Olsen, I know
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: that Ryland just said pound the rock. Maybe a little
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: play action wouldn't hurt you, because I'm gonna take Colin
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: Davis as my quarterback. And the beautiful thing here is
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: that I love the way he runs the ball too,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: so if he doesn't see something, he can tuck it
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: and run and you can get a little points that
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: way as well. So but I'm really curious to see
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: how there's a lot of new guys in this receiving
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: corps and I want to see how it goes with
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: Thomas Cox and Peyton Bauma and and now Blake Kuresky,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: you know as a tight end, and is Zu who's
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: hasn't played offense yet in his varsity career. He could
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: be a tight end threat stellar shut Some of these
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: guys that are kind of new to the offensive side
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: of the ball. K Kay Kerwin has caught passes, Colby
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: Ship has caught passes. But for the most part, it's
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of new guys. But Colin Davis has thrown
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of passes in the I think he's throwing
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: twenty touchdown passes in his career, so I think he
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: can add on to that, and hopefully he does so
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: I can get some good points out of him.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: Now, Coach Olson, when I say pound the Rock. I
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: ain't talking QB run here. We're talking hand off the ball.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: Think Peyton Manning without the throwing ability.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: All right, But when you get inside the five, we're
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: talking quarterback sneak. I mean, obviously, I think that's just
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: kind of.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: The way to go. That doesn't sound like his offense, Tyler,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: let's run through it really quickly. At quarterback, you've got
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Colin Davis running back, Marcus Nixon, receiver, Casey Brennan, offensive line,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Knoksack Valley defense, Blaine front seven, Colton Lentz back seven,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: Trey Bosman. Kicker. My eyes are just like locked out
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: right now. Kicker Grady Evans. By the way, it's eleven
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: forty five PM. Quarterback for me, Jagger Fife, running back,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: Jayden Piez, receiver Andre Watson, offensive line, Mount Baker defense,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: Bellingham seven, Dylan Moa back seven, Jagger Fife, and kicker
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: landing Downey Tyler. That is it. That is all. That
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: is Week one preview. What else we got anything? Are
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: we done?
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: I think we're done.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: I think we're good. I think we did it.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: We were over an hour on.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: This and we're about a buck fifteen.

• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: where you go. I have a lot of fun with these.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: We're talking about old matchups, and it's fun when you
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: get to like, you know, like you said, like the
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: Mount Baker Meridian match. You know they've gone against each
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: other over one hundred times, you know, or I'm sorry
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: Mount Baker Blaine. You know they've been playing each other
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: since the thirties or something like that. So it's like, yeah,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: this is the one hundred and fifteenth time they've play and
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: the record is this and I like getting I mean,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: I love the history.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: I always have a comment about somebody who's surpassing somebody
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: in the record book for the team, like who's getting
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: close to Yeah, he's eighth on the team and rushing
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: and if he gets sixty eight yards and he will
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: become ninth on the all time leading rusher board at
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: this school or so I'm always having fun with those
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: kinds of things. So if you want, if you're curious
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: about that kind of stuff or or whatever, you can
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: always hop onto walkingmpreps dot com and read along kind
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: of with what we're saying. And I haven't even written
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: it yet, so all have to get on that. And
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: also if you're listening to this and it's Thursday morning,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: then one thing that just came out is my seventh
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: annual preseason All County Teams. So it's first team, second team,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: third team. We're talking off defense, special teams. And that's
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: always a lot of fun because I know there are
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: players that I always look back at the end of
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: the year and go, there's always a handful of like
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: five or six I'm like, boy, I was way off
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: on that. And then there's guys that I have no
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: clue who they are now, and they're gonna end up.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: Being studs that that.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna be like in the top thirty
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: on my top one hundred list. I didn't even have
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: on the list, yep. So I know, I know players
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: look at that, and I know they're you know, they're saying,
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: Tyler doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm a great player.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: I'm going to show him.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: And I love that.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: I love it when players ball out and show me
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: what they can do, and it opens my eyes to
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: to you know, to greatness and what they're doing, and
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to see it. And it's just this
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: is always a super fun weekend. I can't wait to
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: you know, watch film and write stories and add up
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: stats and all of a sudden it'll be Monday again.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: So uh yeah, it's gonna be great.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's the funny thing that people don't understand
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: about you and I, Tyler. At the end of the day,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: we don't care. We're fans, you know what I mean.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: Like go ahead, like like look at the at the
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: end of the day, you shouldn't need me and you
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: to you know, motivate them, like go go ball out anyway.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, sure, just because you don't make first, second,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: or third team doesn't mean anything. Go ball out and
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: then guess what happens? You force us to talk about you,
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: and who gets the last laugh? I mean, I mean
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: it probably be me. I'll probably be laughing anyway, but
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: because I'm not the one making the I'm not the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: one making the preseason thing anyway. But but yeah, anyway,
• 1:19:34
