Speaker 1: it's like ninety percent of the time. That's kind of
0:47
Speaker 1: the way it works out. And he is having a

1:01
Speaker 1: around the ball. So thank you very much to Max

1:55
Speaker 1: can go quickly if you know. They need officials obviously
1:57
Speaker 1: at the youth level, and then junior high team JV,
2:01
Speaker 1: all that stuff all the way through varsity. So uh,
2:04
Speaker 1: let's let's go over these games, seven of them to
2:08
Speaker 1: talk about. So it's still got the conference play. I
2:10
Speaker 1: got Walking County teams playing each other, which I absolutely
2:13
Speaker 1: love and because you know, I love it when it's
2:17
Speaker 1: two teams where I know everybody on the field. Obviously,
2:20
Speaker 1: when it's you know, against a team, I don't know,
2:23
Speaker 1: it's I'm very one sided and I just see the
2:25
Speaker 1: one side. But when it's two teams against each other
2:27
Speaker 1: that I know everybody, it just kind of makes it
2:29
Speaker 1: for this excitement for me where I'm just cheering for
2:33
Speaker 1: everything positive. So let's start off with the big one
2:38
Speaker 1: that was out at Deming Mount Baker over Lyndon Christian
2:41
Speaker 1: thirty four to thirty three. A couple of teams and
2:44
Speaker 1: a top the one a classification in the in the conference,
2:48
Speaker 1: but also in the state. You know, I think Lindon
2:50
Speaker 1: Christian had you know, it was either one or two
2:52
Speaker 1: depending on what pool you're looking at Mount Baker right
2:55
Speaker 1: around six or seven, depending on what pool you're looking
2:58
Speaker 1: at there, and and it was just back and forth constantly,
3:03
Speaker 1: you know, I it was they just traded touchdowns all
3:06
Speaker 1: the way throughout the whole first half. Uh, Lynnon Christian
3:10
Speaker 1: scored first. I thought they were gonna score a little earlier.
3:13
Speaker 1: They hit a big screen pass to Caden Veldman get
3:16
Speaker 1: down inside the five. Mount Baker's defense tightens up a
3:20
Speaker 1: little bit and stops the run there. They go for
3:22
Speaker 1: it on fourth down with a wildcat. The snap, snap
3:26
Speaker 1: goes through Coyman's hands, goes back. Ayton Zamzel picks it up,
3:30
Speaker 1: gets about five yards out of it, and then mount
3:32
Speaker 1: Baker gets possessioned there. But then they're of course forced
3:35
Speaker 1: three and out and the snap goes over the punter's
3:39
Speaker 1: head as soon as the knock. Smith picks it up
3:41
Speaker 1: right at about the five yard liners, so he turns
3:44
Speaker 1: around to kick it and he's just met head on
3:47
Speaker 1: by Caden Veldman on a huge hit. Perfectly legal play
3:52
Speaker 1: and the ball comes out recovered and Lennon Christian right
3:57
Speaker 1: I think two plays later Coyman scores a touchdown there,
4:00
Speaker 1: so that was the first touchdown. The extra point is blocked.
4:03
Speaker 1: Kind of took a little while to get it into
4:05
Speaker 1: place for Jackson Union to kick it. By that time,
4:08
Speaker 1: it was just too late and the kick was blocked,
4:11
Speaker 1: and that was kind of It was a weird deal
4:13
Speaker 1: because Elsie was struggling on their extra points for some reason.
4:16
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is the snap so the holds.
4:18
Speaker 1: The weather didn't seem to be a factor, but they've
4:21
Speaker 1: been pretty crisp on it all year, and I just so,
4:23
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure what was happening here. Could have
4:26
Speaker 1: been a new snapper, and I because there were times
4:30
Speaker 1: when I did not see Luke Van Royan on the field.
4:35
Speaker 1: But I know he's their center, but I don't know
4:36
Speaker 1: if he's their long snappers, So I should probably look
4:38
Speaker 1: into all that before I start talking. Anyways, Mount Baker
4:43
Speaker 1: comes back, scores on a sixteen yard touchdown pass from
4:46
Speaker 1: Toga Tiglau to Jet Ross, and Knox Smith's kick gives
4:50
Speaker 1: Baker the lead seven to six. Elsie comes right back
4:54
Speaker 1: and I mean Eli Mayerberry to Boyce Robertson. It made
4:58
Speaker 1: it really hard to to to to the perfect pass,
5:01
Speaker 1: perfect timing to go up and high point the ball.
5:03
Speaker 1: Robertson catches the touchdown. And these guys are both school
5:08
Speaker 1: record holders for career touchdowns as far as thrown and caught,
5:12
Speaker 1: and they're just adding to these numbers here. They do
5:15
Speaker 1: go for two to make it a fourteen to seven game.
5:17
Speaker 1: Chris Coyman catches a pass out of the backfield from
5:20
Speaker 1: Eli Mayberry. Baker comes back. It's a good drive together
5:24
Speaker 1: Toga Tiglau puts his head down and wedges through the
5:28
Speaker 1: middle of the line to score on a one yard
5:29
Speaker 1: run and Knox Smith kicks it through and it's fourteen
5:32
Speaker 1: to fourteen right away Elsie's They stall a little bit,
5:38
Speaker 1: and it was weird because they called I'm trying to
5:40
Speaker 1: remember if they called no. They didn't. They didn't call
5:42
Speaker 1: time out, but they had fourth down near midfield and
5:48
Speaker 1: I and it looked like they were going to go
5:50
Speaker 1: for it, and they totally caught me off guard because
5:53
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, this is kind of a getsy call
5:56
Speaker 1: here at this time of the game. I know it's early,
5:58
Speaker 1: it was still first half, but the snap went to
6:01
Speaker 1: Eli Mayberry, who also happens to be their punter, and
6:04
Speaker 1: he just pooch punted it and it was a great call.
6:07
Speaker 1: There was nobody back there. It pinned Baker back d
6:11
Speaker 1: and it really turned out to be the right call
6:13
Speaker 1: because a few moments later, Caiten Veldman steps in front
6:16
Speaker 1: of a pass intended for kel Reardon and he returns
6:20
Speaker 1: it twenty two yards for a touchdown. Really give the
6:23
Speaker 1: momentum back to Lyndon Christian there and then it was
6:27
Speaker 1: another The snap was a little errant again, so Maybury
6:31
Speaker 1: picks up throws it into the end zone, but it's
6:33
Speaker 1: batted away I believe by Aaron Torres, and so it
6:36
Speaker 1: made it twenty to fourteen. Baker scores again with nineteen
6:40
Speaker 1: seconds to go in the half as Jet Ross caught
6:43
Speaker 1: an eight yard pass from Toga Tigelau. A Knox Smith's
6:46
Speaker 1: kick made it twenty one to twenty at the half. So,
6:50
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just constant back and forth, back
6:53
Speaker 1: and forth. At that point, you know, you could see that,
6:57
Speaker 1: you know, Baker had made a few more mistakes, you know,
7:00
Speaker 1: the snap over the punter's head. I believe they also
7:04
Speaker 1: muffed a punt earlier, and then it went the same
7:10
Speaker 1: way the other way around too later on. I mean,
7:12
Speaker 1: it was just a lot of things and then the
7:13
Speaker 1: pick six and Elsie was taking advantage. And it's hard
7:16
Speaker 1: to you know, any kind of mistake against a really
7:18
Speaker 1: good team, they're going to make you pay for it immediately,
7:21
Speaker 1: which they did. It was quite the battle. Now, the
7:24
Speaker 1: third quarter was all Lennon Christian and I thought what
7:27
Speaker 1: really got them going in the third quarter was Chris
7:30
Speaker 1: Coyman's running. I mean, he was so dynamic in the
7:33
Speaker 1: third quarter. He finished with one hundred and six yards rushing.
7:37
Speaker 1: Seventy five of them were in that quarter alone, broke
7:40
Speaker 1: off a couple of long runs, really got them going.
7:42
Speaker 1: I mean he is he is that engine. Really. I
7:46
Speaker 1: mean when he's going, you can't stop him. It just
7:49
Speaker 1: trickles down to everything around the offense. And he really
7:53
Speaker 1: really got things going. Like I said, they score a
7:57
Speaker 1: couple more touchdowns in that quarter. Robertson is a twenty
8:00
Speaker 1: three yard pass from Mayberry. Coyman has a fourteen yard
8:03
Speaker 1: touchdown run, and they went for two at one point,
8:08
Speaker 1: didn't get it, and then Yun went out and did
8:10
Speaker 1: kick an extra point and it made it thirty three
8:14
Speaker 1: to twenty one going into the fourth quarter. So a
8:18
Speaker 1: twelve point lead still a two score lead anyway you
8:21
Speaker 1: slice it, but a twelve point lead at Mount Baker
8:25
Speaker 1: is able to go down and score a couple touchdowns
8:29
Speaker 1: there in the fourth quarter, both of them to jet Ross,
8:33
Speaker 1: which gives him four touchdown catches in the game, which
8:37
Speaker 1: ties the school record which he broke earlier in the season.
8:40
Speaker 1: It also broke the school record for touchdown receps touchdown
8:44
Speaker 1: receptions in a season with fourteen. For those of you
8:50
Speaker 1: for those of you who have been a walkam kind
8:52
Speaker 1: of sports fan for a long time, you'll remember Roger
8:54
Speaker 1: van Weirdheisen. I Unfortunately I never got to meet him,
8:59
Speaker 1: heard a lot about him. He did hold a record
9:02
Speaker 1: with thirteen That record stood for thirty nine years. And
9:07
Speaker 1: Roger what a tremendous athlete, football player, basketball player, State
9:11
Speaker 1: high jump champion. I think he hid jumped six foot nine,
9:15
Speaker 1: so one of the best athletes in Mount Baker history.
9:17
Speaker 1: And so that's all. That was a long time standing
9:20
Speaker 1: record that jet Ross broke. He did it with the
9:23
Speaker 1: twenty three yard touchdown reception from Toga Tiglau with I
9:27
Speaker 1: think I want to say forty four seconds to go
9:31
Speaker 1: something like that, which gave Mount Baker. Now Mount Baker
9:34
Speaker 1: at that point was up by one, so naturally they're
9:36
Speaker 1: going to go for two to try to make it
9:38
Speaker 1: a three point lead. The passes is tipped out though,
9:43
Speaker 1: he just trying to do a quick pass over the
9:45
Speaker 1: middle to kel Reard and it falls incomplete. So they
9:49
Speaker 1: hold the one point lead there, and of course everyone
9:53
Speaker 1: listening is eager to find out what happened at the end,
9:56
Speaker 1: and I you know, it was a lot of stuff
9:59
Speaker 1: going going on and I'm just gonna give you the
10:03
Speaker 1: facts as I know them. Their game is under protest
10:06
Speaker 1: right now as I'm recording this, so but it doesn't
10:11
Speaker 1: stop me from being able to talk about it, I
10:13
Speaker 1: don't think. But basically, from what I saw, Linda Christian
10:19
Speaker 1: right away put together a great play, a thirty six
10:21
Speaker 1: yard pass down the middle of the field to Chris Coyman.
10:24
Speaker 1: Came out of the backfield, kind of lined up in
10:26
Speaker 1: the slot, almost like a wing, and then went right
10:29
Speaker 1: down in the middle of the field, caught a pass.
10:30
Speaker 1: They get past the fifty right there, run a couple
10:34
Speaker 1: more plays to get a little closer. They lined up
10:36
Speaker 1: for a field goal with you know, it was under
10:40
Speaker 1: ten seconds. I know it wasn't very much time left.
10:44
Speaker 1: And Jackson Uni, who's got plenty of leg this is
10:47
Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard try. He kicked a forty seven
10:49
Speaker 1: yard or earlier and earlier in the season, not earlier
10:53
Speaker 1: in the game. But and it was kind of weird
10:56
Speaker 1: because it looked like there was some back and forth,
10:58
Speaker 1: should we go for it, should we kick it? And
11:00
Speaker 1: depending on what they're doing, you use a different ball,
11:03
Speaker 1: So a ball kind of came out a little late.
11:07
Speaker 1: It got placed and then the referee was backing up
11:10
Speaker 1: and you know at that point the balls then snapped,
11:14
Speaker 1: it was kicked. Elsie goes crazy. It went through. But
11:18
Speaker 1: then it was brought to the attention that you know,
11:22
Speaker 1: there was no time on the play clock. And I
11:25
Speaker 1: went back and I found footage where it's time stamped to,
11:29
Speaker 1: so I know for sure there was between four and
11:32
Speaker 1: five seconds long that it showed zero in the play clock.
11:36
Speaker 1: But the thing that's tricky about that was it was
11:39
Speaker 1: called after the fact. Well, they got together and decided
11:44
Speaker 1: to it was a five yard penalty, so they back
11:47
Speaker 1: them up. They and I don't know if they put
11:50
Speaker 1: time back on the clock. It was around seven or
11:52
Speaker 1: eight seconds something like that. They run another play to
11:55
Speaker 1: kind of get those five yards back, which they do.
11:57
Speaker 1: I think they got four or five back on just
11:59
Speaker 1: a quick out to robertson his eighth catch of the game.
12:02
Speaker 1: What a great player they they. They try to kick again,
12:06
Speaker 1: this time with three seconds left. It goes wide left
12:09
Speaker 1: and it's just a wild game. But I mean, neither
12:13
Speaker 1: team deserved to lose. That was what was crazy about
12:15
Speaker 1: that game. It was a It was another classic one
12:18
Speaker 1: day Northwest Conference game where you know, these are two
12:21
Speaker 1: teams that are going to be in the state playoffs,
12:23
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I have no doubt about it.
12:25
Speaker 1: Obviously they have to you know, win their Week ten
12:29
Speaker 1: crossover game, but you know, they're probably gonna both be
12:34
Speaker 1: hosting that crossover game with whoever it is. And and
12:37
Speaker 1: then you know, I mean, I don't think they can
12:41
Speaker 1: host it at their home site. They probably you know,
12:43
Speaker 1: playing at Blaine or Civic or something like that. But
12:47
Speaker 1: these are two you know, really talented teams that might
12:49
Speaker 1: meet up again later this season. So it was a great,
12:53
Speaker 1: great game, and and I I focus on positivity, and
12:57
Speaker 1: that's that's what I do. I've I've got a lot
13:00
Speaker 1: of strange messages over the last forty eight hours, but
13:05
Speaker 1: I just focus on the kids and how awesome they play.
13:09
Speaker 1: And both teams were loaded with it. So as far
13:13
Speaker 1: as stats go, Mount Baker was led on the ground
13:17
Speaker 1: by Bryce Cooper seventeen carries for ninety seven yards, came
13:20
Speaker 1: to Moa eleven carries for sixty nine yards, Gage Smith
13:23
Speaker 1: five carries for thirty eight yards, and Toga Tiglau eight
13:27
Speaker 1: carries for twenty three yards and the touchdown. It in
13:31
Speaker 1: a rarity. And I might have to go back and
13:33
Speaker 1: check this. I don't know the last time Mount Baker
13:34
Speaker 1: won a game without one of their running backs scoring
13:37
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And someone's probably gonna say, yeah, it happened
13:42
Speaker 1: to a couple a couple of weeks ago, you know
13:44
Speaker 1: who knows. But but that was but it was through
13:48
Speaker 1: the air as Toga. Tiglau was eleven for nineteen for
13:52
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty six yards and four touchdowns, all
13:55
Speaker 1: of them going to Jet Ross. Jet caught eight passes
13:57
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty three yards and the four
13:59
Speaker 1: times there was also caught passes caught by Gage Smith,
14:03
Speaker 1: Kel Reard and Bryce Cooper for Lynnon Christian Chris Coyman
14:07
Speaker 1: one hundred and six yards on the ground eighteen carries.
14:10
Speaker 1: He is hard to stop when he gets going, and
14:12
Speaker 1: he he has a for being so tall. He's got
14:14
Speaker 1: a great forward lean when he runs, too, which is
14:18
Speaker 1: scary in its own right. So he's always gonna get
14:20
Speaker 1: those positive yards, which is so fun to see because
14:24
Speaker 1: especially once as the playoffs are coming and the weather
14:26
Speaker 1: gonna get colder, he'll probably get relied upon a little
14:29
Speaker 1: bit more. And you know, I mean, he's looks like
14:33
Speaker 1: he's up for the task, so he'll be just fine.
14:36
Speaker 1: Eli Mayberry eighteen of twenty four for two hundred and
14:39
Speaker 1: forty four yards through the air, and he had a
14:43
Speaker 1: couple touchdown passes, both to Voice Robertson who had eight
14:47
Speaker 1: catches for eighty nine yards, Cayden Veldman five catches for
14:50
Speaker 1: eighty three yards, Chris Coyman two catches for forty two
14:53
Speaker 1: yards why at Campause had a sixteen yard reception, Dawson
14:56
Speaker 1: Hintz had a ten yard catch, and Jackson Julio, who
15:00
Speaker 1: he had had a four yard catch. On the defensive
15:03
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Kel Reardon had another great game
15:07
Speaker 1: from his defensive ends. Spot six tackles, one and a
15:10
Speaker 1: half sacks, and a forced fumble, Andrew Monteeth ten tackles
15:15
Speaker 1: on the day and a half of a tackle for loss.
15:17
Speaker 1: You know, I mean he is at least a foot
15:19
Speaker 1: shorter than Chris Coyman, and he had a couple tackles
15:22
Speaker 1: on him on the sideline where you know, low man
15:25
Speaker 1: wins and he walks around with low pad levels. So
15:29
Speaker 1: it was a fun battle to see there as well,
15:32
Speaker 1: because that happened a few times. And then yeah, cam
15:37
Speaker 1: to moa four tackles, one tackle for loss, a pass
15:40
Speaker 1: broken up, and and Noah Nicole Mills had three and
15:44
Speaker 1: a half tackles and all I'm sorry. He had five tackles,
15:49
Speaker 1: a tackle for loss and half a sack. Jeremiah Sheridan
15:52
Speaker 1: had a sack as well. On the Lenit Christian side,
15:55
Speaker 1: a lot of guys really stood out on defense. I thought,
15:57
Speaker 1: I thought Caden Veldman did a lot, but it was
16:00
Speaker 1: kind of mixed with special teams. But he did a
16:02
Speaker 1: lot of everything. Five tackles, a tackle for loss, a
16:05
Speaker 1: forced fumble. On that punting play, he hit Toga Tiggelau
16:08
Speaker 1: from behind and caused an errant pass that was basically
16:13
Speaker 1: just to pass that went straight to the ground. And
16:15
Speaker 1: he also had to pick six. So I did a
16:17
Speaker 1: lot of things on defense. Why att camp House I
16:19
Speaker 1: thought I had. I mean, he's having a great, great year.
16:22
Speaker 1: A guy that not that he had, not that he
16:24
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, but didn't play a ton last year,
16:27
Speaker 1: played a little bit at the end of the year
16:28
Speaker 1: and in the playoffs. I was kind of expecting this
16:31
Speaker 1: kind of year, but maybe not this extravagant. Just doing
16:35
Speaker 1: stuff in the return game and defensively eight tackles, three
16:39
Speaker 1: passes broken up. He also forced a fumble that he recovered.
16:43
Speaker 1: He had a really really great game on defense. Trey
16:46
Speaker 1: Johnson always has a great game on defense. Twelve tackles,
16:49
Speaker 1: half a quarterback sack, a pass broken up. I believe
16:52
Speaker 1: on that two point conversion try at the end of
16:54
Speaker 1: the game, and probably led with most echoes through Deming
16:59
Speaker 1: with his big hit, and he's always laying the lumber.
17:01
Speaker 1: Judah Calvin six and a half tackles and a quarterback sack,
17:04
Speaker 1: Gunner to cost eight and a half tackles, so you know,
17:08
Speaker 1: a lot of guys doing some good things. Dawson Heinz
17:10
Speaker 1: had seven tackles. So yeah, it was it was a
17:16
Speaker 1: It was a heck of a game. And like like
17:20
Speaker 1: I said, neither team deserve to lose. There's a great,
17:24
Speaker 1: great battle. And don't be surprised if they meet up again. Uh,
17:27
Speaker 1: it would definitely be epic. And for our next game,
17:31
Speaker 1: we'll go out to Civic Stadium. Well it's the Seahome
17:34
Speaker 1: Mariners who defeated the Bellingham BayHawks fifty six to seven.
17:39
Speaker 1: Our coach, coach Jeff Wood was out at that game
17:41
Speaker 1: and so we'll bring him in on this edition of
17:43
Speaker 1: the Coach's Corner to talk about it. Coach, how are
17:45
Speaker 1: you doing today?
17:48
Speaker 2: Not quite as well after Mariners losing Game six, but
17:51
Speaker 2: I guess we get a Game seven tomorrow, so that'll
17:54
Speaker 2: be exciting.
17:55
Speaker 1: Absolutely and hopefully by the time people are listening to this,
17:59
Speaker 1: the Mariners have moved on to the World Series. So
18:02
Speaker 1: for the first time in the franchise history, the last
18:05
Speaker 1: team in the Majors to finally do it after every
18:09
Speaker 1: everybody else has already done it. UT's yeah, let's talk
18:12
Speaker 1: about this game. Rivalry game homecoming for Sea Home I believe,
18:18
Speaker 1: and so a lot going into it as far as
18:23
Speaker 1: the rivalry aspect. You were there, you were you know,
18:27
Speaker 1: on the grounds didn't have that feel, that rivalry feel to.
18:30
Speaker 2: It, did, I mean? Huge crowd for it was Sea
18:35
Speaker 2: Homes homecoming and uh yeah, the weather stayed pretty decent,
18:40
Speaker 2: wasn't raining nice and mild ah, so big bunch of
18:46
Speaker 2: students and parents and families. So the home home crowd
18:50
Speaker 2: was pretty full. The visiting crowd was, you know, decently
18:54
Speaker 2: full as well. And Billingham's got a got a solid
18:57
Speaker 2: team this year, uh you know, so they they came
19:01
Speaker 2: out ready to ready to give Sea Home a pretty
19:05
Speaker 2: good game. And uh, you know, Seahome though, was a
19:08
Speaker 2: little smartened from a couple two straight losses with the
19:12
Speaker 2: Linden Schools, and they were a little extra focused, I think,
19:15
Speaker 2: and playing back at home. So they they came out,
19:20
Speaker 2: they were running the ball, really giving the ball the
19:23
Speaker 2: Sawyer Woods a lot, and he was, you know, he's
19:27
Speaker 2: not the tallest guy, he's quick, he's strong, and he was,
19:33
Speaker 2: you know, getting chunks of yardage.
19:35
Speaker 1: Though.
19:35
Speaker 2: The Lion was opened up holes and they took a
19:38
Speaker 2: pretty good lead in the first half and kind of
19:41
Speaker 2: controlled the game.
19:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, you watched in the very beginning.
19:45
Speaker 1: I mean, Bellingham was kind of playing with him. They
19:47
Speaker 1: were able to turn Sea Home away, They were able
19:51
Speaker 1: to get that fumble recovery, they were able to get
19:54
Speaker 1: a big pass down the field. But eventually they were
19:57
Speaker 1: leading to punts and different things where Seehan was able
19:59
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns. You talked about Sawyer Woods kind of
20:02
Speaker 1: going off and running the ball. I mean, twenty two
20:04
Speaker 1: carries for two hundred and sixty three yards tied for
20:07
Speaker 1: the third most in school history. He also tied the
20:10
Speaker 1: school record for five rushing touchdowns in that one game.
20:14
Speaker 1: When you were you know, put your coaches hat on
20:17
Speaker 1: for a second when you were looking at that. Was
20:19
Speaker 1: it kind of based on maybe what Bellingham the looks
20:23
Speaker 1: that Bellingham were given as for giving to see home
20:26
Speaker 1: as far as guys in the box, maybe just a
20:29
Speaker 1: two or three man front a lot of the times.
20:31
Speaker 1: And so did it make the play calling a little
20:33
Speaker 1: easy to foresee him or just run the ball? No?
20:36
Speaker 2: What it was a pretty light box most downs, and
20:40
Speaker 2: so and Seaholmes got a pretty stout line. They got
20:44
Speaker 2: some big guys, guys that can move h and especially
20:47
Speaker 2: on turf where you know you can get that that
20:51
Speaker 2: purchase with your O line kind of uh, you know,
20:55
Speaker 2: moving moving downhill, get on your guys on blocking and
21:00
Speaker 2: those lanes open up.
21:01
Speaker 1: Uh.
21:02
Speaker 2: You know they were they were able to do that
21:04
Speaker 2: against those kind of lighter box numbers and just their
21:08
Speaker 2: their size and their athleticism. So I think when you're
21:11
Speaker 2: when you're up top and you're seeing that uh and
21:14
Speaker 2: uh radioing down to the to the coaches, uh on
21:19
Speaker 2: the on the field, you know, that was kind of
21:21
Speaker 2: their strategy as well, because it's really pick your poison
21:24
Speaker 2: I mean, uh, you got Nolan, you got a lot
21:27
Speaker 2: of receivers out there. So Sea Holme's offense is pretty explosive.
21:32
Speaker 2: So uh, it's it's kind of tough on on what
21:36
Speaker 2: you're going to defend, and you know, you try to
21:39
Speaker 2: take the passing game out of it, and that's kind
21:42
Speaker 2: of what happened with with Sea Home doing it there.
21:46
Speaker 2: But you know, they belling him. They fought hard, like
21:49
Speaker 2: you said, they they got uh a big pass play
21:53
Speaker 2: to Joe Harward and got it, got on the scoreboard,
21:56
Speaker 2: and you know, kept battling as much as they could,
22:00
Speaker 2: but see Home was just a little too much for
22:03
Speaker 2: him in the end.
22:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know I kind of saw that. I was.
22:08
Speaker 1: I was at the game when Bellingham played Anti Chordus
22:11
Speaker 1: and they played back. They didn't want to give up
22:14
Speaker 1: the big play over the top, which I get that
22:17
Speaker 1: against the team as fast as Antichordus, See Home is
22:19
Speaker 1: very similar. So what Antachortus did is they just ran
22:22
Speaker 1: the ball a ton and they were able to do that.
22:24
Speaker 1: And I think that you're just kind of hopeful that
22:27
Speaker 1: you know, the first guy that touches the back can
22:30
Speaker 1: make the tackle. But one thing that really didn't. It
22:33
Speaker 1: didn't surprise me. But one thing that was that I
22:35
Speaker 1: was intrigued by was Sawyerwood's ability to break tackles. Like
22:40
Speaker 1: you said, a really strong kid. It seemed like if
22:44
Speaker 1: you had to total up his yards after contact, they
22:47
Speaker 1: would be at least over one hundred.
22:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he was. He was breaking tack tackles
22:54
Speaker 2: and always falling forward, and you know, it's nice to
22:57
Speaker 2: nice to see because he had a knee injury last
23:00
Speaker 2: year and he's kind of kind of hitting his stride.
23:03
Speaker 2: So I mean that's great. And you got Cole and
23:06
Speaker 2: uh the big boys blocking for him, uh up front,
23:11
Speaker 2: and yeah, you gotta you gotta be honest, and you know,
23:15
Speaker 2: cover cover those receivers and tight ends too, and watch
23:19
Speaker 2: out for Nolan scrambling. So it's just uh uh it's
23:22
Speaker 2: a pretty explosive offense. So you know, I think, uh,
23:27
Speaker 2: you know, and that's tough, you know, being in that
23:30
Speaker 2: situation where you're a little outmanned.
23:33
Speaker 1: Uh.
23:33
Speaker 2: I remember our first couple of years at Seahome was
23:36
Speaker 2: kind of like that. Just in terms of our numbers, Uh,
23:39
Speaker 2: we're not. We had a couple of players, you know, uh,
23:43
Speaker 2: but just the depth and the eleven guys that you
23:48
Speaker 2: can you know, really roll in there to to stop
23:51
Speaker 2: an explosive offense. You know, when you don't have that,
23:55
Speaker 2: you're still you know, doing the best you can. And uh,
23:58
Speaker 2: Belling him definitely is having a solid year with with
24:03
Speaker 2: their players and they're, uh they're building that program there
24:06
Speaker 2: and I think they have some good classes coming. I remember,
24:09
Speaker 2: you know, our first year, we had uh Timmy Mallow
24:12
Speaker 2: and Jay Kaepernick as freshman, so we knew that, you know,
24:15
Speaker 2: and some linemen and some other guys. We knew those
24:18
Speaker 2: guys were coming up through the system. And I think
24:21
Speaker 2: Bellingham's kind of building that as well. So I think
24:25
Speaker 2: going forward, uh, the rivalry will uh you know renew
24:30
Speaker 2: a little bit more on some even even ground.
24:34
Speaker 1: Uh. But but you.
24:35
Speaker 2: Never know, you know, every year is different and h
24:38
Speaker 2: but this is definitely this uh Sea home class. Uh
24:42
Speaker 2: is a really stout class and athletic and good kids.
24:47
Speaker 2: So you know, this is kind of their shot here
24:51
Speaker 2: looking forward to the playoffs, but they have to beat
24:54
Speaker 2: Squalacum uh this this weekend in squal comes playing well
24:59
Speaker 2: and a big win. I was tried to wanted to
25:02
Speaker 2: go watch a little of that, but I wasn't unable
25:05
Speaker 2: to make that. But you know, great group of coaches
25:09
Speaker 2: and talented players. So that game coming up on Friday
25:16
Speaker 2: is gonna be a pretty good one.
25:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, A lot a lot on the line there, and
25:22
Speaker 1: I wanted to go out to that game last night
25:24
Speaker 1: as well. As a matter of fact, the radio from
25:26
Speaker 1: the Port Angelis side made it up and set and
25:29
Speaker 1: they asked me to do the color commentary for them.
25:32
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. I already had
25:35
Speaker 1: plans going on, but that would have been interesting calling
25:39
Speaker 1: a game on the radio for Port Angeleis. But you know,
25:42
Speaker 1: I'm speaking of moving on and and and if they
25:45
Speaker 1: do get to the playoffs, you know, a run game
25:48
Speaker 1: is so important, especially with the weather getting worse and
25:50
Speaker 1: different things like that. Sawyer Wood's having the big game.
25:54
Speaker 1: You brought up Cole Terrell. Here's a kid that that
25:56
Speaker 1: you coached when he was a freshman. He started on
25:59
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Tell me just about him as a
26:03
Speaker 1: player and and as a kid and an athlete.
26:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, overall, great athlete, great kid, gregarious, outgoing, smart, uh
26:16
Speaker 2: and a good leader for those guys. You know he
26:19
Speaker 2: played We had him playing guard right he was obviously
26:23
Speaker 2: not as big as a freshman, but he was still
26:25
Speaker 2: a good sized kid and he you.
26:27
Speaker 1: Know, he moves well.
26:28
Speaker 2: So we're running gap schemes, so sometimes you know, those
26:33
Speaker 2: guards pull quite a bit in gap scheme run plays.
26:36
Speaker 2: So he he was instrumental there as a freshman. I
26:41
Speaker 2: know we talk about Nolan as a freshman, but Cole
26:44
Speaker 2: definitely contributed, played, started h and was instrumental in that
26:49
Speaker 2: team and blocking for Tommy Funk and U. Yeah, so
26:53
Speaker 2: he's been that four year starter as well, and he's
26:57
Speaker 2: you know, motivated. I obviously I know these kids pretty well.
27:01
Speaker 2: I have them in class as well, so they're they're focus,
27:05
Speaker 2: they're motivated, and you know, they got a couple a
27:09
Speaker 2: couple more regular season games. They got one at a time,
27:13
Speaker 2: and then you know that that playoff bracket's going to
27:16
Speaker 2: be pretty interesting with obviously Archbishop being so loaded, I
27:21
Speaker 2: think everybody might be playing for a second. But obviously
27:25
Speaker 2: Avana chordis, you got Linden, you got a lot of teams.
27:30
Speaker 2: Tum Water obviously is always a top team. So that
27:34
Speaker 2: two way is going to be pretty interesting.
27:36
Speaker 1: Absolutely, coach, and I think you nail it on the head.
27:39
Speaker 1: The future looks bright as far as this rivalry goes.
27:43
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a special clasps for Seahome, kind
27:46
Speaker 1: of one that everyone's been looking at for a while,
27:49
Speaker 1: aiming to get things done this year, but going forward
27:52
Speaker 1: they're going to have to kind of retool, while Bellingham
27:55
Speaker 1: will be bringing in with new infusion of talent. I
27:58
Speaker 1: know the subcarsity's been doing well, so it could it
28:02
Speaker 1: could make for a great rivalry for the years to come.
28:04
Speaker 1: And that's that's great news for everybody in Walking County
28:07
Speaker 1: involving sports. Thank you so much coach for joining me
28:10
Speaker 1: on the coach's corner and I'll talk to you next week,
28:13
Speaker 1: all right, Tyler. Thanks Well, there you have it from
28:17
Speaker 1: Coach Wood rivalry game that went the way of the
28:20
Speaker 1: Seahome Mariners. There, and let's move on and talk about
28:24
Speaker 1: Ferndale football. Ferndale hosted Lake Stevens, top ranked team in
28:28
Speaker 1: four A. That is a really, really tall task, but
28:32
Speaker 1: I think what stood out to everybody was that Ferndale
28:34
Speaker 1: hung with them. They didn't allow a running clock on them,
28:38
Speaker 1: played them so much harder than they did last season,
28:40
Speaker 1: which is great to see. And you know, I was
28:44
Speaker 1: talking to a lot of Lake Stevens people before the game,
28:47
Speaker 1: after the game, and they were impressed with how Ferndale
28:49
Speaker 1: hung with them, especially being such a young team. Lake
28:52
Speaker 1: Stevens is just loaded with talent. Their quarterback you might
28:57
Speaker 1: see him, you know, throwing passes around on Saturdays, or
29:01
Speaker 1: you might see him. Might see him pitch in the
29:03
Speaker 1: World Series some days. Got a ninety six mile an
29:05
Speaker 1: hour fastball. And he's just a junior. So crazy good
29:10
Speaker 1: how he is. I mean, you saw the talent on
29:11
Speaker 1: the outside, the receivers, the running back so much just
29:15
Speaker 1: overall speed and size, big playability by the Lake Stevens vikings,
29:20
Speaker 1: putting up over five hundred yards of offense. Ferndale does
29:25
Speaker 1: score late in the game, Jonathan Stannik with a one
29:27
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run. Elliott Lentz in twenty seven carries for
29:31
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards. Stannick had carried the ball thirteen times
29:34
Speaker 1: for forty three yards, Nolan Boliac eight of fifteen through
29:37
Speaker 1: the air for ninety one yards, and Ryder Bevan with
29:41
Speaker 1: two of those receptions for sixty one yards. So yeah,
29:45
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, from what I was told, and
29:48
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I watched the film, but there was
29:51
Speaker 1: a lot of good things, and you know, leading up
29:54
Speaker 1: for this big game, to get Sugar Woolley coming up,
29:57
Speaker 1: that's a good sign that things went pretty well. Chance
30:00
Speaker 1: Hatchett had a heck of a game on the defensive
30:02
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Six tackles, one tackle for loss,
30:05
Speaker 1: He forced a fumble, and he intercepted a pass as well,
30:08
Speaker 1: so he did a lot of stuff defensively. Elliott Lentson
30:11
Speaker 1: was in on seven tackles. He also broke up a pass. Yeah,
30:16
Speaker 1: so I mean, they they they did some, They did
30:19
Speaker 1: some good things, forced some turnovers. I think they you know,
30:22
Speaker 1: recovered a couple of fumbles, had that interception. So they
30:26
Speaker 1: did what they need to do. They competed for four
30:28
Speaker 1: quarters and and you know, that was what coach Plankevich
30:32
Speaker 1: talked about last week on the podcast when we're doing
30:35
Speaker 1: the Gatorade Game day preview. He just wanted his team
30:38
Speaker 1: to compete for four quarters and they did that. So
30:41
Speaker 1: you know, they have to be pretty happy with themselves.
30:43
Speaker 1: They do fall to Lake Stevens thirty eight to seven,
30:48
Speaker 1: but not a conference game. Great opponent to play, and
30:51
Speaker 1: I know, I know Lake Stevens really wanted to play
30:54
Speaker 1: them because they want to play against a really polished
30:56
Speaker 1: wing te team and so hey that that's pretty good.
31:01
Speaker 1: You can get Ferndale on your schedule. Hats off to them.
31:04
Speaker 1: Let's jump out to Laurel now as Knooksack Valley defeated
31:08
Speaker 1: Meridian forty seven to twenty in a shootout. I mean
31:12
Speaker 1: sixty seven points, tons of yards through the air, seven
31:17
Speaker 1: hundred and some what was it, seven hundred and twenty
31:19
Speaker 1: five passing yards. Yeah, just a lot of a lot
31:24
Speaker 1: of craziness. It was so funny because my intern Mikayla,
31:29
Speaker 1: was going to go out to Bellingham Sea Home and
31:32
Speaker 1: but I found out that coach Wood was going to
31:34
Speaker 1: be going out there instead. So then I asked her
31:36
Speaker 1: if she could go out to one of the one
31:38
Speaker 1: A games, and she chose this one, and my goodness,
31:41
Speaker 1: she was busy because there was a lot going on
31:45
Speaker 1: here Meridian. I mean they get off, they get on
31:49
Speaker 1: the board quickly. I think it was like the second
31:51
Speaker 1: or third play of the game. Trey Alexander hits Casey
31:54
Speaker 1: Brennan for a fifty five yard touchdown pass right over
31:56
Speaker 1: the middle. Casey Brennan with that speed, splits the defense
31:59
Speaker 1: and runs right through everybody, uh, scoring the touchdown. Jackson
32:03
Speaker 1: Hester then catches a seventeen yard touchdown pass from Evan
32:07
Speaker 1: Brown to tie the game up, and then Trey Houghton
32:09
Speaker 1: gives nucksack Valley the lead with a six yard touchdown run,
32:13
Speaker 1: but Ryan Win of Meridian says, not so fast, my friend.
32:16
Speaker 1: He scores on a touchdown run that ties it up
32:18
Speaker 1: at fourteen all. And at that point, there was, you know,
32:22
Speaker 1: there was a lot going on as far as the
32:24
Speaker 1: ball on that one yard line, and I'm going to
32:27
Speaker 1: try to kind of put it all together here, but
32:34
Speaker 1: there there was a there was a snap that was
32:36
Speaker 1: that was mishandled by by Nukxack Valley, and there was
32:41
Speaker 1: a you know, there's a tackle I think I might
32:44
Speaker 1: might have been on a punt and it was tackled
32:45
Speaker 1: at the one yard line. That's how Meriadian scored. And
32:48
Speaker 1: it just continued to be then. But then Meridian got
32:51
Speaker 1: the ball that they fumbled it on the one yard
32:53
Speaker 1: line and they could have scored then. And there was
32:55
Speaker 1: a lot happening on that one side of the field.
32:56
Speaker 1: But kind of what broke it all up was a
32:59
Speaker 1: quick pass to the outside from Evan Brown to Cole
33:02
Speaker 1: Coppenter who then took it ninety nine yards for a touchdown,
33:06
Speaker 1: obviously longest play in Walking County history, because you can't
33:08
Speaker 1: break that record. Yeah yeah, yeah, but there's been a
33:11
Speaker 1: few other ninety nine yarders. I just don't know if
33:14
Speaker 1: Nuksack has had any, so that could have been their first.
33:18
Speaker 1: And then that was followed up by an a long
33:21
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Trey Hughtink, a fifty five yarder and
33:26
Speaker 1: that was really promising to see. I mean him and
33:29
Speaker 1: Trevin skeenstro And I'll talk about this in a little bit,
33:31
Speaker 1: but those two guys at running back, those two sophomores,
33:33
Speaker 1: are improving so much every single week and it's been
33:37
Speaker 1: going really, really well. Nuksack Valley led twenty six to
33:40
Speaker 1: fourteen at the half. Meridian scores first in the second
33:44
Speaker 1: half as Ethan Valloch scores from a yard out, but
33:47
Speaker 1: then it's all Nuksack Valley after that, as Jackson Hester
33:49
Speaker 1: caught it twenty four yard touchdown pass from Evan Brown
33:52
Speaker 1: on a beautiful play where he dove caught the ball
33:55
Speaker 1: right as he was crossing the end zone on a
33:57
Speaker 1: great play. And then it was Evan Brown to Cole
34:00
Speaker 1: Coppinger twice more on two long plays, a forty eight
34:03
Speaker 1: yarder and a fifty seven yarder to put Meridian away.
34:07
Speaker 1: Nukzack Valley was led in rushing by Trey Hugh tinkred
34:10
Speaker 1: ninety one yards on twelve carries. Trevin Stinstra carried the
34:13
Speaker 1: ball eight times for thirty three yards. Tyler Merton had
34:16
Speaker 1: a twenty five yard run as well. From the wildcat
34:19
Speaker 1: spot Meridian. They were held to negative rushing yards. They
34:23
Speaker 1: elected to throw quite a bit. When I say quite
34:25
Speaker 1: a bit, I mean Trey Alexander sixty pass attempts. That's
34:29
Speaker 1: the new Walka County record. The record was fifty eight
34:33
Speaker 1: by former Trojan Simon Burkette in a playoff game. And
34:37
Speaker 1: you know, usually if you're throwing that many times, you're
34:40
Speaker 1: probably not winning. But I think they went into it saying,
34:44
Speaker 1: I think this is what we're gonna do. And it's
34:46
Speaker 1: crazy because he completed twenty seven passes. I know it's
34:50
Speaker 1: under fifty percent, but four hundred and nine yards, so
34:53
Speaker 1: they were making they were doing damage. Only the one
34:55
Speaker 1: touchdown pass that was early on in the game. So
34:58
Speaker 1: Nukzack Valley's de kind of turned into a bend. But
35:01
Speaker 1: don't break against that passing offense. And Trey Alexander don't
35:05
Speaker 1: know if he had to ice his arm or not,
35:07
Speaker 1: but you know, as a as a kid that's spent
35:10
Speaker 1: on the mound enough times, he probably knows if he
35:12
Speaker 1: needed to ice it or not. But yeah, it was
35:16
Speaker 1: it was a little it was a little crazy there.
35:17
Speaker 1: And Evan Brown on the other side, eleven of eighteen,
35:20
Speaker 1: very efficient through the air for three hundred and sixteen
35:24
Speaker 1: yards and five touchdowns. A lot of that done by
35:27
Speaker 1: Cole Koppenter, who had five catches for two hundred and
35:30
Speaker 1: twenty six yards and three touchdowns. Breaks the school record
35:34
Speaker 1: for most yards per catch in a game. Of course,
35:38
Speaker 1: with that record, you have to catch at least four
35:41
Speaker 1: passes for it to be valid. You just can't have
35:43
Speaker 1: like one eighty yard catch and say yeah, I average
35:45
Speaker 1: eighty yards for that game. You have to have at
35:47
Speaker 1: least four catches. He had five for two hundred and
35:50
Speaker 1: twenty six yards and the three touchdowns. Jackson Hester with
35:53
Speaker 1: three catches for forty seven yards and two touchdowns, and
35:57
Speaker 1: then yeah, Cash Jones three catches for forty three yards.
36:03
Speaker 1: Extremely fast kid there. So over Meridians receiving a lot
36:07
Speaker 1: of guys catching the ball here. Pierce Brazowski nine catches
36:11
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty seven yards, Daniel Larson five
36:14
Speaker 1: receptions for ninety two yards, Braiden Fisher the freshman, five
36:19
Speaker 1: catches for seventy yards, really taking over that spot left
36:23
Speaker 1: by their injured River Todd and doing a fine job.
36:26
Speaker 1: Casey Brennan three catches for seventy five yards and the touchdown,
36:29
Speaker 1: Cody Valeos two catches for sixteen yards, Ethan Balach two
36:33
Speaker 1: catches for twelve yards, and Lincoln Burgess the tight end
36:36
Speaker 1: one catch for seven yards. So a lot of offense
36:39
Speaker 1: going on in that one. Niksac Valley just you know,
36:42
Speaker 1: just kind of outdid them offensively as far as the
36:45
Speaker 1: big plays go. They had you know, one, two, three,
36:50
Speaker 1: four plays go for touchdowns that went for over forty
36:54
Speaker 1: five yards. So a lot of big play scores there
36:57
Speaker 1: for the Pioneers. Defensively, Brian Layer have yourself a game,
37:01
Speaker 1: young man as the defensive end. Nine and a half tackles,
37:04
Speaker 1: three and a half quarterback sacks, another tackle for loss,
37:08
Speaker 1: and a pass broken up. Boys, He's having a great
37:12
Speaker 1: season as a defensive end, really coming onto his own,
37:15
Speaker 1: especially in conference play right now, and he's gonna get
37:19
Speaker 1: some notice around the league when it comes to the
37:21
Speaker 1: All League meetings. Having a great, great year. Max Lawtenbach,
37:24
Speaker 1: who gave us the intro, six and a half tackles,
37:27
Speaker 1: three passes broken up. He also had an interception and
37:30
Speaker 1: a fumble recovery. I mean, he's a kid that just
37:33
Speaker 1: does so many things and does him so well, and
37:36
Speaker 1: he's always around the ball, and my goodness. He Yeah,
37:41
Speaker 1: he's just Johnny on the spot and he makes the
37:43
Speaker 1: most of his opportunities. A great, great game. Jackson Hester
37:47
Speaker 1: seven tackles, half a tackle for loss, two passes broken up.
37:50
Speaker 1: I thought he had a great game. Andrew Dugger had
37:52
Speaker 1: eight and a half tackles. It seems like he just
37:54
Speaker 1: averages eight and a half every single game, so really
37:58
Speaker 1: really good game there as well. So yeah, I mean
38:02
Speaker 1: it was Jaydon Jones also four tackles, three passes broken up.
38:05
Speaker 1: He's among the lead now and passes defended always there.
38:10
Speaker 1: Really great cover corner on the Meridian side. Pierce Brazowski
38:15
Speaker 1: I thought had the best game defensive league also. I
38:17
Speaker 1: mean he caught nine passes on offense. He's doing a lot,
38:19
Speaker 1: but he had nine tackles on defense. He also had
38:21
Speaker 1: a fumble recovery. Cody Valleos had a fumble recovery. Jackson
38:25
Speaker 1: fannin steel he's been starting to come on lately. He
38:29
Speaker 1: had five tackles, half attackle for loss, a quarterback sack
38:32
Speaker 1: Savior parent four and a half tackles and a tackle
38:34
Speaker 1: for loss as well. So, Yeah, Meridian falling to zero
38:39
Speaker 1: to two in conference play, they're gonna have to win out,
38:42
Speaker 1: I believe at this point if they want a chance
38:44
Speaker 1: to be one of those top three teams that get
38:46
Speaker 1: into the round of thirty two, and they're gonna have
38:49
Speaker 1: a tall task because they're gonna be playing Lindon Christian
38:51
Speaker 1: coming up and Nuksac fell a huge win for them,
38:54
Speaker 1: kind of gives them the inside track now with two
38:56
Speaker 1: conference wins. So they got to go there and just
39:01
Speaker 1: and and keep plugging away. They have a non conference
39:04
Speaker 1: game this week against Monticeo, who when you look at
39:08
Speaker 1: the one A polls, they're one of the top teams
39:10
Speaker 1: in one A. So Knucksack Valley and their non conference schedule,
39:14
Speaker 1: they're just playing all these top ten teams from around
39:16
Speaker 1: the state. Doesn't matter classification, whether it's Tumwater or Life
39:20
Speaker 1: Christian Academy or on Alaska or Montiseeno. Heck, the other
39:27
Speaker 1: one was against Kings. I don't think they're in the
39:29
Speaker 1: top ten, but they might have been at one point.
39:32
Speaker 1: So quite a quite a schedule here for Nucksack Valley.
39:35
Speaker 1: But they get to host Monaseo. It should be a
39:37
Speaker 1: good game. Bulldogs are traditionally always fantastic, So yeah, it's
39:42
Speaker 1: gonna be It's gonna be pretty darn good. I might
39:45
Speaker 1: be out there, we'll see. That's I'm kind of still
39:48
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where exactly I will be. But
39:52
Speaker 1: Knuzack Valley gets the win here forty seven to twenty
39:55
Speaker 1: over at the Meridian Trojans, let's shop on the ferry,
39:59
Speaker 1: shall we and head over to Friday Harbor as the
40:01
Speaker 1: Border Rights took on the Wolverines and it was all
40:04
Speaker 1: scoring early as after one quarter of play, Blaine was
40:08
Speaker 1: up twenty one to fourteen, and it was funny because
40:12
Speaker 1: Blaine just could do no wrong. I mean, they were
40:14
Speaker 1: just scoring, scoring, scoring, So Friday Harbor came up with
40:17
Speaker 1: the idea of just kicking on side kicks eventually, and
40:20
Speaker 1: they got two of them in a row and they
40:22
Speaker 1: were kind of keeping Blaine off the field. But after that,
40:26
Speaker 1: I mean, it just wasn't happening anymore. I think Blaine
40:29
Speaker 1: held them to four yards rushing total after they stopped
40:33
Speaker 1: recovering the on side kicks, and it was all border rights,
40:36
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, which was great to see.
40:39
Speaker 1: Kay Kerwin had a tremendous game, a couple of rushing touchdowns.
40:42
Speaker 1: He also caught a touchdown pass. Peyton Bauma caught a
40:45
Speaker 1: couple of touchdown passes and he made four extra points.
40:48
Speaker 1: It's good to get that kicking game kind of back going.
40:50
Speaker 1: He's been kind of fifty to fifty on him. Landon
40:53
Speaker 1: Brown caught his first career touchdown pass. He also caught
40:56
Speaker 1: a two point conversion. Kay Kerwin fifty nine yards rushing
41:01
Speaker 1: on the ground on eleven carries with the two touchdowns.
41:04
Speaker 1: He also caught nine passes for one hundred yards, so
41:06
Speaker 1: a great overall game by him. I mean, this is
41:09
Speaker 1: the week of weeks, the hardest week I've I think
41:12
Speaker 1: it's ever been for picking an offensive Player of the Week.
41:15
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got ten players at least that are
41:19
Speaker 1: like that could have won it in a lot of
41:21
Speaker 1: other weeks. This kind of week. It's just been crazy.
41:25
Speaker 1: Jade Johannison also had three carries for seventeen yards, and
41:28
Speaker 1: good to see the freshman Asher Hagey with a couple
41:30
Speaker 1: carries for eleven yards. Keep an eye on him in
41:32
Speaker 1: the future. Very very good athletes still learning the game
41:35
Speaker 1: of football. Connor Brown twenty two of twenty seven through
41:39
Speaker 1: the air for three hundred and sixteen yards. What an
41:42
Speaker 1: amazing game and four touchdowns. Boy, the sophomore just lighting
41:47
Speaker 1: it up in this one. Awesome to see Peyton Bauma
41:50
Speaker 1: five catches for one hundred and twenty four yards and
41:52
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Hunter Candanoza five receptions for fifty seven yards,
41:56
Speaker 1: Landon Brown two catches for forty eight yards, and Jackson
41:59
Speaker 1: Bogart's freshman also had a reception. But the Blaine defense,
42:04
Speaker 1: especially in that second quarter, really kind of really went
42:07
Speaker 1: off here. Peyton Bauma, have yourself a day as well.
42:11
Speaker 1: Nine and a half tackles, four tackles for loss, and
42:13
Speaker 1: two quarterback sacks. So you're talking six total stops behind
42:17
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage out of the eight that your
42:19
Speaker 1: team had, so you're responsible for six of them. That
42:22
Speaker 1: is really something. The sophomore linebacker Matt Campion had nine tackles,
42:27
Speaker 1: including or not including, but also an interception. Axul Shelton
42:31
Speaker 1: had nine tackles, including a tackle for loss and a
42:33
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. Those three guys all year, I mean, have
42:38
Speaker 1: just been putting together big time numbers. Definitely gonna have
42:41
Speaker 1: to get some some all conference you know, looks at this,
42:46
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's it's tough because with the
42:49
Speaker 1: Northwest Conference, they don't do a second team because there's
42:51
Speaker 1: only five five schools, so they don't have a first
42:54
Speaker 1: team second team. So it's really hard to get on
42:57
Speaker 1: the first team, you know, out of the five schools,
43:00
Speaker 1: and they've been struggling in conference play. But man, they
43:03
Speaker 1: got some players. And what's really cool about that is
43:06
Speaker 1: you talk about Shelton and Campion and Bauma and those
43:09
Speaker 1: all these guys are coming back next year, so that
43:12
Speaker 1: that linebacking corps will be quite something. Blaine getting the
43:16
Speaker 1: win was huge, getting their second win of the year,
43:19
Speaker 1: and you know, you do that and then you get
43:21
Speaker 1: to ride the ferry back. It makes for great camaraderie
43:24
Speaker 1: and and but they'll be back in conference play with
43:26
Speaker 1: a tough one. They'll be hosting Mount Baker on Friday
43:29
Speaker 1: and you know, wishing the best elect there. And again
43:32
Speaker 1: it's just about you know, play winning that play, doing
43:36
Speaker 1: the right thing, don't make silly mistakes. And they really
43:39
Speaker 1: put it together against Freddy Harbor, and good to see that.
43:43
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, been rooting for the border rights,
43:46
Speaker 1: you know, for a while, and I just love what
43:48
Speaker 1: they've been doing. Coach Olso, I mean, he's just you know,
43:51
Speaker 1: you can't help but love that guy, and he does
43:54
Speaker 1: things the right way and and I'm a huge fan.
43:58
Speaker 1: So it's a really cool deal. Blaine with the win
44:01
Speaker 1: forty two to twenty one on the road against Friday Harbor.
44:05
Speaker 1: Speaking on the road, let's talk about Lyndon going down
44:08
Speaker 1: to Everett taking on the Seattle seat. I'm sorry the
44:11
Speaker 1: Archbishop Murphy Wildcats. Holy cow, they looked like an NFL team.
44:16
Speaker 1: There was just nothing that could have been done. Everything
44:19
Speaker 1: went the Wildcats way. Lyndon put together a couple drives.
44:23
Speaker 1: The one was in the late in the second quarter.
44:25
Speaker 1: One was late in the game, but no points were had.
44:28
Speaker 1: I mean it was fifty six to zero Archbishop Murphy,
44:32
Speaker 1: and it was I mean, I don't know if I've
44:36
Speaker 1: seen a two a team that dominant. I you know,
44:41
Speaker 1: I don't know who can put them away. There's gonna
44:45
Speaker 1: be some running clocks in the playoffs by this team.
44:47
Speaker 1: They are just that good. And you know, Linden cut
44:51
Speaker 1: shows up banged up, but they're willing to fight and
44:54
Speaker 1: play and do everything they can. But it was just
44:56
Speaker 1: it was just too much to handle. I mean, you
44:59
Speaker 1: met the Wildcats on the worst possible day. They were
45:02
Speaker 1: loaded and ready to go. Lyndon does run the ball
45:05
Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty seven yards. They complete thirteen
45:08
Speaker 1: out of their thirty pass attempts for eighty seven yards.
45:11
Speaker 1: I thought Lucas Lolgi had a pretty good game. I mean,
45:13
Speaker 1: all things considered, ten carries for seventy nine yards. We
45:17
Speaker 1: also completed twelve passes for eighty one yards. So his
45:21
Speaker 1: what is that? That's one hundred and sixty total yards
45:24
Speaker 1: of offense out of your team's what two hundred and fifty,
45:28
Speaker 1: So that's pretty darn good. Dawson van Dalen ten carries
45:31
Speaker 1: for seventy one yards. Austin Postma backup quarterback came in,
45:34
Speaker 1: had a couple of carries for eleven yards. Gordy Bedlington
45:38
Speaker 1: led them and receiving with four catches for thirty two yards.
45:41
Speaker 1: They really did not let anything go over the top.
45:44
Speaker 1: Brody Price three catches for twenty two yards, Sam Arango
45:47
Speaker 1: two catches for seventeen yards, Dawson Van Dalen had a
45:50
Speaker 1: couple of receptions, and then Trey Williams and low Fatigel
45:54
Speaker 1: out each with a catch as well. So but Archbishop Murphy,
45:59
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, is the real deal. And they're just
46:04
Speaker 1: faster and bigger and stronger and do not look like
46:07
Speaker 1: a two A team at all. So they pick up
46:11
Speaker 1: the win there. I don't see anyone getting close to
46:14
Speaker 1: beating them this year in two A and and that's
46:17
Speaker 1: the way it is this season. And Linnen will regroup.
46:21
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna keep fighting hard, set back, come back.
46:25
Speaker 1: I mean all that stuff. It's it's you know, you
46:28
Speaker 1: lose fifty six to zero. People were sending me messages saying,
46:31
Speaker 1: you know, when was the last time they got shut out? Well,
46:33
Speaker 1: I figured that when I was twenty nineteen. But the
46:35
Speaker 1: last time they got shut out in the regular season
46:38
Speaker 1: was twenty fifteen. That was against Squalkum. But I tried
46:41
Speaker 1: to I wanted to look back and went I looked
46:43
Speaker 1: every single game they've played since nineteen forty five, so
46:47
Speaker 1: you're talking eighty years of football, and I'd never seen
46:50
Speaker 1: a discrepancy of score that much. Fifty six to zero.
46:54
Speaker 1: When they played the Jake Locker led Ferndale team they lost,
46:58
Speaker 1: I think it was that that was like sixty one
47:00
Speaker 1: to twelve or something like somewhere in that neighborhood. So
47:03
Speaker 1: that was a pretty big discrepancy there. Mount Baker got
47:07
Speaker 1: him forty seven to zero in nineteen eighty three, but
47:12
Speaker 1: the fifty six zero that was really something. And Linden,
47:17
Speaker 1: I'm sure they just tipped their cap and said, you
47:18
Speaker 1: guys are really good and they're just gonna keep playing
47:20
Speaker 1: and take on Lakewood next week. And that is that.
47:23
Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, I was really
47:25
Speaker 1: impressed with Marcus Kanan sophomore corner, led their team with
47:29
Speaker 1: twelve tackles. He also had a tackle for loss. Plays
47:32
Speaker 1: a lot bigger than he is. He is not the
47:35
Speaker 1: biggest guy, but he's put together pretty well and he played.
47:38
Speaker 1: He hits hard and love to see that. Extremely athletic
47:42
Speaker 1: as we've seen on the basketball court the soccer pitch,
47:45
Speaker 1: and you know, I heard some awesome things from you know,
47:49
Speaker 1: youth football and different things. So I'm sure that he's
47:53
Speaker 1: gonna continue to grow and do some really good things
47:56
Speaker 1: at the varsity level. He also did the kickoffs and
47:59
Speaker 1: punts as Malachi not one hundred percent, but still putting
48:03
Speaker 1: all his effort out there with three solo tackles and
48:06
Speaker 1: two assisted tackles. But Marcus Kanan, I thought played a
48:09
Speaker 1: pretty good game on defense. Brody Price had a pass
48:12
Speaker 1: broken up in four and a half tackles from his
48:14
Speaker 1: safety spot. In the last game we're going to talk
48:17
Speaker 1: about was the Saturday game as Squalkum welcomed Port Angelis
48:21
Speaker 1: to Civic Stadium for a five o'clock kickoff in the rain,
48:25
Speaker 1: and yeah, the Storm played great. You know, I was
48:28
Speaker 1: contacted because Port Angeles has this great radio station that
48:34
Speaker 1: they do the games, you know, not a lot. We're
48:36
Speaker 1: blessed up here. I mean we do two you know
48:38
Speaker 1: walkin County that is they did. They do two games
48:41
Speaker 1: a week. And there's a lot of places around the
48:44
Speaker 1: state that do not do radio games at all, and
48:48
Speaker 1: but Port Angeles does. They will travel. They came up here.
48:51
Speaker 1: They actually asked me to be the color man. But
48:54
Speaker 1: I had a prior engagement had things going on on
48:56
Speaker 1: Saturday night, so I couldn't make it. I don't know
49:00
Speaker 1: how good I would have done. I could help with
49:01
Speaker 1: squalling stuff, but I don't know anything about the rough Riders.
49:04
Speaker 1: I know they wear green uniforms. Then I saw them
49:07
Speaker 1: in Week one against Mount Baker, but that's about it.
49:11
Speaker 1: But before the game, you know, I heard the announcers
49:14
Speaker 1: say that at number fourteen, Anton Osby Ornson is the
49:18
Speaker 1: best player they're going to play all season, and that's
49:21
Speaker 1: pretty high praise. You know. I don't know the rest
49:25
Speaker 1: of their opponents, but boy, he looked the part and
49:27
Speaker 1: he scores right off the bat on a thirty two
49:29
Speaker 1: yard shovel pass. Well it's a long shovel pass, but
49:31
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It covered thirty two yards
49:33
Speaker 1: from Coleburke. Coleburke then hits Asher Osby Ornson on an
49:37
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown pass, and then he hits Avery Wiener
49:40
Speaker 1: on a seven yard touchdown pass. So a couple of
49:42
Speaker 1: swing passes to the running backs as well, and they're
49:45
Speaker 1: up twenty one to nothing. Port Angeles played really well
49:47
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. They scored a couple of long
49:50
Speaker 1: touchdowns on fourth down plays, which is you know, that's
49:53
Speaker 1: what's weird is when you're playing on defense and you
49:57
Speaker 1: make a stop on third down and you get excited
49:59
Speaker 1: and your whole fist up for fourth down, and it's
50:02
Speaker 1: almost like you've kind of used up all your energy
50:04
Speaker 1: to make the stop on fourth down. That when the
50:06
Speaker 1: offense comes out there on fourth down. You see that
50:08
Speaker 1: a lot where it's not that it's a letdown, but
50:11
Speaker 1: you kind of you kind of have to reset and
50:13
Speaker 1: go like, oh, they still have the ball, here we go.
50:16
Speaker 1: And then the other the offense can make a play
50:18
Speaker 1: because their jack that they're still playing on fourth down.
50:20
Speaker 1: So that happened a couple times, and port Angels scored
50:23
Speaker 1: on a couple of touchdowns on those plays. And then
50:26
Speaker 1: they also scored late in the first half on a
50:28
Speaker 1: deep pass that was deflected but then caught out of
50:30
Speaker 1: the air by a rough rider who took it seventy
50:33
Speaker 1: three yards for a touchdown. So they had these They
50:35
Speaker 1: had these three long touchdowns in the second quarter alone
50:38
Speaker 1: to be down thirty five twenty one at the half,
50:41
Speaker 1: and even the announcer, the port Angeless announcement, was like,
50:44
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're in this game. Cole Burke also
50:48
Speaker 1: threw another touchdown his fourth touchdown pass with the first
50:52
Speaker 1: half to Khalil Benta, and then he ran one in
50:54
Speaker 1: as well near the end of the first half, and
50:57
Speaker 1: then in the second half he completed an eight eighty
51:00
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown pass to Anson osby Ornson. This was
51:02
Speaker 1: a great play where Anson kind of wheeled out from
51:05
Speaker 1: his slot position and just found this perfect spot in
51:08
Speaker 1: the zone where no one was within ten fifteen yards
51:10
Speaker 1: of him. Cole Burke is so spot on with his passes.
51:14
Speaker 1: He dotted him right between the one and the floor
51:16
Speaker 1: and Anson turns on the jets and does the rest
51:18
Speaker 1: to cover eighty five yards for a touchdown. And then
51:21
Speaker 1: Colburke called his own number. In the fourth Quartern scored
51:23
Speaker 1: on a three yard touchdown run before Port Angeles gets
51:26
Speaker 1: their final touchdown of the game on a sixty one
51:29
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass against the backups and Sculler. Come scored
51:34
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns and cole Burke was responsible for all seven.
51:37
Speaker 1: He threw five of them, ran for another two and oh,
51:40
Speaker 1: by the way, he passed for three hundred and seventy
51:42
Speaker 1: three yards and that's the new school record, so he
51:46
Speaker 1: breaks the record for passing yards in the game, and
51:48
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago it was passed completions in
51:50
Speaker 1: a game. He was twenty three of twenty nine in
51:52
Speaker 1: this one. Running the ball, they did pretty well as well.
51:55
Speaker 1: Asher osby Ornson twelve carries for seventy yards, Avery Wiener
51:59
Speaker 1: eight for thirty five yards, and Cole Burke with the
52:02
Speaker 1: two carries, both of them finding the end zone. On
52:06
Speaker 1: the receiving side, Anson os Bjornson eight catches for one
52:08
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight yards and two touchdowns. Khalil Bento,
52:13
Speaker 1: probably with his best game as well as at the
52:15
Speaker 1: varsity level, seven catches for one hundred and twenty four
52:18
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. I think he gets overlooked. He's
52:21
Speaker 1: a tremendous wide receiver, but so much attention goes to
52:24
Speaker 1: Anson and Khalil Benta having a great year himself. Asher
52:28
Speaker 1: Osburnson three catches for forty three yards and a touchdown,
52:31
Speaker 1: Avery Wiener with a couple of catches and a touchdown.
52:35
Speaker 1: Zach Watt had he had a he had a catch,
52:40
Speaker 1: Rock Scammel, Judah Kerman. So you know, Colbert getting a
52:44
Speaker 1: lot of different guys involved, which is really great. To see.
52:49
Speaker 1: You know, they they have a sophomore tight end, Colby
52:53
Speaker 1: Colby Giles or Giles, I'm not quite sure. Someone please
52:55
Speaker 1: help me out here. Sometimes with the sophomores, I don't
52:58
Speaker 1: know the names exactly. He had catch as well, and
53:01
Speaker 1: he's caught a few balls. The defense, the defense played great,
53:05
Speaker 1: a lot of stops behind the line of scrimmage. Brock
53:08
Speaker 1: Scammell nine and a half tackles, two tackles for loss,
53:11
Speaker 1: Zach Watt seven and a half tackles, two tackles for loss.
53:14
Speaker 1: He also broke up a pass Asher Osby Ornson four
53:18
Speaker 1: and a half tackles, two tackles for loss. He also
53:20
Speaker 1: intercepted a pass brought it back like thirty three yards
53:23
Speaker 1: or something like that. Avery Wiener six and a half tackles,
53:26
Speaker 1: one and a half tackles for loss. So a lot
53:28
Speaker 1: of stuff happening behind the line of scrimmage on that
53:31
Speaker 1: very very you know, just strong squalkum defense that attacks
53:37
Speaker 1: and does a lot of different things and you kind
53:39
Speaker 1: of never know where they're coming, and they have a
53:40
Speaker 1: ton of speed. So squalkum defense doing a great job
53:45
Speaker 1: winning the game forty nine to twenty eight. They'll be
53:47
Speaker 1: back in conference play next week when they will play
53:51
Speaker 1: host to the Seahome Mariners. Both teams are four and
53:53
Speaker 1: three in a very important game when you consider the playoffs.
53:56
Speaker 1: That'll be Friday night at seven o'clock at Civic State.
54:00
Speaker 1: Let's took a lock take. How about I say that again.
54:03
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the players of the week,
54:06
Speaker 1: and we're gonna start off with offense, which has brought
54:08
Speaker 1: to you by Phoenix Coffee. Check Phoenix Coffee out at
54:11
Speaker 1: eleven bell weather Way and Sweet one oh four in Bellingham,
54:15
Speaker 1: or give them a call at three six zero seven
54:17
Speaker 1: one five one zero five zero. The Phoenix Coffee Offensive
54:21
Speaker 1: player of the week. And like I said, there was
54:24
Speaker 1: like ten guys, ten or twelve guys that deserved it.
54:27
Speaker 1: I mean I I say it every week. Oh yeah,
54:29
Speaker 1: this guy and that guy. No, no, this is different,
54:31
Speaker 1: Like I said, this is like twelve different guys could
54:34
Speaker 1: have could have gotten this. I eventually settled with Cole
54:38
Speaker 1: Coppinger of Nuxack Valley five catches for two hundred and
54:41
Speaker 1: twenty six yards and three touchdowns, including a ninety nine
54:45
Speaker 1: yard touchdown which really kind of changed the game. I mean,
54:48
Speaker 1: it was an even game at that point and that
54:51
Speaker 1: that tilted the things towards Nuksack Valley's favor. So when
54:56
Speaker 1: you consider the importance of the game, I mean it
54:58
Speaker 1: was basically, when you really look at it, that game
55:01
Speaker 1: was for the most part, you win, you're in the
55:03
Speaker 1: round of thirty two. If you don't, you're probably not.
55:06
Speaker 1: So that was huge and making those plays and then
55:11
Speaker 1: putting them away late with the two long touchdowns there,
55:15
Speaker 1: big big day for Cole Coppinger, the senior from nick
55:17

Speaker 1: in my point system that put up over thirty points,
55:40
Speaker 1: which is doing a lot of stuff on defense. The
55:43
Speaker 1: guy with the most points and getting it in the
55:45
Speaker 1: big win was Blaine junior Peyton, Bama, who had nine
55:49

Speaker 1: and extra points. He kinda kind of been struggling a
56:36

56:45
Speaker 1: been for the most part pretty good on his extra points,
56:48

58:29
Speaker 1: Logan Rodgers was, you know, just pushing around junior high kids.
58:33
Speaker 1: I mean, it was really something to see. I think
58:35
Speaker 1: he's got a definite future at the college level if
