  Speaker 1: quality and commitment, and I plan to do the very same.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: All right, let's start off with cross-country. And when we
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: talk cross-country, we've got to talk about Stauffer Insurance. You
• 0:55

  Speaker 2: 1A girls, where the Meridian Trojans, once again, are your
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: district champions as a team. Lyndon Christian in second, Blaine third.

  Speaker 2: pronouncing some of these names right. This is the first
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: time me saying them, but Meridian, who won as a team,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: they get to take their whole team, and they did
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: have six of the top eight finishers, so they have
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a strong case to hopefully bring home some hardware as
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a team. They won state last year, so really, really
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: excited to see.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: What they can do this year.

  Speaker 2: it seems like everything's been pretty dry. Um, and that's
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: part of the challenge with cross country, right? Is there's hills,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: there's could be weather.

• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I don't know if she's always finishing
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: near the top, but this might have been her first
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: first-place finish this year. And to do it and to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: win by 12.5 seconds in the district championship, that's a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: good place to do it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: So congratulations, Ari.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: To Ari Thompson of Meridian, you are the Stauffer Insurance

• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Fairhaven difference. Visit them online at fairhaven.wwu.edu. And we are
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: getting set here for Northwest districts. And that will be
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: taking place on Friday and Saturday at the Fidalgo pool
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and fitness center in Anacortes. Of course, Anacortes as a team, very, very,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you know, highly ranked and they're going to probably take
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: it and all that as a team. But a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of local swimmers that are going to be taking place
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in this at districts and the top three from each
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: event are will go on to state uh and so
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: yeah i want to just look at some of the
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: we're just going to talk about some of the top
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: um i'll bring up the top five let's say of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: each event so you look at the um at the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: which which relay is this one oh the 200 medley
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: relay and linden is the second best team squalicum third
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: belliam fourth seal and fifth of course anacortes is the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: best team so um so we got a.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Four other schools.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: There that are vying for a top spot, at least
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the top three there to be able to go to state.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: In the 200-yard freestyle, Elsa Ethelbaugh.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Of Seaholm way out in front leading the pack there.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: The fifth best.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: In the district is Bridget Breary of Alinden. She's a freshman,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: so she might have a chance as well. In the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: 200-yard individual medley, We have Jordan Ebeling of Bellingham. She's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: ranked fourth in the district. And Carmody Beattie, her teammate,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is ranked fifth. So a couple of high-end swimmers there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: but they have some work to do to get into
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the top three there. In the 50-yard freestyle, we have
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: some great ones in this one, all from Whatcom County.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham. Raha Gare of Seaholm. Soleil Rubido
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of Squalicum. Madeline Honkoop of Linden, Claire Fleming-Butella of Linden.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So we got some, you know, we have the top five,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and they're all from Whatcom County.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: So those five right there will definitely be battling for
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: those three spots. In diving, again, Whatcom County usually does
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: quite well here. And Fiona Runnels of Sehome, Effie Taminga
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of Sehome, Carmody Beattie of Bellingham, Amanda Buck of Bellingham,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: all top. near the top there. So diving, especially in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: boys diving, I think it was something crazy last spring
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: at State. Like the top four or five finishers were
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: all from Whatcom County. So really good diving up in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: this area, which is great to see. We'll see how
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the girls do at State or at districts and then
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: get to State. The 100-yard butterfly, the top Whatcom County swimmers,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Jazzy Nelson actually has the top time in the district
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: from Squalicum. And there's a lot of non-Wacom County swimmers
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: behind her. And then Claire Thompson of Sehome, a freshman,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: she's the next one up there. In the 100-yard freestyle,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham is the second best time in
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the district. Claire Fleming-Butella right behind her. Madeline Honkoop has
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the fifth best time. So we got some swimmers there
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to compete. In the 500-yard freestyle, the long-distance one, are
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Elsa Ethelbaugh is by, by far the.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Top time in the district. She is from Seaholm, the senior.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And so she'll be looking to take that Jordan Ebeling
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: of Bellingham is the only other one in the district
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: that can do that in under six minutes or has
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: done it in under six minutes. Then you got a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: lot of non-Walking County athletes after that. In the 200-yard
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: freestyle relay, the Bellingham team is the second best. Sehome
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: is third, Squalicum fourth, Linden fifth. Kind of all that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: same that we've been talking about in the past. Anacortes
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: has the best time as a team, but the four
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Walking County schools right behind them. In the 100-yard backstroke,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Amanda Buck of Bellingham is the fourth best time in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the district's And so she will be among she'll be
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: have to fight through one of those top three to
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: get through to go to state.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So that'll be.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: One I'll be keeping an eye on. 100 yard breaststroke.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Soleil Rubido of Squalicum has the best time in the district.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Raha Gare of Sehome is third. Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: is second.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum is third. So we do have
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the top three times from Whatcom County in the district.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So that should be a good showing there. And then
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: in the 400-yard freestyle relay, again, the Anacortes has the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: best time as usual. And then it's followed up by Linden, Squalicum, Bellingham,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: and Sehome. Again, the top three.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Will go on.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: So very, very exciting to see how this will go
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: out at districts at the Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: in Anacortes. That will be Friday and Saturday. So be
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: ready for that. That's going to be pretty awesome. Let's
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: go to girls soccer, which is sponsored by North County
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Alliance FC. You can visit them online at ncalliancefc.com. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: they got all sorts of things going, different levels. If
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you got a little kiddo that wants to play soccer,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: boy or girl, that is the place to go. Get
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: them signed up and they do it the right way.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of soccer going on out there.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And of course, we're getting that time of.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: The year probably where it's, you know, with the weather changing,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: it'll start, it'll ramp back up in spring and, you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: go to ncaliancefc.com and you can find out when the
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: next signups are and all that and get ready for that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So go check that out.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the scores that happened over
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the weekend. And it was kind of funny because, or
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: over the week, I should say, there was a lot of,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: you know, there were some soccer games that took place
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: during the week that were regular season. There were some
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: that took place and that were post-season.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: The 2A district tournament has been underway and has played
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a few rounds already. So the 1A and 3A, well,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the 3A started on Saturday, but the 1A hasn't even
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: started yet.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So we're kind of all over the map as far
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: as schedule goes. Let's just go to Monday. There was
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a 2A district tournament play-in game out at Blaine High
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: School where Linden beat Sultan 8-0. So Sultan's season came
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to an end. And Ella Atkinson scored the first two
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: goals of the game. Linden was able to roll from there.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: She was assisted by Kylie McVie and Heidi Rude. Mariah
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Vandermeer also had a pair of assists as other goals
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: came from Avery Francis, Sunia Grewal, Lena Vandermeer, Ruby Frerichs,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Zetta Van Dyke, and Dori Langstrath. So a lot of
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: different players got involved there. Also, Ferndale capped off their
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: regular season on Monday night with a shutout win on
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the road against Cedar Woolley 6-0. as Hannah Wynn kicked
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: off the scoring with a goal, which was assisted by
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Liv Luna, and that was quickly followed up by a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: great shot by Mia Collins.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Which angled perfectly over the goaltender's reach and into the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: back of the net.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Collins then found Luna for a goal, and the first
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: half also saw an amazing shot by Josie McClellan from
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: well over 100 feet away, and Ferndale led 4-0 at
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the break. Evie Braun got into the scoring column in
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the second half, And she was joined by Audrey Callen,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: who dribbled past three defenders to score the final goal
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Excuse me.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And then on Tuesday, there was a couple of 1A
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: games to finish off the season as well. Lyndon Christian
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: beat Mount Baker 4-0 as Addie Molendyke led the way
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: with two goals and an assist. Lexi Yoon also had
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a goal and assist while Kaitlyn Cox scored a goal
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and Macy Van Corbach added an assist. And then Nooksack
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Valley and Blaine played to a scoreless tie, and that
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: was that, as I believe that was Blaine's fifth shutout.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Of the year.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And I think it might be in all their wins
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: and maybe their ties, they don't allow a goal.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: So it's just been.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Trouble trying to score goals. Allowing them has been a
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: strong point for Blaine.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: On Wednesday, that's when the 2A district, you know, that
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: first game with Linden and Sultan, that was the opening
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: round of playing around. Then we got into double elimination.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So on Wednesday, 2A district time, the tournament started out.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Sehome beat Linden 2-0 as Briley Valiant kicked off the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: scoring with a header off a corner kick from Amaya Reed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And Sehome's second goal came when Reed was fouled in
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the box and Ayla Woodworth then scored on a penalty kick.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Bellingham beat Lakewood 2-0. Bellingham the top seed. and they
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: got goals from Jane Goldsberry and Addison Bonner, which put
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Bellingham into the semifinals. Burlington Edison, they defeated Squalicum, so
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: they knocked the Storm into the consolation round to play
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. And then on that Saturday, a lot of
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: soccer took place, especially in the 2A district tournament. As
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: it continued out at Civic Stadium, there was a tripleheader
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: out there, which was awesome. I saw my main man, Josh,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: out there. A lot of stuff going on. The Storm
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: kept their season alive with the win over the visiting Cougars.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Rylan Rockefeller scored on an assist from Siri Hoagland. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: a header by Rylah Sabato off a corner kick from
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Addie Wilson gave Squalicum the much more comfortable two-goal lead,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: which was enjoyed by the Storm for the rest of
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the contest. And the Mariners, they took care of business
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: by beating Anacortes 2-0 with the shutout win there. Surin
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Connell scored an unassisted goal. And Amaya Reed was able
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: to score on her own corner kick. So that put
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the Mariners into the district championship game where they will
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: face Bellingham, who got the 5-0 win over Burlington Edison.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: And Stella Eltrich scored first. She was followed by Addison Bonner,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Zoe Rydell, Morgan Dupree, and Sarah Harward as they all
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: got five different goals from five different players. So now Bellingham,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: like I said, they will face Seaholm for the district championships.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Lyndon was already put into the consolation round. They lost
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to Archbishop Murphy on the road, 1-0. Their season came
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: to a close at 6-13-1. And also, in 3A, Edmonds
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Woodway came to town to take on Ferndale, and it
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: was a scoreless tie after regulation. They played the two
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: five-minute overtimes, and then it went to a shootout, and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: It was really tough for Ferndale as they had the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: first chance at it, and they did not score on
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the first goal. So they were kind of playing from
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: behind the whole time. The Warriors scored every.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Single time, and that was that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: And so they win basically 1-0 on a 5-4 penalty
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: kick to put Ferndale, who hadn't lost since their first
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: game of the year, put them into the consolation round.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So when you look at all these tournaments, we're going
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to start off by looking at the 3A right there.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: as Ferndale now will host Monroe. That will be at
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Ferndale High School, Tuesday night, 7 o'clock, in a loser-out contest.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So they're going to definitely need to take care of
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: business there. If they do win, then they will play
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: at Shoreline Stadium against, let's see here, they will play
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the loser of Snohomish and Shorecrest.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And that would.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Be on Thursday night against, at 7 o'clock at Shoreline Stadium,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and the winner goes to state.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: The loser is out.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So Ferndale, they can't lose anymore. They have to beat
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Monroe on Tuesday, and then they'd have to win the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: next one again to get to state. So, yeah, it's, boy,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that'd be tough. But we'll just kind of see how
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that goes from there.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It's going to be, Let's see. This one actually says loser. Oh, okay.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: So if they beat Monroe, and if they win again,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: they go to state. But if they lose again, then
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: they play another game.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: To try to get to state.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of teams in the district, which
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: means a lot of berths in state soccer. So they're
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: still alive. The biggest key, though, is they have to
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: beat Monroe Tuesday night.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That game will be at home.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Monroe on the season is 10-5-3. And I'm kind of
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: looking for some... you know, crossover, uh, if they've played
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: anybody that Ferndale has played and I'm not seeing anybody that,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you know, right off the bat, but 10, five and three,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: you've gone this far. I'm sure it's a pretty darn
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: good team. So, um, we'll just have to wait and see.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Let's hopefully the golden Eagles can get back on the
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: right track and, you know, um, hopefully they learned something
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: from that defeat.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, they had possession like 90% of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the time. And I know, and I mean, I'm sure
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Edmonds Woodway's goalie is really, really good. I mean, she
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: has to be. She stopped a ton of shots. But
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the way that they were playing is they knew they
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: couldn't beat them in regulation, I feel. So they just
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: they just.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Went heavy on defense and they played it per two perfection.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: They got all the way to where they were going
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: to try and beat them in penalty kicks and that's
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: how they did it. So a good game plan by
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: the Warriors, if that was the game plan and Ferndale
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: is going to have to try to bounce back. So, uh,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: so yeah, so that will be, like I said, against
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Monroe on Tuesday night. Um, In the 2A district, like
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I said, this has been going on for a few
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: rounds now, so we've got some matchups already. We have
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: some elimination matchups. Squalicum, they will play a loser-out game.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: That will be Tuesday night at 7 o'clock at Civic Stadium,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and they play against Anacortes. So Squalicum, to keep their
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: season alive, it's Tuesday night, Civic Stadium, 7 o'clock. And
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: then also on Thursday night at Civic Stadium at 7
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: o'clock will be the district championship game. The winner will
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: go to state. That is between Seaham and Bellingham. Really,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: really great matchup there. The one and the two against
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: each other is kind of what everyone's been expecting. Bellingham,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I think they've only allowed three or four goals all year.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: And so this will be a great matchup.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I'm really excited for this one. I'll be out there
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And from there, if Squalicum gets past Anacortes, they will
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: play the game before the district championship game in another
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: loser out game against the winner of Archbishop Murphy and
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: So Squalicum, if.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Squalicum wants to get to state, they have to win
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: three matches this week. They have to win Tuesday, they
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: have to win Thursday, and then they have to win Saturday.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: All these games are at Civic Stadium. That's their only
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: path to get to state. And as far as see
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: home in Bellingham goes.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: They play each other.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Like I said, for the, just for the district championship,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: if you win, you go to state, but if you lose,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: you still get a chance to play on Saturday to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: go to state. That'll be Saturday at noon against the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: team that won them, won themselves through the consolation bracket.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: So at least one team from Whatcom County is going
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: where hopefully we'll be.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Able to get to. And yeah, we'll just see how
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: that goes.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Now, as far as the one, a, district tournament goes
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: for girls soccer that's going to start on monday you're
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: going to have blaine and mount baker play in a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: loser out contest there they split during the regular season
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: beating each other and uh from and all these games
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: are at blaine high school so this would be at
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: six o'clock monday night and the winner would then face
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: meridian and that would be wednesday night at seven Now,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: before that game, there will be a loser out game
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: between Nooksack Valley and Linden Christian. That will be 430
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday. And the loser is out from that one. Also,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it's a loser out between Meridian and the winner of
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the Baker Blaine game. And so then it just goes
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: right to Saturday, 6 o'clock, Blaine High School District Championship.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: The winner goes to state. The loser is out. So
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: if you lose the district championship, you're out. So it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: a true single elimination tournament for 1A girls soccer this year.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And it's basically last team standing, right? So there will
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: be games Monday, Wednesday, and then the district championship Saturday.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: So there will be a doubleheader on Wednesday night at
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Blaine High School. First game at 4.30, second game at 7.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: And then the district championship game will be Saturday night
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: at 6 p.m.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So a lot of stuff going on. And, um, well,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: and the one, I'm telling you, anybody could beat anybody
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in the 1A girls because, uh, we've.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Seen some interesting scores by different teams. And, you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know if playing on turf favors any of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: these teams. Blaine's used to it. Nooksack Valley, uh, played,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: you know, later on in the season on their home
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: field on turf. Um, you know, so I don't know
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: if there's an advantage either way or anything like that, but, uh, it's, yeah,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: should be, Should be really, really good. Really excited to
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: see kind of how.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: All that goes.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: And a lot, there'll be a lot to talk about
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: next week on this show because all these, all these
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: tournaments will have wrapped up or we'll, we'll kind of
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: know what's happening as far as going to state goes,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: you know? So yeah, that'll be pretty exciting. Well, let's
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: go to, let's see here. Let's go to the.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Stat leaders right now. Excuse me. And we'll start off
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: with goals.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: And we have a three-way tie with 11 goals on
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the year. Amaya Reed of Sehome, Macy Kamenga of Mount Baker,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: and Kayla Reeves of Sehome. They've all scored 11 goals.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: With 12 goals on the year, it's Addie Molendyke of
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Linden Christian. Tied for 13 goals on the year, Sophia
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Dion of Bellingham and Les Lane of Meridian. And we
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: have a two-way tie for third place with 16 goals.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Kaylin Hinton of Linden Christian and Addison Wilson of Squalicum.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Mia Collins of Ferndale has 17 goals on the year.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: She is in second place, and Meridian freshman Ella Kravtsov
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: still leading the way with 27 goals. I don't think
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Meridian even played a soccer game this past week, so
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: obviously she's still at 27.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Goals, but she is still leading. That brings us to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: there was a few candidates here that I was looking at,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: but I tell you what, Addison Bonner of Bellingham in
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the district tournament. She has scored in each of the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: first two games. And so I'm going to go with her.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Bellingham is now in the district championship game.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: She's had a big hand in both wins, or I
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: could say her foot and maybe not her hand. But
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a big reason why Bellingham is moving on and going
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to play for a district championship game and a spot
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: in the state tournament. So congratulations, Bellingham. Jude Bellingham's Addison Bonner,

• 26:35
  Speaker 2: All right, well, let's take a look at what happened
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: during the week Again, kind of a weird week as
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the regular season was wrapping up and the 2A district
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: tournament was beginning as well. So it didn't really overlap
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: a ton as far as there was no Whatcom County
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: teams involved in the play-in game. So we'll start off
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: with Monday as Ferndale went on the road. Ferndale played
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: a bunch of games this week. And I know it
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: was kind of making up from what happened earlier in
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the season, but Ferndale They were without a handful of
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: players and still got the win at Mount Vernon, winning 3-2.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: But again, that was due to some big-time players being out.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Svetlana Baydak and her backup, Chinoa Fasani, they were both out.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: But depth has not been a problem this year for Ferndale,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: as Tao Dubé overloaded the stat sheet, 25 kills, 22 digs,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: 3 aces. Um, Adele Overson had 21 kills as well
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: to go with four digs and three aces. And so
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of course, leading the way Brooklyn Larrabee was just all
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: over the place, 49 assists. Um, and yeah, four aces,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: 12 digs, three kills, uh, did a lot of really
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: good things there. So Ferndale getting the win there. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: then the next night, a lot of teams played, uh, boy,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of teams were just finishing out
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the regular season there in Nooksack Valley, getting the win
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: over Blaine, three sets to zero, uh, Elizabeth Delang, big game.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Kendall Juergens, Carson Olney as well.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Bellingham coming back to beat Lake with 3-2. They were
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: down by two sets to zero and got the reverse sweep,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: taking the final three sets, 25-19, 25-22, and 15-11. Bellingham's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: comeback was aided by sophomore Estelle Oaks, who finished the
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: night with.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: 20 kills and 20 digs.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very incredible night for her, as well as the
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: double-double from Sienna Okunami. and she also had a team-high
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: six aces. Lyndon Christian beat Mount Baker 3-0 as the
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Lynx swept the Mountaineers at home for both teams' season finales.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Seaholm beat Squalicum three sets to one. Squalicum took the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: first one, then Seaholm took the rest after that. Lyndon
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: beat Burlington 3-0, convincing fashion 25-4, 25-6, and 25-8, and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Meridian beat Overlake in a non-league contest over a fellow
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: 1A competitor there. Melanie Short led the way with 16 kills.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: And on Wednesday, Ferndale also had another game, this time
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: at home, with a sweep over Cedro Woolley. And Brooklyn Larrabee,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: once again, all-around game, 31 assists, 10 digs, 5 kills,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: 5 aces. Svetlana Badak returned from illness to post 13 kills,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: 4 digs, 4 aces.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And Verona Melnick led the team with 12 digs as well.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: And then on Thursday, Ferndale played again. So they played Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: This time they beat Mount.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Baker in a crossover 1A, 3A game.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: And Mount Baker played pretty well to begin, but Ferndale
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: closed the door pretty quickly, leading the charge at the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: service line with Servir Pachu and Thea Dubé. They each
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: had five aces on the night. Mount Baker was led
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: by Layla Porter, who had seven assists, four.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Digs, two aces, and a block.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: And that's when the season basically came to a close.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: And then the 2A district started on Saturday as Sehome
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: started out by beating Bellingham three sets to zero. Paige
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Flory not only had a double-double with 14 kills and
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: 12 digs, but she also led from behind the service
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: line with five aces. Maren Stiles, she stood out as
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: well with 11 kills. And she's had kind of limited
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: time in the earlier season. I know she was dealing
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: with a finger injury at one point. But she really
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: came on strong here. And it's something when you have
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a left-handed hitter on the right side, it kind of
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: can throw other teams off. And she's been doing a
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: great job with cross-court kills. And, of course, the defense
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: by Jackie Hurley in the backcourt and then up front
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: with Brooklyn Flamer has been pretty strong as well. They
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: beat Bellingham three sets to zero to go to the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: semifinals of the two-way district tournament. Bellingham's season is still alive, though.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: But they....
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: But they will have to win themselves out. They cannot
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: lose again. Squalicum beat Anacortes 3-0, three straight sets. That
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: was at home for Squalicum as Alyssa Rosselli ran the
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: offense with 24 assists, while also picking up a team-high
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: four aces as she frequently found Avery Kettman, who slammed
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: home 12 kills. Bronwyn Jodes led the defense in the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: backcourt with 17 digs, while Lola Froese added nine digs,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: and Rosselli and Abby Fife each had seven digs. The
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: defense up front was led by Tiana Thompson, who had
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: three blocks, and Lola Copenhaver, who finished with two blocks.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Linden took care of Burlington Edison once again.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: That was their 41st straight win.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Lexi Hermanutes, 10 aces on the day, as the team
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: had an astounding 21 aces over the three sets. Finley
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Parcher had 12 kills. Hadley Lamp, nine digs. And Mia
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Burke added seven kills with an 875 hitting percentage, while
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Izzy Stephan handed out 24 assists. So let's take a
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: look here as the 2A. We'll talk 2A here first
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: because they're already underway, like I said. And in the semi,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: now the rest of them going forward, these are all
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: going to be played at Meridian High School. And there's
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: going to be games on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: So it's basically just set up camp at Meridian High
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: School all week.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And for some really good volleyballs, 1A and 2A will
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: both be taking place there. And right off the bat,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Monday night, I mean, you've got a big time matchup here,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: a couple of top 10 teams in the state, Archbishop
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Murphy and Sehome. They're going to be battling for a
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: chance to play in the district championship game. That will
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: be at 530 Monday night. And then following that up
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: after that will be the other semifinal game, Squalicum at,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: or I should say against Linden. Of course, Linden heavily
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: favored here, but Squalicum having their best record that they've
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: had in years. So this is a couple of really good,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: semi-final games that are going to be coming up here
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: those this will be that'll be a double header at
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: meridian high school and also in the other gym at
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: meridian high school at 5 30 bellingham trying to keep
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: their season alive as they'll be taking on the lakewood
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: cougars that'll be at 5 30 on monday night so
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: come out root on bellingham to hopefully they can survive
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: to play another day and the the district championship game
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: that will that will take place on wednesday night at
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: 7 30 at the main court that'll be a fantastic
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: one where the winner goes to state the loser still
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: has a chance to go to state but that will
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: have to take place later on in the tournament other
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: games that are going to be happening at meridian high
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: school we got some uh yeah we got consolation games
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: they're going to happen again like losers will go to
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the consolation round and just play the rest of the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: week so only two teams will be able to get
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: out of this, the team, or to go to go
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: to state.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the team that wins the.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: District tournament, and then they'll just keep playing until there's
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: one team left standing in the consolation round. And that
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: final game will be played on Saturday at two o'clock
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: in the main gym at Meridian high school. And, um,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: we'll just have to wait and see who that will be.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: It'll basically, it'll be the loser from the district championship
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: game against the team that wins their way all the
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: way through the consolation bracket. So, Um, yeah, it's, uh,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you look at it and you go, okay,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Linden is heavily favored. Archbishop's heavily favored. See them in
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: squalicum are right there. Those are four teams just deserving
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: to go to the state tournament. Only two get to
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: go in. So, um, it's going to be pretty intense. Uh,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: also what will be intense will be the one, a tournament, uh,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: And this will kick off on Tuesday night as Blaine
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: and Nooksack.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Valley at 4 o'clock. This, again, was all at Meridian
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: High School.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night, Blaine and Nooksack Valley will play a loser-out
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: game at 4 o'clock. The winner of that will turn
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: around and play a couple hours later. So there will
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: be a double– actually, there's going to be a triple header,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: now that I look at it, at Meridian High School
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night, starting with Blaine and Nooksack Valley. The next– and, again,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that's a loser-out. The next game is– basically the district
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: championship game. It's Meridian versus Linden Christian. Now the winner
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: of that will play in a crossover game this weekend
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: with district two to get to state. So, but if
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: you lose it, then you will play a few nights later.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: You will play on Thursday night at seven o'clock for
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a chance to also go to the district to crossover
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker. They are the three seats. So they're going
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: to be awaiting the winner of Blaine and Nooksack Valley
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and they will face that winner at 8 o'clock on
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. So it's going to be a late night
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: out at Meridian High School. And Mount Baker with a
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: strong advantage here because, well, it's hard to say because
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: they're going to play the winner of a game that
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: will have been done.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: For a couple of hours.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: So you kind of look at that and go, well,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: does that give Mount Baker the advantage because they're going
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: to have fresh legs, they'll be ready to go, or
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the other team will already be warmed up, right, and
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: already have a win and feel some momentum. So it'll
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: be really interesting to see How that game goes at
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: 8 o'clock on Tuesday night out at Meridian High School. Man,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff going on. It's playoff time, so
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: that's kind of how it goes. Again, the loser of
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Meridian Linden Christian will then face the winner of Mount
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Baker's game against the winner of the Blaine Nooksack game,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: if that makes sense. So, yeah, a lot of action
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: going on there. And as far as the 3A tournament goes,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: the seeding still has not showed. I just keep refreshing it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: But the play-in games start on Thursday. So there's still
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of teams that have to maybe finish up
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: their seasons from down south. But Ferndale should be one
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: of the top four seeds, which means they won't play
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: until the following week. Again, they're kind of a week
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: behind Ferndale. they'll be at, you know, they go, they
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: have their state tournament a week later, everything's a week later. So, um,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Ferndale will likely host a game on the next Tuesday,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: the 10th. So it's very likely that Ferndale will be playing,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: won't be playing volleyball for over a week. Um, maybe
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: that explains why they had so many games last week, but, um,
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: and hopefully they'll, you know, if there are still a
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: sickness throughout the team, they can all get healthy and,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and they can go from there. But, So that's why
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: the 3A tournament hasn't really been seeded yet or anything.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: They're kind of a week later than everybody else. So
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: we'll have to wait and see how that goes. Let's
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: take a look at the stat leaders now. And, of course,
• 37:38

  Speaker 2: setter to maintain and have new hitters out there and
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: in different places. And from what I understand, she even
• 39:32
