0:50
Speaker 1: 20-12 road win there. um yeah you watched the game
0:54
Speaker 1: a little bit online uh what'd you see in that one.
0:57
Speaker 2: You know when i got there uh at at halftime
0:59
Speaker 2: i had dinner in front of the tv and watched
1:03
Speaker 2: a second half football game and it was a shutout
1:05
Speaker 2: game both sides it was uh 20 uh to 12
1:08
Speaker 2: already by half but uh just just like you said
1:11
Speaker 2: hard fought um arlington's good football program and a good
1:15
Speaker 2: team and they were they were physical and big and
1:17
Speaker 2: uh we matched it it was kind of fun to
1:19
Speaker 2: see and just when you think we're going to give
1:22
Speaker 2: up a score and they're going to go for two,
1:24
Speaker 2: we stop them. And then you look at the other
1:27
Speaker 2: side and we're about to score and they stop us. So,
1:30
Speaker 2: like you said, hard fought, good high school football, you know,
1:35
Speaker 2: seen and played. And, again, as a head coach looking
1:38
Speaker 2: down at our younger programs, really proud of what they're doing.
1:43
Speaker 1: On Monday night, the JV Cougs got a 22-6 win
1:46
Speaker 1: on the road at North Creek Touchdowns. from Aiden Leonard,
1:49
Speaker 1: Evan Terry, and Blake Reed. A couple of two-point conversions
1:53
Speaker 1: as well. One from Evan Terry, one from Tillman Hutton.
1:56
Speaker 1: A forced fumble from Gavin Nicholson, and a fumble recovery
2:00
Speaker 1: by Dalton Tatchell. Just a lot of guys getting touches here,
2:03
Speaker 1: a lot of guys doing different things, and the JV
2:06
Speaker 1: life just kind of continues to roll right now.
2:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's like the old days. When I
2:12
Speaker 2: got here, only seniors played varsity and some juniors. Sophomores
2:16
Speaker 2: played sophomore football. the, the changes, the expectation as you
2:20
Speaker 2: play as a freshman and a sophomore and a good programs, you,
2:23
Speaker 2: it means that there are not enough juniors and seniors.
2:25
Speaker 2: And so, uh, we've got a really good young group of,
2:28
Speaker 2: of men who are, are getting better each and every week.
2:31
Speaker 2: And they're, they're, they're, they're, you know, just doing what they,
2:34
Speaker 2: what they should be doing and having fun, I hope. And, and,
2:37
Speaker 2: you know, running around and, and, uh, you know, it
2:41
Speaker 2: was fun to watch. I got there at halftime again and, uh,
2:44
Speaker 2: just before half and, um, uh, they were, uh, We
2:48
Speaker 2: look good out there. We look like we're having fun.
2:52
Speaker 2: We run around. We're executing offensively and defensively. We gave
2:56
Speaker 2: up a late touchdown. Other than that, we played really
3:00
Speaker 2: good football and it was fun to see a lot
3:02
Speaker 2: of kids in there.
3:04
Speaker 1: Let's move on and head towards the North Creek game.
3:08
Speaker 1: Right before the North Creek game, we had a special
3:10
Speaker 1: guest up in the booth to pull the horn like
3:12
Speaker 1: we do at all home games now. It's somebody that's
3:16
Speaker 1: very special to you Donna Tayo she spent 43 years
3:20
Speaker 1: in education 22 years specifically at Bothell yeah and if
3:26
Speaker 1: you want to read more about Donna we've got some
3:29
Speaker 1: stuff up a link you can find the picture of
3:32
Speaker 1: her on social media and then that'll show you how
3:35
Speaker 1: to get to the link to read more about her
3:37
Speaker 1: just somebody that I think the way I described it
3:43
Speaker 1: online was one of the biggest advocates for education-based athletics
3:49
Speaker 1: that you're going to find. Yeah.
3:51
Speaker 2: She was the athletic director when I was hired here
3:53
Speaker 2: in 2000. A lot of things I admire about Donna Tayo.
3:58
Speaker 2: She's in it for the kids. She helps everyone. Her
4:03
Speaker 2: outlook is always optimistic. You would say, come up with
4:07
Speaker 2: an idea that maybe hasn't been done or probably can't
4:10
Speaker 2: get done, but she wouldn't say no. She would say,
4:12
Speaker 2: let's you know, exhaust every avenue to see if we
4:15
Speaker 2: can make it happen. And wonderful support. Great for kids, for,
4:20
Speaker 2: you know, other teachers, for, you know, everyone. Just, you know,
4:26
Speaker 2: I've done this a long time. One of my favorite
4:27
Speaker 2: people in this business. And so it was super fun
4:31
Speaker 2: to see her up there. It was one of the
4:32
Speaker 2: greatest whistle pulls ever. I mean, you know, I thought
4:35
Speaker 2: it was stuck on on for a minute and it
4:38
Speaker 2: was really great. Now, if you knew the history of
4:41
Speaker 2: we were at an Arlington football game a number of
4:43
Speaker 2: years ago scouting, and they blew this train whistle, and
4:47
Speaker 2: we were called the Blue Train, and I went to Donna, and,
4:51
Speaker 2: you know, her attitude is, well, let's research it. Let's
4:56
Speaker 2: find out how can we get that whistle here, and
4:58
Speaker 2: so Mike Dale and I, and she went up to,
5:02
Speaker 2: you know, Arlington, where Kurt Crescione was the principal at
5:05
Speaker 2: the time, and We heard it. Mike Dale bought it,
5:09
Speaker 2: installed it, or found it, installed it. The district bought it.
5:12
Speaker 2: It's been a great piece to Bothell football. It's just
5:16
Speaker 2: a small example of what she will do to try
5:18
Speaker 2: to make it the best wherever she is.
5:22
Speaker 1: There was a game a couple of weeks ago. I
5:23
Speaker 1: don't remember specifically which game, but I remember seeing on
5:27
Speaker 1: social media somebody commenting on the game day post, and
5:31
Speaker 1: it said, hey, I've heard the train horn a bunch tonight.
5:34
Speaker 1: Does anybody know the score? And I was like, that
5:36
Speaker 1: is so cool. They're hearing the horn going, wow, Bothell's
5:39
Speaker 1: really kicking butt down there. They're scoring a lot of points.
5:43
Speaker 1: Another one, too, though, with Donna is, you know, I
5:46
Speaker 1: post about her, and the amount of comments that we've
5:48
Speaker 1: had of people saying how great it was to see
5:51
Speaker 1: her and, you know, just even to see her picture
5:54
Speaker 1: that we posted, how many people had just so many
5:57
Speaker 1: great things. And, frankly, we would be– I don't know
6:01
Speaker 1: if the word I'm looking for is we'd be selling
6:03
Speaker 1: it short if we didn't even mention the fact that
6:05
Speaker 1: she's a 2023 inductee into the WIAA Hall of Fame,
6:09
Speaker 1: which is incredible. I mean, that is arguably the highest
6:13
Speaker 1: honor you can get as far as in this state,
6:17
Speaker 1: at least. So definitely cool to have her. And she
6:20
Speaker 1: was really, really excited to be doing it. So it
6:22
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. Let's talk about the game itself.
6:25
Speaker 1: 48-28 win versus North Creek on Friday night, senior night
6:29
Speaker 1: and homecoming going off all at once. You know, first off,
6:32
Speaker 1: I just want to mention it was an incredible atmosphere.
6:35
Speaker 1: The student section was really going nuts. Two sections of students.
6:40
Speaker 1: The band was crazy. Just an incredible atmosphere. It really
6:44
Speaker 1: is at Pop Keeney. You know, we kind of come
6:46
Speaker 1: to expect it almost at this point, but it never
6:49
Speaker 1: gets old. I'll just say that. Coach, just speaking from
6:52
Speaker 1: your standpoint, you ever get a chance to just kind
6:54
Speaker 1: of stand up and just look around and kind of
6:57
Speaker 1: take it.
6:57
Speaker 2: In a little bit? You know, I do. You know,
7:00
Speaker 2: you do it in the National Anthem in the beginning
7:02
Speaker 2: of the game, you kind of, you know, there was
7:04
Speaker 2: a color guard, so you're looking across the field, and
7:07
Speaker 2: their stands weren't full at first. Ours were pretty packed,
7:10
Speaker 2: but when you come out at halftime, and you know,
7:13
Speaker 2: you're jogging across the field, and you take it all in,
7:17
Speaker 2: and that's when I noticed the enormity of the attendance.
7:22
Speaker 1: It was huge.
7:23
Speaker 2: There were people standing along the fence lines, and both
7:26
Speaker 2: stands were full, and You know, it's a great atmosphere.
7:30
Speaker 2: And it takes two schools who have pride in their
7:34
Speaker 2: programs to fill it. And, you know, certainly had that
7:38
Speaker 2: on Friday. Yeah, North Creek had a really good student
7:41
Speaker 2: section as well. And they're kind of going back and
7:43
Speaker 2: forth at times.
7:44
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool. One thing I will say I miss, Coach,
7:46
Speaker 1: and I don't know about you, I miss a good
7:48
Speaker 1: old We Got Spirit chant. You remember those? They just
7:51
Speaker 1: go back and forth for like five minutes. We got spirit. Yes,
7:53
Speaker 1: we do. Let's talk about the game, though. Offensive side
7:56
Speaker 1: of the ball. Another really balanced attack. A lot of
7:59
Speaker 1: guys right now getting touches. Even got wide receivers throwing
8:03
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. On the night, 249 yards rushing, 240 yards passing,
8:09
Speaker 1: 23 carries, 19 pass attempts. The balance that we have
8:15
Speaker 1: right now, did you see that maybe potentially being a thing?
8:19
Speaker 1: Because last year it was maybe a little more run heavy. Yeah,
8:23
Speaker 1: you never know.
8:25
Speaker 2: What your strengths are going to be until you get
8:27
Speaker 2: into different personnel groups and you find out who kind
8:30
Speaker 2: of steps up. We have a lot of guys stepping up.
8:33
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, our quarterback play is really, really good
8:36
Speaker 2: right now. One of our goals is to complete 60%
8:39
Speaker 2: of our passes and we've done it every week. We're
8:42
Speaker 2: usually in the 70s. Last week we were at 84%.
8:47
Speaker 2: That's phenomenal. We had five different players score touchdowns this week.
8:52
Speaker 2: We had five different Players scored touchdowns last week. And
8:55
Speaker 2: it's not that we're trying to call plays to get
8:57
Speaker 2: guys in the end zone. It's not that easy. It's
9:01
Speaker 2: kids making plays when their number's called. And it's just
9:05
Speaker 2: been fun to see and fun to be a part of.
9:07
Speaker 2: And we'll just continue to try to give or take
9:12
Speaker 2: what the defense gives. And we've got enough guys to
9:14
Speaker 2: make that work. So it's been fun.
9:17
Speaker 1: I could be wrong here, but I believe It would
9:20
Speaker 1: be touchdowns from Griffin Taylor and Colton Bryan, their first
9:23
Speaker 1: varsity touchdowns, I believe, on senior night. So that's a
9:25
Speaker 1: really cool thing. Also, just speaking to the balance, eight
9:29
Speaker 1: rushing first downs, eight passing first downs. That's kind of
9:33
Speaker 1: tough to do as well. Also, I thought it was
9:36
Speaker 1: really cool seeing how many seniors got into the game,
9:40
Speaker 1: you know, a Roan making a tackle. And when I
9:43
Speaker 1: announced his name, the whole place just goes absolutely bonkers.
9:45
Speaker 1: It was just, it was really, really cool to see. Yeah.
9:48
Speaker 2: You know, we, You know, people don't understand, like a
9:54
Speaker 2: football program does, about playing time and scores and all that.
9:57
Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is, we'll always do it.
10:00
Speaker 2: what we believe is best for our football program and kids.
10:04
Speaker 2: We have a philosophy if we can get into the game,
10:09
Speaker 2: we go to twos and threes or whatnot. On senior
10:12
Speaker 2: night it's different. If a senior is a three and
10:15
Speaker 2: a underclassmen's a two. We will bump the senior to
10:18
Speaker 2: get into the game for a senior homecoming game. And
10:21
Speaker 2: so we were able to do that. That was a blast.
10:23
Speaker 2: We got a lot of kids in. And it was
10:26
Speaker 2: a fun game on Friday night, for sure.
10:29
Speaker 1: Defensive side of the ball, 28 points, maybe more than
10:32
Speaker 1: you want to give up. Seven of them come on,
10:35
Speaker 1: I think, the third to last play of the game. Overall, though,
10:38
Speaker 1: effort looks pretty good. definitely some things to work on
10:42
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, but defensively, let's talk
10:44
Speaker 1: about where we can get better maybe on the defensive side.
10:47
Speaker 2: Well, let's start off with giving North Creek some credit.
10:50
Speaker 2: They have some athletes. Their quarterback is a fabulous thrower.
10:53
Speaker 2: He's got great accuracy. They're a guy who goes in
10:56
Speaker 2: at quarterback at times and is a receiver. McGill, he's
11:00
Speaker 2: a tremendous athlete. He's in the top in the league.
11:04
Speaker 2: He's got great feet, great hands. He's playing on a
11:07
Speaker 2: hurt ankle, and he's a tough kid, and he's making
11:09
Speaker 2: great catches, and And, uh, you know, they got big linemen,
11:12
Speaker 2: they got a running back. Number one is a player.
11:15
Speaker 2: That kid can play football and they've got linebackers who
11:18
Speaker 2: run after you. I thought their schemes were really good.
11:20
Speaker 2: I thought they, I thought the coaching staff did a
11:23
Speaker 2: good job of attacking some, some places on the field
11:26
Speaker 2: that maybe we weren't sound. And, and, um, you know, uh,
11:29
Speaker 2: you know, it all starts with the other guys, you know, it's, it's, uh, they're, they're,
11:33
Speaker 2: they're talented and they, they did a great job, especially
11:36
Speaker 2: in that first half. And, You know, I'll tell you this.
11:39
Speaker 2: We made some adjustments in the second half that I
11:41
Speaker 2: think helped us. We gave up a couple of long
11:43
Speaker 2: plays in the game, which, you know, is not normal
11:47
Speaker 2: for us. But, you know, I think it comes back
11:50
Speaker 2: to just doing your job. We had some communication errors.
11:54
Speaker 2: We didn't talk very well at times, and we weren't
11:56
Speaker 2: all on the same page. And I think it starts
11:58
Speaker 2: with making sure that before the ball snapped, we're all
12:01
Speaker 2: on the same page and we're doing the same thing.
12:03
Speaker 1: Again, 48-28 win over North Creek. Let's talk players of
12:07
Speaker 1: the week, and they are brought to you by Steve
12:09
Speaker 1: Breda and Dave Mercer of Team Breda Real Estate, who
12:11

12:15
Speaker 1: or give Steve a call at 206-295-9909. Team Breda, your
12:20
Speaker 1: Bothell real estate experts since 1977. Steve and Dave also
12:23
Speaker 1: have awesome partners in this, as Alexis Cafe and Passion Tequila,
12:27
Speaker 1: two of Bothell's favorite restaurants, have agreed to donate gift
12:30
Speaker 1: cards to these athletes. On the offensive side of the ball,
12:33
Speaker 1: Matt Small, 15 of 18, 180 yards, two touchdowns, you
12:38
Speaker 1: kind of mentioned it, you know, just kind of being
12:40
Speaker 1: efficient and the completion percentage is very high and really
12:45
Speaker 1: just kind of doing some really nice things right now.
12:48
Speaker 2: You know, you look at his three incompletions, right? I
12:51
Speaker 2: know I'm focusing on the negative, but, you know, one
12:54
Speaker 2: of them is a new play we put in this
12:56
Speaker 2: week to try to trick him a little bit, and
12:58
Speaker 2: North Creek defended it very well. And Matt, with great poise,
13:01
Speaker 2: you know, threw the ball out of bounds and over
13:03
Speaker 2: a player's head so we didn't take a sack. So
13:05
Speaker 2: that's an excellent play. He gets hit on the first pass.
13:09
Speaker 2: You know, we mess up a pass protection, and they
13:13
Speaker 2: send a guy through a gap uncovered, and he kind
13:15
Speaker 2: of hits our quarterback as we're throwing, so he's a
13:17
Speaker 2: little off there. And then another one's just well covered
13:20
Speaker 2: on the defense, and he throws it where we can
13:23
Speaker 2: get it and nobody else. So keeps us out of
13:25
Speaker 2: harm's way, does a wonderful job there. He's playing really
13:29
Speaker 2: good football right now, and his minuses that he gets are,
13:33
Speaker 2: you know, Little tiny things that sometimes don't even make
13:36
Speaker 2: a difference in the play. But great leader. He shows
13:41
Speaker 2: excitement on the field.
13:42
Speaker 1: We score.
13:43
Speaker 2: He's excited. He's doing a great job. Really proud of Matt.
13:47
Speaker 2: And couldn't be more happy with the way he's playing.
13:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, runs all the way down the field only to
13:52
Speaker 1: get rocked by Griffin Taylor in the end zone. But
13:56
Speaker 1: the excitement is awesome to see. Defensive side of the ball,
14:00
Speaker 1: Colton Bryan. Four tackles, two assisted tackles. Here's the thing, though.
14:04
Speaker 1: Those numbers don't sound huge, but it's so many things
14:06
Speaker 1: he is doing right now that maybe don't show up
14:08
Speaker 1: on the stat sheet that makes Colton the defensive player
14:11
Speaker 1: of the week.
14:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Coach Richard's constantly talking about the way
14:16
Speaker 2: this kid plays and improves. And you know, he's outside,
14:19
Speaker 2: he's inside. We give him a lot of responsibility, and
14:22
Speaker 2: he handles it very well. You know, he scored very
14:24
Speaker 2: high at his best offensive game, too. And on the
14:27
Speaker 2: offensive side, could have easily been the offensive player of
14:29
Speaker 2: the week as well. You know, this is the kid
14:32
Speaker 2: that if I need something done in the community because
14:35
Speaker 2: somebody out there needs help, he's the first one I'm
14:37
Speaker 2: going to. He's always all in. He does the right thing.
14:42
Speaker 2: He's a tireless worker and, you know, just really proud
14:47
Speaker 2: of him and the season he's having.
14:49
Speaker 1: Again, thank you to Steve and Dave of Team Breda
14:53
Speaker 1: Real Estate for their continued support of Bothell Athletics. Let's
14:56
Speaker 1: move on and talk about Lake Washington. The Kangaroos, 2-5
15:00
Speaker 1: on the season. Bothell and Lake Washington have met 59 times.
15:04
Speaker 1: Lake Washington leading the all-time series 26-31 in two ties.
15:09
Speaker 1: But this is an opponent that we have not played
15:11
Speaker 1: since 2009. Lake Washington went all the way down to
15:15
Speaker 1: 2A at one point. A couple of seasons ago came
15:17
Speaker 1: back up to 4A. So coach and opponent we haven't
15:20
Speaker 1: seen in a while and I'll start off by saying
15:23
Speaker 1: in offense that maybe we haven't seen in a while.
15:26
Speaker 1: They do a lot of things in the backfield and uh,
15:29
Speaker 1: I guess you, I mean, I don't know what you
15:30
Speaker 1: call it, a shotgun triple option type thing they got
15:33
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah.
15:34
Speaker 2: You know, they, they are, they've, they've had success, uh,
15:37
Speaker 2: as of late, their coaching staff does a great job.
15:40
Speaker 2: The kids play hard, you know, we're watching film and
15:42
Speaker 2: we're noticing, you know, how they attack the game and
15:45
Speaker 2: they get to the football and they, they block their
15:47
Speaker 2: tails off. And, you know, I, I just want to,
15:49
Speaker 2: you know, commend them on the job that they do.
15:51
Speaker 2: You know, they've lost four games by four points or less.
15:54
Speaker 2: And a couple of them, they let slip away in
15:56
Speaker 2: the end. And, um, probably the best two and five
16:00
Speaker 2: team in the state. Their offense is tricky. It's a
16:06
Speaker 2: combination of a couple of different offenses. They line up
16:10
Speaker 2: in a run and shoot kind of formation at times,
16:13
Speaker 2: but they run triple option and they overpower you with
16:16
Speaker 2: some sweep and you see a little bit of air
16:17
Speaker 2: force in them and they do some good things. They
16:21
Speaker 2: widen splits with guards and they put you in compromising
16:25
Speaker 2: positions and they've got a they've got a great running
16:28
Speaker 2: back over there. Who's, you know, up on the top
16:30
Speaker 2: two and the rushing and, and, uh, you know, he,
16:33
Speaker 2: I played with his dad up at Western. It was
16:35
Speaker 2: fun to run into him. And of course he's a
16:38
Speaker 2: great running back. His dad was too. And, and, uh,
16:40
Speaker 2: but the kid can block, he can tackle and he
16:42
Speaker 2: touches the ball when they need him to. And, and, uh, uh,
16:46
Speaker 2: you know, it's just going to be a challenge. Like,
16:48
Speaker 2: like it was for a lot of, a lot of people,
16:49
Speaker 2: they played Woodinville really well, lost 17, 14. They played, um,
16:54
Speaker 2: North Creek really well. And, and, uh, North Creek got
16:57
Speaker 2: them at the end. It's going to be another tough one.
17:01
Speaker 2: I think our focus has got to be on us again.
17:04
Speaker 2: Can we communicate better on the defensive side? You've got
17:06
Speaker 2: to play assignment football against an offense like this. We're
17:09
Speaker 2: going to have to get off the ball like we've
17:11
Speaker 2: been doing on offense and execute well and mix up
17:14
Speaker 2: the run and pass and try to fool them with
17:16
Speaker 2: sets and make it difficult on them. That's our challenge
17:19
Speaker 2: this week. I know our kids are up for it.
17:22
Speaker 2: I know we're up for it. We're looking forward We're
17:24
Speaker 2: looking forward to going to L-Dub. Like you said, it's
17:27
Speaker 2: been a long time. And so, you know, they're not
17:30
Speaker 2: too far from us. And I love the fact that
17:31
Speaker 2: we're playing these teams, again, that are close to us. And,
17:35
Speaker 2: you know, that helps with attendance. It helps with transportation costs.
17:38
Speaker 2: It helps with all those things.
17:39
Speaker 1: And you know what?
17:40
Speaker 2: Lake Washington's good. And it's going to be fun for
17:42
Speaker 2: us to go over there and battle them.
17:44
Speaker 1: Cougars and Kangaroos at 7 p.m. at Mack Field at
17:48
