- 0:23Speaker 2: a weekly wrap up. I'm Ryland Spencer along with me,
- 0:25Speaker 2: as always is Tyler Anderson of WATCUM.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Perhaps, Tyler, how we doing doing great? When you said
- 0:30Speaker 1: three forty six, it was almost like it was a
- 0:33Speaker 1: question forty six.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like, holy crap. I can't believe we've
- 0:38Speaker 2: done that many and haven't been canceled yet.
- 0:40Speaker 1: I know, I know it's still going and I'm still
- 0:43Speaker 1: hearing from people, so I guess we'll just keep going
- 0:46Speaker 1: doing doing pretty good, doing pretty good. It was another,
- 0:49Speaker 1: you know, crazy week. We're getting right down to the
- 0:52Speaker 1: home stretch now of regular season stuff. May is loaded
- 0:55Speaker 1: with postseason stuff, so you know, we'll get right down
- 1:00Speaker 1: on to it. And you know, there's some interesting races
- 1:03Speaker 1: right now. In some sports. There's tennis, everybody's kind of
- 1:06Speaker 1: beating everybody else, so it's kind of really strange at
- 1:09Speaker 1: the top and track there's new school records and there's
- 1:12Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff going on.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Yeah, we have plenty, plenty, a lot of plenties to
- 1:17Speaker 2: talk about tonight, all the sports coming up here. But
- 1:21Speaker 2: we need to give a thank you to Gordy Bedlington Linden,
- 1:24Speaker 2: sophomore shortstop. He gave us the intro just a few
- 1:27Speaker 2: moments ago, So thank you for that. Tyler sponsors, you know,
- 1:32Speaker 2: we're we're getting to the postseason, so I guess maybe
- 1:34Speaker 2: if somebody wanted to sponsor some postseason stuff, they could,
- 1:36Speaker 2: But is there anything left in the spring, And I
- 1:40Speaker 2: mean we're talking fall, we can start talking fall for
- 1:42Speaker 2: the most part.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean there you know, as far as spring goes,
- 1:48Speaker 1: you know, the top fifty lists for baseball and fast
- 1:51Speaker 1: pitch haven't been spoken for yet. So that's something that Yeah,
- 1:56Speaker 1: that's one of those things that it kind of sneaks
- 1:58Speaker 1: up on me and I I kind of forget to
- 2:01Speaker 1: tell people about, like you know, I could use a
- 2:04Speaker 1: sponsor or whatever, and then all of a sudden we're
- 2:06Speaker 1: there and then I don't have a sponsor for it.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So I guess getting it out now, and I know
- 2:10Speaker 1: that there are sponsors that are doing stuff for baseball
- 2:14Speaker 1: and fast pitch now that might say hey, I'll jump
- 2:17Speaker 1: on that. So yeah, those would be big things. And those,
- 2:20Speaker 1: you know, those kind of start coming out in June
- 2:24Speaker 1: and so there's a little bit of time left, not
- 2:28Speaker 1: a lot, maybe five weeks, and then then those, yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 1: those will start rolling out, and so those would be
- 2:34Speaker 1: the big things. I still don't feel super comfortable yet
- 2:37Speaker 1: doing a soccer one. It could happen. I'm not saying
- 2:41Speaker 1: it won't, but I'd have to talk to some coaches
- 2:44Speaker 1: and officials maybe and just kind of you know, get
- 2:48Speaker 1: a pretty good idea. But yeah, things like that. But
- 2:51Speaker 1: then again, obviously fall then there's a lot of stuff
- 2:56Speaker 1: that rolls around in there, and yeah, it's gonna be
- 3:00Speaker 1: it's gonna be another exciting year. And and I said
- 3:03Speaker 1: it last week on the podcast that I just again
- 3:06Speaker 1: want to thank everyone who who donated recently. There was
- 3:09Speaker 1: a there was just a huge surge UH and it's
- 3:13Speaker 1: really really helped things going. I did get a new
- 3:16Speaker 1: UH computer, which is great, and the big thing about
- 3:19Speaker 1: it I love and right, and I know you're gonna
- 3:21Speaker 1: appreciate this is when I'm working on Adobe, when I'm
- 3:24Speaker 1: working on graphics, It's like if I have to grab
- 3:26Speaker 1: something and move it. It's so smooth.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you know.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And it's like you know when your computer's going bad,
- 3:32Speaker 1: when it's like really choppy and you and then you
- 3:34Speaker 1: move it to a place and you think you have
- 3:36Speaker 1: in the right place, but you don't want to let
- 3:37Speaker 1: go of that mouse yet. You don't know if it's
- 3:40Speaker 1: in the right place until later. So so that's been great.
- 3:44Speaker 1: It's been making the scoreboards and those kinds of things
- 3:47Speaker 1: go a lot faster.
- 3:48Speaker 2: And and one are those things you didn't even know huh.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Yeah, you didn't even realize that screens, So yeah, yeah,
- 3:56Speaker 1: and I got I got, I got a bunch of
- 3:57Speaker 1: screens up now, so I can it's a lot easier.
- 4:00Speaker 1: So they usually have like twenty windows up at once,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and now I don't have to have it all on
- 4:03Speaker 1: one screen searching for things. I can do it on
- 4:06Speaker 1: multiple screens. So so it's the mine is getting put
- 4:09Speaker 1: to good use. So it's been great.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean really good use. I know from experience
- 4:14Speaker 2: that getting a new computer. And the crazy thing is Tyler,
- 4:16Speaker 2: I was just thinking about this the other day. So
- 4:20Speaker 2: the computer that I use that powers Adobe and everything
- 4:23Speaker 2: else and powers my screen that I'm looking at right now.
- 4:27Speaker 2: It sits off to the side and I pretty much
- 4:29Speaker 2: don't bring it with me really anywhere anymore. The school
- 4:32Speaker 2: district issued me a stupid MacBook Air and I bring
- 4:36Speaker 2: that around at times, but it's crap. But uh, anyway,
- 4:40Speaker 2: so that computer, I bought it in twenty I want
- 4:44Speaker 2: to say, it was like January of twenty seventeen. Wow,
- 4:48Speaker 2: and it's still awesome. So like Lenovo is what I bought,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and Lenovo's are I mean, I've had a couple of
- 4:55Speaker 2: them and they're unbelievable.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had some too, and I've loved them as well.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what I'm I was kind of thinking
- 5:01Speaker 2: about looking into a new one because this one that
- 5:04Speaker 2: I have doesn't run Adobe after Effects all that well.
- 5:07Speaker 2: And I know you don't know what that is, but
- 5:09Speaker 2: Adobe after Adobe Premiere is the video editing. Adobe after
- 5:13Speaker 2: Effects allows you to do all kinds of really really
- 5:16Speaker 2: cool stuff. You know. I think you remember I used
- 5:19Speaker 2: to make those videos for Wacom Preps podcast. Actually it's
- 5:23Speaker 2: probably the Wacome County Football podcast. When we had that
- 5:26Speaker 2: where the audio levels would bounce on the video. You know,
- 5:30Speaker 2: remember that that was after effects and after effects has
- 5:34Speaker 2: gotten so advanced that it doesn't run real great on
- 5:37Speaker 2: this computer. But I don't but I don't use it
- 5:39Speaker 2: all that much. But I've been thinking about getting a
- 5:42Speaker 2: new one, because if I did get a new one,
- 5:44Speaker 2: I probably would use it, you know what I mean,
- 5:46Speaker 2: and I could make some really cool stuff. So I've
- 5:48Speaker 2: been thinking about that. But yeah, man, you get a
- 5:51Speaker 2: new computer and it's just I mean, it's like a
- 5:53Speaker 2: well oiled machine, you know what I mean, all of
- 5:55Speaker 2: a sudden, it's just Yeah. I bet the first time
- 5:58Speaker 2: you went through and did graphics and you know, updated
- 6:01Speaker 2: some of that stuff, I bet you went, Wow, this
- 6:03Speaker 2: is going to save a lot of time. Like, yeah.
- 6:05Speaker 1: The big thing I realized is like, oh, I got
- 6:07Speaker 1: download of those fonts again. Oh yeah, but I've done
- 6:10Speaker 1: it enough times now to where I didn't have to
- 6:13Speaker 1: email you or call you. I could just do it
- 6:15Speaker 1: and it worked, And I was like, Okay, great, here
- 6:17Speaker 1: we go.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got them on the other computer, so
- 6:20Speaker 2: you just got to go look at it and figure
- 6:21Speaker 2: out which ones they are and yeah, all right, Well,
- 6:25Speaker 2: hey Tyler, we got a lot of stuff to talk
- 6:26Speaker 2: about here. We've got boys, golf, we've got girls golf,
- 6:29Speaker 2: a lot of action, and girls tennis. This could be
- 6:31Speaker 2: a girl's tennis heavy one here. Lots of stuff to
- 6:34Speaker 2: update on track and field. We've got boys soccer, we've
- 6:37Speaker 2: got fast pitch, and we've got baseball. So let's get
- 6:40Speaker 2: right into it here with boys golf. The standings in
- 6:44Speaker 2: the Northwest Conference. We'll just kind of go through the
- 6:46Speaker 2: top five, maybe talk about a couple other teams here.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Meridian they leave the Northwest Conference. They are in first place,
- 6:52Speaker 2: Barlington Edison in second, oh Harbor third, Ferndale fourth, Sea
- 6:56Speaker 2: Home is in fifth. Couple other Walkham County teams Lennon
- 6:59Speaker 2: Christians seventh, Blaine in ninth, and right behind them in
- 7:03Speaker 2: tenth or in excuse me, Blaine in tenth. Right behind
- 7:06Speaker 2: them in eleventh and twelfth is Bellingham and Nooksack Valley.
- 7:10Speaker 2: So yeah, boys golf in full swing. Hey, hey, Tyler,
- 7:15Speaker 2: let's talk about the Wacam County top ten sorted by
- 7:18Speaker 2: eighteen whole average, and we've got two individuals tied at
- 7:24Speaker 2: tenth place.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah, Gavin Nabel, who's kind of been in that spot
- 7:27Speaker 1: for a while, from Ferndale. He's tied with Kingston Perreira
- 7:30Speaker 1: from Lennon Christian who makes his first appearance in the
- 7:32Speaker 1: top ten. They are tied to eighty seven point six.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Strokes in point six better than them at ninth place.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Yes, Logan Jacobe of Meridian with eighty seven.
- 7:44Speaker 2: We start dropping a couple of more strokes here eighth place,
- 7:47Speaker 2: we've got eighty five strokes for Evan Eisley Tyler. How
- 7:51Speaker 2: about seventh place? How do you get to eighty four
- 7:53Speaker 2: point two?
- 7:55Speaker 1: Yeah? Peyton Abdia, Yeah, he's He shot like a seventy
- 8:01Speaker 1: four this past week at at Shuckson golf Course. I
- 8:05Speaker 1: was there, I saw a few of the holes, and
- 8:09Speaker 1: that was probably his best outing of his career at
- 8:12Speaker 1: the high school level. Anyways, I don't know what he
- 8:15Speaker 1: does on the weekends, but that shot him up to
- 8:18Speaker 1: now in seventh place, eighty four point two average seventy four.
- 8:21Speaker 2: My goodness, that is way better than I can do.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Let me tell you that. Yeah, way way way better.
- 8:28Speaker 2: How about sixth place Tyler?
- 8:31Speaker 1: Yeah, Jackson Eva of Seaholme, he's you know, these top
- 8:34Speaker 1: six haven't moved a lot. They're starting to kind of
- 8:37Speaker 1: get a little closer together here.
- 8:39Speaker 2: He's eighty three average right now fifth place.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Nathan Larson and Meridian had a really hot streak earlier
- 8:46Speaker 1: in the year, settling at eighty one point eight.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned that the you know, hasn't
- 8:52Speaker 2: really changed a lot. I was just thinking to myself,
- 8:54Speaker 2: it seems like the top four has been relatively the
- 8:56Speaker 2: same top four for a little while. Now we got
- 8:59Speaker 2: Jack Stapleton and at fourth place, Tyler.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's you know, he's one of those guys
- 9:04Speaker 3: that he relies on those on those long drives and
- 9:09Speaker 3: he can kind of get out ahead of everybody and
- 9:11Speaker 3: then from there see how he does.
- 9:13Speaker 1: I've got to see him a lot recently up close,
- 9:15Speaker 1: and and he puts a lot of torque on that swing.
- 9:18Speaker 1: You see the follow through and his his left he's
- 9:21Speaker 1: like on his left ankle almost he's and you see
- 9:24Speaker 1: some of those baseball players that would do that, you know, yeah, right,
- 9:28Speaker 1: Adrian Beltre would go down to one knee. Yeah. So yeah,
- 9:32Speaker 1: he's he's got a lot of torque on that swing.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Now we do have a tie at second place, Tyler,
- 9:37Speaker 2: and it's uh, I feel as though our guy TB
- 9:41Speaker 2: three has maybe been making some moves here.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Yeah, he has he's getting. He's tied now with Matthew Blankenberg,
- 9:47Speaker 1: both seventy seven point six. He shot extremely well earlier
- 9:52Speaker 1: in the week. I think that was out at Suddon
- 9:54Speaker 1: Valley Golf Course. Got a good picture of him with
- 9:57Speaker 1: a ry after he made about a fifteen foot butt.
- 10:00Speaker 1: He was all smiles after that. So he had a
- 10:03Speaker 1: really good round there. I want to say he shot
- 10:05Speaker 1: maybe a seventy four seventy five at that point or
- 10:08Speaker 1: in that one, So he was able to come up
- 10:11Speaker 1: and tie with Matthew Blankenberg first place.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Still the same name, and man, he's got quite the
- 10:17Speaker 2: distance between him and second place.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's really something. I mean, he's just so steady.
- 10:22Speaker 1: He does everything well, there's no weaknesses, always around par
- 10:26Speaker 1: or under par at every event he's at. So Daniel Blankenberg,
- 10:30Speaker 1: the defending one, a state champion, looking to make it
- 10:33Speaker 1: too now really really really finishing strong. It seems like
- 10:37Speaker 1: every time I go out and watch him the repetitive motion,
- 10:42Speaker 1: he never has a bad shot. You know, I think
- 10:45Speaker 1: only once have I seen him like miss a putt
- 10:48Speaker 1: that that I thought going in that he would make
- 10:50Speaker 1: and it was still a pretty long butt. So he's
- 10:53Speaker 1: got every part of his game down and you know,
- 10:55Speaker 1: looking to close the season out strong.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Yeah. The boys and girls state championships May twentieth and
- 11:01Speaker 2: twenty first. They are in a couple of different locations
- 11:04Speaker 2: around the state. The one A boys and girls are
- 11:07Speaker 2: both at Liberty Lake Golf Course in Liberty Lake. I
- 11:10Speaker 2: believe that's just east of Spokane. I could be wrong here,
- 11:15Speaker 2: But then you've got the two A boys that is
- 11:17Speaker 2: at Riverside Golf Club in Schehalis. The two A girls
- 11:20Speaker 2: are at Tomwater Valley Golf Club obviously in Tomwater. The
- 11:23Speaker 2: three A boys and girls they are over in Spokane
- 11:28Speaker 2: Creek at qual Chan Golf Course. So I think I
- 11:32Speaker 2: said that right. That's the boys the girls Indian Canyon
- 11:35Speaker 2: Golf Course in Spokane. So a lot of action going
- 11:38Speaker 2: on there. And then actually, Tyler, I mean, are there
- 11:40Speaker 2: any golfers from that we know from Lummy.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I don't think they have golf, Okay, I know that
- 11:49Speaker 1: they're doing track and field. I do not think there's golf.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I don't think they have a golf team.
- 11:55Speaker 2: That could be one of those ones where maybe there
- 11:56Speaker 2: is a golfer or two that's playing at another school.
- 11:59Speaker 2: So that we just don't know out but right.
- 12:01Speaker 1: And that could be Travis Brocky the third because I
- 12:04Speaker 1: know the Brocky last name. There are some kids that
- 12:06Speaker 1: have been that have gone to lummy nations, So it's possible,
- 12:10Speaker 1: don't know for sure.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Maybe we maybe somebody listening can give us an answer.
- 12:14Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it seems like we get quite a
- 12:17Speaker 2: bit information for information that way time.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Yeah, if we ask for it, it seems like we
- 12:21Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Yeah, we do get a we
- 12:22Speaker 1: do get a little message there.
- 12:24Speaker 2: All right. That is boys golf. Let's move over and
- 12:27Speaker 2: talk about girls golf. The Northwest conference standings, Oak Harvard
- 12:31Speaker 2: leads the way right now, Burlington Edison they are in second, Meridian, third, Linden, fourth,
- 12:36Speaker 2: Cedro Wooly fifth, A couple other teams here right behind, six,
- 12:41Speaker 2: seven and eight, Ferndale, Squalcum Blaine, and we got Nooksack
- 12:44Speaker 2: Valley down at ten, see Home at eleven. So some
- 12:48Speaker 2: teams kind of near the top but kind of bunched
- 12:51Speaker 2: up in the middle there a little bit. Let's talk
- 12:54Speaker 2: Wacom County top ten that sorted by eighteen whole average.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I think you said they are shooting eight team now
- 13:00Speaker 2: correcting the girls.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been been at that for a few weeks now,
- 13:03Speaker 1: so they're they're they're in the swing of things, as
- 13:06Speaker 1: they say.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler, we've got three girls, two from Meridian, one
- 13:10Speaker 2: from Ferndale, all tied for eighth place.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Yeah, Rhys mcintee of Meridian, Dallas Ranky of Meridian, and
- 13:17Speaker 1: then and then a player that's new to the list,
- 13:19Speaker 1: Sadie Remmert from Ferndale, all average averaging one and eleven.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Two girls also tied for sixth place.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple a couple girls that kind of moved
- 13:30Speaker 1: up better their averages Stella Hogan of Sea Home and
- 13:34Speaker 1: Job Jensen of Meridian. Now at one O eight.
- 13:37Speaker 2: We got one more stroke down, and we've got a
- 13:39Speaker 2: girl all by herself in fifth place.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a lot of these are so close
- 13:44Speaker 1: to each other, but Lucy Jones by herself in fifth
- 13:46Speaker 1: place from Lyndon.
- 13:47Speaker 2: She's at one O seven. Fourth place, or excuse me,
- 13:51Speaker 2: third place. We've got to tie two girls.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Yeah, Meridians, Cali Tan and Thora Engen of Blaine, both
- 13:57Speaker 1: averaging one O six.
- 13:59Speaker 2: And then we got to drop six strokes to get
- 14:01Speaker 2: to second place.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Yeah, Emily o'tools still at one hundred. She didn't play
- 14:05Speaker 1: this past week, so the average has not changed, still
- 14:07Speaker 1: at one hundred, goods for second place.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Now, let's get completely ridiculous here, Tyler, and let's go
- 14:12Speaker 2: fourteen strokes down. I don't know if she's like teeing
- 14:14Speaker 2: off with a baseball bat or something and just crushing
- 14:16Speaker 2: home runs here, but Kisley Rector from Lynden eighty six
- 14:21Speaker 2: for an eighteen hole average, Tyler.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's it's crazy. And there are you know,
- 14:28Speaker 1: there's a lot of really good golfers too, especially Oak
- 14:30Speaker 1: Harbor that she's you know, paired up with, and and
- 14:36Speaker 1: and she just she holds her own. I mean, when
- 14:38Speaker 1: it comes to walking County golfers, she definitely stands out
- 14:41Speaker 1: ahead of everybody else. Again much much like Daniel Blankenberg,
- 14:46Speaker 1: where there's no there's no holes. It's driving, short game, chipping, putting,
- 14:52Speaker 1: everything is always spot on.
- 14:55Speaker 2: And she's just a.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Tremendous player, already signed a play or I'm not signed,
- 15:00Speaker 1: I should say, committed to playing college. Just a junior
- 15:03Speaker 1: right now, but bright, bright future ahead of her awesome
- 15:07Speaker 1: kid as well. And so it just seems like every
- 15:10Speaker 1: single week she just dominates and and you know, she
- 15:15Speaker 1: just hasn't had a bad week or a bad round.
- 15:18Speaker 1: It seems like it's always great.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, tell that's that's crazy to me. Like
- 15:25Speaker 2: it's it's crazy to look at that and see fourteen strokes.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, it's like Tiger and like in
- 15:32Speaker 1: two thousand, you know, yeah, it was winning every event
- 15:35Speaker 1: by like fifteen strokes or ten or fifteen or whatever
- 15:37Speaker 1: it was.
- 15:38Speaker 2: It's like Tiger Wood's golf on on the xbox with
- 15:42Speaker 2: it on easy level.
- 15:43Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's it for boys and girls golf, Tyler,
- 15:48Speaker 2: let's talk at girls at tennis where, boy, I'll tell
- 15:52Speaker 2: you what we thought maybe we were going to get
- 15:54Speaker 2: some some movement here, but it's tough because they're just
- 15:58Speaker 2: kind of beating each other right now. See Home to
- 16:00Speaker 2: feed Linden in a great match for to three. Bellingham
- 16:03Speaker 2: then beats Sea Home five to two. So Bellingham Lynden
- 16:07Speaker 2: in the Seahome of all three beating each other at
- 16:09Speaker 2: this point. The difference in it all is Seahome found
- 16:12Speaker 2: a way to lose one to Ferndale. But Tyler, we've
- 16:15Speaker 2: still got four girls that have yet to lose a
- 16:19Speaker 2: match this year.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty crazy because tennis is one of those
- 16:23Speaker 1: sports boys or girls tennis where I'd say like ninety
- 16:28Speaker 1: percent of the time you go into it kind of
- 16:30Speaker 1: knowing who's gonna win as far as a team. Maybe
- 16:32Speaker 1: not the you know, the matchups, the individual the matchups.
- 16:35Speaker 1: But yeah, when Ferndal beat Seome a few weeks ago,
- 16:37Speaker 1: that was a really big eye opener. And then but
- 16:42Speaker 1: these these matchups between Bellingham Linnen and Seeom, you kind
- 16:46Speaker 1: of go into it going I don't really know, it
- 16:48Speaker 1: could go either way, and it just it just keeps
- 16:50Speaker 1: doing that where everybody's beating everybody else. Like you said,
- 16:53Speaker 1: the undefeated players still left in the singles competition. Ivy
- 16:57Speaker 1: Brooks of Bellingham, she's the number four singles player unless
- 17:03Speaker 1: Kira Carlson and Ella morro go and play doubles together,
- 17:06Speaker 1: then she jumps up to the number two players. So
- 17:09Speaker 1: she's had she's every once in while, she's played some
- 17:11Speaker 1: some number two's, but she usually plays the number four.
- 17:13Speaker 1: She's still ten and O on the season. And then
- 17:16Speaker 1: Halle Brooks, Avery Brooks and rolanda Newcomb, all of Lindon
- 17:20Speaker 1: the top three players, they're all ten and o still
- 17:23Speaker 1: just very very dominant players. I've got to see the
- 17:26Speaker 1: Brooks sisters of Lindon a few times now, and I'll
- 17:30Speaker 1: tell you this, if they wanted to play doubles, they
- 17:33Speaker 1: will win state. But I'm really but because they're just
- 17:36Speaker 1: so so good, like just kind of like well, it's
- 17:40Speaker 1: like watching TV, like watching tennis on TV. But then
- 17:43Speaker 1: but they if they go singles, I'm really curious, and
- 17:47Speaker 1: I think they're juniors, so we'll see what happens. How
- 17:51Speaker 1: they're gonna play going into the state because or you know,
- 17:55Speaker 1: you gotta go through districts and everything first. But are
- 17:58Speaker 1: they gonna go as singles? Are they going to go
- 18:01Speaker 1: as a team. They've only paired up as in doubles
- 18:05Speaker 1: once and that was at the doubles tournament that took
- 18:08Speaker 1: place over the weekend at Seahome High School, which they took.
- 18:12Speaker 1: But for the most part, it is singles matchups and
- 18:16Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know if they have lost
- 18:17Speaker 1: a set yet. So they are, they're very very good,
- 18:23Speaker 1: and it could be one of those things where they
- 18:25Speaker 1: play each other for the state championship. Who knows. I
- 18:27Speaker 1: have no idea, but uh yeah, it's gonna be It's
- 18:30Speaker 1: gonna be pretty interesting to see.
- 18:32Speaker 2: So tell me this, tyler. They Linden lost to Sea
- 18:34Speaker 2: Home for three and then you've got three girls here
- 18:37Speaker 2: as being undefeated. Are those three the three that won?
- 18:40Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, those were the three the top three
- 18:43Speaker 1: singles pairs won, and then the Linden number four I'm sorry,
- 18:48Speaker 1: the Sea Home number four one, and then Sea Home
- 18:50Speaker 1: won all the doubles matches.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Wow. So I mean that's wild. Yeah, it is.
- 18:56Speaker 1: It's crazy, and yeah, so it's it's it's been pretty exciting.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I've been able to see a lot of it. There's
- 19:06Speaker 1: still a little bit left and then we're gonna get
- 19:08Speaker 1: to districts and stuff like that, and I'll be able
- 19:11Speaker 1: to see a lot of it until it starts getting
- 19:12Speaker 1: out of the county. But who knows there it could cut.
- 19:17Speaker 1: It could work out to where I get to see
- 19:19Speaker 1: some state, you know, because they're on kind of different
- 19:21Speaker 1: days and stuff like that.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Uh, you know, baseball and fast pitch are separated now,
- 19:25Speaker 1: so I haven't really looked too far ahead. I'm also
- 19:29Speaker 1: going to be going heading down to Corvallis on Friday
- 19:33Speaker 1: the ninth to go to my girlfriend's brothers graduation to
- 19:38Speaker 1: get his PhD where he does his dissertation and everything.
- 19:42Speaker 1: So it's a so I'm going to be kind of
- 19:44Speaker 1: out of the county for a little bit, but I'm
- 19:46Speaker 1: just gonna head down there and see that and drive back.
- 19:48Speaker 1: It's gonna be a it's going to be what they
- 19:50Speaker 1: call a long twenty four.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Hours, yeah, and just taking a look a little bit
- 19:56Speaker 2: of a look ahead, if you will. Yeah, Tyler. One
- 19:59Speaker 2: thing that's in interesting that I notice here is fast
- 20:03Speaker 2: pitch and tennis have the same championships, right, Yeah, Well,
- 20:09Speaker 2: one A and the B schools are at the Akama
- 20:11Speaker 2: Tennis Club the same weekend, So if you're over that way,
- 20:15Speaker 2: maybe is there somebody in one A we could go,
- 20:18Speaker 2: We could go watch.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Well, Blaine is the only one A school that plays tennis,
- 20:25Speaker 1: but I don't know, I don't know if they're going
- 20:27Speaker 1: to have anybody that's gonna advance. So it's gonna be okay.
- 20:32Speaker 2: That same weekend. Two A is at the Nords from
- 20:34Speaker 2: Tennis Center, that's I believe at the University of Washington,
- 20:38Speaker 2: and then three A is down in Vancouver at the
- 20:42Speaker 2: Vancouver Tennis Center, which I've never actually heard of, so
- 20:46Speaker 2: that's a little bit different. But uh yeah, that's girls tennis.
- 20:51Speaker 2: I mean it's funny because we thought that maybe we
- 20:54Speaker 2: would start to sort some things out, but we kind
- 20:56Speaker 2: of almost didn't, you know.
- 20:58Speaker 1: But Ferndale beating see them kind of threw a wrench
- 21:01Speaker 1: into it because you really now have the top two
- 21:05Speaker 1: and when they played each other, it was Lyndon that
- 21:07Speaker 1: beat Belling. Yes, correct, So I mean I guess there
- 21:11Speaker 1: is separation technically because of that, but you know, you
- 21:15Speaker 1: kind of would you kind of thought that one team
- 21:17Speaker 1: would be undefeated, one team would have one loss, one
- 21:18Speaker 1: team and have two losses. Yeah, and it didn't really
- 21:21Speaker 1: turn out.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Yeah, just wild. I mean it's but that's just I
- 21:25Speaker 2: think shows how good and how close those teams are,
- 21:28Speaker 2: you know, and you know Squall comes no slouch either.
- 21:32Speaker 1: And no, no, they're very very good.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's crazy to look at it and see
- 21:37Speaker 2: three teams right there, all with losses to each other,
- 21:41Speaker 2: and then, like you said, see Home with that other loss.
- 21:43Speaker 2: But all right, that's it for girls tennis. Let's talk
- 21:46Speaker 2: track and field, and as usual, track and field is
- 21:49Speaker 2: brought to you by Staffer Insurance nineteen o three Front

- 21:55Speaker 2: eighty eight o three and online at Staffer Insurance dot com.
- 21:58Speaker 2: That's st au f f Erinsurance dot com. Tyler. I
- 22:04Speaker 2: know this last weekend. I guess yesterday technically was the
- 22:08Speaker 2: big Easton Invite down at Snahomish. Were there anything else
- 22:12Speaker 2: going on this week?
- 22:13Speaker 1: There was a little bit Linda Christian hosted. It's a
- 22:16Speaker 1: kind of a yearly thing they've been doing recently where
- 22:18Speaker 1: they host a lot of all a bunch of other
- 22:20Speaker 1: Christian schools, and that was on Monday. I think on
- 22:23Speaker 1: Wednesday there was a JV meet where like all the
- 22:26Speaker 1: JV teams from Walkam County went to Civic Stadium and competed.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Although there was a Squalicum high jumper girl high jumper
- 22:33Speaker 1: the high jump four foot nine, which is tenth all
- 22:37Speaker 1: time in school history, and she was at the JV meet,
- 22:40Speaker 1: so I don't think she'd be on JV much longer.
- 22:42Speaker 1: And then and then yeah, there was the Easton Invite,
- 22:46Speaker 1: and there might have been like the Nike gear up
- 22:49Speaker 1: or something like that. There was some other things too,
- 22:52Speaker 1: so nothing League want like nothing like a league matchup,
- 22:56Speaker 1: so kind of getting ready for the big events. I
- 22:59Speaker 1: know a lot of guys were talking about the Eastern thing.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I was talking to AJ Bennett about at the long
- 23:03Speaker 1: jumper from Blaine. He was, you know, he's been talking
- 23:06Speaker 1: about for a few weeks.
- 23:07Speaker 2: It's like because he's.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Not one hundred percent, He's like, I just want to
- 23:10Speaker 1: be one hundred percent for that one because that's all
- 23:12Speaker 1: that's where you know, all the best in the state
- 23:14Speaker 1: are going to be, you know. So so yeah, there
- 23:18Speaker 1: was there was you know, a lot of schools, a
- 23:20Speaker 1: lot of athletes competed, and there was a lot of
- 23:23Speaker 1: good times. And we've talked about this too, where you
- 23:26Speaker 1: compete against the best and you tend to bring your
- 23:28Speaker 1: best when that happens. So because of that, you got
- 23:31Speaker 1: a lot of school records that have been taking place.
- 23:35Speaker 1: You've got a lot of new times and distances as well.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Yeah, and let's talk through some of those times and
- 23:41Speaker 2: distances here. We actually have new times in quite a
- 23:45Speaker 2: few of them. It's a good week for for Walkame
- 23:49Speaker 2: County Track and Field here. So let's start with the
- 23:51Speaker 2: sixteen and thirty two hundred Tyler. We got new names
- 23:55Speaker 2: for the top times in those two.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Yeah, on the on the boys side, Baines Matchinski of
- 24:01Speaker 1: Bellingham in the sixteen hundred four minutes nineteen point four
- 24:05Speaker 1: to two seconds. I think that's like the fourth best
- 24:08Speaker 1: in school history time. That's pretty it's pretty impressive. And
- 24:12Speaker 1: then Nick Gargano, our guy out of Seahome who gave
- 24:14Speaker 1: us the intro during cross country times. Uh, he ran
- 24:18Speaker 1: the thirty two hundred and nine minutes twenty seven point
- 24:21Speaker 1: seven seven seconds. He's gonna be going on to Gonzaga
- 24:24Speaker 1: to run there, which is pretty cool. So uh, and
- 24:27Speaker 1: he's been injured, he's had a foot injury, so this
- 24:29Speaker 1: is his first meet back kind of getting ready for
- 24:32Speaker 1: that and competing at the East and that's that's a
- 24:35Speaker 1: good that's a good place to go and kind of
- 24:38Speaker 1: kind of see how you are, you know, how you're
- 24:40Speaker 1: feeling against the rest of this state's best tyler.
- 24:43Speaker 2: How cool of a name is Baines Matchinsky.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I know, I know, I saw that during cross country
- 24:48Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, oh my goodness, there's like like
- 24:50Speaker 1: Bellingham's got Berkeley ass and Baines Macchinski, and it's like,
- 24:54Speaker 1: who's who's making up these names man. This is this
- 24:57Speaker 1: is this is great, This is awesome, this is a
- 25:00Speaker 1: there's a lot of creativity down there in no Bellingham Bains.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Matsinski sounds like a bodyguard of like a nineteen nineties
- 25:07Speaker 2: mobster or something, you know what I mean. Like that,
- 25:10Speaker 2: just a big guy in a suit with like a
- 25:11Speaker 2: bald head, ready to knock somebody out or break a
- 25:15Speaker 2: kneecap or a thumb if he needs to.
- 25:17Speaker 1: Uh, maybe he's maybe he's a bodyguard for Nick Cargano,
- 25:22Speaker 1: Nick Grghano.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you do? All right, let's talk hurdles.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Tyler one hundred and ten and three hundred. It's the
- 25:28Speaker 2: same guy. He's just got better times.
- 25:31Speaker 1: And this keeps happening with him, which is great. Hundred
- 25:33Speaker 1: to Shane's of Bellingham fourteen point seventy five. I think
- 25:37Speaker 1: he's ran a fourteen to five five, but that was
- 25:39Speaker 1: last year, so he's getting close to that mark again.
- 25:42Speaker 1: But really what's impressive is in the three hundred meters,
- 25:45Speaker 1: the thirty eight point eight in the I mean that's
- 25:48Speaker 1: that's his personal best. I think that's the third best
- 25:52Speaker 1: in school history. I think it's thirty eight point seven
- 25:55Speaker 1: is the best. Then like thirty eight seven five and
- 25:58Speaker 1: then and then thirty eight point eight, So you get
- 26:01Speaker 1: under forty seconds in the three hundred meters hurdles, and
- 26:04Speaker 1: you've got things timed up pretty darn well. He has
- 26:07Speaker 1: that right now. He is a guy that when it
- 26:09Speaker 1: gets to State, because of the progression every single week
- 26:12Speaker 1: and how much better he's getting, h he could be
- 26:15Speaker 1: bringing home some big time medals here. It's really really
- 26:18Speaker 1: cool to see.
- 26:19Speaker 2: We got a new group of Seahome Mariners taken over
- 26:23Speaker 2: the four by four hundred relay time.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Yeah, Porter League Parker, Norman, Aiden Batt and Campbell Phillips
- 26:28Speaker 1: now just under three and a half minutes in the
- 26:32Speaker 1: four by four hundred three minutes twenty nine point six
- 26:34Speaker 1: nine seconds there is I think there's been a different
- 26:38Speaker 1: Sea Home team maybe half of this team and half
- 26:41Speaker 1: of another two other runners that have held it at
- 26:44Speaker 1: one other point, but right now it's Porter, Parker, Aiden Campbell.
- 26:48Speaker 1: We got a new long throw in the jav Yeah,
- 26:52Speaker 1: this one kind of jumped, kind of jumped out. Marcus
- 26:55Speaker 1: Perez of Ferndale one hundred and eighty feet and four inches.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I think he beat his per best by twenty feet here.
- 27:02Speaker 1: So you know, everything just kind of worked out on
- 27:05Speaker 1: that throw, I think. And Ferndale they've just had a
- 27:09Speaker 1: run of really good javelin throwers the last you know,
- 27:13Speaker 1: five ten years. You know, I think Mark Schlichting is
- 27:17Speaker 1: the is the schools record holder. And then he went
- 27:21Speaker 1: I think he went to Wazoo to go throw the javelin.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I think he was like he was like a round
- 27:26Speaker 1: one ninety five or something like that, and there was
- 27:28Speaker 1: another and I think since they've changed the javelin, because
- 27:32Speaker 1: they changed it in two thousand and one, that's the
- 27:34Speaker 1: walka county record. And then he had a teammate too
- 27:39Speaker 1: that was like the second or third best in the
- 27:41Speaker 1: state as well. And now with with with Ferndale and
- 27:45Speaker 1: and again now with Marcus prez Grant Staffer right behind him,
- 27:49Speaker 1: they've got some big time throwers. And it's so funny
- 27:52Speaker 1: how you know, you'll see that with certain schools where
- 27:56Speaker 1: they have a lot of good hurdlers, or they have
- 27:58Speaker 1: a lot of good javelin throws, or they have a
- 28:00Speaker 1: lot of good pole vaulters. And sometimes you get a
- 28:02Speaker 1: coach to come in and you could teach a lot
- 28:04Speaker 1: of the kids, you know, little nuances and all of
- 28:07Speaker 1: a sudden, that's you know, Bellingham for years was you know,
- 28:11Speaker 1: that was the that was all the great pole vaulters
- 28:13Speaker 1: were out of Bellingham because coach Kamanngo was there and
- 28:15Speaker 1: he taught all those guys. And then coach you know,
- 28:18Speaker 1: Coach Henry out at Knoksack. And now these guys are
- 28:22Speaker 1: they're still around and they're and they're they're coaching these
- 28:24Speaker 1: individual kids. You still see them at track meets and
- 28:26Speaker 1: they're they're involved, and they're up there in age, but
- 28:29Speaker 1: they are the best. And and when you see a
- 28:32Speaker 1: really good pole vaulter, you know it's one of those guys.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to the high jump Tyler. We had
- 28:38Speaker 2: three guys at six feet and now we're out in
- 28:40Speaker 2: a fourth.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I know someone's gonna hit six foot one, and uh yeah, forever,
- 28:46Speaker 1: I mean it was it was Cole Luke's by himself
- 28:48Speaker 1: of Mount Baker. Then Blue Hankins joined him from Nuksack Valley.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Last week Logan Willh of Lyndon joined and now Nolan
- 28:55Speaker 1: Whitman of Squalkin has joined. So now we got four guys,
- 28:58Speaker 1: four different schools that have all high jumped six feet
- 29:01Speaker 1: even I mean I mean, someone, someone's got to do it.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Someone's got to hit six foot one, you know, it's uh,
- 29:08Speaker 1: don't just just don't think about it. Just just go
- 29:10Speaker 1: do it. I know it's in your head, you know,
- 29:13Speaker 1: it's all it's all a mind thing, you know. And
- 29:16Speaker 1: and uh and and and I'm just going to break
- 29:19Speaker 1: off topic for a second because this is very similar
- 29:21Speaker 1: to kind of what I'm talking about with with like
- 29:22Speaker 1: a mind thing. When I was I think it was
- 29:25Speaker 1: a sophomore in high school, we had it. We had
- 29:27Speaker 1: a lyftathon for to raise money right for football. And
- 29:31Speaker 1: I was probably one hundred and ten pounds, and that
- 29:35Speaker 1: the and the and the liftothon was how many reps
- 29:37Speaker 1: can you do? Of one thirty five? And I was like,
- 29:40Speaker 1: I told him, I was like, you know, I don't
- 29:42Speaker 1: even think I could do a rep, you know, like
- 29:43Speaker 1: I'm I'm five to two eight, one hundred and ten pounds,
- 29:46Speaker 1: and and so they said, well, let's just let's just
- 29:49Speaker 1: try it. So they put the forty five's on and
- 29:51Speaker 1: I couldn't do it, and they said, okay, let's let's
- 29:53Speaker 1: go ahead and bring it down. So they took the
- 29:54Speaker 1: weights off, they put thirty fives on but that I
- 29:57Speaker 1: didn't know this, but they put tens on the outside
- 30:00Speaker 1: and I did. I did two of them, and it
- 30:03Speaker 1: was the visual of me not seeing the big weights
- 30:07Speaker 1: on there that made me think I could do it,
- 30:09Speaker 1: and I did two, but it was it was the
- 30:11Speaker 1: same weight. So a lot of times your mind can
- 30:14Speaker 1: play tricks on you. So just go out there and
- 30:16Speaker 1: just just believe that you can do it and see
- 30:18Speaker 1: what happens.
- 30:19Speaker 2: They didn't tell you what those outside ones were. Foam.
- 30:21Speaker 2: All right, Tyler, let's move on. And oh, by the way,
- 30:24Speaker 2: what was the last name of the kid from Squalicum.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Yeah, Whitman.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Well, yeah, no, not related.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Related, No, I don't. I don't think they're related, although
- 30:36Speaker 1: they're spelled the same way. You see a lot of
- 30:38Speaker 1: Whitmen with the yeah with the age so and yeah,
- 30:43Speaker 1: I don't think they're related.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Adam Perry, Squalicum a new I guess height in the
- 30:50Speaker 2: triple jump in Tyler, sounds like it's a school record.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Huh yeah, forty four feet eleven inches. That is uh.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Now you start getting into the Walking County highs here.
- 31:00Speaker 1: I think there's some guys that have done some forty sevens.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Forty six is but this is this is getting up there.
- 31:05Speaker 1: And Adam Perry, who was a big time triple jumper
- 31:07Speaker 1: at Seahome recently and now the transfer. Now he's putting
- 31:11Speaker 1: up a school record distance for Squalicum. So he held
- 31:15Speaker 1: it last week I think at like forty three feet
- 31:18Speaker 1: and eleven and three quarters inches, and now he gets
- 31:21Speaker 1: another foot on top of that. Basically now he's at
- 31:23Speaker 1: forty four to eleven. A recent twriple jumper that was
- 31:27Speaker 1: really good that you might remember was Johnny Tweet of Bellingham.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I think I drafted him.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was a football player, receiver, corner
- 31:35Speaker 1: and u but he was an amazing triple jumper. And
- 31:38Speaker 1: I think he I think he did was over forty
- 31:40Speaker 1: five feet. So that's just a number you do not
- 31:43Speaker 1: see very often.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Yeah, he might have been a Cascadia Cougar. I think
- 31:46Speaker 2: he might have.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, but uh.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, that's it for boys. Let's talk girls where
- 31:52Speaker 2: we don't have to go very far to find another
- 31:53Speaker 2: Squalicum school record. Tyler to the one hundred meters.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Yeah, Addison Warner now twelve point four to six, so
- 32:00Speaker 1: that's obviously her personal best. She was at twelve point five.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Now she's at twelve point four to six the school
- 32:05Speaker 1: record for the squalkme storm. Very very impressive.
- 32:08Speaker 2: What the heck sins we're on the on the move here.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Let's let's talk school records for Lynden at the end
- 32:12Speaker 2: the eight hundred meters.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Yeah, Sloan Dixon of Lyndon two minutes twelve point nine
- 32:17Speaker 1: four seconds.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Uh that's that.
- 32:20Speaker 1: That's the best time in Walker County and the best
- 32:22Speaker 1: time in Linden's school history.
- 32:24Speaker 2: No more school records the rest of the way, so
- 32:26Speaker 2: everybody else disappoints. Sixteen hundred meters Tyler. We got a
- 32:29Speaker 2: new name in here.
- 32:30Speaker 1: Sophia Koch of Bellingham just under five minutes, four minutes
- 32:34Speaker 1: fifty seven point three to two seconds. Extremely impressive. Bellingham.
- 32:38Speaker 1: You know, Seom is known for those long distance runners,
- 32:41Speaker 1: but Bellingham is right there. They're always I mean, you
- 32:45Speaker 1: know you see the se home winning state titles in
- 32:46Speaker 1: cross country, you always see Bellingham in the top four,
- 32:50Speaker 1: you know, constantly. So there are no there are no
- 32:52Speaker 1: slouch at all, and uh so not surprised there to
- 32:56Speaker 1: see Bellingham runner at the top time.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Let's go to the one hundred meter hurdles where it's
- 33:02Speaker 2: the same face but it's a new time.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Yeah, Bellacanell of Seahome really really fast runner see or
- 33:08Speaker 1: two of sprints and relay stuff. But now in the
- 33:11Speaker 1: one hundred meter hurdles, fifteen flat. I think that's like
- 33:16Speaker 1: third best in school history, second or third. So she's
- 33:18Speaker 1: getting she's she keeps on improving her time there. I
- 33:22Speaker 1: think I think it might be seconds. I think there's
- 33:23Speaker 1: only one runner that's that's broken fifteen seconds at Sea
- 33:27Speaker 1: Home History.
- 33:28Speaker 2: We go to the four by one hundred relay where
- 33:31Speaker 2: we got to pack a Sea Home mariners here with
- 33:33Speaker 2: the top time.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Yeah, with Bellacanell like we mentioned earlier, but she's joined
- 33:38Speaker 1: with joined by Adriana Phillips, Katie Ifshevek and Madeline Hill.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Fifty point one point one is the time there, and yeah,
- 33:48Speaker 1: that's going to be a really really tough time to be.
- 33:50Speaker 1: You don't see a lot of four by one hundred
- 33:53Speaker 1: girls that are breaking fifty seconds. So it happens, but
- 33:57Speaker 1: it hasn't happened this year yet.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's moving. Yeah, that is definitely moving. We
- 34:03Speaker 2: got a new distance here in the long jump Tyler.
- 34:06Speaker 2: But again it's the same girl that's been there for
- 34:09Speaker 2: a little bit now.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Yeah, Adriana Phillips part of that four by one team
- 34:14Speaker 1: up to distance a little bit now. Sixteen feet eleven
- 34:17Speaker 1: point five inches in the long jump, so very very
- 34:22Speaker 1: good distance, and that's one of those where if you
- 34:24Speaker 1: hit one just right, she might be able to break
- 34:27Speaker 1: seventeen pretty quickly. We'll have to see, especially with the
- 34:30Speaker 1: weather getting nicer, that can kind of help a little bit.
- 34:33Speaker 1: And you know the repetition of doing it now for
- 34:36Speaker 1: a couple of months, the muscles are all kind of
- 34:39Speaker 1: set and kind of you get you get your timing right,
- 34:41Speaker 1: you get your steps right, and she might be able
- 34:43Speaker 1: to break off a long one pretty soon.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Boys and Girls Track and Field State Championships May twenty
- 34:49Speaker 2: ninth and through the thirty first let's see two B,
- 34:55Speaker 2: one A over at Zephyl Stadium at Eisenhower High School

- 36:13Speaker 2: go to the tryouts, it's backslash tryouts. All their tryouts
- 36:16Speaker 2: held at Benderfields in Linden. Let's take a look at
- 36:19Speaker 2: the standings here really quickly, Tyler, Seahome and Squalicum both
- 36:23Speaker 2: undefeated in conference play eleven oh and two, and then seaholmeans,
- 36:30Speaker 2: did I say see Hoome Squalicum? Yes, yeah, Okay, yeah,
- 36:33Speaker 2: Seahome undefeated overall twelve oh and two, Squalicum eleven one
- 36:36Speaker 2: and two. Uh, there's kind of a log jam right
- 36:40Speaker 2: in the middle. You got Bellingham, Lynden, Lynnen Christian and
- 36:44Speaker 2: Meridian six three and three, six four and two, six,
- 36:47Speaker 2: five and two, five, five and three. I mean, these
- 36:49Speaker 2: teams are just kind of all jam packed. And then Ferndale,
- 36:52Speaker 2: I don't think they've had another tie since I last
- 36:56Speaker 2: did a podcast two weeks ago. Uh, but they have
- 36:59Speaker 2: five draws. I guess we'll call it on the year
- 37:02Speaker 2: and then blame Nuksack Valley Mount Baker the Border rights
- 37:06Speaker 2: two and eleven in league, Nuksack value one and twelve
- 37:08Speaker 2: and Mount Baker owned thirteen. Tyler A lot going on here,
- 37:13Speaker 2: you know, kind of give me general thoughts on what
- 37:15Speaker 2: went on this week and kind of where we're looking.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought Meridian played really well and they're starting
- 37:22Speaker 1: to really kind of, you know, match up well with
- 37:26Speaker 1: Linda Krishna is kind of the top team in one
- 37:28Speaker 1: A in the in the area. Linden is a team
- 37:31Speaker 1: that can score a lot of goals, but then they
- 37:33Speaker 1: face Sea Home and they were blanked eight zero. That
- 37:36Speaker 1: one really jumped out to me. And it's just the
- 37:41Speaker 1: discrepancy there because it really showed Seaholme's dominance. Squalk them.
- 37:45Speaker 1: You know, although undefeated in conference play, they tend to
- 37:49Speaker 1: win a lot just kind of you know, to zero,
- 37:52Speaker 1: you know, nothing really flashy, and that's kind of their style.
- 37:56Speaker 1: See Holmes is a little bit more on the attack.
- 37:59Speaker 1: And so I'm really really curious to see when those
- 38:04Speaker 1: two teams meet up.
- 38:06Speaker 2: You're not gonna have to wait very long. Tyler Thursday
- 38:10Speaker 2: at Squalkum.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be astly cow. And we've been talking
- 38:15Speaker 1: about that for a while. We were kind of thinking that,
- 38:17Speaker 1: you know, and what do you know, it's the last
- 38:19Speaker 1: you know, I think it's the last conference game or
- 38:21Speaker 1: matchup of the year for both teams, and and that
- 38:25Speaker 1: one's gonna be an awesome one. And that's one where
- 38:27Speaker 1: I you know, you circle that one squalk them with
- 38:30Speaker 1: the one lost non league they played East Valley of
- 38:33Speaker 1: Yakama on the day coming back from spring break on Monday,
- 38:38Speaker 1: so it was last week and it was just kind
- 38:41Speaker 1: of you know, it's just kind of weird you go
- 38:44Speaker 1: there and play a game on a Monday. Maybe they
- 38:46Speaker 1: still had that Monday off. I know some schools had
- 38:49Speaker 1: the following Monday after spring break off, like as a
- 38:51Speaker 1: teacher workday, so maybe they just had an extra day there.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Kind of a unique scheduling thing there. But Squalkum is
- 39:00Speaker 1: squal comes very very there's just not a lot of
- 39:04Speaker 1: weakness that They did have one game where I think
- 39:06Speaker 1: they won one zero, and it was on a crazy
- 39:09Speaker 1: free kick from about the forty five yard line that
- 39:12Speaker 1: was perfectly placed. I think it was Isaac Grimes that
- 39:15Speaker 1: that kicked it, and then David Leslie ran in to
- 39:19Speaker 1: head it in and as he jumped up to head
- 39:21Speaker 1: it and the goalie jumped up, bay collided and it
- 39:24Speaker 1: was a huge hit, but the ball went in and
- 39:26Speaker 1: that was the one goal of the game, and it
- 39:30Speaker 1: was kind of a scary scene. I was watching it
- 39:33Speaker 1: on NFHS and so that was kind of like, Holy Cow.
- 39:38Speaker 1: I got to see Lennon Christian Ferndale in person. That
- 39:41Speaker 1: was really cool because I thought that'd be a really
- 39:42Speaker 1: good matchup. Evan Saxon scored early to get Frindala the lead,
- 39:46Speaker 1: and Elsie scored two to win the game. Hervis Howell
- 39:50Speaker 1: had a hat trick in the first half against Lakewood.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Very very good with headers. He's so he's so good
- 39:58Speaker 1: at that, and it's something about the timing and the
- 40:00Speaker 1: angles and doing getting that all. And he's a basketball
- 40:03Speaker 1: player too, so he's you know, he's got the leaping ability,
- 40:05Speaker 1: which is which can help. And yeah, so there's been
- 40:10Speaker 1: there's been a lot of things like that. I went
- 40:12Speaker 1: and saw Seaholm Blaine too, and I kind of thought, well,
- 40:14Speaker 1: it might be kind of a mismatch, but it was
- 40:16Speaker 1: very very even. I tell you what. Man Blaine's coach,
- 40:20Speaker 1: Geo Geo Casceda, he coaches his butts on, his butt
- 40:24Speaker 1: off man, he is, he is all over it. And
- 40:27Speaker 1: the Border Rights held their own for a while against
- 40:29Speaker 1: the really good Mariner teams. See Home won three to one.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Uh And I kind of went into it going this,
- 40:35Speaker 1: this might get ugly, but Blaine played great. Blaine's been
- 40:38Speaker 1: without their best player the whole year when Blake Kresky
- 40:41Speaker 1: had a knee injury during at the end of the
- 40:42Speaker 1: wrestling season. So that's really tough, but they've you know,
- 40:46Speaker 1: they've been fighting hard and they don't they don't get
- 40:49Speaker 1: beaten like too, you know, you know, you know what, man,
- 40:51Speaker 1: they don't get like rolled like they lost to Mount
- 40:53Speaker 1: Vernon one zero. Mount Vernon's a really good team. So
- 40:57Speaker 1: Blaine just had a tough luck year. But again it
- 41:00Speaker 1: kind of boils down to seal them, squalk them. That's
- 41:02Speaker 1: gonna be. That's gonna be pretty big. Belly and two
- 41:06Speaker 1: had a good week. They had a game winning goal late,
- 41:08Speaker 1: like the end of the end of the game, like
- 41:10Speaker 1: when there was two minutes left, and they had another
- 41:12Speaker 1: one where they tied the game against Burlington with like
- 41:16Speaker 1: less than a minute to go. So they've had some
- 41:18Speaker 1: excitement this year too. And you don't want to count
- 41:21Speaker 1: out the BayHawks because we've kind of seen them what
- 41:24Speaker 1: they can do when they go on a run in
- 41:26Speaker 1: the postseason. So although although it's a lot of new
- 41:28Speaker 1: varsity guys, there's still some pretty good athletes on that team.
- 41:31Speaker 2: The district tournaments are coming up here real soon, Tyler.
- 41:35Speaker 2: The two A boys soccer tournament starts here on May sixth,
- 41:40Speaker 2: so next Tuesday, not this one, technically tomorrow. If you're
- 41:44Speaker 2: listening to this podcast today, it comes out, yeah, and
- 41:47Speaker 2: that's just an eight to nine seeded game. And then
- 41:50Speaker 2: on the eighth is when it really gets going with
- 41:53Speaker 2: the the one seeds playing all the way through the
- 41:57Speaker 2: winner of the eight to nine game. So lots stuff
- 42:00Speaker 2: going on there. The semi finals are going to be
- 42:02Speaker 2: at Harrington Field at Western Washington, and then the championship
- 42:06Speaker 2: at Civic Stadium, so a lot of action gonna be
- 42:09Speaker 2: going on inside the county over the next couple of
- 42:12Speaker 2: weeks there For that. The one A tournament, Tyler actually
- 42:14Speaker 2: starts next Saturday, where the four and five seed. Now
- 42:19Speaker 2: this is where it gets actually rather interesting, Tyler, because
- 42:21Speaker 2: the three four and five seed are two and eleven
- 42:24Speaker 2: in Conference one and twelve and zero to thirteen with Blaine,
- 42:27Speaker 2: that Nuksack Valley and Mount Baker, so all three of them,
- 42:30Speaker 2: So I think to myself, well, are they even playing
- 42:32Speaker 2: each other? Is there a way that something's gonna happen here?
- 42:35Speaker 2: Probably not. Now the interesting thing, Tyler, Nukzack Valley looks
- 42:41Speaker 2: as though they will have to play in that Saturday
- 42:43Speaker 2: game on May third, Nuksack Valley actually plays a game
- 42:47Speaker 2: on Thursday, and they have a game scheduled here for
- 42:50Speaker 2: Friday as well. This is a non conference, Yeah, non
- 42:55Speaker 2: conference against Kings, it says, so h, I don't know
- 42:58Speaker 2: if they're gonna think about rees or you know, taking
- 43:00Speaker 2: that one off the schedule or what. Yeah, I can't
- 43:04Speaker 2: imagine they would want to play Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah,
- 43:08Speaker 2: not be a great way to go in, Yeah, exactly.
- 43:11Speaker 2: So not really sure what's gonna happen there, but that
- 43:13Speaker 2: tournament does start on the third, May third, and then
- 43:18Speaker 2: the winner of the four or five game will move
- 43:20Speaker 2: on to play the top seed, which looks as though
- 43:23Speaker 2: it's gonna be Lennon Christian, right or was.
- 43:25Speaker 1: It, Yeah, it's gonna be it's the Lenna Krishner Meridian.
- 43:28Speaker 1: I mean of strong surge this past week, so they are,
- 43:32Speaker 1: They're right there. It ken of depends on what happens
- 43:34Speaker 1: this week. Are all these games being played at Blaine, Yes,
- 43:39Speaker 1: Blaine High School fall they have been the last few years.
- 43:42Speaker 2: So okay, And the other two teams, Lynn Christian plays
- 43:47Speaker 2: Lyndon and Burlington Edison this week, Meridian they play Squalicum
- 43:51Speaker 2: and Anna Chordus. So that's what those two teams have left.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Either way, both those teams are are chewing. They're they're
- 43:58Speaker 2: in for the one in the two seed. It's just
- 44:00Speaker 2: a matter of which ones which kind of at this
- 44:02Speaker 2: point it seems so yeah. Yeah, and then they won't
- 44:04Speaker 2: play until May seventh, so that would be Wednesday. So
- 44:08Speaker 2: so yeah, we're getting right into it here with boys
- 44:10Speaker 2: soccer and then the boys. The boys soccer State tournament
- 44:16Speaker 2: will take place on the on the thirtieth and thirty
- 44:21Speaker 2: first and those locations one A and two A at
- 44:25Speaker 2: Federal Away. Three A they will play at Sparks stated
- 44:27Speaker 2: in Puyllup. So a lot of action going on there.
- 44:30Speaker 2: We're getting right into the heart of it, Tyler. I
- 44:32Speaker 2: mean we're we're we're down to it, if you will.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Let's talk goal leaders in the county, Tyler. And we
- 44:38Speaker 2: have about nine hundred guys tied with six goals right now.
- 44:42Speaker 2: H it's actually one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
- 44:46Speaker 2: guys tied oddly enough for seventh place with six goals. Yeah.
- 44:51Speaker 1: Carson Brethauer of Bellingham, Dimi Yuriyev of Blaine, Isaac Graham's
- 44:54Speaker 1: a Squalic, Victor Hughurroka, Lyndon Skyler Rove, Meridian, Sebastian Cruiz
- 44:59Speaker 1: of Squad and Liam Liam Shuemaker of See Hom. I
- 45:02Speaker 1: believe all of them scored goals this past week, so
- 45:04Speaker 1: they're all kind of keeping pace with they with with
- 45:08Speaker 1: each other. You know, a few of these guys, Brett Auer,
- 45:11Speaker 1: yuriev Row, they're kind of the main guys for their
- 45:15Speaker 1: team as far as scoring a lot of these other guys,
- 45:18Speaker 1: they they're you know, uh, they're kind of the secondary guys.
- 45:23Speaker 1: So it's it's really interesting to see kind of who
- 45:25Speaker 1: surges and and but a lot of these guys now
- 45:28Speaker 1: with six goals on.
- 45:29Speaker 2: The year, now we've got five guys tied for second place,
- 45:32Speaker 2: two from London, two from Sea Home and one from
- 45:35Speaker 2: one one from squal Gum Tyler.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I said earlier, Linnon can score a
- 45:39Speaker 1: lot of goals. Marcus Kanaan and Eddie Bersano, both of Linden,
- 45:42Speaker 1: have eight goals. Rudy Zurcher and Julian Herring of Sea
- 45:46Speaker 1: Home both have eight goals, and then Cody McCauley of
- 45:48Speaker 1: Squalum has eight. So yeah, it's uh, it's pretty impressive.
- 45:53Speaker 1: You see, like you see Sea Home and you see
- 45:55Speaker 1: Lyndon having each and each having three guys on this
- 45:59Speaker 1: on this quote unquote top ten list, although it goes
- 46:02Speaker 1: to thirteen players, but very very very impressive.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's actually pretty crazy when you look
- 46:08Speaker 2: at it, because second through tenth technically is six goals
- 46:12Speaker 2: and eight goals that's it. Then you got to score
- 46:16Speaker 2: nine more to reach Harvest Howell, who's in first place, Tyler.
- 46:20Speaker 1: Yeah, seventeen goals for Harvest Howell only had three goals
- 46:24Speaker 1: this week, did them all, you know, against Lakewood and
- 46:28Speaker 1: but you know, I mean, it's just crazy. He's averaging
- 46:32Speaker 1: more than a goal of game. Just a sophomore, one
- 46:36Speaker 1: of those really gifted kids that is just just natural,
- 46:41Speaker 1: you know, with with with the ball, and it's just
- 46:45Speaker 1: a big time score. Now. The Linden Christian record for
- 46:49Speaker 1: goals in the season is forty two what bye by
- 46:53Speaker 1: Chadkoy of Lindon Christian. And I remember Chad Koy is
- 46:56Speaker 1: a year ahead of me. He was an amazing point
- 46:59Speaker 1: guard on the basket team. And I wasn't following soccer
- 47:01Speaker 1: that much back then, but I do remember him being
- 47:04Speaker 1: like the MVP of the old Walking County League and
- 47:07Speaker 1: stuff like that. So been in contact with the with
- 47:10Speaker 1: coach Fakima out at Lyndon Christian and and yeah, so
- 47:15Speaker 1: forty two that is uh, that's a that's a really
- 47:19Speaker 1: tough number to hit. I do not know what the
- 47:22Speaker 1: Walkham County record is. I remember, I know Seim had
- 47:25Speaker 1: a guy in the early nineties. I think it was
- 47:26Speaker 1: Kurt Swanson who was a great, great player. I think
- 47:29Speaker 1: he may have played professionally. So there's been there's been
- 47:34Speaker 1: some good soccer players. And I do not know what
- 47:36Speaker 1: the Walkham County record is for goals in a season.
- 47:38Speaker 1: But the Harvest Howell again just a sophomore, and we'll
- 47:43Speaker 1: just kind of see how far this thing goes, you.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Know, Tyler, you and I talked about it with with
- 47:50Speaker 2: Andre Watson. You know, at one point, rather at one
- 47:53Speaker 2: point we're going, ah, he's not gonna get you know,
- 47:55Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. With all
- 47:57Speaker 2: the with all due respect to Harvest Tall, he ain't
- 47:59Speaker 2: getting forty two. That's I mean forty two, Tyler, Are
- 48:03Speaker 2: you kidding me?
- 48:04Speaker 1: Yeah? It's a lot.
- 48:06Speaker 2: I mean he'd have to have what like twenty seven
- 48:08Speaker 2: more goals or something to like they're twenty five to
- 48:13Speaker 2: forty two. I mean that is not football. Holy cow,
- 48:19Speaker 2: all right, Tyler. North County Alliance FC. They sponsor the
- 48:22Speaker 2: player of the week, which is no surprise because they
- 48:24Speaker 2: sponsor everything having to do with soccer here on Wakam Preps.
- 48:27Speaker 2: So who is the North County Alliance FC Player of
- 48:31Speaker 2: the week.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I went with Liam Schumacher Sea Home. He had
- 48:34Speaker 1: four goals, but then he had like, I think four
- 48:36Speaker 1: or five assists. I mean, he just he was in
- 48:39Speaker 1: on so much. The second week in a row, it's
- 48:40Speaker 1: gone to a Sea Him player. The Mariners are just
- 48:44Speaker 1: they're just loaded and when you watch them play, they
- 48:48Speaker 1: live on you know, the opponent's side of the field
- 48:52Speaker 1: as far as you know, possession wise. They play so
- 48:57Speaker 1: well as a team. The spacing is fantastic, the communications great.
- 49:01Speaker 1: I said it last year when I saw them, is
- 49:03Speaker 1: that it looked like a video game, Like they're all
- 49:07Speaker 1: kind of running in the right spot, you know, like
- 49:09Speaker 1: it just looks so yeah, it looks like Bellevue running
- 49:13Speaker 1: the wing tea. You know, it just looks so pret yeah,
- 49:17Speaker 1: and so it's it's just, uh, it's really fun to see.
- 49:21Speaker 1: But I think this year they've even I think the
- 49:23Speaker 1: big notice. The big thing I've noticed from them this
- 49:26Speaker 1: year to last year is the overall team speed is
- 49:29Speaker 1: even better. And that's I mean last year they were
- 49:32Speaker 1: I think they got second in state. You know, they
- 49:34Speaker 1: got all the way the state championship game, and so
- 49:36Speaker 1: I mean it's this is a really really good team,
- 49:40Speaker 1: and so I am excited to see what they can do.
- 49:44Speaker 1: But Liam Schumacher, awesome, awesome week. That this week second
- 49:48Speaker 1: week in a row for Steil Mariner to be named
- 49:50Speaker 1: the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week.
- 49:53Speaker 2: And they did get to the state championship game last year, Tyler,
- 49:56Speaker 2: before losing to Franklin Pierce in a shootout.
- 50:00Speaker 1: Yes, I was watching that in my hotel room in
- 50:03Speaker 1: in Richland. That's crazy.
- 50:06Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that is it for boys soccer again.

- 50:43Speaker 2: The Acceleration Driving School in Linden, Thailand three six zero
- 50:48Speaker 2: seven four six four five six seven.
- 50:51Speaker 1: Uh.
- 50:52Speaker 2: You don't need driving school at the moment, Tyler, but
- 50:53Speaker 2: I bet there's a lot of kids in high school
- 50:55Speaker 2: that need driving school before they can get their license.
- 50:58Speaker 2: So let's talk fast pitch here, Tyler, and we will
- 51:02Speaker 2: start with Meridian, Bellingham and Squalicum. Two and thirteen for
- 51:05Speaker 2: Meridian and then Bellingham and Squalcum. They are both looking
- 51:09Speaker 2: for their first wins of the year.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Yeah, Meridian played four games this week, just kind of
- 51:13Speaker 1: one of those things where maybe a makeup and so
- 51:17Speaker 1: they had to turn around and play a bunch this
- 51:19Speaker 1: week and they went winless. It's it's been it's been tough.
- 51:23Speaker 1: I've noticed that recently they've been without their shortstop, Chloe Heinrich,
- 51:28Speaker 1: their leadoff hitter, one of their best hitters. I don't
- 51:30Speaker 1: know if she's injured. So you know, when you're struggling
- 51:33Speaker 1: like that and you're and then you lose one of
- 51:35Speaker 1: your top players, that's really really tough. Bellingham. They didn't
- 51:39Speaker 1: even get to play this week. They had a game
- 51:41Speaker 1: lined up I can't remember who was against I want
- 51:43Speaker 1: to say in a Cordis, and they were all set
- 51:48Speaker 1: to go, but they only had nine players available and
- 51:52Speaker 1: they show up and then one of their players gets
- 51:54Speaker 1: hurt in the pregame. Oh, so they had to forfeit.
- 51:58Speaker 1: And they've had to and so, and they've rescheduled the
- 52:00Speaker 1: other two games they had this week. So this upcoming
- 52:03Speaker 1: week they are loaded. I think they've got it, you
- 52:05Speaker 1: know that, to play.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Out the rest of their you're talking about Bellingham, Yeah, Bellingham.
- 52:12Speaker 2: They have a game Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. This
- 52:17Speaker 2: week they've got Oddly enough, Tyler Bellingham and Squalicum they
- 52:21Speaker 2: do play on Tuesday at six thirty pm at Squalicum
- 52:25Speaker 2: High School, and then I believe the one you're talking
- 52:26Speaker 2: about is this one here Anna Chordis that is now
- 52:29Speaker 2: scheduled for four point thirty on Wednesday, and then they
- 52:31Speaker 2: play Meridian at five pm on Thursday, and then they
- 52:35Speaker 2: get Lakewood on Friday. So a couple of games at Bellingham.
- 52:39Speaker 2: I mean they could be in a couple of these games.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Is yeah, yeah, I I The big thing is I
- 52:44Speaker 1: just hope they have enough bodies. I mean, that's you know,
- 52:47Speaker 1: when I've gone to a few of their games, they
- 52:48Speaker 1: always have like one or two players on the bench.
- 52:50Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, and they only had nine
- 52:52Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, there's an injury to
- 52:54Speaker 1: one of their better players. I'm not gonna reveal who
- 52:56Speaker 1: it was, but it's it's uh, that's that's up. I
- 53:00Speaker 1: just hope they can get together and finish the season
- 53:02Speaker 1: because I really like to see them play. Squalicum had
- 53:05Speaker 1: a tough week. They played some big time teams. They
- 53:07Speaker 1: played Nick Zak. I watched that one. They did have
- 53:11Speaker 1: a good inning though, where they turned around and scored
- 53:13Speaker 1: three They scored three runs in an inning. But uh,
- 53:16Speaker 1: it's just it's just a matter of pitching and you
- 53:18Speaker 1: just can't walk batters and uh. And then they played Baker.
- 53:22Speaker 1: Baker's a strong offensive team that's always tough. And then
- 53:25Speaker 1: they played they played the defending state champions, c Joe
- 53:29Speaker 1: Woollie Cubs. I think that Sigeo Woolie may have put
- 53:33Speaker 1: their JV team out there. I'm not one hundred percent sure.
- 53:37Speaker 1: I still counted them as as as like the stats,
- 53:41Speaker 1: I counted those anyways because I wasn't one hundred percent sure.
- 53:45Speaker 1: But uh, the segrow won that one twenty seven to seven.
- 53:49Speaker 1: But squalic them squalk them, belling him again on Tuesday
- 53:52Speaker 1: that that has to be a pretty close game. Bellingham
- 53:56Speaker 1: won it last year. I think I would give the
- 53:59Speaker 1: edge to score all of them this year, just from
- 54:03Speaker 1: more How do I put this? I think they have
- 54:05Speaker 1: more I don't want to say more high end players,
- 54:11Speaker 1: but I think they have more of them, if you
- 54:13Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I think if you can
- 54:15Speaker 1: they can get together a good inning, you know, with
- 54:17Speaker 1: Gabby Gearhart and Layla Standford and Addie Harbor and and
- 54:21Speaker 1: Kerman Rodriguez and Keisha McLeod and like you get a
- 54:24Speaker 1: lot of them to have Keeley Melling, you get a
- 54:26Speaker 1: lot of them to have good at bats back to back.
- 54:28Speaker 1: You can break out a really good inning. And Bellingham
- 54:32Speaker 1: has some good players too, they just don't have as
- 54:34Speaker 1: many of them. Sammy Stormo can play with anybody, Eden Johnson,
- 54:40Speaker 1: you know, Cassie Berwick. There's some good there's some good
- 54:43Speaker 1: players in that in that lineup. But I just think
- 54:47Speaker 1: Squalokum has more of them, and so they might get
- 54:49Speaker 1: them in that revenge game this upcoming week. We'll have
- 54:52Speaker 1: to see.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Let's talk Ferndale, Blaine and Seaholme Tyler. Ferndale is seven
- 54:58Speaker 2: and nine overall. Blaine for and seven and see Home
- 55:01Speaker 2: four and ten.
- 55:02Speaker 1: Yeah, see Home at a rough week. They've been down
- 55:04Speaker 1: a few players too. Just sent to Lewis Rebecca Peterson.
- 55:07Speaker 1: These are some top top players that made the top
- 55:09Speaker 1: fifty list last year that they were really heavily relying
- 55:12Speaker 1: on this year. I have not seen them in the
- 55:14Speaker 1: lineup last couple of games. So that's been a really
- 55:16Speaker 1: big time struggle for the Mariners. And defense has been
- 55:21Speaker 1: a big, big problem recently. You know, committing six seven
- 55:24Speaker 1: ers a game, that's that's really gonna be hard to
- 55:26Speaker 1: get it done when that happens. Blaine as well had
- 55:30Speaker 1: you know, Blaine did beat Meridian early in the week,
- 55:32Speaker 1: but then they got shut down by Lyndon and Mount
- 55:35Speaker 1: Baker later in the week, and that's you know, that's
- 55:38Speaker 1: just the way it goes when you see those teams
- 55:39Speaker 1: on the schedule and Ferndale. Ferndale had a unique week
- 55:43Speaker 1: because they lost early, like they lost the first two.
- 55:46Speaker 1: They got shut out by Niksack Valley eleven to zero.
- 55:48Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna be a really close game.
- 55:51Speaker 1: And then they hosted or they went down and played
- 55:53Speaker 1: Mount Vernon, who's undefeated in conference play, and beat them
- 55:58Speaker 1: fourteen to eleven. So that was I don't know, I
- 56:01Speaker 1: don't that could be the biggest shocker of the year
- 56:03Speaker 1: so far as far as just regular season schedule goes.
- 56:06Speaker 1: They just played a heck of a game. You know.
- 56:08Speaker 1: They had three home runs in that game. They were
- 56:10Speaker 1: up early, then they got down, then they had a
- 56:13Speaker 1: big seventh inning to come back, and then they held them.
- 56:15Speaker 1: And that was when I saw that happen. I was like, WHOA,
- 56:19Speaker 1: Ferndale beat Mount Vernon and that's huge because I think,
- 56:24Speaker 1: and you might know better than I, but I think
- 56:26Speaker 1: Mount Vernon is still three A. I don't think they've
- 56:28Speaker 1: gone up to four A. Yeah, they have in the past,
- 56:32Speaker 1: but I think there's still three A. So Ferndale beating
- 56:35Speaker 1: them that could play a big you know, that could
- 56:39Speaker 1: be a big sway as far as Ferndale getting into districts,
- 56:42Speaker 1: So I know that's been a problem, is just them
- 56:44Speaker 1: getting into districts. Recently, so I think that that could
- 56:47Speaker 1: be a huge help see how that all turns out.
- 56:50Speaker 1: But that that's a huge feather in their cat because
- 56:53Speaker 1: you know, the Golden Eagles have been playing great this
- 56:55Speaker 1: year and it just had some tough luck losses and
- 56:59Speaker 1: here and there, and sometimes they just kind of fall apart.
- 57:01Speaker 1: And then they had a game like that where they
- 57:03Speaker 1: beat Mount Vernon, who has beaten every other Walking County
- 57:07Speaker 1: team that they faced, so so good job by the
- 57:09Speaker 1: Golden Eagles.
- 57:12Speaker 2: Mount Vernon. Tyler is one of those schools that should
- 57:14Speaker 2: be four A but they get down to three A
- 57:16Speaker 2: because of the free and reduced so they actually have
- 57:19Speaker 2: fourteen and eighty one students.
- 57:23Speaker 1: Yeah they I knew, I knew they were on the
- 57:25Speaker 1: CUSP they were. Yeah.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Yeah, they are the largest three A school in the
- 57:30Speaker 2: state and the cutoff is twelve hundred and their their
- 57:34Speaker 2: number gets knocked down to eleven and ninety nine point
- 57:39Speaker 2: eight one, so they are I don't know how you
- 57:43Speaker 2: get to point eight one, but yeah, they are nine
- 57:47Speaker 2: point nineteen of a of a person away from being
- 57:51Speaker 2: four A is what they are. So Tyler, we've got
- 57:56Speaker 2: the top teams here, We've got Linden We've got Linden Christian,
- 57:59Speaker 2: knok Sack Valley and Mount Baker. Linden Linden Christian both
- 58:03Speaker 2: at nine and six overall, and then Nukzack Valley twelve
- 58:07Speaker 2: and four, Mount Baker ten and seven.
- 58:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I got some big matchups coming up here. But
- 58:13Speaker 1: during the week Linden played Mount Baker and Lindon got
- 58:17Speaker 1: them twelve to four. Lyndon also got a no hitter
- 58:21Speaker 1: against Blaine and then they lost a really close one
- 58:24Speaker 1: to bronnstonnis And four to two, and so that Linden
- 58:27Speaker 1: had a pretty darn good week. Lyndon Christian and Nukxack
- 58:30Speaker 1: Valley both went three and oh this week, really starting
- 58:33Speaker 1: to separate themselves. And then Mount Baker I brought up,
- 58:36Speaker 1: had the loss against Linden, they beat Squalk and then
- 58:38Speaker 1: they beat Blaine. So the big matchup will be this Tuesday,
- 58:41Speaker 1: Nuxack Valley at Mount Baker. That's gonna be huge. Nukxack
- 58:46Speaker 1: Valley has that game up on Mount Baker right now
- 58:48Speaker 1: because they beat Lakewood and Mount Baker didn't, So that's
- 58:51Speaker 1: kind of the big thing. It's gonna and it's gonna
- 58:54Speaker 1: be a big, big deal because of the way the
- 58:56Speaker 1: one A districts is this year, if you're the top
- 59:00Speaker 1: two seeds, you automatically go down to that to that
- 59:04Speaker 1: glue with District four. If you're a three, four, five,
- 59:07Speaker 1: then you have to play your way into that, so
- 59:11Speaker 1: you don't want to. So you know this is Lynnen
- 59:13Speaker 1: Christian is probably gonna be the one. So it's all
- 59:15Speaker 1: comes down to Knucksack Valley Mount Baker as who's gonna
- 59:18Speaker 1: be the two, who's gonna be the three, and probably
- 59:20Speaker 1: gonna come down to Tuesday's game, which will be in Deeming,
- 59:23Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a big, big game. And uh,
- 59:28Speaker 1: I think the one, Like I think there was one
- 59:30Speaker 1: cancelation earlier in the year where Nucksack Valley had to
- 59:32Speaker 1: cancel against Segar Woolley because of weather. Cager Woollye of
- 59:35Speaker 1: course is loaded, so that technically will probably end up
- 59:39Speaker 1: being a loss for for Knucksack Valley. So that really
- 59:42Speaker 1: just is that one game ahead of Mount Baker and
- 59:45Speaker 1: it's because of that Lakewood game that each team played.
- 59:47Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a that's gonna be a big one.
- 59:51Speaker 1: But basically you win and you're in going down in
- 59:54Speaker 1: the in the glue with District four. If you lose,
- 59:56Speaker 1: then you got to play your way into it. So
- 59:59Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a big one. Like I said,
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: Lena Christian Knuksac Valley both going undefeated during the week,
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: so really really starting to play well. Mount Baker going
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: to and one and Lyndon going to and one.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler, I was looking at the at the district
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: tournament stuff, and as you mentioned, the top two automatically
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: go down, and then the five and the four will
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: play each other on May tenth at Benderfield's the winner
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: that'll be an eleven am game. The winner will play
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: the number three that will be a one pm game,
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: so right afterwards. And then on the fourteenth, Fort Borst Park,
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: which I don't know where that one is. I think
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: that's the one that's right along the freeway, right by
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: the Country Cousins, which is a great food by the way,
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: of course, it had to be food with me. Right.
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: Let's see here, Yes it is okay, so Fort Borsch Park.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: It's right by the actual by the by the what's
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: it called by the football stadium where Centralia plays football,
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: which is not at the high school, but it's right there,
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: right off the freeway. Right by the Nike outlets, by
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: the way, or Nike Clearance store excuse me, which is
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: better than the outlets, better prices. You can get a
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: pair of shorts in there Tyler for like ten bucks.
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. But yeah, so it's a very interesting schedule
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: because May fourteenth is a Wednesday, and there are games
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: starting at ten am for some reason. I mean, yeah,
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: I mean, this is one of the craziest state tournaments
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: or excuse me, district tournaments I've ever seen, because.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: If you are.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: Seed the five through the twelve seed in this tournament,
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: you could actually play three games on that day. Yeah,
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: I mean, it's unbelievable. It's honestly, it's crazy to look at.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: But if you survive any of that, you come back
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: on the seventeenth, which is Saturday. Why they wouldn't just
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: do Friday Saturday, I have no idea. You would think
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: you would just do Friday Saturday. But I don't know.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: Maybe there's some stuff going on at Fort Bors Park.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: I don't know. But yeah, so that's coming up the
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: fourteenth and the seventeenth, and then the two a district
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: fast pitch tournament will be at Bender Fields. Also this year,
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: Tyler not down there in cetral Woolli, which I think
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: has kind of been the thing. Hasn't it been down
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: at seagral Wollie for a loile?
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Yeah? It has, it has. This is this is a big,
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: big change this year.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: Yeah, and the playing game which is the eighth and
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: the nine seed that will be on May tenth. That'll
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: be at the seed at the eighth seed, so whoever
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: is hosting that one. But then the fourteenth, the sixteenth,
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: and the seventeenth will have games at Bender Fields. Those
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: games will be four pm and you know, like right
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: afterwards type thing. But yeah, so you know you're not
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: having to leave school at six am to try to
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: get down to Fort Bors Park on a Wednesday. But yeah,
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: that's coming on.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: The great thing about that one day is that instead
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: of only one team from Walking County getting the state, yes,
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: there's a pot now there's a possibility that nobody will
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: go to state.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: Yes, but it's also three exactly.
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: So the goal, the overall goal with this is you're
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: getting the best twelve into the state tournament. And District
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: four is loaded. They have really good fast pitch teams.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: So what's cool about it is that it's gonna whoever
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: get out of that and go to state tournament. You
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: kind of just played in a pretty good state tournament,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: you know, like you're gonna have that feel. You're on
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: the road, you're playing back to back, you're playing against
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: good competition, so I think you're gonna be pretty battle
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: tested from there going into it. So I'm that's kind
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: of a cool thing. I part of me really wants
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: to go down there on that Wednesday. I think it'd
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: be really cool. Still got to figure out scheduling and
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff and what's what's gonna be happening,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: but uh uh yeah, I I I'm really excited because
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: and I haven't booked my trip to Richland yet, which
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: I always do earlier at than than than this point,
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: but because there's no guarantee, I'm like, I have to
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: really but I feel really strongly about our teams up here.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: Somebody has to make.
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: It out, so you know, I should probably just just
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: book it and yeah, well we'll see, it's gonna be
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. There's uh, there's there's nothing like
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: the fast pitch tournaments because it's just NonStop action, such
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: a fast game and really exciting to watch.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Yeah, in that one A district down there in Centralia,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: five teams will come out of that headed to the
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: state tournament. Just kind of talking some some teams here, Tyler, Uh,
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: teams that will be there playing against the teams from
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: Walkame County. You've got Seaton Catholic and Montesano who are
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: two and three in the w I A A r P. I. Now, yeah,
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: you take that for what it is, right, but uh,
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: they are two and three. Rochester is seven. I think
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: Casking Christian is not part of that. I think maybe
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: they are. I can't remember if they are. They are ten.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: But then you've got Lynn Christian's at eleven, k Nook
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Sacks at twelve, Mount Baker's at eighteen, so in Less
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Center is at twenty one. So you've got some real
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: real good competition that would be I mean, that sounds
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: like it's going to be exciting. You might have to
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: book two hotel rooms to either one for the fourteenth
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: one for the seventeenth.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: I know, it's like it's like, oh man, there's a
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: lot like I have to really sit back and just
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: kind of analyze the whole thing and look at all
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: the sports. But when I heard they were going down
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: there and playing there. I was like, oh, man, I
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: want to I want to be there for least some
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: of it, you know. And I don't know, we'll have
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: to see.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: It's going to be. It's gonna be a lot going
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: on in May.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: It's and I'm kind of like not that I'm like
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: running on empty, but it's like I can see the
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: home stretch where I can relax a little bit the summer,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: you know, So I just like looking at it going
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: come on, just just just just just make it. I'm
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: just on pure adrenaline at this point. So, uh, it's
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: pretty cool.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Well, you know, Tyler, maybe what we do is maybe, uh,
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: I mean the seventeenth that Saturday, if we end up
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: with a couple of Walkham County teams in the semi
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: finals or something down there in Centralia. I mean, because
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: you got the seventeenth, you've got the semi finals, the finals,
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: and the two semi final teams. If if teams lose there,
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: then they move down and they play in a couple
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: other games, So it could be Yeah, it could be
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: some serious action down there. And it starts at noon,
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: so you wouldn't have to get up all that early
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: to get down to uh to get down to Centralia,
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: although it'd be probably about a three hour drive for
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: you maybe if maybe a four because.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, right as of now, with no traffic, Yeah,
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: it'd be two hours and fifty one minutes.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Yeahs. I say it's about an hour and a half
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: north of me, and it's about an hour and a
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: half Southamy. It's kind of it's kind where it is. So,
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: but yeah, country cousin, Tyler, if anybody's headed down, that
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: is some of the best food. Let me tell you,
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: they've got some good Tyler. They're big thing. It's it's
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: just a small, little, like you know, small town restaurant
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: type thing. They've got pot roast, and I don't know
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: if they serve it every day or what, but their
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: pot roast is unbelievable. And I've had the like the
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: open faced turkey sandwich or something you know, with like
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: mashed potatoes. Oh all right, Oh my goodness, Tyler. It's
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: it's too late for me to eat again today, so
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: like I can't, I should, I should? I gotta stop,
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: I gotta stop. Yeah, all right, Tyler, let's talk stat leaders.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: That is brought to you by Manna Insurance their website
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: Manna Insurance Group dot com. It's m A N n
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: A Insurance Group dot com. Uh, let's jam through these, Tyler,
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: how about we start with hits, doubles and triples.
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: Yeah, Annalie Cohen and Mount Baker thirty one hits on
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: the season. She's been leading the last couple of weeks.
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: Or teammate Carl Welters of Mount Baker has ten doubles.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: Now it's been a tie with a lot of different mountaineers.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: She breaks out of head. She had three of them
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: this week now with ten on the year. And Sarah
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: Kruzi che Siel I'm still leading with five triples, although
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Melanie Anderson and Elenda Dykstra nipping at her heels, each
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: have four.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: How about home runs, batting average and runs batted in?
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Yeah, Gracie Zender still with nine home runs on the year.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: That is just crazy. Some teams do not have nine.
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: Shyley Daniels of Blaine is batting six thirteen. She had this,
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: she had the high a couple of weeks ago. Then
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: Mason Pulls her teammate took it. Now she grabbed it back,
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: and then Gracie Zender of Mount Baker now with forty
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: RBIs on the year, just huge number, and he got
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: really good batters ahead of her, and then she knocks
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: him in.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Yeah. Well heck a quarter of them come from home runs. Yeah,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: I mean from herself on the home run, right. How
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: about runs, stolen bases and walks.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Yeah, Andalie Cohne has scorn scored thirty four runs and
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: she also has the tie for the lead and stolen
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: bases with eighteen with her friend Campbell de Young of Lyndon.
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: I know they're close friends. That's that's pretty cool. And
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: then and Gracie Zender leadings leads and walks with seventeen walks,
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: so kind of giving you a little Barry Bonds this
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: year where they're leading in walks and home runs. I think,
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: you know, Jim Tomy, you know Frank Thomas. There are
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: certain guys that have done that over the years, you know,
- 1:09:29Speaker 1: and it's there. They are selective and they know what
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: kind of pitch they like, so that kind of goes
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: right with Gracy Zender.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: There, Yeah, certain guys, none of them on the Mariners though. Now, Tyler,
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: I'm looking over these these stats and I'm just noticing
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: that there are a lot of girls high school. What
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: the heck is going on here? I mean, they're just
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: popping up all over the place here. This is incredible,
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: especially Gracie Zender, who is just she's in like four
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: or five different categories, it seems like. But let's go
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: slugging percentage on base percentage and ops.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of bigger high school. For my birthday school, yeah,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Laura got me, you know, miss Walking preps. She got
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: me some really cool, you know, funky shirts because you know,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: I thought maybe i'd bring some color to my wardrobe.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: And one of them just has a bunch of lemons
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: on it, So a lot of lemons. Yeah, so I
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: gotta make sure I wear that out to again. I
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: did wear it out when I went and saw Mount
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: Baker and Blayine play, but I was only there for
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: about two innings, so I didn't get to chat with
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: coach LEPs, so he didn't I don't know if he
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: saw me with the with the lemon shirt. But and
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: then of course Laura got the matching headband to go
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: with it.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: So it looked like the karate kid out there. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: So Gracie's in her leads and slugging percentage at one,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: three d and fourteen, which is that's a crazy number
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: for ops. She just has that in slugging alone. On
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: base percentage Shylee Daniels seven to fourteen, she gets on
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: base seventy one percent of the time, she gets on
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: base five out of seven times.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: Good.
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: And then Gracie Zender ops on base plus slugging outrageous
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: number of two thousand and twenty.
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: Six almost the year.
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: Let's go to the pitching stats, Tyler, and we will
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: start with wins and innings pitched.
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: Yeah, both Carl Welters and Mount Baker ten wins now
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: on the year just a sophomore and innings pitch seventy
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: eight innings pitch. So Mount Baker probably more than any
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: of their team has like four or five girls that
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: can pitch, but they've really relied heavily on Welters, who
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: was a big part of their state tournament run last year.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: As a freshman, she started in left field, but she
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: would pitch a little bit here and there, but she
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: knew coming into the season she would be the ace.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: She has taken it over and she's putting up some
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: pretty good numbers.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned that she has so many So
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: there's so many different girls that could pitch for malt
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: Baker when you consider the fact that Welters has all
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: ten wins.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: Yeah them she does. Yeah, yeah, when it comes don't
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: do it. She's the one that gets the job done.
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: And seventy eight innings pitches. I mean, that's just incredible.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: But how about strikeouts and e er.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Yeah, Sarah Kruziz still leading in strikeouts, but she is beginning.
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: It's really close. She has one hundred and ten strikeouts
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: on the year. But Klie Rammerman of Rammerman from Lindon
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: is really really close. She had an amazing week where
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: she I'm trying to think if she even gave up
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Oh no, she did give up four earned runs against
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: Mount Baker, but then she threw a no hitter against Blaine.
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: They lost against Burlington, but she but none of the
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: runs were earned. So Kyllie Ramerman, huge week for her.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: She's right there. And then in e ER it's still
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: Elaine of vn Apron of Nuxac Valley, the freshman two
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: point seventy five. She hasn't started a game all year.
- 1:12:47Speaker 1: She's they're really trying to work her in slowly. I
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: think she has the most innings pitched on the team,
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: but she always pitches like the last three innings, gotcha
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: they have and Peyton Bartell and Kessen Wegger could pitch
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: a little bit. Peyton usually starts wegged or might throw
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: an any she might not, and then vann Apron comes
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: in and just closes the door and she usually throws
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: three or four innings and does really really well. And
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: I think they're just kind of, you know, they don't
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: want to throw her to the wolves just just yet.
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: But she's been doing a great job. And you know
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: that's the thing about the Pioneers, they always can score runs.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: They're starting to get that pitching turned around now and
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: that's why they they have more wins than any of
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: their team in Wakam County right now with twelve. So uh,
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: that's gonna be the big big test of course again
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: going to Deming on Tuesday with the big matchup there.
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: That is it for stats again, brought to you by
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Man Insurance. We now head to the Player of the Week,
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: which is brought to you by Watcom. Wolverines. You hear
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: us talk about them all the time, they are a
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: they are I guess what is it? AAU is it?
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: I don't even know what it is, but it's it's
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: a girl fast pitched team that has all kinds of levels.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: I mean, they've got eighteen U sixteen U fourteen. Well
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: they've got them all all different levels. And I'll tell
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: you what. You just click on their website Walcomwolverines dot com.
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: The picture at the top, a lot of smiling faces.
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: They look like they're having a lot of fun over there,
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: the walk Wolverines. So they sponsored the player of the week, Tyler,
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: who is the Wokome Wolverines Player of the Week.
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: And this was really tough. Callie Ramerman was right there
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: for a while for me. I mean I just thought.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: She also hit a home run against Mount Baker, and
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: then she has that no hitter against Blaine. Blaine has
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: the Blaine has the two best hitters in the league,
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: you know, with Shayey Daniels and Mason Pol's batting average speaking,
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: and she throws a no hitter, and then she has that.
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: You know, she suffers a tough loss against burlingtonis and
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: where they lose four to two, but she didn't give
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: up an earned run I think she struck out twelve,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: So she had an amazing week, but I had to
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: give it to Kaylin Blakeley at Ferndale. It was a
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: rough week to start out with, but it wasn't really
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: on her. I mean, she was hitting a lot of
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: you know, extra base hits and stuff like that, and
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: of course playing great defense behind the plate. But that
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: game against Mount Vernon, I mean, I'm I'm never gonna
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: forget that. I mean, win fourteen to eleven against the
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: team that was undefeated in conference play, and she hits
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: two home runs in that game and they were shots
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: and it really just got that team going. And you know,
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: she had a couple of walks in that game as well,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: but you know, two home runs against against Mount Vernon
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: was huge and without without those, I don't think they
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: win that game. You know, if you're talking just physically speaking,
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: she's probably the most gifted player in Walkin County. The
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: numbers aren't as big as they were last year. I
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: think they're kind of pitching around her a little bit,
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: but boy, she is electric with the bat in her hands,
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: and so glad to see her kind of kind of
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: break out and have a big week for her for
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: her and her team. So Kaylin Blakely of Ferndale is
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: your Walkam Wolverines player of the week.
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: Tyler, we should give a shout out to the Walkome Wolverines.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: What is it? I believe they said, twelve you What
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: are we looking at here? Twelve U team. They're the
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: tournament champions of the Fleetwood Tournament up in Surrey, British Columbia.
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: They went up and beat the crap out of some
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: Canadian teams. Tyler, let me tell you to start, they
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: actually won a game three nothing over the Langley Extreme.
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: But then in the championship game they came back and
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: they beat the Langley Extreme eleven to three. Nice yeah,
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: And then they won the semi finals over the Delta
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: Inferno nine to three. They beat them earlier eleven to three.
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: I mean, they just pumped up some of these teams
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: over here, Tyler. Let me tell you doing some damage
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: in the name of the good old US of A
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: up in Canada. There. So that's the twelve you Reynolds
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: team is what it says here, the Fleetwood Tournament champions.
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: So shout out to them. You can find that and

- 1:17:40Speaker 2: six four five six seven. Tyler, let's start with Nooksack Valley,
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: Squalicum and Mount Baker. The pioneers four and thirteen. Overall
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: Squalicum they are two and fourteen and Mount Baker one
- 1:17:52Speaker 2: and fifteen.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Nixzac probably started the week off great beating Sedre Woolley.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: That was kind of a surprise right there. Nooksac Belly
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: has the ability to beat teams that are that have
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: better records than them. They just they have these moments
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: where they can. They're very aggressive offensively, so sometimes you
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: get a bunch of hits, sometimes you get a bunch
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: of strikeouts. And and they really connected on some good
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: stuff against Cigar Wooley. I think Evan Brown pitched that game,
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: did really well and they.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: Got the win.
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: And then after that they they were beat in a
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: couple of games. I think they lost Oak Harbor and
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't get a hit in that game.
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: So there's did they're They're they're kind of up and
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: down right now. Pretty young team, a lot of new
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: varsity kids, and so it was kind of a struggle
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: a little bit. Mount Baker and Squalkum actually played each other.
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: That was a game. Uh. Later in the week, Squalkam
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: got them six to four out at Deming and a
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: really really close game. And this was a close game
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: last year too, when I think it was out at Squalkum.
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: I was out there for that one where I think
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: Mount Baker won like two to one or something like that.
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: So these these these two teams that have played that
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: might have been a couple of years ago, but they
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: did beat But Baker did beat them last year as well.
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: And Eric zach I remember I remember Toga getting the
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: win in that one and and he's the one who
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: got their their win this year too, so uh so, yeah,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: so it's a it's been a struggle for Mount Baker
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: right now, but it looks like they have a lot
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: of their guys back. The offense has been a lot better.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Uh they've been scoring more runs than than than usual.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: It's just the big thing is you look at they've
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: had like seven or eight different guys pitch this year,
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: and every single one of them has walked more batters
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: than they've struck out, every single one of them. And
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: that's really really tough to overcome. But squal of them,
- 1:19:37Speaker 1: very young team getting the win against Mount Baker that
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: that was huge for them, their second win.
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: Of the year. Next up, we've got Blaine, We've got
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: Sea Home, Meridian and Bellingham, the Border Rights nine and
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: seven overall, Mariners eight and nine, Trojans seven and ten,
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: and the BayHawks six and twelve.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's the Blaine, Blaine, SEEHLM, Meridian, Belliam. I mean,
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: these are all team they could beat each other, and
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: they kind of all have and they're all just right
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: there in that in that middle of the pack. Bellingham
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: they had a they had a tough week. They were
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: they were ahead on Lyndon Christian at Lindon Christian through
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: I think four or five innings and things were looking
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: pretty good. Elsie got a really big inning going. Austin
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: Ingles hit a home run. Eli Stamps I had a big,
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: big game. I think he was a home run shy
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: of the cycle, and so Elsie was able to come
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: back and win that one. That was a tough one
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: because I thought I Bellan could win that one, they
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: could really start to kind of you know, get some
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: momentum going. It just didn't happen in that one. They
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: kind of fell apart against Berlin's Needison a few days later,
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: and and you know, airs and just different things and
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: that sometimes you just get get it all out in
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: one game, you know, if it's just not going well,
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: and that's what happened against the Tigers who got them
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: sixteen to zero. Blaine, you know, there, it's it's it's
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: it's sometimes it's a tough team to figure out. I
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: think that I think that they are a sneaky team
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: in the postseason because of Josh Cochrane, their left handed pitcher,
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: Ashton Fizzetti is a really good pitcher as well. I
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: think that they you know, Evan Yates and Aaron Garza,
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: they got some offensive weapons that I really like that
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: you know, if you if you, if you have a
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: game where they could win a game two to one
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: against a heavily favorite team, and I wouldn't be surprised
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: just because of you know that just kind of their
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: style of play, and I really like their coaching as well.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: See them had a really good week. They barely got
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: beat by Linden, then they turned around and won the
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: next two games. So I think seal them had a
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: really strong week. And Meridian Meridians one of those teams
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: that there they seem a little down this year, but man,
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: once they get to the postseason, like, I wouldn't count
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: them out because they just they're one of those teams
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: that kind of does a lot of things the right way.
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: You see a lot of you know, sacrifices and they
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: don't make airson defense, and they're just you know, you
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: could tell that this team practices a lot of situational baseball,
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: and so I'm you know, I'm kind of just kind
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: of want to see what's going to happen to them
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: in the postseason. Right around the corner.
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it is right around the corner. We'll talk about
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: that here in just a second. Linden, Christian Linden and Ferndale.
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: The Links twelve and five overall, the Lions nine to
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: nine and the Golden Eagles eight and eight.
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: Burned a had a good week. They won a marathon game.
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: I'm blanking on who was against They went twelve innings and.
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: That was big that.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: You know, Chance Hatchet, you know, who was injured for
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: the first half year, has been back now. He's been
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: a huge It's been a big, big part of their team.
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: Big strong third baseman, batting cleanup. That's been a really
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: really nice addition to that lineup who's already very strong offensively,
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: and you know, big infusion with a lot of freshmen
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: that have been doing really well. So I love to
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: see that. It's been It was, like I said, I
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: think they went I think they went two and one
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: this week something like that. I think think it was
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: a pretty durn good week and to get back to
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: five hundred for them Linden. Linden had a really rough
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: week a while back. They kind of got back into
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: the swing of things here. I think they went to
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: and one as well. I believe they beat Sea Home
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: and Ferndale and then lost to Anacortis and a cordis Is loaded.
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: Would not be surprised at all to see them back
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: in the final four and then Lynden Christian had, you know,
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: they had. I think they also had kind of a
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: little bit of a tough week. They lost two games
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: last last week and then two games again this week,
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: but still twelve and five overall. That comeback win over
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: Bellingham was huge. Like I said, Austin Engeles getting it's
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: just the third home run in Walkin County, so kind
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: of surprising there, and first one for him this year.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: He had four last year, so so he's starting to
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: get a little bit that power back. And and again
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: they are in the one as they're going to be
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: the team that's going to be you know, a lot
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: of other teams are gonna try to knock them out
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: and the thing about the Links is that they're really
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: One thing I've noticed about them is they're just they're
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: really hard to strike out. You know. You don't see
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: a lot of you see a lot of contact, you know,
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: and if in high school ball you put the ball
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: in play, who knows what's gonna happen. They could throw
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: the ball all over the place and you just never know,
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: and you give the team like that extra out, so
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: that keeps making contact. And there it's that's what makes
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: them successful. And they're They're pitching is not tremendous, but
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: it's they have a lot of depth they have They've
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: got four guys that they could really rely on to
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: throw a lot of innings, which is nice to have.
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: And so the Links are they kind of have it
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: all right now and they just hit that tough part
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: of the schedule where they face some really really good
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: teams and their record is starting to come down a
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: little bit, but still leading as far as Walking County
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: goes the.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: To a UH District one tournament. Tyler starts next Tuesday,
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: May sixth, the Doubt at Daniels Field. The Nana chordis
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: there's a lot of games. Sixth, the eighth, the tenth,
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: the thirteenth, fifteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth. I mean there's a lot
- 1:25:07Speaker 2: of games to be played in that tournament. The one
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: A is actually going straight to the district tournament. That's
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: not one over there Joe Martin and Seaholm Tyler where
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: you go back and forth all over the place. That
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: starts on May seventh, which is next Wednesday. Just kind
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: of a small look ahead at the at the Emerald
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: Sound League. This is the league that they will cross
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: over with, and you've got over Lake and Cedar Park Christian,
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: who are two of the best teams in the state
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: as far as the wiaa's RPI goes. Over Lake is second,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: Cedar Park Christian is fourth. The interesting team here, Tyler
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: is Kings. So Kings has actually beaten both Cedar Park
- 1:25:49Speaker 2: and over Lake once one each in season, so they
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: went one to one against those two teams. They are
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: listed at number ten. Lynden Christian's all the way down
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: at number fourteen, which is a little bit of a
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: surprise to me. I mean, that's RPI, it is what
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: it is. But I think Linnen and Christian would be
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: probably seated a little bit higher than than where they
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: are as far as RPI goes. But then you've got
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: University Prep who they are. They're a solid team. They
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: actually play Kings this week and over Lake Christian are
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: over Lake, which is I believe over Lake and Bear
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: Creek combined, and then Cedar Park Christian they play each
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: other this week as well, So this is a big
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: week for that conference. So so yeah, I mean, we
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: don't even know who's going to be seeded where or
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: what right now, because there's still a lot of action
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: left here. They did it right in that conference. They
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: scheduled the best team is to play each other right
- 1:26:43Speaker 2: there at the end. Man, let me tell you, yeah, Yeah,
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: it's gonna be good.
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: And I'm excited because I think Lynnen and Linnen Christian
- 1:26:48Speaker 1: has yet to play baseball against each other, so that's
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: probably coming up. And you know, both of them eight
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: and four in conference play too, best in Walkin County
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: right now, So that's going to be a really good matchup.
- 1:26:59Speaker 1: Don't know exactly what day that is, but there's gonna
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: be some good baseball still yet to be played in
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: the regular season.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: All right. That is Well, that's the standings, which are
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: again brought to you by Acceleration Driving School. You would
- 1:27:15Speaker 2: know that if you follow Tyler on Instagram because you
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: see Acceleration Driving School right up there in the corner.
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: Let's talk stat Leaders. Brought to you by j e
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: KK Sports Cards. J e KK cards dot com is
- 1:27:26Speaker 2: their website? Tel Have they moved yet or when are
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: they moving? What was what was going on?
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: I think that's supposed to happen in May. I think
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: they're really really close. So yeah, because they got a
- 1:27:35Speaker 1: lot of warehouses and stuff and now they're gonna be
- 1:27:37Speaker 1: able to have everything on display, it's gonna be great,
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: and it's gonna be right there kind of almost sharing
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: a parking lot with me Mexico. So oh, that's pretty
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: exciting for me.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: So here's an idea, Tyler. Maybe we need to do
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: like a live baseball thing from the from the store
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: sometime and you get some new Mexico brought over.
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Well, yeah, figure something out.
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: A couple of a lot that's saying, maybe we could
- 1:28:02Speaker 2: have a taco eating competition too. Oh, good luck bringing
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: Van Dalen or how about that? How about we bringing
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: some coaches from around the county and have a taco
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: eating competition. I will dominate. I don'ch lap man.
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: He might. That's a lot of tacos.
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: Maybe we could have a lemon eating contest. Boy, that's
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: a lot of lemons. All right, Tyler getting we're getting
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: off We're getting off track.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: Here.
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: Stat Leaders brought to you by j e KK Sports Cards.
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: Let's talk hits, doubles and triples Tyler.
- 1:28:36Speaker 1: Yeah, so hits and doubles both. Austin Angles still kind
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: of leading in this twenty six hits on the year.
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: He is the school's all time leading leader in hits
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: now I think one hundred and seven in his career.
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: Austin Angles also leads with ten doubles. I know that
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: was a goal of his to lead in doubles. He's
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: he's been leading it pretty much the whole year. I
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: think there was a tie earlier, but now he's kind
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: of taken that and gone with it. And then this
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: teammate Eli Mayberry has three triples. I think he had
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: two in one week and ever since then everyone else
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: has been trying to catch him.
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: In what year is Angles? He's a senior, Okay, I mean,
- 1:29:13Speaker 2: my goodness, that's and we're gonna say his name about
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: fourteen more times here in the next couple of minutes.
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we'll say it well in
- 1:29:22Speaker 2: the next three let's go home runs a batting average
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: and runs a bat it in where you get to
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: mention him and a couple other guys.
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Fenton Bassk of Ferndale, Colebauman of Knukxack Valley.
- 1:29:32Speaker 1: They hit a home run a few weeks ago. Now
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: they're joined with Austin Angles with a home run. Angles
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: also leading with a four ninety one batting average and
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: sixteen runs batted in again, triple crown. If he can
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: you know, if you can win it out right by
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: hitting another home run, that'd be pretty cool. I think
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: last year he batted five hundred on the nose, had
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: four home runs and thirty rby eyes. So h that's
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: he's just one of those guys that just he just hits.
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: I mean every single time. He just does not get cheated,
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: and he seems like he squares it up every single time.
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: And sometimes it's, you know, it's hit really high and
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: he gets caught, but a lot of the times it's
- 1:30:11Speaker 1: they're line shots and just one heck of a hitter.
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: Let's go let's see that was what that was home runs.
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: Let's go runs, stolen bases and walks.
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: Yeah, run score Jackson Juliot, the leadoff hitter for Lendon
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: Christian has nineteen along with Austin Ingles, who now joins
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: him with nineteen stolen bases. Joe Harward of Bellingham still
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: leads with nineteen stolen bases and his teammate Kai Nelson
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: of Bellingham leads with sixteen walks.
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: Well, let's go to the percentages here, slugging on base
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: and ops.
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: Yeah, slugging still Austin Ingles slugging seven thirty six. That
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: home run kind of helped that out a little bit.
- 1:30:50Speaker 1: On base percentage, it's been a few different guys. Angles
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: has held it, Trason Johnson has held it. Now it's
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: Evan Yates of Blaine the catcher. He gets on base
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: sixty percent of the time. Six base percentage on the
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: nose and ops is Austin Angeles at thirteen to twenty.
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: My goodness, yep. Let's go to the pitching numbers, Tyler.
- 1:31:13Speaker 2: We'll start with wins and innings pitched.
- 1:31:15Speaker 1: Yeah, wins, huts and nef still sitting at four wins
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: on the season. He had a really good game, but
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: uh it was still tied when when he came out,
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: so uh so the reliever that came in, I think
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: it was Max Bronstein. He picked up the win in relief.
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: So he's still sitting with four wins, along with Josh
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: Cochran of Blaine and Nolan Bolliack of Ferndale, who picked
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: up each picked at their fourth win this past week.
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: And when he's pitched an inning pitch, it's the it's
- 1:31:41Speaker 1: the lefty from Squalicum, Cameron Schmidt, who has now pitched
- 1:31:44Speaker 1: forty six and a third innings. I'll tell you what. Uh,
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: they find ways to get him multiple starts in a
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: in a in a week, you know, Pitch him early,
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: pitch him late. Uh they they you know, I don't
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: know the exact rules with pitch counts and stuff like that.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: If you've thrown this many pitches, you have to wait
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: this many days, you know. I think it's like if
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: you've pitched over seventy five pitches and you don't have
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: to wait like three days or something like that. So
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: it's like they start them, they let him go to
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: seventy two, they pull them, and they because I know
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: they're gonna need him later on in the week and
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: then let him just roll after that. So uh so, yeah,
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: Cameron Schmidt now forty six and the third innings pitched.
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: I'll admit, Tyler, I coach baseball, and I don't even know, uh,
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: I don't even know the numbers off the top of
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: my head because I don't at one point. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
- 1:32:25Speaker 2: you don't pitching exactly, Yeah, I don't. And I know
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: there's a I know there's a list somewhere. I just
- 1:32:30Speaker 2: can't remember what exactly it is. But let's finish it
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: off with strikeouts, and e er, it's the same guy.
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: Yeah, Matthew Carroll's still holding on both of these sixty
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: strikeouts now on the season, and uh he he pitching
- 1:32:43Speaker 1: his stand at Cordas, so he's throw. You know, you
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: throw against the top team, you know, one of the
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: top teams in the conference, and and uh you only
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: I think you only had a couple of runs scored
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: on him. So it did pretty well your way up
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: to one point zero eight.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: I was just you said a couple and I went, oh, oh,
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: so he raised his ERA this week, Yeah he did, slumpkin,
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: All right, let's go Player of the Week. Tyler is
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: brought to you by SIGs At Funeral and Cremation Services
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: eight oh nine West Orchard Drive, Suite two in Bellingham.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: You can give them a call three six zero six
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: five six fifty four fifty nine Tyler who is the
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: SIGs At Funeral and Cremation Services Player of the Week.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: You know, I kind of looked high and dry, and
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: I just kind of looked over everything. I thought Selim
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: had a really good week, but not there wasn't a
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: player that really really just jumped out. I thought Ferndale
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: had a really good week. There wasn't a player that
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: really stood out. Squalkome getting that second win, I thought
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: Cameron Schmidt was was was great. So I'm going with
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: Cameron Schmidt. He struck out eleven batters over six innings
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: in that win. This is after starting earlier in the week.
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: He's asked to do a heck of a lot. He's
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: also batten third in the lineup, and I think he
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: had a double during the week as well, so a
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: little bit of everything for him. So you know, I'm
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: just I'm really happy for the Storm. I think they're
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: getting things kind of in the right direction now and
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: he's a big, big reason why. He's kind of the
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: main cog of that offense and the pitching staff. So
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: Cameron Schmid of Squalkum is your six Funeral and Cremation
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: Services Player of the Week.

- 1:34:42Speaker 1: And no, I I basically just you know, just one
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: big week now of regular season. Then we go right
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: into the postseason. And it's a long postseason. It's a
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: fun postseason and and I can't wait. It's gonna be exciting.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to we start our postseason here Bothel Baseball.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: On Tuesday, we got a game that were actually it's
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: a it's a loser out game like your season's over
- 1:35:08Speaker 2: winner advances in the into the Kinko Tournament, And if
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: you get in, or if you advance on Tuesday, you
- 1:35:15Speaker 2: automatically are making your way into the district tournament eventually,
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: but you still have to play three Kinko games before
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: you get there. So yeah, it's a it's a big one.
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: We're playing against a team that has actually beaten us
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: twice this year, even though I think we were the
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: better team in the one game and they were by
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: far the better team in the second game.
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: So should be let me let me ask you this,
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: Are you pitching somebody that they haven't seen yet?
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: No? So yes and no so no. He did start
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: against them the first game, but it was pouring down
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: rain to the point that he had no control and
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: he couldn't locate his ball and or you know, any
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: of his pitches, and so he didn't even get out
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: of the first inning. And so they haven't seen him,
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like really, they really haven't.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: And he's pitching really really well the last actually, as
- 1:36:08Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I believe the very next game
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: he threw after that game against them was a was
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: like a one hit or a two hit shutout. You know,
- 1:36:19Speaker 2: it's just phenomenal. He's done it a couple of times
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: this year. So we feel really good. But their guy
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: is is really really good to His name is Hiroshi Johnson,
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: and I'm sure they're gonna be pitching him because he's
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: the best guy they got. And yep, yeah, it's kind
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: of one of those things. We did win our division.
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: They are part of our division. Obviously. We actually won
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: in an eight inning walk off, probably one of the
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: best baseball games I've seen in a little while. We
- 1:36:44Speaker 2: were down one nothing in the first, tied it up,
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: and then we went up five to one. Then we
- 1:36:49Speaker 2: were up five to four, then we were down six five, No,
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: then it was five to five, then we went up
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: six five, down seven to five, scored two in the
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: seventh to tie it, and then or one in the
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: eighth and game over. I mean it was it's about
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: as back and forth as you as you can get.
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: And uh, Tyler, I have to find a way to
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: show you, but my home run song that I played
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: this week was phenomenal, and uh, it was. It was good.
- 1:37:14Speaker 2: It was it was. It was a great senior night
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: for us to get that win. And Tyler, it was
- 1:37:18Speaker 2: against one Eta, so kind of kind of yeah, kind
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: of warmed my heart a little bit, if you will.
