  Speaker 1: one of the ones that got a hold of me.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: It's always funny how that happens. When usually when I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: get a hold of a company, it's like a twenty
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: percent chance that anything is gonna work. When companies get
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a hold of me, it's a one hundred percent chance.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: So that's what I love because I'm just gonna keep
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: plugging away doing what I'm doing, and then I'm going
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to wait for them to come to me.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: If times get really rough, yeah I'll go out and look.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But but things have been I've been too busy really
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to look.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: So uh. North County Alliance FC.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you for reaching out a couple of years ago
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and sticking around ever since and wanting to do it
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: now for the next few years as well.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: In it for the long haul. I love it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the league's standings here and it's a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of two way teams sitting at the top. But
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: nobody has a perfect record anymore, as Seahome is now
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: ten to zero to one and Linden is nine to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: one in one. Both of them played the Anti Chordus
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this past week. Anacurtus tied Seahome and a Chortus beat
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Lyndon there so Antichordus is also nine one and one.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So got a lot of these great this great competition.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: In the two A division, Squalkam is eight two and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: one and Bellyham is seven and four, So I mean
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the top five teams in the conference are all at
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: a two way, which makes for a crazy, crazy district
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: tournament and you add archbishop in there, and you know
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: who knows about Cedar Crest and who's who's good down there.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: But it's always going to be really really competitive. And again,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: if it's just two teams that come out of it,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: my goodness, Uh, there will be battle tested whichever two
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: it is. Uh Ferndale six three and two, Lyndy Christian
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: six four and one, oh Carver five five and one,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Seeder Willie five and six, Burlington Edison four five and two,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon three and four with four ties. My goodness,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Blaine is three and eight, Lake with one and seven
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: with three Tiesniksac Valley one and eight with one tie,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: i' meridy in one and ten at Mount Baker oh
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and ten. So it's really those two ways. And then
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Lynny Christian is making a big separate of themselves between
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: them and the other one A schools in the conference.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's gonna be interesting.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: There's just you know a little bit of time left
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: here in conference play until they get to the districts
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden there will be that you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: matches out at Blaine and out at Civic Stadium and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: out at Western for all these all these district, you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: know things, and it just it just kind of comes
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: out of nowhere. And now that we're in the middle
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of October already, it's it's going to be right around
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the corner. Let's take a look at the goal leaders,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and we do have a true top ten now as
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: we have ten different players that have scored.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: At least eight goals on the season, a three way type.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: For eighth place, Estella Seagull of Lennon, Christian Curra Reeves
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of Seahome, and Avery Riddle of Bellingham have all scored
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: eight goals each.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Seagull and Reeves are seniors. Avery Riddle is.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: A sophomore with nine goals on the year. It's Teaking
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Ambrose of Ferndale. She is a sophomore with ten goals
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: on the year, So this is a tie for fourth place.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's Blaine freshman Ruby Bellermino, and it's the Lynnon Christian
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: duo of Nyalas Spear and Kayln Hinton. Spear is a junior.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Hinton is a sophomore with twelve goals on the year.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It's Lynnon Christian senior Kayla Yun and then with fifteen
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: goals on the year. In second place, it's Addie Wilson,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the Squalocum sophomore, and leading the way is Ryan Bame of.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Seahome with sixteen goals. She is a senior.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So it's really starting to separate right there. I got
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to see it was actually my I can't believe it
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'm saying this, but it was my first time seeing
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Seahome girl soccer this year. I saw them on Saturday
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: against Ferndale. Looked extremely sharp and I know, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and it was coming off that tie against Ander Courdos.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I've seen them online, I just hadn't seen him in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: person yet. So that was really really good to see
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: in Ferndale quality opponents.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: So it did. It did tell me a lot there.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: There's just so many weapons that see Home has.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, up and down the roster, very
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: very impressive. So yeah, so let's let's take a look
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: at the Player of the Week. It's of course Player
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of the Week brought to you by North County Alliance.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And this was an interesting one. A lot of teams
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: played three matches this week and so that kind of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: makes things a little bit more I don't know, not jumbled, but.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: There's a lot more to look at.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And check out everything. But I'm gonna give it to
• 14:35

  Speaker 2: She scored five goals this.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Week to power the Pioneers to two wins in their
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: three matches. So even though Nutsack Valley is down in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the standings a little bit, they had a really, really
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: good week. She scored once earlier in the week, she

  Speaker 1: that's gonna be very very exciting. We'll talk about that
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. But they are all nine and
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: oh in conference play, very very impressive. I've seen them
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: all multiple times in person, and you know, it's it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: tricky because where do you give the edge.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: To what team?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I think Lyndon probably has the size advantage there,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: seem probably has the overall depth, Ferndo has the best defense.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tricky. It's uh, it's they.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Start playing each other and it's about matchups after that.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm really really excited to see these teams go
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: at it. Also, Nickzack Valley seven and two on the year,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: right behind the two A and three A schools.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: They they defeated Meridian.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: This week in a five set, an amazing five set
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: match Meridian six and three, Linny Christian also six and three,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So Meridian, Lenny Christian, Knuxack Valley all jumbled in right there.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Nuckzack Valley has that one game advantage after beating those
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: two schools earlier this year, so so they do hold
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a little bit of an advantage there. And it's it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: very very impressive because it's they're all so good and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: they're probably all ranked when we wait till the new
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: rankings come out for the volleyball top ten in the state,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: but they're probably going to be all ranked in the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: top ten again, and it's a shame that one of
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: them will not be able to go onto state. So
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: pretty crazy there. Burlington, Edison and Squalicum are each five
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and four on the year, while Bellingham is four and five.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Bellingham did defeat Squalakum earlier in the week so to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, they're only a game behind them
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: So Blaine is three and six, ok Haarb two and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: seven along with Mount Vernon, Seuzer, Woollye, and Lakewood, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: then Antichortus is one in eight, Mount Bakers oh to nine.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's it's that's starting to thin out
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit as well, getting down to the new
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: addy gritty. Once everybody's played each other one time, it
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: really stands out.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Of who the best teams are right now.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Of course we have the three way tie for first place,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: which makes things extremely exciting. We do love to see that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the weekly stat Leaders.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Stat Leaders is brought to you by APEX from Northwest
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Volleyball Club and they are a nonprofit that has practice
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: facilities in Bellingham, Linden, and Ferndale and offer opportunities in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: learning volleyball skills and competitive play for girls ages ten
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: through eighteen. A large part of their goal involves building
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: an inclusive volleyball program and community that desires to further
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the love of the game. They welcome athletes from all
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: over to come and join them as they continue to grow,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: travel to competitive tournaments, and provide opportunities for athletes to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: play club volleyball. They emphasize playing in a positive, nurturing environment,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: teaching the concepts of teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun. Their
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: goal is to spot APEX Northwest athletes and reaching their
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: goals of playing at the middle school, high school, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: college levels.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: So let's take at well, let me just mention too,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you can visit.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Them online at apex NW Volleyball Club dot org look
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: for tryouts and all those different things coming up, and yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's a lot of fun, awesome coaches, some
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: tremendous players that come out of there. So they sponsored
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the stat leaders. So let's take a look at the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: stat leaders. To start with kills per set, it's still
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Finley Parture of Lyndon leading at four point six 'y five,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: followed by Tayo Debay, Hayden Vadomski, Melanie Short who gave
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: us the intro, and Grace d'hoague. So a lot of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: big time hitters up there, but Finley Parcher are about
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: a little more than half a kill per set ahead
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of the everybody else, so still leading the pack there.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The junior out of London in diggs per set, it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Katrina Ferry of Ferndale jumping up to four point seven eight.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Campbell to Young is shot up to second place, followed
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: by Tao Dubay, McKenna Andrews, and Lexi Herman. And it's
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive to see two Linden players in there, very
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: very impressive. You look at aces per set page Floory
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of Seahome still leads the way zero point nine aces perset,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: followed closely by Katrina Ferry of Ferndale, Melanie Short of Meridian,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Jada Knutson of Bellingham, and Brooklyn Larabee of Ferndale. And
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you look at assists per set, and it's been going
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: back and forth. Taylor Terrell had it last week, Ella
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Fritz of Linden Christian grabs it back this week.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: She's at nine point eighty.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Five assists per set, followed by Taylor Terrell of Seahome,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Izzy Stephen of Lyndon, Chloe Bresler of Meridian, and Peyton
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Bartell of Noufsak Valley. Right behind them too is Brooklyn
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Larrabee of Ferndale. So you can't just look at it
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and go, oh, the best setters have the most assists,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: because I'd be hard prized to say Brooklyn Larrabie is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: not the best setter. She is tremendous, but it's a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: lot of the other things she does too. If she
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: was an outside hitter, she would be in the top
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: five and killed. There's no doubt in my mind that's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the kind of player she is, and then at blocks
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: per set, we have a tie for first place Elizabeth
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: de Langham Nokzac Belly and Rebecca Soaurus of Mount Baker,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: both at zero point nine to five blocks per set.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Allie Wright and Jocelyn Sis of Lenny Christian in third
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and fourth, and Ryan Stephen of Lindon is in fifth.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And now it's time to look at the players of
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the week. Of course, the Defensive Player of the Week
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: is sponsored by Acceleration Driving School in Lindon. Check out
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School and Linden. Give Kevin a call at
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: three six zero seven four six four five six seven
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and tell him you heard about them on the WACOM
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Preps podcast. Well, when I look at the offensive player
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of the week, I love what Bellingham did this week.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: You know they had to come come from behind when
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: against Lakewood earlier in the week there were down two
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: sets to zero. Come back and win that one three
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to two. Ride that momentum and go squalk them on
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the road. My offensive player of the week is sophomore
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Sonoma Smith of Bellingham, one of the best athletes in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the county. When she gets going, her hangtime is crazy
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and she puts a thud into that ball that echoes
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: throughout the gym. So congratulations to Sonoma Smith of Bellingham
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: on being named the Offensive Player of the Week, the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School and Linden Defensive Player of the Week.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I'm giving this one to Rebecca Sores, the junior at
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: a Mount Baker. She had a ton of blocks this week,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: elevating herself to a first place tie with Elizabeth DeLange.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: She's just and she's very very new to the sport,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: just her second year ever playing the sport. Last year
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: started on JV, finished the year on Verirsity and this
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: year just her natural athletic ability has is starting to
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: mold with her learning the game and knowing kind of
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: what to do and at six foot three knows how
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to position herself to get blocked and she's doing a
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: fantastic job doing so. So congratulations to Rebecca Sores of
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker, she is your Acceleration Driving School in Lindon
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Defensive Player.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Of the Week.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this upcoming week now, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: there's some there's something happening every single day. I really
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: love that. Let's take a look at Monday. When I
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: look at Monday, the big things that stand up to me.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Boys tennis Bellingham at Sea Home at four thirty, And
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it doesn't say that it's a conference matchup, which makes sense.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Sence they just played a conference matchup last week. But
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just kind of a tune up at the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: end of the year. They might be jocking some things
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: around as far as singles and doubles.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm really intrigued.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: But it is by far the two best boys tennis
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: teams in the area, so when they go out, when
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: they face each other, that's a great thing to see.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: So check that out on Monday at four thirty at
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Seahome High School.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Later on that night, I love this matchup.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Volleyball Ferndale Atland and Christian seven o'clock. That's gonna be
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: a great, great test for Ferndale and for Linden Christian.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Lenny Christian has been tested a little bit already. Ferndale
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: has two. But and I was at this match last
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: year when it was at Ferndale, and I want to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: say that Ferndale won, but it was really really close.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Linnen Christian huge size.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Advantage here, but Ferndale, like I said, I mean, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: this is a lot of this will be defense versus defense,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: so you could.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: See some long volleys.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And when I talk about they are different defenses, you're
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: talking about the front wall of Lyndon Christian and then
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the back court of Ferndale, so you know, two varying
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: styles of play.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Really excited for this one out at else at seven
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: o'clock on Monday night. When you take a look at Tuesday, boy,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: it stands out. Go out to Seahome High School at
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock. Indoors or outdoors, it doesn't matter. Outdoors, it's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: girls soccer Linden at Seahome. That's a matchup that we've
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: all been waiting for all year. And then if you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: go inside, it's and see home volleyball. So I mean
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that's about as good as it gets. This is where
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I wish I could clone myself because I want to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: see both of these in their entirety. I'm probably gonna
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: be there popping in and out, in and out, just
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth. Hopefully someone can be
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: at the backside door there so I can knock on
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the door and just come back into the gym when
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I need to. But boy, it's going to be incredible.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I can't wait for this again be out at Sea
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Home Tuesday night at seven o'clock indoors or outdoors. You
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: will not be disappointed Wednesday. When I take a look
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: at Wednesday seven o'clock at Squalkum High School Volleyball, Lyndon
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Christian back in town to take on the Storm. This
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: is one where with the improvement of the Storm so far,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: this is this is one where they're planning as a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: team with a better record, but they have that chance
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to like if they can, if they show me that
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: they can win this one, they're taking that next step
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and I think they have the ability to do that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Lenny Christian is going to be coming off that tough
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: one against Ferndale, then they go on the road and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: play Squalkum. This could be a tough one for them,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So I think this could be This could go, you know,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: four or five sets. I'm really excited about that one.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: That's Wednesday night. Out at Squalkum at seven o'clock Thursday
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Thursday is loaded. My goodness, there is so much going on.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Let's start off with three thirty in the afternoon out
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: of Arnie Hannah Aquatic Center see home at Squalicum Girls Swimming.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be really good see them.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be favored in this one, but Squallyum's got
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: some pretty good swimmers.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: And they could make it interesting. Really interested to see
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: what happens there. And then you got.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Girls soccer at four o'clock out at Benderfield's Ferndale at Lindon.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be really really good, you know, check.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: That out Ferndale.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Ferndale's a very very good team and Lindon Lynnen just
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: knows how to win. They finally suffered their first loss
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: last week, so it was a rough one last week.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: They had a tie and and a loss. It was
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: just kind of unique for them. U so far as
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: the season's been.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Going along in Ferndale, you know, they're pretty darn good.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: So that should be a good one. Out at four
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: o'clock at Benderfield's. Cross Country go out to Lake Padden.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: This will be at five o'clock. They have the Lake

  Speaker 2: Will be there.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Out at Lake Padden Girls and Boys five o'clock. Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that'll be a fun race there. I always love races
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: out at Lake Padden. It's beautiful setting. It's an area
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that I know, extremely well done. A lot of stuff
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: out there, you know, in my youth and as an adult,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: so it's always a really fun place. And to see
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to have seven of the eleven schools from the county
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: be there, that's fantastic as well.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: So that should be a lot of fun.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And then later on that night at seven o'clock out
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: at Squalicum Girls soccer lynnon Christian at Squalalkam. This is
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: again a big, big test for both teams. I think
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: this is a really even and you know, this is
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: kind of a pick them to me, like, you know,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I could see it going either way. I could see
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this ending in a tie, to be very honest. And
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: also that night, how about this one volleyball Ferndale at London.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Both teams are undefeated. Baby, by that time they won't
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: be undefeated, but as of now they are. So Ferndale
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: at London, seven o'clock Jake Mayberry Gymnasium Volleyball Ferndale at
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: London's gonna be awesome. So Thursday is a loaded day,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you got, I mean? And I'm not I mean, I'm
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: just talking about the big events that I want to see.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about every single thing that's going on.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: But Thursday's got the girls swimming, the earlier soccer, the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: cross country, and then the later soccer and then the
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: later volleyball all.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Happening that same day.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Gonna be impossible for me to see it all, but
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to check out everything that I can.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Of course, Friday night will have football, and then on Saturday,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: check out volleyball out at Mount Baker at two o'clock
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon, Orchest Island making the t over to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: take on the Mountaineers. Mount Baker volleyball has really improved
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: throughout the season, especially in the last two or three weeks,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: so I really urge a lot of you to go
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: out there and check them out because you could root
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: them on. They're gonna try to pick up their first
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: win against Orchest Island.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I really think it can happen.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: So let's, you know, let's try to cheer them on
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and have that happen, because I really do think it
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: is a possibility. So that's about it. I mean, we've
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: gone over everything again. I'm apologized for cross country Nike
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Hole in the Wall run. I do not have the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: results for that. I'll be getting those as soon as
