  This is Nuckzak Valley senior Kaylie Anderson, and you're listening to the Walkom Preps
• 0:03
  Podcast with Tyler and Ryland Rally the Valley. Greetings and welcome into the Watcome
• 0:24
  Preps Podcast. This is episode of two hundred and forty two Winter Sports Week.
• 0:29
  We wrap up for Monday, February seventeenth through Saturday, February twenty fourth.
• 0:34
  I'm Riley Spencer. Along with me as always is Tyler Anderson. What
• 0:39
  Come Preps? Tyler, how we doing doing great? Doing great? It
• 0:43
  was it was a weird week of sports, so there wasn't a ton but
• 0:47
  then a great weekend and looking forward to this upcoming week. Yeah, really
• 0:51
  saying Monday February seventeenth through Saturday, February twenty fourth. It's kind of a
• 0:56
  lie because it was really just two days, but I'm sorry, Yeah,
• 1:00
  but it's for the whole week, and the whole week basically consisted of two
• 1:03
  days. That being said, Tyler, we need to give a thank you
• 1:07
  to Kaylee Anderson of Nooksack Valley. Yeah. She, I mean, she
• 1:11
  had an awesome game. She yeah, but you got it right after Yeah,
• 1:15
  I got it right after the game. It never happens maybe thirty minutes
• 1:19
  after the game. It was we were having trouble locating the team, myself
• 1:23
  and Jim Carberry and Connor, Ben and Tende. We thought they were in
• 1:26
  the locker room and we were just sitting there talking for like fifteen minutes,
• 1:30
  and then we said, where where are they? Did they already go out
• 1:34
  to the bus and we we were able to track them down to interviews and
• 1:38
  yeah, I got the Uh, I got the I got the intro there
• 1:41
  right after the game, and she was happy to do it. And she
• 1:44
  buried four threes in that game. She's kind of their designated sharpshooter, and
• 1:49
  and yeah, it was good. I mean, if we're being completely honest,
• 1:53
  they weren't like I mean, they were avoiding Connor is what it was,
• 1:57
  right? No, But that's uh, yeah, it's funny you say
• 2:04
  that, because there's been a couple of times this year where you know,
• 2:07
  players from our teams had good days or whatever, and you know, a
• 2:09
  bunch of us are standing there waiting and then all of a sudden, it's
• 2:12
  like, wait, I'm pretty sure everybody's gone by this point, like what
• 2:16
  is going on here? But yeah, uh, let's see here, we
• 2:19
  need to give a thank you to Kurt Mayberry Farm. Kurt Maayberry Farm dot
• 2:22
  com is the website that they are a fourth generation, family owned and operated
• 2:25
  berry farm committed growing the highest quality of berries, strawberries, blueberries, and
• 2:30
  raspberries. You can find them at Kurt Mayberry Farm dot com. That's Kurt
• 2:34
  with a C, M, A B E R R y farm dot com.
• 2:38
  Tyler, I would assume that they got to be like in some planning
• 2:43
  stages or something here now right, Like they're like yet, but it's got
• 2:49
  to start, like they got to start getting seeds or something in right.
• 2:53
  Is that how that works? Und I don't even really know, but yeah,
• 2:54
  you know what we need to do. We need to do like a
• 2:57
  tour of the farm. Oh and they have a they have a full on
• 3:00
  baseball field. They're play a little catch. I don't know about that,
• 3:04
  but yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think we should do
• 3:07
  it. It'd be fun, Yeah, Tyler, we have a lot of
• 3:10
  stuff to talk about, just kidding. We don't have a whole lot to
• 3:13
  talk about because there's no wrestling and there is no swimming and dive, which
• 3:16
  by the way, is sponsored all year by Stuffer Insurance. You can find
• 3:21
  them at one nine zero three Front Street in Lindon, or you can find
• 3:24
  them by giving them a call three six zero seven four six eighty eight oh
• 3:28
  three. Stoffer Insurance proud sponsors of WACOM Preps and swimming and boys swimming and
• 3:34
  dive and coming up here, Tyler, they are sponsoring track and field right,
• 3:38
  Yes, they are. They're on. They're locked in for the spring
• 3:40
  season and it's gonna be awesome. There's gonna be you know, every event
• 3:46
  is gonna have info and there'll be like kind of like a weekly top five
• 3:49
  leader board throughout the county for all the boys and girls different events for track
• 3:53
  and field, and Stuffer Insurance is all over it. And by the way,
• 3:58
  Tyler, there's all kinds of others things that people can sponsor. And
• 4:00
  if they would like to sponsor stuff, how can they get a hold of
• 4:03
  you? Yeah, well, uh come come grab me at the t a
• 4:08
  coma Orma Dome, the Yakama Sun Dome. But uh that that's a really
• 4:13
  quick and easy way uh this upcoming week. Grab grab like say hi,
• 4:16
  like don't walk them and grab them by the arm or anything. Grab my
• 4:19
  w I a a smock that I'll be wearing. Yeah, okay, and
• 4:25
  uh yeah, but yeah, they get a hold of me through social media
• 4:29
  Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and just look for walking preps and send a message
• 4:32
  that way. And that's a that's a really quick and easy way. And
• 4:35
  and it's that it's a great time right now because people that are listening to
• 4:40
  this, uh, today's the first day of spring. Uh you know,
• 4:44
  turnout and everything, and and the weather might not be great for it,
• 4:47
  but uh, it's it's happening. I mean, it's happening quicker than you
• 4:50
  think. And and then bata boom baa bing here it is. So it's
• 4:55
  exciting. Yeah. I mean they're hearing this most likely on Monday, which
• 5:00
  means either later today or having started today spring sports, baseball tryouts, fast
• 5:09
  pitch tryouts. I mean there it's the schools that are not playing over in
• 5:14
  the sun Doome. All of those sports are already rolling and people are,
• 5:17
  you know, getting ready. The kids that are over there, they're just
• 5:20
  gonna jump right in and play. If they're playing a spring sport, they're
• 5:24
  gonna jump right in. They don't need to get all the twelve practices or
• 5:27
  whatever. It is they don't need to get those extra practices because it all
• 5:30
  kind of helps or like carries over. I guess is what it is,
• 5:33
  right, So yeah, I mean the spring sports are here, and Tyler,
• 5:40
  you and I talked about it, but I guess we can announce it.
• 5:43
  I guess we want to that We're gonna do like a fast Pitch and
• 5:46
  a baseball preview podcast this year. Yeah, you know, which is gonna
• 5:50
  be fun. Which, Hey, if you want to sponsor baseball, get
• 5:54
  in now, because that podcast will guarantee it's gonna pull good numbers because yeah,
• 5:58
  the football podcast goes. Yeah, those those previews are huge as far
• 6:02
  as the podcast goes, and and you're right it it really does pull in
• 6:08
  a lot. And having seen a lot of the teams last year, I
• 6:12
  feel pretty good about you know, what to expect for this year, and
• 6:15
  uh, it's gonna be a nice little wake up call to like, oh
• 6:18
  I remember this player. Oh I remember that this player. So I'm excited
• 6:21
  about that. And you never know, there could be some some new freshmen
• 6:26
  coming up that I have no clue about, but maybe I've seen them in
• 6:29
  other sports. So I'm really excited. It's gonna be it's gonna be a
• 6:31
  lot of fun and and uh, you know, truth be told. As
• 6:34
  far as just pure sports go, Baseball is my favorite sport. So I
• 6:40
  I just there's something about it with everything I could I could go. It's
• 6:44
  funny because I say, like I could go to a game every night,
• 6:46
  when in reality I will be so uh it's it's it's awesome. I can't
• 6:49
  wait. Yeah, And if you're a coach of fast pitch or baseball,
• 6:56
  or maybe you were best friends with the coach or something, if you let
• 7:00
  him know, hey, Tyler's gonna be getting ahold of you. Or hey,
• 7:04
  if you're a coach, reach out to Tyler and say, hey,
• 7:08
  what do you need from me? Because at this point, Tyler like,
• 7:11
  you know, look, and I'm just gonna throw it out there. Remember
• 7:14
  was it last year? Year before? Whenever it was Landon Hatchett did not
• 7:17
  play baseball senior year because he was already at Washington. So that's gonna happen.
• 7:23
  There's gonna be people that aren't gonna play. And you know, that's
• 7:26
  information that we need so that when we do a preview podcast, we can
• 7:29
  be ready to go. So there's gonna need to be some communication and if
• 7:33
  they want to reach out to you first, I think that's something that would
• 7:36
  make life a little bit easier. So if that happens, it happens.
• 7:41
  But but yeah, we've got all kinds of stuff to talk about, Tyler.
• 7:45
  Yeah, we've got boys and girls basketball here. Before we go there,
• 7:48
  though, we do need to talk a little football news and maybe we
• 7:53
  miss some stuff. This is just a couple of things that you and I
• 7:55
  saw over the last week that we want to throw out there. Alex Malow
• 8:00
  malt Baker committed to Montana Western. Tyler, Uh, I think he knows
• 8:05
  somebody over there right. Yeah, playing with with Ethan Larson over the years,
• 8:11
  and it's a it's a really really cool deal. Uh, they're gonna
• 8:13
  be playing together now in college and and that's a that's a really cool and
• 8:18
  it's funny you mentioned about Landon Hatchet uh not being able to play baseball senior
• 8:22
  year because he'd already gone down to u dub Ethan Larson and Alex Mololi last
• 8:26
  year both there were they were both baseball players and they both did track instead
• 8:33
  last year, So you kind of sometimes players they switched sports and knowing that
• 8:37
  maybe that can help them at the next level. For for football. I
• 8:41
  think they both watched what Davin Beeson did the year before. He was a
• 8:45
  three year baseball guy at varsity guy, and he goes and does track,
• 8:48
  he wins state in a couple events, and helps him for college football.
• 8:52
  So so yeah, and that's school example, though, Tyler, is exactly
• 8:56
  what you said is like if you didn't like and I'm not saying you didn't
• 9:00
  know this, but if we were doing a preview podcast and you started talking
• 9:03
  about Molowly and and and Ethan Larson and then oh, they're not doing it.
• 9:11
  Yeah, exactly. So we're going to do our homework because that's kind
• 9:15
  of what we do. We don't do it real well, but we're going
• 9:16
  to do our homework on this. But what what my whole bringing it up
• 9:22
  was about the idea of like, hey, if you're the if you're a
• 9:24
  high school coach over there and you listen to the podcast, or if you
• 9:26
  know your brother in law is the high school coach or something, let him
• 9:30
  know, because let them know that we're doing it because we want to give
• 9:33
  more exposure to the high school athletes and the teams of Wakam County. And
• 9:37
  we want to do it right, and so if we can be helped out
• 9:41
  along the way, that makes our job just a little bit easier. We
• 9:46
  also need to mention Bishop Utzi, quarterback defensive back over there at Ferndale,
• 9:52
  offered by Whitworth. He had been offered by PLU a little bit earlier.
• 9:56
  But yeah, I mean Whitworth has done a t tremendous job in the state
• 10:01
  of Washington. They were the champions of the I believe it's called the Northwest
• 10:05
  Conference, right, the NWC, I think it is, which is kind
• 10:07
  of funny when you think about it. But but but yeah, they were
• 10:11
  the champions of that league. Last year. They ended up going down and
• 10:13
  beating or maybe they beat them at home. I think it was on the
• 10:16
  road though, beating Linfield last year. And then I believe they won a
• 10:20
  game in the the D three National Tournament, whatever the heck it's called.
• 10:26
  I almost had state tournament D three playoffs. I guess it's playoffs anyway.
• 10:35
  Yeah, Whitworth and PLU for Bishop Bootsy. Again, these are just two
• 10:41
  things that we saw. If there's other things going on, kids getting offers,
• 10:45
  committed, stuff like that, shoot it our way. If we don't
• 10:48
  see it, or if you're an athlete, tag us on social media,
• 10:52
  because we will absolutely mention you in our you know podcast going forward. I
• 10:58
  mean, it is kind of and this isn't just football either, this could
• 11:01
  be all sports. I mean, in any sport, it doesn't matter.
• 11:05
  It is kind of funny, Tyler. I was just thinking about it the
• 11:07
  other day. Winter Sports Weekly wrap up we only got what like one more
• 11:11
  of them. Yeah, and then it becomes the Spring Sports Weekly wrap up.
• 11:16
  Yeah, there will be an all they do. They've been doing it
• 11:18
  since like the late eighties. There's there's an all Star game for basketball boys
• 11:22
  and girls game and they have a three point contest, slam dunk contest,
• 11:26
  and it's just seniors only. And it was cool because I was asked,
• 11:31
  you know, with other media members to to kind of vote on which players
• 11:37
  should be you know, we all voted and you know what players should be
• 11:41
  playing, and they were not you know, seniors were nominated by their coaches
• 11:43
  and we go from there. So I'm really excited about that. So that
• 11:46
  that's usually the Friday after State, so I'm guessing it's gonna be March eighth,
• 11:52
  so so yeah, we'll we'll be able to talk a little bit about
• 11:56
  that on the on the podcast after. But you're right, it's it's come
• 12:00
  into a close really fast. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, it's about
• 12:03
  to turn and the spring, the leaves are going to start growing, and
• 12:09
  it's gonna we're gonna have to get a forecas Hey Randy small weather forecasts.
• 12:16
  Yeah, I like it. I like it. I mean I hadn't even
• 12:18
  thought about this yet, Tyler. Now it's a little bit tougher though,
• 12:20
  because what we what are we gonna do? I have him do the whole
• 12:22
  week? Yeah, I don't know. I mean maybe we'll always have like
• 12:26
  a designated game of the week or something like that, or I don't know,
• 12:30
  we'll figure something Outeah, we're gonna have to figure something out there,
• 12:31
  because the thing is we already put it. You know, a little bit
• 12:35
  of stress on Randy to have him do Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and
• 12:37
  we have him do it on Tuesday. We're asking him to do it on
• 12:41
  Sunday. Yeah, it's a little bit tougher. I mean, granted he
• 12:45
  could do it. He could do it. Now, I don't know if
• 12:48
  I have enough space on my computer to take a file that big. I
• 12:50
  mean the guy would talk for probably thirty five minutes. But h and by
• 12:54
  the way, I saw that he's gonna be over in Yakama, right,
• 12:58
  yeah, he'll be there. Yeah, Yeah, that's gonna be awesome,
• 13:00
  Uh, Tyler. That being said, let's talk boys and girls basketball now
• 13:05
  before we get going, Tyler, I downloaded a song that I think,
• 13:11
  uh describes this past weekend of high school basketball in Wakam County. Are you
• 13:18
  ready to hear it? Yeah? All I do is we we no matter
• 13:24
  what, got money every time. Everybody all up and they stayed up.
• 13:41
  That's all it is, Tyler. All they do is win, win,
• 13:43
  win, and Wakam County Because we're gonna talk about six basketball games Wakam County
• 13:48
  undefeated. Yeah, it was. It was unreal. And the cool thing
• 13:54
  was is that, you know, they were all pretty close. I mean,
• 13:56
  you know, uh, four of them being played in Linden and two
• 14:01
  of them being played in Mount Vernon. I mean, it's too bad they
• 14:05
  kind of overlapped a little bit because I wasn't able to see the entirety of
• 14:09
  all the games, but I was able to, uh, you know,
• 14:13
  actually kind of be there for for for most of them. So uh yeah,
• 14:16
  it was a great, great weekend. It all went as according to
• 14:22
  Chuck as they say, so Walkin County did have the better seed in all
• 14:26
  the games, so they they they did take care of business. But there
• 14:28
  was some good There were some good close games. And did did you hit
• 14:33
  the big scoop? I know, I don't remember who it was who who
• 14:35
  messaged us with about it? Yeah, that was that was our buddy Joel
• 14:39
  Dwis Palaire, the coach we met at and uh he's the head baseball coach
• 14:43
  at Nuksack Valley and his assistant football coach. By the way, I wore
• 14:46
  the Knoksack Valley hat on Tuesday to the Lincoln Uh like Washington basketball game.
• 14:50
  Got a couple of looks and think people were confused. Yeah, uh,
• 14:54
  but yeah, I know it was I went there. I went there a
• 14:58
  couple of times, and I didn't go there this week. Yeah, I
• 15:03
  was going to go. I was gonna take miss Walking preps. She was
• 15:05
  really excited when she found out about the Sundays and everything, and but she
• 15:09
  just wasn't quite feeling up for it for a long drive and a long drive
• 15:15
  back. So but we're definitely going to try to go there at some point.
• 15:18
  I don't think the place is going anywhere anytime soon. So yeah,
• 15:20
  I think we're good. But it was great to get that text from Joel.
• 15:24
  And it was funny because it happened and I was in my car about
• 15:28
  ready to leave the Mount Vern and gym when when we got that text,
• 15:31
  and so I almost stopped in but I had to hurry up and get back
• 15:35
  home. So you should have. You should have ran in, paid the
• 15:37
  bill and left. Yeah, yeah, I got that. I think I
• 15:45
  was at a hockey game or I was doing the We had a charity thing
• 15:48
  going on this weekend, and so I was I don't remember exactly where I
• 15:52
  was, but I remember getting it and I saw it and I saw I
• 15:56
  saw the picture and then I saw you comment and I was like, I
• 16:00
  was like wait what. I was like, why is he sending me this?
• 16:03
  Like of course I know, and then I was like, oh,
• 16:04
  it wasn't him. Oh, I was like, which I think is hilarious.
• 16:10
  Now people are sending us pictures of the big scoop. Yeah, well,
• 16:12
  it was funny. It shows that he's a loyal listener, because it's
• 16:15
  true you had mentioned that in the podcast prior and then he stops there and
• 16:21
  does it. That was great. You gotta love the big scoop. I
• 16:23
  mean, there's really not many reasons to want to go to Mount Vernon,
• 16:29
  if I'm being honest here, that is definitely at the top of the list.
• 16:33
  Let's talk girls basketball though. Tyler girls basketball sponsored by Edilyn darry who
• 16:41
  there's a transition for you, Yeah exactly. Yeah. Well, hey,
• 16:45
  you know what, if you don't feel like leaving the county, go to
• 16:47
  Ediling there. But no, they big time sponsors. They do. They
• 16:52
  really appreciate watkom Preps and they love being a part of everything happen to do
• 16:57
  with Watcombe County High School athletics. The two A regional tournament Tyler Linden fifty
• 17:04
  nine. This just blows me away when I see their scores because of how
• 17:10
  good they are defensively. Linden fifty nine to twenty three over White River.
• 17:17
  Yeah. This was the one that I was not able to see, and
• 17:21
  so Mikayla was there and wrote the story. But I talked to some assistants
• 17:25
  the next day and it was really it was kind of sloppy early on.
• 17:30
  It was zero zero for quite a while and just turnovers and just kind of
• 17:36
  you know, maybe some little nerves and then Linden was up seven to nothing.
• 17:41
  White River kind of played catch up. But the second half, Lindon
• 17:45
  did their thing. You know, they started to kind of take over.
• 17:49
  Lexi Hermanut's had a really big game, and she's been a player that's kind
• 17:52
  of led, you know, eighth or ninth player off the bench, but
• 17:56
  she's slowly kind of moving playing more minutes the season's worn on. Just a
• 18:02
  freshman, but she's about five ten, and she was she she attacks the
• 18:06
  hoop and she'll she'll go to the foul line, she'll make her foul shots.
• 18:10
  And that was huge because it wasn't it wasn't one of those crazy games
• 18:14
  where they put up seventy or eighty and it was so you got and that's
• 18:18
  you know, what it takes when you get against when you're going against these
• 18:22
  better teams now and so uh so she really stepped up as a freshman and
• 18:27
  the rest of the team just kind of did did what they do. Kiki
• 18:30
  York is an amazing defensive player. Uh you know, Hailey Kochi is such
• 18:36
  a good athlete, you know, jumping, running, shooting, everything makes
• 18:40
  look easy. Peyton Mills and Finley Parcher are just dynamic and they're both going
• 18:45
  to be on the team for the next few years. Say they're both freshmen,
• 18:48
  so like, yeah, well Peyton Mills is a sophomore. Well oh
• 18:52
  yeah, no, I meant Herman and yeah Herman and Parter Yeah yeah yeah.
• 18:56
  Partcher leads the team in scoring, rebounds, assists, steals, and
• 18:59
  blocks and she's a freshman. Good lord, I mean, and and then
• 19:03
  and Tyler. I'm actually looking at the roster right now because I also recognize
• 19:07
  another name Bowler. Yeah. I assume there's a relation there. Yep,
• 19:11
  Yeah, I mean this is they're gonna be They're gonna be good. I
• 19:15
  mean, they're gonna be really good, aren't they. Yeah, they're they're
• 19:18
  They're fantastic. Coach Adams is such a great job. He knows he plays
• 19:22
  a lot of girls. And and it's and we've talked about that in Prayer
• 19:26
  Prayer podcast. I mean, it's almost like every time there's play resume,
• 19:30
  a player will go to check in when you have a six foot two Ryan
• 19:34
  Stephan coming off the bench, and that's just not fair, you know,
• 19:38
  It's that you don't see that a whole lot. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 19:41
  mean she's a great, great volleyball player and she's and she and she was
• 19:48
  perfect on on a Friday night. She I think she was four for four
• 19:52
  in the from the field and three from three for the line. You know,
• 19:56
  Mallory Villars is a great point guard. Uh, Klannie Newcomes an awesome
• 20:00
  three point shooter. She shoots over forty percent from threes. I mean,
• 20:03
  that's great at any level, as does Peyton Mills. She's over forty percent.
• 20:10
  It's at six foot two. I mean, it's it's crazy. It's
• 20:12
  and you said she's a sophomore, right, she's a she's a sophomore.
• 20:15
  Yeah, And it's it's a it's a great mix that they have right now.
• 20:22
  And uh and Rob Adams is the perfect coach for this roster and I
• 20:27
  and it's a you know, they're not going to be holding teams to single
• 20:32
  digits at the state tournament, but that it's still that really great pressure defense
• 20:38
  and and it's just hard to drive in into the paint. The team's gonna
• 20:42
  beat him. They have to make their outside shots. That's the that's the
• 20:45
  one big thing. But yeah, they're just they're just very good and they're
• 20:49
  hitting it right at this moment. Teller, you know how we talked about
• 20:52
  doing like pros versus Joe's and like going up against like the best baseball pitch.
• 20:57
  I want to go too on two you and me versus the two freshmen.
• 21:03
  Yeah, yeah, I don't want to. Well, no, I
• 21:04
  think we should do it. It'll be ugly, but I think you should
• 21:07
  do it. Oh man. Yeah, It's it's crazy because you know,
• 21:11
  Finley Parcher at six to one. You look at that rosterly I had it
• 21:15
  here. Uh yeah, first off, I yeah, that was actually the
• 21:18
  first thing I noticed. I was like, wait a minute. They're all
• 21:19
  listed as guards, and that's that's Rob Adams. He if you want to
• 21:25
  play for him, you got to be able to handle the ball, and
• 21:27
  and they all play like guards. It's it's it's serious. And Finley Parcher
• 21:33
  is she's the one who brings the ball up the most and she's six one.
• 21:37
  Yeah. Well, and then I'm looking at it here, Tyler.
• 21:40
  They've got three girls listed as over six feet tall. You've got Mills,
• 21:45
  Parcher and Stephan Yeah, and they're all it's or excuse me, sophomore,
• 21:51
  sophomore and freshman. Yeah, I mean, come on, like, what
• 21:56
  are we talking about here like this? I mean it's insane, Like it's
• 22:00
  seriously insane. And then Herma Neots is five ten, she's I mean yeah,
• 22:06
  and when you're talking girls basketball, five ten's you know, decent size
• 22:08
  five ten is in the post a lot of the time. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 22:12
  I mean, just talking for a with Boffel High School where I'm at,
• 22:18
  I don't think we have a girl over over five ten. I don't
• 22:21
  think we do, because well we did. We had one girl who signed
• 22:22
  to go to Wyoming, but she she didn't play all year, so a
• 22:26
  little bit different. And and we're in the state tournament, you know what
• 22:29
  I mean. Like it's yeah, it's it's it's wild to look at this
• 22:32
  roster really is. It's kind of giving off Bob Ames vibes, you know
• 22:36
  what I mean, where you don't believe what you're looking at, right,
• 22:38
  Yeah, like there's no way they got two girls that are six foot two
• 22:42
  and then and another one that's six to one, and they're going to be
• 22:45
  back for the next two years and more. Yeah, yeah, I mean
• 22:48
  it is. It is crazy. Like I followed basketball a little bit last
• 22:53
  year, not even close the way I followed it this year, but I
• 22:56
  you know, I kind of kept dabs and and and uh so I didn't
• 23:00
  really know what to expect. I knew about Peyton Mills. I knew that
• 23:04
  she was a really good freshman last year, and that was kind of,
• 23:07
  you know, that was kind of what I knew. I knew Hailey COOCHI
• 23:11
  is an awesome player, like just athlete, like great volleyball players, is
• 23:15
  gonna go play college volleyball, and so is may Evander Yacht who's on the
• 23:18
  team. Yeah, and so I knew I kind of knew some of that.
• 23:22
  I knew coach Adams was coming back. And then during volleyball, people
• 23:26
  were telling me, like because Finley Parcher played volleyball as well, and people
• 23:30
  kept saying, have you seen her play basketball yet? And I was like,
• 23:33
  no, I have no idea. And so I had kind of heard
• 23:36
  some rumblings. And then right right out of the gate, I mean,
• 23:40
  she she is a and I'm sure they've already voted like All League and all
• 23:45
  that stuff, and I guarantee you she'll be a first team player. She
• 23:47
  was dynamic and and and just an assassin from the outside, like she could
• 23:53
  drain the three. Uh, it's it's I love watching that team play because
• 23:59
  it's just it's intense and it is they do all the little things right,
• 24:04
  and you know that's that's huge at this level. So it's really fun to
• 24:08
  watch them play. Let's see here that well, that's two A on the
• 24:12
  girls side. Let's talk one A when we'll start with Lynden Christian fifty nine
• 24:19
  to fifty one over Lakeside of nine Mile Falls. Tyler, did you got
• 24:25
  out to this one? Yeah? I saw this whole game and it was
• 24:30
  it was kind of what I expected Linnen Christian. You know, it was,
• 24:34
  you know close early Lakeside would make the deep shots to kind of hang
• 24:38
  in there, and then as every time Linden Christian would get up by like
• 24:42
  ten or twelve, you know, Lakeside would hit like a three and make
• 24:47
  it eight or nine. Like it would just kind of it just kind of
• 24:49
  hover around that spot for most of the game. And Lindon Christian pulled away
• 24:55
  a little in the third, and then Lakeside got a lot closer in the
• 24:59
  fourth, but it it was a little bit too little, too late.
• 25:02
  Lennon Christian, their entire starting lineup, I want to say is you know,
• 25:08
  five eight or five nine and taller. They they have, they have
• 25:15
  a lot of size, and Grace Heinz kind of brings it all together.
• 25:21
  Like when she rejoined the team. I mean, think about this. She
• 25:26
  surpassed a thousand career points about four or five games ago. Yeah, and
• 25:32
  that's a huge accomplishment in any high school career. I mean, Jeremiah Wright
• 25:36
  just passed that, you know, and he's and and and she. Yeah,
• 25:41
  she's a junior and she's missed basically this entire year before that happened.
• 25:45
  Wow, she basically had like nine hundred points and two in her freshman and
• 25:48
  sophomore year. You said their starting lineup, Yeah, okay, give it
• 25:52
  to me. Who is it? So in the middle Young's it's six to
• 25:57
  one. She's the lone senior on the team too. Oh, I hadn't
• 26:03
  even noticed that. Yeah, you're right, right, And then after that
• 26:07
  you have Dania Daniel Dykstra, right, and then Grace Heinz five nine and
• 26:18
  Ella Fritz Ella Fritz five ten and Alison Shoemate six foot. Yeah, that
• 26:25
  is a really tall starting lineup. And then I see, I mean Tyler
• 26:27
  a freshman that's six to one yeah. I mean they've got three freshmen on
• 26:33
  this team, is what they have listed. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 26:36
  they don't. They don't play as much as some of the other freshmen.
• 26:38
  Yeah, but but it's you know, Estella Hernandez is kind of the sixth
• 26:44
  player. She was starting. Yeah, she was starting before sophomore, before
• 26:48
  Heinz came back. Right, Yeah, it's it's and that's els girls.
• 26:55
  This is so girls basketball has been around for fifty years. You know,
• 27:00
  this is the fiftieth anniversary of title nine. I don't know if they started
• 27:03
  state tournaments right away. I don't think they did. But here's the crazy
• 27:11
  thing. This is this is their forty third trip to state. Holy cow.
• 27:18
  So that tells you a lot that it's it's it's just been a factory
• 27:25
  forever. And and let me see how many one, two, four,
• 27:29
  five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, e the thirteen
• 27:33
  championships, thirteen state championships, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
• 27:37
  eleven shops, Yes, thirteen state championships and one two, three, four,
• 27:41
  five, six, seven, eight nine second place finishes. So so
• 27:48
  twenty two times they've been in the state championship game. And and you know,
• 27:52
  basically the last like maybe forty five you know years. Well, yeah,
• 27:56
  it's it's unreal. Yeah, that's unbelievable. I mean it's yeah,
• 28:00
  it's it's it's really phenomenal. And it's just it's just that, you know,
• 28:07
  I was sitting there watching the game with a Joe Kramer. He's the
• 28:10
  new writer for the Linen Tribune, really bright guy, and we're sitting there
• 28:14
  watching and and you know, he's new to it, all right, so
• 28:18
  he kind of and we're talking about the history and stuff like that, and
• 28:21
  he goes and he was taking you know, we were talking about Linden and
• 28:23
  Linden Christian boys and girls, and he's like, why why does it just
• 28:26
  keep like why are they always great? You know? And I just said,
• 28:30
  there's a standard. You know. You can't just like show up and
• 28:33
  play for the for these teams. You have to put in the work.
• 28:37
  It's it's, uh, you have to be great, like you have to
• 28:41
  be or you're not gonna be able to make the team. It's a level
• 28:44
  of expectation. It's expectation, thank you. That's exactly right. And and
• 28:48
  this was supposed to be their down year, you know, this was they
• 28:52
  had a huge they had a big time senior class last year, and anytime
• 28:56
  you should not be a you know, like you could be good, but
• 29:02
  like you shouldn't be expected to be a potential state champion, like right,
• 29:06
  you know. And they have seven losses this year. The last time they
• 29:10
  had seven losses was twenty twelve, and they probably won state, right right.
• 29:17
  I mean it's just but that's again, they wouldn't say that year in
• 29:21
  twenty twelve. No, no, they did not. Okay, but uh
• 29:26
  yeah, they they probably finished second. Then I'm looking here. I don't
• 29:32
  think they did. They finished third. They finished third, of course,
• 29:34
  I mean, yeah, but I mean, but that's but that's what I
• 29:37
  mean is like, is it you know, we we've talked about how in
• 29:41
  the last I think it was nineteen or eighteen state tournaments they finished and we
• 29:48
  looked it up and it was wild four, fourth or better in the last
• 29:51
  eighteen they played, they played in the third place game, like nineteen years
• 29:53
  in a row or something, or or third place or better. So either
• 29:57
  in the championship or in the third place game. Yeah, and they've really
• 30:03
  just had you know, I've gone back and looked at all the coaches that
• 30:07
  they've had, and they've had four coaches in their history. What and yeah,
• 30:12
  and Rose Boss was the first coach, but there was it was very
• 30:15
  like you played seven or eight games a year. It was kind of yeah,
• 30:18
  you were starting to kind of get it together. Sharon Strangholt took over
• 30:22
  and she won state titles and then she she coached for five years, and
• 30:27
  then Kurt Nahan took over in nineteen eighty in the eighty eighty one season,
• 30:33
  and when he retired, he had over five hundred victories all time, you
• 30:37
  know, winning his coach in state history, and gave it to Brady Bomber.
• 30:41
  And Brady Palmer has not really I mean he's won two hundred and twenty
• 30:45
  six games and he's lost twenty nine. I mean that's you know, you
• 30:52
  start looking at those things and it doesn't look real. No, it doesn't
• 30:56
  sound real. Yeah, and he's in his tenth year and that's that bogged
• 31:00
  the mind too. He's in his tenth year and he's like he's like twenty
• 31:04
  years old. I mean he's not twenty, but you know he's he's a
• 31:07
  young guy. Like he started coaching right when he got out of college and
• 31:11
  it has been pure domination. And he is gonna and he's just a great
• 31:17
  guy too. I mean, he's it's it's a it's a it's just a
• 31:21
  great thing they have going there. And and yeah, I'm excited because they
• 31:26
  do damage there. They always go and make a great showing. I'm looking
• 31:32
  at I think I'm looking. Yeah, I'm looking at the girls basketball one
• 31:37
  time one A all time tournament records. And the thing that actually blows me
• 31:44
  away looking at this, Tyler, Yeah, I don't see Lenny Christian's name
• 31:48
  anywhere. What kind of records are you looking at? This is the state
• 31:52
  tournament records. Actually the only here's the only thing I see from eighty seven
• 31:59
  is as most consecutive team appearances from eighty seven to ninety nine. Well that,
• 32:06
  I mean, that doesn't even seem right. This is on the wi's
• 32:08
  website. This is their thing here. But it's like, you know,
• 32:14
  individual career points in the state tournament, you know, field goals made,
• 32:19
  stuff like that. But that right there, Tyler speaks to the team,
• 32:23
  the team, you know what I mean, Like you don't see their name,
• 32:27
  Like I'm looking this over and like I don't see I don't see Lynn
• 32:30
  Christian hardly anywhere. I Mean, here's Juliana Walker from Annie Wright, like
• 32:36
  she's going bonkers in these games. I don't know how good they did,
• 32:38
  but I don't see Lynn Christian's name in any of this stuff. But that
• 32:42
  speaks to the team. That's what's crazy. Like, I mean, yeah,
• 32:45
  it's truly blowing my mind right now. Yeah, yeah, anyway,
• 32:49
  Tyler, that is that's Lynn Christian. Now. There was also another game
• 32:57
  going on, Nooksack Valley beats top and is seventy five thirty six. I
• 33:01
  mean, they're just dominant right now. Yeah, it's it was kind of
• 33:07
  what was expected. Uh early on Topish Top Nish was so scrappy. I
• 33:12
  mean they it kind of flustered Knoksack a little in the beginning. I think
• 33:16
  Knuksack hadn't played a game in two weeks. Oh y on the trade because
• 33:21
  they won. There was no districts or whatever you want to call it,
• 33:23
  or or sub Yeah, no districts because sub district. Yeah, they they
• 33:28
  played their championship game for districts a long time ago. Yeah. And and
• 33:32
  and it was the same thing for LC, I guess, but uh,
• 33:35
  because they played each other or no, because Elsie then played Meridian for that
• 33:38
  playing game. So Yeah, Knoksac and played for a long time and it
• 33:42
  was just kind of you know, not that they were going through the motions,
• 33:45
  but the other team was ready and they they they did really well.
• 33:50
  Here is and this is and you'll probably know what I'm talking about. You've
• 33:52
  probably seen this. You know, you've seen a lot of sports and and
• 33:55
  this is how you know a team is unbelievably good. And this this has
• 34:00
  happened to me this year while watching Knook sat the girls. Yeah, I'll
• 34:04
  watch the other team and go, man, they're doing awesome, and then
• 34:07
  I look up the scoreboard and they're just getting housed. Yeah. Yeah,
• 34:12
  I've seen that a lot. Actually, that happened in the game a couple
• 34:15
  of weeks ago when I was watching our girls play and I'm like, I'm
• 34:19
  like, wow, I don't really like this Newport team, like like they
• 34:21
  do a lot of things right, and like, you know, there's a
• 34:23
  lot to like here. And then I looked up and I was like,
• 34:25
  oh, wait, a minute's running clock. What the heck? How did
• 34:28
  that happen? Exactly? And it's here that's what happened with topini Ish.
• 34:31
  But I tell you what, they they were fun to watch. They have
• 34:36
  no seniors and I and I didn't realize that until like in the third or
• 34:39
  fourth quarter, because you know, I'm sitting right there at the table and
• 34:44
  I'm on the topinish side kind of and girls would come in to check in
• 34:47
  and they all looked so young, like really young, and I thought,
• 34:51
  man, this they have some young players. So I looked at their roster.
• 34:53
  They don't have any seniors. So that was even more impressive because Nuuksac
• 35:00
  Valley has you know, they've got four seniors that have gone through the ringers,
• 35:04
  they've played in state title games the last couple of years. And and
• 35:07
  was it their roster, Tyler. And obviously we've done these podcasts, so
• 35:12
  I hear the names and stuff. I was looking at their roster and I
• 35:15
  was like, actually, I know these names, like like I don't just
• 35:21
  hear them, like I know these Nooksack Valley names because they are names that
• 35:25
  we legitimately talk about over and over and over again. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 35:31
  and it's you know, it's not just a one player team. I mean,
• 35:35
  yeah, Devin Coppinger is fantastic, you know, averaging twenty three points,
• 35:39
  eight rebounds, three assists, four steals per game. But it's it's
• 35:46
  it's more than that. Landy kimball Is is a beast man. She's so
• 35:52
  athletic. I mean, she might be just the best pure athlete and all
• 35:57
  girls sports in Walkin County. And and she's so intense when she plays.
• 36:04
  She she swatted a ball, it was amazing, and then she came back
• 36:07
  and she was she kind of had an awkward shot, so she put it
• 36:10
  in her left hand and shot it from like ten feet out and just drained
• 36:14
  it like it was like are you kidding me? Like those kinds of things,
• 36:16
  you know. And and she's been around. She won a state title
• 36:21
  in softball as a sophomore. She was the starting third baseman. I remember
• 36:24
  interviewing after that game. Now she's the center fielder and they got I want
• 36:30
  to say sixth in volleyball this year, she was the star player of that
• 36:32
  team. She won a state title last year. She's a she's just one
• 36:36
  of those pure athletes that can just you know, she probably you know,
• 36:39
  it looks like everything just comes easy to her, you know, yeah,
• 36:43
  but you could tell she works really hard. Tanahokama is you know, a
• 36:47
  six six foot one center that is she's so good leads the team in rebounds,
• 36:52
  but she can shoot outside too. And Kaylie Anderson, who did the
• 36:58
  intro, she's the she's the sharp shooter. She made four out of seven
• 37:01
  threes in that game, scored fourteen points. Uh. And Kate Shintaffer is
• 37:06
  the is the fifth starter. She's the one junior starter, and she's just
• 37:09
  like a bundle of dynamite. Like defensively, she's very active, quick hands,
• 37:15
  but then she can hit a three as well when you win. When
• 37:19
  you watch the team, you think that she's like five three or five four
• 37:22
  because she's the youngest or she's the shortest out there, but she's five seven.
• 37:25
  It's it's it's really like holy cow. And then I mean Grace de
• 37:30
  Hooague and Peyton Bartell are amazing players that are coming off the bench. Both
• 37:37
  sophomores, both play on the both play volleyball, both play softball. And
• 37:42
  Graced Hoogue at six' one Peyton Bartell at five six is as you know,
• 37:46
  she's another great outside shooter, left handed shooter. She she'll just she
• 37:52
  can set up camp in the in the in the in the corner and just
• 37:55
  drill them all game. And it's just it's just so demoralizing because they put
• 38:00
  up points so fast, and and you got Coppinger up at the top of
• 38:06
  the key playing defense, and that's that's just hard to get past, you
• 38:09
  know, as it is, and you know, the record speaks for itself.
• 38:15
  And coach Shane Wickers this is his twenty eighth season, and you know
• 38:19
  I covered him a long time ago with The Herald and he has four hundred
• 38:22
  and thirty nine wins in his career. Unbelievable career, and man, it's
• 38:28
  just it's it's kind of all coming together. You know. It's their one
• 38:34
  loss all year was to guess that teammate in Idaho. They beat Mead this
• 38:37
  year. You know, you want to look at who the number one seed
• 38:39
  is in the three A tournament, it's Mead. It you know, they
• 38:44
  beat Lyndon Lindon's the two and the two AA and these were these were double
• 38:50
  digit wins, you know, so it really speaks to them. They they
• 38:54
  beat their opponents by an average of thirty three points. And yeah, their
• 39:02
  average score is almost they almost double them up, sixty seven to thirty four
• 39:06
  as their average score. So that's and they're on a mission, you know,
• 39:10
  they are. They they are very they are very determined, they're best
• 39:15
  friends. I mean it's just it's all the things that that you want.
• 39:19
  And with a great coach, great great assistant coaches. Yeah, really really
• 39:24
  cool deal. Yeah. I'm just looking at Mead one loss all year,
• 39:30
  twenty four and one. Yeah, same with Lindon twenty four and one.
• 39:34
  Yep. And when I look at it, Tyler, I mean they beat
• 39:37
  University. I don't know anything about University. They beat them seventy two to
• 39:40
  thirty four. They beat Cheeney's sixty seven thirty one. I mean they are
• 39:45
  absolutely destroying these teams. I mean they just are. They are absolutely just
• 39:51
  mangling these teams. Mead is number one, Lakes out of Seattle is number
• 39:57
  two, and Mead beat Lakes out of Seattle already once this year. You
• 40:00
  know. So, I when you look at it like that win for Knukxack
• 40:04
  Valley is I mean, and they didn't just beat him, I mean they
• 40:09
  beat them forty seven thirty and they were without two of their starters. Knuksak
• 40:15
  was Yeah. I mean it's just it's imagine that Landy Kimball and Laney Kimball
• 40:20
  and Kaylee Anderson were both out for that game. Yeah, I mean,
• 40:22
  so it's it's unbelievable. It's crazy, it really is. I mean,
• 40:27
  it's yeah, it's something to watch. I mean, you know, if
• 40:30
  I hate to sound uh what, it's what I'm looking looking for here.
• 40:35
  I hate to sound greedy, but uh, maybe we get a little little
• 40:40
  all walk and matchup there on Saturday, Hunt, Tyler. That's what it's
• 40:44
  been the last couple of years. And they've they've they've split it the last
• 40:46
  two years. And a lot of people have come up to me. Everyone
• 40:51
  you know, is you know, expecting KNICKXAK Valley. But a lot of
• 40:53
  people come up to me and say, tell me how it's not going to
• 40:58
  be Lenny Christian against Knucksack Valley and the girls game. And I'm just,
• 41:00
  you know, I just put my hands up and I go, you never
• 41:02
  know, I I don't know enough about the other teams. I always I
• 41:06
  always say that I can tell you this, Tyler. If these numbers are
• 41:09
  right, Deer Park could be in for some trouble. Okay, okay,
• 41:15
  let me give you that. So first off, deer Park is they're twenty
• 41:16
  four and oh so they're there are the two. They're the two. They're
• 41:20
  the two. Now here's the problem for Deer Park. Yeah, their tallest
• 41:24
  girl is five eight. Yeah. I mean their tallest girl is just not
• 41:34
  tall, you know what I mean. And so it's like you have to
• 41:37
  have a couple of girls that can that don't really need to jump much to
• 41:42
  be able to get rebounds, you know what I mean, and to be
• 41:44
  able to do that stuff down low. And the fact of the matter is
• 41:46
  their team just looking at it here five six, five six four girls are
• 41:51
  five seven five girls are five seven five six five six, five five five
• 41:55
  five and five eight. I mean that's gonna be tough. Yeah, that's
• 42:00
  tough. Now, for all I know, they might be the Phoenix Suns
• 42:04
  under what's his name, Mark D'Antonio. They might just run the floor like
• 42:08
  crazy, you know what I mean. Who knows, But that is a
• 42:12
  tough, tough matchup. If if you're a team going against, well,
• 42:15
  who would they go against? They would go against uh, let's see here,
• 42:20
  they would go, well, they would go Lynnon Christian. Yeah,
• 42:22
  and we've talked about Lennon Christian's size. Every every starter on the floor.
• 42:28
  Len Christian would be taller than every than anybody on Deer Yeah. As a
• 42:31
  matter of fact. So I'm looking at lynnon Christian's roster right now. They're
• 42:35
  their entire roster. They have one, two, three, four, five,
• 42:42
  six, seven, eight girls that are taller than the tallest girl from
• 42:47
  Deer Park, right and and five of them are starters. Yeah, and
• 42:52
  and so uh, let's see here, h Courtney Tulsma five to four,
• 43:00
  Gracelyn Russell five to five, Kayle young Un five to three, and then
• 43:07
  Ellie Pierce five to four. Everybody else is taller. Yeah, literally the
• 43:10
  entire team. Yeah, other than those four girls are taller than the taller
• 43:16
  girl deer Deer Park. That's just not good for Deer Park. You know,
• 43:21
  it's just it's just I mean, I get it. I get it.
• 43:23
  They're twenty four. I mean yeah, you have to put them in.
• 43:25
  That's pretty high. Oh yeah no. And and the thing is is
• 43:30
  is you know, Tyler, you you even mentioned it. Uh you know,
• 43:32
  seven losses, honestly, seven losses. It's even tough to justify third,
• 43:37
  right, Like sure, it just is like I mean, I've been
• 43:40
  in these seating committees before. I know what it's like. But when you
• 43:44
  when you look at it, I mean, let's just talk. You know
• 43:46
  other numbers fourth play the number four seed Kings they have ten losses Wapato,
• 43:53
  they are the five. They are twenty two and four wo, but they
• 43:58
  beat Kings. You know. It's it's one of those things. I mean,
• 44:02
  Tyler, you saw you saw Lakeside, right, Yeah, they were
• 44:07
  nineteen and five. Yeah they were pretty good. Yeah, you know,
• 44:09
  and so you look at it and you just go, what you know,
• 44:13
  maybe it does make some sense for them to be that number three, And
• 44:15
  there isn't a lot of an argument, you know what I mean, like,
• 44:17
  yeah, even with those seven losses. But yeah, I don't know.
• 44:22
  I don't know, Tyler. All I know is you're headed over and
• 44:27
  it's going to be exciting and we're going to talk about it next week.
• 44:30
  Let's talk boys Kay also sponsored by Edilne Darry. We'll start with the two
• 44:37
  A Regional Tournament Lyndon seventy four fifty nine over Prosser. Yeah. I got
• 44:44
  to see the first half of this. I had to buzz out to down
• 44:50
  to Mount Vernon that night. But but this, oh man, I think
• 44:54
  of the first thing I think of is just the atmosphere it was, you
• 44:58
  know, it was in the Jake Mayberry, Mnasium and they're so good at
• 45:01
  just getting after it. And what I didn't know was before the game was
• 45:06
  that Anthony Canalis was twelve points away from becoming the school's all time leading score
• 45:12
  And anytime you break in a school record, that's fantastic. All that stuff.
• 45:15
  I love that stuff. But you start looking at like like if you're
• 45:22
  gonna be like think about records, like school records that would be big,
• 45:24
  like Ferndale's all time leading rusher. Yeah, you know, like like like
• 45:30
  it's up there, you know, right, but you know what I mean,
• 45:34
  like Ferndale like has great running backs, like Mount Baker's all time leading
• 45:37
  rusher, like those types of hi exactly, yes, yeah, you know,
• 45:44
  uh, Linden's leading receiver, Meridians leading passer, those types of records.
• 45:49
  That's what Linden's all time leading scorer in boys basketball is. It's probably
• 45:52
  that would be the you know, I mean, begintting Luke Gridnair's record would
• 45:57
  be tough, but but yeah it's and he scored like twenty three hundred points,
• 46:01
  but this was this was this was awesome for him. He was on
• 46:06
  a mission. Twenty three hundred points, twenty three ninety four or something like
• 46:09
  that, and don't we don't we like, isn't like celebrating a thousand like
• 46:14
  a common a thousands? A thousand is huge. Yeah, it's really hard
• 46:17
  to get. And he went well, I mean he doubled that and some
• 46:21
  Yeah. Yeah, I think when he graduated he was like second or third
• 46:24
  all time in the state. Wow. And he and and he was a
• 46:28
  point guard. Yeah, like like like his most he ever scored in a
• 46:31
  game in high school was like thirty seven. Yeah, what if I'm wrong
• 46:35
  The word point in point guard doesn't mean you're scoring a lot of points,
• 46:37
  right, Yeah, he's not a points guard. Yeah, yeah, not
• 46:40
  a point So it's like the es in quota in parenthesesentheses, Yeah, exactly.
• 46:46
  So Anthony Canalis, you know, he he's just he he was definitely
• 46:52
  on a mission. Brent Hepner was money too. He only missed one shot.
• 46:57
  He went off in the third quarter kind of kind of took over.
• 47:00
  And they, you know, Prosser was really athletic. They just didn't have
• 47:05
  the size, you know. And and Linden starts a couple six six guys.
• 47:12
  They bring in a six to seven guy off the bench that plays a
• 47:14
  lot, he's there, he's their sixth man, to be honest, So
• 47:16
  they And here's another thing I love. I loved by the way Canalis went
• 47:21
  for thirty five points. Brady Elsner didn't take a shot in the game and
• 47:28
  he had like eight, eight, eight or nine assists. I love that.
• 47:31
  That is like like he knows exactly like how to get his players involved.
• 47:37
  He can completely, like you know, dictate a game without taking a
• 47:43
  shot. I think that's awesome. And he's just so good. He's over.
• 47:47
  He's already broken the single season record for assists in a season and he's
• 47:52
  just adding on to that now. But it's, uh, it's wonderful.
• 47:57
  What they what they've done again in a factory their fifty fifth trip to state
• 48:04
  good. I mean, how do you how do you even say that without
• 48:06
  laughing? Uh? You know, uh they you know, the average score
• 48:12
  is sixty eight forty eight. They have won two three, four, five,
• 48:16
  six, seven, eight, nine, ten eleven, twelve first place
• 48:20
  finishes and four second place finishes and yeah, in the last yeah, it's
• 48:28
  just it's unbelievable. And the last one two three, four, five,
• 48:32
  six, seven eight nine state championship games that they've been in they've won eight
• 48:37
  of them, so when they get there, they know how to close it
• 48:42
  out. Yeah. It's Brian Roper's Hall of Fame coach and he's in his
• 48:49
  nineteenth season at Lyndon, his record three ninety five and eighty eight. That's
• 48:55
  crazy, you know. On the like sound you know how they say like
• 49:01
  oh, that just made Wiley Allred go what? Yeah? Well, you
• 49:05
  know how they say, like in football, the classic thing to say is
• 49:07
  like, oh, it puts a video game like numbers, Like that's like
• 49:12
  video game type, you know, coaching numbers like yeah, it's insane.
• 49:15
  Who was the whos? The was it the girls? Oh? Is Brady
• 49:19
  Bomber? I think? Yeah? I mean like, what what are we
• 49:22
  talking about here? What? Yeah? And Brady Bomber played under Brian Roper.
• 49:28
  Well there you go, and now and now he's coaching better than Brent.
• 49:30
  Oh sorry, I don't know. I mean it's it's crazy and it's
• 49:35
  wild. It's honestly, it's Tyler. I'm telling you as somebody from outside
• 49:39
  the county that you know has always paid attention to this stuff but never been
• 49:44
  like, you know, deep into it. It truly is impressive. What
• 49:47
  basketball in Walkham County. Is it's it's it's seriously ridiculous. It honestly is.
• 49:52
  I mean, it's so mind blowing how every single year there's multiple teams
• 49:59
  that were talking about they could win state championships every single year. Yeah,
• 50:02
  it is. It's impressive. We've become spoiled up here for sure. I
• 50:07
  mean I've taken it for granted because I followed it a lot in the nineties.
• 50:14
  You know, there'll be a story coming out today where I talk about
• 50:17
  the team that kind of got me into high school basketball. It's the thirtieth
• 50:22
  anniversary of that team. But I so I really followed it in the nineties,
• 50:29
  and there was some unbelievable teams. The Seahome Boys team that just whooped
• 50:32
  everybody by thirty or forty and including the state title game and it was their
• 50:36
  first year going up to like the highest division in the state. And then
• 50:42
  the ridd and Hour teams, and it just those kinds of things, and
• 50:44
  then getting to cover these games, especially the district tournament, was so much
• 50:47
  fun. And then there was kind of a lull where I just didn't I
• 50:52
  just wasn't covering sports at all. And when I came back and ten years
• 50:57
  ago and was really getting into the history of football stuff, didn't really talk
• 51:00
  about the history of basketball, and a lot of people reached out and said,
• 51:01
  man, you should do a history of basketball page too, And I
• 51:05
  just thought, that's a lot of work. And I don't. I don't
• 51:07
  know it like I know football, like I I don't want to do anything
• 51:12
  where I don't know everything about it. Yep. And and now kind of,
• 51:17
  you know, following it this year has been great. But then I
• 51:21
  look back and see things, and I look up things and go and now
• 51:24
  there it's it's much easier to do that with newspapers, dot com and all
• 51:30
  that kind of stuff, and and and I can see a lot of stuff,
• 51:34
  and it is it's it is mind blowing. And and you're right,
• 51:37
  it's really impressive. And I don't I don't take it for granted that uh.
• 51:40
  And it's fun to see the report the new reporters that move here from
• 51:45
  out of the county and they're just like and they're just like, man,
• 51:47
  there's a lot of work to do. It's a we're gonna cover a lot
• 51:51
  of teams. I'm like, yeah, this is that's kind of way.
• 51:52
  It is so uh, but it is very cool. Well, and especially
• 51:58
  because you're not just covering, you're covering for a long time because there's always
• 52:04
  teams going deep in everything. I mean, it's insane, like right,
• 52:08
  and it starts to kind of cross over a little bit. You gotta be
• 52:12
  careful, you know, because you know, especially for football teams, teams
• 52:15
  going all the way and playing into December, and it's like, man,
• 52:17
  there's already been there's already been basketball games being played, and it's just you
• 52:22
  know, you gotta get it's hard to take a break. You know,
• 52:25
  that's what summer's for. So yeah, well it's classic. Like Royal they
• 52:29
  consistently don't start their basket of their boys basketball games until like like the first
• 52:34
  week of you know, after the well after the first week of December.
• 52:37
  Yeah, like they wait, yeah, because they know that, hey,
• 52:42
  it's very likely we're gonna have a few boys there, you know. And
• 52:44
  I remember, I remember, I remember a coach telling me, I remember
• 52:49
  how many practices or if they even have to have practices, because you know,
• 52:53
  you gotta hit the number to be able to play a varsity game.
• 52:59
  And I don't remember what the number is, but I know that it you
• 53:02
  know, it carries over or whatever. But I remember the Odessa. I
• 53:08
  think it was a mom and no, you know it was her. Yeah,
• 53:12
  she was she her her actually her son was the best player on oDesk
• 53:15
  a couple of years ago, and I said, well, what's up next
• 53:19
  for him? And she goes, oh, we have a basketball game,
• 53:22
  like, you know, like next week. And I was like, oh
• 53:24
  really, She's like yeah, I go oh have they already played something?
• 53:28
  She goes, oh, no, oh no, we we we never schedule
• 53:30
  games before before the football season could potentially end. And I was like,
• 53:36
  you guys actually do that and she's like yeah. He's like and then if
• 53:38
  you know, if we get there, then we just you know, we
• 53:43
  just go right right into basketball. Such a wild thing to think about,
• 53:46
  you know what I mean. And you know, for Linden, they've done
• 53:50
  the last couple of years, you know, winning state tournament in football and
• 53:52
  then boom right into it. It's it's crazy. I mean, it's no
• 53:55
  no downtime. But yeah, Tyler, we've got what two more games to
• 54:00
  talk about here? Yeah, we got the one A regional tournament Meridian sixty
• 54:06
  three Life Christian Academy out of Tacoma fifty seven. That was that game that
• 54:10
  was that down at Mount Vernon. That one was at Mount Vernon. That
• 54:15
  was It was a fun game. I mean it was. It was intense
• 54:19
  because it's you know, you're lose and you're done. So that was the
• 54:23
  one that had that feeling right of like holy cow, this this could be
• 54:28
  it. The two things that I'll I will never forget from the life Christian
• 54:34
  side of this was awesome band. Amazing band, life Christian amazing band.
• 54:42
  They sounded great, not big, but they usually have their band for football
• 54:49
  too. The couple games I've been to down there, and I've always been
• 54:52
  not very many small schools have truly great bands, right, you know,
• 54:57
  and especially the especially the Academy me or you know, private schools because they're
• 55:01
  even smaller, you know, like yeah, it's just typically are and that's
• 55:05
  yeah. I remember I see them playing two B football and it was it
• 55:09
  was always they always had a really good band and they and you know,
• 55:12
  not to go football here, but they used to run out of one of
• 55:15
  those giant eagles, you know, like like inflatable things, and it always
• 55:19
  just cracked me up because it was like eighteen guys, you know what I
• 55:22
  mean, Like this giant eagle and they're running out with like, you know,
• 55:24
  twenty dudes and that's it. And it was like, well, here
• 55:28
  we go. Yeah. But and here's the thing that was really and the
• 55:32
  other thing I took from from Life Christians. They had these signs like they'd
• 55:36
  hold up like one since I would say Life one won say Christian, won't
• 55:39
  say Academy. And at one point the Life one was upside down and it
• 55:43
  reminded me to e fhile. You know what, you know what that reminds
• 55:47
  me of Tyler? You remember the e fhile? You're an idiot? Do
• 55:53
  you remember Home Improvement? Leon? Yeah? Leon is a well yeah,
• 56:00
  the four kids at the n O E l on their shirts and they lined
• 56:05
  up wrong and Kim's like, hey, who's Leon? Yeah? Oh that
• 56:10
  was Yes, that was a great I knew. And that's the first thing
• 56:14
  I thought of when I saw the E file. I was like, I
• 56:16
  was like, that's like Leon, Yeah, that's so funny that you thought
• 56:21
  of that too. But but that game was really good. What was crazy
• 56:23
  about that one is the Meridians two leading scorers, Talon Jenkins and Jagger five.
• 56:29
  They are you know, Talon Jenkins average is eighteen a game, five
• 56:31
  averages fifteen a game. They are they are the guys. They want to
• 56:35
  get the Scots to score the ball. Throughout the first half up until five
• 56:40
  seconds until halftime, neither of those players had hit a field goal yet and
• 56:46
  still had the lead. That's that really told me a lot about coach Shane
• 56:52
  Stacey that he was finding other guys to get involved to still have the lead
• 56:58
  when his two guys hadn't hit a shot yet. Now, Talon Jenkins hit
• 57:00
  a shot, hit a three pointer right at the buzzer at the end of
• 57:05
  the first half, so that was his field goal and five had he was
• 57:07
  four for four from the line. He just hadn't hit a field goal yet,
• 57:12
  and that was you know, to do that and still hang in there.
• 57:15
  Now, I'll tell you what the two big things that won them this.
• 57:20
  They had twenty offensive rebounds. That's insane. And the good thing about
• 57:25
  Meridian is they have some size. For a one A school, they have
• 57:30
  some great size. They start a couple six five kids. They got another
• 57:32
  six to five kid coming off the bench that is kind of their sixth guys,
• 57:36
  So they have a lot of size. They the whole starting lineup is
• 57:38
  over six feet tall. Well, you got a couple guys are six feet
• 57:42
  tall and then Jager five is six to two. So but man, they
• 57:45
  Christian Klausen had a great game, probably the best game of his career.
• 57:50
  And he's just been getting better and better all year. He's the six to
• 57:52
  five center. He leads the county in field goal percentage. He doesn't take
• 57:57
  stupid shots. He's right up there at about sixty three percent on the year.
• 58:00
  Uh, he had a big game. Tarren Burks is there's always that
• 58:06
  one player that you watch and just and are just wowed of his energy.
• 58:12
  You know, he's just got springs and he he never tires, he never
• 58:15
  comes out of the game. Uh. Tarren Burks is that guy. He
• 58:20
  is Like this happens a lot when they play against teams that don't know them
• 58:24
  very well, Like he's guarding up at the top like the point guard,
• 58:28
  and then they'll just do like a they'll just do like an entry pass and
• 58:30
  he'll he'll tip it up in the air and it's like, WHOA, I
• 58:34
  was not expecting that. And he did that like two or three times in
• 58:37
  the beginning of the game. So they had to go, Okay, let
• 58:39
  we can't do. If we're gonna throw it into the down low, it
• 58:43
  can't be with a guy that Tarren Burks is guarding because he will tip the
• 58:46
  pass. He's just he has that ability to just jump and get it,
• 58:50
  you know, and those kinds of things, those little things. And then
• 58:54
  in the second half the Jenkins and five started hitting some outside shots and they
• 58:59
  were able to to pull out the victory. You know, only only fourteen
• 59:05
  and eleven. Now WIA shows them as thirteen and eleven, but they do
• 59:08
  not have the game that where they beat Elgin Park out of out of Canada,
• 59:14
  So shame on them. But that's the WAA so and you know,
• 59:19
  it's it's been a it's been an up and down year. They average sixty
• 59:22
  points the game, they allow sixty points a game. But they're playing in
• 59:25
  a really tough league. You know, Linden got them by like fifty,
• 59:30
  but Linden's Linden, and they didn't have their best. They didn't have Talon
• 59:31
  Jenkins for that game. So it's really hard to kind of see all that
• 59:36
  stuff. But I tell you what, you know, they but then when
• 59:39
  they played Linden Christian in the district title game, they were up at halftime
• 59:45
  and I and I think that they believe, like we can if we can
• 59:49
  hang with Linden Christian, we could. We're a lot better than people think
• 59:52
  we are. Yeah, they did drop that one, but they were they
• 59:55
  hang with them really really well. And then that kind of carried the momentum
• 1:00:00
  they when they beat Nuksack Valley and that game winning shot at the very last
• 1:00:02
  second. Uh, and that that really drove them. And then they win
• 1:00:07
  this one and you know, it's been it's been a couple of loser out
• 1:00:10
  games and now they're now they're going to be playing and and over in Yakamaan
• 1:00:15
  and uh. Yeah, Shane Stacy's also in his nineteenth year. Him and
• 1:00:20
  Roper from Linden came in at the same time. Uh. He was the
• 1:00:22
  girls coach for a few years and then went over to coach the boys.
• 1:00:25
  Uh. It's a it's a fun team to watch, very energetic and uh
• 1:00:31
  they have there's no there's no real weaknesses. You know, you have all
• 1:00:37
  your guys that can do all the different things. And I think they found
• 1:00:39
  their rotation the way they want it to be. And they all the players
• 1:00:44
  have found their roles and they're they're really clicking at the right time. Yeah,
• 1:00:47
  and is it the time to do it? I mean definitely, like
• 1:00:52
  you can make a run. They can absolutely make a run. Here,
• 1:00:57
  let's talk Lyndon Christian Seaton Catholic. The Links come away with a seventy one
• 1:01:01
  thirty nine win Overseaton Catholic, who, by the way, gets to play
• 1:01:07
  one of the other teams we were talking about here, and we will talk
• 1:01:08
  about that game and the whole schedule here in a minute. But Tyler Lynn
• 1:01:13
  Christian Seaton Catholic, Yeah, I was there for the first half of this
• 1:01:16
  one. It was kind of funny because I was sitting there. I was
• 1:01:22
  intense watching the game of stuff like that, and I looked behind me and
• 1:01:25
  it's like the legends of legends are bought right like two feet behind me standing
• 1:01:30
  there talking. I'm sitting in the corner with Shane Van Dalen, Blake's brother,
• 1:01:37
  Yeah, and we're just watching and having fun and stuff like that.
• 1:01:39
  And I looked behind me and I was like, whoh behind me is Brad
• 1:01:43
  Jackson, who's the Seahome Boys coach, but he was the Western basketball coach
• 1:01:47
  for thirty five years and he won a national title and he's just really decorated
• 1:01:53
  and he's talking to Luke Ridnower. Oh so that was kind of cool.
• 1:01:58
  I was like, oh, geez, there's a couple of guys that have
• 1:02:00
  wait and then you were standing next to who and I'm sitting next to Shane
• 1:02:05
  Van Dalen. So is this like, is this like when when La County
• 1:02:09
  Royalty? No, but is this like when Blake was like all State all
• 1:02:13
  State and Whitman Well not exactly, but yeah, pretty close something something like
• 1:02:21
  that. But it was it was just fun just to kind of be there
• 1:02:23
  for that. And and uh, I know Luke works a lot with the
• 1:02:28
  LC boys and and so he's there supporting them and seating Catholic They there's they're
• 1:02:36
  kind of small, but they have a couple of kids that are they're pretty
• 1:02:40
  good. They got a little kid number three, he can shoot, and
• 1:02:44
  then they got a freshman number twenty four, who can do a little bit
• 1:02:47
  of everything. And he was really really impressive. He was a vocal leader,
• 1:02:52
  uh, calling out things and getting getting guys ready. And he's a
• 1:02:54
  guy that's got D one written all over him. Wow, this again,
• 1:02:59
  what it was? It was three as Brady Angelo, a junior okay,
• 1:03:04
  and then what was the other number, twenty four cat Will Wilson, sixty
• 1:03:07
  four freshman, Yeah, averaging fourteen point eighty game. Yeah, he's he's
• 1:03:12
  a guy that's gonna go somewhere and play. And and they he looked really
• 1:03:16
  they look really impressive, and Elsie got to a hot start. They're very
• 1:03:19
  good at just it just all of a sudden, you could blink and they
• 1:03:22
  go, oh they're up nine to nothing, and kind of one of those
• 1:03:24
  things. But seton Catholic. Uh. The coach was really intense as far
• 1:03:30
  as like he would call things out like hands up, box out, rebound
• 1:03:34
  like he would it was almost like say do say, dude, is just
• 1:03:37
  happening? And it was. It was. It was impressive to see when
• 1:03:40
  he's coaching in the first half when like the defense, you know, his
• 1:03:43
  team's playing defense like right in front of him. And I was like,
• 1:03:46
  okay, this is they're playing Elsie really well. And Elsie, you know,
• 1:03:51
  they kind of went on there run in the second quarter and they were
• 1:03:53
  up by you know, I don't know, eight or ten or something like
• 1:03:55
  that half. And then I went down to Mount Vernon and I looked at
• 1:03:59
  the score of late they won seventy one to thirty nine. I was like,
• 1:04:02
  what, I watched the film and and uh, yeah, it just
• 1:04:09
  it's just the LC. They can just wear you out. There's they're they're
• 1:04:13
  very big and and they are strong, and they are very disciplined. They
• 1:04:18
  don't take stupid shots at all. They take a lot of outside shots,
• 1:04:21
  but the right guys take them. Uh, they're very very spread out,
• 1:04:28
  you know. As far as the scoring goes, it's never like that,
• 1:04:30
  what I mean. Dawson Bauma had a couple of big games that was that
• 1:04:34
  was early on when Jeremiah Wright was still recovering from his elbow injury. But
• 1:04:39
  they got four guys the average double figures. Wow, that doesn't happen too
• 1:04:44
  often. And it's eighteen, sixteen, fourteen and ten. It's not like
• 1:04:47
  they all average ten or eleven, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 1:04:50
  so that's really impressive. Caan Stite is the leading rebounder in Walking County.
• 1:04:55
  Uh didn't even play basketball last year and just decided to come out this year
• 1:04:59
  and he's averaging a double double. It's been really impressive. Gannon Dykstra is
• 1:05:03
  over six assists a game, big time distributor, but Jeremiah Wright. You
• 1:05:08
  know, he kind of took over that third quarter. He had back to
• 1:05:12
  back dunks followed up by a three pointer, and that that can really just
• 1:05:15
  change that momentum and deflate another team, especially a young team, and big
• 1:05:21
  time history for them to thirty ninth trip to state. They've won one two,
• 1:05:27
  three, four, five six seven eight state championships. The last two
• 1:05:31
  in a row they've played and got second place in one, two, three,
• 1:05:38
  four five six More. Tim Zilstra, this is just his fourth year
• 1:05:43
  as the LC coach. Are you ready for this record? Of course?
• 1:05:46
  Eighty and six? Wow, that's that's crazy. Eighty and six, Like
• 1:05:57
  that's a misprint, right, I mean, I just it's it's it's so
• 1:06:00
  again, it's it's it's these themes that have these uh what did you call
• 1:06:06
  the expectations. I mean that's that's that's the best word. When you said
• 1:06:12
  that, it just everything just like everything went off in my head, like,
• 1:06:15
  yes, that's exactly what it is. Because people ask me all the
• 1:06:17
  time, especially if they're not from here, like why is it like this?
• 1:06:19
  I'm like, I don't know. They're always good and that's about all
• 1:06:23
  I can say, you know, And but it is. It's the expectation
• 1:06:26
  of greatness. Yeah. Well, and the fact of the matter is is
• 1:06:30
  one of the one of the things you know, people ask me all the
• 1:06:32
  time about like Royal football, Why why is it? Why is it?
• 1:06:34
  And it's like it's it's a combination of things. Like one, they have
• 1:06:38
  a great community, you know, they have you know, great commitment.
• 1:06:41
  But more than anything is like the youth they just they have well they have
• 1:06:46
  a buy in. People buy into the idea, Hey, we're just going
• 1:06:50
  to be really good at basketball, Like we're just we're just gonna be really
• 1:06:57
  good. And and you know what, for Lyn and Christian it's like,
• 1:06:59
  hey, you're also going to be really good at football, you know what
• 1:07:00
  I mean? And and and so it's like when you just decide like,
• 1:07:05
  hey, we're we're just going to be really good. That's what we're going
• 1:07:08
  to do. We're going to do everything we can to be really good at
• 1:07:11
  this sport, and and you just you just do it, you know,
• 1:07:15
  And it's like you're willing to take you know, you're you're willing to do
• 1:07:20
  what you need to do. Yeah, And not a lot of people,
• 1:07:25
  yes, not a lot of people are willing to do that, you know.
• 1:07:27
  And it's it's all the little things, you know, and and and
• 1:07:30
  doing those things that you know, sure some schools do, but it's like,
• 1:07:34
  no, we're just going to do it better. That's what we're going
• 1:07:38
  to do. We're going to do it better than everybody else and and and
• 1:07:41
  that's that's what we're aiming for. You know. I remember when when we
• 1:07:45
  talked about when Jake Keaps and I talked about starting or you know, doing
• 1:07:49
  quarterback stuff, and one of the things we talked about was like, hey,
• 1:07:53
  we're just we just want to do it better than anybody else has ever
• 1:07:57
  done it the way that we do it, you know. And that's what
• 1:08:00
  it is, man, It's about just just excellence, you know what I
• 1:08:04
  mean. Just let's just do it the best that anybody can possibly do it.
• 1:08:09
  And then you know, we're gonna win a lot and somehow put up
• 1:08:14
  ungodly numbers in the process. Tyler, there's not a lot of games to
• 1:08:17
  talk about this week as far as Game of the week, but we got
• 1:08:24
  to have a game of the week because that's a segment we do every week.
• 1:08:27
  So Girls Basketball Game of the Week? What do you got for this
• 1:08:29
  one? Yeah, the Linden Christian Lakeside n Mouth Falls. It was a
• 1:08:33
  great game, I thought that, and I kind of went into it thinking
• 1:08:36
  this might be pretty close. Linden Christian being the three seed, I thought
• 1:08:42
  was fair and you know, having Heights back, she's not one hundred percent
• 1:08:47
  yet, but every game she just plays a little bit better, a little
• 1:08:50
  bit better. And she really got rolling, especially in the second quarter.
• 1:08:56
  But Lakeside would not go away. They were scrappy and they showed a lot,
• 1:09:00
  especially in the fourth quarter. I could see them, h you know,
• 1:09:03
  if they can get past that, they can get past the Wednesday game,
• 1:09:10
  they can they might be able to do some damage. That was really
• 1:09:13
  really impressed with them. It was it was uh, and it was cool
• 1:09:16
  because I got to see the whole game and and I just there were times
• 1:09:21
  when Els would be up by maybe six, and you know, they would
• 1:09:28
  get a hard earned basket. I remember, uh when that happened. Coach
• 1:09:32
  kame Ink walked by and and he said he said it kind of out loud,
• 1:09:39
  maybe not to anyone in particular, but he kind of goes needed that
• 1:09:43
  one, and it was just kind of you know, yeah, because he
• 1:09:48
  could see what was going to happen. If they didn't get it, it
• 1:09:51
  wasn't it wasn't rolling their way at that time. And and uh, you
• 1:09:56
  know, give a lot of credit to Brady Bomber because he's always he's alway
• 1:10:00
  ahead of stuff like that and and does the right thing and and they were
• 1:10:03
  able to get the win. And but it was a really good game.
• 1:10:08
  Uh, boys side, what do he got over there? Yeah? Down
• 1:10:11
  to Mount Vernon on Friday night. It was the it was the Meridian Life
• 1:10:14
  Christian game. I mean, that was that was great all the way through.
• 1:10:17
  When Telling Jenkins hit that three at the end of the half that made
• 1:10:21
  it thirty to twenty seven, that broke a tie. So it was it
• 1:10:26
  was close throughout. Uh, but Meridian there got and it was one of
• 1:10:30
  those you know, you like you and I have been watching the Mariners all
• 1:10:33
  of our life, and you know, you get to a point in June
• 1:10:36
  and someone's you know, a really good player is hitting like you know,
• 1:10:41
  I'm going back to the nineties probably, but like let's say, like let's
• 1:10:44
  say like Tino Martinez was hitting like two ten in June and they always say,
• 1:10:48
  well, he's gonna he's gonna finish the year at like two seventies,
• 1:10:51
  so you expect a big summer. That's that's the feeling I had watching that
• 1:10:56
  game in the second half. It's like, well, Jenkins and five have
• 1:10:59
  it gone off yet they will, It's just a matter of time. And
• 1:11:02
  then they did. And then it was you know, it was the twenty
• 1:11:06
  offensive rebounds, it was going twelve for thirteen from the line. It was
• 1:11:10
  those kinds of things that uh and it was the out hustle that Tarren Burke's
• 1:11:15
  had and that that won them the game. It was it was just another
• 1:11:19
  surviving advance. So happy for coach Stacy. You know, I've known him
• 1:11:25
  since he was we were in high school playing against each other and and and
• 1:11:29
  he's just a great guy. And he's got a really good staff. Rob
• 1:11:31
  Gray is on his staff. Who's you know, he won over two hundred
• 1:11:34
  games as the Mount Baker head coach. He's Mount Baker's winning his coach of
• 1:11:38
  all time and he's sitting there on his on his assistant coach staff. And
• 1:11:42
  and I love him too because he's so funny, like he doesn't change his
• 1:11:47
  expression ever on his face. I mean when they had that Gabe winning,
• 1:11:51
  you know, lay In and there was the mob scene and Shane Shane even
• 1:11:56
  jumped up and down he's hugging another coach. Rob like slowly stood up and
• 1:12:00
  clapped his hands with like a complete nothing look on his face. And that
• 1:12:02
  is exactly Rob Gray. He's seen it all. Yeah, I just I
• 1:12:09
  loved it and it's a it's been a fun team to follow and it was
• 1:12:12
  a great game. Anytime Fitness sponsors the boys and Girls basketball player of the
• 1:12:18
  Week Tyler Lyndon, Linden, North Ferndale. Those are the three locations of
• 1:12:24
  Anytime Fitness that do sponsor. Let's talk girls basketball player of the Week Tyler.
• 1:12:29
  Well, this was tricky because girls and boys each only had three games
• 1:12:32
  and they were just everybody just played one game. Every each team just played
• 1:12:35
  one game. So you're really just looking at the best performance from that game
• 1:12:41
  from the whole week. And yeah, and that's for the whole week.
• 1:12:44
  So when I looked it over, and this has happened multiple times now,
• 1:12:49
  Devin Coppinger, it's hard. I mean you could almost say she could get
• 1:12:53
  it every week, but but this was a huge game that she had.
• 1:12:58
  You know, that first quarter was little was a little rocky, and then
• 1:13:01
  in the second quarter. There was a there was a moment there in the
• 1:13:03
  second quarter where she made five straight field goals. I don't think they were
• 1:13:06
  on five consecutive trips down the floor, but you could see that she was
• 1:13:11
  like, Okay, I'm gonna try this now, I'm gonna try this move.
• 1:13:15
  I'm gonna do a spinning jumper. I'm gonna, you know, like
• 1:13:16
  back in and then turn and go one way and go the other way.
• 1:13:18
  I'm gonna I'm gonna dribble. I'm gonna, you know, go behind my
• 1:13:21
  back and yeah, spot up over here. I mean every button on the
• 1:13:26
  controller. Yes, absolutely, and and she just started hitting him and that
• 1:13:30
  really took that really, you know, took top and a shout. She
• 1:13:34
  finished with twenty eight points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and four steals,
• 1:13:40
  and I mean it's nearly a triple double. And what's really impressive about
• 1:13:45
  that was I think she had all eight assists in the first half and she
• 1:13:49
  was really getting the teammates involved, and all of those numbers are just a
• 1:13:55
  tick above her averages. So great game for her, and it's it's what's
• 1:14:02
  what's funny about is when I when I I watched the game The two things
• 1:14:05
  that I'll remember the most were Laney Kimball went off. She had like six
• 1:14:11
  steals, eighteen points, she blocked that shot, she hit the left handed
• 1:14:14
  shot, and Kaylie Anderson hitting four threes in key moments. And so I
• 1:14:19
  was like determining between those two players. And then you look at the you
• 1:14:23
  know, you look at all the stats I did, and I'm like,
• 1:14:25
  oh, my goodness, twenty eight nine, eight and four. Like it
• 1:14:29
  didn't register to me during the game, you know it because it was just
• 1:14:31
  so not matter of facts, but so it came so I don't even want
• 1:14:36
  to say it came easy to her, but it just it just you know,
• 1:14:41
  it's what she does, is what I'm saying, and and and it
• 1:14:44
  uh, it's it's impressive to watch her and and uh, I know everyone
• 1:14:48
  in Walking County already knows that and has already seen her, and uh,
• 1:14:51
  but uh, to see her in person at the high school level. This
• 1:14:55
  will be it at the Yakua Sun Dome. So I'm glad, I'm I'm
• 1:14:58
  glad we're doing this podcast and it will be out so people that are driving
• 1:15:00
  over can listen to it. I think it's gonna I think it'll I think
• 1:15:04
  that'll be a good thing for people because it's gonna be a long, snowy
• 1:15:08
  ride over that pass, so it'll be it'll be a good thing to listen
• 1:15:11
  to. How about the Anytime Fitness Boys Basketball Player of the Week again,
• 1:15:16
  same thing you got, you got three games and you're just kind of looking
• 1:15:19
  at it. And and another multiple time winner, Anthony Canalis from Lyndon.
• 1:15:26
  It's just hard not to give it to him for a couple of reasons.
• 1:15:29
  Going off for thirty five points, uh was really really impressive, and he
• 1:15:33
  had he had a he had some dunks in the game and some three pointers
• 1:15:36
  and he is the complete player. But breaking these schools all time scoring record
• 1:15:42
  is just an added bonus to that. And it's just so impressed. Christian
• 1:15:45
  Zamora, who held that record, he had didn't hold it for too long.
• 1:15:48
  He just graduated a handful of years ago. Uh. And I think
• 1:15:53
  it was Eric Peterson that had that record since the eighties. Uh, he
• 1:15:57
  had it for a long long time. But uh uh, just you think
• 1:16:00
  about all the players in Lindon's history and and the Derrick Crofts and the Howard
• 1:16:04
  Heppner's and just so many great players that they've had and to be the all
• 1:16:13
  time leading scorer, says an awful lot. Anthony Canalis. Uh, just
• 1:16:17
  a fantastic player and he had a great game. Anytime Fitness Basketball Player of
• 1:16:23
  the Week. Even I know the name Derrick Kroft Tyler, Yeah, well
• 1:16:26
  there you go. His son was and Jaden Yeah yeah, I don't think
• 1:16:31
  he won a state championship, but then he ended up going to UH Central
• 1:16:38
  and then he ended up at University of British Columbia and uh now he's like
• 1:16:43
  an entrepreneur down in southern California. He's crazy guy, but he's hilarious and
• 1:16:48
  uh he's also it's Sid Aten's grandson. Is who it is? Jaden Croft
• 1:16:57
  is? So anyway, anyway, let's see here that's the Anytime Fitness Basketball
• 1:17:02
  Players of the Week Tyler. We need to talk about the upcoming games.
• 1:17:05
  And it's a little tough to talk about upcoming games because we only got one
• 1:17:11
  game that we know of right now for sure happening. Well, we know
• 1:17:14
  that everybody's gonna get a game, but we only know of one matchup.
• 1:17:16
  We only know of one game that has two teams so far, and that
• 1:17:21

• 1:17:25

  three losses, two of them to Columbia River, one to WF West and
• 1:18:06
  then Columbia River. They are eighteen and seven on the season. They have
• 1:18:11
  a couple of losses to some four A Schools Union in Skyview, and then
• 1:18:15
  they have some out of state losses that I assume was one of those tournaments
• 1:18:20
  down in California or something. Actually two games, so it might have been
• 1:18:27
  one of the tournaments in the Portland area. Portland. That's big time teams.
• 1:18:31
  Yeah, yeah. And then they lost a couple of games, one
• 1:18:33
  to Hudson's Bay and then they lost their last two games one to WF West,
• 1:18:41
  one to Ellensburg, who everybody loses to Ellensburg, so you take that
• 1:18:45
  one for what it is. But yeah, So that is Thursday two pm.
• 1:18:50
  Lyndon will take on the winner of Ridgefield Columbia River. Also on Thursday
• 1:18:57
  five thirty pm in the one A side, number one, Nuksack Valley will
• 1:19:00
  take on the winner of number ten Seattle Academy and number seven Bellevue Christian.
• 1:19:06
  Seattle Academy fifteen and nine on the season, and Bellevue Christian they are twenty
• 1:19:12
  two and two their two losses to Squalicum and last week to Deer Park.
• 1:19:18
  So yeah, Bellevue Christian team they are. I mean, it's I don't
• 1:19:25
  care who you are going. Twenty two and two is at least somewhat impressive,
• 1:19:28
  no matter what way you go about it. The final game that we
• 1:19:31
  know of so far Thursday seven to fifteen pm. So right after that Nuksack
• 1:19:38
  Valley game, Lynden Christian the number three seed taking on either Eatonville the thirteen
• 1:19:43
  or Kings the number four Kings sixteen and ten on the season Eatonville sixteen and
• 1:19:48
  five on the season. How the heck do they play five more games.
• 1:19:51
  That's a lot of games. Yeah, I'm sure they played a tournament that
• 1:19:54
  wasn't registered, you know SEO and played those three games in the Portland tournament
• 1:19:58
  and those were not Those are not You can't find those on WIAA at all.
• 1:20:01
  Ah, look at you, a little uh little uh like investigative reporting
• 1:20:08
  over there. Come on, guys, get your stuff together, let's go.
• 1:20:11
  Yeah. Well, you know, I wonder if that's a WIAA thing
• 1:20:15
  or I wonder if, like I wonder if the schools are like required to
• 1:20:17
  put that in you know what I mean. I mean, I don't know.
• 1:20:21
  Yeah, I think they just take it off Max Preps, and the
• 1:20:25
  max Preps takes it off this, and this takes it off that, and
• 1:20:27
  it's just like okay, yeah, that could be find out what's really going
• 1:20:30
  on. Well, and we all know max Preps is the most reliable website
• 1:20:32
  in the history of high school athletics. Somebody came up to me and it's
• 1:20:35
  like walk the Preps and I was like yeah, And then they said,
• 1:20:39
  is it like affiliated with max Preps And I was like, Jesus, I
• 1:20:42
  hope not. Like you know, I'm like, I don't want to be
• 1:20:45
  affiliate with them. I mean, yeah, everyone goes there and blah blah
• 1:20:48
  blah, but it's pretty inconsistent, Tyler. The only time I've ever wanted
• 1:20:54
  to punch somebody. All right, let's talk the boys side, Tyler.
• 1:20:57
  Now, there is a Wednesday game, as we mentioned, one game where
• 1:21:00
  we know who. The two teams are. Number ten Meridian Trojans White Hot
• 1:21:04
  right now playing the number seven Seaton Catholic Cougars, who, Tyler, you
• 1:21:11
  said you saw last weekend. They're seventeen and six on the season. They
• 1:21:15
  had not lost a game this year, well this calendar year, yeah,
• 1:21:21
  twenty twenty four. Their last loss was to Zilla on December twenty ninth,
• 1:21:28
  until they lost over the weekend to Lynden Christians. So a team that had
• 1:21:31
  been incredibly hot. That being said, all of those games came within their
• 1:21:36
  league, so you take that for what it is. But that being said
• 1:21:41
  here, Tyler, they will take on Meridian. The winner of that game
• 1:21:47
  will move on. The loser. You're headed home. So if Meridian goes
• 1:21:51
  over and they don't win, they're coming right back across that pass. Let's
• 1:21:55
  hope they stay a couple of days. Meridian. They are headed over there.
• 1:22:00
  If they win, they will then move on Thursday ten thirty am again
• 1:22:05
  and they will play the number one ranked Zilla Leopards twenty four and zero on
• 1:22:12
  the season, and they have beaten Seaton Catholic, and they have beaten Lindon
• 1:22:16
  of all teams seventy to sixty five earlier this year and they had the Yeah,
• 1:22:23
  and Tyler they did beat They beat Prosser as well, a team that
• 1:22:26
  you saw at least a little bit of They beat them eighty five eighty so
• 1:22:30
  and you know, Tyler Zilla is kind of like the Royal of basketball,
• 1:22:36
  right, like the I mean, they're always there, They're always very good,
• 1:22:42
  and it's almost a surprise when they don't win, you know what I
• 1:22:45
  mean, Like it just is that's kind of the way things go. I
• 1:22:48
  remember one year, Tyler, they had a young man his name was Brady
• 1:22:54
  Widner. He was the one a state player in football and basketball, which
• 1:23:00
  is unbelievable, Like that's really really hard to do. I don't I don't
• 1:23:06
  know how many times that's happened in this state, but I can't imagine it's
• 1:23:11
  very many because usually if a guy is the you know, state player of
• 1:23:15
  the year in football and he plays basketball, he's probably like the fourth or
• 1:23:20
  fifth best guy on the team. Yeah, you know what I mean,
• 1:23:23
  it's never usually the guy, you know, I mean like Anthony Canalis.
• 1:23:28
  Could you imagine him going over and being the you know, the best football
• 1:23:30
  Actually, you know what, Brent Hepper might have a shot next year.
• 1:23:33
  I was, yeah, I was just gonna say, I'm trying to rack
• 1:23:36
  my brain and think of guys. Gregdikster comes to mind. He was a
• 1:23:42
  year behind me. They won the state title in football and I think they
• 1:23:46
  got third in basketball, and he ended up playing both. At Western.
• 1:23:54
  He was their all time leading receiver, Like he broke this record school history
• 1:23:58
  and receiver and I mean it just and then his younger brother Grant went to
• 1:24:01
  Western and became their all time leading scorer. And I mean it's yeah,
• 1:24:09
  it's just crazy. But I was looking at their looking at the Zilla roster
• 1:24:15
  right now. Yeah, six seven six' five six six six five six
• 1:24:18
  two six three six one six foot I mean, good god. Actually their
• 1:24:25
  shortest player is five to nine. They only have they only have one,
• 1:24:31
  two, three. They only have four guys under six feet and and two
• 1:24:38
  of them are six or excuse me, two of them are five ten.
• 1:24:41
  One of them's five eleven, the other one's five to nine. I mean
• 1:24:44
  Meridians kind of like that too. They don't and Elsie. I don't think
• 1:24:47
  Elsie has a player under six feet. Wow. But they grow them tall
• 1:24:53
  out there. But but yeah, really tall. Yeah. A place that
• 1:24:56
  has a teapot kettle for like a gas stagent or something. It's crazy.
• 1:25:01
  At one point, Tyler, I was the mayor of Zilla. It was
• 1:25:04
  a thing. I don't know if I ever told you that story. I
• 1:25:09
  wrote it. I wrote an article about Zilla, about one of their players,
• 1:25:13
  and he mentioned all of his teammates and everything, and I put the
• 1:25:16
  article up on the website, and it like shut our website down, like
• 1:25:20
  we had like problems because there were so many people viewing it. Nice.
• 1:25:24
  And then I went to a game out there and they like gave me some
• 1:25:28
  free T shirts, a sweatshirt, a hat. They gave me like a
• 1:25:30
  free rack of ribs, a half chicken, like I was eating a ton
• 1:25:34
  of food. I was like full beyond belief. And somebody cracked a joke
• 1:25:40
  and was just like, man, you could run from mayor. And so
• 1:25:41
  then I was like, okay, well, I mean I never did it,
• 1:25:44
  but basically they started calling me the mayor of Zilla. It was wild
• 1:25:47
  that being said, Tyler, that's Meridians path right now. They have to
• 1:25:53
  win on Wednesday to stay alive. Yeah. Thursday, two pm Lynden Christian
• 1:26:01
  number two seed, they will take on the winner of Kings the number nine
• 1:26:05
  and Tennino the number eight Kings the boys side. They are sixteen and eight
• 1:26:11
  on the season, Tenino sixteen and seven on the season, So two teams
• 1:26:15
  that are very even, and I mean being the eight and nine seeds,
• 1:26:18
  I guess sure, Yeah makes sense. Thursday, also five thirty pm,
• 1:26:24
  Number one Linden, they will take on the winner of number ten Samamish and
• 1:26:29
  number seven Rogers out of Spokane. Samamish is out of Bellevue, really close
• 1:26:33
  to my house. Eighteen and eight on the season for the Samamish RedHawks and
• 1:26:39
  then the Rogers Pirates they are sixteen and six on the season. So again
• 1:26:44
  two teams that are very even. But yeah, I mean, when you
• 1:26:47
  look at it, Tyler, it's one of those things where you feel really
• 1:26:53
  confident that you know, walk them. County's going to be bringing home some
• 1:26:57
  hardware. And when I say hardware, I'm talking any type of thing here.
• 1:27:00
  I mean, we're we're talking. You could have multiple trophies from both
• 1:27:05
  sides coming home. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's a possibility.
• 1:27:10
  There could be, you know, four state championships, and I'm just saying,
• 1:27:14
  yeah, if that happens, I have to get a picture with all
• 1:27:18
  four trophies. That would be wild. I'd love to just sit there with
• 1:27:23
  my hands up and four trophies sitting around me. I'd i'd feel like shack.
• 1:27:27
  You know, hey, would you put your four hands up like like
• 1:27:30
  four horsemen? Oh yeah, now we're talking. Now we're talking. Yeah,
• 1:27:35
  so you should dress like Arn Anderson and do it my uncle Arn,
• 1:27:41
  my uncle Arn. I didn't even think about it when I said Arn Anderson,
• 1:27:44
  I just picked one guy. Oh man. But it's you're right,
• 1:27:47
  there's it's a possibility. I mean, some things have to go right,
• 1:27:50
  obviously. But but when I say hardware too, I'm talking like even though
• 1:27:56
  you third place, thing like absolutely there will be Yeah, I think so,
• 1:27:59
  I'm I mean, it's just it's it's really cool and obviously, I
• 1:28:03
  mean, okay, so you and I, you and I talked about it
• 1:28:05
  before the team's playing on Thursday. All they have to do is basically win
• 1:28:10
  once and they're gonna get something, right, I think is what we determined.
• 1:28:15
  Yeah, at the plays that are that, yeah exactly. If you're
• 1:28:16
  playing on Thursday and you win once, yeah, yeah, and you're guaranteed
• 1:28:20
  at best seventh right one five, sixth, that would be sixth, yeah,
• 1:28:28
  sixth, yeah, yeah, whatever it is. Either way, we're
• 1:28:30
  feeling pretty good about some things here. And I'll tell you what, Tyler,
• 1:28:33
  you are in I mean, you're in for it like you are,
• 1:28:38
  You're get You're headed over what Tuesday you said Tuesday? I'm going over.
• 1:28:43
  I am borrowing miss walkin preps is mother's four wheel drive jeep. And just
• 1:28:49
  in case it gets a little hairy up there at the past, you got
• 1:28:53
  like a ladder to get up in that thing or what? Yeah, I
• 1:28:58
  think I'll be all right. I gotta I could. I'll get a ole
• 1:29:00
  vault. You don't how to say, like hopp into the car like you're
• 1:29:03
  gonna have to oh yeah literally yeah yeah. And Tyler, you did it
• 1:29:08
  over early, which means you could go to majors on Tuesday night that that
• 1:29:12
  could happen. Uh yeah, And I I'm excited. It's uh, now
• 1:29:17
  that I've been to the Sundome before, I don't feel so nervous about it.
• 1:29:23
  But it's gonna be great. And you know, I you know,
• 1:29:27
  I remember like Eric Trent doing that post a few years ago. He was
• 1:29:30
  like, you know whatever, he said, you know, forty eight hours
• 1:29:34
  of basketball and yeah, six hours of sleep and my my season's over or
• 1:29:41
  whatever, and he was, and he's just and I'll never miss it,
• 1:29:43
  you knowever, I hope he's there. That'd be great to see him.
• 1:29:46
  But it's gonna be It's gonna be fun. I haven't been to the basketball
• 1:29:50
  State Tournament in twenty nine years. Wow. Last time I went, it
• 1:29:55
  was at the Tacoma Dome. I was I was a sophomore in the band
• 1:29:59
  and that and and you know, and Baker boys and girls were both there
• 1:30:02
  and and and it was they were both lasted the first two days and that
• 1:30:08
  was it. And that was you know, that was the last time I
• 1:30:12
  went. So I'm really excited. And it's gonna be a lot of whistles
• 1:30:17
  and sneakers and you know all that, all those basketball sounds. But the
• 1:30:21
  great thing is that there's a great possibility of some big time games being played
• 1:30:27
  on Saturday, and I'm really excited about that. Now, Tyler, let's
• 1:30:30
  uh so Miners or excuse me, majors. That's where we want everybody to
• 1:30:36
  go to eat burgers. Everybody always seems to want to go to Miners.
• 1:30:41
  I'm telling you that's like, that's like going to Philly and going to Patent
• 1:30:45
  Geno's right, that's the one that everybody talks about. But that's not where
• 1:30:47
  you want to go. You want to go to John's Rose Pork. Now
• 1:30:50
  Here in Yakama. You want to go to Majors. And there's two of
• 1:30:54
  them and they're both within driving they're they're not far from the Sundow Majors.
• 1:30:59
  That's the place to go now. I'm also gonna tell you, Tyler,
• 1:31:01
  and you and I were talking the other day. Doldgit they got raising canes
• 1:31:05
  over there. Yeah, oh baby, let me tell you about raising canes.
• 1:31:10
  Those chicken fingers and the caneac canniac combo and the sauce unbelievable. There's
• 1:31:15
  also another place, Tyler, and I believe I could be wrong here.
• 1:31:19
  I believe Eric Trenn is a fan. Oh yes, I know what you're
• 1:31:24
  talking about Los Hernandez to Molly's. Yes, he sets that place down.
• 1:31:30
  Yeah, that place is unbelievable. If you're now, excuse me, Tyler,
• 1:31:35
  where you're staying. Los Hernandez Tomali's only a couple of minutes down the
• 1:31:40
  road. Oh perfect, if they're from the sun. If they're at the
• 1:31:43
  sun. Actually, Los Hernandez Tomali's might be closer to where you're staying than
• 1:31:46
  even Majors is Minors, that's right next door. Yawn, that being said
• 1:31:51
  Tyler Los Hernandez to Molly's. My goodness, so good. I'm just excited
• 1:31:59
  because you're getting choked up of it. No, I just know that you're
• 1:32:02
  gonna go. You're gonna make your way to Major's at some point. I
• 1:32:05
  just know you are, because you can't let me down. You just you
• 1:32:09
  can't. You did it during volleyball. That was an honest mistake. I
• 1:32:13
  could have sworn you said, I'm dead serious, but you know when you
• 1:32:15
  know my number, well that's what I think I was. So I was
• 1:32:20
  so dead set that it was miners that I was so proud of myself for
• 1:32:25
  stopping there taking the picture, and then you were like, what are you
• 1:32:29
  doing? And I'm like, yeah, I about fell off my couch.
• 1:32:31
  Tyler. Here's the thing everybody thinks miners is like, so the one thing
• 1:32:36
  everybody tells me, well, you know, coaches eat free. That's their
• 1:32:40
  big thing. Coaches. If you bring the team in, the coaches get
• 1:32:43
  free food. Guess what happens at Majors. Same thing, Yeah, same
• 1:32:49
  thing. If you go there and you bring it, and you bring the
• 1:32:51
  basketball team through, and and the basketball team's all getting food, the coaches
• 1:32:55
  you for free. That's that's one of their things. And part of the
• 1:32:58
  reason is is because the family that owns Majors their son played at Zilla.
• 1:33:02
  They're the family, Tyler. Do you know the name doctor Dan dorn Ink.
• 1:33:08
  They're related, They're related. It's it's a fit. Majors go to
• 1:33:13
  Majors, Get yourself the home run burger, get yourself. Oh what do
• 1:33:16
  they call their crazy thing? It's Oh, I'll have to tell you later
• 1:33:23
  because I can't. I probably can't look it up all the you know fast
• 1:33:25
  enough. But they have they have these like I don't know what they are,
• 1:33:30
  milkshake type thingies, and oh man, are they good? Oh,
• 1:33:35
  Tyler, I'm getting hungry. And it's eleven fifteen at night. I'm over
• 1:33:40
  here just sweating bullets, just getting hungry, and oh, I just I
• 1:33:44
  want food. Are we done got any I think we're good. I think
• 1:33:49
  we went long enough to people can enjoy it. On the we went way
• 1:33:53
  drive over. Yeah, and I think I think it's a good thing.
• 1:33:56
  I mean it was we went heavy on this, and and I I'm excited.
• 1:34:00
  You know, there's a lot of people that are happy that I'm going
• 1:34:03
  over there, and and uh, I'm excited to see everybody over there,
• 1:34:06
  and and maybe I'll see them at Miners. And I'm just kidding. I'm
• 1:34:12
  just kidding. I'm just Tyler. I about put my fist through my computer.
• 1:34:16
  Yeah, I just about did it, Tyler. Yeah. And but
• 1:34:20
  I tell you what, one thing I was glad about going to Miners last
• 1:34:25
  time was that I happened to see a Krispy Kreme right across the street.
• 1:34:29
  And and Miss Walking Preps is a big time Krispy Kreme fan, and and
• 1:34:34
  it was a great surprise to grab some of those and bring them home.
• 1:34:39
  And she was Prettyler, Tyler, hold on a second, hair, you
• 1:34:42
  know, you don't need to get them over there. They have they have
• 1:34:44
  Krispy Kreme on your way home. Well I know that, but I'm just
• 1:34:46
  saying that, like, like they don't have them in Walking County, but
• 1:34:49
  they is Aqua, so it's not you know what I'm saying, like they
• 1:34:53
  won't sit as long. I get it, but you know what I mean,
• 1:34:57
  I just I don't see them very often. And it was a it
• 1:35:00
  was a cool thing and we're I'm like, it was a surprise, and
• 1:35:01
  holy count I know you're also the guy that gets excited for in and out.
• 1:35:05
  Yeah, that's true. Guilty over here to punch myself in the forehead.
• 1:35:11
  Tyler. All right, let's wrap it up. What do you say?
