  Speaker 1: senior lineman Cole Terrell for the intro. I couldn't believe
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that he had never done one before. I was looking
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in the you know in the archives and stuff, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I just was like, it's so funny because I always
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: tried to get someone who's never done one, and I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: just cut him in a four year starter. I just
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I probably always just said, oh, I'll get him when
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he's a senior, And now a senior year's you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: winding up, and it's like, holy cow, I haven't gotten

  Speaker 1: So let's go over the box scores. Ten games this weekend,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: big big slate of games. We're just going to go
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in chronological order when they took place. We'll start off
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: with Thursday night, six pm kickoff down at Edmunds District Stadium,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Squalum Storm taken on Edmunds Woodway the Warriors and I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: liked this matchup, but I kind of went into this
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: weekend going this might be the closest game and it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: sure was. No scoring in the first quarter. You know
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams trying stuff out. Last game of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the year for both squads. You know, both teams on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the presfacee of making their round to thirty two for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: three A and two A but just not getting in. So,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like I said, I really, really liked this matchup, but
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: what I would my biggest takeaway from it was just
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: how well the seniors of Squala can play it, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so many of them did so many great things. Avery
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Wiener scored both touchdowns for Squalak and he caught a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: thirty nine yard touchdown pass on a double pass from
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Anson Osby Ornson, another senior. Avery Wiener also on a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: half back pass, threw one back to Cole Burke, the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback the game, thirty one yards and it was just
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: kind of back and forth. Edmunds Woodby missed their first
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: extra point, which made them have to go for two
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game just to tie it up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The pass falls incomplete. Zach Watt had a tremendous game
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: eleven tackles, two tackles for loss, a pass broken up.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Khalil Benta broke up five passes. Again, these are all
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: seniors that really did some great things. Reese Nolton had
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: eight tackles a tackle for loss, so it was great. Offensively,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Asher Osby Ornson led the way on the ground for
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Storm fifteen carries for sixty four yards. He's gonna
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: be a big, big part of their future going forward.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Really love when he carries the ball. And it seems
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: like Squalicum's always had that sophomore running back that stands
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: out and he is no exception. Marcus Nixon was that way,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Javinski Schlembaker was that way, you know. So it's Tristan Smith.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So he's that next guy in line, and he had
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he had a great sophomore year. Expect big, big things
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: from him going forward. Avery Winer eight carries for forty
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: three yards and the touchdown through the air, Cole Burke
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: sixteen of twenty three for ninety two yards. And then,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, Anton Osbornson completed a thirty nine
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: year touchdown pass. Every wider completed a thirty one yard pass.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Anson os Burnson also caught seven passes for thirty yards,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: so he becomes the school's all time leader in receptions
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: in a season, which is pretty impressive when you look
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: at Ben Peterson and Demik Mitchell and those kind of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: guys that have played. So congratulations to him. Asher os
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Burnson had four catches, Zach Watt two, Avery Wiener had won,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: col Burk had won, Little Benta Brock Scammel and Reesnolton
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: all had a reception as well on the defensive side
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of the ball. Like I said, you know, I kind
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of talked about a few of those guys the seniors, Watt,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Wiener and Knowlton and Benta all had really good games defensively.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Brock Scammel seven tackles, one tackle for loss. Asher Os
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Burnson also had seven tackles. Those were kind of your
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: main stays on the defensive side of the ball. Squalkum
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: finishes this season at six and four, you could make
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a case that, you know, they were just as good
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: as you know, about half the teams that made the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Round of thirty two, and they just had they had
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a really good year. I mean I came into the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: year not really knowing what was going to happen with them,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and it was really came down to that Week one
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: loss against Burlington Edison that made it so they were
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: not in that round of thirty two, And you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I just that's just the way that it goes sometimes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And I thought they played really great down the stretch,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you know, beating Anna Chortus and doing some really good
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: things also. And my eyes may have deceived me, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think late late in the game they were able
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to get Bryson veren in there for a couple of
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: plays on defense and he made a tackle. Bryson of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: course tore his acl and the Jamboree their best lineman,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: so that was really devastating for them. But yeah, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just thought it was a really good season for Squalkum.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: They they did a lot of good things and I'm
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: excited for the next couple of years. Yeah, finishing the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: season six and four, really really good year. Let's head
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out to Civic Stadium also night, and this was Bellingham
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: hosting Oak Harbor, and it was all Bellingham early. As
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, it was you know, three touchdown
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: passes in the second quarter alone, as Ben Leonard found
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: three different players. The first one was Milo Wright on
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a two yard touchdown pass, which was great. You know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a player that has caught a lot of passes but
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: never scored that touchdown he does he does it there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And then he found Ky Nelson on a great over
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the shoulder pass Kay Nelson, known for baseball, his first
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: ever varsity touchdown. And then Joe Harward caught an eight
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass which made it twenty one to seven
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: over Oak Harbor at the half. In the third quarter,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Constantine Franz. The German exchange student Das Boot, big left
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: footed kicker, nailed a forty two yard field goal, which
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was really really impressive. He also had some great kickoffs
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: through the end zone. Oak Harbor did score a few
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: times in the fourth quarter, but not that it was
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: too little, too late. I mean it was, but you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it kind of made a game out of it there
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: at the end. They they got a couple on side
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: kicks to keep Bellingham off the field and they were
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: able to just maintain the ball for most of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But Bellingham does come away with a win.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: They finish at five and five, a great accomplishment for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: them playing in the conference. In the game, a Belliam
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: only ran the ball thirteen times. They put it in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the air thirty five times. Ben Leonard was twenty eight
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: thirty five for two hundred and six yards. He breaks
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the school record for completions in a game, twenty of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: them going to Joe Harvard. So Joe Harvard had twenty
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: catches in that game for one hundred and sixty eight yards.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: That breaks the Walkham County record for receptions in a game. Yeah,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I mean it was it was insane. I mean, they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: were just getting the ball dome over and over again.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Harvard also broke the school record for receptions a career
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: with one hundred and five receiving yards in a career
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: with sixteen hundred and seven. And yeah, it was just, uh,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it was a good opponent for them. It was another
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: one that I think I don't think the game was
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: as close as it as the scoreboard showed a five
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: point win, you know, like I said, Ok, Carver just
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: had some big things happened for them in the fourth quarter, uh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: with getting on side kicks and different things like that,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: and going down and scoring and and uh you know,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: went went went for two to try to make it
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: even closer, but they ended up losing by five. On
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, I thought that Caden
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Hamidi and the linebacker had a tremendous game eleven tackles,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: two tackles for loss, Sunny Pal five tackles, a quarterback sack,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a fumble recovery as well. Josh Kroll four and a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: half tackles, ah and he also had a fumble recovery.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Owen Hanstead six tackles, half of a tackle for loss,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Joe Harward six and a half tackles and Calvin van
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Hoffwagen had seven tackles, so yeah, it was it was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a really really good performance by Bellingham. A great way
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to end the season. You know, when you play those
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: week ten crossover games to just get a game in,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you wanted to be someone pretty comparable. I thought it
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: was a good opponent with the three A Wildcats, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Bellingham took care of business there, which was great to see.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see them next year. You know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: there's some there's some high end guys that are seniors
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that are gonna be going that we've talked about for
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a long time. But there's I think there's some eager
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: younger guys that are ready to step up. I know
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the junior high the eighth grade class is really really good.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: We'll see if any of those guys make a dent
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: into the varsity lineup next year, and we'll just have
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to wait and see. I'm pretty sure they'll be playing
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a full schedule where they'll include Linden in the conference schedule,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: which will be a great thing. Lynden Bellingham they haven't
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: played each other in quite a while, and I think
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I was even at the last time they played I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: was back in the Ethan Fields days, so so that'll
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: be cool to bring that rivalry back, and and uh, yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: we'll just have to go from there. The next game
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we're gonna jump over to Friday now, and the next
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: game we're going to talk about are the Meridian Trojans
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: defeating Cedar Park Christian thirty eight to seven. That was
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: at bob Amesfield. I was there for its entirety. I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was up in the booth taking stats, just kind of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: sitting in a little little spottle by myself with a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of equipment, and and uh had had a good night.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I love watching games there. I hadn't been up in
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the booth and cow it'd been a while, maybe maybe
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: fifteen years, ten to fifteen years, stuff something like that.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I'm usually on the field, but I knew I wanted
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to take live stats. Then it was gonna be a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: busy weekend and try to get that story out as
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: soon as I as soon as I could. It was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a fun game to watch, you know. Cedar Park Christians
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: coach by an ex Meridian Trojan, Kurt Roy, who was
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a part of the really really, really good semi final
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: team of nineteen ninety two. You know, for my money,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you could say maybe one of the best teams in
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Walkam County history to not win a state title. The
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: ninety seven Ferndale team probably has something to say about that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Same with the two thousand and four Ferndale team, the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five Ferndale team. There's a lot of Ferndal
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: teams there, but that ninety two Meridian team was really
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: really something and it was it was really What was
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: really cool about it, too, was that they were very,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: very balanced, which they hadn't really been all year. They
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: found some stuff that was working in the ground game.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: They put Pierce Berezowski in a running back, which they
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: hadn't done yet all year. He'd played quarterback, wide receiver,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: tight ends, slot, hadn't played running back yet. They put
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: him back there. He runs for ninety nine yards and
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: four touchdowns and a two point conversion. So they might
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: be looking at each other going okay, but I you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it's not really their strength, you know, as far as
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: their personnel as a team. I do know they do
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like to throw the ball, and so maybe they're at
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: their best when Pierce has split out. But boy, he
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: carried the ball really well. Sort of Strunk had a
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: good game too, fifty seven hard earned yards on thirteen carries.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: So those two guys together did a really, really good
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: job carrying the ball. They ran for one hundred and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: sixty seven yards on the game. They ran the ball
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: thirty three times, which I think was the most they'd
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: done all year. You know, they were without a lot
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of their receivers, and I think that could have been
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a bigger reason why they pushed towards the ground game.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: You know, River Todd's been out for a while, but
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Casey Brennan, with a hamstring injury, sat out this final game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Did a tremendous job as the waterboy though. My goodness,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I mean any time out or stop to play, he
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: was right there bringing water out. And I love to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: see that because this is a kid that was an
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: All Conference first team wide receiver last year. This year,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the numbers weren't as quite there because he was playing
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: injured all season. And when you're you know, when you're
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that caliber player and you're not playing it's a final
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: game of the year, you could be pouting and being
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: bummed and you know, sit there and just feel sorry
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for yourself. But he's out there bringing water to the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: guys that are playing. It really showed me a lot.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I loved seeing that. And so it's the little things
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: too that people see and and so I you know,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to remember that because there, you know,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: there were certain guys that when I was an eighth
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: grade ball boy that I'd see guys do certain things
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: on the sideline. I just was like, Wow, that's amazing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And you never know who's watching and who you're influencing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So you know, be a leader, be somebody that will
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: do anything to help your team. And if you're a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the young ball boys, those kids emulate they
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: there will emulate you. They want to be like you someday.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: So be a great role model. And that was really
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: cool to see that Casey Brennan was doing that, and
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for him to see what he does next year.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I just hope he can get healthy soon because once
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he's at full strength, there's nobody running him down from behind.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So you know, Casey, you get that, get that hamstring going,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you'll be all right, dude. But man, it was it
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: was domination by the Trojans. Defensively, they played great. They
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: had eight quarterback sacks Cooper Marram had two and a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: half of them. Xavier Perron had two, so you're talking
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: about seniors there again. There was a great forced fumble
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: by Griffith Ingram, the freshman. It was recovered by Trevan
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Kraptchew picked up and ran thirty seven yards before he
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: got tackled. Yeah, a lot of really good things on
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, but you know, offensively,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Trey Alexander was twenty of thirty through the air for
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two yards. Pierce Brozowski, who also
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know, like I said earlier, led and rushing. He
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: also had six catches for fifty three yards. Brayden Fisher
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the freshman, four catches for thirty three yards. Well, he
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: really came on, especially at the second half of the year,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: did a great job against the league opponents. I was,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really excited to see his future as well,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: because he's, you know, he doesn't look like a freshman
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: out there. He's you know, he's about six one maybe.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Uh gets catches everything very very smooth. So you got
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: another weapon right there for the future. Cody Balos had
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of catches, as did Daniel Larson, Trevan Crabtree
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Case and kolps or Strung Savior pair and Tristan Purchase.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: All these guys had or Lincoln Purchase. I keep saying
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Tristan Purchase. My goodness, I'm just looking at last names here,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and they all had to catch. But probably the catch
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of the game that everyone was most excited about Cooper Marim.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Cooper Marrim, who has played offensive tackle all year. He's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a converted tight end, but they needed him an offensive
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: line and he did a great, great job. And near
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, they switch out his number,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: put his old number on, and he catches a pass
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and gets big yards, but he gets called back for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a penalty, for a procedure penalty, and I was like,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I was kind of bummed. And then all of a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: sudden they do another They do a different play, kind
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: of a tight end screen and and it was awesome
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: because he caught it and he went all the way
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: scored on a twenty eight yard touchdown. So what a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: great way to end your career. Such a great kid too,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So that was I don't think it could have gone
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: any better for Meridian other than you know, making the playoffs.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I mean seven wins on the year. There are teams
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that they beat that are still in it even after
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the round of thirty two, and that's you know, that's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: too bad, because boy, if there was at large there
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was something like that going on, this Meridian team would
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: be right there and they will be a force next
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: year and you can count on that. I'm really excited
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to see what they're going to do because they bring
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: back quite a bit. So congratulations to the Trojans. Great
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: great year, finishing seven and three, had three cancelations on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: them having to find opponents. They were able to fill
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: two out of those three, so it's just a weird
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: unique year for them. And it sounds like there's a good,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: strong class of twenty twenty nine of guy. You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we talked about Braden Fisher and Griffith Ingram, but then
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: there's you know, Phoenix Castanada, and there's there's gonna be
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys that I think that future is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be pretty bright. So, you know, excited for the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Trojans to see what they do. Let's also go to
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the other game that started right about that same time
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: at six o'clock and on Friday night, and we're gonna
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: talk about the Lyndon Lions who played host at Ferndale
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: High School to the Bremerton Knights, and this game. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: was listening to this on the radio while I was
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: at the Meridian Games. I was kind of getting the insights,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, it was it was crazy because they
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: were with one thing they were really I mean, this
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: was all Lindon. They won forty one to fourteen. I
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: mean it was forty one zero after three quarters. Not
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a big surprise there. I thought one thing that was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: really cool and they did touch on it on the radio,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: was that the first five touchdowns scored were all five
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: different players. And that's a really that's such a Linden thing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You know. They they they have lot they have so
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: much depth, and I almost look at it as like, yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: they have depth, but they have width, like there's a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: lot of there's like you look at just a lot
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: of different positions that have different guys too, so you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: kind of got everything. And Alvaro Mendoza Baty had a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: touchdown run, Malachi Caanan touchdown run, Lucas Logy touchdown run,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Dawson Van Dalen touchdown run, and then Gordy Bedlington ends
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the half with a sixty seven yard punt return for
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, So very very impressive. Dawson Dalen scores his
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: second touchdown in the second half before all the backups
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: came in, and it was it was very very efficient.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Linden ran for two hundred and eleven yards. But the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: leader on the ground is Malachi Canan forty five, Antonio
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Siman who had forty two, and Dalen had forty. Logi
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: had thirty four. You know, Mendoza Baty had thirty one.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So you're talking about you know, one, two, three, four
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: or five guys that had at least thirty yards rushing.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And that's what I talked about with the depth and
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the win. Lucas Logy through the air six of eight
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: for seventy four yards. Wasn't asked to do a whole lot,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: didn't need to do a whole lot. A welcome addition
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: back in the lineup. Danny Bowler three catches for thirty
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: nine yards. I know he's probably not one hundred percent,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: but so cool just to see number zero out there,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it had been a while. It was really great,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: really really great to see Sam Morango, Gordy Bedlington, Brody
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Price and Marcus Kane and each had a catch as well.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: On the defensive side of the ball, I thought, I'll
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: row Mendoza Baty kind of led that defense. Five tackles,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: a tackle for loss and a sack. Yeah, it was good.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Landon Tolsman had a fumber recovery early, Brody Price had
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: an interception. You know, they were just getting short fields
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and they were capitalizing on it and just taking care
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: of business there on out. I thought Jack's Barr played
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: really well, Lincoln van Rye, Austin Postma, you know, guys
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that you probably don't get their name, said a Ton
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and that's on me, but they really they really stood out.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And these are guys that if they played on other
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: teams they could they could shine as well. So I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: was just really happy to see how many guys did well.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: They pick up the big win against Bremerton. They move
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: on to the state tournament now, and we'll be talking
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: about that in the next podcast. I want to say
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it'll come out Thursday morning, but geez, Louise, you never know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Thursday or maybe it'll come out Friday morning. We'll see
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: how I'm feeling, man, I'm just not I'm not feeling well,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: trying to get get through this. I think I'll be
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: able to do it. Here. We still have a handful
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of games to talk about. The next big one. My goodness,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: this was this was kind of the game that everybody
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: was talking about. I was getting updates throughout from some
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: parents that were at that were down there at the
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: inferno Eastern Washington University in Cheeney where the Ferndale Golden
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Eagles traveled to take on the Chenie Blackhawks, who were
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: heavily favored. And I watched some of the Blackhawks film
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: before that game, and I thought, holy cow, how are
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: they going to contend with the speed? Like like they'd
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: struggled with the speed against Mount Vernon. I was like,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: this is this is different kind of speed. And then
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I looked at like the game, like when they played
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Lake Stevens, and even though Lake Stevens got him pretty good,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: they played so hard in that game. And I kind
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of thought, if they played the way they played against
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Lake Stevens, they could compete against Cheenie and we'll have
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to see what happens. And boy they did. I mean
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Cheenie was relying on the big play early. They had
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a fifty five yard punt return for a touchdown to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: open up. It was kind of a partially blocked punt,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: but it did go past the line of scrimmage, so
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I'm calling it a punt return instead of a blocked
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: punt return. They had a thirty yard pick six early on.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I mean they had these big plays where they didn't
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: possess the ball. They just kind of a one thing
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and go. Ferndale was looking great early on, running their
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: wing tea Chenie is not. They had never seen the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: wing tie, or they didn't this year, so it was
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: very foreign to them, and Verndal was running it to
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the best. They probably ran it all season. It looked
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: very very machine like. Things were looking really really good.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: There was a couple of times like they would stop,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: be stopped on fourth down or different things, but for
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the most part, they were moving the football, controlled the clock.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had they ran the ball, they heard
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: they ran. They had the ball for sixty seven plays.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You compare that to Chinie's forty three, so you're talking,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you know, almost double amount of play. So they controlled
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the clock, which was great to see. And it was
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: just back and forth and back and forth and back
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and forth. Elliot Lenson had a big ninety five yard
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: kickoff return in the second quarter to tie the game
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: at fourteen fourteen. Ended up going into the half twenty
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: one twenty one, and then Verndale takes the lead in
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when John Stanneck ran in a thirteen
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: yeard touchdown run. Cheni came right back with the big
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: seventy three yard touchdown run, and that's kind of what
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I was talking about. They were getting these these yards
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: in huge chunks, and the defense that he go back
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: on the field and play quite a bit. And Ferndale
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: had the ball. The game was tied, driving, driving and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: using up clock and doing it just right, but they
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: stalled inside the ten. They had a fourth and goal
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: at the four, and that was when they they went
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to that hurry up what I call hurry up heavy
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: where we've all seen it if you've seen Ferndale football,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: where they sprang up to the line of scrimmage and
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they're just kind of all packed in there and they
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: snapped the ball like as soon as they're set for
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a one second, they snapped the ball and move forward,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and boy, they always get positive yardage out of that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: They're going up there at the four four yard line
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: with on fourth down. It's kind of like, oh boy,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and then they did a play action pass out of it,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'll be asking coach Plankevich later this
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: week and when on you know, when the Gatorade Game
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Day preview comes out. I don't know if they've ever
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: ran that for and throwing the ball, so I think
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that was a great time to do it. Bulliok rolls out,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: he hits Chance Hatchet in the back of the end
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: zone with my goodness, I don't remember the time now,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: but it was a little over a minute, probably one
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: twenty five left on the clock. Ferndial with the go
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ahead touchdown Park and mcmannus makes the extra point, which
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: was huge, made all of them, which made it thirty
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: five twenty eight. But CHENI, you know, Genie's a big
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You blink your eye and they're going to score. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: they were able to get down the field fast. They
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: completed a twenty eight yard touchdown pass with eighteen seconds
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: to go. Timeout is called because they're going to go
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: for two, and they ended up doing a quick pass
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to the right side, kind of a screen pass and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: have the receiver's block and Chance Hatchet came in there
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and just May was like a wall and made that
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: stop at the one yard line. Elliott Lentzon helped him
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: as they finished the job, and they don't score the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: two point conversion and that was it. Thirty five thirty
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: four they try the on side kick, Ferndale recovers it,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and boy, it was you know, I can't imagine how
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: great it was. And it was Jamie Plankovic's two hundred win.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, how cool is that. It's just so many great,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: great things, and just really proud of the Golden Eagles
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: that keep their season alive. And you know, you kind
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of knew that with that win they're probably going to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: get a really tough straw and they got the sixteen
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: seats they'll be playing oday this weekend, but that it
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: was just awesome to see. I thought they played great.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: They ran the ball sixty one times for three hundred
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and fifty nine yards, so that running game was really working.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Elliott Lentzon twenty one carries for two hundred and ten yards.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: John Stannik was the you know, he was the beast man,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: feed the beast thirty one carries for one hundred and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: forty six yards and three touchdowns. Really really cool to
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: see there. Defensively, Elliott Lentson three and a half tackles,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a pass broken up, and an interception which was huge,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: really really cool to see there. It came moments after
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: being stopped on fourth down. There was a play late
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: when Braden Hendrickson stripped the ball at a quarterback sack.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: The ball goes on the ground Righter Bevin recovers it,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: which helps set up that final drive by Ferndale. Yeah,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: just so many, so many great things. I thought the
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Golden Eagles just played. That was their golden game. Man.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: They played so well and again really really proud of them.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Glad they get to keep their season alive and we
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: get to keep following them. Also on Friday night, this
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: was the seven o'clock game. On Friday night, Blaine headed
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: down to Lakewood. Blaine was without a few of their players.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Peyton Bauma, who you know, you could consider maybe their
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: best overall player if you talk about offense, defense and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: special teams, or without him with the finger injury, say
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: who Kenaji was out. But you know, a week ten game,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: you just go out there and do your best and
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: see see what happens. Lakewood. It was, you know, it
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: was it was even early on. It was seven to seven.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: After the first quarter was seven to seven, and after halftime,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Lakewood has a big, big third quarter and they were
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: up twenty eight to They were up twenty eight to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: fourteen after the third quarter, and they even were up
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: thirty five fourteen in the fourth quarter. Blaine scores a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns late, but they just kind of ran
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: out of time. It's another one of those games where
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, if there's a fifth quarter, Blaine probably
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: wins that one or at least ties it up. They
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: end up losing thirty five to twenty seven, but there
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: were some things in that game that I think they're
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: really excited about for the future. Connor Brown through for
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two yards and four touchdowns. He
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: ties the Walking County record for most touchdown passes in
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the season for a sophomore with twenty five. Jacob Kaepernick
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: did that back in twenty eighteen, so and he did
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it in more games. So congratulations to Connor Brown. A
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: heck of a season. And that was kind of what
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: we were I don't know about I don't know about expecting.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: We knew he was a great athlete. Maybe didn't know
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: they put up that many touchdowns on the year, but
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: really really cool that they did. And again he had
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: four of them in this game and that was without
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: his his you know, top target and Peyton Palma. So
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: very very impressive there. Asher Hagey a freshman. This is
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a kid that is a project of all projects. In
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: eighth grade, he was if you looked at like eighth
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: grade track and field numbers, which I do because that's me,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: he would be that kid that's like the fastest kid,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Like he's killing everybody in the hundred meter dash and
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: then he's like ten feet out of everybody else in
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: like the shot put. It's like, wow, that kid is
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: way ahead of everybody else. And he tried out for
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: football for the first time this year as a freshman
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and it's just you know, getting him reps and learning
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: how to just to take a handoff and where cut
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and what to read for and look and read your
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: blocks and cut this way and go like this and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: do this. Well. He got the start at running back
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: and I tell you what, it was the most productive
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: game they'd had all year from the running back position.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: He had fifteen carries for ninety two yards. Kayle Kerwin
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: also carried the ball for eighty three yards. They totaled
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: over two hundred yards rushing for the first time all season,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: so that was really really promising to see. And then
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Isaac Bauma, the little Balma, he had six catches for
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eleven yards. I thought he had a
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: breakout game. Hunter candonoses six catches for ninety five yards
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns. Kay Kerwin with four catches
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: in his final varsity touchdown as well. I tell you
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: what the border rights in the future. They are going
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: to be a force these next couple of years, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I think they'll be even better as the year after,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: as they will then they will be next year. They're
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be great. Andy Olsen is a great coach. I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: really like his demeanor. They got things going the right way. Defensively,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Axel Sheldon had seven and a half tackles. When there's
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: you know, as their season comes to a close. At
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: this moment right now, as we're talking, Axel Shelton has
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: more tackles than anybody in Wauka County. Very impressive. Matt
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Campion had five tackles as well as long as a
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: sack and a half a tackle for loss, very very impressive.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I just I think that, you know, Blaine, Yeah, they
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: ended the year two and eight, but holy cow, it's
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a it's a better it's a really good two and eight.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if I'm getting that point across
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: well enough because you know, I'll be honest, there were
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: people that asked me about Blaine and like back in
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the summer, and I said, I think they're staring zero
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to ten in the face, unfortunately, and that was just
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: not really knowing. You know, they just didn't have a
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: lot of varsty experience coming back. And when they picked
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: up that win against Shelane, that was a huge building block,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: you know, in the in the season because I said, okay, there,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: they just got to win and it was their first
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: home game of the year and they got some excitement.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: They didn't win any of their league games. I didn't
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: really think that was gonna happen, really really tough league,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: but you know, they get that win at Friday Harbor,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and uh boy, they almost had it there against Lakewood,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and I think if you p replay those first two
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: games now, I think Blaine gets wins in those ones too.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So so the future looks Bright for the Border Rights,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and we're all going to be, you know, right here
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: rooting for them too, So it's gonna be really really cool.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Let's jump out to Saturday now, as there was a
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: quadruple header on Saturday. I saw two of them live.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I did not go out to Civic Stadium. I just
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: did not have it in me, but I was taking
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: live stats. I got all set up in the booth
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: up at Blaine High School and just kind of set
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: up camp there. I was there for, oh boy, quite
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: a while. I think I got there ten something and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I was there till six something, so I was there
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: for about eight hours and had a great, great time.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Got to see some not great football. It was just
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the matchups, right, Lindy Christian hosting Natchiz Valley and it
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: was all ELC. I mean, it was just a mismatch
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and you just look at them on the field, just
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: standing next to each other. They were just bigger, stronger, faster.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: But then at the same time, the Rangers turned the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: ball over five times in the first half, and that's
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: just not going to do you any favors at all
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: against that kind of offense, that kind of defense, that
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: kind of team Chris Coyman one hundred and fifty seven
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns on the game. He was just
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: a force to be reckoned with. If Dawson Heinz had
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: thirty yards rushing, yeah it was you know else goes
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: over two hundred yards rushing. They passed for over two
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: hundred yards as Eli Mayberry was ten to fifteen for
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: two hundred and sixteen yards and four touchdowns. On the season,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: he has thirty one touchdowns and just three interceptions with
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: a completion percentage over seventy one percent. No player in
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Walkin County has he gotten, has ever had a seventy
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: percent completion percentage in a season, and he has maintained
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that every single week. There's no reason to believe that
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: he won't keep that up. And a lot of props
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to their offensive line. There was a lot of times
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: when Eli would just stand back there and just look
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and look and look and look, and just he has
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: so much time. And when you give a guy that
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: has that kind of accacy and that kind of smarts
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that much time, he will always make plays. And that's
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: what they did. He threw four touchdown passes, went to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: four different guys. Boyce Robertson, Wyatt, camp House, Caden Veldman,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Dawson Heinz all caught touchdown passes and it was so
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: cool because those are all basketball players, and so is Mate,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: so is Mayberry and Coyman. All the guys that scored
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: are all basketball players, and so basketball season might be
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: put on hold there for a little bit as Elsie
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: continues to dominate through the one A to pick up
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the big forty nine to zero win. There on the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, Tracy Johnson playing the nose
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: tackle spots got in there behind the line of scrimmage
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: with three tackles for loss. Really cool to see. Caden
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Veldman and Gavin Van Lowe were playing the inside linebackers.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Veldman with five have tackles, band Low with six. Veldman
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: also with two tackles for loss, band Low with half
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: a tackle for loss and a fumble recovery. So those
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: were your leaders on defense. Got to see a lot
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: of backups and freshmen come in for Linn and Christian.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Pretty scary to see all those guys because it kind
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: of showed you a glimpse into the future and and
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a big step back for Lyndon
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Christian over the next few years. And so you know,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I know the rest of the Cannons like, oh boy,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: here we go. They're just gonna They're just gonna keep
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: coming at you. And yeah they will. I mean, Lennon
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Christian right now is on and uptick and they're not.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: There's not there's no signs of them slowing down anytime soon.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: So Linda Christian picks up the forty nine to zero
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: win over a Natchie's Valley to continue on in their
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: season to go into the one A state playoffs. We
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: go over to the two way state playoffs now as
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: we talk about the Sea Home Mariners getting the win,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna bring in our coach for that. Coach
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Wood was at the game. Coach, thank you so much
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: for joining me today. How are you doing and doing great?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Tyler?
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: So you were out at Civic Stadium for this two
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: pm kickoff on Saturday where Seahome hosted Sela. And it
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: was funny because when I heard about this matchup, I
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: was thinking, oh, man, Kim Kirk, who does the PA.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: She's gonna get all tongue tied with touchdown Sela or
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Sea Home but she didn't have to say touchdown, Sela.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: This was all Sea Home And what was that atmosphere? Like?
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The weather looked pretty darn good. Oh it was beautiful.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, shoot, pushing sixty degrees and no winds, sunny,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: got the looking down on the field from the you know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: nice big stands and you got some leaves still yellow
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: and just picturesque and yeah, so it was just it
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: is a great, great day for football weather wise. And
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: the Knicksack game was later that that evening there at Civic,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: so so yeah, it was good. And see how Home
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: got some guys back healthy. They rested a good number
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: of starters against Archbishop Murphy, so that was that was
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: good to see them pretty much at full strength. Nolan
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Wright was still shoot, I don't know, sixty seventy percent,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: not not full strength, but everybody else pretty much looked
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: looked good to go, and they they played well. The Mariners,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: they kind of put it all together, and defense was
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: swarming and tackling well, and Sawyer Woods was running the
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: ball behind that offensive line for big chunks, and yeah,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: it was a good, good game.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: They took took the lead first half lead on Sawyer
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: had A had a touchdown, and then their second touchdown
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: was a They were kind of in a cover two
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit Sila was and THEO ran a fade,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: so he's behind the corner and Nolan throws the ball
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and with his kind of you know, hip back injury
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: that kind of affects his not just his running, but
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: is throwing right because you generate that power from your core,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you know, and pushing off. And so they're on the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: far hash and he throws it up. You know, Theo's
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: open and the ball's just kind of hanging in the air.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have his early regular zip on it, and
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: the safety's coming over and he's coming over and he
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: just doesn't get there. And THEO makes the catch and
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: scores a touchdown and and.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: So that was good.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: And then but you know, Sela was a you know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: well coached team. They had kind kind.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Of a you know, kind of a Squalicum esque offense,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: I would call it, and you know, some good design
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: and they had a really a junior running back that
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: was really tough to bring down.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: So they they had some yards, but the Sea Home
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: defense played well and kept them out of the end zone.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: And then Seahome had a nice two minute drill at
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: the end of the second quarter and got it down
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: for a thirty some yard Bain Mitchell field goal. So
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: it's seventeen to nothing at half, you know, so it's
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: not a blowout at half whatsoever. But so it's competitive there,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and then the second half they just kind of turned
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: it on.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they score four touchdowns in the second half, making
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: a forty five zero game. Three rushing touchdowns in the
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: third quarter, another deep past the field quickle in the
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. You're so right about that. When you're facing
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: a cover two defense and if you're not quite sure
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: what to cover two is, the two step safeties kind
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: of have the zone on each half of the field
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: deep and usually and then the corners usually, especially like
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: the Tampa two are they don't you know, you're only
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: going to cover so much and then you let that
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: receiver go right past you. So there is that small
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: window on each sideline and if the receiver is running
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: a streak to just hit their guy right then before
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: the safety can get there. So I can imagine you
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: as a coach seeing the Cover two the ball floating
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in there, knowing exactly like, oh, this is this is
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the throw you don't want, but it ends up working
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: out for the Mariners. As you know, Nolan Right feel
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: quiggle pretty good at what they do. Also, on that
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: long touchdown pass, Nolan Right becomes Walkom County's all time
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: leader in career passing yards. Seems like he's breaking records
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: left and right all the time. I think this is
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: the last one he can break. He obviously already held
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: all the school records and different things like that, now
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: breaking the county records. Really glad to see him moving
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: around up and playing. I don't think the Seahill Mariners
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: punted at all. Curious if he can punt. I know
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Lockey punted last year for Squalkum, so he can do
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: that in a pinch if needed as well. But yeah,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: I mean it was just a great overall game. I
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: thought the d fence played fantastic. Three interceptions, a couple
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: of sacks by Logan Rogers. Lockie also had a sack,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: fin Sites, Greg Wire had a sack, a lot of
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: different stops behind the line of scrimmage, Carter Duckworth with
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: a fumble recovery that was forced by Logan Rogers. It
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: was just a great like all three phases type thing.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: But then you can dig deeper and say the pass
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: coverage was great, the the run stopping was great, the
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: you know, the field goal at the end of the
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: half was great. Running game, passing game. I mean, you know,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Nolan Wright completed seven passes, but they were averaging twenty
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: eight yards of completion because these big time plays and
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: it was it was just kind of I kind of
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: felt like the Mariners were I don't want to say
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: proving a point to people, but you know, they were
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: able to host this Round A thirty two game, and
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: they showed kind of the reason why they were able
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to host. They play in a really tough conference.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everything you said is is true. It's uh,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of that. And we've talked about it
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: a bunch and obviously I've talked about it being the
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: coach when those guys are freshmen and that sort of thing,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: and just happy for those guys and they're kind of,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: you know, on a mission because this second season now
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: you know, they're in the playoffs, so it doesn't matter
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: that they couldn't quite get over the hump against Lyndon
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: or Anti Cordis, and you know, that was a tough game.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Against LC to drop that one without THEO there, but
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you know, they're all their goals are still still in
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: their sights and they have a you know, pretty good
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: resolved to keep it going. And now that they're in
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, you know they have that that ability. I
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: thought the secondary played pretty well, probably their best game
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: at least in a while. With Nikki Smith was bad.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: He had an interception. Obviously, Hudson nef is big filling
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: from the safety, but also he had an interception.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: So he's he's that that guy that.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Can can do both things so well from a safety position.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: And then al Miller was playing corner. Him and THEO
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: were kind of rotating at corner on the other side
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: of Nikki Smith and he had an interception. So secondary wise,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: that was that was good to see from Sea home.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: And then the backers they have backers were filling and
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: the d line, so you know, they they drew. It's
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: kind of weird because they drew the same team in
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the playoffs in the now we're in the round of
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: sixteen state playoffs and so they're the nine, so they
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: have to travel again to Othello over across the mountains.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Good program.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: It was a real close game last year that Sea
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Home won, So it's gonna be kind of same situation.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: I think. You know the weather. I actually looked at
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the weather. It looks like it's in the forties.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: So not too cold.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: But it is a grass field, which is kind of
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: unfortunate just because it's for both teams. You're not playing
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: on the best surface. But you know, that's that's the
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: way it is in their district. They decided that's allowable
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: in the round to sixteen, So so that'll happen, and
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there'll be a pretty big crew of parents
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: and students heading over to cheer the Mariners on to
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: try to keep going in the around to sixteen.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what's even crazier is is the same opponent.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: It's the same location, playing on Saturday afternoon again, this
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: time at four o'clock. And it's also the same eight
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: to nine matchup. It was an eight to nine game
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: last year, I believe because Ciom did win that game.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I believe they went for too late Andre Watson with
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: a two point conversion. They win that game. And then
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: they had to go in on the road to face
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: number one ranked Tumwater last year, and and uh I believe.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm just kind of recalling it. I can't remember
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: if they were if tom Ware Tumwater was ranked one
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: last year or not. I think they were, and so
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and then that that's kind of where their season ended.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: And now they're looking at it as if they.
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: Win this game against Othella on Saturday, they'll be facing
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: the next number one ranked team, which is Archbishop Murphy, which,
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: you know, the first game, like you said earlier, there
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: they were without many of their two.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Way starters and so it's you know, it could be
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: a completely different game Walt White Sea. But uh, but
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: it was good to see kind of, like you said,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: everything happening. The DB's were awesome. I thought Devin Bankston
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: played great too. Yeah, for sure. You know that when
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: when you look at this, this this core senior class,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of underclassmen that you're looking at
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to There's just not a lot of spots for underclassmen
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: to fill. And when you look at Devin and when
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: you look at Nikki Smith, you start and Logan Rogers,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you know you're going, Okay, these are the guys they're
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: gonna lean on next year. You know, Eli as Lada,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: there are certain guys that they're gonna have to really
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: lean on because you start rattling off the big names
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: and it's senior, senior, senior, senior. There's so many seniors
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: on this team, and which is kind of leading towards
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: this great run that they're having, because you know, a
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: senior heavy team is always a great, great thing. But yeah,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: we'll be rooting on the Mariners from afar. I'll be
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: about I don't know, hour and twenty minutes away, something
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: like that, out at the Yakama sun Dome on Saturday afternoon.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: I always wish I could find a way to just
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: kind of buzz over there, even if it's just to
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: go there and get a picture and come back. I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: just my time is limited, so we'll have to see
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: how that all goes. But yeah, it's gonna be a
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: good one. Coach, thank you so much for joining me
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: on the coach's corner, and hopefully we'll be able to
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: talk later on in the season.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the other thing I was I'm gonna
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: point out real quick and IM sure I was pretty
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: sure everybody's seen the scores was Northwest Conference did quite
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: well in all levels. Ferndale got to win upset on
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: the road at Cheney. All the one a's won and
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: the Scadget Valley teams won except for Mount Vernon. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: think Mount Vernon dropped but quite quite well with the
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: conference teams. So the two a's got five in Ferndale
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: in for Ferndale, Sidro for the three a's and then
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: the one a's. The three top seeds.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Are all in.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool to have the s Gadget and
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Walcome county teams for sure in the round of sixteen
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: for the state tournament. And this I think last year
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: actually was a seven to ten and I think Seaholme
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: was the ten they won and then they had to
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: get I think tum Water was the twos was defending
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: champs as the one right.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I was thinking that as I was saying it, Yeah, yeah,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: that definitely makes sense. And you're right about you know,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the North the Northwest Conference. I think more than half
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: those wins were shutouts too, So you know, Ana Courtus
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: getting the shout out, stee Hom getting the shut out,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Baker getting the shut out, Lennon Christian getting the shut out,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: very very impressive in the round of or in the
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: you know, the district round or whatever you want to
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: call it. Round of thirty two, round of twenty four,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: depending on your classification. So yeah, very very impressive, the
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: kind of show. And Burlington getting a shut out too,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: forget about that. So that was great on the road.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's really really shows the depth of
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the of the conference and boy, it's so so so
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: strong and love seeing that. And I'm just really glad
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: for the round of thirty two and the round of
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: twenty four because you're getting the best teams into the
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: state playoffs. So yeah, it's great to see and it's
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: only going to be better football from here on out.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: So thanks a lot, coach. We'll talk to you later. Great,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks Tyler, awesome, Thank you so much. Coach would always
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: loved talking to him and getting his insight. Sounds like
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the Mariners played that, played a complete game there and
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: are moving on now to the two way state playoffs.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to Blaine High School. The next game
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: of the day was at four pm start as Mount
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Baker hosted the Wappato Wolves, and boy, it was all
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker early and often, as they put up fifty
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: points in the first half alone. Bryce Cooper with three
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in the first quarter alone. Did a lot
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: of really good things on defense as well, three interceptions.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Kien Retasell intercepted it what looked like a screen pass.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Jet Ross had an interception on the one time they
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: tried to throw it deep, and NOx Smith had an
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: interception to close the game out. Kien Retas also with
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: two and a half tackles for lost. Kel Reardon was
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: all over the place. He had a sack, he knocked
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: down another pass the line of scrimmage, had another half
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: a tackle for loss to go with six tackles total.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Know one to Cole Mills with two more tackles for loss.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I mean it was Aaron Torres was awesome. Three four
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: tackles on the game, three of them behind the line,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: with two run plays and a quarterback sack. Mount Baker
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: right now is looking scary. They have two shutout wins
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: in a row. One of them was against Omak, who
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: is in the round of twelve. It's a possibility that
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: they could face them again as they wait the winner
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: of Omak and Rochester. But yeah, it's it was. It
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: was all mout Baker. I mean, they averaged just under
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: ten yards of play for the entire game, that is,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: with backups coming in in the second half. Bryce Cooper
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: twelve carries for one hundred and forty eight yards and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: the three touchdowns. Gage Smith just the three carries, but
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: a total seventy two yards with them, including a touchdown.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: One to Cole Mills with forty six yards rushing, Camden
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Moo with thirty three yards rushing, Andrew Monteeth had thirty
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: to Gunner McGrath had nineteen yards rushing and a touchdown
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: run his first varsity touchdown. Trey Galbreth, the third string quarterback,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: came in and he had a nine yard carry on
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: his first play and we did it with the with
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the Toga wedge, but he called it the I'm going
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: to call it the tray wedge, and he did a
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: good job there. Jaden Nicole Mills even came in and
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: had a nine yard carry. Toga was five to ten
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: through the air for ninety nine yards. His favorite target,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Jet Ross with three catches for seventy three yards including
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. It was just complete domination by Mount Baker
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Mountaineers and because of it, they will also get to
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: rest this upcoming weekend, as will Lennon Christian await their
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: opponent for the weekend after so great job by the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Mountaineers and they move on. You know, Walking County just
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of shutouts and it was it
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: was good to see. It was really good to see.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Plus a lot of those gadget teams was shutouts with
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Anna Cordis and Burlington and so it was it was good.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It was a really good weekend, really really good weekend
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: for the Northwest Conference as a whole, that's for sure.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: The final game we're gonna talk about is the Nuksack
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Valley Pioneers defeating their rivals, the Kings Knights forty nine
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: to thirty four. Over the years, so many great games,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: whether it be in the playoffs or the regular season.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Of course, here they are meeting in the crossover round
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: to get into the state tournament and Kings was up
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: seven to zero. There was a lot of mishaps early
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: on for the Pioneers where you know, right away even
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: the first punt, you know, after forcing a three and out,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: they get Kings to punt and there is just a
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: mishap on that play. Kings recovers it and then they
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: go down and score a touchdown. Nuksack Valley returns the kickoff,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: insuing kickoff or touchdown, but it gets called back, and
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: then they scored another touchdown that gets called back. And
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: but in the second quarter things weren't getting called back anymore.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: They scored four touchdowns in that quarter. You know, they
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: tied the game up. Jackson Hester caught an eight yard
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Evan Brown and then right after that,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Jayden Jones had interception near midfield and that was or
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: brought it to midfield, and that was I thought was
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: kind of the turning point. They were able to on
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: the very next play throw a you know I call
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: like a it's the Marshall Folk play really where the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: running back comes out of the backfield, probably with a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: mismatch on him and just goes just a go right
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: down the middle of the seam there and throw throw
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: a go to him. And Trevon Skeinster ran down. Evan
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Brown got it to him fifty six yard touchdown pass
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: and then after that King's punts they get him down
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: to the one yard line. Trevon Skeinster's carries gets them
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: out of the goal line area, and on the next
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: play he busts one for ninety four yards. Cole Coppinger
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: had a couple of touchdown catches. Trevn Skeensterer had four
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: touchdowns on the game. And this is a player that
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: was playing JV in September for most of September. So
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: you know, these two teams playing each other earlier in
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: the year, but there were just different teams at this
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: point in the season. Nickxac Valley ran the ball for
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy four yards through for two hundred
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: and forty two, so they were very very balanced. Looked great,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: you know. They they allowed some touchdowns late, but Kings
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Kings can chucking around a little bit. They threw for
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty six yards. They did a good job,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: but it was just too little, too late. On the
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Brian Laierley, my goodness, two
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: more sacks gives him nine on the season, which leads
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Walkham County. And he's been a terror, you know, seven
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: and a half tackles too. He had a pass broken up,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: really good to see and then I thought it was
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Max Lattenbach, Jackson Hester and Andrew Dugger. I mean, those
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: guys all year have just gone out and played great
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: games defensively. They all had like seven tackles each and no,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: no surprise there. Those guys just put up numbers and
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: now they got the job done. Tyler Martin unfortunately was out.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: He does a lot of things offensively, defensively, special teams.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: You know, he's the kicker, he kicks off, he returns punts,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: he's a free safety. They had guys stepping up and playing,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: you know, and and you got the you got the
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: little the little lairly, the freshman coming in and kicking
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: extra points, and he did it. He did a good job.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: And that's a lot to put on a freshman. And
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, it's the same kick that he does,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: you know, in a JV game or a C team game,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: But Evan Lairley, you know, it's it's a different atmosphere.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: You're doing it under the life. It's completely different. And
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: it was really good to see he did a good job.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: He missed one, but I think he made one two, two, four, five,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: So a good job there. It was good to see
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Dane Ackerman back out there, so you know, it was
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: it was a great win for for the Pioneers. Keep
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: it a season alive. They get to host again at
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Civic Stadium, this time against Life Christian Academy on Saturday.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: We will talk about that in the next podcast, but
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: that's your breakdown of these games Walking County with a great,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: great showing he was. I was just really really happy.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Week tends always just a funky week because you got
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: all these different feelings going on where it's the last game,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: no matter what in a crossover, you know, how up
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: are they for that game, or you got to do
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: or die situation, or you got mismatches. You got all
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: sorts of weird stuff going on. So you know, my
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: head was just exploding all weekend with all sorts of
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: different things I got behind. You know, I got a
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: couple of stories out on Monday, which I never do,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: so I apologize for that, and I'm thankful for all
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: your patients for everything and waiting for stuff. And you know,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: nobody reached out and said, hey, when are you gonna
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: put this story out. I think everyone understands that I
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: will get it out. You just you know, you just
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: got to give me some time every once in a while,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: and eventually everything did come out. So I'm very happy.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: Starting to get caught up a little bit and I'm
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: very happy with, you know, just the ability to be
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: able to do this for this community. It's it's oh,
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: it's awesome. I just I love it. So let's get
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: to the players of the week and that means sponsors
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and all that. We got four players of the week
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: to talk about. The first one will be offensive and
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk Phoenix Coffee. Phoenix Coffee is located at
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: eleven bell Weather Way at Sweet one oh four in Bellingham.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Give him a call three six zero seven to win,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: five one zero, five zero. This is a player that
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: has won it earlier this season, it wasn't too long ago.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go with the Seahome running back Sawyer Woods
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: with twenty six carries for one hundred and ninety two
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns. You know, some some Statistisians had
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: him for over two hundred yards, which is great. I
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: saw that it was reported that he became the first
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Sea Home player ever with three weeks in a row
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: or three games in a row because he didn't play
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: last week to rush for over two hundred yards, which
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: is not true. This happened justin Santos finished his junior
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: year with three straight two hundred plus yard games. So
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure where there I tell him
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: what they say, Yeah, it must be a school record.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Let's just say that. Well it wasn't, but he still
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: had an amazing game. Uh he went over a thousand
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: yards on the season, which is great to see. And
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: you know he was the bell Cow as they say,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: twenty six carries, one hundred and ninety two yards, three touchdowns.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Saw your Woods of Seahome is your Phoenix Coffee Offensive
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Player of the week. Let's go over to defense. Defense

  Speaker 1: I might be heading over there soon. And here's people
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: are like, Tyler, you don't really have a lot of hair. Well,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: I gotta get it kind of nice looking because I
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: got a wedding to go to in about a month,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: so so yeah, I will check them out, get a
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: few of the hairs I have left kind of trimmed
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: up and looking sharpen. And that's where I would like
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: to go. It would be Max Hair Studio. You gotta
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: check them out the Bellis Fair Mall. The Max Hair
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Studio Defensive Player of the Week is Squala Cum Senior
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Zach Watt. You know, he played, I want to say,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: he plays like he plays every game. He goes all out.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: He's just that kind of player. But you could just
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: feel that this was it for him. He knew this
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: was his final game no matter what. And boy, he
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: really came out and played great. Eleven tackles, two tackles
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: for loss, a pass broken up, and those two tackles
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: for loss came on back to back plays. And it
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: was a really close game throughout against a team that
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: was probably bigger and faster than you. So you know,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: they overachieved in that game. They got the win. Zach
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Watt of Squalkum as your Max Hair Studio Defensive Player
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: of the Week. That's like a Special Teams the Pets
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week. And again
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: it's so weird because there's some weeks where not a
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: lot happens on special teams and you say, well, who
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: made the most extra points? Okay, let's go with him,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: and this week it was. Of course, there's guys all
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: over the place to do things the special teams. That
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: makes it tough, but you know, and special teams of course,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Pet's Real Estate. There your preferred

  Speaker 1: real estate agency in Walkin County. Check them out at
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: hets real Estate dot com. That's Petz real Estate dot Com.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: And there was a lot of good things, you know.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Baine Mitchell made all his extra points and a field goal,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: a knock. Smith had a bunch of extra points, and
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: he scored on a two point conversion, kind of the
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: weirdest way you could possibly do it. His kickoff's pretty
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: darn good as well. I thought Evan Lairley is the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: freshman coming in, did really job kicking the ball. You know. Uh,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: Gordy Bedlington had that punt return for a touchdown, But
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going with Elliott Lentson out of Ferndale that ninety
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: five yard kickoff return against Cheenie that tied that game
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: at fourteen fourteen. You know, if he doesn't do that
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: and end up punting and then Chenie scores and makes
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: it twenty one to seven, that's a totally different game.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: But his touchdown made it fourteen to fourteen, and I
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: think it really instilled that confidence and gave that momentum
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: towards the Golden Eagles. So yeah, it was a touchdown.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: It was great, but it was kind of what it
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: represented in the game of importance for the Frindo Golden Eagles.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: So Elliott Lentson the Junior is your Pets Real Estate

  Speaker 1: If they're not, maybe you won't get a list this

  Speaker 1: year because a little bit of negativity comes with that
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: as well. But the Offensive Lineman of the Week, brought
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: to you by Anytime Fitness is Meridian senior Cooper marm
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: This is a guy that's you know, from from day
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: one to the end of the season. Has probably been
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Murdin's most consistent offensive lineman. They end up running the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: ball a ton this past week. He's a big, big
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: part of that. And then at the end of the
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: game he switches Jerseys, puts on his old number six
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: and catches a touchdown pass of twenty eight yards. So
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: how awesome is that you reward the kid for you know,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: doing that all year? You put him out, you give
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: him a pass pattern and he scores a touchdown. That's
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: just a what a way to go out. That's a
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: really really cool deal. When Cooper Mam writes his autobiography
• 1:02:15
