- 0:47Speaker 1: great person and as yeah, I get the honor to
- 0:50Speaker 1: meet so many of these athletes and some of them
- 0:53Speaker 1: really stand out as just human beings that you just
- 0:56Speaker 1: know they're going to do something great after high school.
- 0:58Speaker 1: And she is one of those people. So thank you
- 1:02Speaker 1: very much to her for doing the intro. Also want
- 1:04Speaker 1: to thank Walton Beverage. They've been a staple in our

- 1:09Speaker 1: work harder every day to make the fantastic people a
- 1:12Speaker 1: Walton Beverage, proud to sponsor youth sports and our community.
- 1:16Speaker 1: They deliver superior quality and commitment, and I plan to
- 1:20Speaker 1: do the very same. All Right, a lot of stuff
- 1:23Speaker 1: to talk about here that happened this past week. Obviously
- 1:26Speaker 1: a lot of playoff stuff, districts things like that, and
- 1:29Speaker 1: we'll talk about kind of setting up for state for
- 1:32Speaker 1: almost every sports for track and field as they're still
- 1:35Speaker 1: going through some by districts and stuff like that coming up,
- 1:39Speaker 1: So very very exciting stuff. It gets It's interesting at
- 1:44Speaker 1: the end of spring because I just it's I started
- 1:49Speaker 1: to get worn down, you know, doing every sport every season,
- 1:53Speaker 1: and then when I know there's only a few weeks left,
- 1:56Speaker 1: it's kind of surreal to me. And and and it's
- 2:01Speaker 1: hard to see certain teams bowing out and knowing you're
- 2:04Speaker 1: not going to see certain athletes anymore. And I just
- 2:07Speaker 1: have to keep it together and keep plugging along knowing
- 2:10Speaker 1: that there is still sports to be played. So let's
- 2:13Speaker 1: talk about girls golf first. We're gonna go over what
- 2:17Speaker 1: happened at districts. I'm gonna start off in one A
- 2:21Speaker 1: where the Blaine Border rights were the district Champions with
- 2:24Speaker 1: a two day event out at North Bellingham Golf Course,
- 2:28Speaker 1: and so they did a great job. I mean they had,
- 2:32Speaker 1: you know, five out of the top seven golfers in
- 2:36Speaker 1: the district, so that's pretty impressive. The top five scores
- 2:42Speaker 1: are going on to state. In first place was Cali Tana, Meridian,
- 2:46Speaker 1: who shot a one sixty. This is over thirty six holes,
- 2:49Speaker 1: this is two days straight of golf. Number two was
- 2:51Speaker 1: Dallas Ranky of Meridian shot a one eighty nine. Number
- 2:55Speaker 1: three was Marcella Bring of Blaine who shot a one
- 2:57Speaker 1: ninety three. Number four was Sidney Airis of Blaine who
- 3:02Speaker 1: shot a two hundred, and the fifth was Hannah Phelps
- 3:04Speaker 1: MacDonald of Blaine who shot a two o two. So
- 3:07Speaker 1: congratulations to all of them going to state. The state
- 3:10Speaker 1: alternatives are Thora Engen of Blaine and Olivia Tanwakio of Blaine.
- 3:15Speaker 1: So and they were just a stroke or two behind
- 3:19Speaker 1: the fifth place finisher, so a lot of border rights
- 3:21Speaker 1: up there, which is really really cool to see. Rounding
- 3:26Speaker 1: out kind of the top ten in eighth place with
- 3:28Speaker 1: was Esther Irvine of Lenny Christian. Ninth was Kennedy Brown
- 3:32Speaker 1: of Knufsack Valley, and tenth was Britton Jensen of Knufsack Valley.
- 3:36Speaker 1: And I want to bring something up about Kennedy Brown.
- 3:40Speaker 1: She had a hole in one and I want to
- 3:45Speaker 1: say as whole fourteen. It's the par three at North Bellingham.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Very exciting, you know, I was. I was on a
- 3:53Speaker 1: golf cart. I was a few holes away when it happened.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I could hear the screams, the excitement, really really cool.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I reached out to her, congratulated her, asked what clubs
- 4:05Speaker 1: she used used in nine iron, very impressive. Two things
- 4:10Speaker 1: about it, though, that I want to talk about last
- 4:13Speaker 1: year at the state tournament, that was her toughest hole.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I think she shot a fifteen on it something like that,
- 4:21Speaker 1: and so it's pretty cool to shoot an ace. It's
- 4:24Speaker 1: just you know, her name is going to be on
- 4:26Speaker 1: the wall or whatever they do out there at North
- 4:28Speaker 1: Bellingham golf Course. The other thing is, and this might
- 4:32Speaker 1: be tough for me to talk about, but I graduated
- 4:37Speaker 1: with both of her parents, and I remember, you know,
- 4:42Speaker 1: seeing them at our high school reunion, our twenty year
- 4:45Speaker 1: reunion back in the summer of twenty seventeen, and especially
- 4:52Speaker 1: her dad, who I played football with in high school
- 4:55Speaker 1: hadn't seen him in a long time, and then the
- 4:58Speaker 1: following spr he passed away in a sleep and it
- 5:03Speaker 1: was a really sudden shock to the whole community. And
- 5:07Speaker 1: but what's crazy about it is a few weeks later
- 5:11Speaker 1: the his celebration of life funeral at whatever. We all
- 5:17Speaker 1: wore Seahawks colors and it was held at the North
- 5:22Speaker 1: Bellingham golf Course. So pretty incredible. And I thought of
- 5:28Speaker 1: it right away as soon as I knew that she
- 5:30Speaker 1: hit the hole in one. What's really cool is that
- 5:33Speaker 1: her mom was there, Like she hadn't been to many events,
- 5:36Speaker 1: and she went to that one and she got to
- 5:38Speaker 1: witness it, which is awesome. I've known her mom, Ronda,
- 5:42Speaker 1: since kindergarten and just so I just love things like that.
- 5:48Speaker 1: And yeah, pretty pretty impressive that it all happened. And
- 5:55Speaker 1: I believe that the hole in one happened on the
- 6:00Speaker 1: you know what it would it would have been the
- 6:01Speaker 1: ninth anniversary of the funeral at North Bellingham Golf Course,
- 6:08Speaker 1: like on the same day, just nine years later or yeah,
- 6:13Speaker 1: I'm sorry, eight eight years later. So it's just those
- 6:18Speaker 1: kinds of things, you know. That's why I'm so glad
- 6:22Speaker 1: to be in this community for so long and get
- 6:24Speaker 1: to know so many people is because you learn things
- 6:26Speaker 1: like that, and and yeah, it's just incredible. She didn't
- 6:32Speaker 1: make it a state. She was just a few strokes off,
- 6:36Speaker 1: but very happy for Kennedy Brown. And I'm telling you, Kennedy,
- 6:42Speaker 1: your dad would have been so darn proud. And I
- 6:44Speaker 1: know he was watching because that's really special. And Ken
- 6:50Speaker 1: was an awesome, awesome guy. So congratulations to her. That
- 6:56Speaker 1: is your one A district recap and two A the
- 7:00Speaker 1: Burlington Edison Tigers were the district champs. They and this
- 7:04Speaker 1: was played, Uh, this was played out at Lake Padden
- 7:11Speaker 1: and uh, if you look at the top twelve scores,
- 7:15Speaker 1: it's the top twelve that go to state for two
- 7:17Speaker 1: way a lot more schools involved here, so it's basically,
- 7:22Speaker 1: you know, kind of the Northwest Conference to a then
- 7:24Speaker 1: and then like I think Cedar Crest and Archbishop Murphy
- 7:27Speaker 1: are added to it. But Kinsley rector third year in
- 7:30Speaker 1: a row that she takes the district championship. She shot
- 7:33Speaker 1: a one fifty nine over two days out at Lake Padden.
- 7:37Speaker 1: She was a she was on target, as they say.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Elena Dell of Seaholme. She finished sixth. She shot a
- 7:46Speaker 1: one eighty one. Stella Hogan of Seahome shot an even
- 7:48Speaker 1: two hundred which is good for ninth. Presley Steinbach of
- 7:52Speaker 1: Lynden shot a two ten which was eleventh place, and
- 7:55Speaker 1: Gabriella con of Squalk them and shot a two twelve
- 7:58Speaker 1: for twelfth place, So all five of them going to state.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The two alternates are both from the squalkm Storm Abbigail
- 8:06Speaker 1: Fife and Genevieve Wheelan, so not sure, you know, You
- 8:10Speaker 1: never know with the alternates, but if someone can't go,
- 8:13Speaker 1: then they will step right up in their place. The
- 8:16Speaker 1: three A district tournament was at Legion Memorial Golf Course
- 8:20Speaker 1: and it's a little different where if you are one
- 8:22Speaker 1: of the top five teams, the whole team can go
- 8:25Speaker 1: to State. Other than that you have to be one
- 8:27Speaker 1: of the top ten scorers. Oak Harbor were the district
- 8:31Speaker 1: champions and the golfer going to State no surprise here.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Tied for third was Emily O'Toole of Ferndale. She shot
- 8:40Speaker 1: a one sixty two, so she will be going on
- 8:43Speaker 1: to State. So yeah, pretty a lot of local golfers

- 10:25Speaker 1: amazes me. I mean, what really amazes me is just

- 10:32Speaker 1: one just curve way off. I mean it is, It's impressive.
- 10:36Speaker 1: So I'd love to see it. It's a fun sport.

- 11:47Speaker 1: And I tell you what, you get a guy like
- 11:49Speaker 1: that that's used to pressure on the basketball court and
- 11:51Speaker 1: stuff like that, he knows how to deal with it
- 11:54Speaker 1: in the spring with golf, So not surprised there. He

- 12:25Speaker 1: which is awesome. Travis Brocky the third, my guy from Ferndale.

- 12:59Speaker 1: and you know remember him telling me even just a
- 13:02Speaker 1: year or so ago, like we're a pretty young team,
- 13:04Speaker 1: but I think we'll be pretty good, and it's all
- 13:06Speaker 1: kind of happening now. So got the senior leadership with
- 13:09Speaker 1: Travis Brocky the third obviously got some really good young
- 13:12Speaker 1: players behind him, so congratulations to all of them again.

- 13:28Speaker 1: as you can go, like east of Spokane. And that
- 13:33Speaker 1: will be again, that'll be Tuesday and Wednesday. Two A

- 14:04Speaker 1: I will be waking up early and heading over to
- 14:08Speaker 1: Eastern Washington to catch the opening round fast pitch game
- 14:12Speaker 1: and that's at three o'clock, so I want to make
- 14:14Speaker 1: sure I get there on time, get you know, make
- 14:16Speaker 1: you know, make sure I kind of have everything. So
- 14:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna be leaving pretty early in the morning. Yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if i'll check in before that.
- 14:25Speaker 1: My hotel's somewhat close, but I think I might just
- 14:28Speaker 1: go straight to the ball fields. But we'll talk about
- 14:30Speaker 1: that in a little bit. But that's your wrap up
- 14:32Speaker 1: on girls and boys golf. Let's go to girls tennis
- 14:37Speaker 1: now where they had the They kind of finished up
- 14:40Speaker 1: the district tournament singles and doubles on Monday, and yeah,
- 14:47Speaker 1: it was a as a team. Lyndon won the district championship.
- 14:50Speaker 1: They had the they had this singles champion was Hollie Brooks.
- 14:56Speaker 1: She defeated Seahomes Gabriella Gracia Salgado six one, six to zero.
- 15:01Speaker 1: Both are going to be going to state. Gabby will
- 15:05Speaker 1: be going in her as her first time and Holly's
- 15:09Speaker 1: going after we winning this doubles state championship last season
- 15:14Speaker 1: with her sister Avery, so it's a little different this year.
- 15:17Speaker 1: This look for for Linden where they sent Rolana Newcombe
- 15:21Speaker 1: as a singles and then the Brooks twins went as doubles.
- 15:24Speaker 1: The twins won the state championship. Rolana finished pretty high up.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I think she got maybe fourth in the state. But
- 15:31Speaker 1: they're hoping to both win state this year by having
- 15:35Speaker 1: Holle Brooks go as a singles and then having Rolana
- 15:37Speaker 1: Newcomb and Avery Brooks play as doubles. Now they both
- 15:40Speaker 1: took it at districts champions and singles and doubles, so yeah,
- 15:45Speaker 1: it'll be it'll be close. Bellingham's Ivy Brooks was narrowly
- 15:49Speaker 1: defeated by Jaden Champion of lakeq WUID for third place,
- 15:53Speaker 1: so she was not able to go to state and
- 15:58Speaker 1: then doubles let's see here, So also going to state
- 16:03Speaker 1: will be Ominle Everett and Maria Horga of Sea Home.
- 16:06Speaker 1: They had to they had to come out of the
- 16:08Speaker 1: consolation bracket unharmed, and they did that by defeating the Storm,
- 16:14Speaker 1: the Squalcum Storm sisters Ada Walker and Molly Walker, and
- 16:19Speaker 1: so they'll be head in the state. The Walkers will
- 16:20Speaker 1: be state alternates. So uh, the state tournament will begin
- 16:24Speaker 1: on Friday, May second at the north Strom Center in Seattle.
- 16:29Speaker 1: And uh, very very good. I think it's a really
- 16:33Speaker 1: good chance there could be a great showing there for
- 16:35Speaker 1: Walking County. I've talked to somebody that I think will
- 16:40Speaker 1: be covering that, so I'll be able to hopefully trade
- 16:43Speaker 1: pictures with them, so I can, you know, have a
- 16:47Speaker 1: good picture to use, because I really think Walkom County's
- 16:50Speaker 1: got a good chance of doing some good stuff. So
- 16:55Speaker 1: and then one a tennis Blaine. It's an interesting thing
- 16:59Speaker 1: because Blaine's the only one a team up here. They
- 17:01Speaker 1: might even be the only one A team in the district,
- 17:03Speaker 1: so they automatically have some players going over I don't
- 17:08Speaker 1: know exactly who yet. I'm kind of waiting on some information,
- 17:11Speaker 1: but that will be state for that will be on
- 17:16Speaker 1: We'll be the same day as Friday and Saturday, the
- 17:18Speaker 1: twenty second, twenty third. That'll be at the Yakama Tennis Club. Man,
- 17:22Speaker 1: I might have a shot to head over there. I'm
- 17:24Speaker 1: gonna be sort of in the area kind of by
- 17:28Speaker 1: I'll be bouncing back and forth between Richland and Sela,
- 17:31Speaker 1: So who knows, I might bounce over there, especially if
- 17:36Speaker 1: the Blaine you know, if they're able to move on
- 17:39Speaker 1: to this today too, it's a very strong possibility. Again,
- 17:43Speaker 1: I really think that, you know, Walkin County players athletes
- 17:49Speaker 1: have a good shot of doing some good things at
- 17:51Speaker 1: this state tournament. So we'll just have to wait and
- 17:54Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. Let's move on to track and
- 17:57Speaker 1: field now, which is sponsored by Stauffer and Shurance. You
- 18:00Speaker 1: give them a call at three six zero seven four
- 18:02Speaker 1: six eight eight zero three, or visit them in person
- 18:05Speaker 1: at nineteen oh three Front Street and Linden, or go
- 18:08Speaker 1: online at Stafford Insurance dot Com. They are always happy
- 18:12Speaker 1: to help. We had the subdistrict meets over this past week,
- 18:19Speaker 1: and which is interesting because it's you know, you see
- 18:25Speaker 1: like it was a lot of the local schools you know,
- 18:29Speaker 1: and competing and then you can move on from that
- 18:32Speaker 1: and then next week will be like by district tournaments
- 18:35Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So we're still a little ways
- 18:37Speaker 1: away from state. But there were some new Walkam County
- 18:42Speaker 1: top times, top heights and distances stuff like that set
- 18:46Speaker 1: this past week. In girls track, the four by one
- 18:50Speaker 1: hundred relay team of Adrian Phillips, Briley Valiant, Madeleine Hill
- 18:54Speaker 1: and Kylie Ifsovik of Seahome have the new top time.
- 18:58Speaker 1: They've had the new top time, but they bettered their
- 19:00Speaker 1: time with a forty nine point six three that's three
- 19:03Speaker 1: tenths of a second faster. Had The four x four
- 19:07Speaker 1: hundred relay team, which looked a little bit different, is
- 19:10Speaker 1: Madeleine Hill, Kira Reeves, Amaya Reid and Kirsten Ludeman of
- 19:14Speaker 1: Seahome with a time of four minutes, two point twenty
- 19:17Speaker 1: two seconds, So that is the new top time for
- 19:21Speaker 1: that event. In discus, Leilani Endersby of Bellingham broke her
- 19:26Speaker 1: best distance of the season in discus. It's hard to
- 19:30Speaker 1: say distance in discus. Hopefully you can make out which
- 19:34Speaker 1: one I'm saying. Her distance was one hundred and thirteen
- 19:38Speaker 1: feet and ten inches, so that's the top one in
- 19:41Speaker 1: the county. Also in the poll, vall Emerson's subject of
- 19:45Speaker 1: Meridian broke her own personal best of a vault of
- 19:48Speaker 1: ten feet three inches, so congratulations to her on that.
- 19:53Speaker 1: And uh so those are the new best times and
- 19:57Speaker 1: distances for girls track and field. On the boys side,
- 20:01Speaker 1: we do have a couple of them. The four by
- 20:02Speaker 1: one hundred relay team of James Ellis, Danny Boehler, Conrad
- 20:07Speaker 1: Timmer and Lucas Lolgy of Linden now have a new
- 20:10Speaker 1: time forty two point five point five. And James Ellis
- 20:14Speaker 1: so he's on both of these here he has the
- 20:17Speaker 1: new long in the long jump, the Lindon athlete twenty
- 20:23Speaker 1: two feet and a quarter of an inch, so just
- 20:27Speaker 1: getting a quarter of an inch further than Adam Perry
- 20:29Speaker 1: of Squalicum. That's gonna be a really fun you know,
- 20:32Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of good long jumpers and
- 20:35Speaker 1: stuff like that. Triple jumpers at State from Walking County.
- 20:38Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see how that goes. And so four,
- 20:44Speaker 1: So the next thing is kind of coming up in
- 20:46Speaker 1: track and field. That will be a start with one
- 20:49Speaker 1: A so on let's see her Thursday, the Thursday through
- 20:55Speaker 1: Saturday or Thursday and Saturday will be the by District
- 21:00Speaker 1: District one and District two track and field tournament and
- 21:04Speaker 1: then from there you qualify for state there and that
- 21:08Speaker 1: will be out at Granite Falls High School. That'll be
- 21:10Speaker 1: for the one A. For two a same type of
- 21:14Speaker 1: deal two a District one track and field you know
- 21:19Speaker 1: again competing to get to state. That will be out
- 21:21Speaker 1: at Lakewood High School. That will be Wednesday through Friday,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and then also Wednesday through Friday for three a same
- 21:29Speaker 1: deal three a District one track and field competing to
- 21:33Speaker 1: get to state. That'll be at Shoreline Stadiums. So this
- 21:36Speaker 1: week will be some you know, pretty big time events.
- 21:41Speaker 1: You have to get you know, a certain placing, you know,
- 21:45Speaker 1: stuff like that to get to the state track and field,
- 21:50Speaker 1: which will be the following weekend. And it's it's unusual.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I like how they're doing it because there's a lot
- 21:54Speaker 1: of state stuff that there's so many sports in the spring,
- 21:57Speaker 1: and they're kind of breaking it up into two weekends,
- 22:00Speaker 1: which makes it easier for people like me. So so yeah,
- 22:04Speaker 1: so it'll be one last chance kind of for these
- 22:07Speaker 1: athletes to do what they can do to get to
- 22:09Speaker 1: State and then and then from there and it's that's it.
- 22:13Speaker 1: For some of them, it will be the last time
- 22:14Speaker 1: ever competing. So that'll be really really cool. The Staffer
- 22:18Speaker 1: Insurance Track and Field Athlete of the Week, I'm going
- 22:22Speaker 1: with James Ellis of Lyndon. I mean, he was part
- 22:25Speaker 1: of the relay team that got the best time in
- 22:28Speaker 1: Walking County over the over this past weekend, uh, you know,
- 22:32Speaker 1: with Danny Bowler, Conrad Timmer and Lucas Lolgi and then
- 22:35Speaker 1: he broke the you know, he's got the longest long
- 22:39Speaker 1: jump of the year so far, twenty two feet and
- 22:42Speaker 1: a quarter of an inch. So congratulations James. We you know,
- 22:45Speaker 1: I loved watch him on the basketball court. He would
- 22:48Speaker 1: he would come in and do some really really good things.
- 22:50Speaker 1: The guy that probably on other teams could have played
- 22:52Speaker 1: a lot more, but you know, filled a role that
- 22:55Speaker 1: was needed for Lindon and and just glad that he's
- 22:59Speaker 1: doing his thing now for track and field. So congratulations
- 23:02Speaker 1: to James Ellis of Lyndon on being named the Stuffer
- 23:05Speaker 1: Insurance Track and Field Athlete of the Week. Well let's
- 23:10Speaker 1: go to boys soccer now and and boys soccer Everything
- 23:15Speaker 1: sponsored by North County Alliance FC. Check them out online
- 23:20Speaker 1: NCALLIANCEFC dot com all sorts of different levels, club, competitive, recreational.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Great way to get into soccer at an early age
- 23:31Speaker 1: and then flourish once you get into high school. If
- 23:34Speaker 1: you look at the brackets so far, a lot of
- 23:37Speaker 1: stuff that happened over this past week. On Monday, Meridian
- 23:43Speaker 1: beat Lyndon Christian. This is the one a district tournament.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Meridian beat Lenny Christian two to one. That was for
- 23:49Speaker 1: the district championship game. So Meridian stamps their ticket to
- 23:54Speaker 1: the state tournament and uh but Lindy Christian still had
- 23:59Speaker 1: a chance, so they had to take on the winner
- 24:01Speaker 1: of the other game, which was Knoksack Valley and Blaine
- 24:05Speaker 1: that was also two to one. Blaine won that one,
- 24:08Speaker 1: so Nukzack Valley done on the year, so Blaine gets
- 24:11Speaker 1: to move on and face lind And Christian. That match
- 24:14Speaker 1: took place on Saturday. See the dates are all weird.
- 24:19Speaker 1: On here. That first one was not Monday, that was Wednesday,
- 24:22Speaker 1: so Wednesday and then Saturday, and then on Saturday, lind
- 24:26Speaker 1: and Christian beat Blaine three to one to get to
- 24:28Speaker 1: the state tournament for the first time. And it was
- 24:31Speaker 1: like a dozen years or something like that. It was
- 24:33Speaker 1: just hard to believe. They always have such a strong team,
- 24:36Speaker 1: but this was the first time in a while where
- 24:37Speaker 1: two teams from the district got to go to state,
- 24:40Speaker 1: which is pretty awesome. It's a bigger tournament than most
- 24:44Speaker 1: as far as like teams that are involved in the tournament,
- 24:46Speaker 1: which helps. But congratulations to the Links on winning that.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Blaine one game away from getting to the state tournament again.
- 24:55Speaker 1: This is for one A on the two A side. Yeah,
- 25:00Speaker 1: a lot of craziness and fun stuff going on out there.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Got to see a lot of soccer out at Civic
- 25:07Speaker 1: Stadium on let's see here on the May twelfth, so
- 25:12Speaker 1: that would have been Tuesday. Walking County did well needing
- 25:18Speaker 1: his stay alive. Bellingham defeated Lake with two to one.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Seahome defeated Archbishop Murphy one nil, so that was huge
- 25:25Speaker 1: there for they both could stay alive and face each
- 25:28Speaker 1: other a few days later on Thursday in a loser
- 25:33Speaker 1: out game, but a winner would go play in a
- 25:35Speaker 1: crossover with District five. Seaholm wins that one zero. It
- 25:40Speaker 1: was scoreless after full time and after overtime the golden
- 25:46Speaker 1: goal periods and then it went to a shootout. Seaholm
- 25:50Speaker 1: wins that one to zero. In the district championship game,
- 25:53Speaker 1: squalk them all over Lyndon five zero, five different players scoring.
- 25:58Speaker 1: It was a very dominant perform It's there so going
- 26:03Speaker 1: over to see whom had to go to the Eastern
- 26:05Speaker 1: Washington and then play on Saturday. So their third game
- 26:07Speaker 1: in five days and they beat Ellensburg to zero. So
- 26:12Speaker 1: they got their spot in the state tournament, which is
- 26:15Speaker 1: great to see. When you look at the one A
- 26:17Speaker 1: state tournament, Lyndon Christian has the nineteen seed and there's
- 26:21Speaker 1: only twenty teams going over. So they got some work
- 26:24Speaker 1: to do. They were gonna be They're gonna be playing
- 26:26Speaker 1: university university prep out at King's High School and this
- 26:31Speaker 1: will be tonight at six o'clock Tuesday night at six
- 26:34Speaker 1: o'clock losers out. The winner will go on to play
- 26:37Speaker 1: Kingsaway Christian and that will take place on Friday, don't
- 26:43Speaker 1: know the time, and not one hundred percent sure of
- 26:47Speaker 1: the location either, but probably gonna be at Kingsway Christian.
- 26:51Speaker 1: But Clinton Christian has to has to, you know, take
- 26:56Speaker 1: care of business first. Against University Prep. University Prep, let's
- 27:02Speaker 1: see kind of what they're what they're looking like here,
- 27:05Speaker 1: nine wins, four losses, three ties, so you know, I mean,
- 27:11Speaker 1: they're all going to be good teams at this point, right.
- 27:14Speaker 1: So they did beat Burlington one zero, so that's interesting.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Burlington a common opponent there when Lynn and Christian played Burlington.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Let's see how that one went. Let's see here that
- 27:26Speaker 1: was that was a one to one tie, so it
- 27:28Speaker 1: might be pretty close. Nice to have Harvest Howell back
- 27:32Speaker 1: to and they're playing pretty well right now, so so
- 27:36Speaker 1: I think Linna Christian has a real shot to get
- 27:38Speaker 1: a win there and move on. Also, in the tournament Meridian,
- 27:42Speaker 1: they have the twelve seeds, so they'll be playing the
- 27:44Speaker 1: five seed Raymond slash South Bend team. I think Raymond
- 27:48Speaker 1: and South Bend are both two B schools, but combined
- 27:54Speaker 1: for soccer they play up at one A. And also
- 27:58Speaker 1: I believe in that Raymond South Bend area, that's where
- 28:00Speaker 1: Eric Trent is from one of my favorite media members
- 28:03Speaker 1: in the state of Washington, so I'm sure he'll be
- 28:05Speaker 1: rooting for them. Come on, Eric, got a root for
- 28:08Speaker 1: the locals Meridian Trojans here, so that will be taking place.
- 28:13Speaker 1: They won't play that one until Friday, the twenty second.
- 28:17Speaker 1: That will be taking place at the Apple Bowl in
- 28:20Speaker 1: Wenatchi at seven o'clock Friday night. Man, that's gonna be
- 28:25Speaker 1: kind of close too. I wish I could just go
- 28:27Speaker 1: to all these events, but it's just they all kind
- 28:30Speaker 1: of seem to line up at the same time. But hey,
- 28:33Speaker 1: that is okay for two way state. It's a it's
- 28:37Speaker 1: a more normal, you know, sixteen team bracket here, single elimination.
- 28:44Speaker 1: So Seahome is the twelve seats. So they will travel
- 28:47Speaker 1: to East Valley to play against East Valley Yakama and
- 28:51Speaker 1: play in Yakama at Earl Barden Stadium. It's a great
- 28:55Speaker 1: place where they play the All State football game every year,
- 28:57Speaker 1: which is really really great. That will take place on
- 29:01Speaker 1: Wednesday at five o'clock. So see home traveling East, which
- 29:05Speaker 1: they just did to get a win, so I really
- 29:07Speaker 1: think they have a shot here, which would be awesome
- 29:10Speaker 1: to see Lindon is the eleven seats, so they will
- 29:12Speaker 1: be taking on Cedar Crest at Cedarcrest High School. That
- 29:16Speaker 1: will also be Wednesday at six o'clock. Again, these are
- 29:20Speaker 1: all loser outs. You gotta keep winning to get to
- 29:23Speaker 1: the final four. Here, Squalicum got the two seed overall.
- 29:27Speaker 1: They will be taking on Clover Park, which will also
- 29:30Speaker 1: be Wednesday, six o'clock at Civic Stadium. So how about
- 29:34Speaker 1: that they get to play at Civic Stadium because it's
- 29:37Speaker 1: Wednesday night. I will still be in town, so I'll
- 29:39Speaker 1: probably be at that match, which is great. I'm gonna
- 29:42Speaker 1: be leaving early the next morning, but I will be
- 29:44Speaker 1: able to be there for that report on that maybe
- 29:47Speaker 1: even right about it that night before, so I don't
- 29:50Speaker 1: have to worry about it while I'm driving the next day.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Kind of get it all over with at that point.
- 29:53Speaker 1: But Squalacum's got a really good chance. Still no losses
- 29:56Speaker 1: on the season, so got a few ties there, but
- 30:00Speaker 1: no losses. So Squalicum playing extremely well. They're starting to
- 30:03Speaker 1: get some of their guys back, which is great to see,
- 30:06Speaker 1: and so many other guys getting confidence, some of the
- 30:08Speaker 1: younger players playing really well. It's just you know, it's
- 30:13Speaker 1: happening very very well for them right now. Awesome to see.
- 30:16Speaker 1: So that is the two way state boys bracket. Let's
- 30:21Speaker 1: take a look at the goal leaders so far and
- 30:24Speaker 1: there hasn't been a ton of change. Two way tie
- 30:27Speaker 1: for ninth place. Isaac Grimes of Squalkum and Ahnu Fasania
- 30:30Speaker 1: Ferndale each have ten goals. In seventh place, another two
- 30:34Speaker 1: way tie between a Squalm player and a Ferndale player.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Cole Oswalt of Squalkum has eleven goals. Andre Sebanko of
- 30:41Speaker 1: Ferndale has eleven as well. A two way tie for
- 30:44Speaker 1: fifth place. Mason Ifsovik of Seaholme has twelve goals. Eddie
- 30:48Speaker 1: Brasino of Lyndon also has twelve goals. Eddie Brisino with
- 30:53Speaker 1: a huge goal against Seaholme and that one zero win
- 30:57Speaker 1: to send them to the state tournament. So good for
- 30:59Speaker 1: him on that that one. Mason Ifshevek suffered a fractured
- 31:04Speaker 1: orbital boner, he did something as skull and there's something
- 31:07Speaker 1: in his face wearing a mask now out on the field.
- 31:10Speaker 1: I'm just so glad that he gets to play, which is,
- 31:14Speaker 1: you know, been huge for the team and as long
- 31:17Speaker 1: as he can just be out there and play such
- 31:19Speaker 1: a great player. So I'm so glad that he wasn't
- 31:22Speaker 1: done for the year. A three way tie or for
- 31:25Speaker 1: second place, same as last week. I think sky LaRowe
- 31:28Speaker 1: of Meridian thirteen goals, Marcus Kanan of Lindon with thirteen
- 31:32Speaker 1: and Chris Mancotta Castile of Nukxac Valley all have thirteen
- 31:35Speaker 1: goals and leading the way still with thirty five goals
- 31:39Speaker 1: from Squalkum is Maddox Strickland. Well. That leads us to
- 31:45Speaker 1: the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week, and
- 31:49Speaker 1: I'm going with my guy Baine Mitchell. He did some
- 31:53Speaker 1: huge things this past week. They had to play three
- 31:56Speaker 1: games and he did not allow a goal in any
- 32:00Speaker 1: of the three games. He also came out of the
- 32:02Speaker 1: goal and was one of the kick one of the
- 32:06Speaker 1: shooters kickers. I don't know what it's called on penalty kicks,
- 32:09Speaker 1: and it's just it was crazy to see because this
- 32:12Speaker 1: was against Bellingham. This is a loser out game. Bellingham
- 32:17Speaker 1: a very young team see Holm's young two. But Bellingham,
- 32:19Speaker 1: you know, penalty kicks you should you probably make eighty
- 32:23Speaker 1: percent of them, you know, I mean, it's just so
- 32:25Speaker 1: close it and Bellingham was denied the first two by
- 32:30Speaker 1: Baine Mitchell. So that's a huge advantage for sealing when
- 32:33Speaker 1: you only get five and you know, the player runs
- 32:36Speaker 1: in from the fifty yard line and it's a whole big,
- 32:39Speaker 1: you know thing and lines the ball up and it
- 32:41Speaker 1: was just so cool to see Baine Mitchell just walk
- 32:43Speaker 1: out a goal from the net and do his own
- 32:47Speaker 1: shot with the other goalie and he scored and and
- 32:52Speaker 1: it wasn't the one that clinched it, but the next
- 32:54Speaker 1: one did, and it's just it's just really cool. He's
- 32:58Speaker 1: had a tremendous week and they've they've needed to win
- 33:01Speaker 1: three in a row to get back to state and
- 33:03Speaker 1: they did it in all three of them one zero,
- 33:05Speaker 1: one zero, and two zero. So congratulations to Baine Mitchell,
- 33:09Speaker 1: the junior from Seahome. He's once again your North County
- 33:11Speaker 1: Alliance FC Player of the week. Let's go to fast

- 35:06Speaker 1: just a second, but I want to look at the
- 35:08Speaker 1: brackets first. We're gonna look at the district brackets that
- 35:10Speaker 1: took place this past week, starting off with three A
- 35:14Speaker 1: and Ferndale getting to the district tournament as the sixth seed.
- 35:18Speaker 1: They felt a Shorewood and they're opening game thirteen to three,
- 35:23Speaker 1: which put them into the consolation round later that day.
- 35:27Speaker 1: This was going on on Tuesday night and then they
- 35:30Speaker 1: they fell to Meadowdale three to one and kind of
- 35:33Speaker 1: an upset there and that ended Ferndale's season and it
- 35:37Speaker 1: was a It was just one of my favorite teams
- 35:40Speaker 1: to watch this year. You know, you kind of get
- 35:44Speaker 1: you kind of get connected to certain groups and certain teams,
- 35:47Speaker 1: and that Ferndale fast pitch team was really really fun
- 35:50Speaker 1: to watch. There's just there's just not a hole in
- 35:55Speaker 1: that lineup. There's and there's a There's a good group
- 35:57Speaker 1: of some veteran leaderships, some younger players. Probably the best
- 36:02Speaker 1: freshman player in Walkham County in Nyla Conda. So it's
- 36:06Speaker 1: just it was just a really good group and really
- 36:09Speaker 1: excited for their future. I think they can do some
- 36:11Speaker 1: great things next year, but unfortunately this this year, it
- 36:17Speaker 1: all just kind of ran out for them. Yeah. Interesting too.
- 36:22Speaker 1: Snohomish was the one seed coming into this and they
- 36:26Speaker 1: did not make it to the state tournament. They got
- 36:29Speaker 1: beat by Everett one zero and Everett was the eight seed.
- 36:32Speaker 1: They got all the way to the state championship game
- 36:34Speaker 1: or state championship, District championship game, lost to Sedro woollye
- 36:38Speaker 1: Si Wollie was the two seed, and they didn't even
- 36:41Speaker 1: allow a run the entire tournament. So they're all right,
- 36:46Speaker 1: they're pretty good. Us in the Northwest Conference are quite
- 36:49Speaker 1: aware of. So that is. That was the District three
- 36:54Speaker 1: a fast pitch tournament. Ferndale ousted after two games in
- 36:59Speaker 1: the two tournament that was held at Bender Fields. This
- 37:02Speaker 1: was this was pretty exciting the games that took place
- 37:06Speaker 1: this past there. Well, the whole tournament took place in
- 37:09Speaker 1: just two days this past week, starting on Monday, Lyndon
- 37:12Speaker 1: defeated Marysville Pilchuck thirteen zero, and a Cordus got the
- 37:16Speaker 1: best of Sea Home eighteen to one. Only two Walking
- 37:18Speaker 1: County teams in this Linden, with the win, moved on
- 37:22Speaker 1: later that night to take on Archbishop Murphy, where they
- 37:25Speaker 1: won eight to two, which set them up into the
- 37:28Speaker 1: state earth stay. I keep saying stay in the district
- 37:30Speaker 1: championship game, and it sent them to state already Seahome
- 37:36Speaker 1: because there was only seven teams in the tournament, they
- 37:38Speaker 1: got a buy in that for that evening to get
- 37:42Speaker 1: and so they were able to move on to the
- 37:45Speaker 1: second day where they lost to Archbishop Murphy twelve to two,
- 37:49Speaker 1: so they were eliminated for the season. Linden had a
- 37:53Speaker 1: district championship game with Brlington Edison, once again the little
- 37:56Speaker 1: deja vus there. Now. It was interesting because I talked
- 37:59Speaker 1: to coach Diytsche but before the game kind of asked
- 38:01Speaker 1: him how he felt, and he was like, he's like,
- 38:03Speaker 1: you know, we're just playing with house money right now,
- 38:06Speaker 1: because you know they were they're they're they're the two seed.
- 38:10Speaker 1: They've already clinched their their ticket to the state tournament
- 38:13Speaker 1: that's already taken care of, so there's no pressure there.
- 38:15Speaker 1: You still want to win that game. Last year's game
- 38:17Speaker 1: was an extra ending thriller that ended with a walk
- 38:20Speaker 1: off home run and they lost to Burlington Edison prior
- 38:24Speaker 1: in the season, so and that was the last loss
- 38:27Speaker 1: that they had had coming into that game, and it
- 38:30Speaker 1: was a really really close game. Linden wins it two
- 38:33Speaker 1: to one. So not only had they already clinched their
- 38:36Speaker 1: ticket to state, but now they're going in probably with
- 38:39Speaker 1: a better seed because of it, and they are district
- 38:41Speaker 1: champions once again, So congratulations to them in the one
- 38:45Speaker 1: A by district tournament. This is a really interesting deal
- 38:50Speaker 1: because because the one A Fast Pitch only has twelve
- 38:54Speaker 1: teams at this state tournament, what was happening is they
- 38:57Speaker 1: would only take one team from District one, which is,
- 39:01Speaker 1: you know, there were times when there could be two
- 39:03Speaker 1: or three teams that that could compete and only one
- 39:06Speaker 1: was allowed to go. So they for the last couple
- 39:08Speaker 1: of years, last year and this year had an agreement
- 39:11Speaker 1: with District four that they would send over three teams
- 39:15Speaker 1: to their tournament and play down there, and which is
- 39:19Speaker 1: District four Fast Pitch for those of you who don't know,
- 39:22Speaker 1: is like that's like fast pitch country down there. I
- 39:25Speaker 1: mean big time teams. You know Montasno and Elma and
- 39:30Speaker 1: Seaton Catholic and these were these are really really good
- 39:33Speaker 1: teams year in and year out. So yeah, it's gonna
- 39:38Speaker 1: be tough, but you know, it's better than trying to
- 39:41Speaker 1: get you know, better than only getting one a you
- 39:44Speaker 1: might get more than that. So we were able to
- 39:46Speaker 1: send Lenny Christian and Blaine and Nuksack Valley into this tournament.
- 39:51Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley lost their opening game to Hoke Whim. Blaine
- 39:56Speaker 1: won their opening game against Kingsway Christians. So but it's
- 40:00Speaker 1: the tough thing is that Blaine had to play Lynden
- 40:02Speaker 1: Christian and which was a pretty close game the first
- 40:06Speaker 1: time the first time around out at Blaine. I was
- 40:08Speaker 1: out there for the second half of that game, which
- 40:11Speaker 1: was a really really close game until the very end
- 40:12Speaker 1: when Lyndon Christian poured on I think like six runs
- 40:15Speaker 1: in the final inning and they beat Blaine again ten zero.
- 40:19Speaker 1: So lind and Christian because of that, moved on to
- 40:20Speaker 1: the semi finals and which put them in a really
- 40:24Speaker 1: good position to get back to the State tournament. Blaine
- 40:27Speaker 1: then had some work to do. They did beat Le
- 40:29Speaker 1: Center six to five in their third game of the day.
- 40:32Speaker 1: That was at Friday. All these games down in Centralia,
- 40:35Speaker 1: Shahalas at Fort Borst Park, and Nuksack Valley beat ten
- 40:39Speaker 1: nine oh twelve to five on that same day as
- 40:42Speaker 1: well to stay alive. Now what happens is that meant
- 40:46Speaker 1: that they had to play each other the next morning
- 40:48Speaker 1: on Saturday morning, which was too bad because I was hoping,
- 40:51Speaker 1: maybe we can get three teams to the state tournament.
- 40:53Speaker 1: I've already booked my hotel. Come on, let's get as
- 40:55Speaker 1: many teams as we can. Right. So, when they played
- 40:59Speaker 1: each other in a loser game, well, now you're not
- 41:01Speaker 1: guaranteed three. You know, the max is two. Nukzack Valley
- 41:05Speaker 1: beats Blaine. They you know, they avenged a loss from
- 41:07Speaker 1: earlier in the season, beats Blaine nineteen to six. There
- 41:10Speaker 1: was a huge inning that Nuxack Valley had late in
- 41:13Speaker 1: the game where they scored eleven runs, and so they
- 41:16Speaker 1: move on there. Blaine is ousted on the year. I thought,
- 41:19Speaker 1: you know, Blaine had a great year fourteen and nine,
- 41:21Speaker 1: playing multiple eighth graders that are going to be great players,
- 41:25Speaker 1: So that was, you know, pretty impressive to see what
- 41:28Speaker 1: they could do. Nukxack Valley moved on to play Seaton Catholic.
- 41:33Speaker 1: They lost that one thirteen to zero, but they were
- 41:35Speaker 1: still because they won the earlier one, they're still alive
- 41:38Speaker 1: for that final spot at State. But they lose to
- 41:41Speaker 1: Columbia White Salmon seventeen to twelve, and Nuksack Valley's season
- 41:45Speaker 1: comes to an end at thirteen and twelve. Now Linna
- 41:49Speaker 1: Christian they were gonna play Elma for the in the
- 41:52Speaker 1: semi finals and the winner that automatically goes to State.
- 41:56Speaker 1: Loser of that still looking pretty good. They did lose
- 41:59Speaker 1: that game ten to two, turn around and beat Columbia
- 42:02Speaker 1: White Salmon seventeen to zero, and that one sent that
- 42:07Speaker 1: one got them to state. But then they played Seaton
- 42:10Speaker 1: Catholic and lost fourteen to two, but it doesn't matter.
- 42:13Speaker 1: They were already going to State at that point. So
- 42:16Speaker 1: a lot of games cramped into those two days. But
- 42:19Speaker 1: I think it's a really good thing because it's a
- 42:21Speaker 1: great experience for the Links because they get to experience
- 42:24Speaker 1: playing multiple games in a day against really good schools,
- 42:27Speaker 1: probably against schools that you'll see at the state tournament,
- 42:29Speaker 1: so they'll be used to it. Now. State tournament's gonna
- 42:32Speaker 1: be close to ninety degrees out there in eastern Washington
- 42:35Speaker 1: this week, and going over there, we're gonna talk about
- 42:39Speaker 1: the one A State Fast Pitched Tournament. It's an interesting
- 42:41Speaker 1: tournament because you have to be one of the top
- 42:43Speaker 1: four schools to be guaranteed two games. Lenny Christian got
- 42:49Speaker 1: the six seeds, so that means they're gonna be taking
- 42:51Speaker 1: on Columbia White Salmon again, a team they just beat
- 42:54Speaker 1: seventeen to zero. But if they lose that game on
- 42:57Speaker 1: Thursday at three o'clock with me and a tendance by
- 43:00Speaker 1: the way, then that's it. They will be done for
- 43:03Speaker 1: the season. But if they win, they will guarantee to
- 43:07Speaker 1: play two games, so and the winner of that game
- 43:10Speaker 1: will take on Seaton Catholic. So there you go. I
- 43:12Speaker 1: mean your Columbia White Salmon, Seaton Catholic. These are teams
- 43:16Speaker 1: that they just played last week. That's why that tournament
- 43:18Speaker 1: is so great, and really good teams down there. So
- 43:24Speaker 1: Lyndon Christian will be playing on Thursday at three o'clock
- 43:27Speaker 1: against Columbia White Salmon in a loser out game. If
- 43:31Speaker 1: they win that, then they will take on Seaton Catholic
- 43:34Speaker 1: on Friday at one o'clock. This is at Columbia Playfields
- 43:37Speaker 1: in Richland. One of my favorite tournaments to go to.
- 43:40Speaker 1: I you know, the first time I had crossed the
- 43:43Speaker 1: mountains in like twenty years was back in twenty eighteen.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I want to say, to go cover Fast Pitched State,
- 43:55Speaker 1: and I've tried to go ever since then. There's been
- 43:57Speaker 1: things that have popped up in the past that have
- 44:00Speaker 1: prevented me from going, but really excited to go again,
- 44:03Speaker 1: and you know else, hey, hopefully they can just you know,
- 44:08Speaker 1: win a few and make it worth my stay. I
- 44:10Speaker 1: did book three nights, so come on, let's let's have
- 44:14Speaker 1: that going now an hour away or a little over
- 44:17Speaker 1: an hour away at Incila at Carlon Park. The Linden
- 44:21Speaker 1: Lyons have the five seats, so they will be taking
- 44:24Speaker 1: on Cedar Crest. That will be at eleven a m.
- 44:28Speaker 1: On Friday morning. They will be taking on Cedar Crest.
- 44:32Speaker 1: So now, if you lose that game, then they got
- 44:35Speaker 1: to turn around and play at one thirty. So pretty
- 44:39Speaker 1: much boom boom. If they lose that game, they got
- 44:42Speaker 1: to play right away in a loser out game. Now,
- 44:44Speaker 1: if they win that one, then they will play at
- 44:46Speaker 1: three thirty, So either way, you're gonna play again pretty quickly.
- 44:52Speaker 1: And if they win, they would take on the winner
- 44:54Speaker 1: of Kingston and Deer Park. So pretty interesting there. I
- 44:57Speaker 1: kind of like the draw that Lindon has here. Lynn
- 45:00Speaker 1: in the last few years have gotten to the second
- 45:04Speaker 1: day of the state tournament, which at the two A
- 45:06Speaker 1: level is extremely tough to do. So I, you know,
- 45:11Speaker 1: they just always seem to play pretty well nineteen and
- 45:14Speaker 1: four going into the tournament. Yeah, I'm excited to see
- 45:18Speaker 1: them too. So I'll be bouncing back and forth between
- 45:21Speaker 1: two A and one A Fast Pitch State Tournament this weekend.
- 45:25Speaker 1: I will hopefully remember to bring some sunscreen because it
- 45:28Speaker 1: will be needed. Who So that is what's we got,
- 45:32Speaker 1: That's what we have to look forward to at state
- 45:35Speaker 1: for fast pitch. Let's take a look at the stat leaders,
- 45:39Speaker 1: which again brought to you by a Man Insurance Group,
- 45:42Speaker 1: and let's start off with runs scored. Masa Pulse forty
- 45:47Speaker 1: four runs scored. That is incredible, way out ahead of
- 45:52Speaker 1: the next players. But she just had a tremendous senior season.
- 45:57Speaker 1: It did come to a close. In base hits, Sarah
- 46:00Speaker 1: mcvia Linden has forty hits on the year. In doubles,
- 46:04Speaker 1: Campbell to Young of Linden has ten doubles. Leading the
- 46:07Speaker 1: way in triples with six triples is Kate Keureski. Here's
- 46:11Speaker 1: a stat that I love. She has three doubles, three
- 46:14Speaker 1: doubles and six triples. And knowing Kate and how determinative
- 46:18Speaker 1: an athlete that she is, I'm not surprised she has
- 46:22Speaker 1: more triples than doubles. I guarantee you when she hits
- 46:24Speaker 1: one of the gaps, she's thinking three all the time.
- 46:27Speaker 1: And so that's just the kind of competitor that she is,
- 46:30Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised there. In home runs, we have
- 46:33Speaker 1: a two way tie between Masa Pulse of Blaine and
- 46:36Speaker 1: Roxanne Lenning of Lyndon Christian each have nine home runs.
- 46:40Speaker 1: In fact, Roxanne Lenning has hit a home run in
- 46:42Speaker 1: four straight games. She hit one in all four games
- 46:45Speaker 1: that were played that that you know, are the last
- 46:50Speaker 1: four games I should say that were played of the
- 46:52Speaker 1: district tournament. Yeah, that's crazy, or maybe maybe it is
- 46:56Speaker 1: all four. I think maybe they only had four games
- 46:58Speaker 1: and she hit a home run in all four of them,
- 47:00Speaker 1: so that's that's pretty incredible. To go with her really
- 47:03Speaker 1: good pitching and runs bated in. Masa Pulse leading the
- 47:06Speaker 1: way with forty three runs batted in in batting average,
- 47:10Speaker 1: Campbell de Young is batting five forty three, which is
- 47:14Speaker 1: leading the way. She's also leading the way with forty
- 47:16Speaker 1: one stolen bases. Yes, I said that right, forty one
- 47:20Speaker 1: stolen bases. Leading the way in walks, Peyton Bartell walked
- 47:24Speaker 1: thirty times this year, very very impressive slugging percentage. Masa
- 47:29Speaker 1: Pulse with a twelve h three slugging percentage, which if
- 47:33Speaker 1: you're over one thousand, that's incredible. She's the only player
- 47:36Speaker 1: over one thousand. She's at twelve oh three. She's way
- 47:38Speaker 1: over one thousand. She also led the way by getting
- 47:40Speaker 1: hit by pitch seventeen times as incredible and on base percentage,
- 47:49Speaker 1: it is Masa Pulse also getting on base sixty eight
- 47:52Speaker 1: point nine percent of the time, just edging out Matty
- 47:55Speaker 1: seleven of Ferndale at sixty seven point six percent of
- 47:58Speaker 1: the time. If you look at the pitching numbers, leading
- 48:01Speaker 1: the way in wins Kali Rammerman eighteen wins on the
- 48:05Speaker 1: season innings pitched, Kali Rammerman one hundred and twenty seven
- 48:10Speaker 1: innings pitched. She also has struck out two hundred and
- 48:13Speaker 1: sixty batters and she has the best ERA at two
- 48:16Speaker 1: point four eight. So how about that she has the
- 48:19Speaker 1: quadruple crown. I guess you could call it wins, innings, pitch,
- 48:23Speaker 1: strikeouts ERA. She leads in all four of them, So
- 48:27Speaker 1: congratulations to Kali Ramerman of Lyndon and leading in all
- 48:30Speaker 1: four of those, that is just incredible. That brings us
- 48:34Speaker 1: to the WATAM Wolverines Fast Pitched Player of the Week.
- 48:38Speaker 1: And when I take a look at the week, I
- 48:39Speaker 1: mean there's been some very important, you know, things that
- 48:43Speaker 1: have happened, some big time games here and there. But
- 48:47Speaker 1: what Roxanne Lenning did four straight games, hitting a home
- 48:50Speaker 1: run in all four while being the pitcher that she is,
- 48:54Speaker 1: That's that's hard to ignore. So congratulations to Lyndon Christian
- 48:58Speaker 1: junior Roxanne Lenning for being named the Watcom Wolverine Fast
- 49:02Speaker 1: Pitch Player of the Week. Let's go to baseball Now

- 50:08Speaker 1: sixteen and seven, Ferndale ended at ten and ten, Blaine
- 50:12Speaker 1: nine and fourteen, Bellingham seven and sixteen, Nuxack Valley six
- 50:16Speaker 1: and sixteen, Meridian five and sixteen, Squalcum six and seventeen,
- 50:20Speaker 1: and Mount Baker one and sixteen. So let's take a
- 50:25Speaker 1: look at the stat leaders and the brackets and everything,

- 50:41Speaker 1: them a call three six zero three zero three one
- 50:44Speaker 1: seven eight nine. Let's go to those brackets first and
- 50:48Speaker 1: talk about the one a district by district tournament with
- 50:53Speaker 1: Districts one and two still alive in the tournament at
- 50:57Speaker 1: this place. Lennon, Christian Nuxack Valley, and Blaine. All these
- 51:01Speaker 1: games were played on Saturday. Knucksack Vally and Blaine each
- 51:05Speaker 1: had a game where they were, you know, in a
- 51:09Speaker 1: game to if you win it, you get to go
- 51:11Speaker 1: to state. Unfortunately, they both just it just did not
- 51:15Speaker 1: happen and neither of them could even score a run.
- 51:17Speaker 1: Lots of airs were committed and they both you know,
- 51:21Speaker 1: were dropped. Knucksack Valley lost to over Lake Bear Creek
- 51:24Speaker 1: thirteen to zero. Blaine lost to Kings eight to zero.
- 51:27Speaker 1: Was at the Blaine Kings game for a little bit
- 51:30Speaker 1: and yeah that was that. So both seasons come to
- 51:35Speaker 1: an end for Knucksack Valley and Blaine. Both teams one
- 51:37Speaker 1: went away from getting to the state tournament. It's been
- 51:40Speaker 1: a while for both for each for either of those
- 51:43Speaker 1: teams to get to the state tournament. Blaine was there.
- 51:45Speaker 1: They had a little run there a few years ago.
- 51:48Speaker 1: I say a few years ago. It was probably like
- 51:50Speaker 1: eight or nine years ago. But U and that, you know,
- 51:54Speaker 1: they and they think they had a little run when
- 51:56Speaker 1: they were in two ways well where they might have
- 51:58Speaker 1: got to the final four or something. Trying to remember,
- 52:00Speaker 1: but yeah, and it's it's it's it's tough. You know,
- 52:06Speaker 1: they were, they were right there, they were so close,
- 52:08Speaker 1: but it did not happen. Lenny Christian ends up playing
- 52:10Speaker 1: Cedar Park Christian for the district by district championship game
- 52:15Speaker 1: at Joe Martin Stadium. Lennon Christian wins that game four
- 52:18Speaker 1: to three. Sam Kock goes the distance in that one,
- 52:22Speaker 1: also has an RBI double, and Eli Maybury picks up
- 52:26Speaker 1: his one hundredth career base hit, which is an incredible number.
- 52:30Speaker 1: I'm totally as many career stats as I can, and
- 52:33Speaker 1: you don't see that number reached very often at all,
- 52:37Speaker 1: you know. Joey Petorick a Blaine, Austin, Engles, Lenny Christian.
- 52:40Speaker 1: They're like in the one twenties, but you just don't
- 52:43Speaker 1: see a hundred. You just do not see. I think
- 52:45Speaker 1: Chase Absher was right on the money with one hundred,
- 52:49Speaker 1: and Eli Maybury now reaches that club of one hundred.
- 52:53Speaker 1: So congratulations to him and congratulations on them winning the
- 52:56Speaker 1: district championship for the first time in quite a while.
- 53:00Speaker 1: So Lennon Christian will be going on to the one
- 53:02Speaker 1: A state tournament, which we'll be talking about in just
- 53:06Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's talk about the two A district
- 53:08Speaker 1: tournament this past week. Let's see what happened here. So
- 53:15Speaker 1: Bellingham was still alive on Monday and they faced was
- 53:22Speaker 1: that Monday? Yeah, it was Monday. They faced Archbishop Murphy
- 53:25Speaker 1: lost seven to two. So Bellingham's season came to a
- 53:28Speaker 1: close there. And then on what day was it the thirteenth?
- 53:34Speaker 1: That was the That was Wednesday. It was a little
- 53:36Speaker 1: rainy that day. I remember that driving down there to
- 53:38Speaker 1: daniels Field and Anacordus to see the district championship game
- 53:42Speaker 1: between Lyndon and Seahome, and I was expecting like a
- 53:46Speaker 1: two to one game or three two games. Especially with
- 53:49Speaker 1: rain you kind of never know, and but what was
- 53:51Speaker 1: really cool to see for Lynden with Spencer Adams took
- 53:54Speaker 1: the mound, which he hadn't done all year, didn't know
- 53:57Speaker 1: if he was ever going to be able to do
- 53:59Speaker 1: it after hurting his shoulder in basketball, and he looked
- 54:03Speaker 1: so sharp. He looked really good. He only allowed one
- 54:05Speaker 1: hit over four innings and Gordy Bedlington closed it out
- 54:09Speaker 1: in the fifth inning got the shortened win ten to
- 54:11Speaker 1: zero over Sea Home. They hit the ball really really
- 54:14Speaker 1: well and it was interesting because Linden had to come
- 54:18Speaker 1: back from behind in their games to get there. You know,
- 54:21Speaker 1: they were down three zero to Bellingham, they were down like,
- 54:24Speaker 1: I don't know, five to one against Anacordas something like that.
- 54:28Speaker 1: They come back in both games to win to get
- 54:30Speaker 1: to the District tournament championship game, and it was all
- 54:35Speaker 1: Linden over Sea Home ten to zero. It was good
- 54:37Speaker 1: to see Joe Benzi back behind the plate and he's
- 54:40Speaker 1: been dh most of the year with a nagging injury,
- 54:42Speaker 1: so it looks like they're pretty close to full health there,
- 54:44Speaker 1: which is really going to help them going forward. But
- 54:47Speaker 1: both teams are going to the State tournament, which which
- 54:51Speaker 1: is really really cool to see as well, now, what's
- 54:53Speaker 1: funny about that is, so when I was talked about
- 54:56Speaker 1: this a little earlier, Lyndon Christian and Seaholm played a
- 54:59Speaker 1: baseball game tonight, Monday night. It's unheard of. I don't
- 55:03Speaker 1: recall ever where teams have locked in positions for state
- 55:08Speaker 1: after the district tournament and they play a non league game.
- 55:12Speaker 1: But it's a great idea because iron sharpens iron. You're
- 55:15Speaker 1: talking about two really good teams playing against each other.
- 55:19Speaker 1: And it was, you know, it was a legit game.
- 55:21Speaker 1: You had Dan Johnson and Les Martin out there umpiring,
- 55:24Speaker 1: you had you know, the one hundred and five pitch count,
- 55:27Speaker 1: you know, rule in effect everything. I was out there
- 55:31Speaker 1: for that game, and you know, I think they just
- 55:34Speaker 1: kind of wanted to stay fresh. You know, they're not
- 55:37Speaker 1: going to play for until Saturday, so might as well
- 55:40Speaker 1: get some games in against some pitching and some live pitching.
- 55:43Speaker 1: And I just thought it was brilliant. See Home won
- 55:46Speaker 1: the game five to two. Both teams, you know, threw
- 55:50Speaker 1: a few a handful of pitchers, you know, like you know,
- 55:53Speaker 1: pitch like thirty forty pitches each, Get them, get another
- 55:56Speaker 1: guy in there, just keep guys fresh. It was great
- 55:58Speaker 1: to see and that, you know, huge respect between both
- 56:01Speaker 1: teams and huge respect from me as well, because that's
- 56:04Speaker 1: a really cool thing that they did. In the one
- 56:07Speaker 1: A State tournament, Lyndon Christian will get to play at
- 56:13Speaker 1: Joe Martin Stadium. That'll be at one o'clock and that
- 56:17Speaker 1: will be on Saturday against Natchez Valley. The winner of
- 56:22Speaker 1: that game will then play, i think like pretty much
- 56:26Speaker 1: right after that against the winner of Kings and Lakeside.
- 56:31Speaker 1: So great that it's close to home for Lynden Christian,
- 56:37Speaker 1: hoping they could take advantage of that because if you
- 56:39Speaker 1: get to the semi finals, these games will be at
- 56:41Speaker 1: Joe Martin Stadium in Bellingham, so if you can win
- 56:45Speaker 1: two of them, that'd be huge for them. Really excited
- 56:49Speaker 1: to see what they do at that one A State
- 56:51Speaker 1: Baseball tournament. In the two A State Baseball Tournament, we
- 56:55Speaker 1: have a couple of teams to look at here. Linden
- 56:57Speaker 1: is the eight seed, so they will be taking on five.
- 57:00Speaker 1: This will be at Bainbridge High School Saturday morning, ten o'clock,
- 57:05Speaker 1: so early morning game against five. This is the eight
- 57:07Speaker 1: to nine games, So they're talking about two teams that
- 57:09Speaker 1: are pretty evenly matched here and the winner will likely
- 57:13Speaker 1: have to take on the top seeded Bainbridge High School team.
- 57:17Speaker 1: So the number one seeded team, which you know is
- 57:21Speaker 1: not gonna be easy for anybody. They are twenty and
- 57:24Speaker 1: three on the season, so you know, good luck to
- 57:29Speaker 1: Lennen again. You have to win two. You gotta win
- 57:32Speaker 1: both games to get to the final four. So you
- 57:35Speaker 1: know it's gonna be tough for whoever can do it,
- 57:38Speaker 1: but it can be done. Seahome is the twelve seed.
- 57:41Speaker 1: They'll be taking on WF West Saturday at one o'clock
- 57:45Speaker 1: at chadal Park High School and then if they win
- 57:48Speaker 1: that game, they will play i think right after that
- 57:53Speaker 1: same venue against the winning at winner of West Valley
- 57:56Speaker 1: and Ording so again, and they're kind of on the
- 58:00Speaker 1: same side of the brackets. So like, let's just say
- 58:03Speaker 1: if Seahome and Lyndon both go too and Oh, then
- 58:05Speaker 1: they'll face each other in the semi finals at Joe
- 58:08Speaker 1: Martin Stadium. There's no chance of them facing each other
- 58:12Speaker 1: for the state championship. Let's just say that, but they
- 58:14Speaker 1: could be face they both go to and Oh, they'd
- 58:17Speaker 1: face each other in the semi finals, which would mean
- 58:19Speaker 1: at least one team would be playing for a state
- 58:21Speaker 1: title the following day, So which would you know? Of course,
- 58:25Speaker 1: obviously re ride up my alley. So that is what
- 58:29Speaker 1: the two A state tournament looks like. There. Let's take
- 58:32Speaker 1: a look at the stat leaders of course, tetlers, like
- 58:35Speaker 1: I said earlier, brought to you by j e KK
- 58:37Speaker 1: Sports Cards. And if you take a look at runs scored,
- 58:41Speaker 1: Gordy Bedlington of Lyndon and Braylan O'Brien of Ferndale, each
- 58:45Speaker 1: with twenty six runs scored on the season, base hit
- 58:49Speaker 1: Spencer Adams leading with thirty hits on the year. I
- 58:52Speaker 1: always say if you get twenty in a season, that's
- 58:54Speaker 1: pretty darn good. In doubles, Jad Geiger Seaholm leading the
- 58:58Speaker 1: way with eleven. Now I'm reading these these leaders before
- 59:02Speaker 1: totaling the stats of tonight's exhibition non conference game between
- 59:06Speaker 1: See Home and Lendin Chrishna. I haven't added those stats yet,
- 59:09Speaker 1: but hey, this is how it rolls. In triples, Joe
- 59:15Speaker 1: Harward of Bellingham four triples in home runs, Eli Stamps
- 59:18Speaker 1: of Linden Christian with three, and RBIs Spencer Adams of
- 59:22Speaker 1: Linden twenty three runs batted in he also leads with
- 59:25Speaker 1: a four to sixty nine batting average and stolen bases.
- 59:30Speaker 1: Joe Harward with twenty one. Unless Hudson Neff had one
- 59:34Speaker 1: or maybe more than one tonight, then he would be
- 59:36Speaker 1: right up there. He's only one away going into that
- 59:38Speaker 1: game that was already played tonight in walk Sam Cock
- 59:42Speaker 1: with twenty walks slugging percentage, Spencer Adams with a six
- 59:46Speaker 1: zho nine slugging percentage. Dawson ben Dalen of Linden has
- 59:50Speaker 1: been hit by a pitch twelve times that leads the
- 59:53Speaker 1: area and an on base percentage. Spencer Adams has an
- 59:56Speaker 1: on base percentage of five sixty four. Taking a look
- 59:59Speaker 1: at the wins, and I know that Garrett Gibbons of
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Seahome got the win tonight, so he's got seven wins
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: on the year. He's seven and one. The freshman really
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: excited for his, you know future and what that may hold.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: In saves. Gordy Belington of Lyndon and Aaron Garza of
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: Blaine each had two saves on the year. An innings pitched.
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: Hudson Johnson of Squalkin pitched fifty eight innings in strikeouts.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Josh Cochran of Blaine ended with eighty strikeouts on the season,
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: and in er this is always the tough one to
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: see because you got to have so many innings pitched,
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: and I don't have it calculated right away, so I'm
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: vamping as I'm doing math in my head and da
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: da da da dada da da da da da da da.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: And it looks like Ashton Vizzetti of Blaine has the
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: best era zero point six' eight. Now he's thrown thirty
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: and two thirds innings. Pretty sure that will be enough
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: to qualify. Garret Gibbons is throwing thirty five innings with
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: a zero point eight zero RA. Josh cochran zero point
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: nine to six ARA now givens pitch tonight, so that
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: that's gonna be changed a little bit. Let's have to
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: wait and see. I think he threw two maybe three innings,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: so so yeah, So those are the stat leaders and
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: that brings us to the Player of the Week, which
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: is brought to you by Sigg's Funeral and Cremation Services.
