0:24
Speaker 1: I'm doing awesome. Excited to get going this week long
0:27
Speaker 1: road trip, but it's going to be a fun one.
0:29
Speaker 1: This is a week two podcasts. We'll be taking a
0:31
Speaker 1: look at last week's game against Arlington, freshman score from
0:34
Speaker 1: a week ago, and Monday night's JV game. I just
0:37
Speaker 1: want to kind of put this out there. With the
0:39
Speaker 1: long trip out to Idaho, we are going to attempt
0:44
Speaker 1: to broadcast the game. It'll be a live video feed
0:47
Speaker 1: for free to fans on YouTube. Coach Tim Martins and
0:51
Speaker 1: I are working on it. So yeah, we're pretty confident
0:55
Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to get it going, though. I'll
0:57
Speaker 1: be single man in it. No color commentary, so I
0:59
Speaker 1: got a maybe I'll use a different voice for color
1:01
Speaker 1: commentary and make it sound like there's two people there.
1:04
Speaker 1: Attention Alumni. Homecoming just a week away Friday, September twenty sixth,
1:07
Speaker 1: seven pm kickoff against the Skyline Spartans. We'd love to
1:10
Speaker 1: see everyone out there wearing blue celebrating Baffel football. Coach.
1:13
Speaker 1: Let's get started with the freshman game, as this is
1:16
Speaker 1: getting posted. It was basically a week ago freshman team.
1:19
Speaker 1: Freshman team get a win to start the twenty twenty
1:22
Speaker 1: five season over an East Lake CE team, which I'll
1:25
Speaker 1: tell you what, man, they had some big boys on
1:27
Speaker 1: that team, but twenty one to nineteen win. Tyler Wells
1:31
Speaker 1: three touchdowns out of the backfield, Hudson Han three successful
1:35
Speaker 1: point after attempts. You were out there, coach, what did
1:38
Speaker 1: you see?
1:39
Speaker 2: You know, I saw exactly what a head coach wants
1:41
Speaker 2: to see, kids flying around having fun, coaches coaching. It
1:45
Speaker 2: was a great football game. East Lakes really talented and
1:48
Speaker 2: well coached also, and it was a battle. It was
1:51
Speaker 2: back and forth, and we made some extra points and
1:55
Speaker 2: that were key. And you know, they got a blocked
1:59
Speaker 2: field good in a scoop and score. So we really
2:02
Speaker 2: we really played well both sides of the ball. We
2:04
Speaker 2: moved it, we stopped them when we needed to. Just
2:08
Speaker 2: a really good fun game to see as a fan
2:10
Speaker 2: and as a coach.
2:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the three point after attempts cannot be
2:15
Speaker 1: understated how important they were because in the end they
2:17
Speaker 1: kind of did lead to the win. But on the
2:20
Speaker 1: freshman team, you don't always get successful point after attempts,
2:23
Speaker 1: and I believe it was j Parrish with the hold,
2:26
Speaker 1: Hudson Han with a kick. I'm not sure who the
2:29
Speaker 1: long snapper was, and I'm not happy with myself about
2:31
Speaker 1: that one, but kind of cool to see three successful
2:34
Speaker 1: point after attempts there.
2:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, you know, those those three things that you
2:39
Speaker 2: have to do, the good snap, the great hold, and
2:41
Speaker 2: the quick kick against you know, a bunch of kids
2:44
Speaker 2: coming from the other side trying to block it, and
2:47
Speaker 2: they did get one, but you know we made them
2:49
Speaker 2: when it counted in. So really proud of those guys.
2:52
Speaker 1: JV hit the road on Monday and they drop a
2:55
Speaker 1: close one twenty four to twenty to the Arlington Eagles.
2:59
Speaker 1: I mean, first lost in quite a while. I know
3:02
Speaker 1: Owen Bainter was very happy to announce how long it
3:05
Speaker 1: has been. But did you get a report from that game?
3:08
Speaker 1: You know, a little bit.
3:08
Speaker 2: They got home late and I was ready for bed,
3:11
Speaker 2: and so I heard a few things. A close game,
3:14
Speaker 2: you know, another twenty four to twenty game and kind
3:17
Speaker 2: of went down to the wire and big plays were
3:19
Speaker 2: made and you know, mistakes as well, and that's kind
3:22
Speaker 2: of football. And so I'll get the better report today.
3:25
Speaker 1: JV team gets their first home game of the season
3:28
Speaker 1: this coming Monday when they host the Cameact Knights. That
3:31
Speaker 1: is a seven pm kickoff at Boffel High School and
3:33
Speaker 1: concessions will be available and it's free to get in.
3:36
Speaker 1: There's nothing stopping you from coming and showing up and
3:38
Speaker 1: supporting the Kooks. Let's move over talk of varsity football
3:41
Speaker 1: coach first home game of the season at Popkini on
3:43
Speaker 1: Friday night. Fans were out in full force. The band
3:45
Speaker 1: was rocking and rolling. Cheerleaders were out there doing their thing.
3:48
Speaker 1: By the way, I know, I announced forty six cheerleaders.
3:53
Speaker 1: It looks like we have about one hundred and forty
3:54
Speaker 1: six cheer There are a lot of cheerleaders on that sideline, man.
3:58
Speaker 1: But all in all, great night out of Popkini. Kok's
4:00
Speaker 1: come away with a thirty to seven win over Arlington.
4:03
Speaker 2: You know, it's it started. You know, the parade, the
4:06
Speaker 2: parade was electric. It was maybe as big as student
4:11
Speaker 2: body in the parade that I've you know that I've witnessed.
4:14
Speaker 2: We had our youth programs behind us. It was long.
4:17
Speaker 2: I remember getting to that second stop sign and looking
4:20
Speaker 2: back and I think we were still coming out of
4:21
Speaker 2: the parking lot, and so there were a couple of
4:23
Speaker 2: times when we all turned around because there was noise
4:25
Speaker 2: back there was. It was electric, it was fun. The
4:28
Speaker 2: reception at the bottom of the hill may have been
4:30
Speaker 2: the biggest one as well. There were a lot of
4:32
Speaker 2: people down there. And so, you know, we get supported
4:36
Speaker 2: so well in Bothel in our football program and people
4:40
Speaker 2: love coming to the pop and you know you mentioned
4:43
Speaker 2: it already. But our cheerleaders I always tell them, and
4:46
Speaker 2: they think I'm joking that they're the hardest working group
4:49
Speaker 2: on campus, but I think they get like a week
4:51
Speaker 2: off or maybe two, and and you know, they're they're
4:54
Speaker 2: doing stuff all three seasons. And every time I'm walking
4:58
Speaker 2: around there, they're working. After if I leave late, they're
5:01
Speaker 2: still there. They're wonderful, and our band is tremendous. You know,
5:06
Speaker 2: everybody knows our band, and we're well recognized, and we
5:10
Speaker 2: do a lot of things out of the state and
5:12
Speaker 2: in New York and whatnot. But they're special and they
5:15
Speaker 2: do a wonderful job. It was just a wonderful atmosphere
5:18
Speaker 2: for high school football. The weather couldn't have been better,
5:22
Speaker 2: and you know, it was great.
5:26
Speaker 1: You know, somebody myself had been to hundreds and hundreds
5:29
Speaker 1: of high school football games. Seeing the atmosphere for like
5:33
Speaker 1: the first game of the season is always the best
5:36
Speaker 1: because everybody is just raring to get in there for
5:38
Speaker 1: that first time. And I'll tell you what fans banned,
5:41
Speaker 1: you know, parents, even people that probably just showed up
5:44
Speaker 1: to watch football. It was truly tremendous out there at
5:47
Speaker 1: POPULKINI Now, when we get into talking about the game,
5:51
Speaker 1: I think people see thirty points and they instantly want
5:54
Speaker 1: to talk offense. And we'll get to the offense here
5:55
Speaker 1: in just a minute. But I think we got to
5:57
Speaker 1: start with the defense. Seven points a lot on the night,
6:00
Speaker 1: and the one touchdown that they did give up came
6:01
Speaker 1: on a very short field. I think it was like
6:04
Speaker 1: twelve thirteen yard scoring drive for Arlington.
6:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, we you know, we we we made some
6:10
Speaker 2: mistakes week one and we fixed a lot of those.
6:13
Speaker 2: We didn't give up the deep ball like we did
6:15
Speaker 2: week one, and we defended that much better. We're running
6:19
Speaker 2: to the ball better now, we're understanding I think what
6:21
Speaker 2: we what our job and assignment is and that helps
6:24
Speaker 2: you to play fast. We are seeing great improvements over there,
6:29
Speaker 2: and they played an outstanding game. And yeah, you know,
6:32
Speaker 2: we gave up seven points, but it was a you know,
6:35
Speaker 2: it was kind of a short field. Like you said,
6:37
Speaker 2: they started on the five and and you know, we
6:40
Speaker 2: just need to continue to see the growth we saw
6:43
Speaker 2: last week with our defense throughout the season.
6:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, there was a couple of interceptions
6:49
Speaker 1: Kaylin Dunnet, Kyle Seachov. This is something you know, you
6:52
Speaker 1: talk about quite a bit, is seniors being seniors and
6:57
Speaker 1: guys like sea Chov and done it being cap and
7:00
Speaker 1: they step up and they make I mean a couple
7:03
Speaker 1: a couple of tough interceptions, especially sea Chov going up
7:06
Speaker 1: and making a play on the ball which in Week
7:08
Speaker 1: one might have gone for a touchdown because of some
7:11
Speaker 1: you know, different mistakes. So it's really cool to see
7:13
Speaker 1: the defense make those improvements. Let's talk about the offense.
7:16
Speaker 1: Two headed monster Sion Soom Miles Welch in the backfield.
7:19
Speaker 1: Week one, Soom with two touchdowns while Welch got one
7:22
Speaker 1: of his own. This week, Welch scores three, soon gets one.
7:26
Speaker 1: I've been kind of a fun duo there the first
7:29
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
7:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. And you know, you got to
7:31
Speaker 2: you got to connect them with the offensive line and
7:33
Speaker 2: our tight ends and that that group is is special.
7:36
Speaker 2: And and those two kids are on hard. They're unselfish.
7:40
Speaker 2: They don't care who gets the ball. We don't put
7:42
Speaker 2: them in spots where you know, they get to line
7:44
Speaker 2: up freely in our two back system. We don't tell
7:46
Speaker 2: them who's right, who's left, or who's getting the ball,
7:48
Speaker 2: who's blocking, and and uh, they do a wonderful job
7:52
Speaker 2: of complimenting each other and taking care of one another.
7:55
Speaker 2: And they're both hard runners and you know, scions of
7:58
Speaker 2: physical you know kid who it's hard to bring him
8:01
Speaker 2: down and maybe doesn't have the speed that Miles has,
8:05
Speaker 2: but man, he's as tough as anybody. And you know,
8:07
Speaker 2: and then you had Miles in there. When he gets
8:09
Speaker 2: in the open space, he can fly. So together they're
8:12
Speaker 2: doing a great job. But you know, really, and they
8:14
Speaker 2: would tell you this if they were on this podcast,
8:16
Speaker 2: that it starts with the guys up front, and what
8:19
Speaker 2: a good group of physical kids who you know who
8:22
Speaker 2: just unselfishly blocked the heck out of the scheme and
8:25
Speaker 2: that they're faced with and they do it play after
8:27
Speaker 2: play after play, So that was fun to see. We
8:31
Speaker 2: had some spurts early. We started the game and drove
8:34
Speaker 2: right down the field and in three or four plays
8:37
Speaker 2: and then we kind of self destructed a little bit,
8:39
Speaker 2: which we hadn't done week one, but we got to
8:42
Speaker 2: get rolling and we picked it up and so really
8:46
Speaker 2: proud of our guys and can't wait to see their
8:48
Speaker 2: growth this week as well.
8:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, it's funny when you talk about
8:51
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Greg Nelson, who does a tremendous job
8:54
Speaker 1: taking pictures for us in games, and we're talking sophomore game,
8:58
Speaker 1: freshman game, JV, anything that's here Baffel High School. I've
9:01
Speaker 1: seen him on the road over at Woodinville before. He's
9:04
Speaker 1: got pictures of the offensive linemen in full sprint. And
9:09
Speaker 1: the effort that the offensive line gave the last two
9:12
Speaker 1: weeks has just been tremendous. So as they continue to
9:16
Speaker 1: grow and just gel even a little bit more with
9:18
Speaker 1: a couple of new starters on offense, it's it's truly
9:20
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I think some people might say it's
9:24
Speaker 1: cliche to say that there's still a lot of work on.
9:26
Speaker 1: As you go over the film, and some of the
9:28
Speaker 1: other coaches have gone over the film, I think the
9:30
Speaker 1: general consensus here, you know, at BOFEL is that there
9:34
Speaker 1: is still a lot to work on.
9:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is, you know, you know, other than the line.
9:38
Speaker 2: We're actually a really young football team and you know,
9:43
Speaker 2: it's it's been hot early and and you know what
9:45
Speaker 2: the heat does to you, you know, makes cowards out
9:48
Speaker 2: all of us, and we don't push ourselves sometimes. I
9:51
Speaker 2: think this this week we had a little bit of
9:55
Speaker 2: you know, sessions here and there where periods they're in
9:59
Speaker 2: practice where we just you know, we took it easy.
10:01
Speaker 2: I think we got a little full of ourselves at
10:03
Speaker 2: times with the fact that we beat a you know,
10:05
Speaker 2: a really good Kennedy football team and and you know
10:08
Speaker 2: that that happens to young teams especially, and so you know,
10:12
Speaker 2: hopefully we learned that lesson. We didn't have the greatest week,
10:15
Speaker 2: but but you know it was good to learn a
10:18
Speaker 2: lesson and still get a win and against the quality opponent.
10:21
Speaker 2: And so we're we're excited about the matchuration mentally that
10:26
Speaker 2: our football team will will have this week.
10:29
Speaker 1: Let's talk players of the week. The offensive and Defensive
10:31
Speaker 1: Players of the Week are brought to you by Team

10:52
Speaker 1: Boffel favorites. So go check them out. Uh. These are
10:55
Speaker 1: picked by Steven Millon. We will start with the defensive
10:58
Speaker 1: shout out. They want to give a shout out to
11:01
Speaker 1: Colton Bryan and Mobile Ale who played played well, great
11:05
Speaker 1: effort on Friday night. But this week's selection for defensive
11:07
Speaker 1: Player of the Week is number seventy two Britain Hubbard.
11:12
Speaker 1: They say he made it tough all night on Arlington,
11:14
Speaker 1: running up the middle, stout on defense from start to
11:17
Speaker 1: finish against the Eagles this past week.
11:19
Speaker 2: You know he's had two great, really outstanding defensive performances,
11:23
Speaker 2: you know, doing his job, plugging his gap. We tell
11:26
Speaker 2: defensive linemen, you can be all league and never make
11:29
Speaker 2: a tackle. You know that's not always your role, but
11:33
Speaker 2: he does a wonderful job with with you know, stuff
11:36
Speaker 2: in the middle, like you said, and he's a tough
11:38
Speaker 2: kid to move, and oftentimes two guys can't do it,
11:41
Speaker 2: so you know, hats off to him those other all,
11:45
Speaker 2: all the d linemen are playing really well. We saw
11:48
Speaker 2: improvement at linebacker, defensive back. So really pleased with the
11:52
Speaker 2: growth that we saw. Like I said earlier, but yeah,
11:56
Speaker 2: Britain had a great week and much deserving.
11:59
Speaker 1: Offensive side of the ball. Steven Millen thought this player
12:02
Speaker 1: made some explosive plays with tough running shifted the offensive
12:05
Speaker 1: picture on the night. The offensive player of the game
12:08
Speaker 1: this week number six, Miles Welch.
12:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, statistically speaking, you know, he had he
12:13
Speaker 2: had a wonderful game. Again, you know, it's it's a
12:17
Speaker 2: it's both our running backs complement each other well and
12:20
Speaker 2: run hard. And Miles had a couple of really good
12:22
Speaker 2: runs for a sophomore kid. And but what I mean
12:24
Speaker 2: by that is he broke tackles. He was he was stopped,
12:28
Speaker 2: but his legs kept moving. It's hard to take him down.
12:32
Speaker 2: He's got that that wonderful mixture of strength and speed
12:35
Speaker 2: and and you know he's a sophomore, so he grows
12:39
Speaker 2: each week and it's fun to see his development.
12:42
Speaker 1: Well, let's take a quick look at our opponent this week.
12:44
Speaker 1: This week's opponent preview was brought to you by Passion
12:46
Speaker 1: Tequila Family Mexican restaurant just a few blocks north of
12:49
Speaker 1: Popkini Stadium and open seven days a week. Passion Tequila
12:52
Speaker 1: is serving great food you can enjoy with your family
12:54
Speaker 1: and friends. Coach, this week's opponent is the Loosten Bengals
12:57
Speaker 1: out of Idaho, a team bothelbet last season thirty eight ten,
13:01
Speaker 1: but the Bengals got a new head coach this season.
13:03
Speaker 1: They started zero and three against some pretty tough competition,
13:06
Speaker 1: but got in the wind. Call them last week with
13:07
Speaker 1: a convincing forty six nothing to shut out at home
13:10
Speaker 1: against their rival of the Clarkson Bannhams.
13:12
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, sometimes people look at records and they're
13:16
Speaker 2: totally misleading, and you just don't know until you watch.
13:19
Speaker 2: They did play three quality opponents really good, and then
13:23
Speaker 2: they played a team that was, you know, kind of
13:25
Speaker 2: middle of the road and crushed them. So this is
13:27
Speaker 2: a better team than their record. They're well coached, their
13:29
Speaker 2: kids fly to the football. They've got good size up front,
13:33
Speaker 2: they've got good athleticism and the skill positions. Their quarterbacks
13:36
Speaker 2: got the ability to run the football. He has a
13:39
Speaker 2: great arm as well. It's going to be a wonderful
13:42
Speaker 2: challenge for us, it really is. And you know, this
13:45
Speaker 2: is a it's going to be a test for us
13:48
Speaker 2: and we're looking forward to it.
13:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, a test also in the fact that
13:53
Speaker 1: it's a long bus ride over and back. Now that
13:55
Speaker 1: being said, I've seen Cordelaine do it for years, Lewison's
13:58
Speaker 1: Lowsen did it last year, is done at a bunch
14:00
Speaker 1: over the years, coming to the western side of the state,
14:03
Speaker 1: western side of Washington as well. So bus ride not necessarily.
14:07
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to make an excuse for anything
14:09
Speaker 1: here at this point, but you know, there's something a
14:12
Speaker 1: little bit of a challenge you got to overcome. But
14:13
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a couple of stops along the way,
14:15
Speaker 1: get the bus legs moving. I've seen the thought before
14:18
Speaker 1: that trips like these can really bring teams together. Do
14:21
Speaker 1: you buy into that?
14:22
Speaker 2: Absolutely? You know, anytime you can hang out together and
14:26
Speaker 2: it's not football related, you get to talk to one another,
14:29
Speaker 2: you get to grow, You get to laugh, you get
14:32
Speaker 2: to experience things. It's it always leads to growth. It's
14:36
Speaker 2: getting out of comfort zone and that's how we grow.
14:40
Speaker 2: This will be great. You know, we're going to get
14:42
Speaker 2: out of school on Friday early and we're gonna we're
14:45
Speaker 2: gonna make our way over the pass and stop at
14:47
Speaker 2: the Indian John Hidy and John Hill. Yeah, Indian John Hill.
14:52
Speaker 2: Rest stop, get our legs going a little bit. We'll
14:54
Speaker 2: go to Washtuck and have a lunch and again stretch
14:58
Speaker 2: our legs and you know, then we're heading to the
14:59
Speaker 2: Kibbi Dome for a nice little walkthrough and get get
15:03
Speaker 2: kids to see a college campus a little bit and
15:05
Speaker 2: a you know in a in an indoor facility that's
15:08
Speaker 2: kind of unique. And then we'll go and play a
15:10
Speaker 2: football game. And it's gonna be hot, so hot this week.
15:15
Speaker 2: That'll help us. So now, these opportunities to do things
15:19
Speaker 2: like this are special. And you know, I just got
15:21
Speaker 2: to shout out to our booster club for the the
15:23
Speaker 2: help that they're doing financially in making this happen. And
15:28
Speaker 2: you know, just just where kids are lucky when you
15:31
