  Speaker 1: to Welcome prehaps Podcast with Tyler and Ryland goingks. Greetings
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and welcome into the Welcome Preps Podcast. This is episode
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty five, a Winter Sports weekly wrap up.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I am Tyler Anderson and I am solo again this evening.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So my best swishes are to Ryland for a speedy
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: recovery and let's get right into it. It was an
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: interesting week with the snow and everything and some thing's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: got moved around. But first we got to give a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: thank you to Lynn and Christians senior basketball player Gannon
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Dykstra for the intro. It was crazy when I was
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: thinking about who was going to give the intro, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I thought of Ganondekstro and I couldn't believe
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I hadn't asked him yet to do one. It was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: kind of kind of shocking, actually, So yeah, so I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: was able to connect with him and he got the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: intro to me, and of course he nailed it just
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: like he does from downtown, so now shooting over forty
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: percent from downtown. So he had a great week and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about his links in a little bit, but
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: we can get right into it with the boys wrestling,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and we're in postseason right now for wrestling. But there
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be you know, regionals and districts and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: all that stuff was supposed to be on Saturday, got
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: moved for the boys as far as one A and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: two A goes, and a lot of teams haven't been
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: able to practice, and so now that's set up for
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the fifteenth. One day will be at Baker, two A
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: will be at Lakequid. But three A did wrestle, So
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the sub district's Ferndale. They took park in the district
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: one three A South, which is interesting and I'm curious
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: if it had to do with snow over something like that.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And so they competed with the more southern teams and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they took second place. Edmunds Woodway took first, urn seventy
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nine and a half points, Ferndale took second two hundred
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and sixty six and a half. Lynnwood took third, followed
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: by Shortcrest, Mount Lake Terrace, Meadowdale, and shore Wood. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Ferndale the pretty good showing here getting second place. And
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: so I believe the way this goes is the top
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: eight finishers in each weight class will compete this upcoming
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: week with the top eight from the other group you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: know of the West co and so, and then they
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: will compete from there in the top you know five
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: will go on to state and regionals are kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: however that goes so uh so, yeah, so Ferndale had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of placers in the top eight. Looks like
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: well in two, three, four, five, eighteen wrestlers finished in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the top eight. So they will move on to next week.

  Speaker 1: from there. It's a pretty bright future for the next
• 5:14

• 5:19

• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and then there's the two way and three A so
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so there will be competitions next week. Everything
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: got kind of got snowed out, just too many practices
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: being missed, and that's what happens. Everything was gonna boil
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: down to the eighth this past Saturday and it didn't happen.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So we've got to regroup, make things work and see
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: how it goes for the rest of the season. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll make it all work out. So uh
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna jump to boys swimming and diving now

• 6:51
  Speaker 1: swimming dive, you know, this week there was no league meets,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so the standings remained the same. See Home still seven
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and one and one, well Come six and three, Bellingham
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: also six and three, Ferndale four and five, and Lindon
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: at two and seven. But what they did have over
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the week or I guess the weekend is they had
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the Northwest Conference B meet, and so a lot of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the kind of the second tier swimmers kind of one
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: last chance to qualify for districts and states stuff like that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So and there were some were there were some qualifiers
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to go to districts. So Sebastian Uribay from Linden and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the he qualified for the one hundred butterfly and the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: one hundred breaststroke. Nicholas Rayon of Bellingham qualified in the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: fifty freestyle by his relay leadoff in the two hundred
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: free relay, so they look at that as well. They
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: look at what you do in a relay and if
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's fast enough then you can qualify for, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the the fifty freestyle, which is pretty cool. Brendan Morak
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of Linden also qualified for the one hundred breaststroke and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Torn Fraser of Bellingham qualified for the one hundred breaststrokes.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: So it's great to say these these swimmers that that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been going against kind of bigger competition
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: throughout the year, have this chance to put forth an
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: effort to move on to the next round. These guys
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: did also in diving. Kayden Schmidt from Seahome and Nolan
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Whitman from Squalkum both made state qualifying numbers in the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: diving events. So and that's that's no surprise. Those two
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: have been putting up pretty big numbers all year, so
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: congratulations to both of them as well. And it's pretty crazy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's this is where it's gonna start getting.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: This is where it's really unique because I kind of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: know what good times are, but then I look around
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and then you get to the postseason and you get
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to state and there's some unbelievable times that you didn't
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: think you would see. So we'll see how they can
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: how they compare with the rest of the state. Really
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: really excited about that. Again. Boys swimming and diving. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it's really coming down to it now with the playoffs
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and everything like that, I should say postseason and a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lot of great swimmers in the area, so good luck
• 9:05

  Speaker 1: out at Advance Customcards dot com. I tell you what,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: girls basketball this week, it was the last week of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: regular season basketball. Now everyone's going to go to the playoffs.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: But there are some play in games and different things
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: like that. But and a few games got canceled. A
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: lot of them got moved to different dates. They got
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: as many as they could in. Everybody got to play
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: at least one game, which is great. But there were
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a few games that were canceled because of the snow
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and that's that. But we've got a pretty you know balanced,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you know everybody. They played enough games and I think
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: it's gonna work out pretty well here. So let's look
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: down at the blame Border Rights, Mount Baker, Mountaineers, Belly
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and Bayox and Seahoe Mariners, Blaine. Right now, they they
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: finished the season at one and eleven in conference play,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: four and fourteen in the regular season overall. And this
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this past week they lost to Mount Vernon fifty seven
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to thirty six, and then they lost to Sidroe Woolley.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Right now, it says fifty it says thirty two to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: thirty two, but I know that's not right. I think
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it was fifty six or no, fifty three to thirty two.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And you know what I've loved about this Border Right team,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: especially when you look at the first half. You look
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: at the points they score every game, and in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: first half it was under twenty five constantly. And now
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: they're over they're they're averaging around thirty five a game,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: which is awesome, and so they're really starting to trust
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in their offense. I mean, when you see them bring
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the ball down now it's totally different. They are moving
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the ball around quick than a lot of other teams do.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: They always play great defense, and so you know, they finished.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they had four wins in the Raiders season.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: They're going to be going to the postseason. They'll be
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: playing Monday night. We'll be talking about that and a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: little bit, so they will have a chance to play
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: on with the blame border rights. What an ordeal having
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: only one player with varsity experience coming into the season
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and being able to pick up four wins. They give
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit to coach Wolfus and his crew,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, there's still more to be
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: done for them as well. Mount Baker Mountaineers they lost
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a Ferndale fifty six to twenty three. Then they lost
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to Mount Vernon fifty four to twenty seven. I was
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: at that game down to Mount Vernon, and uh, you know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the Bulldogs just it just got it. It just got
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: away from from Baker a little bit. The Bulldogs were
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: connecting from downtown and and that's just kind of how
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it goes. Sometimes there was some offensive miscues. They really
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: had trouble just moving the ball. Sometimes a thing would
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: happen and there was just one extra pass that could
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: have been made that wasn't and it just takes time.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And you know you're missing a couple of your starters,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Ryan Harkness and Rebecca Sores, and that's that's really tough.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I believe Ryan is probably out for the year. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: saw her in that game against Nukxac. I believe it
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was when she she heard her leg and she hasn't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: played since. She did finish that game remarkably, but she
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: hasn't played since that game. And and and Rebecca Sores
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: she actually played the last couple of minutes in that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: game against Mount Vernon, which was really cool to see.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: So hopefully she'll be able to play on Monday night
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: in the district playing game. So Mount Baker finishes the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Ragular season two and thirteen in league plays, six and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: thirteen overall, and again six months in the year. Hey,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that's that. That's an improvement after the last few years.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: So there's they're slowly improving every single year. Bellingham Bayhaw
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: they lost to Meridian forty five twenty one. That was
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: their lone game of the week. They did have another
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: game scheduled against Blaine that got canceled. I think that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: would have been a pretty darn good game they did
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: play earlier in the year. It must have been a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: non conference game. I was at that game, and that
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: was a good game that went all the way, that
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: went all the way through pretty close. Bellingham did win
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that one, but they lose here forty five to twenty one.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Mary Lockhart had a pretty good game. She did well
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: at the free throw line. She was the only one
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that was in double digits. The BayHawks, I tell you what,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they play so hard. It's just like I keep saying
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: every single week, they are better than they were last year.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But the record is kind of the same. There's just
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the points scored and the points allowed are so much
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: better than it was last year. And that's really good
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to see. They finished the regular season two and eleven
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in conference play, five and thirteen overall, and we go
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to Seahome now Seahome Mariners. They beat Squalic them thirty
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: seven to thirty four, so they they take home the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: city breaking rights. They beat Belling in by three, they
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: beat Squalk them by three, And I tell you what,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: this is an exciting team. No seniors on the team,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of you know, first year varsity players, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what we've been talking about, but Taylor Terrell,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Kate Schroeder, Aspen Barge, those three players have really elevated
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: their game as the season's gone along. At least Panaghos
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: has been a really good player. She she grabs a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: lot of rebounds and is a strong presence down low.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: And I just there's something about them that I really
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: really like. And I think they do well when it's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: crunch time, which is really good to see and you're
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: gonna need that come playoffs, and so especially in close
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: games they do. They do well in close games, which
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: is you know what a lot of young teams usually don't.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: And so that's what's that's what's been great about them.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And of course they're well coached with Kim Stenzgar and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you know, she definitely knows what she's doing. You know,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: she has a state title herself, so as a head coach,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: so she knows what to do and she got the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: job done there. They did lose to Burlington Edison sixty
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to twenty eight. Of course, Burlington Edison is one of
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the top teams at the two A level, and you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: know that's just how it is. I mean, Burlington Edison
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: has been great for a while now it seems like
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I mean I only jumped back into the basketball the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: last few years. Covered it a lot, you know, years
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and years ago, twenty five years ago, but I'd always
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: kind of kept an eye on it. Always seems the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: girls basketball was always very, very good, along with the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: volleyball and stuff like that. And you see a lot
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of the same athletes going back and forth and playing
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: both these sports. So there's no surprise there. But Seehome
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: finishes the regular season six and nine in the Northwest Conference,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: eight and twelve overall, so good job with them. Jump
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to the Ferndale Golden Eagles now and Ferndale they only
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: had one game this week. Their game against Lennon Christian
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: was canceled due to the weather. The one game was
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: against Mount Baker where they won fifty six to twenty
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: three at home, and it was all defense and Brooklyn Larrabee,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I believe it was her fourth or fifth game where
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: she had double digit steals. She's just she's just super athletic,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and she has great timing, hand eye coordination, and she's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a competitor, and it's just you throw all those things
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: together and it's scary and and it led to a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: lot of offense too, and she she did really well
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and her offensive game has really elevated from Game one
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to now. The defense has been there since game one.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think she had eleven or twelve steals
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in that very first game. So that's that's been there constantly.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: But you know the rest of the team. You know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Kayla Lee had a really good game and that was
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: good to see because I think she's she's a player
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that has a lot of potential and just a sophomore
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: as well, you know, Abby White, Jillie Fox, Kayla Washington.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: We've been seeing these players now for over a year,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you know, going back to Lash. You're put up big
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: numbers and do a lot of good things. And so
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Ferndale right now is they're they're peaking at the right time.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Finish the regular season eight and six and conference play
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: ten and nine overall, and we'll be talking about them
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit later on. We're talking about all these
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: teams a little bit later on as far as what
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to expect this upcoming week, playoffs and stuff like that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: But as far as three A goes, you know, the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: games are not set yet. I should say the games
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: are set. The matchups aren't set yet, so I think
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: there's some other teams willing to finish their season that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: are in different conferences around the district. So so Ferndale
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: eight and six, ten and nine, pretty darn good year. Squalicum,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: my goodness, Squalicum. They're so fun to watch. They did
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: lose to see them thirty seven thirty four. We talked
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: about that a little bit, really close game. These girls
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: know each other so well, but then they turn around
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and beat Okarb fifty six to forty, and that was
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: really really good to see. Lexi Robbins had a great game.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Addison Kepman had a double double. You know, Kay Perez
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: is just so active, so physical, so athletic, and it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: it's like it's like trying to tame a wild horse
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: out there. I mean she is, She's just a different
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: kind of athlete and she she does a lot of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: great things as well. Tianna Thompson, Carl Keisou, Loretta Murphy, Kingus,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Jolie Paz. I mean, so many of these players that
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: are so athletic and it's it's uh, they're a lot
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: of fun to watch. And with the with going one
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and one this week, they finished the regular season nine
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and six in conference play, which is awesome. Eleven and
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: eight overall. I tell you what, they are a team
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: that could do a little damage in the postseason. They
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: have the potential to beat some of these higher seeded teams,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and and uh, I'm really excited to see what they
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: can do. I think that I just think that they
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: have that put they have the potential, they have the
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: ability to do some great things. I just think they
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: have to believe that they can do it. I I
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: know they can do it, and I really think that
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: they could surprise some teams and it's gonna be a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch. And we'll check out what
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: their matchup will be here this upcoming week. The Meridian Trojans,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: my goodness, a couple of wins and beat Segar Wollie
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: forty five to forty two. They were down the whole game, well,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I should say most of the game, and they wanted
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a big run at the end of the game to
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: pull it out forty five to forty two. Melanie Short
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: just went off in the fourth quarter. And what an
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: athlete she is. I mean I got to see her
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a lot in volleyball and didn't know anything about her
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you know, watching her play play volleyball, had no clue
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: she was a basketball player. I go out to basketball
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: practice there, she is not surprised she's playing varsity as
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a freshman. And then she goes and has games like these,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and it's just it's so cool to see because this
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: this Trojan team is all. I mean, I love their togetherness,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: how they all talk to each other. I mean even
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: in the pregame there's a lot of talk and it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: everything's really crisp. And I think that they are believing
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: in themselves right now, which is great to see. Ten
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and five and conference play fourteen and six. Overall, coach
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Bree Joy really has them going in the right direction
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: right now. And then they turn around to beat Bellingham
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: forty five to twenty one. So they took care of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: business this week, ended the regular season on a very
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: positive note, and that was just that's just awesome to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: see because the Trojans, you know, they're kind of back
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to where I think people thought they could be. It's
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: been tough the last few years going against the Lennon
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Christians in the Nicksack Valleys and and just kind of
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: taking that beating over and over again and they're still
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: pretty young. I think they'll have two seniors on this
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: year's team, very important ones, Brooklyn Fuller and Sophia Brooks.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: But it's just a really well routed team. You're not
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: going to find any holes. You got people that can
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: do everything. You know, you got your ballhandlers, you got
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: your shooters, you got your rebounders, you got your defenders.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: You know, Eden Bernardi coming back from the ankle injury
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: was huge, and I think everything is kind of happening
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: just right. They're a lot of fun to watch. Nuksack
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Valley had had, you know, up and down week, beating
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: o'karber and then play and then losing to Linden. I mean,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: that's that's tough. When you play those two teams in
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the same week. It's kind of different, opposite ends of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the spectrum, if you will. But they kind of did
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: what you would expect. They beat o'karb sixty two to
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. They lost to Linden sixty three to twenty seven.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Linden played tremendous defense in that game. But Nuksack Valley
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: there was some definite things to like, and that game
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: against Okarber, you know, everything went really well. They shot
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the ball well, they rebounded, they defended. Everything kind of
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: went great. That came against Lindon. It was a struggle.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, Linden is just really hard to score on
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: because the perimeter defense, the size, inside, the length, I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: mean this how you know, the long arms of all
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: those defenders, and they always had the hands up. I
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: mean they don't, you know, they don't, they don't reach.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: They just kind of know when to place the hands
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and where to place the hands, and the timing is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: great and then they react and they can get easy
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: buckets that way. So it's really hard to score on them.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: And they didn't get a lot of field goals in
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that game. But Shaey Davis had eleven points I think
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: she went nine from ten in the on the foul line,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: which is phenomenal. And so that's really good to see
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: when your when your primary ball handlers can knock down
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: free throws like that, which would be great going into
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the postseason. We all know how important that is. So
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Nikzach Valley closing the regular season ten and four in
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: conference play, thirteen and seven overall, and congratulations to coach
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Shane Wickers, who earlier this week was announced he's getting
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: inducted into the Washington Coaches Association Hall of Fame. So
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: he's one of the best out there. He's been doing
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: it for I believe this is his twenty ninth year.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And I tell you what, it's so funny because I
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: started covering him in Boy nineteen ninety nine, I think,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and I was writing for the Bellyam Harald and I
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: remember right off the bat meeting him AND's thinking, man,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: he's just so generous with his time. He's so great.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And now I come back, you know, twenty five, twenty
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: six years later, and he looks the exact same and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: he is the exact same person, and it's just so
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: cool that you have a pillar in the community like
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that as such a great coach. So congratulations to him
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and his pioneers on a great regular season. Looking forward
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to postseason play now, the lumin Nation Blackhawks man undefeated
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: in conference play and they started their their District one
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Beat Girls tournament this past week, so they were the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: one seed, so they got to play the winner of
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the playing game, which happened to be Cedar Park Christian
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: of Lynnwood. They take care of business and win that
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: game eighty eight to seventeen. And then which put him
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: into the next round where they beat Grace Academy sixty
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: one to twenty four. So again, they know these these
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: these teams that they're playing against, and they just hadn't
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: had a lot of competition this year in reg in
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the in their conference, uh tournament or a season in
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the league season. So uh and they but they're gonna
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: make sure they you know, go to town in these
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: tournament games because this is this is where it matters.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: They have already secured their spot to move to the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: tri District tournament. Uh by winning that game against Grace Academy,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: they will be uh. They're still playing though, they're gonna
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: take on Concrete and we're gonna talk about that a
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: little later on. But but congratulations to them. They are
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you know, they got Cashlyn mack back who missed a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: few missed a few games there, so it's great they
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: could get her back because she's just such a dynamic
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: player as far as a ballhandler defender. She can shoot
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it from the outside, and she's got a great eurostep
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: finish two, which you don't see a lot of that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: in the one B level with the girls. So yeah,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: so's it's just a great, great team. Jimmy James had
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: an awesome week, shooting the lights out, and this the defense,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Brianda Mattiva and Aileena ray Bang and Loraa
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Dennis actually had a really good game too against Grace Academy.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: She got six points really early, got a lot of rebounds,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: so it's nice to see her confidence grow as well.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Just a freshman that jumps center at five foot five.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: So great, great job by Lemon Nation. They're continuing it
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: right now and we'll see what the Lady Blackhawks can
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: do this upcoming week. But lind and Christian Lynks only
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: had one game. They beat Lakewood eighty five to thirty three,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: so they really took care of business there at home.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And they are on a mission. I mean they you know,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you look at their only three losses so far this year,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and they're against teams that are much bigger than them,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that are gonna place at State. So you look at
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: teams around the one A and you know it's gonna
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: be hard to beat those links. They're just so deep
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: and they can shoot it, they defend, they rebound, they
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: do everything, and that's of no surprise. Finished the regular
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: season at twelve and one in conference play, seventeen and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: three overall within the regular season. And then you go
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to the Linden girls, and Linden is the you know,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the one thing that we've been saying about them is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the one thing you could say if they needed to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: improve on something, but be their overall three point shooting.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: It hasn't been up to their standards. I tell you what,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they shot really well this week. So that's you know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that's kind of scary because that was kind of the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: only thing you could say, Well, they're average, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: everything else, they're phenomenal, and they shot really, really well
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: from three point land this week. They beat Anacordus seventy
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: one to twenty three. They beat n Uxac Valley sixty
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: three to twenty seven. I watched the anti Chordus game
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: from from you know, live as it happened, because I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: knew I wouldn't be able to get there, you know,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and a quarters for some reason that they don't put
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: anything on NFHS, so you gotta watch it live on
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: fan huddle. Then it goes away, and so I'm taking
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: stats live as it's happening, and holy cow, they're just
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: a they just attack. I mean it is it is scary.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: They are so good and and then to turn around
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and beat the Pioneers sixty three to twenty seven. That's
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: that says a lot. Finish the year undefeated in regular
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: season play thirteen and zero conference play twenty one and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: zero in the regular season. So congratulations to the Linden Lions.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: We'll be talking about them in a little bit when
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: we look ahead to the district tournament coming up this week.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: So let's just look at the stat Leaders now. Stat Leaders
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: are sponsored by Acceleration Driving School in Linden. If you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: have a kid that's uh need to learn how to drive,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that is the place to go. Give them a phone
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: call three six zero seven four six four six seven.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: No excuses for forgetting that number. Three six zero seven
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: four six four five six seven. Give my man Kevin
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: a call. They'll get you set up and I tell
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: you what, it's a great deal. And they're all about
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: walking preps as well. They want they they're always ahead
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: of the game. What what else can I do for
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the next season? And they're always wanting to jump on
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: boys and girls' sports they which is awesome too. They
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: really want to spread it out and be seen and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: that's a great, great deal. So when you look at
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the stat leaders, it's all the same names. The numbers
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: are changing a little bit. Points per game still Finleyparture
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: of Lynden twenty one point nine points per game, had
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a great, great week, and just continuing that that greatness.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Rebounds per game Graced Hoague of Nixack Valley down to
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: thirteen point two. Still pretty incredible over thirteen rebounds per game.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And she's just she's she just gets everything and she
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: rarely takes a break. That's the other thing that's really
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: about her as her endurance. She plays a lot of minutes.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes she'll sit for the end of a quarter here
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: and there for you know, less than a minute. But
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: other than that, she's out there constantly. In assist per game,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: it's Lexi Robbins of Squalicum five and a half assist
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: per game, still sitting right there, the sophomore, great, great passer.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Love what she does with the basketball, and she's gonna
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: be leading that team into the postseason. And she had
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a great game to finish the regular season, so hopefully
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that momentum carries itself. Steals per game it's Brooklyn Larrabee
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of the sophomore from Ferndale five point nine steals per game.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: We talked about her a little earlier in the show,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and she is she is really, really something, and I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: am so impressed with her game. Defensively, I'm so glad
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: she decided to turn out for basketball this year, and
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind of the one thing I always think
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: about because she did. She didn't play as a freshman,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: and she she could have, but she decided to this
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: year and that was That's awesome to see blocks per
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: game Aspen Barge of Seahome still way ahead of everybody else.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I think she's more than double the next player. She's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: at two point nine blocks per game, and man, she
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: just she's just, you know, she she dominates down there,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and she's one of the best defensive players in the county.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Field goal percentage Alison Shoemate of Lyndon Christian the senior
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: at sixty three point eight percent. She's made one hundred
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and eighteen out of her one hundred and eighty five shots.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: She really knows how to get positioned and use her
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: body and a lot of offensive putbacks too, so she's
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: hard to block out and she she just kind of
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: is in the right place at the right time. But
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: it's not luck. I mean, she knows what she's doing
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and scores a lot of points that way. Three point percentage.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: It's from Lyndy Christian again. Another senior, Daniel Dikstra, has
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: been leading for boy about a month now. She's just
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: under fifty percent. She's made thirty four of seventy from
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: downtown forty eight point six percent. That is incredible. I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: don't care who you are. You know, go out there
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and take seventy three pointers and see if you can
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: make thirty four of them. Pretty incredible. And then imagine
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: if someone's in your face, so great, great job by her.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: And then free throw percentage still Finleypartcher now eighty one
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: point eight percent. She has made fifty four of sixty
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: six on the season, and that's going to be huge,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: especially if Lynny wants to make a deep playoff run,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: which I know everyone's expecting. But that a two way
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: division around the state for girls basketball is loaded, so
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: we'll just have to see about that. So that's it
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: for girls basketball, and now we look at boys basketball,
• 32:38

  Speaker 1: what awesome business ben In. They've been in the area
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: for fifty years and I worked with them twenty five
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: years ago. So awesome people. They do an amazing job.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: The custom stuff they do is just crazy. It's unbelievable.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: So let's look at the boys basketball here, and we're
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: gonna start with the blame Border Rights. They lost to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon ninety two to forty nine and then lost
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to Sedro Wooly seventy seven to forty four. And it's
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: it's been a rough you know, it was a rough
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: week for the Border Rights. But it's been a rough
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: season as well. Finished the conference at oh and fifteen
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and they finished the regular season at three and seventeen.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's crazy though, because they really they do a lot
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: of times play up to their comp petition. Up until
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: this week, the most points that anybody put on Linden
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: all year was blamed. So they when they put it together,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: they're pretty durn good. They have some really good pieces,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: but it just, you know, it's just not happening yet.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: And I think that it will because Chascock is an
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: amazing coach and I really really like his attention to detail,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: his enthusiasm, and just his knowledge of the game. So
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: we'll see what they can do. You know, they can
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: play on Monday night, so and we'll see if they
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: can continue their season there see home Mariners. They lost
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: to Squalicum sixty six to forty six and then lost
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: to Brilliington Edison sixty one to twenty seven. So it's
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: kind of a rough week for the Mariners this week.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: The Squalicum game, they were they were in it, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: it just it just kind of got away from him
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in the second half. The Brillianton Edison game, they just
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you know, they had no match inside for the Tigers.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: The size of the Tigers really and that's been their
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: big thing all year is they just didn't have a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: lot of size, so they depend on shooting the ball,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and if the shots aren't going, it's gonna be a
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: long night. And that's kind of what happened at Burlington
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Edison game. I think there were two for twenty from
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Downtown against the Tigers, So a rough week for them.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: They finished the regular season three and twelve in no
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Northwest Conference, five and fifteen over all. We look at
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker now, the Mountaineers lost to Ferndale seventy seven
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: to fifty five, and then less than fourteen hours later
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: they go down to down I five and play Mount
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Vernon and they lose a really close one, sixty one
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to sixty. I was at that Mount Vernon game because
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: you never know, again with NFHS, if they're going to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: show it. Of course they didn't, so I had to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: go down there and make sure I keep stats live
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: and it was really entertaining. I mean, the Mountaineers scored
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: I think they scored twenty five points in the first
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: quarter and hit I think four threes in the first quarter,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and it looked really, really good. Which is, you know, crazy,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: because they just they just turned around from playing the
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: night before at Ferndale, and the Bulldogs just kept coming
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: back and kept coming back. And I really really liked
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: what Darius Gilstrap did in that game and this week.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, he scored twenty one and nineteen in those
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: two games, had a lot of rebounds. He is he
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: has this kind of energy that's hard to describe because
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: he gets off his feet really quickly and he times
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of offensive rebounds. He just has a way
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of doing that, and especially in the second half of
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the year, he has been getting a lot of offensive boards.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: And kel Reardon had about thirteen rebounds against Mount Vernon,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: so that was huge. But There's been a lot of
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: things about the team that I've really liked, and I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: think they just they knew that those two games would
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: be It doesn't matter. They know what where they're going
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: to play and who they're going to play in districts.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: They just wanted to finish strong, and I think they
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: really did against Mount Vernon. So again, though the record
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: in the Northwest Conference three and twelve and then overall
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: eight and twelve, so the first time they've had eight
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: wins in a season since the COVID shortened year, so
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: it's been a little while. So congratulations to the Mountaineers.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: They're going to try to make it nine on Monday,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that in a little bit. The
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Knuxzack Valley Pioneers. What a week for them. They beat
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Okarver seventy one to sixty two, which is kind of expected,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: and then they take Linden to the limit. They lose
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: by one point sixty four to sixty three. That's pretty
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: scary if you're a one A team looking around and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: you go Nuzack Valley lost to Linden by just one point.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, they did everything right that they could, they
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: made their foul shots. Lynden kind of struggled with the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: line in that game and they were just to one
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: point short. And that's you know, Caden Hugh tink is
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: a difference maker. Brady Ackerman down low. But the emergence
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: of Corey Olney as a scorer has been great these
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: last couple you know, two two and a half weeks
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: where he's averaging like thirteen a game. I mean he
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: was you know coming in you know, two and a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: half weeks ago. He's probably averaging five a game, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: he's double digits now every single week. And that's that's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: been a really nice thing because you know, Tristan Campus
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: is gonna get his points, and especially being six foot six,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: he can score and and and score inside or outside.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And Cole Coppinger is you know, he's probably he's probably not,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the top shooters on the team,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: but he's athletic wise, he could be, you know, the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: best overall athlete on the team. So uh, he can
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: get a lot of steals that can lead to easy
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: buckets and things like that. So boy, you start getting
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: you get another shooter in there, like Corey on another score,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: and then it makes it hard harder for a team
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to defend. So they finished the season pretty strong there,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: six and nine in the conference, ten and nine overall,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what they can do in districts. Bellingham,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: they struggled to Burlington they lost nine or seventy six
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to forty eight, and then lost to Meridian eighty to
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: seventy nine in a highly contested game. I was there
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: from beginning to end. That was a game where it
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: had everything. I mean, it had superstars making superstar plays.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: It had a ton of great shooting, especially early on,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: trading threes for threes back and forth. I had a
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: lot of running athleticism. Then there was some physicalness, there
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: was some chippiness, There was all that, you know, you know,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: a little pushing the line a little bit, and Bellingham
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: took a pretty good lead in the fourth quarter and
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Mariding comes back and win it with a buzzer beater
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: from four feet out. So it had a little bit everything.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: It really showed the emotion and the love that the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: community has for youth sports and high school basketball and everything,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: because it's just the feel that it had. I mean,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: you could you could you could cut it with a knife.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was something electric about that
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: gym that night, and it was great. It was great
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: to be there in attendance. Bellyam did drop that one,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: and they they kind of finished the season limping. But
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, that last game was a great game,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: even though they did lose. I think they finished on
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a strong note. So and it was good to see
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: kin Kaid van Houton play at full strength. He's been
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: coming back from an illness and hadn't played great yet,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: and he had a huge game. I think he had
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: like twenty eight points in that game against Meridians, So
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: he's he's got to be back to full strength or
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: at least pretty close to it by virtue of that
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: appearance that he had at Meridians, so really strong for them.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Harward again as a lot like you know, trying
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: to like I said earlier about taming a wild horse.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is so athletic, and he can finish
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: at the hoop in so many different ways, and and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: he draws a lot of fouls too. I think he
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: I think he took seventeen foul shots in that game
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: against Meridian, So that you know, that's a that's a
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: great thing, especially when you go into the playoffs. And
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: then Harmon Winkers made five to ten from Downtown, so
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: you cut all the all all the different components for
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: a great team. They did drop that game to prom Meridian.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: They finished the season six and nine in conference play,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: eight and twelve overall. But I tell you what, they're
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: going to be a tough out in districts, and they're
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be playing some of these there might be playing
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: some of these teams that are better seated than them
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that they actually defeated. Uh So we'll just have to
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: see Bellingham. Sometimes you just kind of never know, but
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: they do have the potential to put up some big
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: time numbers. Ferndale just had the one game this week,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the Golden Eagles beat Mount Bakers seventy seven to fifty five.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I was at that game for about the first half,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: and they were a little bit sluggish in the beginning.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: They hadn't had school for four days, so they couldn't
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: even practice for four days, and they go to school Friday.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: They played Friday night, and they end up doing pretty
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: darn well, though, Montage saying Joonah Berlowski Hunter Will's kind
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: of the you know, the guys that stir the drink,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: you know, that come in there and do their job.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: But Lincoln Thomas had a really good game. I thought
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: he was great. He played great unselfish basketball, little tip passes,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: little things like that, and he had like six assists,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: and Tommy Mack coming off the bench scoring twelve points.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: But he's also a guy. He's one of those rare
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: players that can come off he can play in the post,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: he can block shots, but he can hit threes. He
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: could just kind of do all those little things, and
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: that's what you love to have with a guy coming
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: off the bench that's about six foot three that can
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: do a lot of those kinds of things. And he's
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: been a real pleasant player to watch this year, and
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for what they can do in the postseason.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I tell you what, every single year, they've just gotten
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: better and better going over these last few years. And
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: so they finished the regular season eight and six in
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the Northwest Conference, ten and nine overall. And we look
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: at the Meridian Trojans now, who had a great week
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: beating Sedro Woolly sixty seven to fifty six and Cedar
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Woolley is they are no slouts. They can put up
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of numbers. So good job by the Trojans
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: to beat them by double digits and then beating Bellingham
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: eighty to seventy nine. We talked about that game a
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: little bit, but you want to look at the Meridian
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: side of it, and Tallon Jenkins. He scored thirty five
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: points in that game, you know, his final game in
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: that home gym, and holy cow, he did not disappoint,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: especially when it got down to it late. I mean
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: they were down by double digits with like three minutes
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: to go, and I've been in that gym multiple times
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: when things like that have happened, and he will just
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: go off and he has no fear. He's got unlimited range,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: and he hit three threes in a row to you know,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: to shorten that gap, and it was just, you know,
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: I'm just not surprised anymore by anything that I see
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: from that young man. He's a great, great basketball player,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: and he brought him to within one. With like five
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: seconds to go. They have the ball, they're inbounding, and
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: you're thinking it's going to go to him or Jager Fife.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Fife is the one inbounding. He gets the ball into
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Pierce Berezzowski, who drives to the baseline. He commands a
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: double team and then he gets it to Trey Alexander,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: but they open three to three and a half four
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: foot shot. It was the only field goal that Alexander
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: made the entire game. It was the game winner. And
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: the great thing about it was that he hits it,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: He's mobbed by his teammates, his classmates come on to
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: the court. It's just pandemonium, everyone going crazy, and I
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: don't even know if Trey even cracked a smile. He's
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: just so even keel and I love that about that kid,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: and it's almost like, yeah, that's what I'm supposed to do.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: I was open, so I should I should make it.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: But I love the admiration he has of the rest
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: of his teammates and and what a play by coach
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Stacy to draw that up. But it was it was
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: really really something because the emotions that he had three
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: minutes prior to that, you know, he kept him in check,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: but he was holy cow, he was not happy. And
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: he's such a competitor and he's been doing it for
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: twenty years and on the boys side anyways, and he
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: did coach the girls for a little bit and was
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a great player and you know, played football at Western
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: and and it's just one of those guys that you know,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I've known him for over thirty years and I'm not surprised,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: but he's he's always in the game. And to call
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: up a play like that and for his kids, dexcute
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: was awesome. So Meridian, great job this week. They finished
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the regular season ten and five in conference play, fourteen
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: and six overall, which I believe is identical to the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: girls record, which is pretty cool. So good job for
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: both of them. Let me nation Blackhawks again. They also
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: started the district tournament and so they get started a
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: little bit early and they played the play and Winner.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Much like on the girls side, they are they're the
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: number one seeds, so they're hosting games and and they
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: they got to play Concrete. And it's so weird because
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: they Concrete was the first game on the schedule and
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: they ended up sending their JV to that game, and
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the JV actually beat the Concrete varsity. So that told
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: me a lot. So this time they actually got to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: play Concrete and they beat him eighty one to eighteen.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Jerome Toby had fourteen steals, Holy cow. And and you
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: know this is because this is now, this is it.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: They're gonna go all out. They beat Concrete eighty one
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: to eighteen, and then they beat Lopez fifty nine twenty nine.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: So they by virtue of that, they will be going
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to the Tri District tournament. But they still have one
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: more game to play, of course, is against Tulaela Heritage,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: where they split those games earlier this year, each winning
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: at home. This game will be played at Leimination on
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night at eight pm. So I tell you what,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: if you want to see some really fun basketball, two
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: teams that know each other extremely well, and that place
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: is going to be packed. It's going to be an
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: amazing venue and atmosphere for that game. You know, to
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: lay the parrotage. I mean, they were ranked number one
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: in the state for most of the year until Lemonation
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: knocked them off. So that's gonna be a great, great game.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Of course, we'll talk about that playoff stuff in a
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: little bit. Elimination sixteen and three. On the season, so far,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Lyndon Christian only had the one game they beat Lake
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: wid eighty four to fifty seven, so they finished with
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: a thirteen and one conference record eighteen and two overall.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a huge win because you know, you
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: the week before you lose to Linden and you had
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: some illness on the team and they just weren't hundred percent.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: And now you are gonna face Lakequid, who is really good,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I mean they are really good, and play them at
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: home and to get them pretty good, that's that's got
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: to give them a lot of confidence. And Gannon Dykshrewho
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: gave us the intro. I scored thirty one points in
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: that game, which included about a thirty footer just before
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: halftime that he banked in. That kid is really fun
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: to watch. There's no holes to his game. Whatsoever he
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: is he is. He is Russell Westbrook, but a better shooter.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: I'll just put it that way. When Russell Westbrook was
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: in his prime, and it is a lot of fun
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: to watch him play play basketball. And and and the
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: whole team, you know, is great and I'm really excited
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: for them and to see what they're a team that's
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: gonna do some damage. And I you know, they're ranked
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: behind Royal right now, and I you know, I don't know,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's correct. I'll just put it that way,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and we'll just have to see once we get down
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: to that part of the season. But I'll just leave
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: it at that. Lindon right now, Linden Lyons had another
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: great week, beating in a cord of seventy two to
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: forty seven and then getting that squeaker against Knuksack Valley
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: sixty four to sixty three. Just doing enough but to
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: finish the year undefeated. You know, people talked about this
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: year was going to be a tough one with losing
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: the guys that they lost and you just you know,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm guilty of it as well, where you just
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: don't bet against Lindon. You know, it's like, what was
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I thinking? They are so darn good And you know
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I heard about this. I got a text. I believe
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: it was Friday night, And it's hard to believe, but
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I guess this is true. The girls and the boy
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: is both finished conference play undefeated. That's the first time
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: in Linden history that they both did it in the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: same year. I couldn't believe that was true. But from
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the source I heard her from, I'm gonna say it is.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take his word for it, but pretty incredible,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: and uh that is I mean, and that's a program
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: that's used to winning, so both sides of the ball,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: boys and girls, so great, great week for Lyndon. And
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: then and it's you know what, getting pushed like that
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: in a game that's sometimes it's exactly what a team
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: needs going into the postseason. So I mean, Linden's gonna
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: use that, and coach Roper is gonna say, you know, hey,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: you know look what, look what almost happened. This could
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: happen at any time in the playoffs. Anytime any team
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: could beat us, we have to play our game. And
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: so that's that's gonna be really fun to see going
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: forward with the Linen Lines, because you know, like I
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: always say, they walk into the gym and it says
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Linnen on the chest. They got five points right there.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: You know, that's just it's they are pretty intimidating and
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: a great, great team to watch, and that does it
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the right way. So congratulations to the Linden Lines boys
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: and girls finishing the regular season undefeated. And let's look
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: at the stat leaders here here sponsored by Acceleration Driving
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: School in London, phone numbers three six zero seven four
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: six four five six seven. You now have someone that
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: needs to learn how to drive, and that is the
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: place to go. I'm telling you. Call up Kevin and say,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I heard about you guys from Walking Preps
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: and this is you know, here we go. I got,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: you know, little Sally and she needs to learn how
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: to drive. Boom, this is where you go. Three six
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: zero seven four six four five six seven. Give them
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: a call Acceleration Driving School in London. And we look
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: at the point the stat leaders and it's a lot
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: of the same names again points per game gan in
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Dykstra of Lyndon Krishan twenty four point seven points per game.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: That is that is big. And I am going to
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: continue these stat leaders throughout the playoffs. So you know,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about averages and percentages and stuff like that,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: they might start lowering a little bit just because of
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: the competition is going to get harder and harder. But
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: I believe, I believe in it. I'm going to keep
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: it going and and we'll see what these these players
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: can do. Rebounds per game Caden Veldman of Lennon Christian
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: nine point seven, still at the same spot that he
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: was last week. And there's a new guy that jumped
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: into second place. I think it was Xavier Kelly from Seahome,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: but still full rebound behind Caden Veldman per game. Assists
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: per game Jerome Toby of lem Nation six and a half.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit ahead again in Dykstra. But steals
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: per game He's up to four point four now after
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: that huge game against Concrete, he's almost two steals ahead
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: of the next guy. So Jerome Toby of Lemonation just
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: a junior, really really exciting player to watch. Blocks per
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: game and field goal percentage per game is also Caden
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Feldman blocks two point three right at that same spot,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: and field goal percentage it actually went up sixty eight
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: point eight percent. He's made one hundred and ten out
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixty shots three point percentage. Brant
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Hepner forty four point eight percent. He's actually it's been
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: going up the last couple of weeks, so he's really
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: shooting it well at the right time. He's made forty
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: seven at one hundred and five from deep, and that
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: is that is so impressive because I mean, he's a
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: guy that could play in the paint constantly and do
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of damage, but when you have to respect
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: that game from the outside, and it is as smooth
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: as a shot as I've ever seen. And I don't
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen a player that when he
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: releases it and he starts backpedaling it because he knows
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: it's in, and I don't know if I've ever seen
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: him backpedal and miss it. He always boy, he's he's
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: just got such a smooth shot. And then free throw percentage.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Jonah Berlowski of Ferndale holds it on his own now
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: he was tied with Talon Jenkins last week, but now
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: he holds it on his own eighty six point four percent.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: He is money from the line thirty eight of forty
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: four on the season, so congratulations to him. They're gonna
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: need him making those foul shots when it gets to
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: the postseason. And let's speaking of the postseason. Let let's
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: look at that right now. We talked about the one
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: B girls where Elimination is going to be playing for
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: the I guess you'd say the district championship, but they've
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: already moved on to the try districts and they will
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: be playing Concrete and that will be on Tuesday at
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: six point fifteen at Leamy Nation, So I'm gonna have
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: to go check them out there. That's that's the girls
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: that we're talking about in the one B District one
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: tournament and then when you go to the one A
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Girls District tournament. Again, was just talking about the girls
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: here Monday night. That'll be the first game. It's a
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: play in game, so winner moves on, loser is out.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Blaine will be at Mount Baker by point fifteen tip
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: off time, and the big question is will Rebecca Sorez
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: be playing in that game? And if she is, that
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: could be a huge sway towards Mount Baker's favor. When
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: they played early in the year, she was playing in
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: that game. I believe that was the last game that
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker won. And you know they had they played
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: some close games since then. They played really tough against
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Nooksack Valley, they had a really close game against Anacordis,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: and since then they've ran into some injuries and sickness
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that and it's been a rough ride
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: ever since. But the winner of that game will move
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: on and played two days later. They play on Wednesday
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: night against Lynn and Christian and that will be at
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: lind and Christian. And you know that's gonna be tough,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: whether it's playing or Mount Baker. Lindy Christian handled both
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: those teams pretty well, so the links and that's what
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: you get when you're the number one seed. You know,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: that's how it works. And so that will be again.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: That will be Wednesday night at five thirty. The other
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: game Wednesday night will be at five o'clock and that
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: will be Meridian at Nuksack Valley. And what a game
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: it was when they played each other the first time.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: That game was at Nuksack Valley the first time, and
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Meridian probably played their best game of the year, beating
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: the two time defending state champs by double digits. So
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Kinsley Neil had a great game that that game. I
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: think she hit five threes in that one, So you know,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: we'll see how the adjustments are made, and that's gonna
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: be That's gonna be an awesome game. I'm still trying
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: to figure out my schedule and where I'm gonna be
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: going because so many games are gonna be going on
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: every night, but that one kind of screams to me, hey,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: go go check this out, and that'll be pretty interesting.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: And then once it once teams, you know, the game
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: that winners and the losers and everything from those games
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: will move on to Saturday, where they'll be playing at
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Lyndon High School. And again that's that fun Saturday where
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: it's like the quadruple Editor and you know it's one
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: of those long days and you know you can bet
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: that I'll be planted there all day, So that will
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: be a really fun one. There great great games, but
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: you know you got to get past this quarter final
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: round here. So so anyways, that's the one a girls,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: if you look at the two A girls. Bellingham will
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: be playing a playing game also on Monday night. They
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: will host Mary's Bille Pilchuck at seven pm. They've played
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Mary'sville Pilchuck the last few years and they have dominated
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the Tomahawks the last few years, so I would expect
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Bellingham to do pretty well in that one. The winner, though,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: gets Lyndon and that's tough. They will get Lynden on
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night at Lennon High School and that you know, hey,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: number one team in the state again. You just want
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: to play and keep on playing. So Bellingham will attempt
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: to do that against the Chamahawks Monday night seven o'clock
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: and other games that will be happening on Wednesday night,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Seahome will travel to Archbishop Murphy to take on the
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: second seeded Wildcats. That'll be at seven o'clock on Wednesday night,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: and Anna Chordis will be at Squalicum. Now, these two
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: teams played earlier in the year. Squalcum got them at
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Anna Chordis, so this one will be at Squalicum Wednesday night,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock. So I think that's gonna be a great,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: great game, but there will be there will be all
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: sorts of fun games to be looking at this week,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: but I think that's again one of those ones where
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, maybe that's the one to go to.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: A couple of non Walkame County teams, Lakewood and Burlington Nison,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: will also be playing, but again not Walkham County, so
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: not walking Preps sorry guys. So the teams from there
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: are The winners of those games will move on to
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon High School where they'll be playing Friday night
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: and in the semi finals. The loser of those games
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: will go into the consolation brackets and be playing home
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: games if you're the higher seed, if that makes sense,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: and that will also be Friday night. So a lot
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: of stuff going on, and we'll keep you all posted.
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: Just keep going to walkompreps dot com and you can
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: read about, you know, each game that happens. It's the
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: only place in Walkam County where you can read and
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: see the box score of every single game in the county.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: If you go to the three A Girls, the games
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: are set, the teams haven't been set yet, so we'll
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: have to see kind of where Ferndale fits in there.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: They might be hosting game, they might be playing at
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: a different another place that will likely be playing on
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night though at seven o'clock they were playing against
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: where they'll be playing unsure as of now, so we'll
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: find that out soon. And and good luck to the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Ferndale girls if we go to the boys side of
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: things now and the one B side. We talked about
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: that with conk with with Concrete, with Lemon Nation beating
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Concrete eighty one to eighteen and then beating Lopez six
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: sixty nine twenty nine. So they will be playing to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Laila Parroentage at Lemy Nation eight o'clock Tuesday night for
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: the district championship. And again they've already stamped their ticket
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: to to try districts, so uh so they'll just be
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: playing this game and from there, uh you know, they'll
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: be going on and and uh a lot of teams
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: end up going to this tried district. Looks like it's
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: like five teams go so so from there and then
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: you keep winning and you eventually make it a state
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: which will be in Spokane for one piece. So good
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: luck to the Lamination Blackhawks. Another huge game against Tulila
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Parentage kind of the rubber matchup here with the third
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: game of the season, you go to the one A Boys,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: and it's very very similar. It's all the same matchups
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Blaine at Mount Baker. When and you go on losing,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: you go home. This will be at Mount Baker Monday night,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock. So the second of a doubleheader between the
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: same two teams. Kind of worked out that way. And
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: so if you're a fan of Blaine and or Baker,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: a great place to go, set up shop at the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Deming Dome, get to watch two games boom boom, and
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: they're both super important. I love these these winner go
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: home games because especially for the seniors, because they're gonna
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: give it their all and that's gonna be awesome to see.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Baker did beat Blaine by twenty points in their earlier matchup,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: but Blaine was without some of their best players. I
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: think it was the only game all year that Josiah
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Weeda did not play in. I don't think they had
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Abdual Chinogi in that game, So you got a couple
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: of double digit scorers that were not playing in that game.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: So Mount Baker will have to be ready for that.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: It'll be kind of a different team that they'll be seeing.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: So we'll see about that one. The winner will end
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: up playing Linden Christian on Wednesday night at seven fifteen,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: So so that's gonna be tough. Again, it's very much
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: like like the girls. You win that game, you get
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: the season gets to continue and you get to face
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: the Links. That's tough. But once you win the game
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Monday night, it's onto double eliminations, so you still do
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: have a chance. Also on Wednesday night, Nooksack Valley at
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Meridian seven point thirty. That game again, that's these games
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: have come down to the game winning shot the last
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: two games we're talking last year in the district tournament
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: and earlier this year with each team winning, So I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: expect that one to be come right down to it.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: That's gonna be an awesome game as well. Boy, these
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: these matchups are making it impossible for me to choose,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: but it's going to be It's gonna be great. And again,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: the winners and losers of these games from Wednesday night
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: will all be playing at Linden High School on Saturday.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: I think tip off starts at eleven o'clock for the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: earliest game and it just keeps going all day. Uh,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: quadruple header. Awesome place. Awesome place to go watch basketball
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: at London. As you know, someone wants to, you know,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: buy me a hot dog. I would love it because
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there a long time. So uh so, yeah,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a great when a tournament. Oh man,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: just just just to turn I just I love all
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: this stuff. It's gonna be It's gonna be fantastic. You
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: look at the two a boys see Home see Home
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: will have to play in that play in game. They
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: will do it on Tuesday night against Marysville Pilchick that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: and again that they played them earlier in the year.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I believe it was the first game of the year.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: The Tomahawks got up early and then the Seelms went
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: on like a twenty five to two run or something
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: like that to finish it off. So uh and the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Mariners have they've gained some some guys since then. They
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: were missing some guys earlier in the year. Now they're
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, they went through some injuries and
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: then you know, some guys came back and hopefully they'll
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: be at somewhat full strength for this one. It's a
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: win and you're in losing, you're out game against Marysville
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Pilchuck and again you win, you move on Thursday night
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: to play at London, which is just you know, it
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's not easy, but at least
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: you're into double elimination at that point. So Lindon will
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: host the winner of that game on Thursday night at
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock. Other games also that night, Bellingham will be
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: at Burlington Netis and they just played them last week.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: It was a tough one for the BayHawks. They're gonna
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: have to find a way to It's gonna be tough inside.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: They might have to hit the outside shots. Of course
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: the BayHawks are capable of doing that, but that might
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: be what they have to do to take the Tigers
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: down at Burlington Netison at six o'clock. Also that same night,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Squalicum will be at Anna Chordis. That game will be
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock. Squalicum right now is they're riding a
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: five game winning streak right now and looking very good
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: doing it and only play six or seven players. So
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: they found something that really works. And you kind of
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: got a guy that can do every single thing. I mean,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Hunter Callaway, bringing the ball down. Ezra Nichols is doing
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: kind of that, the muscle work, the you know, the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: big man work down low. Jackson Hofer can hit a
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: ton of threes. Uh Ty Hoffman is just he does
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: the dirty work. I mean he's getting offensive rebounds and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: he's looking for teammates and assists. He's got super long
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: arms and he's a cross country guy, so he never
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: gets tired. And then Marcus Nixon, I mean, my goodness,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: he is he can do everything, and that's that's what
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: he that's the little thing he can do is everything.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: And he's really peaking right now at the right time.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: And Blake Elston has been a guy who has been
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise for them. He can shoot it, he
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: can handle good good defensively, had a big steal and
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: bucket in that game. Who was that against Oak Carver
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: And uh yeah, so they you know, they're they're they're
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: peaking right now and and they beat Anna Cordish this year.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: That was at home. This will be at Anachordus and
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks can really shoot it. So you gotta gotta
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: defend that perimeter, which you know, guys like Hunter Callaway,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Marcus Nixon, Blake Elston, they know how to defend the perimeter.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: So I think things will go pretty well, hopefully for
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: the squaal from Storm in that one. So uh, those
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: games are all going to be on Thursday night. The
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: winners of those games will play at Mount Vernon on Saturday,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: and then the losers will you know, they will continue playing.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: They will also play Saturday at seven o'clock. It'll just
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: depend on what seed they are if they're hosting or
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: being on the road. So so good luck to those teams.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: And then in the three A boys, it's the same
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: as the three eight girls. Times are set, they just
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: don't have the matchups yet. The Ferndale Boys again will
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: probably be playing on Thursday night, just don't know if
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: it'll be at home or on the road. But hey,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: the cool thing is that they're gonna keep playing. That's
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: that's really cool because they are a fun team to
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: watch and uh, they just they have they have they
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: have everything. They have the size, they have, defense, they
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: have shooting and uh and the coaching is phenomenal. So
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: uh so good luck to the Ferndale and the three
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: A boys District one tournament. And that goes all the
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: way through to the twenty second of February, so that
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: that's that goes for a while, that kind of starts
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: a little later, ends a little later, and yeah, good
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: luck to the Golden Eagles in that one. And it's
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: time to look at our players of the Week and
• 1:07:27

• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Ferndale will visit them in any three any of those
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: three low locations Anytime Fitness. Uh man, they've they've probably
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: sponsored more than anything from walking preps over the last
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: year and a half or so. And that's you know again,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: that's just I mean, they are the reason I can
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: get to games. So we'll just put it that way.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: So thank you so much to Anytime Fitness again. Check

• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: a you know, it's a good thing to do. Go
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: and you can work out anytime. That's that's the big
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: big thing. Girls basketball player of the Week, Man, it
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: was tough again. Lexi Robbins had a good week. Brooklyn Larrabie, Yeah,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: there was some big time players. Melanie Short had a
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: good week. But I'm gonna I have to give it
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: to Finley Parcher from Lyndon again, and I don't know
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: how many times she's won it now three or four times,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: but she is she's the best. I don't I don't
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: know how else to put it. I mean she does.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: She does not have off games or defense this week
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: really stood out as well. She's so good at anticipating
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: the passes, playing the passing lanes and which leads to
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: easy buskets, easy buckets. But she gets the hard shots too.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: I mean she can, she can drive and pull up
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: and do so many different things. She can score in
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: bunches and her outside shot has been phenomenal this last
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: week as well. So Finn Departcher, the sophomore from Lyndon
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: shoes your Anytime Fitness Girls Basketball Player of the Week.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: On the boys side, again, this was really hard too.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of players that put up big
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: time numbers, some in losing efforts, some in winning efforts.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: It was all over the place. But when I really,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: you know, drilled down and looked at everything, I had
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: to go with Tallon Jenkins from Meridian, the senior once again,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: the six foot seven forward. He just he's a double
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: double machine. He can really shoot it and to get
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: those two wins at the end of the year against
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Cidraw Wooley and Bellingham was just was awesome and he
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: had a huge hand in both of them and he rarely,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: rarely takes a seat. I don't even know if he
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: took a break in either of the of those games.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: And I know that he has very, very high aspirations
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: for this team. With the Meridian Trojans, they got into
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: the state tournament last year, they played that they played
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: that Wednesday game, and I'm lucky that I got down
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: there the night before. It was, you know, my first
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: time going to the state basketball to recovering the state
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: basketball tournament, and that was the very That was the
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: first game that was like a you know, nine am
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: game and you know they're playing, and it was and
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: it was one of those you win, you keep playing,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: you lose, you're done. And I felt so bad because
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I knew they had the ability to keep playing. And
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: I really think that Talon Jenkins and and that crew
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: has the chance to do some good things if they
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: can make it there again. They gotta take care of
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: business in the district tournament, of course, but we'll see
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: how that goes. But Talon Jenkins of Meridian. Usually any
