• 0:00
  This is Forno senior Baylor Larrybee and you're listening to the walcome Preps podcast with
• 0:05
  Tyler and Ryland. It's a matter of pride. Greetings and welcome into the
• 0:26
  watcom Preps podcast. This is episode at two and forty nine of Spring Sports,
• 0:31
  a weekly wrap up. I'm Ryland Spencer. Along with me as always
• 0:34
  is Tyler Anderson of watcom Preps. Tyler, how are we doing? I
• 0:38
  am doing fantastic. I'm a little tired, but once you started reading all
• 0:42
  that stuff, it just brought a smile to my face. Doing what I
• 0:46
  love. And here we go again. The Anderson train is ready to go
• 0:49
  too. Tyler. It is spring break for me this coming week, and
• 0:57
  I have never been happier for spring break, well not since I was about
• 1:00
  twenty three have I been this happy for spring break. My goodness, unbelievable
• 1:06
  week for me. It was just crazyness going on at the school and everything.
• 1:08
  Everybody was all just gung ho to get on spring break, you know
• 1:11
  what I mean. And all of the pretty much all of the coaches went
• 1:15
  to Montana this week to go to UH to go watch some spring practices and
• 1:19
  see if there's anything that we can pick up out there that we like,
• 1:22
  and so yeah, kind of left back, you know alone, defend for
• 1:26
  myself if you will, but uh, I'm sure you'll be just fine.
• 1:30
  Oh yes, it was crazy. I could not be happier to at least
• 1:34
  get a little bit of time this week to breathe, if you will.
• 1:37
  Yeah. But that being said, Tyler, we need to give a thank
• 1:41
  you to Baylor Larrybie Ferndale, senior golfer in future UCLA brewin. Huh,
• 1:46
  Tyler, Yeah, pretty awesome. You know we mentioned him in the last
• 1:49
  podcast again when you throw these out, when you go, man, we
• 1:53
  gonna get him to do an intro. Yeah, that's all it takes,
• 1:57
  man, And and we were I was able to track him down. He
• 2:00
  was in Hawaii, uh and uh on his spring break, and they always
• 2:06
  takes some take some time. I would imagine you got a little golf in.
• 2:08
  Oh yeah. I mean if he doesn't go play a couple of rounds
• 2:12
  of golf while he's in Hawaii, then I don't know who he really is,
• 2:15
  right right? So uh so, yeah, so that was really cool,
• 2:19
  And yeah, I appreciate that. Always appreciate when they get the intro
• 2:23
  sent over it's always a really cool thing. And and uh, I don't
• 2:27
  know if I want to, you know, this whole walk them preps versus
• 2:30
  the preps thing. I don't know if I want to try to out drive
• 2:32
  him or anything, but it'd be fun to kind of put around on a
• 2:36
  little putting green with him and just talk golf for a little bit. There's
• 2:38
  got to be that time and we go around and do these things. I
• 2:40
  think it'd be a lot of fun. Dude, Tyler, you and I
• 2:44
  would be up there going happy Gilmore and he'd still be out driving us.
• 2:46
  Yeah, that's that's funny. You mentioned that, because the way that I
• 2:50
  putt actually is out happy putts, like with a hockey stick, not actually
• 2:54
  using a hot, but the way you hold the hot you're saying your hands
• 2:58
  further down the Yeah, so you look like a complete idiot out there trying
• 3:01
  to putt. Oh, yeah, Tyler, we need to give it thanks
• 3:05
  to Kurt Mayberry Farm. Kurt Mayberry Farm dot Com is the website. They
• 3:08
  are a fourth generation, family owned and operated berry farm committed to growing the
• 3:13
  highest quality berries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Over at Kurt Mayberry
• 3:16
  Farm and the website Kurt with the c M A b E r R Y
• 3:21
  Farm dot com. Tyler, we got a lot of stuff to talk about,
• 3:24
  even though there wasn't really a ton going on this week in Wacome County.
• 3:29
  We're gonna kind of reset some things, kind of. I mean,
• 3:32
  I guess in a way, this is kind of like the halfway point,
• 3:36
  you know, like, yeah, it's kind of not, but it kind
• 3:38
  of is, like it kind of gives you a a spot to It's kind
• 3:42
  of like the Baseball All Star Game. Everybody you know always talks about it
• 3:45
  being the midway point. It's not, you know what I mean, Like,
• 3:47
  it's like actually a couple weeks late. But yeah, so that's kind
• 3:51
  of where we're at. So we're gonna kind of reset some things. But
• 3:53
  in theory, this should be a much shorter podcast than usual because there's just
• 3:59
  not a whole lot of time talk about this week. Well, there isn't
• 4:00
  baseball. There's a lot of baseball. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot
• 4:04
  of baseball. A lot of the other sports almost kind of took a week
• 4:08
  off. But but yeah, we got lots to talk about here before we
• 4:12
  get into it, though, Tyler, if somebody wants to reach out.
• 4:14
  There's still an opportunity. I mean, like I said, if we're at
• 4:16
  the halfway point here, there's still some things that need to be sponsored,
• 4:19
  most notably Tyler the Girls, excuse me, the Fast Pitch sponsor for the
• 4:26
  Player of the week. I think that's a big one that it still blows
• 4:29
  me away. Yeah, that's the big one that I'm I'm surprised that it
• 4:32
  hasn't been snatched up yet. There's also the Fast Pitch daily recaps. Yeah,
• 4:38
  there's anything golf, anything tennis. So so yeah, there's there's a
• 4:44
  there's availability out there, and all you gotta do is just reach out to
• 4:47
  me through social media. Just look for Walk and Preps, send me a
• 4:50
  personal message, or you can send me a text three six zero six eight
• 4:55
  four four three zero six, or call me. I'm not one of those
• 4:59
  people that go, oh, I don't know this number, I'm not going
• 5:00
  to answer. I'll definitely answer if I hear my phone. So I actually
• 5:04
  got a new phone a couple of days ago. Yeah, so that was
• 5:10
  that's kind of a new thing for me. So this is my second smartphone.
• 5:15
  Wow, goodbye to the flip phone. No, I don't even know
• 5:16
  what you had before time. No, no, I had a smartphone,
• 5:19
  but but I had it for you know, quite a few years and it
• 5:25
  was pretty jacked up. So I uh so, yeah, this was a
• 5:28
  good This was a good thing. It's so much faster, especially in the
• 5:30
  game Changer app that could really you know, tear my battery down. But
• 5:33
  this is going great. Yeah, I mean I can only imagine what what
• 5:36
  are you working with now? Oh? I just said I have They even
• 5:41
  asked me like, what kind of phone do you have? I'm like,
• 5:42
  I have no idea. They're like, open up your settings and I'm like
• 5:45
  I don't even know how to do that. And they're like, you're like,
• 5:46
  here, you do it. Yeah, that's exactly what I did.
• 5:49
  And then they go, oh, you have a Samsung Galaxy A ten.
• 5:51
  And I was like okay, and I said, just give me something that's
• 5:56
  exactly the same, so I know where all everything is. I don't want
• 6:00
  to be confused. I just I just need it to be updated, maybe
• 6:02
  have more room and maybe a little bit bigger screen. So that's what I
• 6:06
  got, and you know, more than anything, the worst part of getting
• 6:10
  a new phone, Tyler, you gotta go log into everything again. Yeah,
• 6:14
  I learned that. Yeah, that's that's true. And it didn't take
• 6:16
  long for me to get everything over to the new phone. But yeah,
• 6:18
  once I like had to get into this or get into that, you know,
• 6:23
  I was like, oh, yeah, I gotta log in. But
• 6:25
  I think I'm all caught up now, so uh so, and I think
• 6:29
  I'll be able to take some better, you know, pregame video type.
• 6:31
  Yeah. Sure, it'll be a little clearer, and so I'm excited about
• 6:34
  that. Yeah, that'll come in handy next next what December when you're posting
• 6:41
  videos of the girls basketball dribbling balls and it's going to like a billion people
• 6:45
  on Instagram or whatever the heck it want. Yeah, I don't know how
• 6:46
  that happens. It just happens. Still don't understand it, But away we
• 6:49
  go, Tyler. Let's start off. We'll talk track and field and track
• 6:53
  and Field is sponsored by Staffer Insurance nineteen oh three, Front Street and Lindon
• 6:57
  three six zero seven four six eighty eighty eight oh three. The website Staffer
• 7:02
  Insurance dot com, s T A U F F E R Insurance dot com.
• 7:08
  Our guy Marty up there. Big sponsors. They love, they love
• 7:11
  Walkam Prep. So uh, it's it's always fun talking staff for insurance.
• 7:15
  You know, we need to do one of these days. We just need
• 7:16
  to have like Marty on and get like, what are your best Tyler Anderson
• 7:20
  stories? Then we definitely gotta get them on. Or maybe what we do
• 7:29
  is, how about this, Tyler, here's an idea. Remember how in
• 7:32
  the fall we have Randy Small on, like, you know, given a
• 7:36
  weather forecast. What if just every week we had somebody record a good Tyler
• 7:41
  Anderson story and I just slung it in somewhere right in the middle of the
• 7:44
  podcast. Oh, is this gonna be walkingm Prep Stories instead of Walking Prep
• 7:47
  spotted You're gonna yeah, started Instagram account. I mean you just kind of
• 7:51
  started it in with your new phone. You can actually have more than one
• 7:55
  Instagram account. Tyler. Hey, let's talk boys leaders the So not a
• 8:01
  ton going on last week, Tyler, But you told me there were two
• 8:03
  invites. I guess yeah on Saturday. Less than half the schools from Walking
• 8:07
  County participated this week, So there, like you said, there wasn't a
• 8:11
  ton, I you know, one out of out of the area, but
• 8:13
  one in the area. I went out to Civic Stadium on Saturday. Got
• 8:16
  it was just the perfect time I got there. You know, it's a
• 8:20
  long event, thirty schools, Burger Solberg Invitational, always a really cool event,
• 8:26
  and I got there about an hour and a half into it, which
• 8:28
  I had learned from seeing a few other photographers there that I missed the downpour
• 8:35
  rain, which is great, marvelous. So yeah, so I was able
• 8:37
  to go there, get some pictures, see some really good athletes, and
• 8:41
  and get out. But but yeah, it was it's that that's always a
• 8:46
  lot, a lot of fun and and it's crazy too because sometimes when the
• 8:50
  weather's not great, uh, you'll see maybe not as good at times,
• 8:54
  but there were some pretty good times put up at that event. Now,
• 8:58
  was that the one my guy Kyle was at? Yes? How did he
• 9:01
  do? Do you know? He won? I think he threw like one
• 9:05
  hundred and ninety five feet. I think he had one that maybe went over
• 9:09
  two hundred, but he scratched on it. And but it really impressive to
• 9:13
  see him throw. They throw, but they throw the javelin behind the visiting
• 9:18
  stands. Okay, yeah, and so that's kind of the area where you
• 9:20
  have a yeah we're all that grasses. Yeah, yeah, So so that
• 9:24
  was really cool. I mean, you know, like you said, he
• 9:26
  looks the part, but you know, with the scratch and everything, you
• 9:30
  could tell he's still kind of raw and new to it. But man,
• 9:33
  what a what a future he has? Well, like I think I told
• 9:37
  you before a year ago, this time, he was not taking it serious,
• 9:41
  right, he was just he was out there basically with his buddies having
• 9:43
  a good time, you know, and now all of a sudden, here
• 9:46
  he is. I think I sent it to you the other day. He's
• 9:48
  like fourth in the nation. Yeah, which is just unreal. I mean,
• 9:54
  yeah, it's it's really blowing a lot of people away at Bothel because
• 9:58
  we're all sitting here going, wait, what like fourth in the nation,
• 10:01
  Like, how the heck did that happen? And I don't know if I've
• 10:03
  told you this, but we have a girl who's a sophomore this year who's
• 10:07
  like fourth in the nation in pole Vault. Yeah. I don't know where
• 10:11
  that one came from. Yeah, isn't that weird. It's just sometimes you
• 10:16
  know, those those niche events you can just find, you know, find
• 10:20
  some gold there somehow and just let it go. Yeah. One of my
• 10:22
  good friends is the is the JAB coach. Yeah, I have to kind
• 10:28
  of like keep him grounded a little bit right now. All of a sudden,
• 10:31
  he's he's walking around his chin up a little bit more than normal,
• 10:33
  you know what I mean, Like, yeah, thinking he's hot stuff.
• 10:35
  I told him it's all pure luck. But Tyler, let's well, there's
• 10:39
  another there was a boppup kid that got second too, so he's got there's
• 10:43
  a couple of reales that are pretty good. So your buddy might be onto
• 10:46
  something. He might he might know a thing or two. No, no,
• 10:52
  no, that's definitely not the case. Let's see here, let's talk
• 10:56
  Uh, let's go through and we'll talk about the Like I said before,
• 11:01
  it could kind of be like a reset of everything. Here. Let's talk
• 11:05
  about the the best times in the county for each of the events, and
• 11:11
  we'll start off on the boys side, and Tyler, we're gonna start off
• 11:15
  with one guy for the one hundred, the two hundred, and the four
• 11:18
  hundred, because one dude right now is killing everybody. Yeah, Jase clintcamer
• 11:24
  from Meridian. He's been so fun to watch over the years. You know,
• 11:26
  I remember seeing him as a sophomore dominating back then, even and and
• 11:33
  he hasn't let up. It's it's a lot of fun to see him in
• 11:35
  person. It looks it just looks crazy. I mean, is the I
• 11:39
  think the most impressive one is the two hundred meter time in under twenty two
• 11:43
  seconds. You just don't see that very often at all. He's getting near
• 11:48
  the top of like close to breaking not just school records, but walka county
• 11:52
  records. Really really impressive to see him coming around that bend on the two
• 11:58
  hundred, he's just man, he just glides and uh and he runs.
• 12:01
  He runs with power too, and it and I'm not surprised at all to
• 12:07
  see him up there. He's been kind of jocking positions a little bit here
• 12:09
  and there with different guys, but as of now he's at the top and
• 12:13
  and at the one A level. Bringing those kind of numbers in there,
• 12:16
  you could be looking at some big time hardware come late May, Tyler.
• 12:20
  I just looked it up really quickly to see who the other kid was that
• 12:24
  was throwing the javelin. Yeah, both football players. Well there you go,
• 12:28
  Ezra Gieshbreck was the other one, and he's uh, he was a
• 12:30
  wide receiver outside linebacker for us. This year. So hey, something to
• 12:33
  be said about multi sport athletes. That's right. Let's see hear eight hundred
• 12:37
  meters Tyler, two laps around the track? Who do you got? Chase
• 12:41
  Bartlett from Squalakum, he's been kind of taking taking this one the whole year.
• 12:45
  Uh under two minutes, that's just crazy. You don't see that a
• 12:48
  ton one fifty five sixty four. That's a really really good time. And
• 12:54
  that eight hundred meters, like I said, is always that that that kind
• 12:58
  of that tweener of long dist since in a sprint, you gotta you gotta
• 13:01
  come out and run hard because you're just gonna do two laps. But are
• 13:05
  you gonna make it? How are you gonna run on that second lap?
• 13:07
  Are you going to really try to push it? When do you? When
• 13:09
  do you push it? Uh? That's that's always a really intriguing race to
• 13:13
  watch. How about what are we sixteen hundred that's what? Four laps around?
• 13:20
  Yeah? Four laps around really really close to a mile. Uh.
• 13:24
  Nick Gargano from Seahome the Junior's he overtook that as the top as the top
• 13:31
  time now in Walking County. He did it on Saturday. There's a lot
• 13:33
  of really good competition. And sometimes when you're making those you know, like
• 13:37
  those if you're raising in those big races with so many schools, all of
• 13:41
  a sudden, you'll you'll you'll put up a pr because you're pushing it against
• 13:46
  other athletes that you haven't seen yet that are better than you. And that's
• 13:50
  kind of what he did. He ended up, I mean, he didn't
• 13:52
  he didn't win, but he finished in the top five, I believe.
• 13:56
  And so by doing that, he just put up his own personal record.
• 14:01
  And now he's the Walkham County leader. And another fun fact too, is
• 14:03
  that his dad has been the long time doctor to Miss Walkham Preps so and
• 14:11
  so and and and close friend too so and he's he's retiring in May.
• 14:15
  I know that Miss walker Preps is not exactly thrilled about that because doctor Gargano
• 14:22
  has been in her life for half of her life basically, and with all
• 14:26
  the medical issues and stuff, it's it's gonna be a different it's gonna be
• 14:30
  you know, it's gonna be different after that. But but one of her
• 14:33
  favorite people, and so that's really cool that his son now is the top
• 14:37
  is the top time in the sixteen hundred. Yeah, and you mentioned that
• 14:41
  he did it over the weekend and that is the only new top time we
• 14:45
  have for the for the county this week. But we are talking just kind
• 14:48
  of resetting the whole thing, so let's uh, let's continue to talk.
• 14:52
  Here. We're at thirty two hundred meters basically two miles here. Yeah,
• 14:58
  Owen Voight from Squalakum just to over nine and a half minutes. That's again,
• 15:01
  that's just just crazy for for eight laps, nine and a half minutes,
• 15:07
  that's a really really impressive time by the Squalum runner one hundred and ten
• 15:13
  meter hurdles Tyler Hunter deshenis from from Bellingham. I you know he's he put
• 15:20
  up this very similar time as well over the weekend and you know, you
• 15:26
  start, you get under sixteen seconds in the one ten high hurdles and that's
• 15:31
  that's really picking them up and putting him down and that like again, these
• 15:35
  are those runners that are you know, you hear them doing like the one
• 15:37
  two three four jump one two. You know they have everything set exactly how
• 15:41
  it is. It's really it's really mind boggling to know that they can do
• 15:45
  that and still put out the effort and get a good time like that.
• 15:48
  Now, let's see what day was it. I think Thursday we had a
• 15:54
  we had a meet up at Bothel and after baseball, I was walking by
• 15:58
  and I saw them, I'm doing the three hundred hurdles. Oh my goodness,
• 16:03
  what a ridiculous race. Like I don't know how they do it.
• 16:07
  I don't know how they do one hundred and ten, let alone three hundred.
• 16:08
  But I was watching that and Tyler they were just absolutely flying. I
• 16:12
  don't know what the times were that day, but forty two point seven to
• 16:15
  one seems like it's really fast, and that's the top time here in the
• 16:18
  county. Yeah, that's that's that's a really good time. Dane Bischeline from
• 16:22
  from Meridian just a really good He's just got really good speed. But he's
• 16:26
  always been one of the top hurdlers over the last few years in the in
• 16:32
  the county. I mean Andre Korbmacher from Squalkum. He put up these crazy
• 16:38
  times, like unheard of times in the one ten and the three hundred.
• 16:42
  He just graduated this last year and now he's doing the hurdles at Florida State.
• 16:47
  But he he ran he you know, he would put up these unbelievable
• 16:51
  times, But Dane Bischline was always one of those, really like he was
• 16:53
  always right there. So now he's kind of owning that now as the top
• 16:57
  longer distance hurdler, and and he can compete in the one ten as well,
• 17:02
  so he might be taking over that time from Hunter from Bellingham. He's
• 17:06
  a really really good hurdler. Let's see here four by one hundred relay.
• 17:11
  Yeah, I'm Meridan. We mentioned some of these guys. Jays Kleinkamer gained
• 17:15
  Bichline joined by Josh dein Elmer our good friend there and Caleb Young really good
• 17:21
  time of forty three point seven eight the four by one hundred. I mean,
• 17:25
  so much of it is, yeah, you gotta you know, you
• 17:26
  gotta be fast and all that, but the communication handing the baton and picking
• 17:32
  your runners because two of them are going to run a pretty much straight line
• 17:34
  and two of them are going to be running around the bend. You know,
• 17:37
  how do you you know? You say, well, this guy's really
• 17:40
  good at the two hundred, maybe he's really good at running around the bend.
• 17:41
  Maybe this really guy's you know, is just better straight line speed.
• 17:45
  So you kind of there's a lot of uh, you know, figuring that
• 17:48
  out and trying to see how you're going to do that race. And Meridian's
• 17:52
  got it down right now. Squalcum leading the four by four hundred relay.
• 17:59
  Yeah, this is a really good group. Marcus Nixon, obviously we know
• 18:02
  about him, Ty Hoffman to see him on the basketball court. Chase Bartlett,
• 18:06
  who's you know, is the top time getter in the eight hundred,
• 18:08
  and Tiaguan daughters who can run an eleven point one one hundred meters dash.
• 18:12
  They all have these different aspects to them, but what they're all really good
• 18:15
  at is they can get around that lap once really fast. Four by four
• 18:19
  hundred is classically the last race of the night. It's a good way to
• 18:22
  close it. You usually see a really close time and a lot of a
• 18:26
  lot of tense moments on that last handoff going down the straightaway. It's it's
• 18:32
  it's really really cool to see that final lap and see how that all goes.
• 18:36
  And right now, squalkme's got a great time of under three and a
• 18:38
  half minutes, unbelievable. Let's talk field events now and one large individual to
• 18:45
  two leaders right now, shot put and discus for one kid, Yeah,
• 18:49
  Kean Coppinger. You know, he he's just so big and strong, about
• 18:53
  six three, two hundred and eighty five pounds, just just built differently,
• 18:59
  just so massive. Shot put he's nearing fifty feet forty nine feet three and
• 19:04
  a half inches, and then the disc has put up a pr a little
• 19:08
  over a week ago at out at Meridian in high school over one hundred and
• 19:11
  sixty feet one hundred and sixty feet and six inches. I was standing there
• 19:15
  next to a couple of all time leaders in their school history, Brian Noy
• 19:22
  of Mount Baker who threw one hundred and fifty five feet in the late nineties
• 19:26
  and Joey Spolstra who's coaching at Meridi now. But he I think he's got
• 19:33
  the all time distance or Lynden Christian at around one hundred and sixty feet.
• 19:37
  So these are some big time athletes that are watching that watched him do this.
• 19:41
  It was really cool to witness it. And he's he just got it
• 19:45
  down. I think he's just gonna keep improving. And one of his teammates,
• 19:51
  the leader in the javelin, yeah, Joey Brown. I thought Kayan
• 19:55
  was gonna snap the javelin to him and then so he could throw it,
• 19:59
  because you know, he's the center for Kaya and Keen, you know what
• 20:02
  I mean. But no, Joey Brown, you know, we've talked about
• 20:06
  him so much, such such a great athlete, and now I was talking
• 20:08
  to Alex Mololi about this. Who Alex is? You know, we know
• 20:11
  Alex. He's a he's a really good athlete, obviously, and he throws
• 20:15
  javelin from out from Mount Baker. And I was talking to him after the
• 20:19
  event. They all the javelin players were coming over. I said, how'd
• 20:22
  you do? And He's like, yeah, yeah, I did all right.
• 20:23
  He's pretty really humble kid. And then he goes, he goes,
• 20:27
  Joey went off, and he can do that from time to time. You
• 20:30
  know. It's like, yeah, Joey one hundred and sixty seven feet and
• 20:34
  seven inches. I don't think that's his personal record, and I think he'll
• 20:40
  you know, he'll get up there in the one seventies probably, and but
• 20:45
  yeah, just really really it's I love watching the javelin. That's one of
• 20:48
  the first events I'll go to when I go to a track and field event.
• 20:52
  I think I've been to five or six of them so far this year.
• 20:53
  I'll go straight to the I'll go straight to the javelin first and just
• 20:57
  watch that because it is just really cool to see and along with like long
• 21:02
  jumps, I always locked those as well. What do you say the number
• 21:06
  was one hundred and sixty seven feet and seven inches. Wow. Yeah,
• 21:10
  that's a that's a heck of a throw. I mean, it's pretty crazy
• 21:12
  that Cobbinger gets almost there with the discus too. I mean, that's no,
• 21:18
  it's unbelievable. That's pretty wild. Tyler. If if we had a
• 21:22
  track athlete of the week, I got a feeling it might have been this
• 21:25
  next guy, because we've already mentioned his name a couple of times, and
• 21:29
  he's the leader in the high jump as well. Yeah, we we joked
• 21:32
  about it off the air, Jase Clinkhammer leading in the high jump at five
• 21:36
  foot ten h you're only allowed to do four events at an event, and
• 21:41
  he's the leader in five of them. You know, it kind of reminds
• 21:44
  me of some of those swimmers that we saw, you know, Dylan Fisk
• 21:47
  and Miles Kratzenberg, where they're leading in so many events when you're only allowed
• 21:51
  to do so many. That really shows the dominance five foot ten though,
• 21:56
  I mean that's a that's a number that's gonna get got, you know,
• 21:59
  by the time this season's over. And that's the way the high jump is
• 22:02
  usually kind of see heights go up and up and up, And I don't
• 22:07
  know how much he will actually be participating in this going forward. I think
• 22:10
  he just kind of did it instead of the four hundred one day and won
• 22:15
  it. So really impressive athlete obviously. What about the pole vault, Yeah,
• 22:21
  we got a Lenden participant here, Jared McCrory thirteen feet six inches.
• 22:26
  Again, that's one of those just different events than everything else, and that's
• 22:32
  one where I don't know how you I mean, I guess I know how
• 22:34
  you practice it, but it's just kind of like, you know, I
• 22:37
  don't know what you're thinking the first time you actually try it. You know
• 22:41
  what's going through your head? Yeah, you know, But once they get
• 22:45
  it down, you know, there's a fearless after that, and it's and
• 22:49
  you always see that one kid that's got like the different pole than everybody else,
• 22:52
  got the extra bend to it. You're like, man, this is
• 22:56
  the guy that's the real deal. And right now, Jared McCrory is that
• 22:59
  real deal? Two left here? We got the two jumps. What about
• 23:03
  the long jump? Yeah, Max and Rush is I mean, this was
• 23:06
  the first event he jumped twenty feet seven inches. Hasn't matched it since then.
• 23:10
  But that's just a really really good jump. But sometimes that happens.
• 23:14
  You get everything just right, the sprints, the steps, you jump right
• 23:18
  on the board perfectly, and everything goes great. And that's what happened that
• 23:23
  first jump for Maxton Rush. She'll get back up there, but that's gonna
• 23:26
  be that's gonna be a tough one to beat. There's some really good jumpers
• 23:30
  behind him as well. But yeah, you start getting in that twenty one
• 23:34
  twenty two foot range, now you start talking about state placers there. And
• 23:40
  last but not least, the triple jump. Yeah, Mick Owen, last
• 23:42
  year's one A state champion was jumping in the high thirties earlier in the year.
• 23:49
  He's up to forty two feet five inches now and just you know,
• 23:53
  just a super impressive athlete. Definitely doesn't miss a day in the gym.
• 23:57
  And that triple up, man, you're just asking for a broken leg if
• 24:03
  I was trying to do it. So at another one of those events,
• 24:06
  that's really really fun. I got to make sure I back up a little
• 24:08
  bit because they're really coming out there. And Mick Owen. I got some
• 24:14
  good pictures of him, but man, I gotta I gotta get a smaller
• 24:17
  lens or something, because he just jumps a little different distance than everybody else.
• 24:21
  Yeah, that's for sure. That's the boys leaders. Let's talk girls,
• 24:26
  and there's five new times or distances if you will this week. We'll
• 24:33
  mention him as we go, but let's start off with the one and the
• 24:36
  two hundred because we've got a name that we haven't even talked about this year,
• 24:40
  and she's got both records now. Yeah, unbelievable times. This this
• 24:45
  really shocked I don't know if it I mean, I guess it shocked me
• 24:48
  because it was a name I wasn't familiar with. Sophia Calibretta from Bellingham.
• 24:52
  Didn't see her run last year, didn't see any numbers of hers. She
• 24:56
  did run as a sophomore, so I don't know she just was injured or
• 25:00
  didn't turn out, or transferred and came back or what happened. But but
• 25:06
  she put on a show at the at at Civic on on Saturday morning,
• 25:11
  a twelve point three one time in one hundred meter dash that is really moving,
• 25:17
  and a twenty five point sixty five in the in the two hundred I
• 25:21
  could, I would tell you right now that there are most starting running backs
• 25:26
  in the Northwest Conference could not put up a twelve three to one. So
• 25:30
  that is that is really really burning up the track there really oppressive. Need
• 25:34
  this to say you and I will not be racing her Tyler in the four
• 25:40
  hundred. We got a new number also, Yeah, JANEA Derek from Sea
• 25:44
  Home fifty six point nine to two a really really good time. Again,
• 25:48
  you start getting that sub minute for the girls in the four hundred meters and
• 25:53
  you're gonna win a lot of races by running a time like that. And
• 25:56
  in the eight hundred, it's another time and it's from one of our teammates.
• 26:02
  Yeah, Samantha Nip from Sea Home two minutes twenty two point eight four
• 26:06
  seconds. Uh see home is you know, you go out and watch some
• 26:11
  Seahome track and field events and you start getting to like the the eight hundred
• 26:15
  and sixteen hundred and third thirty two hundred, and all of a sudden,
• 26:17
  there's like twenty kids that are racing for Seahome in those and they'll you know,
• 26:21
  break them up into different heats and stuff like that. But Sea Hoome
• 26:23
  is always gonna have a ton of athletes in those long distance runners that are
• 26:27
  really gonna push them push each other. Let's talk sixteen hundred meters, Tyler,
• 26:33
  what do you got? Yeah, from the beginning of the year,
• 26:36
  Sophia Coach from Bellingham, five minutes twelve point seven two seconds's been leading that
• 26:41
  time and I'm kind of surprised that that's held, not because it's not a
• 26:45
  good time. It is a really good time, but that's one of those,
• 26:48
  you know, the the long distance stuff, it's one of those that
• 26:51
  gets they usually gets broken. As the year goes on, the times keep
• 26:55
  keep drinking, and no one's been able to catch that time yet. And
• 26:59
  what out the thirty Yeah, Sidney Harry broke her own time eleven minutes,
• 27:04
  eighteen point four five seconds, another Sea Home runner. And like I said,
• 27:10
  you know, Seahome is you know they got that, They got a
• 27:12
  they got a wall full of state championship trophies for cross country track and field
• 27:18
  stuff like that. So, uh no, no surprise, it's a Seahome
• 27:21
  Mariner and Tyler, what's the uh you got an asterisk on there for what?
• 27:26
  What's that? Well, she broke she was the leader, but she
• 27:29
  broke her own time, gotcha. Okay, So it's you know, it's
• 27:32
  it's it's the new time, but it's the same person. She's just upping
• 27:34
  herself. Yea, let's talk one hundred meter hurdles. Tyler, what do
• 27:40
  you got there? Yeah, Lena velt Camp from Lenny Christian she's she's got
• 27:44
  to be in the top four or five all time school now for for this,
• 27:48
  for this event. Uh it seems like every race he just puts up
• 27:52
  a better time and uh, man, if she can get under sixteen seconds,
• 27:56
  you start looking at some big time you know, placement there and just
• 28:02
  at the state level, especially for the one a three hundred meter hurles.
• 28:07
  Faith van Brocklyn from Lindon forty eight point one seven seconds. She had that
• 28:11
  time earlier and then it was and then someone else got her, and then
• 28:15
  she got it back with this time of forty eight point one seven. Linden
• 28:19
  has both the four by one hundred and four by four hundred relays, but
• 28:23
  a little bit different crew well, in a little bit different order. What
• 28:26
  do you got the four by one hundred, Tyler, Yeah, Malia Mitchell,
• 28:30
  Faith Van Brooklyn, Eli Frericks, and Keiki York from Linden fifty one
• 28:33
  point three to three seconds. Uh, really really impressive time and it's gonna
• 28:38
  be hard to beat. And then in the four by four, yeah,
• 28:42
  very very close here three out of the four are the same, are the
• 28:45
  same girls, but yeah, like you said, a little bit different order.
• 28:48
  Sloan Dixon, Faith Van Brocklyn, kek York, and then Ella Frericks
• 28:52
  four to oh nine and a half. That's that's a really really good time
• 28:56
  as well. And at the two A level though, that's gonna be that
• 29:02
  you know, they're going to improve on that and to be able to place
• 29:06
  at the state level. And then shot put and discus, just like on
• 29:10
  the boys side, it's the same person but well not the same person because
• 29:14
  it's the boys and girls, but it's the same person with the top distance
• 29:18
  in both shotput and discus. On the girl side, it is who Tyler,
• 29:22
  Yeah, Tabby d Young from Lenny Christian. No surprise here coming into
• 29:26
  this track season. She was kind of the one I was looking to to
• 29:30
  be kind of that, you know, kind of the one to set the
• 29:33
  bar in both of these events. She has not disappointed. Thirty seven feet
• 29:38
  one in three quarter inches in the shotput, that is so impressive. You
• 29:42
  start getting over thirty feet thirty five feet too in the shot put for the
• 29:47
  girl shot but that's a that's a major score. And then usually with the
• 29:51
  discus you get over one hundred feet. That's pretty darn good. She's at
• 29:55
  one hundred and fifteen feet and two inches, So just a really impressive senior
• 30:00
  year overall for her in the volleyball, basketball, and now with track and
• 30:03
  field, what about javelin? Who do we got there? Yeah, Kate
• 30:07
  Shintaffer from Nickxack Valley, the junior over one hundred feet again, javelin is
• 30:11
  another one of those two with the girls events over one hundred feet and you're
• 30:18
  looking pretty darn good to be set up for the postseason. One hundred and
• 30:22
  five feet and three inches for her. And then in the high jump,
• 30:25
  we've actually got two girls who have both jumped four feet ten inches. Yeah,
• 30:29
  that's an incredible jump. Edit de Young from Lynnen Christian and Gracy pat
• 30:33
  for Meridian. It seems like a Linden Christian jumper always takes this every year.
• 30:37
  But Gracie pap just just a sophomore, really really athletic's she's kind of
• 30:42
  on the rise right now. No pun intended there, but she's the one
• 30:47
  who might be overtaking that Elsie streak right now. And how about the pole
• 30:52
  vault? Yeah, Callie Young from Bellingham, she pull vaulted ten feet three
• 30:56
  inches early in the year and ever since then has been hovering around nine to
• 31:00
  nine six. Uh so, you know that's in another one of those things
• 31:04
  though, the pull vall you might need really, you know, pretty good
• 31:07
  weather. You know, you don't want it to be slipping on the track.
• 31:11
  You're carrying the big pool. You're putting it in the thing, it
• 31:12
  might have water in it. Uh So, uh you might need really like
• 31:18
  maybe maybe this is the better the weather is, the better time, or
• 31:21
  the better height you can put up on that event. How about the long
• 31:25
  jump chase Flick William is one of the best athletes in Walking County. I
• 31:30
  went down there to get a picture of her during this this last event.
• 31:33
  Her mom was joking with me, like because we had mentioned on the podcast
• 31:37
  that that that I should jump against her, and that I mentioned I said,
• 31:41
  you know. She's like, hey, Chase is ready to jump against
• 31:44
  you at practice, and I said, well, my big worries that I
• 31:48
  don't know if I'll be able to land in the sand. I just I
• 31:52
  just want to not not hurt my knees and uh. And she's like,
• 31:56
  well, you could jump wherever, you could take off wherever you want.
• 31:59
  We'll measure you from there. And I said, well, yeah, if
• 32:01
  Chase still gets to jump from the line, and we'll see how this goes.
• 32:06
  But I think she could double me up. She's at sixteen feet eight
• 32:08
  inches right now, unbelievable athlete. To watching her jump is just incredible.
• 32:14
  And the last one here triple jump, which we get a new distance on
• 32:16
  this one. Yeah, Genevieve Blum, Chase's teammate. She's also very very
• 32:22
  good in the long jump. She's taking a triple jump right now, thirty
• 32:24
  four feet six inches. Again, that's you know, I want to even
• 32:30
  try that because it's just a hop, skip step away from the long jump.
• 32:32
  When you say no, oh, no, is that that didn't land
• 32:37
  very well well? And neither will you when you try to jump against Chase
• 32:42
  Flick Williams. You got that right, Tyler that's boys and Girls leaders for
• 32:45
  Watcome County again, brought to you by Staffer Insurance. Thank you to staff
• 32:51
  for Insurance for their continued sponsorship. Let's talk girls tennis, Tyler. And
• 32:55
  there was nothing going on this last week, so let's just reset these here
• 33:00
  really quickly. Blaine oh and four and now Tyler, remind me again,
• 33:04
  what is it called? Is it so? Uh Blaine is oh and four,
• 33:07
  but they're one in twenty seven? Is that courts? Yes, courts
• 33:10
  won, Yeah, courts won. So Blaine oh and four overall one in
• 33:14
  twenty seven in terms of courts, Uh Ferndale one in three, seven and
• 33:19
  twenty one in courts, Squalcum three and one, eighteen and ten in courts,
• 33:24
  Bellingham four and one, twenty eight and seven in courts. And then
• 33:28
  Linden and Seaholme both teams four and oho on the season, Sea Home twenty
• 33:31
  seven and one and UH Lynden twenty five and three. So that is a
• 33:37
  look at the standings, Tyler. There are a couple of conference matches coming
• 33:40
  up this week, or everybody seems like has got conference matches this week.
• 33:45
  Tuesday and Thursday, Lyndon has a big non conference match on Wednesday that we
• 33:51
  will talk about a little bit later, but overall, uh, this is
• 33:54
  maybe the most girls tennis we've ever talked about, you know, in terms
• 33:58
  of Watkom Prehapsist talked about you know, this season and I think we're both
• 34:02
  thoroughly enjoying what we're doing so far. Oh yeah, there's some really really
• 34:07
  good teams, really good players. Uh. You know, we were looking
• 34:09
  forward to so much that See Home Linden matchup the two undefeated teams, and
• 34:14
  it got rained out. Uh, and it will be scheduled. It's not
• 34:17
  coming up this week. It will be later on in the year. But
• 34:21
  you know, you nailed it. With Linden having to have three matches in
• 34:23
  three days, that is going to be really really tough. Hopefully the weather
• 34:28
  holds out. Uh, but you know there'll be there'll be some really really
• 34:31
  good matchups. Mount Vernon at squal Come is going to be really good.
• 34:35
  On Tuesday see home Home at Oakharbor and uh, and Thursday, you know
• 34:42
  Lindon, you know, Linden will be hosting Blaine, which you know,
• 34:45
  you go, well, that's probably gonna be you know, kind of a
• 34:47
  walkover, but that'll be their third match in three days, so that's gonna
• 34:51
  be pretty tough. Bellingham hosting Lakewood Ferndale at Sea Home, So there's gonna
• 34:55
  be some some some really good tennis matches this upcoming week. I just hope
• 34:59
  that the holds up. Yeah, and that Linden Seahome match that we were
• 35:02
  talking about, I think we mentioned it before, but also that one has
• 35:07
  been rescheduled for Wednesday, April twenty fourth, so it is not too far
• 35:10
  away, but it is definitely it hadn't happened even though we were excited to
• 35:15
  potentially talk about that one, right, and it kind of works out that,
• 35:19
  like that's the match you know, everyone's waiting for now, it's going
• 35:21
  to be later on in the year. They could still both be undefeated at
• 35:23
  that point. That could be really real. Even it could turn out to
• 35:28
  be even more impressive. It's almost like Sunday night football can flex into a
• 35:31
  better game, you know. It's like it's like the Northwest Conference kind of
• 35:35
  flexed into a bigger matchup to have it be later in the year, which
• 35:37
  kind of worked out. They called Randy Small, got a little rain and
• 35:40
  away they went, right. So that's girls tennis. Let's talk boys and
• 35:45
  girls golf really quickly. No matches last week for either boys or girls,
• 35:51
  So I guess we can I don't know, what do you say, Let's
• 35:53
  just go with like, how about we just say the top five who the
• 35:55
  top five golfers are in terms of average score, and we'll start with Jack
• 36:02
  Stapleton of Lyndon eighty one. Yeah, yeah, the six foot seven Jack
• 36:08
  Stapleton. So yeah, that's a that's a pretty that's a pretty impressive number.
• 36:13
  Do you think you could even swing his clubs? Yeah, you guys,
• 36:16
  I'd The problem with that was I'd stand so far away from the ball,
• 36:20
  I don't know if I'd be able to see it, so I'd have
• 36:22
  to just go by feel and uh. And then if I used his putter,
• 36:27
  I'd probably have to do it like those guys do on the Senior Tour,
• 36:30
  you know, with the with the yeah, the face right, yeah,
• 36:34
  and yeah, that's I mean, you know, that's not too bad.
• 36:36
  I could do that. Uh. Travis Brocky from Ferndale really really close
• 36:40
  to eighty point seven. John Coomer from Seahome right at eighty. Uh.
• 36:45
  Daniel Blankenberg at Meridian with a really good score overall, seventy two point three.
• 36:51
  He I believe he was named one of the WIAA Athletes of the Week
• 36:55
  a couple of weeks ago, too, pretty impressive. And then the guy
• 36:59
  that gave us the intro, Baylor Larrabee from Ferndale, sixty seven point seven.
• 37:04
  I don't know exactly what that is for under par, but I guarantee
• 37:07
  you it's under par by probably three or four. That's amazing on average.
• 37:12
  The three time Northwest Conference Player of the Year gonna be gonna be the fourth
• 37:16
  and heading to UCLA. What a what a cool deal that is? And
• 37:21
  uh yeah, just and it's just it's really really unbelievable. A handful of
• 37:28
  the teams will be playing, well, everyone will be playing on Thursday,
• 37:31
  and some of them will be at the WIDB Golf Course Blaine, Mount Baker,
• 37:36
  Squalk and Bellingham. They'll be out there with a couple other Northwest Conference
• 37:38
  teams and then Meridian, Ferndale, Linden, Knixack Valley, Seahome and Lennon
• 37:44
  Christian will all be at North Bellingham golf Course at three o'clock on Thursday.
• 37:50
  Uh in the conference match there. So uh that's one. You know,
• 37:52
  North Bellingham. I've played there before. I might have to just kind of
• 37:58
  I might have to go out there and catch some of this because I want
• 38:00
  to see some of these guys. I want to see some of these guys
• 38:02

• 38:08
  let's talk the top five scores there, and what do we start with.
• 38:13
  We start with Kaylee Anderson of Nooksack Valley. Yeah, Kaylie Anderson right
• 38:17
  at one oh five. Every single match you's had, she has improved the
• 38:22
  sharpshooter on the basketball team. And so, uh you know, no,
• 38:27
  you know she's she's used to from you know, from downtown. So I
• 38:30
  wonder how what her drive looks like. Marley McMahon from Seahome at one o
• 38:36
  four, Madeleine Angles at Lenny Christian at one oh one, Cassidy Hogan from
• 38:39
  Seahome jumping up to ninety two, and Kinsley Rector from Lyndon at ninety one.
• 38:45
  Now, there are some really other really good golfers too that are outside
• 38:47
  of Walking County that are part of the Northwest Conference. I know Oak Harbor's
• 38:52
  got a ton of them. These are you know, this is strictly Walking
• 38:54
  County that we're talking about with some really good scores here, and they're gonna
• 38:59
  be broke up this week between Monday and Tuesday, with most of the most
• 39:04
  of the teams playing on Monday at Loomis Trail Golf Course. You're talking Ferndale,
• 39:08
  Lyndon, Meridian, Knoksack, Blaine, LC, Mount Baker, and
• 39:12
  Squalicum. So eight of the ten teams will be at Loomis Trail golf Course.
• 39:16
  That'll be that'll be later on this afternoon if you're listening on Monday at

• 39:28
  that's that's the Lakewood's home course. There will be Bellingham and Seahome will be
• 39:34
  out at that with all with this gadget team. So uh so that'll be
• 39:38
  yeah, that'll be Tuesday at two o'clock. I don't know, Maybe maybe
• 39:43
  y'all have to head out to Loomis Trail to get to get some pictures for
• 39:45
  this one again. Hopefully the weather will be okay, and I know that
• 39:52
  golf you know they can go withstand some pretty pretty nasty weather to get some
• 39:57
  to get some scores and I've seen them play this year. Are ready.
• 40:00
  I wasn't there witnessing it, but I've seen scores come in on days that
• 40:05
  were less than advantageously what you wanted to golf it. Teler, You'll be
• 40:10
  like the David Charity of Wacom County too. He's actually really really good.
• 40:17
  He's you know, you know who he is. He's He's like the Tim
• 40:22
  McCarver of golf, where for whatever reason, it seems like everybody hates him.
• 40:25
  But I love the guy. You know, I know that I thought
• 40:29
  everyone loved him. Charity. Yeah, well I know this much. I
• 40:31
  know my dad hates him. But but like Tim McCarver, I remember,
• 40:37
  nobody liked that guy for some reason. Oh I liked him. I loved
• 40:40
  him. His voice just was it was playoff baseball to me, because you
• 40:45
  didn't like when we were younger, there wasn't really a lot of baseball on
• 40:50
  TV in general, right right, right? I remember, like the Mariners
• 40:53
  you didn't even see, you know, they didn't have every game on TV.
• 40:57
  No, you'd hope, like everyone smile Channel eleven. Yeah, you
• 41:00
  know, you'd get a game and and yeah there was like the there would
• 41:04
  be like the Game of the Week you see every once in a while,
• 41:07
  or the bad Monday night baseball that Al Michaels did. But you're right when
• 41:10
  it was playoffs, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, Yeah, here we go.
• 41:15
  This is great. Like that's yeah, you know, that's what you
• 41:17
  got. It was awesome. Yeah. And and that's and that's the thing
• 41:21
  too, is like Fairty is he's he's like the Tim McCarver of golf.
• 41:25
  But he's he's just he's always on, you know what I mean. And
• 41:29
  and man, I know people Pierre Maguire's and the one for hockey that everybody
• 41:34
  seemed to hate, you know, for a long time. And I'm like,
• 41:36
  dude, he's really good at what he does. Like why why does
• 41:38
  everybody? You know, everybody hates Aikman and Romo now too, Like,
• 41:45
  man, I don't know. I think I think Aikman's pretty good at what
• 41:46
  he does. Like a lot of people hate Chris Chris collins Worth. Yeah,
• 41:51
  I'm not a fan of Chris collins Worth. Yeah, I mean I
• 41:53
  think he's I think he's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, let me tell
• 41:59
  you about this guy. You know what I don't like about Collinsworth and and
• 42:06
  this is just me getting nitpicky here. He will try to break down offensive
• 42:10
  line stuff, and when he does sometimes I just go, Bro, you
• 42:15
  don't know offensive line, Like you don't know the words you're using right now,
• 42:20
  you know, Like there's some things that he said where like there's some
• 42:22
  things that he said where my buddies that I'm sitting around could tell that I
• 42:25
  was getting fired up, and I just didn't want to be the downer of
• 42:28
  the group, you know what I mean. And my buddy would go,
• 42:30
  what are you mad at? And I'd say it, and and one guy
• 42:32
  would always start laughing, just be like I knew you were gonna be mad
• 42:35
  about that. So that's boys and girls golf Tyler. So we've covered track
• 42:42
  and field, we've covered girls tennis, boys and girls golf, boys soccer,
• 42:46
  now boys soccer. Brought to you by North County Alliance FC, their
• 42:51
  sponsor and everything happened to do with soccer. N See alliancefc dot com is
• 42:55
  their website and Tyler A week from today today being when this podcast is being
• 43:00
  released for the first time, which would be what the eighth, seventh,
• 43:06
  yeah, eighth April, eighth April eighth, a week from today is when
• 43:08
  they start doing their tryouts. I mean, they're not wasting any time here.
• 43:13
  The sun has started to slightly come out and North County Alliance FC is
• 43:17
  ready to go. So April fifteenth is when the tryouts are going to start
• 43:22
  for just a couple of groups here. Actually this week in general that we're
• 43:27
  talking here, April fifteenth and sixteenth is when the twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen,
• 43:32
  twenty fifteen girls are going to start their tryouts and the twenty seventeen,
• 43:37
  sixteen and fifteen boys are going to start their tryouts. Now, tryouts go
• 43:42
  on for over a couple of weeks, but those three specifically are just for
• 43:45
  a few days. So if you're that twenty, what would that be like
• 43:50
  seven year old seven eight h so you're born in those years, right,
• 43:52
  yes, born in those years exactly. So if you've got a boy or
• 43:55
  a girl and they're in the seven eight nine, that in that range there
• 44:00
  and they want to play some soccer, you gotta get on it quick because
• 44:04
  the tryouts are here and they're they're being held at bender Fields and Linden and
• 44:08
  we're gonna be talking about more tryouts because the final tryouts are for birth years
• 44:15
  in two thousand and nine, and those don't happen until May eighth, which
• 44:19
  I would assume, I know, maybe I'm wrong here, Tyler. I
• 44:21
  would assume that maybe he has to do with like, is that right about
• 44:23
  the time that high school soccer is ending? Is that what two thousand and
• 44:27
  nine would be. Yeah, it's kind of when the regular season ends,
• 44:30
  but their po postseason will go through May. Yeah. Yeah, so so
• 44:36
  yeah, North County Alliance FC dot com backslash tryouts is where you can find
• 44:39
  out all of that information. And yeah, they are a new sponsor as
• 44:45
  of in the last couple of weeks. And we're big fans already, Tyler.
• 44:49
  Oh. Yeah, they've jumped over all over everything. They're super excited.
• 44:52
  Uh and and it raises our game because we want to do them proud
• 44:57
  and and it just goes back and forth. And that's that's how it works.
• 45:00
  And I think it's an awesome thing, and it's really helpful. Let's
• 45:05
  talk standings really quickly. We're just kind of bounced into it here. Mount
• 45:07
  Baker zero and two on the year, Lyndon Christian one four and one,
• 45:12
  Nooksack Valley two and four, Ferndale two four and one, Linden four four
• 45:16
  and one, Meridian and Squalicum are both five and two, Blaine five one
• 45:22
  and two, and then Bellingham seven and one and Seahome seven and oh.
• 45:27
  Bellingham's one loss was to see Home in a non conference game. Now,
• 45:32
  Tyler, what I want to do here, just really quickly. I want
• 45:35
  to talk specifically about the three city schools, and let's talk about Squalicum and
• 45:39
  a little bit about what their schedule looks like the rest of the way.
• 45:43
  They've got a couple of tough games here Linden. Linden is one of those
• 45:47
  teams that you know, they they've kind of had some good and kind of
• 45:50
  had some not so good, but they still got to go to Linden,
• 45:54
  they get Mount Vernon at home, and then they've got to match again with
• 46:00
  Seahome and they still get belling Ham. So definitely some tough games left on
• 46:06
  the Storm schedule. Yeah, that's that's really tough. But they have to
• 46:09
  look at it like this is our chance to to get past some of these
• 46:14
  teams. That's how you have to look at it. Squalkam is very They're
• 46:16
  very patient when they when they play that's what really has That's what I've taken
• 46:22
  from it is that they kind of they don't they don't overtry so many things.
• 46:28
  They know when to attack, and then when they do, they're really
• 46:31
  really successful. I mean, Simon Agner has more goals than anybody in the
• 46:35
  county with twelve, and and Isaac Grimes is just a sophomore he's had he
• 46:39
  has six. But they're just they're very very they don't they don't take a
• 46:45
  lot of chances. They're just really smart with the ball. And they're going
• 46:50
  to have to be against some of these some of these big time schools that
• 46:52
  they're going to be playing against. Let's talk about Bellingham. They have a
• 46:55
  Tuesday game, so tomorrow if you're listening to this, the day that it
• 46:59
  comes out out, they will take on Mount Vernon on the road, and
• 47:04
  then they still have to play Sea home and Squalcum as well seehome. That
• 47:09
  match will be on Monday, April fifteenth. That is a home game for
• 47:14
  the BayHawks. This is a team that when you start talking about teams that
• 47:20
  can score, they got some guys that can score. Well. That's what's
• 47:22
  really impressive to me is that they have a lot of different guys that can
• 47:28
  score and really attack, and they play with a lot of speed, and
• 47:32
  it's just I think that they are a team that, you know, if
• 47:37
  anyone I think can get to see home, it's spelling him. I think
• 47:42
  that they have improved a lot as the year gone on. They've won seven
• 47:45
  in a row. You know, they have really really talented front line.
• 47:52
  I mean, they could put up a lot of goals. You see some
• 47:55
  of their scorers or they're putting it five six goals here and there. You
• 48:00
  know. I obviously Seahome is kind of that cream of the crop, but
• 48:04
  Bellingham is just right there. There are not that many steps behind. And
• 48:08
  traditionally they've always just been really really good at boys soccer and so you know,
• 48:13
  I'm not I'm not surprised at all, but man they are. They're
• 48:17
  a lot of fun to watch. And like I said, it's that it's
• 48:20
  that pure speed. You especially get on the out on the outside and you
• 48:23
  could feel it like where the ball's out in front and you just see a
• 48:27
  guy like a wing just coming over a forward just like just just faster on
• 48:30
  everybody and can get control and and make a play. And so that's there.
• 48:35
  There are a lot of there are a lot of fun to watch,
• 48:37
  and I'm really excited to see how they'll close out the season, especially that
• 48:40
  game against Selm. I can't wait for them. Yeah, and you know
• 48:44
  something that's kind of crazy, Tyler. I was just looking looking at Sea
• 48:47
  Home or at the standings here. See Hoom has yet to allow a goal
• 48:52
  in league play, and they're averaging five point seven goals a match. I
• 48:58
  mean, yeah, that is unbelievable. And then when you look at it
• 49:01
  overall, they are only allowing one goal a game is what they're averaging.
• 49:07
  I mean, they're they're plus minus is plus three point four. I mean
• 49:13
  they're out scoring on average by three point four. I mean that's that's pretty
• 49:16
  amazing. See home they play this week, they play at Ferndale at Oak
• 49:23
  Harbor. You know, two games that you would think that they should be
• 49:30
  able to win and you know, maybe shouldn't have a whole lot of problems
• 49:34
  with And then it gets a little bit tougher at Bellingham Home versus Anachordus home
• 49:38
  versus Mount Vernon, at Squalicum Home versus Burlington Edison. So even though they've
• 49:45
  been pretty much the class of the county, so far. They definitely don't
• 49:49
  just have a cake walk the rest of the way. Yeah, that's really
• 49:52
  really tough. I mean, the Mount Vernon team is really good. Burlington
• 49:55
  is very very good too. I think that game when they played earlier in
• 49:59
  the year was I want to say, like three to one or four to
• 50:01
  two or something like that. So you know, it's see Home is the
• 50:08
  real deal, you know. I talk about the person thing I think of
• 50:12
  when I think of Squalkum is I think they're really really patient and they don't
• 50:15
  do they don't do stupid you know, they don't take stupid chances. I
• 50:19
  think Bellingham I think of their they you know, they have just really fast
• 50:22
  and and they can score on you almost it will. And I've talked about
• 50:27
  this with Sea Home. It's it's almost like they all know exactly where they're
• 50:30
  gonna be. They can pass it without even looking. They it's like a
• 50:34
  machine. They're so well coached. It's like everybody's being controlled on the feet
• 50:37
  of soccer game, the video game. That's that's the difference with them.
• 50:43
  You know, you talk about you know, they haven't allowed a goal and
• 50:45
  conference play yet. I mean, you watch watch a Sea Home game and
• 50:50
  the ball is like on the offensive side of the of the pitch the whole
• 50:53
  game, Like the ball doesn't even get over there, you know, And
• 50:58
  I really interested, Yeah, exactly, I'd be really interested to see how
• 51:04
  many shots on goal they've taken or not not, you know what I mean,
• 51:07
  like allowed against them. Yeah, just just just shots on goal.
• 51:12
  I'd like to see, like, you know how like in in uh,
• 51:15
  in football, they have like time up possession. I'd like to see,
• 51:17
  like what what is the number of like for the ball in the offensive side
• 51:23
  of the of the pitch and like on the defensive side. I bet it.
• 51:27
  They bet it's remarkable. Yeah, I'm sure it is. And uh,
• 51:30
  you know, they just they have waves of guys too. I mean
• 51:34
  they have a lot of different guys they can score, you know, three
• 51:37
  guys with already at least six goals, so uh, and then they have
• 51:42
  you know, backups that can come in. I mean, they they have
• 51:45
  it. It's it's you know, they have talent coming out of their ears
• 51:47
  right now. It's it's uh, it's lining up pretty well. I know,
• 51:51
  they did really well at State last year and a lot of guys that
• 51:54
  return from that team, so uh, this is kind of their their year,
• 51:59
  and they're making the most of it. I mean, they are taking
• 52:00
  advantage of it, and they're nodding. They're not letting it slip at all.
• 52:05
  In any way, let's just talk leading scorers really quickly. Tyler the
• 52:08
  top Well, I was gonna say the top five, but there's actually five
• 52:13
  guys with seven goals, so we got to talk top seven if you will.
• 52:16
  Yeah, there's five guys that are tied for third in the county in
• 52:21
  scoring. Tyler with seven goals, give me those five. Yeah. A
• 52:23
  couple Mariners here, Liam Schumacher and Noah Allen Terren Burks from Meridian, who's
• 52:30
  on a who's on like a consecutive games goal scoring whatever you want to call
• 52:36
  that. He's scored in like the last three or four games in a row.
• 52:38
  Blake Kureski from Blaine, and Aiden McGuire from Belling in they all have
• 52:43
  seven goals on the season so far. And then in second place with ten
• 52:46
  goals, Judas straight out of Bellingham. Yeah, Judas Strait's got ten.
• 52:51
  He had a huge week in that in that second week. You know,
• 52:53
  we started the player of the Week for soccer in the third week. If
• 52:58
  we would have started a week earlier. I think he would have gotten it
• 53:00
  in the second week. Tons of goals, tons of assists, especially in
• 53:02
  that week. Now correct me if I'm wrong. Was the leading scorer not
• 53:07
  the guy that got it in the first week, well the first week that
• 53:10
  we did it? Yeah, because we started in week three. Simon Agner
• 53:14
  did did get it. He did score five goals in week three of Obviously,
• 53:19
  everybody was off this past week, but Simon n Agner, who's got
• 53:22
  twelve on the season so far. It was funny because when I when I
• 53:24
  posted that he he won the Player of the week. Uh, there were
• 53:29
  some people that said, oh, Judas Straight, you know, got got
• 53:32
  hosed or whatever. The kids say, you know, uh yeah, And
• 53:36
  and then and then Judas Trait's like, uh no, Simon, he can
• 53:39
  ball. And then they're all like, okay, yeah he's good. So
• 53:44
  he just kind of set it set it straight that uh you know, uh,
• 53:46
  talent knows talent and uh yeah those there's there's some really good players out
• 53:52
  there in the county. You know what that sounds like to me, Tyler,
• 53:55
  what's set that Judas Strait? That sounds like maybe somebody that needs to
• 54:00
  do an intro. Huh ah, you're throwing it out there again. I
• 54:05
  say, I mean, if Judastrate's out there listening, I guess you know,
• 54:08
  maybe we need an intro. But that is a look at the boys
• 54:13
  soccer again. North County Alliance FC, uh the proud sponsors of that here
• 54:19
  on Watcome Preps. NCALLIANCEFC dot com is the website, Tyler, let's talk
• 54:22
  fast pitch and there was not a whole lot going on over there, but
• 54:27
  we've got scoreboards brought to you. My man in insurance they didn't get a
• 54:30
  whole lot going on this week because there was nothing going on this week,
• 54:32
  but seven to one nine Grover Street and Lindon three six zero nine two to
• 54:37
  two zero one four nine. Well the fighting Blake Weitman's man Insurance Group dot
• 54:45
  com is the website. Also stats brought to you by a line drive Northwest
• 54:50
  two zero five nine West Main Street Suite see in Lindon line drive and w
• 54:55
  dot com. Tyler, let's just go through the standings really quickly. Squal
• 55:00
  oh and four in league play, oh and seven on the season, Bellingham
• 55:04
  oh and four and eight on the season overall, Ferndale and Seahome are both
• 55:09
  one and three. Seahome is five and four overall, Ferndale is three and
• 55:15
  four overall, Linden Christian and Nuksack Valley they are both two and two in
• 55:19
  league play. Lind and Christian two four and two overall, Nuksack Valley two
• 55:23
  and three overall. And then we've got Meridian three and two in league play,
• 55:29
  three and three overall, Mount Baker from Baker High School three and one
• 55:34
  in league play, seven and one overall. And then we've got two undefeated
• 55:37
  teams that is Linden at four and oh and eight and oh and then Blaine
• 55:42
  three and oh and four and oh. So uh, Tyler, definitely an
• 55:46
  exciting time coming up here because we've got some really big matchups coming up.
• 55:52
  But so far, fast pitch anything stand out to you, maybe as a
• 55:55
  surprise to this point, Oh surprise, not really, I kind of this
• 56:05
  is kind of what I expected. The great thing about this year was that
• 56:08
  there were, my goodness, I think like eight of the ten starting pitchers,
• 56:16
  like if you want, like like the top pitcher from each team from
• 56:20
  last year, eight of the ten returned for this year. Oh wow,
• 56:23
  So you kind of look at that and go, well, you know,
• 56:28
  that tells you that these teams are going to be able to compete because so
• 56:30
  much of it is about the pitcher. There was one game over the week,
• 56:35
  Mount Baker beat Kashmir twenty three to three. Ava Juretzky, speaking of
• 56:39
  pitching, she picked up her seventh win, which was the team's seventh win.
• 56:43
  She else went four for five with a double home run five RBI's Gracie
• 56:47
  Zender went four for four with a home run in two doubles and six rb
• 56:52
  eyes Lauren Vallame went for four scored five runs. It was just an offensive
• 56:55
  onslaught. But it's kind of the teams that I expected and and I think
• 57:04
  maybe what's been surprising is is some of the teams down south that I didn't
• 57:09
  know a ton about. I knew Lake Would was good, didn't know they
• 57:13
  were this good. I knew. I didn't know Mount Vernon was going to
• 57:15
  be as good as they were. I didn't know Burlington was going to be
• 57:19
  as good. I knew Sidrow was going to be very, very good,
• 57:22
  and they are. So there's a lot of these top teams, like you
• 57:27
  talked about the two undefeated teams and and stuff like that, once they start
• 57:30
  playing each other. There's gonna be a little, you know, a little
• 57:31
  bit more separation at the top stuff like that. You know, I think
• 57:37
  maybe if you asked me, what's the big surprise, it's just that they
• 57:40
  that the one a's got owsed with that one team going to state. You
• 57:44
  know when I when I heard that, it was before I went to any
• 57:47
  of the fast pitch games. I was at the first soccer game of the
• 57:51
  year, heard about it there and I just couldn't believe it. But you
• 57:55
  know, it is what it is, and you just have to play your
• 57:58
  best to try to try to get there. I was. I did learn
• 58:04
  that the that the district tournament, even though none of the teams from down
• 58:06
  South are going to come up and play in it, it's still going to
• 58:08
  be at the Janicky Fields and see Drew Woolley. You know, they already
• 58:12
  had it reserved. Which I love that facility. It's really cool. It's
• 58:15
  kind of like going to Mount Vernon for for for basketball. You go there
• 58:20
  and you get to feel that this is big time stuff. Uh, these
• 58:22
  are games, you know, big time games are one and and uh.
• 58:27
  And that's it's cool because there'll be like one A on Monday night, two
• 58:30
  way, Tuesday, one a Wednesday, two wait thursdays, just every day,
• 58:34
  just driving down there every day. Really really cool. Speaking of driving
• 58:37
  down there, I did my taxes to care, I figured out my mileage.
• 58:43
  You want to guess how many miles I drove in twenty twenty three for
• 58:45
  walking preps. I know, I know that you are might you might be
• 58:49
  into this because you kept your mileage for all the craziness that I used to
• 58:52
  go over six thousand miles in three months. Yeah, well yeah, so
• 58:57
  I was. I wasn't quite there, I was, I was. I
• 59:00
  was over five thousand wow for their Well see, yeah, here's the thing,
• 59:05
  but I rarely leave the county. Yeah. But the and the and
• 59:07
  the thing is is like me saying, and people don't understand, like I
• 59:10
  basically would drive from Seattle to Boston and back essentially in three months. People
• 59:17
  don't understand that was four nights a week usually because or like on average,
• 59:24
  because there was always Monday Tuesday, like random things going on. Also,
• 59:29
  but that was multiple games on Thursday, multiple games on Friday, multiple games
• 59:31
  on set. I mean, it was pretty wild what I used to do.
• 59:35
  And that was in three months. So for me it's totally psychotic.
• 59:40
  But when other people say things like, oh, I went four thousand miles
• 59:44
  or five thousand miles over the full year, I'm like, dude, that's
• 59:45
  actually damn impressive. Like it is, you know what I mean. Like,
• 59:50
  it's just not as psychotic as what I used to do. It only
• 59:53
  made a couple of decent trips because I went to Yakama in twenty twenty three
• 1:00:00
  for volleyball, and then I went to Richland for softball. Yes, I
• 1:00:07
  rode down to State for football. Well that was twenty oh no, that
• 1:00:14
  was twenty twenty two when I did that. That's right, That's why it
• 1:00:15
  was not on there. So so yeah, so yeah, it was.
• 1:00:19
  It was interesting doing uh doing the old doing the old taxis I should have
• 1:00:22
  been an account now, Tyler. Yes, at some point when you're down
• 1:00:29
  there in Cedral Woolley at those games, yeah, you're gonna find yourself at
• 1:00:32
  the scoutge at Valley Burger Express. Yeah, which by the way is just
• 1:00:37
  barely south of those fields you're talking about. Now, I think you do
• 1:00:40
  gott to drive around like into the city just a tad but that St.
• 1:00:44
  Sctchul Valley Burger Express their onion rings are absolutely incredible and they have the best
• 1:00:51
  ranch dressing, like it is so good. Yeah, Line Drive Northwest Man
• 1:00:57
  Insurance the big time sponsors of Fast Pitch in Wacom County. Tyler, Let's
• 1:01:01
  talk baseball, and there was actually some baseball games going on this week.
• 1:01:04
  There's a lot of them. There's a lot of stuff to talk about here.
• 1:01:07
  Scoreboards and stats are brought to you by j e KK Sports Cards in

  Tan Farms dot com. That is their website. I saw some stuff like
• 1:01:39
  they had, like I don't know, a guy or somebody in like a
• 1:01:43
  mister Potato Head costume or something. I don't know. It's pretty wild and
• 1:01:47
  actually you can find them on Facebook, Facebook, dot com, backslash Bedlington
• 1:01:52
  Farms. Nice and easy, Tyler, let's talk. I guess we'll just
• 1:01:57
  kind of go through the standings again, like we usually do, We'll start
• 1:02:00
  off with Squalkum and Mount Baker, both teams oh and six in conference play.
• 1:02:05
  Mount Baker one and nine overall. Squalic them oh and nine overall.
• 1:02:08
  Yeah, a couple of them played earlier in the week with with conference games,
• 1:02:13
  and then Baker hosted Orchest Island on uh I want to say that was
• 1:02:17
  Thursday Wednesday or Thursday Thursday, and and it was great because you know,
• 1:02:24
  they've just been struggling all year and I and I was able to go out
• 1:02:28
  there to catch that game. The other two games were on the road,
• 1:02:31
  and uh so this was my first time seeing him in person. And and
• 1:02:36
  they pulled it out. They got the win. I mean there was they
• 1:02:37
  scored i think eight runs in the bottom of the second inning after two outs,
• 1:02:44
  and you know that that's just and I think they did it without getting
• 1:02:46
  a hit. So you take care of like if you the other team makes
• 1:02:51
  mistakes and you take advantage of that, that's huge. Now, there was
• 1:02:53
  one really funny moment at this game. Okay, so I'm standing like there's
• 1:03:00
  a really good spot for the media kind of like down the third baseline,
• 1:03:05
  you know, past the base and everything and it's open, right, there's
• 1:03:07
  like the I'm kind of basically standing in the bullpen area and and I'm standing
• 1:03:12
  there, I'm leaning up against like this shed, and I'm taking pictures.
• 1:03:16
  On all of a sudden, something and I'm I got it held down.
• 1:03:20
  Click click click, and something hits me in the back of the head and
• 1:03:22
  lands on the ground. And I just kept taking pictures. And I turn
• 1:03:29
  around and there's a first base glove laying on the ground and I hear her
• 1:03:34
  this laughing, and I look up and guess who it is? Ron Lepper
• 1:03:39
  from Mount Baker High School. You got that right, And he threw a
• 1:03:44
  glove at you. He threw a glove. It was hilarious. And the
• 1:03:47
  first thing I said was you see that concentration there, Coach. I didn't
• 1:03:52
  even turn I just kept taking pictures. And he's like, yeah, I'm
• 1:03:54
  impressed by that. You can't be face. Yeah, I cannot be faced.
• 1:03:59
  So that was always. That was great seeing him. Uh, but
• 1:04:01
  it was cool. It was good to see Mount Baker get that wind.
• 1:04:04
  And so much of it is just believing that you can do it. So
• 1:04:06
  it would have been funny for you to hit you with a lemon. You
• 1:04:11
  would have had one autumn was it? What was that from? Was that
• 1:04:15
  was that missus doubtfire where he winds up and throws a lemon at that guy's
• 1:04:17
  head in the restaurant. Yeah, they were like at the each or the
• 1:04:26
  Yeah that's right, Whitey four leg kick and just damn right in the back
• 1:04:30
  of the head. It was it was a run by fruiting. Yeah,
• 1:04:33
  run by fruiting. Oh man. Yeah, but yeah, good. It
• 1:04:40
  was pretty It was pretty funny. And uh yeah, I just love talking
• 1:04:44
  to him about stuff and so that that that was fun. But it was
• 1:04:47
  good to see them get that win. These two teams play each other this
• 1:04:51
  upcoming week conference game. Baker got the best of them last year. I
• 1:04:55
  think it was like a two to one game, and uh so I'm gonna
• 1:04:59
  try to go because it's gonna be a later game. I love when the
• 1:05:01
  sun goes down at that stadium. It's like the best view in sports in
• 1:05:06
  Walking County. I I can't even explain it enough. So that will be
• 1:05:11
  a really fun one to go to. Is it like the sun setting at
• 1:05:14
  the Rose Bowl? Yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's just perfect the
• 1:05:18
  way they set it up. I don't know if it was by accident or
• 1:05:20
  on purpose, but uh, it's just a it's a it's a fantastic setup.
• 1:05:26
  So I'm looking looking forward to that earlier this earlier, early in the
• 1:05:30
  week this week, Tyler, did I tag you in something that I think
• 1:05:34
  was at the the log Festival or whatever it was you were talking about.
• 1:05:39
  Yeah, you just put Deming question mark and it was like the super fast
• 1:05:45
  chainsaws or yeah, And was it that was at Deming? Wasn't it?
• 1:05:47
  It looked like it. I I don't, I can't confirm it, but
• 1:05:51
  it did look like it. Yeah. Yeah, And I mean I only
• 1:05:54
  saw a couple of pictures from whatever it was last week or whatever when we
• 1:05:58
  were talking about it, and then I saw that video and I was like,
• 1:06:00
  whoa, Like, I'm almost positive that's the place, Like it definitely
• 1:06:04
  looks like it. Yeah, but you would know better than me. But
• 1:06:06
  yeah, let's see that was what was that? That was Mount Baker and
• 1:06:11
  Squalicum. Let's talk Ferndale and Seaholme. Ferndale two and four in conference play
• 1:06:16
  three and five overall see home one and five in conference play two and eight
• 1:06:20
  overall. Yeah, Ferndale had a rough week. I mean, they had
• 1:06:24
  to play Ana Chordis and Mount Vernon. Those are two really really good teams.
• 1:06:28
  I was out there with them against Ana Chordis and it was you know,
• 1:06:33
  it was a close one. It was four to three in that one.
• 1:06:36
  Camden Raymond he got the loss again. He still hasn't allowed and earned
• 1:06:43
  run all season, but he's one and two now, so it just airs
• 1:06:47
  kind of did him in really really close game. Ana Cordis had a couple
• 1:06:51
  diving catches in the outfield that would have easily scored some more runs for the
• 1:06:56
  Golden Eagles. So that's a tough one too, But that's baseball. Mount
• 1:07:00
  Mount Vernon got them pretty good see home. I think they're much improved.
• 1:07:04
  I love I love what they're what they've been doing. They played a close
• 1:07:08
  one against LC they got beat six to two, and then and then they
• 1:07:12
  had to play against Anti Chordus lost seven zero. But it's a really really
• 1:07:15
  young team and they're gonna, you know, they beat Blayane earlier in the
• 1:07:19
  year. I mean, they're they're gonna they're gonna do They're gonna do some
• 1:07:23
  pretty good things against some pretty good teams, and they're gonna kind of play
• 1:07:27
  that that spore the rule and maybe get in there with that playing game for
• 1:07:30
  the two way districts, just like they did last year. And they took
• 1:07:33
  care of business in that one to get into districts. So yeah, they
• 1:07:38
  have some good top end talent on that team. Now, Tyler, talking
• 1:07:42
  at conference play, we've got five teams a little bit of a log jam
• 1:07:45
  here. It's five teams that are at three and three in conference play.
• 1:07:48
  Let's start with Bellingham and Niksack Valley because both of those teams are five and
• 1:07:54
  five overall. Yeah, and we've been talking about them as like, you
• 1:07:58
  know, teams that you talk about them four or five years ago. Those
• 1:08:01
  were the teams that you'd go get your wins, you know, and this
• 1:08:04
  year it's been totally different. They're both playing really well. But earlier in
• 1:08:09
  the week Bellingham got Squalk them five nothing Owen Rasmussen with his third win of
• 1:08:13
  the season. The senior did really well. He also went two for two
• 1:08:16
  in that game. And then uh, but then it was it was they
• 1:08:24
  lost to Lakewood. That that's what it was, and that was and that's
• 1:08:27
  tough. Lakewood. Lakewood's really has been improving too. They they were kind
• 1:08:30
  of down and you know at that point like three or four five years ago
• 1:08:33
  as well. So it's good to see a lot of these teams starting to
• 1:08:36
  improve. Nuk Sac Valley. They got Mount Baker earlier in the year or
• 1:08:41
  early in the week, I should say, eight to one and had no
• 1:08:45
  errors in that game, and that was I know, one thing that coach
• 1:08:46
  Twist Blair was really happy about was no heirs. You know, it's that
• 1:08:50
  it's pretty rare in a high school baseball game to not commit any heirs.
• 1:08:55
  Eddie Surda got his second winning that one. Jesse Trussell had three hits and
• 1:08:59
  they came over. And then the next day they're playing against Meridian. I
• 1:09:01
  was out at that game. I was sat in the parking lot forever at
• 1:09:04
  Meridian kind of like when when's this game gonna get happening? And then uh,
• 1:09:10
  it got switched, It got moved to Knooksack kind of last second.
• 1:09:14
  So uh, head on down Badger and go out to Knoksack and get there
• 1:09:17
  and goes you know, maybe bottom of the first top a second. By
• 1:09:20
  the time I got there, caught the rest of that one, and uh
• 1:09:24
  and Meridian got him five to one in a really good game. This is
• 1:09:27
  a game that you know, in years past would be a ten to nothing
• 1:09:30
  game, eleven to one game. So, uh, Knooksack played pretty well
• 1:09:33
  in that one. They just had a few errors earlier on and allowed Meridian
• 1:09:38
  to score all five of their runs in the in the in the second inning.
• 1:09:41
  And and then uh but after that, Evan Brown came in and pitched
• 1:09:45
  great, only gave up two hits in like four plus innings or something like
• 1:09:48
  that or I think it was four innings on the on the dot, and
• 1:09:54
  and shut Meridian down. But you know, the damage had already been done.
• 1:09:58
  Meridian, Blaine and Linny Christian the other three teams that are three and
• 1:10:01
  three in conference play now. Meridian they are eight and three overall, Blamee
• 1:10:05
  seven and three overall, Lynn and Christian six and four overall. Yeah,
• 1:10:11
  all one a school. So this is looking really really interesting for seeding coming
• 1:10:15
  up and stuff like that. These teams are gonna start playing each other coming
• 1:10:19
  up this week, so it's really gonna start to separate, you know.
• 1:10:24
  Linnen Christian had a pretty good week, beating Sea Home six to two and
• 1:10:29
  then beating Oak Harbor three to one. That was an amazing game to be
• 1:10:32
  able to beat them. Brody Bauman got the win. He was He's three
• 1:10:38
  and zero on the year. He threw just seventy six pitches in a complete
• 1:10:42
  game. Now, I understand it's only seven innings, but that's that's really
• 1:10:46
  impressive to be able to just throw seventy six innings in a complete game.
• 1:10:50
  Like else, what's that seventy six pitches? Oh, seventy six pitches.
• 1:10:56
  I'm sorry, seventy six innings. I was like, that seems like a
• 1:10:58
  really long game. Yeah, Nolan Ryan's probably done it a few times.
• 1:11:01
  Yeah, I mean, he'd probably do it right now. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:11:05
  So. So el see, they kind of had a down week a
• 1:11:08
  couple of weeks ago, but they really picked it up this this past week.
• 1:11:11
  So they're definitely a team on the rise. You know, Blaine started
• 1:11:14
  to kind of flutter a little bit a couple of weeks ago, but they
• 1:11:16
  turn around. They beat Burlington Edison eight to one, and then they beat
• 1:11:20
  Mount Baker fifteen to zero, so they're they're kind of starting to pick up
• 1:11:25
  where they were. Hunter Vizzetti hit a three run home run and he,
• 1:11:29
  you know, he is playing with an injury, so he's just going to
• 1:11:31
  be batting. He's not able to play in the field, but talk about
• 1:11:34
  a nice thing to have as a DH, like like Hunter Pozzetti that can
• 1:11:38
  come in and just and just Rake. He went two for three with three
• 1:11:42
  RBIs and that home run against Mount Baker and Meridian. I mean, they
• 1:11:46
  it was a tough beginning of the week, losing desdro Woolley nine to two,
• 1:11:51
  but after that it was just you know, go, go go.
• 1:11:56
  They beat Nuksack Valley and then they took a day off and then they played
• 1:12:00
  two more. They beat Brewster twenty four to fifteen. Nice them to get
• 1:12:03
  that extra field goal and there at the end to make it a more than
• 1:12:06
  a one touchdown game. But that one they just I mean, they've they've
• 1:12:11
  played games like this where they just score a ton of runs. And then
• 1:12:14
  after that they beat Kashmir ten to seven, and so a lot of offense
• 1:12:19
  going on. It's you know, Meridan, they only suit up they you
• 1:12:25
  know, they'll suit up like twelve guys on varsity, and they know everyone
• 1:12:28
  knows their rule and if they get in, make the most of it.
• 1:12:31
  And they're just really well coached, and it's just it's you know, they're
• 1:12:35
  very very machine like Ethan or not Ethan. B s Silas first Shower hit
• 1:12:42
  a home run Grand Slam against Brewster and uh Man just to just they're starting
• 1:12:48
  to peak too. So once these teams start playing each other this upcoming week,
• 1:12:53
  like I said earlier, that's really where the separation will be. And
• 1:12:58
  and uh it's it's tough. They only get to play these teams once in
• 1:13:00
  conference play, but you can imagine there might be another matchup down the road
• 1:13:04
  once you get into districts. The top of the conference, well top of
• 1:13:09
  the county standings are the Linden Lions five and one in the conference, nine
• 1:13:15
  and two overall. Yeah, they played four games this week, dropped a
• 1:13:18
  tough one to Mount Vernon to started out three to two. Really good Bulldogs
• 1:13:24
  squad there kind of that game was pretty much for the top of the Northwest
• 1:13:27
  Conference and a really good game. But man, it's really tough to beat
• 1:13:31
  the Bulldogs. And that one was down at Sherman Anderson Field. The next
• 1:13:36
  day they came back around beat Burlington four to one. Lane Simonson picks up
• 1:13:42
  his fourth win of the year, lowered his right to zero point twenty nine.
• 1:13:47
  It's really hard to see that in that year. It's so minuscool.
• 1:13:51
  And then they head out to Sila and played a couple games in a couple
• 1:13:55
  of days. And that's something they've always done during spring breaks, especially recently.
• 1:14:00
  Uh and and against Seila, which is a great, great team.
• 1:14:04
  Uh they beat They beat them eight to five in the first game. The
• 1:14:08
  second game, Seila got them eight to three. So imagine. And that's
• 1:14:13
  what Lyndon's always really good at is they played four days in a row.
• 1:14:15
  I had four different starting pitchers in four games in a row. And they've
• 1:14:19
  always been able to have a deep staff and have the horses to be able
• 1:14:25
  to do that and have guys that can come out of the pen and and
• 1:14:28
  pitch as well. So uh you know that that's that really shows a lot.
• 1:14:32
  And it's they always play a really really difficult non conference schedule and that's
• 1:14:38
  only gonna help them when once it comes to postseason, playing like it did
• 1:14:42
  last year and they get all the way to the state championship game, you
• 1:14:45
  know. So uh so these guys, uh you know that. I almost
• 1:14:50
  want to say it is the biggest surprise for them for baseball because they didn't
• 1:14:55
  have a ton of varsity experience coming into this season. But man, it's
• 1:15:00
  just it's just the same thing. Man. It's like if Lyndon graduates all
• 1:15:02
  that talent in football, they all come and all these guys that played against
• 1:15:06
  them in practice are really good even though you've never seen them, you shouldn't
• 1:15:10
  be surprised anymore. So I got to learn that with the baseball team,
• 1:15:13
  I shouldn't be surprised anymore. Corey White knows what he's doing. Uh.
• 1:15:15
  They have the really good Linden Lightning summer teams and stuff like that. So
• 1:15:20
  there's a lot of talent in that area. And uh, and it's it's
• 1:15:25
  it keeps proving out nine and two overall, right now, a really really
• 1:15:29
  good team, Tyler. Have you ever? So I just out of curiosity,
• 1:15:34
  I was like, I want to know what you know, what is
• 1:15:36
  Sela's record? And and you know, these websites are just not good.
• 1:15:42
  They don't really make it easy for you. But uh, they're eleven and
• 1:15:45
  two on the season. They're this is a very interesting, interesting schedule within
• 1:15:54
  their league. So they played double headers every single time. So take for
• 1:16:01
  instance, they played Linden on Wednesday and Thursday, and then they went back
• 1:16:05
  into into conference play on Saturday and played two games at Prosser eleven am and
• 1:16:12
  one pm. Wow, And then they had a couple of days off.
• 1:16:15
  They play a Tuesday game against Na Chiefs Valley, and then they go back
• 1:16:21
  Saturday. This coming Saturday, well, they get home games against Grandview eleven
• 1:16:28
  and one, and then they don't play again until the following Saturday where they
• 1:16:31
  go a doubleheader at East Valley of Yakama. Wow, that is a really
• 1:16:36
  strange schedule. Like, are they like and you would know this far better
• 1:16:41
  than I ever would, But are these teams that they're playing these doubleheaders in
• 1:16:45
  their conference games? You said, yes? But how how far that this
• 1:16:50
  is? I'm sure it's a little further drive than well within Walking County.
• 1:16:55
  See that Ellensburg is not that far. You just got to go up over
• 1:16:58
  a Nashtash Ridge, which is like it makes it a longer drive than like
• 1:17:01
  what it, you know, than like a straight shot. Yeah, a
• 1:17:04
  Freda, that's a pretty good drive. I mean, that's a that's a
• 1:17:08
  decent drive. You're talking about going north of north of Moses Lake from there
• 1:17:15
  Prosser. That's a decent little drive. It's it's just on your way to
• 1:17:17
  Tri Cities. Not these valleys right down the road. Grand View is on
• 1:17:21
  your way to Prosser. East Valley of Yakama not very far. That's East
• 1:17:26
  Valley of Yacama is just on the other side of the freeway from from the
• 1:17:30
  sun Dome and Cela. I'm sure you know where Sela's at. Its just
• 1:17:31
  right there north of Yakama. Yeah. A C. Davis is a game
• 1:17:35
  that they they play. That's a non conference game. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:17:40
  you know, a little bit of a drive for some of these,
• 1:17:42
  but yeah, very interesting. Guess I guess in the Northwest Conference. I
• 1:17:45
  mean, if your nook Sack and you got to go down and play you
• 1:17:48
  know, Lakewood, That's that's a pretty far drive too, now that I
• 1:17:53
  think about it, And well I count O Harbor, you know, like
• 1:17:57
  that's you know, it's not not only do you got to I've down to
• 1:18:00
  Mount Vernon, but then you gotta go west and then you got to go
• 1:18:01
  back down south, you know, so it's not exactly right down the road.
• 1:18:04
  Yeah, so yeah, I don't know, it's kind of interesting.
• 1:18:06
  It's I mean, it's a it's a one way of doing it to where
• 1:18:11
  they probably saved themselves a lot of money. But it's it's weird that you
• 1:18:16
  know you're going to play two games against one team and it's not going to
• 1:18:19
  be a home and a home, you know what I mean, Like,
• 1:18:21
  that's that's very interesting. And then to play wonderful. I wonder if they
• 1:18:25
  play I know it's at one spot because it's double header, but I wonder
• 1:18:29
  if it is a home and a home on the scoreboard. Yeah, maybe,
• 1:18:31
  I don't know. That's a that's a good question. Well, and
• 1:18:34
  it says it says away at Rotary Park. I mean, I think that
• 1:18:39
  would make it. I think I think you would do that on here,
• 1:18:42
  just to make it easy so that people don't think you're going to play it
• 1:18:45
  too. But it's interesting too because like so they played Monday, March twenty
• 1:18:50
  fifth, they played Allensburg in a double header and it was a two and
• 1:18:56
  a four pm game. Boom boom. Yeah. Yeah, but how the
• 1:18:59
  heck did you play a two pm game? I mean, yeah, they
• 1:19:02
  were out of school to go play a two pm game. I remember doing
• 1:19:08
  that. We played a doubleheader against Friday Harbor. Uh, that's a little
• 1:19:12
  bit different. You got to catch a fair yeah, right, sure,
• 1:19:14
  but yeah, but we had to get it. We got out of school,
• 1:19:15
  they came here and we got to a school like noon to play like
• 1:19:20
  you know whatever. It was one in three and we don't have lights.
• 1:19:24
  So yeah, yeah, I don't know. It's really weird to look at
• 1:19:28
  that schedule and see how they do. Granted, I'm sure they have good
• 1:19:30
  reasoning for it. I'm sure there's something to it, but yeah again.

• 1:20:08

• 1:20:11
  like that. I went with Cooper Moore, the senior second basement cleanup hitter
• 1:20:15
  for the Lynnen Lions. Linden playing four games this week against really good teams
• 1:20:20
  Mount Vernon, Burlington and then two against Selah went one for three with an
• 1:20:25
  RBI and a walk against Mount Vernon, and then he goes two for three
• 1:20:29
  with two runs against Burlington and then the Gate and then against Sela he goes
• 1:20:32
  two for four with a double, two RBIs, two runs in a walk
• 1:20:36
  and then in the final game against Cela he hit a home run. So
• 1:20:42
  I mean he got a hit in every game, did some damage, did

• 1:21:29
  a look ahead, and you know, if somebody wanted to sponsor this,
• 1:21:31
  they could. Spring break though is over, so we are now back at
• 1:21:35
  it full slate of all kinds of sports going on this week, Tyler.
• 1:21:40
  On the boys side, what are some of the games you're looking forward to?
• 1:21:43
  Well, on the boy's side, you know, there's a lot of
• 1:21:45
  baseball game, especially with these one A teams starting to play each other.
• 1:21:49
  But but I look at that Tuesday game. I'm ridding at Blaine. I
• 1:21:55
  love this game because a couple of reasons. I look at that and go,
• 1:22:00
  I would imagine that's gonna be Jonah Aussi against Kieran marcuson these are these
• 1:22:03
  are two guys that are just strike throwing extraordinaries, and that's gonna be a
• 1:22:12
  fantastic game. And I you know, and it could really determine this,
• 1:22:16
  you know, who the best team from the one A is. And now
• 1:22:18
  I know the Links have something to say about that, and the Pioneers are
• 1:22:23
  right there as well. But this is gonna be a fantastic matchup. That's
• 1:22:27
  Tuesday at four point thirty out at Pipeline Fields at Blaine, baseball game and
• 1:22:31
  then on for on the soccer side on Thursday at seven o'clock under the lights
• 1:22:36
  in the new stadium, Belling Him at Ferndale. Now the records are a
• 1:22:40
  little different, but man, I tell you what, Ferndale is playing really
• 1:22:44
  well. They've played really good opponents so far. They've been they've lost some
• 1:22:47
  heartbreakers. I think that they could give Belling Him a pretty good game.
• 1:22:54
  I think this one's gonna be a lot of fun to watch. I'm excited
• 1:22:58
  to check it out in person. Bellingham at Ferndale on Thursday at seven o'clock
• 1:23:02
  soccer game. What about on the girls side? What do you think looking
• 1:23:05
  at over there, Well, there's a few here. You look at Tuesday
• 1:23:10
  fast Pitch Linden at Sidrow Wollie. That's you're talking about two big time two
• 1:23:15
  way squads in the state going against each other that conference game. This is
• 1:23:21
  one of those ones that's you know, as far as the two ways go,
• 1:23:27
  you're looking at who the best two way team is gonna be a Northwest
• 1:23:30
  conference is gonna be determined in this game. Si Drow puts up a ton
• 1:23:32
  of points. They shut him down as well. Really good pitcher Lindon,
• 1:23:36
  I mean is always great. This one's gonna be played at Sie Drow.
• 1:23:41
  It's gonna be a great game Tuesday at four o'clock and Wednesday at three point
• 1:23:44
  thirty. We mentioned this a little bit, how Linden has three tennis matches
• 1:23:47
  in a row in three days. That middle one will be at Snahomish.
• 1:23:51
  Snohomish undefeated on the season in girls tennis. Linden's undefeated on the season in
• 1:23:58
  girls tennis, so this is gonna be a really good match non conference obviously,
• 1:24:02
  Wednesday at three thirty. You know, you just don't really know how
• 1:24:09
  some of these other teams are around outside of the conference. I mean,
• 1:24:13
  there's not a ton of non conference tennis matches, you know, just to
• 1:24:16
  be honest, it doesn't happen very often. I think this will be a
• 1:24:20
  really, really good one. You know, Lindon is is really good overall.
• 1:24:25
  I think their strength is in their doubles games, and we'll just see
• 1:24:29
  what Snohomish has to offer. Snohomish is a bigger school, so you would
• 1:24:31
  imagine they're gonna be pretty good, and they're beating other really big schools as
• 1:24:35
  well. Undefeated on the season, so so that'll be a good one for
• 1:24:39
  Wednesday at three thirty down at Snohomish. Yeah, I think you told me
• 1:24:44
  they beat was a Glacier Peak and that was Glacier Peak's only loss of the
• 1:24:47
  year. Glacier Peaks a bigger four A school. So yeah, Snohomish is
• 1:24:53
  playing some schools that are, you know, bigger than them and winning.
• 1:24:56
  So yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens there in that one,
• 1:25:00
  Tyler, Are we done? Is that it? I think so? I
• 1:25:03
  think the time wise we did, we did. Okay, we didn't go
• 1:25:06
  a ton ton less than usual. Oh I think we might have even gotten
• 1:25:10
  slightly further. Yeah, I mean we're at an hour twenty four Tyler,
• 1:25:15
  no problem. Yeah, I mean it's kind of funny we say maybe a
• 1:25:17
  little bit. Yeah, well, we're gonna find a way to go along.
• 1:25:19
  That's just what it is. You know why, because we put on
• 1:25:23
  for the people of Wakham County. Tyler. That's why. That's right,
• 1:25:25
  that's right. They love it. I tell you, More and more people
• 1:25:28
  are listening. It's awesome. I'm always flabberg acid that people even know that
• 1:25:32
  this is out there, and and every every time I'm at an event,
• 1:25:36
  someone that I don't know comes up to me and says that they love the
• 1:25:40
  show. So so that's awesome. That's awesome, and the next one will
• 1:25:44
  be number two hundred and fifty. Yeah, we would have ever thought,
• 1:25:46
  you know, I mean, it's pretty wild to think about Tyler. I
• 1:25:50
  mean, yeah, we're a quarter of the way to a thousand, think
• 1:25:55
  about that. Yeah, we were all like, we got to get a
• 1:25:58
  big time you know intro for number fifty year. Yeah, number fifty was
• 1:26:01
  that the Jake Locker in that locker interview. Now granted we had nothing else
• 1:26:06
  going on because it was like right in the middle of COVID, But yeah,
• 1:26:10
  I remember we were going nuts for fifty and now here we are what
• 1:26:13
  five times that, you know what I mean, we're and I think for
• 1:26:16
