  Speaker 2: these other cool things that I'm doing. So yeah, things
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: been good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I spent Thursday and Friday at school watching a lot
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of streaming basketball. Yeah, and I'm not gonna lie. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: didn't know a lot of the teams, didn't know pretty
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: much any of the names. I do quite a few
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of the coaches, I will say that. And uh, my
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: bracket was great until yesterday. As a matter of fact, Tyler,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: between the first four and the first day, yeah, I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: only had one loss, dang, and then it all fell
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: apart and Saint John's I had as winning it they
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: lost on Saturday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Arkansas, who I didn't have
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: winning a game, won two, won two games. They knocked
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: out Kansas, who I had winning, and then they knocked
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: out Saint John's, who I had went Yeah, yeah, stinking
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: John Cala party. But I never liked that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Guy sticking it against his against the fellow countryman.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I've always I've always been a fan of Rick Patino.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, man, Yeah, I've always been a fan.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And so I was like, you know what, and and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you dislike Saint John's, you know
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like they've always been like one
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of those teams that like and maybe it was more
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: growing up. They were always really good. You know, I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: can't remember who the.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Coach and Mark Jackson, Yeah, who's the coach that they had?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Didn't they have one guy for a really long time.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was that Caisecia or yeah, something like that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Carsecia or something.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, but I just remember always liking Saint John's.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm going all in on Saint
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: John's and then yeah, there we go. So and you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: know what the worst thing is, come to find out,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I guess Saint John's wasn't a very popular pick. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I guess you know how like, oh Duke is out. Yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: well everybody had him going to the final four, you know, yeah, right, well,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot of people were picking Saint John's.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So that doesn't do me very good. So yeah, uh yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not in a great spot. That being said, I still
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: have three of my final four as of right now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: so maybe I can do a little damage. But yeah,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not not great let me put it to you that way.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Tyler kay Kerwin intro for Blaine Baseball, a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: young man that we've set his name a lot over
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I feel like in multiple sports.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, still an underclassman too, So yeah, that's you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it's it's rare when you get that athlete that does football, basketball,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and baseball anymore. You know, We've talked about a few
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of them, but they every once in a while you
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: still see him trickling around and he's one of the best.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's funny, we're I was actually talking
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: about that with a couple of our football coaches at
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Bathel the other day, about how there's only a small
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: handful of kids that play three sports at Batball. A
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: lot of them played two. Yeah, like a lot of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: them do. A lot of our football players play either
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: basketball or actually have a lot of guys doing track,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: quite a few guys playing baseball, quite a few guys
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: playing lacrosse. For some reason this year, I don't know
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what happened. There a lot of guys that are like
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: first year of lacrosse players. So it's I mean, very
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: happy to see guys playing multiple sports, especially linemen. One
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: thing I've always hated is linemen that do like shot
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: put in discus because it's like, oh, I want to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: do a sport, and it's like, doesn't really help you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as far as like football goes, you know what I mean.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But it's like lacrosse on the other hand, like I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: feel like that could help a lot if guys are
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: playing defense and they're running around sticking dudes and you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just being aggressive maybe more than anything. But yeah, I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: mean it's cool to see spring sports are in full effect, Tyler.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: This is our first spring sports.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Weekly wrap up, So anything we talk about here is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: actually going all the way back basically two weeks because
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: last week we didn't do one because there just wasn't
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: really enough, so we kind of combined the last two
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: weeks into one podcast here. So yeah, anything you hear
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: here is two weeks old, if you will. Everything we're
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: talking about here, so lots of stuff to talk about.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We've got boys golf, we've got we've got girls golf,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we've got girls tennis, we've got track and field, boys
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and girls. We've got boys soccer, we've got fast pitch,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: we've got baseball. And at some point tonight I will
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: go to sleep, so yeah, and you know it'll be
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: up nice and early tomorrow for football lifting and then
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we got a baseball game we're playing at Mercer Island,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: so probably won't get home until nine thirty. It would
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: be a nice little uh six thirty to nine thirty,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: six thirty am to nine thirty, which is what was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that fifteen hours? So fifteen hour Yeah, fun one fun,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: one excited for it. But yeah, yeah, Tyler, before we
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: get going, you're gonna hear a lot of sponsors talked
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: about on this podcast, because we have a lot of sponsors,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but there are still some things. I mean, Tyler, if
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: somebody wanted to drop some coin on maybe boys golf,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: or maybe maybe they could do a twofer and get
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: boys and girls golf together, because there's not a whole
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: lot of information for either of them, and there's not, frankly,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of events going on between the two.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So maybe that could be a package deal for somebody,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: or maybe they want to sponsor a specific team. We
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: were you and I were just talking about how one
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: business was sponsoring just Linden or Linden Christian in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Fall doing some stuff. And if they want to get
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a hold of you, how do they do that?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Well, getting hold of me is the best way through
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: social media. Just search for walking preps, send a message,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and you know, that's a really easy way. I'm usually
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: getting those messages and my phones on unless I'm recording
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a podcast, as we both know. And uh, but you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I just and I can reply. We can get the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ball rolling from there. If you do want my phone number,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you can find it on Facebook and stuff like that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: with on the business page for Walking Preps and and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you can go from there and and there. Yeah, there
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: are always availabilities. You Know. What I've loved too is
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that a lot of these longtime sponsors that have done
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: maybe they did Spring last year, they were they all
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: jumped back on board for what they did the year before.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They were like, just just put me down for what
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I did last year, like they were all about it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Nobody nobody dropped off, which is great. I did my
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: taxes over the week, so I do have to pay taxes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: But I think that means I think it's a good
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: thing because that means that I'm making more with Walking Preps,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: which is fantastic. And uh so it's it's a it's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: all working, and it's because of you guys, uh that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: are able to sponsor. And if I can get more,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that'd even be better because I could breathe a little bit.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And I think it's gonna happen. I mean every single
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: you know, every single uh season even has just gotten
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: bigger and bigger, which is great, and added a few
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: more this spring, and and yeah, it's just been it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: just been fantastic. And and if we want to keep
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: this thing going, then that's what it takes. And and
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: uh it's been a great payoff as a lot of
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: these business owners will.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Tell you, Yeah, Talbot, why don't we have like a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: h a tax guy sponsoring you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, Yeah, we need like a CPA,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Like who's out there, who's out there that want so
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm on like PBS right now.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Kevin de Young from Lyndon Christian I.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Know he's a he's a CPA, and that's someone who's
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a Yeah, he's a he's been on the football coaching
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: staff forever and uh yeah, he's an awesome guy and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I and I think he would jump on board.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I just haven't talked to him about it before.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Oh oh, there you go. I just created a lead
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: for you and I didn't even know it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah boom, yeah, there you go.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Uh, Tyler, we're gonna start with boys golf. I guess
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: boys and girls golf. There's not a whole lot of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: information yet as far as boys go, Tyler, it looks
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: as though, I mean, has there only really been one
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: or two events so far?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's been there's only been two league events. Meridian
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: did golf against Everett or earlier in the week in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a non league event, just one on one. But but
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: every school has played, and that's what's good is everyone
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: has played, so every golfer has played, so everyone's got
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a score out there. So there's been a little bit
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: of activity and and you know they'll they'll each play
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: every week and then it'll just keep going from there
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and scores will start to round out after that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: As far as league standings go, Burlington, Edison and Oak
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Harbor they are leading. I guess the Northwest Conference. At
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the moment, Meridian is the highest WACOM County team. They
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: are in third, Sea Home right behind them in fourth,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and then there is we'll excuse me, Sea Home and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: or in Seahome Ana Chordis and Ferndale technically tied for
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: fourth all somehow with four fifty five, and then Blaine
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: ELC Bellingham right behind them. So we'll have more information
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: as the season goes and things start to kind of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: work themselves out here. But Tyler, let's talk about the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: top ten individual numbers so far here and some names
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I recognize a couple of well, two names right back
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to back that are leading the county. But let's start
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: at number ten, Tyler.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gavin Nabel from Ferndale, he shot in eighty nine, and.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Then we've got eighty eight, eighty seven and eighty six.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: That's nine to eight seven. What do you got there?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, guys that we know, Lance Lance van Berkham, who
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was in the running for Lineman of the Year now
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: he's out on the links from Nixack Valley shot in
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: eighty eight. Evan Isisley, the former kicker for Bellingham and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: basketball player, shot in eighty seven. And Peyton Bauma, starting
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: corner for Blaine, shot in eighty six. He's gonna be
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a big time player on that football team on both
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: sides of the ball.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we've got three guys tied for fourth place
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with eighty five strokes. Now, Tyler, here's the great thing.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: One of them I picked multiple times and I know
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it because the dude had a lot of tackles in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the fall.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Carl Bach, how about that a sea home he
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: shot in eighty five did really well this past week.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: His teammate Jackson Neiva, who's probably the top golfer Seal
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: we also shot in eighty five, and Peyton Abdia from
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the basketball team at Mount Baker. He shot in eighty five.
• 10:50

• 11:52
  Speaker 2: team that got fourth in the state. So saw a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: lot of him, you know, on the basketball court. Now
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I get to see a lot of them out the links.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Although I got to be careful though, because I went
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: out to cover. I've gone out a few times already
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: cover boys golf. I went out to Semi Amu golf
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: course and I was only there for about fifteen minutes
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: because I got kicked out for wearing shorts. So I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I was able to get my picture and get out,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and and then another person walked by me and goes,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: whoa shorts, You're a brave man. And I'm like thinking
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: to myself, is it because it's cold. I don't I'm

• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the top ones in the county as far especially as
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: far as one a goes. She's gonna make a real
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: push in the postseason. She shot a fifty three. The
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: top spot this week goes to a golfer from Ferndale. Yeah,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Emily O'Toole. I remember her as well from last year.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I remember, and I know there's been other O tools
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: for the other sports aid and o'tool and football and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So uh yeah, shooting a fifty in
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: nine holes, there's no chance I could do that. So
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: that's really really impressive. And like you said, a lot
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: of these golfers from other schools, we'll be able to
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: get their names in there once we get the information,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure that'll start pouring in. And and I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: did get a message over the weekend saying did you
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you know it was probably from a golfer like did
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you get any information from Thursdays? And I'm like, no,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard anything. And She's like, okay, thank you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: She wasn't pushing anything, she was just wondering. Yeah, And
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: so but yeah, I'm sure I'll eventually get all that.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: There's kind of ways to get you know, Excel sheets
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that are shared that people put stuff on and all
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: that stuff. So so yeah, so it's uh, it'll be
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: information that that will come out. Just right now at
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: this time, we don't have it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And that being said, like if somebody has that information,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they more than welcome to pass it along to Tyler. Absolutely,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and you can just reach out to him and with
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a direct message on sol media and he can drop
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you his email address. Make it real easy so you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: can copy and paste instead of trying to listen to
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: what we say. That's it for boys and girls golf, Tyler,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: really quickly, we need to talk about girls tennis. Not
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a ton of matches so far. As a matter of fact,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: it says here that Linden has yet to play, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: pretty much everybody, well everybody as far as Walcome County goes,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: they have only played one Mount Vernon. They do lead
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the league standings. They are two and oh Bellingham they
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: are want to know Burlington, Edison, want to know, Sea Home,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: want to know Lake would want to know. As I mentioned,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Linden has yet to play, and then Squalum, Ferndale, Cedar,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Woollie Okarber and Anna Chordis they have yet to play
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: or excuse me, they have yet to win a match Tyler,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: what kind of information you got As far as girls
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: tennis goes, well.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Not surprised to see Belling him and Sea Home with
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: both with wins there. They're the two in the county
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that I look at and go, oh man, a lot
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: of great players returning. Expect to see some pretty big things.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I would kind of expect that from Lynden as well.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know how top heavy they'll be with some
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: of the talent, but usually they're pretty spread out pretty well.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Bellingham just looks loaded, but see them's always really good
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: as well. You know, I went out to see Lyndon
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Cedral Woolley. I can't remember what day that was. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I had it all set up because I was going
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to Linden Christian after that and then like nooks like
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Valley after that, and I had everything set up and
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I show up and there's nobody on the tennis courts
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't even raining. I was like, oh man,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: this get canceled and I didn't know it. And that
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: was the only match that day that got canceled. So
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I'm ero for two so far going to tennis matches.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I have yet to see one. I keep showing up
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: when it's been canceled, so I know the weather's gonna
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: be kind of weird. There's a big spike on Tuesday
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: where it's really nice, but it's gets couched by some
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: bad days and.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: We'll just have to see.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna make it out there. The great thing
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: about tennis too is I get a lot of great
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: information from parents and coaches and different things where I
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: get you know, all the all the every all the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: results but then different parents will send me pictures, which
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: is fantastic, so it does help me out. But the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: great again, the great, The great thing about tennis is
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: they start, you know a lot of times they start
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: pretty early where I can go catch some stuff before
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I go to a baseball game or fast pitch gamer,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: track and field event or you know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: And golf is like that too.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Golf starts early alive, so I can go check that out,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: so uh, and get some pictures before I head out
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: to some other stuff. So in soccer, a lot of
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: time is late, so I can catch those at the end,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: especially on light on lit fields. So but tennis right now,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: like you said, it's early, but I think Bellium and
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Sea Home, you know, are gonna kind of secure some
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: top spots if you will. I think they're going to
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: play pretty well. I'm really anxious to see Lyndon though,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and I was excited to go see him and then
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: they weren't playing. But so we'll have to see how
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: how that all boils out.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Uh. That's it for girls tennis right now. That's another
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: sport that as we get more matches and stuff, we'll
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: have more information and yeah, a lot more names to
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: talk about Bellingham in their one match they did win
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: six courts to one, and then see Home they won
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: five to two. I did see Home beat Squalcum, Ferndale,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Pedro Wooley or O Carper because they went the opposite
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: way they went two and five. I would assume one
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of them did. I don't know, but yeah, anyway, that's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: girls tennis. Let's talk track and field, Track and field.

• 20:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk top performances. And this is another one
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that some of these names up here probably won't be
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: there come the end of time because there's some some
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: really big names that maybe have even yet to really
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: run one yet. So we will have this every single week,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking about new names. I'm sure it's gonna
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: happen pretty fast too. But Tyler, let's start with boys,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and we will start with the sprints. Give me the one,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the two, and the four hundred meters.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right now, leading one hundred meters is Lucas Lolgi
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: of Lyndon eleven point three seven. At two hundred meters
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: is Porter Leak of Seahome twenty three point one two.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And at four hundred meters it's ty Hoffman from squalkum
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: my guy on the basketball court at fifty two point
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: five to five.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I'd be lucky to finish any of those three. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: definitely would not even start running the eight hundred, the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: sixteen hundred or the thirty two hundred, Tyler, But we've
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: got two names over three different events.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's you're gonna You're gonna see that a lot,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: you know, especially as it gets down there. A lot
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: of these runners run run the same events. In the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: long distance. Ruben Taveldi of Meridian and the eight hundred
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: meters just under two minutes at one fifty nine point
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: seven eight at sixteen hundred meters Berkeley Pass from Bellingham.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: We saw him on the in cross country four minutes,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: four minutes, twenty two point zero four seconds. That's crazy.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Four laps and doing that, and then then thirty two
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: hundred meters If you break ten minutes, that's ridiculous. Ruben
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Taveldi has already done that nine minutes fifty point four
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: to six seconds.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So hold on a second here, does that mean, like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: did he run those both in the same day.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: No, he's he's ran in a few different things already.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what I say.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: But he will he will run He'll run those three
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: events every every meet.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I mean when you're trying to put
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: in a great score on one, you know, you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: on boall ones, and then you gotta run them both.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: That's what is that two and a half miles?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a half mile and then and then two
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I mean three, it's three and a half because thirty
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: two hundred is two, sixteen hundred is one, and then eight.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Oh he runs the sixteen hundred two Oh yeah, in
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: one event. He'll run all three of those. Oh yeah, guy,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they all do. I might fall asleep
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: right now. That's unbelievable. All right, let's talk about the hurdles.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: We've got the one ten and the three hundred.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the one ten, you know, those are the high hurdles.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Are those Those are pretty tough one hundred descents from
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Bellingham fifteen point three to six. And he also holds
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: so far the Welcome County high in the three hundred
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: meter hurdles at forty point two seconds, and you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: that's those are great times. Hurdles is some of those
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: events that traditionally it starts out and kind of high
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: and then it gets better and better as the season
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: wears on. There's a few events that are like that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Hurdles is kind of like that. And so to put
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: up those numbers already, that's that is huge and it
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: would not surprise me at all. He like from beginning
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to end, wire to wire, he holds these these two spots. Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying what these times, but him as
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: as the athlete, you know, yeah.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: He'll improve his time, but it might be the same
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: name the whole way.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it really could be.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Let's talk we've got two relays, the four by one
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and the four by four. Give me those.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For the four by one hundred, it's the Ferndale
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: team of Isaiah Albarez, writer, Bevan Grant, Staffer and Parker
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Merwin at forty five point nine to two. And then
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: the four by four hundred relay, which is a lot
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of people's favorite events where they close the show. Gabriel Papera,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Nico Pethik, Edward Hendrix, and Marcus tan of Squalicum three
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: minutes thirty seven point four four seconds. I was out
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: at that event, but I was not there at the
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: end for that final event.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Tyler Grant Staffers, he related he is the sun. So
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: just so people know, we don't give prefer treatment. He does.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: His group does have the best time, Yes he does,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: just because they're sponsoring. I mean, come on, I want
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to make sure we clear that. And now like like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: like it wouldn't matter. Let's he hear, shot put, discus
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and javelin, Tyler are the three throwing events.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shot put it's Ret Dirsh of Meridian, big strung junior,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: forty nine feet six and a half inches. And if
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you looked at who second and third was you'd go, oh,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: because Brady Ackerman and Colton Lentz are deciding to do
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: track this year. Oh boy, so uh and they're they're
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: doing it for the first time and they are really
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: close to Rehet dirsh already. In discus it's Hayden Nelson
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: of Squalicum one hundred and forty two feet and eight inches.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That is a great, great score. And Hayden Nelson isn't
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: he the star swimmer at Squalicum? So I don't know
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: how many swimmers that you see that throw discus. Yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: that's a really unique combo there, so that you wouldn't
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: think a swimmer would do a throwing event like you would,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: you know, Like to me, that seems yeah, but I
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: mean I guess with discus you might have long arms,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you know, you could really get that body whipping around.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: It just seems like they'd be because of their you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: like athleticism and ability to like breathe, you know what
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like the four hundred might make some more
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: sense or the hurdles maybe, you know what I mean,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: because it's because of their legs, you know, Like I
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, that's I mean, that's crazy. That's actually very
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: impressive though.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: It is it is, and and then Blake Johnson of
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Meridian has the best distance for the javelin at one
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty three feet and six inches. And so
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: that's another one of those events that sometimes it just
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: kind of keeps getting better and better. But Blake Johnson,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I think he was a former baseball player. I think
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: he was playing for Meridian, you know, as a freshman,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and now found a big time spot on the track
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: and field team as a javelin thrower.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: We've got four events that have to do with getting
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: some serious air here, Tyler. Well, two of them are
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: more about distance in the air, and then we've got
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the high jumped the pole vault, which are more about
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: getting up in the air. I know this much. I
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: would be awful at any of these four events. So yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: what do we got there?
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Well, right now, at the high jump, it's cool Lukes
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: from Mount Baker who high jumped six feet already, which
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: is that's a great that's a great height early early
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: in the season. And that's one of the events I
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: just I love watching, just sitting and watching, and I
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: love taking pictures for it because you can get some
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: really cool pictures. The pole vault. Blaize Love Grin of
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Lyndon thirteen feet in the pole vault. Also, I want
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: to shout out to Cole Lukes of the one of
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: my coaches when I played in the alumni basketball team,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, So shout out for letting me start
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the second half. You know, I appreciated that. In the
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: long jump and the triple jump, it's the same kid
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: from Seahome, Maxton Rush. The long jump twenty feet and
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: five inches and the trimple jump forty feet on the dot.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: So those are some those are some pretty good distances. Again,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: especially early, because a lot of these types of jumping
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: events is another one of those ones where as the
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: season wears on, they'll just get better and better.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as you start, especially as the weather gets better too.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah that as you start to refine your technique a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, some of these guys are coming
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: from you know, well swimming or basketball or you know whatever,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and or maybe they didn't necessarily play a winter sport,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: but they weren't focusing on running the you know, one
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: hundred meters or whatever. You know, the these times are
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: just going to get better and better and better. So
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that's boys, let's jump over and talk about girls, and
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: we'll start with the sprints with the one, the two,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and the four hundred.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on the girl's side, one hundred and two hunters
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the same runner from Squalicum Addison Warner, and the one
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: hundred meter twelve point seven to two and the two
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: hundred meter twenty seven point six seven. Those are incredible times.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: You don't see a lot of times under thirteen seconds
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: in the one hundred meters for girls, especially early in
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the season. And then in the four hundred meters Sloane
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Dixon of Lindon fifty eight seconds, fifty eight point nine
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: to five seconds.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I should say, let's talk eight hundred, sixteen hundred and
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: thirty two hundred the distance races. Tyler and I recognize
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: some of these names here, Yeah.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, definitely from cross country. You see a lot of
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: you know, cross country is huge up in this area,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: so you see a lot of these names there. Logan
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Ignacio from Meridian, who I believe has given us an
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: intro before two minutes twenty four point seven to two seconds.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Sloan Clients of Seahome in the sixteen hundred in just
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: over five minutes at five oh five point ninety seven.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: And then in the big long distance run eight laps
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: around thirty two hundred meters, Lucy Penner of Lindon with
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: twelve minutes forty nine point eight five seconds.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Let's talk hurdles one hundred and three hundred.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a little little change here between the boys
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: and girls events. This is the one hundred meters instead
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: of the one ten meters. Hurdles are a little bit
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: lower as well. Bella Onell of Seahome at fifteen point
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: six to three and the three hundred meter hurdles Faith
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: van Brocklin from Lyndon, who's just a tremendous athlete forty
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: seven point eight six seconds.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Four by one hundred and four by four hundred relays.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The four by one hundred is the Squalicum team
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: of Jolie Paz, Addison Garring, Hannah Warner and Addison Warner
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: at fifty point eight three seconds, and the four x
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: four hundred relay team is from Lyndon, Olivia Holmes, Ren Dixon,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Sloan Dixon and Faith van Brockln four minutes and eight
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: point five two seconds.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I mean that is cooking. Yeah, it is absolutely cooking.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that's just wild. What was the boys time there?
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Three minutes and thirty sevens. I mean, that is that's crazy.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: That's what's fun about having those is the final event
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: because it's like, you know, each athlete gets one lap
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: around and then it gets down to the end and
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: it's just it's such a fun way to close it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I love it. I have a lot of great memories
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: as a high school kid going to going to events
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: and watching these, and it was just really really fun
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: way to end it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I may have told this before, but there there was
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a Bellevue team with Miles Jack, Buddha Baker, and then
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the the Richmond brothers. The Richmonds I believe both went
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: to U dub one played one played football. But they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: were just unbelievably fast. And then Buddha Baker was I mean,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: we still know he's an All Pro. He's you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: he's probably one of the highest paid safeties in the NFL.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: And then Miles Jack, you know, he was like a
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: what a third round pick or something, and but Miles
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Jack was like six three two fifteen and he ran
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: the fastest four hundred of them all.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just a lot of all strong guys
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: run a great four hundred because they're great athletes. They
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: can get out to a great start, but then you
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: have to have the power and the stride to finish off.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, I remember Lars Aksberg from Granite Falls.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget that guy. Like there's certain guys, and
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: that was back in the nineties, Like there's certain guys
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: that are just these big, hulking athletes that are great
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: four hundred meter runners. Uh. Caleb Newman from Lyndon was amazing. Yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So you get those big, strong guys sometimes and you know,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: you have the athleticism to start out great, but then
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: you have the power of the stamina and the long
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: strides to finish strong. And that's you know, there's that
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: you know that doesn't surprise me when it's the big
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: guy like that Miles Jack was.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I remember watching Caleb Newman smack himself in the helmet
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: for like forty five seconds straight during the Uh. You remember,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they do this anymore. Remember they
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: used to announce every single player on the roster.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: You know, I think they.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Still do it. Yeah, I almost feel like they don't.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I Mean, granted, I'm usually there all day and I'm
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: just tired, but uh yeah, I remember I was sitting
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: in the end zone. You remember at the Tacomadom how
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the end zone the seating was like elevated. Yeah, And
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I remember looking straight down because you know, Linden had
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: like what one hundred and ninety guys on the roster
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and so their team wrapped all the way
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: around the back of the end zone. I remember I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: remember looking straight down, going what is that guy doing
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: down there? And he's just beating the crap out of himself.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And then and then you're like, oh, Caleb Newman, all right,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: all right, you know, yeah, yeah, keep it one the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that k Yeah, let's talk about the throws here. We've
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: got the shot put, the discus, and the javelin.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no surprises up and down here. These are all
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: great athletes that I saw last year up close and personal,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and they were very, very good at shot put. Jess
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Winstra from Lindy Christian thirty three feet, discus, Ellie van
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Lowe of Lindy Christian one hundred and one feet and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: two inches and a javelin. Kate shin Taffer of Knukzack
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Valley one hundred and twelve feet and one inch would
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I would imagine Kate Shintaffer will also be near the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: top at some point in the pole vault. Just a
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: great overall athlete. And I got to coach her in
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the All Star basketball game. So it's all full circle
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: how this all works out.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're coaching some of the athletes. The athletes are
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: coaching you. I mean yeah, yeah, track and field, it's
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: a it's one small family, tyler. Yeah, Hi jump, pole vault,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: long jump, triple jump. What do we got there?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah? High jump Emerson Varga of Ferndale five to one.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: That is incredible for a girl's high jump. And get
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: this her first ever track met she's a freshman. Wow.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: So you might see some big time numbers coming out
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: of from her over the next three or four years.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: And that was really exciting to see a pole vault.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: We have a tie between Emerson Sobjack of Meridian and
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Jianna Thompson or Gianna Thompson of Ferndale each have pull
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: vaulted eight feet in the long jump. Sonoma Smith of
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Bellingham sixteen feet and half an inch and Sonoma Smith
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: there's no surprise there because she jumps out of the
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: gym when I watched her play volleyball. She's a freshman
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: as well. And then triple jump is Amelia Koning of Meridian,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: unbelievable athlete, three sports star, thirty three feet nine inches.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: That is incredible for a triple jump. She's just a sophomore.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I think she's got potential to do some big time
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: things in the postseason at State, and hopefully I'll be
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: able to make it over there again because that's one
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: of those fun events, triple jump that they get started
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: with early and I can get some pictures there before
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I have to head back.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: That is Boys and Girls Track and Field Tyler again,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Staffer Insurance and Lyndon three six
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: zero seven four six eighty eighth three. From here on out,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: we will pretty much just be updating the new leaders
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: as far as times go, or times and numbers, whatever
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: you want to say. But eventually, at some point, you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know when we'll maybe we'll do a reset
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and just give top to bottom again there. But yeah,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: be sure to check out Walcome Preps for more information
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: on that as this season goes. Let's talk boys at
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: soccer Tyler and not a ton of matches so far,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: to this point. Let's see here, everybody's played two is
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: what it looks like.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not a not a ton going on. There's
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: league matches already, have started a few non league here
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: and there. Lyndon Christian's played four games. They got a
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: game in on Saturday there. But there's been some time
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: there's been a zero zero tie between Meridian and Ferndale. Uh.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: It was funny because I asked, you know, what's great
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: about you know, a soccer too, is that you know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I'm getting scores from coaches, from from players, asking like
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: who scored? And you know, and so I'll reach out
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: to people that I know on the team and I'll
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: be like, what was the score and and do you
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: remember who scored for your team? And I heard about
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the Ferndale Meridian game. They said, yeah it was zero zero.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Uh no, so not a lot of scoring, a lot
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: of yellow cards.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Oh oh boy?
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, and I could see that where frustration kind
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: of gets the best of you. There's, you know, zero
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: zero the whole time. You know, Ferndale and Meridian both
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: got some you know, some bigger dudes on the team,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: you know, some football players. You got Landon Downey out there.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: You know, you never know what's gonna happen, so but
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: it's it's been uh, it's been interesting so far. Uh
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: this the city schools have been kind of showing that
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: they're the cream of the crop. No surprise there. Linden's
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: got a very young young team. Coach Smiley was saying
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: it was probably one of the youngest he's ever had.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: But they're they're two and one so far, which is
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: which is good to see. You know, some of the
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: other teams are struggling a little bit. Linden Christian has
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: has yet to get a win, but they're very They've
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: shown some big time play, like they've shown glimpses and
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: they you know, they had their one tie was against
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon, who's a pretty good team. So so you know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: it's early, like like you said, but we'll see kind
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: of how this goes. You know, see him in Bellingham. Uh,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: you know had you know, big postseason runs last year
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: and and uh you could see kind of that happening again.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see how the rest of the
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: league does.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: That's what I was just saying. I was like it
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: just from my memory, it kind of looks as though
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the same three teams are at the top right now
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: that were there last year, and then Linden the Linden's
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: two and one. And if I can remember, right, didn't
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you tell me that coach Smiley always says, don't come
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: watch his team early in the season because we're not
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: very good.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: That's true. That is one of his his Smiley isms. Uh,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And so you know it's he he will always get
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: the best out of his team at the end, especially
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: as they continue to grow. And and right now they're
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: very very young, and and so we'll see kind of
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: how they develop. But you're right, he does, he does
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: say that, but you know, we'll see, we'll see how
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: the rest of this how the season goes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about goal scorers, Tyler, which are brought to
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: you by and I guess I probably didn't even say
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it to begin with North County Alliance FC.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Tyler.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I didn't even say everything. Yeah, what

• 38:02
  Speaker 1: goal scorers. Tyler and I like how you say this,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: many players with one, which means there's quite a few
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: of them, because that's who the nine and tenth place
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: members are. Many players with one? Yeah?
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's obviously a ton of players with one
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: because it hasn't been that many, that many games. But
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: that means there's eight players that have scored multiple goals.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, and well, as a matter of fact, there's what
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: would it be, would it be seven of them that
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: have scored two? So we've got many players with two
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: as well, Tyler, Yeah, exactly.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are seven players so far that have scored
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: a pair of goals. Aby Brennan, Carson Brethauer, and Nathaniel Wilson,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: all from Bellingham, have scored twice. Alex Benyie of SQUALKHM
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: has scored twice. Malachi Canaan, who we obviously recogonize that name.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Scored twice. Wade Latimer of Blaine and Cody McCauley of
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Squalalkum have all scored two goals each.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Malachi Canan another one of those three sports stars.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Except you know, typically when you start thinking about three sports,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: it's it's, you know, for boys at least, it's like football, basketball,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: then either baseball or track and field. This one's a
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: soccer guy, so.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, football, basketball, soccer, Yeah, you got it like that.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: And then Tyler. We have a leader with a really
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: cool name that I've never heard before. But four goals.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Nobody even has three. This guy here decided the heck
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: with three, I'm going straight to four.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Well, it does help to have played four
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: games so far, but still great great player. Harvest Howell
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: just a sophomore from Lyndon Christian. Him and his brother
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Oak Howe, who is a senior for Lyndon Christian. It's
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: a great combination because you know they've assisted on each
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: other's goals. And but right now, Harvest Howell kind of
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: leading the pack there with four goals.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Harvest and Oak that's a couple of cool names right there, Like,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: like what am I trying to like non traditional names

  Speaker 1: I feel like this is one of those sports where
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: it's like we kind of know where these teams are
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: gonna be there's gonna be some battles here or there,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: but so far, maybe a surprise or two that I
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: see here. The rest of it seems to kind of
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: be some of the teams we expected.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's true. That's kind of how I see
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: it as well. A lot of rainouts and things getting moved.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: So kind of surprised Linden's been able to get in
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: five games and they have, and they've also won a
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: conference game by beating Lynden Christian four to three. Really
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: good game. I was at that one. Linden Christian. Kind
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: of surprised that they're zero and three at the moment.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: That's a really really talented team, but they've played really
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: talented teams as well. You know, Linden being one and four,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: that's that's a little surprising. But they had to replace
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of players to graduation. They do have some
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: key players, but they just got to get that to jail,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: so you know, and it'll it'll happen. Mount Baker two
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: and two. You know, the two that they've lost, they've
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: scored double digit runs in those games. So you know,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: the the what's been happening with there with that team
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: is is they have three brand new players in the outfield,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: and so once they kind of get that shirt short up,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: it's gonna help their defense a little bit because there's
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: no other really weakness to that team right now. If
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I tell you what, those new outfitters, they're really hitting
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: really well, so you know, they're able to score a
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: lot of runs playing only get able to play just
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: the one game that was against Orchest Island and Nuksack
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Valley looking really good at two and oh so not yeah,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: not a ton. I mean it's super early. There's been
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of struggling against non walkin county teams, so
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: if you look overall, it's probably a you know, very
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: much sub five hundred record between all the teams combined.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see, well, we'll start to see
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: some teams start to you know, break out and do
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: some good things. But I'm really really excited actually from
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: all of the teams, I saw, the one that kind
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: of made me feel pretty good and maybe kind of
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: already think, Wow, they're better than I thought they were
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: going to be even at this point was Nuksack Valley.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: They always score, I mean, that's the offense has never
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: been a problem. They've they've had a little bit of
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: issues with pitching and defense the last few years. But man,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: it's uh, it was like night and day. You know this,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: this this from what I've seen this past week. So
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: if they get those things going the Knooksack Valley all
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know again, with that, how many
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: births is it going to be in the one day? Now,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: they're gonna start pushing too. So in Nuksack Valley, like
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: they're they're an intimidating team. You've got some You've got
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: some big, strong girls that are you know, six feet tall,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: that are you know, walking off the bus looking like
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: a basketball team or a volleyball team. It's because these
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: girls they play basketball and volleyball and they they're intimidating
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: up at the plate and it's it's it's a fun
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: team to watch. So I'm looking for some good things
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: out of the Pioneers this year.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Uh, let's talk stat leaders, Tyler and uh, I feel
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: like you didn't. We didn't talk about this many last year.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: So You've got a lot of staff to talk about,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: which is fun because I'm a stats guy just like
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you are. Stats are brought to you by Mana Insurance.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: We mentioned them. They're also doing the scoreboards, but the
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: stat leaders. Yeah, Manna Insurancegroup dot Com. Tyler. I'm on
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: their website right now, and I decided to go to
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: the tab that says company, and it's got all these
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: faces and some of these names, Tyler, and I get
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: down to one and I see Blake Whitman. Yeah. I
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: click on his bio. Oh boy, and he's got some
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: stuff in here, and he says, in the falls, you'll
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: find me roaming the sidelines and practice fields at Lyndon
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: High School. Pretty sure, Tyler. He sits up in the booth.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Oh he's been on the sideline the last year and
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: a half.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, see, I haven't seen a game up there
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: in about a year and a half. Yeah. Now, the
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: one thing I don't see in this bio, Tyler, I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: don't see former walkcamb Preps Assistant Coach of the Year.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. I mean no love for the for
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the WALKAM Preps. Here on Blake Whitman's bio, which, by
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: the way, it says like my I So he wrote
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: it himself, so it wasn't anybody else leaving it out.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: It's him.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, A little disappointed.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna lie. That's all right, Tyler. We'll go
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: through this and I'll give you just a group of
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: stats and you can hammer it out kind of like
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: what we did.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Track and field.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, track and field, that's what I was thinking of.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: So let's go with kind of some of the hitting here.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: How about we go with hits, doubles and triples, Tyler.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, Sarah Krusich of Seahome has eleven hits,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: which is just an outrageous number in playing four games
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: so far, She's she leads in doubles. Zeta Haynes of
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker has four doubles on the year. And how
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: about this, Sarah Krugs. Out of her eleven hits, she
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: has three triples already to lead. I saw one of them.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: That was a game against Hawkinson. Actually that was in
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the first game of the year. And she's just got
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: a really quick bat and can get around the bases
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: very very well.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what, you gotta be really cooking
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: in fast pitch because shorter fences, I mean yeah. Was
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: that was that a home game or it.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Was, but it was played at Squalicum, so so Hawkinson
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: played a doubleheader. They played they played them and then
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: see home but.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Still on turf. So the balls probably is like getting
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: their fast and then just hanging out, you know what
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, that's that's pretty impressive. Three early
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: on is very impressive. Let's go how about home runs
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: and batting average? Tyler, Yeah, home runs.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Right now, we have a trio of players each that
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: I've had two home runs already. Carl Welters and Gracie
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Zender of Mount Baker each have two home runs and
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: they both hit both of them in the same game
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: against Lakewood. And then Tia Vanderkoyd, the leadoff hitter for
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Linny Christian. She's hit a home run in the first
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: two games and then I thought she was gonna hit
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: one in the third one, but she got a double.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, she is a home run in
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: three consecutive games. That'd really be something. But she had
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: a double in that one. So she has a consecutive
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: games hitting streak with extra base hits. But she does
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: have two home runs on the year along with Welters
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: and Zender.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: And Welters and Zender are the same team.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they both played for Mount Baker. Picture and catcher.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, so a little Brett Boone, Mike Cameron action. Huh yeah,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: exactly runs each in the same.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Game against against the White Sox. I want to say
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: that was May fourth, two thousand and two.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just crazy that you like, I'm gonna go
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: look it up, by the way, but yeah, that's I mean,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. Four home runs, uh, in the one game
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: by just two people. Let's see, how about runs batted
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: in and runs Tyler?
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, runs batted in so far. Well, we didn't talk
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: batting average unless you want to get to that.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: I said batting average, but you just didn't give it
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Oh oh with the home runs. That's right.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Well, then let's go batting average, runs batted in and runs.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, batting average. H And again, you have to have
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of plate appearances to this point to qualify,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: and I can't remember exactly what it might be, like
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: eight or something like that because it's early. But Sarah
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: kruisis right now batting six eighty eight for sea home
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: She does also leading RBI's was seventeen, and that's probably
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: the most ridiculous number out of all these that she
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: already has seventeen. RBIs in four games and she's averaging
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: over four RBIs a game. It's crazy, really really impressive.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: And then and run run scored. We have a bunch
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: of players that have scored eight runs so far. So
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: you have Vanessa Anderson and Jordan Walker of Seahome, and
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: then Mount Baker has a handful of players. Carl Welters,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Gracie Zender, Alyssadroco, and Jaden Hoffman have all scored eight
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: runs each for the Mountaineers.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: What did you say the date was on that that
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Mariners game?
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, May fourth, two thousand.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: And two, May second, two The fact that you were
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: even that close is still just ridiculous.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Though. Well, I do remember very well that we were
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: playing our we were playing a slow pitch softball game
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: that that night, and we kept hearing about it on
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: the radio, and it was just that was when Cameron
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: hit the four home runs, right, but him and Boone
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: had the double back to back some in the same
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: inning or something like that.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's the guy I think it was. Jim Park
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: gave up like four home runs himself.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Jim Park.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Why I know that, Like I remember he was in
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: that one because they brought it. They brought him in,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: and I remember something about like he was really mad
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: after the game because at some point they just left
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: him in. Yeah right, They're like, hey, somebody's got to
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: take the lumps. Like so, yeah, here you go, Jimmy
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: and just boom boom boom boom boom. Okay, let's see here.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Stolen bases and walks.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Tyler, Yeah, stolen bases so far. Eton Johnson of Bellingham
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: she has six stolen bases, the catcher and then walks.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Greta Watson of Seaholme has walked six times as well,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: So both with six leading the county.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: We've got slugging percentage, on base percentage and on base
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: plus slugging percentage, and Tyler, you can just give me
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: one name for all three? How about that?
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: How do you? How do you like that?
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Gracie Zender of Mount Baker leads in all three. So
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: and that's that is pretty impressive. Slugging percentage a thirteen
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: oh eight slugond percentage on base percentage at seven thirty seven,
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: so she's basically getting on base three out of four times,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: and then obviously ops if she leads them both, she
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: has to lead in this an ops of over two
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: thousand at twenty forty five. We've talked about in baseball,
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: if it's over one thousand, you are a super duper
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: star player. And then in fast pitch, it's kind of
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: like fifteen hundred. If you hit that, you're a super
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: duper star player. And she's over two thousand right now,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: so a great, great start for the senior catcher from
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: the Mountaineers.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like video game stuff on like easy mode, right,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I'm gonna play MLB
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: the Show and put it on rookie and then you're
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: just out there just smacking home run after home run.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness. Let's talk about the pitching stats here, Tyler.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: We've got wins, we've got innings pitch, we've got strikeouts,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: and we've got e r A.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For wins, it's Carl Welters of Mount Baker. She's
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: already picked up a pair of wins and Mount Baker
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: is two and two on the year. The losses have
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: gone to other players actually, and then for innings pitched,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Callie Rammerman of Lindon has pitched twenty four innings so
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: far and getting the job done there. I mean, that
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: is that's you know, it's tough to do strikeouts. Sarah
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: Kruzich has forty three strikeouts so far on the season,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: so obviously, you know, it's not just getting it done,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you know at the plate and running around the bases
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: and all that. She's all. She's obviously doing well in
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: the circle as well. And then e Erra is a
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Lena and I gonna butcher this last name because she's
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: just a freshman and I haven't seen her enough, but
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: van Iperian and she's a player that I saw in person,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: and she she hasn't started a game, but she'll come
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: in and pitch a few innings here and there, and
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: she does have just enough innings to qualify to leading
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: e Ra. But she's just a freshman, and she is impressive.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Just seeing the looks on the batter's faces after a
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: swing and miss that like you could see their look
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: go whoa, Like they just haven't seen that before. So
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: I am really excited about her future. They do have
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: other pictures Peyton Bartell Keston wager. They both have the
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: wins for Knucksack Valley. But she comes in and she
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: she'll pitch the final few innings of games. So she
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: does a great job leading right now a three point
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: five zero e R for Knucksack Valley. Yeah.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start with that last name, Tyler.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I remember some of that. I remember that
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: last name back in the day, and and I've heard
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: it a few times. I just need to hear it again.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Van I Pierian, I believe something like that, And I
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: could be way off, but I don't think.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: It could be peery In because it's just p E
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: r e n right right, So Pieren van Iy Pieren Venipe.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't even know. Somebody else
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: on that team. Yeah, somebody else on that team needs
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: to walk up to her with their phone, record her
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: saying in the name and direct messages on over to Tyler.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: That's what needs to happen, Tyler. That'd be awesome.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: That was like when I was at volleyball practice in
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: front of the whole team and I say, Hayden, can
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: you please say your name? And she's like, Hayden Nevadomski yep,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: And I was like perfect, And the thing is now
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: it's in my head now.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And as soon as you said Hayden, I immediately
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: said in my head, Nevadomski, because all I gotta do
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: is hear it three or four times and and I
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: won't make a mistake. I just won't.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's the type and Hayden's the type of
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: player where we're gonna mention the name a lot, and
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: it sounds like it's gonna be the same for Elena,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: So I do want to get it right. And even
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: like after the game happened, like they're on the Game
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Changer app but it just said like number nine. She
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't even in Game Change, so I didn't even know
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: her name at the time when I was not ready
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: to write the story and I had to. I had
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: to message elenadikster who's the catcher and be like, uh,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: what's the name of that freshman picture that came in?
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: And dah da da da, and she's like, you know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: she told me and I was like, okay, great, thanks,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: And then as I was writing the story, then they
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: it did eventually get added to.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: To game Game Changer, but.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's like that's how fresh it is,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: and that we talked about that in the Fast Pitch preview.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Was there's gonna be a group of players that I
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: have no clue about that are gonna we're gonna talk
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: about in the first few weeks that I'm gonna be like,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna start developing these new favorites, and
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is a new player that
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: I love watching and so and it's it's gonna be fun.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun. And I love
• 56:19

• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Pitch is a sport where you can come right in
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: and if you know, if you've been playing some club
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: like she played, Elena plays on the Walcome Wolverines, so

• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the Player of the Week for Fast Pitch as well,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: and uh, I mean, I would say it probably comes

• 56:48
  Speaker 1: we mentioned her name five times just in the stats
• 56:52

• 57:59
  Speaker 2: just busy and they're kind of jam packed little shop
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: on Ferndale on Main Street, but they're gonna be moving
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: to a much bigger place, I believe in Bellingham. So
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: that's that's really exciting. I think it'll happen in the
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: summer at the latest, so it's gonna be pretty soon.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: So but that'll be great when they can expand a

• 58:53
  Speaker 1: and I was thinking about it. You remember when you
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: got that whole thing of like was it raspberries or something. Yeah,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: I think you need to get a whole thing of potatoes.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Somebody needs to drop you off a bunch of potatoes.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: You can just chew on them. You don't even need
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: to cook them, Tyler, just chew them like it's an apple.
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Standing's brought to you by Acceleration Driving School and Lyndon.
• 59:13

• 59:16
  Speaker 1: four six four five six seven. They do sponsor the standings,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about the standings, Tyler, and I'll just
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: run right down it again. Blaine they are three and
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: oh on the season, Sea Home three and one, Lennon
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Christian three and one, Ferndale two and two, Mount Baker
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: one and two, Meridian one in two, Lyndon one and four.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley they are oh and three, and then squal
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: Come and Bellingham they are also looking for their first Wednesday,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: are both oh and four. Kind of a couple of
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: teams near the top that maybe we expected but maybe
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: didn't necessarily expect them to come out hot, you know
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: the way they are. But it's kind of cool seeing
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: teams like Blaine and Seahome near the top here.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Blaine starting off great. They got one game in
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: early or somewhat earlier. Then they played a doubleheader on Saturday.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: The coach was showing me pictures before they before the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: second game on Saturday of the night before when there
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: was just you know you're gonna swim at third base.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: They got out there at seven thirty in the morning
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: and completely redid the field, all the diamond dry and
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: everything and got everything off and the field looked great.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: They were able to get a couple of games in
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: and over these three games they've only allowed three runs.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Blaine's looking really really sharp right now. Offense, defense, pitching,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: everything's coming together. And then their star players, their catcher.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: And I always love a baseball team when your catcher
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: is like your best player because that just goes such
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: a long way. And I think that's a great thing
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: for Blaine. With Evan Yates see home, I love it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: And I you know, I don't want to say I
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: called it or anything, but I really, I really thought
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: they would be the big turnaround team this year. The
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: biggest thing I've noticed was last year they lost a
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: lot of games, like three to two, four to three,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: like a lot. It always seems like they were right there.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: They just couldn't get over the hump.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: That's the field steel like theory, right Like, you lose
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: games by you know, very close numbers, and you return
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys the next year, you should be
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: very improved.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and and that's exactly right. I love Phil Steele.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Mean who doesn't, right, But that's been the big thing
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: is now they're winning these close games. They beat Meridian,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: which was great because Meridian is a very talented team,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: and they're beating these teams and they're getting them by
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: just a little bit. Their only loss all year was
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: a walk off to Lyndon Christian who's also three and one,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: and they're one loss coming to Cedar Park Christian, a
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: very very talented team. So so yeah, those those three
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: schools have really separated themselves. Ferndale at two and two
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: have played a pretty tough schedule. They lost to Snohomish,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: they lost one game to Ellensburg. They beat Ellensburg, they
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: played a doubleheader against them on Saturday. And they're scoring
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot a lot of runs right now.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: They'll get things figured out. They do have some really
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: good pitching and I think it'll all kind of mix
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: in together well. But right now two and two in
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: the season, Mount Baker one and two. They got to
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: win in a crazy cold, wintery game down at Mount
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Vernon Christian. It was fifteen to twelve where they won
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: that game. There was I don't know combined how many
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: walks and hit batsmen. It was crazy. And I was
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: trying to get the book from that game from coaches.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get a hold of anybody. I actually found
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: the Baker coach and the Mount Vernon Christian coach later
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: on in the week to take snapshots of their book
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: that was all rained on and soggy, I mean, because
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: that game was just nuts and it was one of
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: those back and forth is just crazy. So great to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: see them get a win there. Early. They've they've struggled
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit, losing to Friday Harbor and Lyndon Christian
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Meridian at one and two right now, which is which
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: is kind of strange, but getting the getting a big
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: win over I think it was Coopville. But they lost
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: to Abbotsford out of Canada, and then and then and
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: losing that close ones to Sea Home Linden being one
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: and four is is just weird to see, you know,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: it's just kind of it's like, huh, But it's a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: lot like the pitch team where they graduated a ton
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: of guys with a lot of varsty experience and as
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: and uh. And also the Linden Baseball team is really
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: they really top load their their their schedule. They were
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: down in Ridgefield. Uh now what they do about this
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: time every year They go down there and play get
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: get three games in and you.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: Know, it was lots of we're down there. I've been
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: seeing a lot of stuff. Yeah.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, five North Kitsap and Columbia River. They lost all
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: three of them. But you know, they beat Bellingham eight
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: eight eight, eight to zero, which was their first game
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: of the year. And it was kind of cool because
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: in seven innings they played, they had seven different pitchers
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: pitch an inning each and that's kind of like to say, Okay,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: you've all done it. You can all you can, you
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: can all do it. And that was kind of that
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: was kind of cool to see. Uh Nuksack Valley right
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: now still struggling to get their first win. They had
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: a closed one where they lost in a back off,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: which doesn't happen very often, but I would imagine it
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: happens a lot more in high school baseball than anywhere else,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: which is a tough way to lose it. Squalk them
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: very very very young team looking for their looking for
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: their first win. They did score a few runs against Ferndale,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: but Uh, it's been a tough go since then. And
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: uh and Bellingham, that one kind of shocks me a
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: little bit being zero to four. Uh, they have some
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: pretty good talent on that team, and there the wins
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: will come around. Uh. The offense has just really been
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: struggling as of late. I mean they've had, you know,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: multiple games with just one hit or so, and and uh,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: that will start to turn around. And right now, baseball overall,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: like it's early. The weather's weird, weird things are going
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: to happen. Uh, they're playing some tough teams out of conference,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: so h but you know it'll all kind of equal
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: out after a while. But right now it's early, and
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: and it's just fun to go out and you know,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: here the here the chatter, and hear the glove snap
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: and the crack of the bat all that stuff. It's
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: just fun to just witness it again. And and for
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: those of you, a lot of you know, I mean, yeah,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: I love covering high school football and that's great, But
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: as a game, as an actual sport, baseball is my
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: first love. It's it is my favorite sport. So it's
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: just I get these I get it's just fun to
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: just go out and see all these athletes and do
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: what they love to do.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's kind of the same thing for me,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Like high school football is probably like my favorite sport
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: just overall, but like as a whole, baseball is like
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: I love baseball.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just as a game, Like I love the game,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: I love the idea of the game. Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Like like I love baseball at like all levels. I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: watch college baseball. I watch if there's like a random
• 1:05:33

• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I don't even know the names, you know what I mean,
• 1:05:39

• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it. I don't even know anybody on
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: either of those two teams. Yeah, you know, like I
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: don't find myself watching college football nearly as much. I
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: don't find myself watching the NFL nearly as much, but
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: like baseball, Yeah, I mean I'll watch any It's just
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, hockey is kind of the same way for

• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I was watching like Tier five Norwegian hockey, going, why

  Speaker 1: guy around the world watching Tier five between Oslo juniors
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: and I don't even know. Uh. Let's talk that is standings, Tyler.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in Lyndon. Let's
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: talk about stat leaders.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: This is brought to you by j e KK Sports
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Cards again j e kkcards dot Com.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Let's go with the the hits, the doubles and the triples, Tyler.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right now. Hits is Trey Alexander of Meridian, great
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: leadoff hitter from the left side, knows how to get
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: on great bloodlines. He's he's starting out really, really well,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: with seven hits already on the young season in just
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: three games. In doubles, Austin Angles of Lyndon Christian, no
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: surprise there, he has three, but he's tired. He's tied
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: with Ferndale first baseman Carson Brown, who's really got off
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: to a great start. He also has three doubles. And
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: in triples, there's a handful of players that have one triple.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: Once someone hits that second one, boom, you're getting on
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: this stop scoreboard.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or this lead leaderboard, I should say, unless everybody
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: goes and hits one. This next week, then it's gonna
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: be multiple two. Now in the reverse of that, there's
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: nobody that's hit a home run yet, Tyler.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of you know, a little bit surprising, I guess,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: but you know baseball and with the weather early, you
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: kind of expect that. But you know it'll start happening.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: There's been there. There are some guys that can really
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: really get around with that bat, and so I'm excited
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: to see who's gonna start. I mean, I would imagine
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: Austin Engles will he'll hit. He'll hit some coming up
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: here in a little bit. And there's some other guys
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: too as well.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got that real thick marine layer air, you
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: know what I mean up there in bellinghim or the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: in walking kunty right, as though I know what I'm
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: talking about, you know, Tyler, what we should do? I
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: don't know why we with all these sports being outdoors
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: right now and the and the weather being crazy, how
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: come Randy Small isn't on doing a five day forecast?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: Oh man, that guy is so busy. I don't know bother.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: We don't want to give him any ideas either. Let's talk.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: How about we'll clump the next ones together we'll go
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: batting average, runs batted in and runs.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, batting average right now and it you know, just
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: with enough at bats to qualify. But Trey Alexander batting
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: seven seventy eight, he's been a tough out so far
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: again just you know it. He came in as a
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: freshman last year and they it felt like, I don't
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: know if they put a lot of pressure on him,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: but right away he was battle lead off and playing
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: shortstop as a freshman, and he got into a kind
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: of a slump. He ended up playing some center field,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: batting ninth sometimes he wasn't starting. But this year he's
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: playing second base, leading off, and it's and it's it's
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: going really well for him so far, and so I
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: think that he's got a lot more confidence and he's
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: a heck of an athlete. RBIs I said his name earlier.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Carson Brown of Ferndale really having a breakout year so
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: far with eight RBIs so far in just the four games.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: You know, big first first baseman. Love to see that,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: and then in runs scored. Aaron Garza of Blaine, the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: leadoff hitter, and Braylan O'Brien, a Ferndale leadoff hitter, Both
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: shortstops each have seven runs scored so far. And uh,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: and you know, Garza is only played in three games.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: O'Brien is played in four games, so seven runs scored.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: That is. That is getting on base and letting your
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: guys do the work.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: After that, the next two are about moving your legs here,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: stolen bases and walks Tyler, which is it's kind of
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: funny too because the one right before it is runs,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: but that has nothing to do with actually like running.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: I mean it does, but it's not like, yeah, but
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: it's not like a it's not like a running stat,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, whereas stolen bases and well,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: I guess walks isn't really a running stat. It's a
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: walking stat. But but yeah, how about stolen bases and walks.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: Tyler, Yeah, right now, stolen bases Jackson Houlliott of Lyndon
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Christian was six, which is pretty impressive because I think
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: he missed the first game of the year. And and walks.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: It's Braylan O'Brien a Ferndale with six, tied with Braiden
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: or Tees of Squalicum. They each have six walks on
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: this young season.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Slugging percentage on base percentage on base plus slugging, just
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: like in fast pitch. We've got one name.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happening again, Trey Alexander slugging eleven eleven, which
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: is a big time number. But when your batting average
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: is that high, and that goes pretty well. And I
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: think I did see that double that he hit to
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: make a second percentage, and it was to lead off
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: the season. Basically he was the first batter of the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: year and he just left handed hitter, just hit kind
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: of a fly ball right over third base and it
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: had that spin on it where it lanted just fair
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: and then went deep into foul territory and he wheeled
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: around and got a double. So that helps. On base
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: percentage eight thirty three. It's a crazy on Brase percentage,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: and you combine it together nineteen forty four on base
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: plus slugging the ops number. So right now, offensively, Trey
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Alexander doing quite well for the Meridy and Trojans.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: The pitching stats, we've got wins, innings, pitch, strikeouts, and
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: eer a.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these numbers are going to be a lot different
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: than fast pitch because in fast pitch you can just
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: throw the same pitcher out there over and over again,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: so in wins. Hudson nef for Seahom does already have
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: two wins on the year, which is which is pretty
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: incredible to see an innings pitched, especially in baseball, you
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: don't really want to throw your throw people out there
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: too much too early. You might give him a fifty
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: pitch count limit something like that early on in the season.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: But right now ky Nelson and Hudson Johnson ky Nelson
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: of Bellingham Hudson Johnson of Squalicum, they've each pitched nine innings,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: which makes sense when both teams have each played four games,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: so they were able to get multiple appearances out there
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: already and strikeouts. Josh Cochran of Blaine, the sophomore Southpaw
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Holy Cow. I saw him pitch on Saturday. That kid
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: can bring it. I'm not saying that he's Jonah Ossi,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: but there's a lot of similarities from what I saw
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: from Ossi when he was a sophomore. He went out there,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: he struck out fourteen batters in six innings against Mount
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Vernon Christian and that was really really impressive to see.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: And in e r RA it's a freshman from Seahome
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: I love this name, Jad Geiger, and he right now
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: has a zero E RRA and I believe he's throwing
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: like seven innings so far in multiple games still has
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: not allowed an earned run, So very impressive for the
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Mariner freshman.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: I have to say, Tyler Jad is a name I've
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: never heard. Awesome. Yeah, I don't know another Jad.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: When I went to Seaholmes first game against Meridian and
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't have the roster with me, and I didn't know.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: I knew they had a lot of freshmen, but I
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: didn't know any of the names obviously, and I heard
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: the PA announcer h say his name a few times
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: and I kept thinking his name's Chad Geiger, but the
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: way he was saying it, it was like he's kind of
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: lazy with the Chad.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: He's like he's.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Jad gag yeah, And I'm like, I'm like, is his
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: name is not Jad? I don't think And then I
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: got on Game Changer and yes it is. So I
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: love it. It's pretty cool.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: We have a We have a Ryland excuse me, I
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: said that wrong. We have a right in on on
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: our baseball team, and every time our coach screams his
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: name for anything good or bad. I always turn my
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: head and I go, oh, yeah, what am I doing?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: Why would he be yelling at me about dropping a
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: ball or you know? Or he I think he had
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: two hits on Saturday, and it's like, I'm sure both
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: times he was yelling about it, and yeah, well that's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: here I am. I think I'm doing a good job right.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: Growing up, all through football and baseball. Growing up, there
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: was another kid in my grade on our team for
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: every team, and his name was right and every I
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: mean it was you know, Writer and Tyler from far
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: Away sound identical, and and so my coaches just started
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: calling me tie after that. But and he was such
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: a better athlete than I was that I knew if
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: they yelled at it was they were talking to me.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: They weren't talking to him. So I didn't have to
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: worry about too much. But sometimes it'd be like good.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: Play, Writer, and I'm like you thanks, man, You're like
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: You're like I didn't even kick the ball.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of times he was playing third and I
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: was playing left. Like that happened a lot. He took
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: over for me at quarterback one point, so it was
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: just kind of a weird, you know, But and we
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: always ran against each other in the forty because because
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: we were about the same speed, so it was fun
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: because we it made us try to run faster too.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: So two steps for every one of ours.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Tyler, Let's talk about the player of the week, and
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: that is brought to you by SIG's Funeral and Cremation
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: Services eight zero nine West Orchard Drive, Sweet two in Bellingham.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Give them a call. Three six zero six five six
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: five four five nine Sid's Funeral and Cremation Services again
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: back again this year. Tyler sponsored last year, so good
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: to see them back. Who is the player of the
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: week in baseball?
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: This was pretty tough, actually, because I was looking around
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of great individual performances. There's some
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: great teams success. But what I saw with my own
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: two eyes with Josh Cochran at Blaine, that really cemented
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: it for me. And it hasn't It wasn't just that. Yeah,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: he went six innings and struck out fourteen and had
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: a great, great win. But he's batting in the two hole,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: he's doing doing really really well. He's getting on base
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: more than half a time as well, so left handed hitter.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: So there are some good things offensively as well. So
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: it's very much like Sarah Kruzich on the fast pitch
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: side doing offensively and as a pitcher. So congratulations to
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: Josh Cochran, the Blaine sophomore. He's your SIG's Funeral and
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: Cremation Services Player of the Week. Tyler. That is it.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: We're at the end of the show sheet for the week.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that. I mean it was it was
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: kind of a crazy week because kind of getting used
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: to everything again, you know, going and seeing every single
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: sport except for tennis, which I tried twice, and I
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: just you know, rain just keeps coming at me. But
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: watching some golf, watching the track and field was awesome.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: I love going to track and field events. There's so
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: many things going on at once, and he's just everywhere
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: you look, you know, and and it's just I don't know,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: it's just so much fun hearing the chatter and the
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: dugouts for fast pitch and baseball and and you know,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: the you know, the chance for fast pitch are awesome.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: And going out to boys soccer again. You know, they
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: got the day games out at Linden and Lynden Christian,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: you got the night games out at the city schools
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: and Ferndale Meridian because they've got the lights and the
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: day games out at Nooksack. I mean, it's just I
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's awesome. I it's a fun, fun time
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: of the year. The weather should be kidding better, so
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: I hear and yeah, and then all of a sudden
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: you look up and the you know, the Major League
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: Baseball season is about ready to start, and they've already
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: played some games over in Japan, and uh so it's
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: it's just it's a fun, fun time of year. I
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people love it because of March madness,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: which I do toube. I just I don't have the
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: time to pay attention to it anymore. I haven't done
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: a bracket since walking preps really took off years ago,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: and and uh but even then, it's just a there's
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: just a lot of cool spring eternal hope type feelings,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: you know, and all that crap. So, uh, it's it's
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: so much fun, and I'm excited to see where these
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: teams go. It's fun to get a quick glimpse of
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: everybody and then kind of develop your own thoughts about
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: what could happen, and then just kind of seeing how
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: it all happened, because once it gets to that that
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: weekend before the Memorial Day, Yeah, there's just so much
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: state going on. I mean it is boom boom boom
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: boom b I just it's constant. You know. It's like
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: if I'm not at a game, I'm watching a game
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: on NFHS and there's tennis going on, and you know,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: the Bellingham girls tennis has a really good chance of
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: doing something. I mean, there's so many fun things and
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: it's just it's just it's gonna be great. I can't wait.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you didn't notice, Tyler, this year, the
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: state championships and a couple of sports go.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: After Memorial Day, I did not notice that. Yeah, it's
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: baking up a little bit. I don't know.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly all the sports, but baseball I
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: know is being played. The state championship game is being
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: played on my birthday, which is a Saturday this year,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: meaning the Memorial Day is the Monday.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: Before, right, your birthday is a last day of May.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, so I know there's some sports. I don't know
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: if it's all of them. I don't know exactly. I
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: remember seeing something about trying to split it up trying
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: to do like some on the weekend before.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very heavy. That weekend's very heavy, So I'm
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: not surprised and I'm glad they're doing it.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that would be I mean, that could potentially
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: be huge for you too. Maybe get out to a
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: couple of more things. Although baseball semi final or what
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: do you call it, quarterfinals in the first round of
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: the state tournament would be that week. So yeah, I mean, obviously,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: well we'll see how it goes down the line.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: But well, the cool thing is that the last few
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: years they've had the state championships at Joe Martin Field,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: and I haven't been able. I haven't gone because I've
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: gone to fast pitch and Mikayla goes, which is great.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: So I did actually go the year Linden was there.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: I drove, I watched, I covered a Blaine fast pitch
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: game in the morning in Richland, and came back for
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: the Linden baseball game that night. I did do that,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: but last last year I couldn't do it with Meridian playing,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: And so you know, if a team gets.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: Old Tyler, you're going to be very happy. Okay, go ahead,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: the fast pitches, the week before. Yeah, that's what I
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: was thinking, like the week before. Yeah, fast pitch is
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: the twenty third and twenty fourth, right, or well, actually
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I take that back. One A is the twenty second,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty fourth, right, and then twenty third and
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth for two.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: A and two as sila.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and then uh and then yeah baseball is
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: the next week awesome.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: So then so then my question becomes, Tyler, when is
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: when is track because that's kind of the other big
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: one as far as I'm hoping.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: It's when fast pitches because I'm already over there.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: It is not it is it is during baseball. Okay,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: twenty nine through thirty one. Yeah, it might be a
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: little tough to get over to some track or might
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: be tough to do some baseball.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have to figure that out. It'll be interesting. Yeah,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: although baseball would have.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: Well, let's see, it would be it would be three
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: A and four A. Three A and four A would
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: be is in Yakoma this year for baseball. So unless
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Ferndale makes a run, which you never know at this point,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, anybody is uh, anybody's good for a run here?
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: And then golf is a couple of days before Fast
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Pitch starts, and then uh, soccer, which I think we
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: feel confident maybe there's a soccer team that could make
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: a run here that would that would also be that
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: would also be the same weekend as as baseball, and
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: that would be one A, two A at Federal Way
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Memorial Stadium, which is brand new, by the way, and
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: absolutely gorgeous, Like they did a tremendous job at Federal
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: A Memorial Stadium. And then three A and four A
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: is a Spark Stadium down in So yeah, two two
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: big weekends. I mean, I know that's got to excite
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: you that fast Pitch and baseball are on different weekends.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, odds are good you'll be able to potentially
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: do both. So well, you definitely could do baseball if
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: if there's a if there's teams in it, you should
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: be able to be there, Tyler, So yeah, I think so,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: I think so. All right, Well let's wrap it up.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah again, thank you to all of the sponsors. There
