- 0:33Speaker 3: It's kind of been a crazy weekend, but we're here
- 0:36Speaker 3: to wrap it all up and finally get a little
- 0:39Speaker 3: dry from that Friday night. I know that anybody who
- 0:42Speaker 3: went out to a game, you know, came home soaked.
- 0:45Speaker 3: And I specifically was, I don't have rain gear or anything.
- 0:48Speaker 3: I need some really bright Walkham Preps rain gear. I
- 0:50Speaker 3: think that would be that'd be perfect. But uh boy,
- 0:53Speaker 3: and I got by the time I got home Friday
- 0:55Speaker 3: at night, I was I was throwing everything into the
- 0:58Speaker 3: washer and getting dry. Close was on and went right
- 1:01Speaker 3: to work. So it was it was pretty pretty crazy
- 1:04Speaker 3: out there.
- 1:04Speaker 2: For you know, what you need to do. You need
- 1:06Speaker 2: to go to like Dick Sporting Goods and get some
- 1:08Speaker 2: of the like waterproof hunting gear, you know, like the
- 1:11Speaker 2: bright orange hunting gear where you look like a traffic cone,
- 1:15Speaker 2: you know, and get out there and and have somebody,
- 1:19Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe get a walk Come Preps T
- 1:23Speaker 2: shirt or something and cut the logo out and then
- 1:25Speaker 2: glue it on or something. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah,
- 1:27Speaker 2: I'll figure because it's like rubber, so I don't think
- 1:29Speaker 2: you'd want to like heat it up, you know what
- 1:30Speaker 2: I mean, And you don't want to You don't want
- 1:31Speaker 2: to stitch it because you don't want to cut holes
- 1:33Speaker 2: into the rubber, you know, so exactly. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:36Speaker 2: I don't know how you do that, but you got
- 1:38Speaker 2: to find a way. Hey, let's give a thank you
- 1:39Speaker 2: to Kolby Martin Kooksack Valley Senior for the intro. H.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I feel like we're getting around the county pretty good, Tyler,
- 1:45Speaker 2: in terms of making sure every team is kind of covered.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Between this and the other podcast, it's like we're picking
- 1:50Speaker 2: up all kinds of different teams kind.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Of I'm always trying to think, like, Okay, who have
- 1:54Speaker 3: I Maybe I'll get this kid. Well, we just did
- 1:56Speaker 3: a kid from that school two weeks ago. It's like
- 1:58Speaker 3: I'm really really trying to hit all the schools as
- 2:01Speaker 3: much as possible. And it's funny too because in getting
- 2:03Speaker 3: Colby's intro, I actually messaged a couple of kids and
- 2:08Speaker 3: I heard back from both of them, but Colby was
- 2:10Speaker 3: just like a minute faster. So but I got both
- 2:14Speaker 3: the intros and I still have another one in the
- 2:15Speaker 3: bank too for later. So you know, I got to
- 2:18Speaker 3: get better at loading up on the intro as early,
- 2:20Speaker 3: so we just always have a ton so I don't
- 2:22Speaker 3: have to, you know, think about it last second. But yeah,
- 2:24Speaker 3: kids usually get back to us pretty quickly with that.
- 2:27Speaker 3: They're pretty jacked about doing the intro.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not great at a lot of things. We're
- 2:30Speaker 2: really bad at getting intros. Yes, Like like you, there's
- 2:35Speaker 2: been many times where you're like, oh, crap, I don't
- 2:37Speaker 2: even have an intro, and it's like, all right, well here,
- 2:39Speaker 2: I got some stuff I need to type into the
- 2:40Speaker 2: show sheet and you're like all right, and then you
- 2:42Speaker 2: text a couple kids or whatever, and before you know,
- 2:43Speaker 2: you got one.
- 2:44Speaker 3: But I know every single time they're like, when do
- 2:46Speaker 3: you need it buy? And I'm like, in the next
- 2:48Speaker 3: five minutes would be great.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's like a crap. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 2:54Speaker 2: let's give it. Thank you to Kurt Mayberry Farm. Kurt

- 3:13Speaker 2: to go over. We've also got the pick'ems. We've got
- 3:15Speaker 2: the players of the week and the fantasy. You're gonna
- 3:17Speaker 2: want to stick around for that one. Let's see here
- 3:20Speaker 2: we can start off with well, you know, normally, Tyler,
- 3:24Speaker 2: we kind of go in like the this game started
- 3:27Speaker 2: at six, This game started at seven. You know this
- 3:30Speaker 2: one though, We're gonna start off with the biggest game
- 3:31Speaker 2: of the week. I mean the game that kind of
- 3:34Speaker 2: the the state was watching. You know, Can Lynden beat
- 3:38Speaker 2: Archbishop Murphy. Archbishop Murphy coming off a big win over
- 3:40Speaker 2: Anachordus last week, they were undefeated, they were I mean,
- 3:45Speaker 2: there's a lot of momentum behind the Wildcats as far
- 3:49Speaker 2: as you know around the state goes and Linden comes
- 3:52Speaker 2: away with a seven to three win at home in
- 3:56Speaker 2: the mud, in the rain. This is and was from
- 4:00Speaker 2: the start kind of Linden football.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean really, the overall view of it for
- 4:07Speaker 3: me was the out archbishoped Archbishop. I mean, they they
- 4:11Speaker 3: ran the ball and they played Archbishop's game and they
- 4:15Speaker 3: just did it a little better than the Wildcats could
- 4:17Speaker 3: do it. And that was super impressive because Linden's been
- 4:20Speaker 3: a little bit more air raid this year than they've
- 4:23Speaker 3: been in recent memory. And we kind of do that
- 4:26Speaker 3: going in with the returner, with the returners like Bran
- 4:29Speaker 3: Hepner and you know, Danny Bowler and Isaiah Adman, You're like, okay,
- 4:33Speaker 3: they're probably gonna throw it a little bit more than usual.
- 4:35Speaker 3: But when there's weather like this, you got to rely
- 4:37Speaker 3: on your offensive line, you got to rely on your
- 4:39Speaker 3: ground game. And they pushed it and they did. They
- 4:42Speaker 3: did a great, great job. I mean they it could
- 4:44Speaker 3: have been even bigger. Early on, Linden went down, they
- 4:48Speaker 3: scored a touchdown, it was called back. They ended up
- 4:51Speaker 3: going for a field goal it was missed. So there
- 4:55Speaker 3: was some there were some moments that Lynden could have
- 4:57Speaker 3: got ahead even earlier by more points. And you know,
- 5:01Speaker 3: Archbishop had they were held to. I mean, they barely
- 5:04Speaker 3: had the ball in the first half. It was Linden
- 5:06Speaker 3: just taking up time and possessing the ball and and
- 5:10Speaker 3: just going behind that huge offensive line. And they've made
- 5:12Speaker 3: some changes on that offensive line. As far as where
- 5:15Speaker 3: people are playing. It's the there was an injury earlier
- 5:20Speaker 3: in the season. He's back now, so everyone's everyone's back,
- 5:24Speaker 3: but it's a little different spots here and there. You know,
- 5:27Speaker 3: the kind of the left guards and the right tack
- 5:29Speaker 3: you know, they all swapt. I mean, Logan Oustry is
- 5:31Speaker 3: still at center, but everything else is kind of moved
- 5:33Speaker 3: around and and it's really starting to work right now.
- 5:36Speaker 3: And you always expect Lindon's offensive line to be great.
- 5:38Speaker 3: They were, And I tell you what, the defense really
- 5:43Speaker 3: really really stepped it up. I mean it was it's
- 5:45Speaker 3: really hard to stop that offense. They were ready for
- 5:48Speaker 3: whenever Archbishop was was going to try to throw the ball,
- 5:50Speaker 3: they were ready for that because a lot of times
- 5:52Speaker 3: the Wildcats can kind of take you by surprise by
- 5:55Speaker 3: by throwing. They were all over that. They're one completion
- 5:58Speaker 3: went for native seven yards, so they were they were
- 6:01Speaker 3: defending that extremely well. I thought the defensive line for
- 6:05Speaker 3: Lynnen was fantastic. They have their kind of their three
- 6:09Speaker 3: main guys Parker Williams, Jacks Barr and Isaiah Harris, and
- 6:13Speaker 3: then they'll bring in their three bigger guys at times
- 6:16Speaker 3: with Zachdikstra and and Blake Holeman and and just and
- 6:21Speaker 3: Logan Oastry and those guys. They you know, they will
- 6:24Speaker 3: come in and you know, if it's getting closer, they
- 6:27Speaker 3: need they need to breathe, they just do the big
- 6:29Speaker 3: line change and that worked really well. Uh, Malachi Canaan
- 6:33Speaker 3: was just all over the place as a linebacker. Isaiah
- 6:37Speaker 3: Aldman had some big plays as an outside linebacker. I
- 6:41Speaker 3: thought Landon Tolsman played really well as as a linebacker,
- 6:44Speaker 3: probably the best game he's played. Just a sophomore inside linebacker.
- 6:47Speaker 3: He's been kind of splitting time with different guys in
- 6:50Speaker 3: that in that spot next to Kanaan, and I thought
- 6:52Speaker 3: he played great. And you know kind of thing that
- 6:54Speaker 3: was really that really worked really well was you know,
- 6:57Speaker 3: playing against that kind of offense, you're gonna bring some
- 6:59Speaker 3: more guys up in the box, so you're able to
- 7:02Speaker 3: bring low Fatigolau from safety up into the box where
- 7:05Speaker 3: he's almost like another linebacker. Well that's where he started
- 7:08Speaker 3: all that's where he played all last year. Yeah, so
- 7:10Speaker 3: it's a perfect fit. It worked really well. He was
- 7:12Speaker 3: in on a bunch of tackles. I thought their game
- 7:16Speaker 3: plan was fantastic. I mean, they were patient, they ran
- 7:18Speaker 3: the ball hard, they didn't they didn't make mistakes. Archbishop
- 7:23Speaker 3: came out strong in the second half, you know, came
- 7:25Speaker 3: down and were driving the ball by far their best
- 7:27Speaker 3: drive of the game, and I thought, wow, okay, they
- 7:30Speaker 3: could tie it up here. They end up selling for
- 7:32Speaker 3: the field goal, and that was all they could really
- 7:35Speaker 3: muster up. You know, here's another crazy thing is how
- 7:40Speaker 3: often does a team score seven points, wins the game
- 7:44Speaker 3: and doesn't punt.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually pretty impressive.
- 7:48Speaker 3: That's a that's a unique. You know, usually, if you
- 7:51Speaker 3: score seven points and you don't punt in that game,
- 7:54Speaker 3: you're probably not going to win. You're probably turning it
- 7:56Speaker 3: over on downs constantly, or throwing a lot of interceptions
- 7:59Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But that wasn't the case.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Really.
- 8:01Speaker 3: The big the big hiccup they had was on a
- 8:04Speaker 3: on a punt return, you know, it was dropped and
- 8:06Speaker 3: Archbishop fell on it. But other than that, it was
- 8:10Speaker 3: just steady, you know, very very patient football. And at
- 8:16Speaker 3: the end when they needed to kind of run run
- 8:18Speaker 3: the clock out, you know, you're playing against the Wildcats.
- 8:21Speaker 3: What do you do? You go to your own Wildcat,
- 8:22Speaker 3: put Isaiah Oudeman in at quarterback, and all of a sudden,
- 8:27Speaker 3: you know, you get the same big kid back there,
- 8:29Speaker 3: you know, not as big as as Hepner, but not
- 8:32Speaker 3: not far from it. And then he's got a little
- 8:34Speaker 3: bit more burst than yeah he's got he's got a
- 8:36Speaker 3: little more burst than Hepner does too, So as soon
- 8:39Speaker 3: as he runs the ball and he's you know, pretty fresh,
- 8:41Speaker 3: even though he's been playing both ways the whole game,
- 8:43Speaker 3: it's a little different.
- 8:44Speaker 2: You know.
- 8:44Speaker 3: He can burst through for six or seven yards and
- 8:47Speaker 3: then when they picked up that final first down they
- 8:49Speaker 3: were able to kneel it down. Put put Brent back
- 8:50Speaker 3: in there for that. But what what a great game,
- 8:54Speaker 3: you know, And what it does now is it brings
- 8:57Speaker 3: that three way tie for the conference up at first
- 9:00Speaker 3: place now. And and you know, I don't I think
- 9:04Speaker 3: everybody kind of saw these three teams as the best
- 9:06Speaker 3: teams and thinking, okay, those those three should get into
- 9:10Speaker 3: the round of three two with whoever the fourth will
- 9:12Speaker 3: be and but it's it's it's pretty cool that they
- 9:16Speaker 3: all beat each other and uh and they're they're going
- 9:20Speaker 3: to share that conference title if everything goes as planned
- 9:23Speaker 3: for the next few weeks. Obviously there could be other
- 9:25Speaker 3: weird things that could happen. I mean Mount Vernon did
- 9:28Speaker 3: beat Sedro Woolley last on Friday, so you never know what. Yeah,
- 9:33Speaker 3: so I'm not I'm not at Sigo's first loss. And
- 9:37Speaker 3: and you know how good Mount Vernon is. I know
- 9:39Speaker 3: you rave about them.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Yeah, they're terrible.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Well I was those are yours? A Ryland Spencer said.
- 9:45Speaker 2: That, I'm sorry. I saw them in week one and
- 9:48Speaker 2: they are really bad.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know how it is week one to
- 9:51Speaker 3: week seven, a lot of things can change.
- 9:52Speaker 2: They're not that team. I'm sorry, I'm sorry man.
- 9:57Speaker 3: So yeah, so anyways, a hugh huge win. Loved what
- 10:01Speaker 3: they did. Super happy for our guy Blake Whitman. I mean,
- 10:05Speaker 3: you know, we've been merciful on him and you know,
- 10:09Speaker 3: giving against the run and now you're playing against the
- 10:11Speaker 3: biggest you know, running attack of the conference and uh
- 10:15Speaker 3: and did such an awesome job and just really really
- 10:18Speaker 3: proud of him and the rest of the guys and
- 10:20Speaker 3: it's you know, Linden at home. I mean, you know,
- 10:22Speaker 3: it's just one of those things. Man, you can't you
- 10:25Speaker 3: can't count them out. And I mean, and as one
- 10:28Speaker 3: of the list, as one of the followers on Facebook said,
- 10:31Speaker 3: nobody had this one right, right, Ryland.
- 10:33Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody wrong, wrong, as Charlie Murphy would say, wrong. Yeah,
- 10:41Speaker 2: And you know, at the end of the day, three
- 10:43Speaker 2: point five yards and carry from Archbishop Murphy. I mean,
- 10:47Speaker 2: I think if you would have told Linden that was
- 10:50Speaker 2: going to be the case before the game, I think
- 10:51Speaker 2: they would have been very happy to hear that. I mean,
- 10:54Speaker 2: obviously you do three point five three times and that's
- 10:56Speaker 2: the first down, but I mean to get to three
- 10:59Speaker 2: point five, there's got to be a lot of them
- 11:01Speaker 2: that are less than that, right, So yeah, I mean
- 11:04Speaker 2: that's that's that's impressive. Well, very good job by that guy,
- 11:09Speaker 2: uh and that staff, I mean just doing a doing
- 11:12Speaker 2: what Linden does, right, Like Yeah, you know, I when
- 11:15Speaker 2: I looked at that game, I just thought to myself,
- 11:18Speaker 2: this is an Archbishop team that has never been in
- 11:20Speaker 2: this position. You know, sure they they won the one
- 11:22Speaker 2: last week, but that was a home game. This time
- 11:25Speaker 2: they're going on the road, the weather is going to
- 11:27Speaker 2: play a factor. You know, Linden has played in this
- 11:29Speaker 2: weather a lot.
- 11:30Speaker 3: You know, they've they've played on natural grass in the
- 11:33Speaker 3: world too.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Yeah. And and you know, let's face it, they probably
- 11:37Speaker 2: play one game a year like this, you know what
- 11:39Speaker 2: I mean. So it's not like we're sitting here saying, oh,
- 11:41Speaker 2: they playing it all the time and no, but they
- 11:43Speaker 2: play in it just enough to know how to do it. Yeah,
- 11:46Speaker 2: And they did it, you know. And I'm sure there's
- 11:50Speaker 2: you know, probably something you know, some some longer studs
- 11:53Speaker 2: or you know what I mean, Like whatever it is
- 11:54Speaker 2: they're doing, they know what they're doing. I saw a
- 11:57Speaker 2: thing one time, Tyler. Do you do you remember the
- 11:59Speaker 2: game a few years ago where the Patriots and Tennessee
- 12:04Speaker 2: Titans played in a regular season game and it was
- 12:07Speaker 2: stalling like crazy, I mean like tons of snow, and
- 12:11Speaker 2: the Patriots came out and threw the ball like crazy. Yeah,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and they interviewed Ernie Adams. I don't know if you
- 12:17Speaker 2: know that name. Ernie Adams was Bill Belichick's right hand man.
- 12:23Speaker 2: He's the guy that did all the behind the scenes
- 12:25Speaker 2: stuff that nobody knew about he said, he knew that
- 12:27Speaker 2: game was over the second he walked out on the
- 12:29Speaker 2: field because Tennessee was wearing like the five stud cleats
- 12:35Speaker 2: or whatever it is, and they weren't. They weren't wearing
- 12:37Speaker 2: the big ones, and they weren't wearing the right ones.
- 12:39Speaker 2: And he knew right then and there that they're going
- 12:41Speaker 2: to pass the ball like crazy because those receivers could
- 12:43Speaker 2: could make the cuts, and the guys on defense couldn't,
- 12:47Speaker 2: you know. And it's little stuff like that, like knowing
- 12:50Speaker 2: those things. Well, Linda knows how to play in this weather. Yeah,
- 12:53Speaker 2: you know, I'm not going to see her knack. Like
- 12:54Speaker 2: they said, Wow, we gotta do this, we gotta do that,
- 12:56Speaker 2: we gotta do this, blah blah blah. But when you're
- 12:58Speaker 2: designing a game plan and you're looking at things and
- 12:59Speaker 2: you're going, hey, we could do this. We do this
- 13:01Speaker 2: all night on them forty three carries, one hundred and
- 13:04Speaker 2: forty six yards for Linden, two hundred and sixty total
- 13:08Speaker 2: yards for the Lions, one one hundred and sixteen for
- 13:11Speaker 2: Archbishop Murphy. I mean, that is that's how you do it.
- 13:15Speaker 2: I mean that's how you do it. You keep them
- 13:17Speaker 2: off the field, Tyler, you mentioned it one pass for
- 13:20Speaker 2: negative seven yards. They went one of three passing, you know,
- 13:25Speaker 2: and when you're when you're in a game like that,
- 13:27Speaker 2: at some point you gotta be able to throw the ball, right,
- 13:29Speaker 2: but Archbishop Murphy can't. And they couldn't, and they didn't,
- 13:33Speaker 2: you know, they kept trying to run the ball. And
- 13:35Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is, well, they were there,
- 13:38Speaker 2: you know they But have I ever told you I did.
- 13:40Speaker 2: I don't know if I did this on purpose or not,
- 13:42Speaker 2: but that sad trombone there is actually a bright green button.
- 13:46Speaker 2: It's like a Linden green button. Like I should take
- 13:48Speaker 2: a picture of this and send it to you. I
- 13:49Speaker 2: just noticed it.
- 13:51Speaker 3: You know, we have to at least we got to
- 13:54Speaker 3: think about this, because if Linden keeps playing defense like that,
- 13:56Speaker 3: we need to have a happy trombone park.
- 13:59Speaker 2: What would have trumbones sound like?
- 14:01Speaker 3: I don't know, there to go? Yeah, the little hockey
- 14:07Speaker 3: song there.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna send you a picture right now, Tyler,
- 14:10Speaker 2: of the of the buttons so you can see it.
- 14:12Speaker 2: It is like the Linden green I mean, it's it's
- 14:15Speaker 2: it's actually unbelievable. I know, it's awesome. Nice and right
- 14:18Speaker 2: next to it is like a Linden yellow. But that
- 14:20Speaker 2: is high school coach lat Brand Hepner twenty four carries
- 14:26Speaker 2: eighty six yards, Max Ousting sixteen for forty seven, Isaiah
- 14:29Speaker 2: Audman three for thirteen, Heppner nine of twenty through the
- 14:32Speaker 2: air one hundred and fourteen yards. Audman three catches forty three.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Lofa Tigelau two catches twenty six, Max Ossin two for seventeen. Uh.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Sam Rango, I mean, obviously his lowest output of the
- 14:44Speaker 2: year expected in this type of weather, but one for
- 14:47Speaker 2: twenty three that's some efficiency. Maybe should have got him
- 14:50Speaker 2: the ball more. I got a touchdown that was called
- 14:53Speaker 2: back to oh, so he could have had two. Yeah.
- 14:57Speaker 2: So they did try to get him twice as many
- 14:59Speaker 2: as as he got absolutely, and then Danny Bowler won
- 15:02Speaker 2: for five. Yeah. I mean, this is gonna be a
- 15:04Speaker 2: theme for the rest of the night here where we're
- 15:06Speaker 2: gonna talk about numbers. I mean, the the the one
- 15:09Speaker 2: game maybe where the numbers were nuts and wild is
- 15:13Speaker 2: is the next one we're gonna talk about. And that's
- 15:14Speaker 2: one that was on turf, so uh and probably a
- 15:18Speaker 2: pretty decent mismatch as far as teams go. But uh yeah,
- 15:21Speaker 2: how about defensive side tyler? Anything over there?
- 15:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I mean I spoke about it a
- 15:26Speaker 3: little bit. But Malachi Canaan nine and a half tackles,
- 15:28Speaker 3: he was all over the place. Landon Tolesma seven and
- 15:31Speaker 3: a half. You know, the two inside lane backers, the
- 15:33Speaker 3: way their big defense is built, those guys are always
- 15:35Speaker 3: gonna lead in tackles. Isaiah Audman four and a half tackles.
- 15:38Speaker 3: He had a big tackle for loss that was on
- 15:40Speaker 3: that that that pass that was behind the line of scrimmage,
- 15:44Speaker 3: and he was right there. He just got those long arms.
- 15:45Speaker 3: He's so strong. You're not gonna fake that kid out.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Uh.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Parker Williams seven and a half tackles again, just he's
- 15:52Speaker 3: kind of that unherralded defensive lineman. When you're when you're
- 15:55Speaker 3: you know, playing in that defensive line. Uh for Linden,
- 15:59Speaker 3: you know, one of those three guys you're just you're
- 16:01Speaker 3: usually not going to get the numbers. It's really hard
- 16:03Speaker 3: to get noticed just because of what you're asked to do.
- 16:06Speaker 3: You're basically just slanting and you're causing you're causing havoc,
- 16:09Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, sometimes you can make a play.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Some guys got some pretty big numbers doing that, you know.
- 16:15Speaker 3: I remember Carter Van Deast was like that. There's been
- 16:17Speaker 3: some guys that have been able to do some things,
- 16:19Speaker 3: and Parker Williams is one of those guys. He's really
- 16:21Speaker 3: starting to get some big numbers. There was a moment
- 16:24Speaker 3: too where Danny Boehler almost had an interception in the
- 16:26Speaker 3: end zone, but it almost looked like he purposely dropped it.
- 16:29Speaker 3: I thought that was kind of weird, and I was
- 16:30Speaker 3: watching the film. It was on fourth down, so and
- 16:35Speaker 3: you know, you've basically just saved yourself, you know, twenty
- 16:38Speaker 3: yards or whatever it was, and if he dropped it
- 16:41Speaker 3: on purpose, and that just shows you the savvyness of
- 16:44Speaker 3: him doing that. You know, you don't see that a lot.
- 16:46Speaker 3: I remember seeing Carson nef do that a few years
- 16:48Speaker 3: ago a fourth down play. Instead of patting your own stats,
- 16:51Speaker 3: you do the right thing for the team. And so yeah,
- 16:54Speaker 3: just really good defense all around. And they really really
- 16:57Speaker 3: flew to the ball and looked awesome. So great, great job.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Again, Lyndon seven to three over Archbishop Murphy Tyler. One
- 17:07Speaker 2: thing I was gonna do here really quickly. Archbishop Murphy
- 17:11Speaker 2: football is Now that we know all three teams are
- 17:16Speaker 2: tied obviously at the top, what are we looking at?
- 17:20Speaker 2: What's left here? So this week? No? Not this week?
- 17:24Speaker 2: Is it? This week? Archbistialp Murphy gets the week off,
- 17:27Speaker 2: it appears huh yeah, so the Archbistial Murphy does not
- 17:31Speaker 2: have a game this week. They they are apparently on
- 17:33Speaker 2: a bye or at least it's not anywhere on the website.
- 17:37Speaker 2: And then Linden they are playing. Is it Lakewood I
- 17:41Speaker 2: believe yep, Lakewood? Yeah, Lakewood. And then Anna Chordis is
- 17:45Speaker 2: hosting Burlington Edison, who, by the way, remember when we
- 17:48Speaker 2: talked about Marysville Pilchuck potentially being a team that could
- 17:51Speaker 2: sneak up on people. Took care of that. Yeah, thirty
- 17:55Speaker 2: four to nothing. Yeah, ugly, But and Lakewood's coming off
- 17:59Speaker 2: of forty three nothing lost to Ana Chordis, so yeah,
- 18:04Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens
- 18:05Speaker 2: the rest of the way. But yeah, that's that again.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Seven to three, Linden over Archbishop Murphy. Let's head out
- 18:13Speaker 2: to Blaine. The border rights take care of Friday Harbor
- 18:15Speaker 2: thirty six thirteen. Tyler and the Jade and Payaz show
- 18:19Speaker 2: just kind of went nuts again this week.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Yeah, it really did. I mean, and he had I
- 18:25Speaker 3: don't know three or four huge runs that were called
- 18:28Speaker 3: back due to holding or whatever, block in the back
- 18:30Speaker 3: calls that were, you know, twenty yards away from the play.
- 18:33Speaker 3: And I mean, I know, I understand it. If they
- 18:36Speaker 3: do it, it's you know, it's called. But and really,
- 18:39Speaker 3: this this score doesn't even represent how much the blowout was.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Friday Harbor's thirteen points came all in the third quarter
- 18:45Speaker 3: when they did force Blaine to punt, and Blaine was
- 18:49Speaker 3: backed up a little bit and they had a punt
- 18:51Speaker 3: against the wind, and so basically Friddy Harber got the
- 18:55Speaker 3: ball like at the thirty and they were able to
- 18:58Speaker 3: put their best drive together and eventually score a touchdown.
- 19:02Speaker 3: And then right after that, I think it was a
- 19:04Speaker 3: second play from scrimmage. After that, there was an errant
- 19:06Speaker 3: snap that went over calling Davis's head and it gets
- 19:09Speaker 3: recovered by Friday Harbor inside the five, and two plays
- 19:13Speaker 3: later they score another touchdown. So that was their only
- 19:16Speaker 3: thirteen points. I tell you, Friday Harper's kicker is impressive.
- 19:19Speaker 3: They attempted a fifty two yard field goal at the
- 19:22Speaker 3: end of the half and he was wide and right,
- 19:24Speaker 3: so that's two fifty two. Yeah, and I get it,
- 19:28Speaker 3: you know, it's at the end of the half, so yeah,
- 19:29Speaker 3: but still and but he was. He was the real deal.
- 19:35Speaker 3: A lot of touch you know. I mean they didn't
- 19:37Speaker 3: kick off a ton, but touch touchbacks every time. So
- 19:40Speaker 3: we were just funny because we were talking about Freddy
- 19:42Speaker 3: Rber always has that one guy who's really impressive. Well
- 19:44Speaker 3: it's it's their kicker this year, so happen. I know
- 19:48Speaker 3: what number he was. I do not remember what number.
- 19:52Speaker 3: He was, a forty four kicker. It says on the
- 19:55Speaker 3: roster forty four Victor Velasquez. Yeah, I couldn't tell you
- 19:58Speaker 3: if that was him, but wow.
- 20:01Speaker 2: But but yeah, but to even attempt one of that
- 20:03Speaker 2: far is he is crazy because most coaches like they
- 20:06Speaker 2: know their kicker well enough to know fifty two is
- 20:09Speaker 2: probably not happening in high.
- 20:10Speaker 3: School, right, like yeah, yeah, Walking County records fifty three
- 20:14Speaker 3: Zane Smith from Mount Baker and that was right at
- 20:16Speaker 3: the end of the half as well. Wow, and uh
- 20:19Speaker 3: he nailed that one, so uh yeah, it's very very,
- 20:23Speaker 3: very impressive. There's been a few fifty plus yarders, not
- 20:27Speaker 3: that many in Walking County history. But but yeah, Blaine
- 20:31Speaker 3: looked dominant Jade and Piez. He's just so he just
- 20:35Speaker 3: glides and he's so fast and he just bounces off guys.
- 20:39Speaker 3: You know, it's, uh, it's really really impressive because he
- 20:42Speaker 3: has the power and really has the balance, like he
- 20:45Speaker 3: just he takes hits and it just doesn't look like
- 20:47Speaker 3: they're affecting him very much. And and then he can
- 20:51Speaker 3: just run away from people. So with that, with that combination,
- 20:54Speaker 3: it's lethal.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Guys, Like he takes the hit and it almost like
- 21:00Speaker 2: springs him a little bit.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right, it makes.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Little does that with the Seahawks, you know, like yeah,
- 21:05Speaker 2: there's times where he's like running off tackle and you know,
- 21:07Speaker 2: kind of takes a forty five degree angle hit if
- 21:09Speaker 2: you will, and then just kind of like boo and
- 21:11Speaker 2: bounces and just it's almost like a springboards off of it.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's just really really impressive to watch. Late
- 21:19Speaker 3: in the game, well in the third quarter anyways. You know,
- 21:22Speaker 3: he after the the second Freddy Harbor touchdown, there's you know,
- 21:26Speaker 3: it was a touchback and he takes and then the
- 21:28Speaker 3: next play runs an eighty yard touchdown. Uh, there's a
- 21:31Speaker 3: holding call near near midfield or a black block in
- 21:33Speaker 3: the back, sorry called near midfield. So they get the
- 21:36Speaker 3: ball at their own forty five and the very next
- 21:39Speaker 3: play they do the exact same play and he scores
- 21:40Speaker 3: a fifty five yard touchdown. So it's just he's you know,
- 21:46Speaker 3: he's really really good. And he's ran well against the
- 21:50Speaker 3: conference teams too. It's not like he's just doing this,
- 21:53Speaker 3: you know, against a bunch of nobody's he's you know,
- 21:56Speaker 3: they haven't won a conference game, but he's putting up
- 21:59Speaker 3: big numbers in these conference games. And I think, I know,
- 22:01Speaker 3: hopefully he'll get some he'll get some love for the
- 22:04Speaker 3: all league stuff because he is he is truly. I mean,
- 22:07Speaker 3: he's probably the most improved player that I've seen from
- 22:10Speaker 3: last year this year. And last year he was good,
- 22:12Speaker 3: but this year he's a superstar. You know, for a
- 22:15Speaker 3: lot of schools, what he did would be a school record,
- 22:18Speaker 3: but when you go to the same school that Gabato
- 22:20Speaker 3: went to, it's not exactly the case. But I did
- 22:25Speaker 3: run for three hundred and sixteen yards in the game.
- 22:27Speaker 3: It's the most yards rushing in a game in Walkham
- 22:31Speaker 3: County since the since Stephen Di Lorenzo ran for I
- 22:36Speaker 3: believe it was like three twenty against Stillicum in the
- 22:40Speaker 3: Amecca Igbuca game. So it's been a little while. It's
- 22:44Speaker 3: been since before anyone knew what COVID was. Was the
- 22:47Speaker 3: last time a Walking County running back has ran for
- 22:50Speaker 3: that many yards. I want to say it's the fourteenth
- 22:52Speaker 3: or fifteenth most in Walkom County history. Really really impressive.
- 22:56Speaker 3: But I thought also that kay Kerwin played really well
- 23:00Speaker 3: the defense. I mean, it was it was. It was
- 23:04Speaker 3: a good overall game for Blane. It was homecoming night
- 23:08Speaker 3: a little the wind was whipping a little bit. I
- 23:10Speaker 3: got some pictures from over there and and my new
- 23:13Speaker 3: photographer AJ Bennett was out there taking pictures for me,
- 23:16Speaker 3: and and uh yeah, it was really a good night
- 23:21Speaker 3: to be a border right.
- 23:23Speaker 2: On the night, Blaine four hundred and sixty four yards,
- 23:26Speaker 2: Friday Harbor just sixty yards fifty on the ground. Ten
- 23:30Speaker 2: passing for Friday Harbor three forty six. It's just crazy
- 23:38Speaker 2: to say three forty six rushing for Blaine one hundred
- 23:42Speaker 2: and seventeen through the air too, which is kind of crazy.
- 23:44Speaker 2: But h Jade and Pias twenty three carries three hundred
- 23:47Speaker 2: and sixteen yards, touchdown runs of five, twenty four, forty seven,
- 23:52Speaker 2: and fifty five on the night. Colby Ship four carries
- 23:55Speaker 2: nineteen yards, also a touchdown run of three yards. Colin
- 24:00Speaker 2: Davis five completions one hundred and seventeen yards, Kai Kerwin
- 24:04Speaker 2: four catches one hundred and four yards. All of this
- 24:06Speaker 2: going on, and there's a guy with one hundred yards
- 24:08Speaker 2: receiving too. I mean that's yeah, it's kind of wild
- 24:11Speaker 2: when you really look at it. But defensive numbers, Tyler,
- 24:15Speaker 2: anything to talk about there.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Yeah, Logan villar Yal had a good game. He had
- 24:19Speaker 3: an interception. He was playing a little up in the box.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Usually plays as a safety. But Freddy Arbor very very
- 24:25Speaker 3: run heavy. He also had a couple of tackles for loss.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Thomas Cox had a couple tackles for loss. Otto Shelton did,
- 24:31Speaker 3: Molloy Messenger did a lot of stops behind the line
- 24:34Speaker 3: of scrimmage. Zu had another or another sack, you know,
- 24:39Speaker 3: Kay Kerwin had a tackle for loss. So you're talking
- 24:41Speaker 3: about defensive backs here that are getting in the action
- 24:43Speaker 3: with stops behind the line of scrimmage. They had to
- 24:47Speaker 3: start Blake Kuresky was out, so they had to start
- 24:50Speaker 3: a freshman at defensive end, Sayhu Kanaji, who did did
- 24:56Speaker 3: a pretty good job at three tackles. He had a
- 24:58Speaker 3: half a tackle for loss. He's going to be he's
- 25:00Speaker 3: gonna be a kid they're gonna look for in the
- 25:02Speaker 3: next few years. But pretty impressive when you start a
- 25:05Speaker 3: freshman at defensive end and he goes out and answers
- 25:08Speaker 3: the bell there. So good good job overall by Blaine
- 25:12Speaker 3: and you know Logan villa y All, I tell you what,
- 25:15Speaker 3: it's nice to have an athlete as a kicker because
- 25:18Speaker 3: there was some kind of weird snaps there with the
- 25:20Speaker 3: wind and the ball being slick and everything. He did
- 25:22Speaker 3: kick a couple extra points, but he had to run
- 25:24Speaker 3: in a couple couple diversions, Yeah.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Because they went kicked, run, kick, run, and it's all
- 25:30Speaker 2: the same guy. What the heck is going on here?
- 25:32Speaker 3: Yeah? And these were not designed runs. They were they
- 25:35Speaker 3: were looked like a circus out there. It was pure
- 25:37Speaker 3: comedy gold because the ball was you know, going all
- 25:41Speaker 3: the way back you're talking about like the old black
- 25:43Speaker 3: and white uh, you know, there was you know, like
- 25:46Speaker 3: those old NFL film stuff and and anyway, this was like.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Saying this was behind him. He went and picked it
- 25:51Speaker 2: up and then took off running and the.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Score, well, took off run and went here, and then
- 25:55Speaker 3: he went there, and then he went around and then
- 25:57Speaker 3: spun and then went through these guys and scored, and
- 25:59Speaker 3: then he did it again. It was crazy that he
- 26:01Speaker 3: did it twice and and and somebody had him as
- 26:06Speaker 3: their fantasy kicker. So I actually gave the extra points
- 26:09Speaker 3: for those because he did it out of the kicker spot.
- 26:12Speaker 3: You know, if you if you pick the kicker, think, yeah,
- 26:16Speaker 3: like if you picked you know, what's funny is I say,
- 26:19Speaker 3: if you pick a kicker, the first one that comes
- 26:20Speaker 3: to my mind is Norm Johnson. That's how it tells
- 26:22Speaker 3: you where I'm at. But like, you know, if you
- 26:24Speaker 3: pick him for for fantasy and this happens and he
- 26:26Speaker 3: runs it in and gets two points. Of course, back
- 26:28Speaker 3: then there wasn't two point conversions. They would I think
- 26:31Speaker 3: they would count it towards your fantasy. So but yeah, great,
- 26:35Speaker 3: I mean, just an awesome overall game for blaying kind
- 26:37Speaker 3: of what they needed. They were the one team set
- 26:40Speaker 3: up to have two league games a non conference game
- 26:42Speaker 3: and then finished with two League games, So we'll see
- 26:46Speaker 3: how they do the rest of the year. Yeah, exactly, yea.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Now let's go time for the for the border rights
- 26:50Speaker 2: they gotta yeah, I gotta really go from here, so
- 26:53Speaker 2: Blaine again. Thirty six thirteen, over Friday Harbor at home
- 26:57Speaker 2: on Friday night, let's head out to the Peninsula where
- 27:02Speaker 2: Port Angelis was hosting Squalicum, and not a good night
- 27:06Speaker 2: for Port Angelis. Squalicum comes to town and I feel
- 27:10Speaker 2: like this is one of those games where they probably
- 27:12Speaker 2: could have done a real number on them. But at
- 27:14Speaker 2: final score twenty two, nothing the storm over Port Angelis.
- 27:19Speaker 2: You know, you would have thought that it was a
- 27:21Speaker 2: sloppy game. Squalicum fumbled the ball away a lot. There
- 27:26Speaker 2: was a ton of flags. I put it in the
- 27:28Speaker 2: first sentence of the story. I was like, in a
- 27:30Speaker 2: Friday night full of flags, bumbles, and follies.
- 27:33Speaker 3: It was just it was messy. This game started at
- 27:37Speaker 3: six point thirty and was the last game to finish
- 27:40Speaker 3: on Friday night.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Holy crap.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Yeah. When I was, you know, trying to get into
- 27:44Speaker 3: all the scores to the to the radio station, that
- 27:48Speaker 3: was the one game I was waiting on last. And
- 27:50Speaker 3: it started a half hour before the rest of them,
- 27:51Speaker 3: except for the blame game, and so it was just
- 27:55Speaker 3: kind of like, Okay, here we go and this was
- 27:58Speaker 3: the one or you know, I don't know, maybe the
- 28:00Speaker 3: Lake Stevens game was a little bit like this, but
- 28:03Speaker 3: the weather wasn't I don't think too much of a factor.
- 28:06Speaker 3: So it was just kinda like I said, it was
- 28:09Speaker 3: just kind of a sloppy game. If I didn't count
- 28:13Speaker 3: all the fumbles and penalties, but I would assume there
- 28:17Speaker 3: was probably twenty total penalties and post to ten fumbles,
- 28:20Speaker 3: maybe maybe even more. So it was just kind of
- 28:24Speaker 3: I mean, it was all squalk u early. You know,
- 28:26Speaker 3: it was kind of what you thought it would be,
- 28:28Speaker 3: right Marcus Nixon just ran one up the middle and
- 28:31Speaker 3: then saw something and cut outside, and the rough riders
- 28:34Speaker 3: just didn't have the speed and he just just broke
- 28:37Speaker 3: away from everybody. Easy touchdown. Port Angeles has the ball back.
- 28:41Speaker 3: They go run around the right side and it's the
- 28:44Speaker 3: far side on the camera, so you can't really tell
- 28:46Speaker 3: what's going on. All of a sudden, you see a
- 28:47Speaker 3: squalk and guy running down the sideline and I had
- 28:50Speaker 3: to rewind that play over and over again. I just
- 28:52Speaker 3: I still couldn't see from the film exactly what happened.
- 28:55Speaker 3: So I got on the NFHS and watched that part
- 28:58Speaker 3: of it and I could see a little bit better.
- 28:59Speaker 3: But yeah, basically, it was a strip from Avery Wiener.
- 29:05Speaker 3: The ball goes on the ground and Hunter Callaway picks
- 29:07Speaker 3: it up and scores a touchdown. Hunter Calloway extremely athletic
- 29:11Speaker 3: corner that doesn't play offense. He's a kid that he's
- 29:15Speaker 3: a sophomore, and I would imagine down the line he's
- 29:17Speaker 3: going to be a big time weapon on offense, but
- 29:20Speaker 3: for now just plays defense and found a way to
- 29:23Speaker 3: get into the end zone. So you know, Slade Kaiser
- 29:26Speaker 3: makes both extra points and it's fourteen to nothing. That's
- 29:28Speaker 3: what it remained as for a long time, and it
- 29:31Speaker 3: was just kind of, you know, just kind of messy
- 29:34Speaker 3: football for the next couple quarters back and forth. Squalicum
- 29:37Speaker 3: did score late in the game Malachi Smith's with a
- 29:39Speaker 3: nine yard touchdown run, and I think it might have
- 29:44Speaker 3: been even a botched extra point where they ended up
- 29:47Speaker 3: throwing it for the two point conversion there at the end.
- 29:50Speaker 3: But Squalicum's defense looked really, really good. But the offense
- 29:55Speaker 3: has some stuff to work on. There was a moment too,
- 29:58Speaker 3: and I want to say it was in the Secon
- 30:00Speaker 3: second quarter, may have been in the third when Marcus
- 30:02Speaker 3: Nixon was tackled for a loss and he got he
- 30:05Speaker 3: got hurt, and you could just tell from the from
- 30:09Speaker 3: like the sideline and everything. They ran out there, and
- 30:12Speaker 3: you know, your prize player, you know, when you're looking
- 30:15Speaker 3: at a serious, you know, potential postseason run here when
- 30:19Speaker 3: that happens. And he did play in the second half,
- 30:23Speaker 3: so he's okay, but they didn't have him run the
- 30:26Speaker 3: ball anymore. I don't think so that was probably a
- 30:30Speaker 3: wise choice because it was pretty slippery out there, especially
- 30:33Speaker 3: when you get on the dirt side of things and
- 30:37Speaker 3: or the mud side. I should say, but yeah, squalkum,
- 30:40Speaker 3: if you're gonna lay a stinker, this is the one
- 30:43Speaker 3: to do it, you know, in a non conference gaming
- 30:45Speaker 3: as a team that hasn't won a game yet. So
- 30:48Speaker 3: I would I mean, I would really say this was
- 30:50Speaker 3: probably their worst game of the year, and they still
- 30:52Speaker 3: find a way to give up ten yards. You know,
- 30:55Speaker 3: the defense, Like I said, the defense played great, but
- 30:58Speaker 3: they're gonna have to show some things up going into
- 31:01Speaker 3: next week's showdown with seahomes, So we'll see how that goes.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Yeah, as you said, just ten yards of offense for
- 31:08Speaker 2: Port Angels one yard on thirty one carries. I mean
- 31:13Speaker 2: that's hard to do. I mean that is some real,
- 31:16Speaker 2: real good defense. Port Angeles two of thirteen passing for
- 31:21Speaker 2: nine total yards. Squally coum two hundred and thirty six
- 31:24Speaker 2: yards of offense, one seventy nine on the ground, fifty
- 31:26Speaker 2: seven through the air. Marcus Knickson thirteen carries one hundred
- 31:30Speaker 2: and twenty two yards and the one touchdown run of
- 31:32Speaker 2: forty eight yards. Malachai Smith thirteen carries seventy seven yards
- 31:38Speaker 2: and a nine yard touchdown run. Yeah, I mean, not
- 31:42Speaker 2: a lot of numbers here. And as you said, Tyler,
- 31:44Speaker 2: this is the you know, one of the two games
- 31:46Speaker 2: where the weather may not have been that much of
- 31:48Speaker 2: a factor. At least it seemed like on film. You said,
- 31:51Speaker 2: what about on the defensive side.
- 31:53Speaker 3: Well, that was a lot of great play here. I mean,
- 31:55Speaker 3: Lockey Fungatua is he's making a case for defensive Player
- 31:59Speaker 3: of the Year every single week. He's just putting up
- 32:01Speaker 3: huge numbers. Eight tackles, two and a half tackles for loss,
- 32:03Speaker 3: a sack, two forced fumbles. Every single time he hits you,
- 32:07Speaker 3: it's a chance for a fumble. I mean, he's just
- 32:09Speaker 3: he can really really just lay.
- 32:11Speaker 2: A lick on you.
- 32:12Speaker 3: Malachi Smith, he's just been so steady as an inside linebacker,
- 32:17Speaker 3: had another really good game. Seven tackles. He had an interception,
- 32:20Speaker 3: another one for the year. Pass broken up which you know,
- 32:24Speaker 3: looked like it could have been another interception. I think
- 32:26Speaker 3: that was really early in the game. Looked like he
- 32:28Speaker 3: could add a his second pick six of the year,
- 32:30Speaker 3: but he dropped that one. You know, Hunter Callaway with
- 32:34Speaker 3: that fumble return for a touchdown. He also had another
- 32:36Speaker 3: pass defended. I think that gives him ten on the
- 32:38Speaker 3: year to lead the lead the county. Zach Watt had
- 32:42Speaker 3: another had a good game, forced to fumble, had a
- 32:44Speaker 3: tackle for loss playing up in the box. Reecee Nolton,
- 32:48Speaker 3: who's been playing a little bit more. Jakie Nortiz was out,
- 32:51Speaker 3: so ree Nolton getting the start at safety. There three tackles,
- 32:55Speaker 3: two passes broken up, He had a fumble recovery. A
- 32:57Speaker 3: lot of fumbles going on here. As I spoke about earlier,
- 33:01Speaker 3: Avery Wiener just a junior linebacker, you know, kind of
- 33:05Speaker 3: caught in the middle with all those other big, big,
- 33:08Speaker 3: big time players. He's going to be a huge player
- 33:10Speaker 3: next year for them. Three and a half tackles. He
- 33:12Speaker 3: had a force fumble and a fumber recovery on two
- 33:14Speaker 3: separate plays. There so lots of guys doing things. I
- 33:17Speaker 3: thought Jacob Clark played a good game. He's a kid
- 33:19Speaker 3: that was an outside linebacker for a while as a
- 33:22Speaker 3: backup and he's found a home on the defensive line now.
- 33:25Speaker 3: A little undersized, but pretty quick. Squalicum tends to do that.
- 33:28Speaker 3: They'll find guys that could even be safeties that they're like,
- 33:31Speaker 3: you know what, you're not your your backup right now,
- 33:34Speaker 3: but let's try you at defensive line. Let's let's get
- 33:36Speaker 3: you in the rotation and if it works, great, And
- 33:39Speaker 3: that's been working for Jacob Clark. And so that's really
- 33:41Speaker 3: really cool to see Ezra Nichols and and Bryce and Vereen.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Those guys got quarterback sacks. It was a big time
- 33:49Speaker 3: day for the Squalicum defense.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Alrighty, we move on to the I guess it's the
- 33:54Speaker 2: inner city game here between Seahom and Belling Hammond. For
- 33:57Speaker 2: that one, we headed into coaches corner with our to
- 34:00Speaker 2: Jeff Wood coach.
- 34:00Speaker 3: How we doing doing great rally?
- 34:04Speaker 2: Obviously not the greatest weather up in Wacome County over
- 34:07Speaker 2: the weekend. We've kind of talked about it. We well,
- 34:09Speaker 2: we talked about it even on the podcast last week
- 34:12Speaker 2: with Randy Small talking about the forecast. But Bellingham gets
- 34:17Speaker 2: on the board first here with an interception return from
- 34:19Speaker 2: Joe Harward. But then Seahom kind of I mean, I
- 34:22Speaker 2: don't want to say it takes over, but they score
- 34:24Speaker 2: the next twenty seven to come out with the twenty
- 34:25Speaker 2: seven to seven of victory over Bellingham.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Yeah, see him got the ball coming out.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Yeah, it was very windy, rain was steady, not pouring.
- 34:39Speaker 4: But it was wet too, So conditions definitely didn't didn't
- 34:44Speaker 4: favor the passing game very much. But you know there
- 34:48Speaker 4: was some some passes attempted, and that first drive for
- 34:52Speaker 4: Sea Home, you know, Nolan's trying to make something happen
- 34:56Speaker 4: back there and put the ball and scrambling around a
- 35:00Speaker 4: all throws laid over the middle.
- 35:02Speaker 3: And uh.
- 35:04Speaker 1: And picks him off, brings it back and Bellingham's up
- 35:07Speaker 1: bam out of the gates seven. Nothing kind of crowd
- 35:10Speaker 1: was uh, you know, definitely the Bellingham crowd was was
- 35:15Speaker 1: pumped up, and you know, being the underdog, they were
- 35:19Speaker 1: ready to go. But see Home kind of righted the ship,
- 35:22Speaker 1: as you say, and they went down and scored fourteen
- 35:27Speaker 1: I believe in they in the first half and took
- 35:31Speaker 1: a fourteen seven lead into halftime.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Uh.
- 35:35Speaker 1: You know, they ran the ball pretty effectively. Their run
- 35:39Speaker 1: game and their O line's been gelling a little bit more,
- 35:42Speaker 1: uh you know, kind of in this middle middle part
- 35:45Speaker 1: of the season, so that's been good. So they they
- 35:48Speaker 1: leaned on that. Kobe Chambers is splitting carries now with
- 35:52Speaker 1: Nicky Smith and Solomon McAllister still getting the bulk of
- 35:56Speaker 1: the load, but Chambers took in a touchdown run on
- 36:01Speaker 1: this nice counterplay. They run counter a little different. They
- 36:04Speaker 1: have Cole Terrell pull from tackle and then their h
- 36:08Speaker 1: back also, so it's a little different there, so a
- 36:11Speaker 1: little longer counter.
- 36:13Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, coaches, I look through some of this, I
- 36:18Speaker 2: one thing that really stands out to me is Joe
- 36:20Speaker 2: Harward twenty one carries seventy one yards. I mean, I
- 36:25Speaker 2: guess this is technically his third offensive position on the
- 36:27Speaker 2: year in what six seven games. Now, how does he
- 36:32Speaker 2: look there at running back.
- 36:33Speaker 1: He looked good. I mean, Seahomes defense is pretty fast
- 36:36Speaker 1: and they're flying into the ball and they you know,
- 36:39Speaker 1: Bellingham couldn't throw it very well, and so he was
- 36:43Speaker 1: kind of their their whole offense. And even with that,
- 36:46Speaker 1: he was he was grinding out some yards. You know,
- 36:48Speaker 1: he's such a big kid and a strong kid and
- 36:51Speaker 1: athletic fast, so he's definitely he's a good player. And
- 36:57Speaker 1: you know, Bellingham was battling and had a nice drives,
- 37:01Speaker 1: missed a fuel goal right before halftime that you know
- 37:04Speaker 1: would have would have got him back closer. It wasn't
- 37:06Speaker 1: out of out of reach by any means till till
- 37:09Speaker 1: the very end.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Uh you know.
- 37:11Speaker 1: Uh see, Home came out in the second half and
- 37:16Speaker 1: you know did did score a couple more times and
- 37:20Speaker 1: you know, took the took the twenty seven to seven victory.
- 37:23Speaker 1: You know, Nolan made you know, some good passes. His
- 37:27Speaker 1: arms so strong. Uh So he was able to kind
- 37:30Speaker 1: of cut through the wind. He threw this you know,
- 37:33Speaker 1: deep out to Andrea for believe this is our first
- 37:37Speaker 1: touchdown and just cut through the wind and like, yeah,
- 37:41Speaker 1: he can rip it, uh so and Andrea, you know,
- 37:44Speaker 1: andreas Andre and the o Quiggle caught a couple of balls,
- 37:47Speaker 1: and you know, just good team win for Sea Home
- 37:50Speaker 1: and kind of cool to see that rivalry back back
- 37:53Speaker 1: in shape, you know, Belling Hams. You know they're coming
- 37:56Speaker 1: back together. Numbers, numbers are up telling his uh, you know,
- 38:00Speaker 1: it's getting better every year. So I think that rival
- 38:03Speaker 1: really will keep keep progressing now that they're playing again.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it helps when you have a coach that's committed
- 38:09Speaker 2: to being there and committed to probably being there a
- 38:11Speaker 2: long time. One thing I noticed here, you know, Watson
- 38:15Speaker 2: just three catches but two touchdowns. Three catches for sixty
- 38:18Speaker 2: three yards. Touchdown receptions of fifteen and twenty eight on
- 38:22Speaker 2: the game see Home two hundred and forty six total yards,
- 38:25Speaker 2: Bellingham just eighty six. But I mean, I'll tell you what,
- 38:28Speaker 2: as we go through the as we go through the
- 38:31Speaker 2: stats of a lot of these games, you're going to
- 38:34Speaker 2: see some numbers that are pretty low on the weekend.
- 38:36Speaker 2: And a lot of it had to do with that,
- 38:38Speaker 2: whether Tyler, let's talk defensively, what do you got any
- 38:41Speaker 2: stats over there?
- 38:42Speaker 1: For me?
- 38:42Speaker 3: I was really impressed with Joe Harvard on the defensive
- 38:45Speaker 3: side of the ball. He hasn't played a ton of defense.
- 38:47Speaker 3: This year has been mostly focused on the offense, but
- 38:49Speaker 3: the pick six right away got them going at a
- 38:51Speaker 3: couple passes, knocked down, six and a half tackles. You
- 38:54Speaker 3: had a really really good game. I kind of figured,
- 38:56Speaker 3: you know, going against Sea Home, you're gonna need more
- 38:59Speaker 3: athleticism on the defensive side, and he gave them that.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Tyler Frost again just just a stud at linebacker that
- 39:07Speaker 3: he's so good at shooting the gaps. He had three
- 39:09Speaker 3: more tackles for loss. I mean he's up there now,
- 39:12Speaker 3: we're talking like walking County highs here. He's over like
- 39:15Speaker 3: thirty first career and once you get into that range,
- 39:18Speaker 3: you're way up there. He also had ten and a
- 39:21Speaker 3: half tackles, gave Van Hoffwagon had a sack tackle for loss,
- 39:25Speaker 3: five and a half tackles. Owhen Hansett had eight tackles.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Calvin van Hoffwagen had interception for Bellingham on the Sea
- 39:32Speaker 3: Home side. I thought, I thought Solomon McAlister played pretty well.
- 39:36Speaker 3: He had to fill in for Fisher Hall who was injured.
- 39:38Speaker 3: Fisher Hall leading the team in tackles. He's been having
- 39:41Speaker 3: a great year, and Solomon McAllister bit that Bill and
- 39:45Speaker 3: did it really well. That probably, you know, speaks to why,
- 39:49Speaker 3: you know, some other guys got some more carries, kind
- 39:51Speaker 3: of even it out. Carl Bock as well, had eight tackles,
- 39:54Speaker 3: one and a half tackles for loss. Tyson Goodman's a
- 39:57Speaker 3: kid that's really been coming along these last few weeks,
- 40:00Speaker 3: kind of like an outside linebacker spot. He had two
- 40:02Speaker 3: and a half tackles for loss. Carson or Carson touched,
- 40:06Speaker 3: and Neff had an interception. Cohen Matthew had a good
- 40:10Speaker 3: game from defensive end spot. So a lot of good
- 40:12Speaker 3: things on the defensive side of the ball, a lot
- 40:15Speaker 3: of stops for for losses for se home, you know,
- 40:19Speaker 3: and the weather has a little bit to do with that,
- 40:21Speaker 3: the wind and stuff like that, but uh, yeah, it
- 40:23Speaker 3: was It was a lot of a lot of activity
- 40:27Speaker 3: on the defensive side for both sides. This was a
- 40:29Speaker 3: game that both teams have been waiting for for a
- 40:31Speaker 3: long time.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a game that you know, kind
- 40:33Speaker 2: of some of the people around the county, Tyler, you
- 40:35Speaker 2: obviously been waiting for this game for a long time. Coach.
- 40:38Speaker 2: When you think about the two teams from inside the
- 40:41Speaker 2: city there getting back together for the first time, in
- 40:43Speaker 2: a little bit here. What was the crowd like, what
- 40:46Speaker 2: was the atmosphere? Like, you know, was the band rock
- 40:49Speaker 2: and a rolling wa Talk to me about that a
- 40:51Speaker 2: little bit.
- 40:52Speaker 1: You know, great, great crowd considering the weather, and you know,
- 40:57Speaker 1: there was stuff blowing all over the stands, from the cheerleaders,
- 41:02Speaker 1: from the even the goal post boone with the big velcrow.
- 41:07Speaker 1: Somehow the wind ripped.
- 41:09Speaker 5: That off and it was rolling, circling all the way
- 41:11Speaker 5: across on the track and then up against the stands,
- 41:16Speaker 5: and you know that's so that kind of put it
- 41:18Speaker 5: a little damper on the festivities.
- 41:20Speaker 1: But everybody was there, bundled up, you know, excited to
- 41:24Speaker 1: watch the game. Uh, with the with the two original schools.
- 41:29Speaker 2: Sounds like one of those old, you know NFL films
- 41:33Speaker 2: games where you know, maybe a little bit of a
- 41:36Speaker 2: black and white film or something, you got the old
- 41:38Speaker 2: the I can't think of Tyler. What was the guy's name?
- 41:40Speaker 3: Do you remember the guy that did the old voiceovers
- 41:44Speaker 3: on the NFL films that Harry Callous or yeah, I
- 41:46Speaker 3: know Harry Callus did some too. That's that's a good point,
- 41:50Speaker 3: John Facenda.
- 41:52Speaker 2: And I'm just thinking, I'm thinking, like you know, all
- 41:54Speaker 2: black and white, and then you know they're showing the
- 41:56Speaker 2: wind and there's you know, there's cups flying all over
- 41:59Speaker 2: the place and they're just different things. And all of
- 42:00Speaker 2: a sudden, oh hey, here comes the foam from the
- 42:03Speaker 2: goalpost just rolling across the field. There's you know, just
- 42:08Speaker 2: exactly exactly I could just hear it. You know, the
- 42:12Speaker 2: two teams, they are two originals Bellingham Schools. They got
- 42:15Speaker 2: tag oul that that was my best Harry Callis right there.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Yeh yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Those are good. Those are awesome videos to watch.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't Harry Callis the Michael Jack Schmidt. Wasn't
- 42:26Speaker 2: he said that?
- 42:27Speaker 3: Yeah, long time Philadelphia.
- 42:28Speaker 2: Yeah it is out of here. And didn't you do
- 42:32Speaker 2: I think he did cores light or something commercials too
- 42:34Speaker 2: or something probably I can't remember, but Harry Callis that
- 42:38Speaker 2: was he was a good one. Anything else coach before
- 42:41Speaker 2: we let you get out of here, I don't know.
- 42:45Speaker 6: I just, uh, you know, I'm pretty dumb for not
- 42:48Speaker 6: picking Linen after you know, just right writing about and
- 42:52Speaker 6: you know, they always find a way to win, and
- 42:54Speaker 6: Lennon's Lynnen and they're well coached and great players.
- 42:58Speaker 1: And then I pick against him like an idiot, and
- 43:01Speaker 1: so good job by those guys getting that win over Murphy.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Yeah. Just some of the videos and stuff I've seen
- 43:08Speaker 2: from that game. Man talk about some weather huh, my goodness,
- 43:11Speaker 2: Holy cow. I mean now for a guy like myself,
- 43:15Speaker 2: my kind of football, right, I like seeing the guys
- 43:18Speaker 2: just covered in mud. You can't even Tyler. Did you
- 43:21Speaker 2: have any problems in that game trying to even see
- 43:24Speaker 2: numbers on guys?
- 43:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I wasn't at I wasn't at the Linden game,
- 43:28Speaker 3: but I went to the two one A games and
- 43:30Speaker 3: it was tough. The Meridian game, like Meridian was wearing
- 43:33Speaker 3: the white jerseys. Yeah, and there was I have a
- 43:36Speaker 3: picture of Kelly Gray where I was gonna make a
- 43:39Speaker 3: meme that was gonna have three pictures. One was gonna
- 43:41Speaker 3: say Kelly Green and it was gonna have like a
- 43:44Speaker 3: one was gonna say Kelly Gray, which is a regular picture.
- 43:47Speaker 3: One was gonna say Kelly Brown, which was in with
- 43:49Speaker 3: covered in mud.
- 43:50Speaker 2: That's funny. So yeah, it was.
- 43:52Speaker 3: It was pretty crazy. The two games I went to
- 43:54Speaker 3: had natural grass that went out at Linden had natural grass,
- 43:58Speaker 3: and they were pretty muddy, especially for the second half,
- 44:02Speaker 3: which is when I went out to Lennon or I
- 44:03Speaker 3: went out to Riddy and Knoksack, so a little crazy.
- 44:06Speaker 2: Well, hopefully we get a little bit weather this coming week, coach,
- 44:10Speaker 2: or you headed somewhere this upcoming week.
- 44:13Speaker 1: I think seas Home Squalic com Oh, it's got to
- 44:16Speaker 1: be a.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Good one back in the inner city if you will.
- 44:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not traveling too far.
- 44:21Speaker 2: No, it's almost like you know the place all right.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Well again see Home twenty seven to seven over Bellingham.
- 44:28Speaker 2: This has been Coaches Corner with our coach, Jeff Wood. Coach,
- 44:31Speaker 2: thanks for your time.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Thanks Trelan.
- 44:34Speaker 2: All right, thank you to coach for his time. Tyler.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Let's head out to Nuksack Valley and yeah, Nukzack Valley.
- 44:42Speaker 2: The Pioneers come into this one really kind of maybe
- 44:46Speaker 2: the most dominant team so far, maybe even in all
- 44:51Speaker 2: of Walkham County. They take care of business here against
- 44:54Speaker 2: Meridian twenty nine. Nothing. I got a feeling this was
- 44:57Speaker 2: a dirty game out there.
- 44:59Speaker 3: Oh, just really really messy. I got out there in
- 45:02Speaker 3: the second half when the rain was really really coming down,
- 45:06Speaker 3: and you know, driving down Badger there coming from Linden,
- 45:09Speaker 3: it was there was a few hydro plane moments. It
- 45:13Speaker 3: was you know, if it's gonna flood anywhere, it's gonna
- 45:16Speaker 3: flood in the valley. So there was a lot of
- 45:19Speaker 3: water out there, and uh and it was senior night
- 45:22Speaker 3: for Knuksack Valley and oh.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Good night, let's have everybody stand out there and get soaked.
- 45:28Speaker 3: So and this was one that you know, I was
- 45:32Speaker 3: getting score updates before I headed out there, and it
- 45:34Speaker 3: was seven nothing at halftime, and I thought, Okay, we
- 45:36Speaker 3: got ourselves a game here. And when I watched the
- 45:39Speaker 3: film in the first quarter, it was very, very even.
- 45:41Speaker 3: I really kind of thought Meridian held a little bit
- 45:44Speaker 3: of an advantage there. Colton Lentz at the time, I
- 45:47Speaker 3: think he had like eight yards on seven carries. They
- 45:49Speaker 3: bobbled him up pretty well. H Daniel Larson had an
- 45:53Speaker 3: interception for Meridian, and they were things were going pretty well.
- 45:58Speaker 3: I think I was even talking about, how however, Brown
- 46:00Speaker 3: only had one interception and like over one hundred pass
- 46:02Speaker 3: attempts this year, and how he's, you know, gonna break
- 46:05Speaker 3: the school record for lowest interception percentage and then boom,
- 46:08Speaker 3: he throws one in the first quarter. So still could
- 46:11Speaker 3: do that. But uh so Meridian was looking really, really good,
- 46:15Speaker 3: and but neither team was really moving the ball in
- 46:18Speaker 3: that first quarter. And then the second quarter, you know,
- 46:21Speaker 3: Colton Lentz broke off a twenty five yard touchdown run
- 46:24Speaker 3: and that was you know, that was the biggest play
- 46:26Speaker 3: of the half for either team. I mean, it was,
- 46:28Speaker 3: like I said, there was just not a lot going on.
- 46:30Speaker 3: The weather was really playing a factor there, and both
- 46:33Speaker 3: teams are pretty you know, pretty even as far as
- 46:39Speaker 3: passing and running, but both of them had to kind
- 46:41Speaker 3: of go, Okay, we're going to run the ball. And
- 46:44Speaker 3: that gives a little bit of an advantage to Knooksack
- 46:47Speaker 3: when you look at their line and you look at
- 46:48Speaker 3: their running back. So in the second half it was
- 46:52Speaker 3: it was pretty much all Knooksack. And as soon as
- 46:56Speaker 3: I was walking into through through the gate, Colton Lentz
- 46:59Speaker 3: scored his second touchdown of the of the game. There
- 47:03Speaker 3: was a penalty on the extra point, so they move
- 47:05Speaker 3: it up a little bit, so they go for two.
- 47:06Speaker 3: Colton lent scores that and UH and then on the
- 47:09Speaker 3: very next play, UH on the on the kickoff, Nuksack
- 47:13Speaker 3: Valley does that that did a high kickoff to the
- 47:15Speaker 3: right side only about thirty yards down the field and
- 47:19Speaker 3: and the ball just died and landed on the ground
- 47:22Speaker 3: and in the muck, and it just died and Max
- 47:24Speaker 3: Lautenbach picked it up. So now the Pioneers got you know,
- 47:27Speaker 3: now they got all the momentum and they were up
- 47:29Speaker 3: by two scores. Now you got the ball back, and
- 47:31Speaker 3: it just kind of rolled from there, you know, driving
- 47:35Speaker 3: down the field. That now Kolby Martin gets into the
- 47:37Speaker 3: end zone and then uh Meridan gets the ball back,
- 47:41Speaker 3: and you know, I want to say, I think they
- 47:43Speaker 3: even may have gone for it on fourth down and
- 47:45Speaker 3: didn't get it. And on the very next play, I
- 47:47Speaker 3: remember I was gonna take my phone out to try
- 47:49Speaker 3: and get a video of knoksack Valley running the ball
- 47:51Speaker 3: and put something on social media. But when I started
- 47:54Speaker 3: my video on my on my phone, it was, oh,
- 47:56Speaker 3: like weird. It looked funny, like a big rain drop
- 47:59Speaker 3: was right my lens or something like that. I couldn't
- 48:01Speaker 3: see anything out of it. And all of a sudden,
- 48:03Speaker 3: I look up and Colt Lens is running for another touchdown.
- 48:06Speaker 3: So I could have had a great video of that play.
- 48:09Speaker 3: It was so mucky, but he had a big, big game.
- 48:12Speaker 3: He surpassed four thousand yards rushing in his career, just
- 48:15Speaker 3: the tenth player in Walking County history to do that.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Really really impressive for him. And you know, I mean,
- 48:23Speaker 3: what hasn't been said about him? I mean, he scored
- 48:24Speaker 3: three more touchdowns. He's he's way up there now on
- 48:29Speaker 3: a lot of lists, and had a big, big game,
- 48:32Speaker 3: and and Meridian, you know, they played hard, they played
- 48:35Speaker 3: pretty well, but it was just, you know, the momentum
- 48:40Speaker 3: was just overwhelming, and the crowd was really into it
- 48:43Speaker 3: for Nick sack Valley and and it just I don't know,
- 48:48Speaker 3: the dirt and the mud and everything all over. Those
- 48:51Speaker 3: purple uniforms didn't look as bad as they did on
- 48:53Speaker 3: the white uniforms, where they were very very dark brown,
- 48:57Speaker 3: and you know, all of a sudden you can't tell
- 48:59Speaker 3: what numbers there were. And you know, blessed the inventor
- 49:03Speaker 3: of the HD camera because I can I can tell
- 49:06Speaker 3: a little bit. But yeah, it was a pretty messy
- 49:09Speaker 3: game by the end of it. I think I think
- 49:12Speaker 3: if the weather would have been a little different, it
- 49:14Speaker 3: probably would have been a little bit closer game. But
- 49:16Speaker 3: Nok Sak did show their their dominance in this one.
- 49:19Speaker 3: And and by winning that one. I mean, that's their
- 49:23Speaker 3: that's their third conference win three and oh now and
- 49:25Speaker 3: that that's it'd be hard, you know, it'd be hard
- 49:29Speaker 3: to say they're not going to get around a thirty
- 49:30Speaker 3: two bid.
- 49:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't any way, they can't.
- 49:34Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and I've been hearing some different things
- 49:37Speaker 3: because some teams have dropped their programs, you know, Belvy Christian,
- 49:40Speaker 3: I think vash On. So there might even be a
- 49:43Speaker 3: round of twenty four, yes, but it will be for okay, So,
- 49:48Speaker 3: but there's still gonna be three teams from the Northwest Conference.
- 49:51Speaker 3: So so yeah, so so I think Nuksak has pretty
- 49:55Speaker 3: much secured that Meridian still in the hunt obviously, but
- 49:59Speaker 3: no Zac looked really really good. I mean we've been
- 50:02Speaker 3: talking about the parody and everything, and all of a
- 50:04Speaker 3: sudden we look up and the two teams that are
- 50:06Speaker 3: still undefeated in the conference, or the two teams that
- 50:08Speaker 3: have that did it that you know, dominated last year
- 50:11Speaker 3: with Knuksak and Linden Christians. So maybe maybe we overthink
- 50:15Speaker 3: it a little bit, who knows. But the Pioneers looked
- 50:17Speaker 3: looked really good.
- 50:19Speaker 2: Well, I mean I don't think there's any doubt that
- 50:21Speaker 2: this is the strongest the conference has been in a
- 50:24Speaker 2: little bit.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, I mean top to bottom. Absolutely, Yeah,
- 50:27Speaker 3: I mean top to bottom. All five teams are are legit,
- 50:31Speaker 3: you know what I mean. They are like they This
- 50:33Speaker 3: is one of those years where you wish more of
- 50:35Speaker 3: these teams could move on, Yeah, because they could. Absolutely
- 50:38Speaker 3: all five of them could do some damage. I mean
- 50:41Speaker 3: they just could.
- 50:41Speaker 2: But yeah. Nuksack Valley two hundred and sixty six yards
- 50:46Speaker 2: on the night Meridian one fifty three one oh seven
- 50:49Speaker 2: on the ground, forty six through the air for the
- 50:52Speaker 2: Trojans of twenty six twenty six two hundred and sixteen
- 50:56Speaker 2: on the ground and fifty through the air for the
- 50:59Speaker 2: Pioneers landed down He thirteen carries forty eight yards, Kelly
- 51:03Speaker 2: Gray twelve for forty seven, Jagger five thirteen carries twelve
- 51:06Speaker 2: yards Nooksack Valley, Colton Lentz again twenty seven carries one
- 51:12Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two yards. Touchdown runs of twenty five, fourteen,
- 51:17Speaker 2: and thirty three. Colby Martin eight carries twenty seven yards
- 51:21Speaker 2: and a touchdown run of six. Not a lot of
- 51:24Speaker 2: numbers otherwise, I mean Corey one is maybe the leading
- 51:29Speaker 2: receiver in the game. I guess he is because he
- 51:31Speaker 2: had the most catches, although there was multiple guys with
- 51:34Speaker 2: the same amount, but he had the most yards. Two
- 51:36Speaker 2: catches for twenty nine yards. Tyler, what about defensive side?
- 51:40Speaker 2: Kind of seems like everywhere around the county has some
- 51:42Speaker 2: good defensive numbers this week.
- 51:45Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, if you count the mud and
- 51:46Speaker 3: the rain and Colton Lentz. Colton Lentz had fourteen and
- 51:49Speaker 3: a half tackles at a tackle for loss, half a sack,
- 51:52Speaker 3: had a pass broken up, another one that hit him
- 51:54Speaker 3: right in the kind of late like oh there it is, boom,
- 51:57Speaker 3: and he could have added a pick six right there.
- 51:58Speaker 3: He's had a few of those this year, or that
- 52:01Speaker 3: he's he's wishing he would have had. Maybe he's saving
- 52:03Speaker 3: him from Montana. Who knows, but uh yeah, I mean
- 52:07Speaker 3: he when he has these, when he has the big
- 52:09Speaker 3: games offensively, he tends to go off defensively as well.
- 52:12Speaker 3: So not surprised there. Kolby Martin also had nine and
- 52:15Speaker 3: a half tackles. He seems to be all all around
- 52:17Speaker 3: the ball all the time. Brady Ackerman with probably his
- 52:20Speaker 3: best defensive games so far this year. He had a
- 52:22Speaker 3: he had a fumber recovery tackle for loss. Lance Van
- 52:25Speaker 3: Berkham four tackles, one of them for a loss, one
- 52:28Speaker 3: of them as a sack. He also disrupted a pass,
- 52:31Speaker 3: knock knocked a ball down. Adlee Whitworth had seven tackles
- 52:36Speaker 3: and a tackle for loss, and so, you know, the
- 52:38Speaker 3: big guys up front really made their presence stone. Speaking
- 52:40Speaker 3: of big guys up front, to Nooksack went with an
- 52:44Speaker 3: unbalanced line a little bit, yeah, and they had Brady
- 52:48Speaker 3: Ackerman kind of over on the right side, on the
- 52:50Speaker 3: unbalanced side of the strong side, and he usually plays
- 52:53Speaker 3: left left tackle. And then so they had little brother
- 52:56Speaker 3: Dane move in as a tight end and kind of
- 52:58Speaker 3: being that left tackle spot but still an eligible receiver.
- 53:01Speaker 3: And you know, it was it was working really well
- 53:04Speaker 3: and I think they found something there and it could
- 53:05Speaker 3: have been to try to neutralize Lincoln Hofer who plays
- 53:08Speaker 3: on it as like an end, like a stand up end.
- 53:10Speaker 3: And watching Brady Ackerman and Lincoln Hofer go out, it
- 53:13Speaker 3: was a joy. I mean, that was really really cool
- 53:16Speaker 3: to talk about a couple of guys. They're going to
- 53:17Speaker 3: be playing in the Big Sky next year, and that
- 53:21Speaker 3: was you know, a couple of big dudes that have
- 53:23Speaker 3: a ton of respect for each other. I remember at
- 53:25Speaker 3: the at the at the Walkham Preps youth football camp.
- 53:28Speaker 3: I mean, you know those two guys, and and Cole
- 53:31Speaker 3: Terrell were really the only line oh and Lance Van
- 53:33Speaker 3: Berkham as well, We're the only linemen there. So they
- 53:36Speaker 3: would be teaching the little the little big kids how
- 53:39Speaker 3: to play line and so they got to know each
- 53:40Speaker 3: other pretty well and that was a that was a
- 53:42Speaker 3: pretty cool deal.
- 53:43Speaker 2: So a lot of.
- 53:44Speaker 3: Respect on that side. And then on the Meridian defensive side,
- 53:47Speaker 3: I thought Jackson hurl but had a big game. He
- 53:49Speaker 3: got injured a few weeks ago, he came back really strong.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Eight tackles, He blocked a punt as well, landon downy
- 53:55Speaker 3: seven and a half tackles, had a pass knockdown Daniel
- 53:58Speaker 3: Larson with that interception Kelly Gray. You know, a lot
- 54:02Speaker 3: of tackles right at the line of scrimmage. But he
- 54:04Speaker 3: did have a tackle for a loss. That kid is
- 54:06Speaker 3: just so it's just full of you know, grit and energy.
- 54:10Speaker 3: And you know he's five six, one hundred and sixty
- 54:13Speaker 3: pounds and he just shoots that gap and I mean
- 54:15Speaker 3: he you know, he could he met Colton Lentz won
- 54:18Speaker 3: on one a few times and won that battle. So
- 54:20Speaker 3: that that tells me a lot about how strong he's
- 54:22Speaker 3: coming in there and making the play. And I would
- 54:25Speaker 3: imagine a lot of coaches have a ton of respect
- 54:27Speaker 3: for him and and he's always a lot of fun
- 54:29Speaker 3: to watch on the defensive side.
- 54:31Speaker 2: Look, Zac Valley twenty nine nothing over Meridian at home
- 54:35Speaker 2: on senior night Lyndon Christian. They score a thirteen to
- 54:39Speaker 2: seven win over Mount Baker, a game that Tyler, you
- 54:44Speaker 2: were there for the first half.
- 54:46Speaker 3: Yeah, didn't didn't see any scoring, no scoring. It was
- 54:50Speaker 3: very very they were waiting, yeah, get out of here.
- 54:54Speaker 3: So we score some points for crying out loud. You're
- 54:56Speaker 3: blinding us with that orange hoodie.
- 55:00Speaker 2: But and that was.
- 55:00Speaker 3: Homecoming game as well. Nice nice twenty minute halftime in
- 55:04Speaker 3: the rain. But this was one where kind of going
- 55:07Speaker 3: into it, you know, you and I picked Baker, and
- 55:09Speaker 3: I think we were both kind of thinking maybe of
- 55:11Speaker 3: the weather a little bit. This is their kind of
- 55:13Speaker 3: game and the mud and the slop and non natural grass,
- 55:16Speaker 3: and you know, I tell you what, the score is
- 55:19Speaker 3: pretty similar, but it reminded me a lot of the
- 55:21Speaker 3: game that you and I were at a few years ago.
- 55:23Speaker 2: It's funny to say that because when I looked at
- 55:25Speaker 2: the when I looked when I was typing in the
- 55:28Speaker 2: numbers for myself, I looked at it and I said, man,
- 55:30Speaker 2: this seems a lot like that game where I took
- 55:32Speaker 2: Kate Eldridge's picture after the game.
- 55:35Speaker 3: Yes, and it was a lot like what was going on.
- 55:38Speaker 3: And I think that it was like, you know, in
- 55:40Speaker 3: the third quarters, I think that game was twelve zero,
- 55:42Speaker 3: and in the third quarter is when they scored those
- 55:44Speaker 3: twelve points and they were both on like punts that
- 55:47Speaker 3: were down inside the five, and then Baker had trouble
- 55:50Speaker 3: getting out of there, and then they had to punt
- 55:52Speaker 3: the ball away, and then they gave Elsie short fields
- 55:53Speaker 3: and and it was it was it was a little
- 55:56Speaker 3: bit like that had that feel to it. I mean,
- 55:58Speaker 3: that night was was muddy, but I don't remember it
- 56:01Speaker 3: being rainy really.
- 56:02Speaker 2: It rained a little bit, but overall it was just
- 56:05Speaker 2: muddy because it had rained for most of the day for.
- 56:07Speaker 3: The right Yeah, so but this one was pretty pretty rainy,
- 56:12Speaker 3: pretty nasty. But right away, I mean, there was a
- 56:16Speaker 3: few moments where you thought Elsie would take the lead
- 56:18Speaker 3: early there was a play like on baker second drive,
- 56:21Speaker 3: Haloso and breaks through the line, sacks Luke Smith, the
- 56:24Speaker 3: ball falls out and Cole Larson picks it up and
- 56:27Speaker 3: runs for a touchdown. And boy, it was really hard
- 56:30Speaker 3: to tell from where I was standing, but they end
- 56:33Speaker 3: eventually called that he was down before he fumbled it.
- 56:35Speaker 3: When I watched the film, it's really close, but I
- 56:38Speaker 3: do believe he was down. So it was a good
- 56:40Speaker 3: call by the reps. And the very next play, Brady
- 56:43Speaker 3: Brulin rips off a forty nine yard touchdown run to
- 56:45Speaker 3: kind of flip the field. That was Baker's. You know,
- 56:49Speaker 3: that was Baker's biggest play of the night. And they
- 56:53Speaker 3: you know, they got they got inside and that they
- 56:54Speaker 3: got to the twenty five on the other side and
- 56:57Speaker 3: they ended up you know, there's some penalty as you
- 56:59Speaker 3: lose some yards and they still had to punt from there.
- 57:01Speaker 3: You know, Baker played very, very conservative, knowing that they
- 57:03Speaker 3: could be in this game with the weather. They were
- 57:06Speaker 3: punting a lot in el S territory. Uh, just you know,
- 57:09Speaker 3: just to and it again reminds me of that game
- 57:12Speaker 3: from a few years ago. And uh, and there was
- 57:15Speaker 3: a lot of punting back and forth. Elsie had a
- 57:17Speaker 3: couple of drives in the first half where they got
- 57:20Speaker 3: you know, deep into Baker territory. One one time they
- 57:23Speaker 3: got like, I think even to the ten, but on
- 57:26Speaker 3: both on both drives they were turned over on downs.
- 57:30Speaker 3: So uh, eventually it was zero zero with the half
- 57:33Speaker 3: and at that point I'm like, okay, Doki and I
- 57:35Speaker 3: left and I headed out to out to Knooksacks for
- 57:39Speaker 3: the Murdiy Knuksac game. But you know, in the second half,
- 57:42Speaker 3: Elsie did some did did some good things. They made
- 57:45Speaker 3: a few changes. They ran a statue of Liberty Liberty
- 57:48Speaker 3: play a few times pretty effectively. You know, Yeah, they
- 57:52Speaker 3: did it a few times. The first time I remember
- 57:55Speaker 3: watching it like live and I and all of a sudden,
- 57:59Speaker 3: I was shocked, like everybody else, and all of a sudden,
- 58:01Speaker 3: a guy's running up the middle all by himself, and
- 58:03Speaker 3: I'm like he picked it was all his own, had
- 58:05Speaker 3: like eleven or twelve yards, and I was like, wow,
- 58:08Speaker 3: that was that was pretty cool. I think that was
- 58:09Speaker 3: the only time they ran it in the first half,
- 58:10Speaker 3: so that was the only time I saw it live.
- 58:12Speaker 3: When I watched the film, they ended up running it
- 58:14Speaker 3: a few more times in the second half, and uh,
- 58:17Speaker 3: you know just basically, you know, I maybury, it's like
- 58:19Speaker 3: a draw play, but you know why, Mary goes back,
- 58:21Speaker 3: puts the ball in his left hand and puts it
- 58:22Speaker 3: behind his back while he's looking like he's throwing with
- 58:25Speaker 3: his right hand, and everyone just got faked out, especially
- 58:28Speaker 3: that first time. So it was they did some really
- 58:30Speaker 3: unique things the almost. They even ran like a triple
- 58:32Speaker 3: option a couple of times, and I think it was
- 58:34Speaker 3: I mean it had it had basically the exact triple
- 58:38Speaker 3: option play, but they I think they knew every time
- 58:41Speaker 3: they were going to pitch it to the tailback gotch
- 58:44Speaker 3: and that was kind of a play where you could
- 58:46Speaker 3: just kind of draw the defense in a little bit
- 58:48Speaker 3: on the fake and then quick pitch to the outside
- 58:50Speaker 3: to Chris Coyman, who's really starting to I don't want
- 58:53Speaker 3: to say separate himself as the go to back for
- 58:56Speaker 3: the Links because he did most of his carries and
- 58:59Speaker 3: it made he maya had one carry in the first half,
- 59:02Speaker 3: but he's a guy in these last few games that
- 59:05Speaker 3: he comes in in the second half and really becomes
- 59:08Speaker 3: like this this great running back that's big, strong, fast,
- 59:12Speaker 3: and really hard to tackle and he ended up scoring
- 59:15Speaker 3: a touchdown to put the first points on the board,
- 59:18Speaker 3: and then Elsie got the ball back and drove down
- 59:21Speaker 3: and then it was kind of a kind of a
- 59:24Speaker 3: you know, roll to the right, throw to the left,
- 59:27Speaker 3: big rainbow pass into the end zone that Jade and
- 59:29Speaker 3: Hooliott comes down with and all of a sudden, it's
- 59:31Speaker 3: thirteen zero. Baker was able to score on a pass.
- 59:36Speaker 3: It was their only completion of the night. Luke Smith
- 59:38Speaker 3: to Dean already a ten yard touchdown pass that was
- 59:41Speaker 3: on fourth and goal at the ten as well, so
- 59:43Speaker 3: that was a big, big play for them to stay
- 59:45Speaker 3: in it. Baker had a few chances there in the
- 59:48Speaker 3: fourth quarter to do some damage, but there was a
- 59:51Speaker 3: couple of fumbles that they had. Elsie got the ball
- 59:53Speaker 3: on both of them, and one time they had it
- 59:55Speaker 3: punted away. But the second time they were to drive down,
- 59:58Speaker 3: drive down, and they got, you know, basically inside the
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: five yard line with two minutes to go, maybe less,
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: maybe like a minute and a half. They line up
- 1:00:05Speaker 3: to kick a twenty yard field goal. The kick is missed,
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: but there's roughing the kicker, and that's tough because I
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: don't know at the time they might not have had.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: Baker might not have had any timeouts left, so that'd
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: be really hard to drive ninety eight yards down by
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: six with no timeouts and like a minute twenty to go.
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: But they still would have had a chance. But with
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: the roughing the kicker, new set of downs from the
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: one yard line, they just kneeled it down from there.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: So classy move by Turp there, just taking the knee.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: And you know it's because he played in a game
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: where it was a close game. And you know he'll
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: remember this from his junior year when there was a
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: play at the goal line and running back fumbled it
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: and it was returned ninety six yards the other way
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: for a touchdown. So you never know. So taking a
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: knee is not just classy, but it's a smart move
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: as well. The links secure that win, Baker played tough.
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: Hard to believe that Baker's owned three in the conference,
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: and hard to believe that in all those conference games
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: they have not scored a rushing touchdown. It's uh, they're
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: playing great, but you we we've talked about it. How
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: good all these teams are in the conference?
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the conference is just insane. Let's see
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: here lynnon Christian two forty eight uh, two hundred and
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: forty eight yards. Mount Baker won seventy nine. Mount Baker
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: won sixty nine on the ground, ten yards passing one
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: thirty seven on the ground one hundred and eleven passing
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: for Lynn and Christian. Brady Rulin sixteen carries ninety seven yards.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: Bryce Cooper six carries for thirty seven yards. Let's see
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: here for lynnon Christian Chris Coyman thirteen carries sixty eight
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown of ten yards. Yeah. Eli Maybury
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: eight completions one hundred and eleven yards. Yeah, not a
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: whole lot really going on. I mean Boyce Roberts and
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: I guess four catches for seventy nine yards. Yeah, I mean,
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: just not do I guess. It's kind of like the
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: theme we just keep talking about, not a ton of
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: offense in these games that took place in Walkom County
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: and the one that didn't take place in Walkom County
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: or one of the two. Yeah, what about some defensive numbers, Tyler.
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it was. It was really well done.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: I mean, Hallis Owen every week from line from his
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: linebacker spot has just gotten better and better. And I
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: talked a little bit about it last last week about
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: how he kind of rotates in and out, but he's
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: been playing a lot more lately. Had seven and a
- 1:02:34Speaker 3: half tackles, had that sack that he forced to fumble on.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: He recovered a fumble late in the game that was
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: a big, big deal. And yeah, I mean the Links
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: are you know, they're always known for their linebackers and
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: he's really starting to step up as one of the
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: big time ones. Chris Coyman, the sophomore, you know, you
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: had a great game offensively, did a great job on
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: the defensive side as well. Six tackles, two forced fumbles
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: that were huge. Those were kind of the two main
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: guys there on the defensive side for the Links for
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: Mount Baker, Dylan Moa twelve tackles, one tackle for loss,
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: two passes broken up. Just another great overall game for him.
- 1:03:09Speaker 3: That was another white jersey that was pretty muddy by
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: the end of it, but that guy just plays hard
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: constantly all the time. I thought kel Reardon probably had
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: his best game on both sides of the ball. And
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: that big run, that forty nine yard run that Brulin
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: had in the first quarter, I almost clipped it and
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: sent it to you, and I hate sending you plays,
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: but man, he pulled and got down field and just
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: wiped out a safety like just like, I mean, one
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: of the best blocks I've ever seen. I mean, obviously,
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: when you're an offensive tackle that's six five two twenty
- 1:03:39Speaker 3: five that you can that can move like he can
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: and you're going up against the safety, I get it.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: But uh but you know a lot of times it's
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: hard to get those little guys because they're so they can.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: Move so well, but blocking in space is a tough
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: thing to do.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Yeah, and and Reardon really did a great job. And
- 1:03:56Speaker 3: uh and on the defensive side of the ball, you
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: had seven and a half tackles, the tackle for law
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: and a quarterback sack. So really starting to come around
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: as a defensive end as well. And really one of
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: the leaders on that team. Bryce Cooper did really well.
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: He broke up three passes, which I thought was really
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: really impressive. Camden moa eight and a half tackles, Jet Ross,
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: he had a tackle for loss if pass broken up.
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: He was kind of playing all over the place, played
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: some safety would come up in the box when they'd
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: have two running backs. They were they were kind of
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: ready for everything. It just it just didn't work out
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: with those with those late fumbles for the Mountaineers and
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: else secured the win when they needed it.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: And then Christian thirteen to seven over Mount Baker. Final
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: game of the weekend, Tyler Lake Stevens comes away with
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: a sixty three to six win over Ferndale down at
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: Lake Stevens.
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just you know, not a ton to
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: talk about here. The Vikings looked great. They only had
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: thirty one plays on offense and had four hundred and
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: thirty eight yards. It was just it was very, very efficient.
- 1:04:57Speaker 3: When you can have eleven completions for three hundred yards,
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: that's that's putting your medal, that's putting the pedal of
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: the medal. Five of them went for touchdowns. There was
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: little that they could do wrong. Ferndale ran the ball
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: pretty well. Talon bung Guard went over a thousand yards
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: rushing for the second consecutive season, so congratulations to him.
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: But we kind of, you know, saw that this could
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: happen with a really explosive Lake Stevens team that's been
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: averaging fifty points last few games and Ferndale, you know,
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: kind of struggling a little bit. Ferndale got Zach Nielsen back,
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: he only played on the defensive side of the ball,
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: and they were also without Jacob Gandy, which is a huge,
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: you know loss there on the defensive side. Plus he's
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: the punter. He's been filling in for Zack Neilson as
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: a half back. So Elliott Lentsen took those snaps at
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: half back, did a really good job. Scored the one
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: touchdown for Ferndale. I was talking about it last week
- 1:05:50Speaker 3: how he was so good at going to the side
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: and then seeing something and cutting up at top speed.
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: It's basically what he did for that three yard touchdown run.
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: He sacrifices his body. I mean, he just throws his
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: body out there. Not a big kid, but he's also
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: playing free safety and he has no regards for safety
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: for his body. He will go up against anybody. And
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: I hope he stays, you know, injury free for the
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: next two years because he's going to be a great
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: one for the Golden Eagles. Eli Kennerly did some good
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: things carrying the ball. He also caught a forty five
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: yard pass from Nolan Boliac That's what set up the
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: lens and touchdown. But you know, it was just you know,
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: it was all Vikings, I thought John's and on the
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball, you know, without Jacob Gandy,
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: Jonathan Stanek did a did a really good job at linebacker,
- 1:06:36Speaker 3: kind of taking that spot that Gandy was in. Had
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: five five tackles, one tackle for loss. Lincoln Thomas had
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: a tackle for loss, and that was really about it
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: on the defensive side. So like guys, because like Stephens,
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: the only possessed a ball for thirty one plays and
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: they scored a touchdown on nine of them. So you know,
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: there's not a lot of room there to have defensive
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: plays happened. But you know, Ferndale will regroup and they
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: got They got a big game on Senior night at
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: home against Sejer Wooley, who we talked about it earlier.
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: They appear to be beatable, so we'll kind of find
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: out what happens next week.
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: On the night. Ferndale two hundred and seventy three yards
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: of offense, Lake Stevens four thirty eight. Ferndal two hundred
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: and six excuse me, two hundred and six yards on
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: the ground, tallon bung guard leading the way, seventeen carries
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: sixty one yards. Eli Kennerley seven carries forty four, Elliott
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: Lenzen twelve carries for forty three and the lone touchdown
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: from three yards out. Yeah. Just all in all, Tyler,
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: real tough game for Lakes, well not for Lake Stevens.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Four Ferndale against Lake Stevens. That is it. That's the
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: seven games from over the weekend, Tyler. Let's take a
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: look at the pick'ems. Tyler, you went five and two
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: on the week. You're now forty seven and twelve. Michayla
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: six and one. She's forty three and sixteen. Jeff Woods
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: six and one. He is forty five and fourteen. I
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: went six and one one forty six and thirteen. Dan
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: Sigfried does Sea home baseball coach. He went six and
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: one for the guests. Uh, they now take the lead,
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: and they are tied with Joe Consensus who also went
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: six and one. Uh, they are tied at forty eight
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: and eleven. Yeah, you know what, you know, it's crazy
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: that the guests in the lead. We might need Jeff
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: Bearden to come back and pick again. I don't know, man,
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: he's killing it in the stinking college football pick him.
- 1:08:24Speaker 3: To Betty and the Betty Spooner.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he might go undefeated on the week
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: if he comes. I mean, well, yeah, yeah, I mean I.
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: Got a few I got a few ideas for the
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: next pick, and we'll see how.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: You know what we need and this is a different
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: tune for not the same guy as normal. We need
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: one of those. We need somebody to come in and
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: just lay an egg is what we need, Tyler. So
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: pick somebody really bad?
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: Well, I don't want I'm not gonna say that because
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: then if you're listening and then I ask you to
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: do it, you're gonna think that I think that you're
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: really bad.
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: So before the podcast comes out at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not happening. Well, I'm not going to ask
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: the doctor at the emergency room.

- 1:09:30Speaker 3: to believe that he hasn't won this award yet that
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: this year. He's had some huge games, but every time
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: he does, someone else kind of outdoes him. Uh, but
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: he really shined in this one. I know Colton Monz
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: had a great game, and there was a few other
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: kids as well. I thought. I thought his teammate ky
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: Kerwin had a really good game too, But but Jade
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: and Piaz just he was on. He was unstoppable and
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: uh boy, he there was not a lot that he
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: couldn't do and he really showed it first time, you know,
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: a running back and walking cat had this many yards
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: rushing since before COVID, so it's been a while. Congratulations

- 1:10:27Speaker 2: of the week.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: It's the Squalkam junior outside linebacker Lockey Fungatua. Just every
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: single week he is just tearing it up. And this
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: might have been one of his best games yet. Eight tackles,
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: two and a half tackles for laws, two force bumbles,
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: and a sack. It's it's rare, and he's always in
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: the leaders, like within the top five leaders in tackles.
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: It's like all those other guys are inside linebackers and
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: he's an outside linebacker, which tells me a lot. I
- 1:10:53Speaker 3: mean he is. He will chase guys down. You see
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: those you know you see I'm not saying he's Lawrence Taylor,
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: but you see those old films of Lawrence Taylor when
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: they run away from him and he runs around and
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: tackles this guy behind the line of scrimmage from the backside.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: It's like, how in the world did he do that?
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: And that's the kind of stuff that Lockie can do.
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: Super athletic, great size, and speed just a junior as well,
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: which is hard to believe. So Loachi Fungatua, the junior
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: from Squalcam, is your Max Hair Studio Defensive Player of

- 1:11:36Speaker 3: Yeah, the kicking game is interesting. When there's weather like
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: this and there was, it's a you know, not a
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: ton going on. Ky Kerwin had a couple of big
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: punt returns. Owen Hanstead had a couple of huge punts.
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: He had one punt that went seventy yards. Oh of
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: course that was aided with the wind in the and
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: the and also with the with a nice bouncy turf there.
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: But still you you knock off a seventy yard punt,
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: that's pretty impressive. So I almost went with a punter for.
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: The first time ever.
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: But it was a lot of fun watching what Blaine
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: Senior Logan villa Rial did. He did kick a couple
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: extra points, but then he scored two two point conversions
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: on plays where uh, this is him lining up at
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: kicker and doing it. So uh, the ball you know,
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: snapped and went went went behind him. He went and
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: picked it up, didn't have anywhere to go, ran around
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you can hear in the
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: background the music. But and it's just man, it was
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: it's it pays to have an athlete back there. And uh,
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: I guarantee you that when I was kicking, I bet
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: coach Lep was like, oh man, if you get it,
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: just throw it to your holder, you know, don't don't
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: even try to make anything. Yeah, right, firefire boom.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: You look like the guy was a Garrol, your premian.
- 1:12:47Speaker 3: Garrol, your premier. And that's my that's my that's my
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: NFL comp. Right, Yeah, I always thought it was Jim Breach.
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: I always thought Jim Breach would have been my NFL comp,
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: the old Bengals kicker. But uh, but yeah, Logan Villa
- 1:12:59Speaker 3: Real had a great night kicking and running the ball
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: when needing on those extra points. Basketball comp spud Web

- 1:13:41Speaker 3: teams have to play in that weather, and it just
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: felt like Lynden embraced it. Yeah, and boy it looked,

- 1:13:52Speaker 3: right now they got Zachdikstra left tackle. And Zachdikstra is
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: just a sophomore. And I'm telling you, Ryland, he's a
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: guy that if you were still kind of helping out
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: doing recruiting type stuff, this is a guy you'd be
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: all over. He's about six y three, about six Yeah,

- 1:14:11Speaker 3: fifty five pounds a sophomore.

- 1:14:20Speaker 3: Linden has started a freshman on the offensive loan line.
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: And they've had some guys. They've had the Matt Myers
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: and the you know, the Evan nota boom and I mean,
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: they've had some big time dudes on the offensive line
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: and as freshman, but he, you know, he actually got
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: some starts at right tackle. He started the year this
- 1:14:40Speaker 3: year at right tackle, got moved to left tackle. And
- 1:14:42Speaker 3: you and I both know if you're playing left tackle
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: for Lindon, they believe in you and they ask a
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: lot out of you. And as just a sophomore, he's
- 1:14:50Speaker 3: doing a bang up job. He had a great game
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: against Archbishop Murphy and he's a big reason why they

- 1:15:25Speaker 2: one twenty nine point nine to eighty five point seven.
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: I feel like we don't go under one hundred very often.
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: No, And you know, I gave myself the whammy last week.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: Oh you definitely did.
- 1:15:37Speaker 3: We talked about how every single year we always end
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: up picking a guy. It happens multiple times. It seems
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: like we always pick a guy and he's not even
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: suiting up that week, or he may have quit the
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: team or something. It's like, are you hitting though?
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: Tyler? The first year was really bad. It was like
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: a week happened all the time. Yeah, yeah, now you Yeah,
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: you had two guys with zero points. One of them
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: I know played, but did Cole Coppinger just didn't have
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: much numbers wise. On defense.
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: I think it just wasn't anything on his side. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: he just didn't get any action. I mean he caught
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: a few passes and stuff like that, but yeah, they
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: just never threw to his side. And and Blake Kresky
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: was out, he was he was a scratch there. And
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll be ready to go next week. But
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: it's just, you know, those are my two guys that
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: picked on defense, and I took. I took a big zero.
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: So I mean, Tyler, you were looking okay until you
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: get to defense and then you get three zero zero
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: and three from the kicking game. I mean, you went
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: right in the toilet after after the offensive side of
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: the ball. But Brent Hebner twenty point three points for you,
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: Eli Mayberry eleven and a half for me, Dylan Moa
- 1:16:47Speaker 2: just one point nine for me, but Marcus Nickson eighteen
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: point two for you, Andre Watson nineteen point eight for you,
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: Tyler Boyce Robertson nine point nine for me. So at
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: this point here, Tyler, you're really doing a number.
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: I'm looking great. Yeah, you're looking dominating every single time.
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately for you. Blaine forty eight point six points
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: for me, Squalicum twenty one point four for you. Uh. Defensively,
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Blaine just three points for you, squal Them twenty five
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: points for me. On defense.
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: That's got to be the most we've scored on it
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: as a defense, you know, as an actual defensive team.
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: You know, that's a lot of a couple of years
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: ago in in terps first year, I put up huge
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: numbers with their Yes, again.
- 1:17:29Speaker 3: That's right, I think yeah, I think they scored a
- 1:17:32Speaker 3: couple of touchdowns.
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: I think they were scored like three or four something like.
- 1:17:35Speaker 3: This, right, wild, true, that's true, that's that's the most.
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean squal of them. They scored the
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: defensive touchdown that's six, They got the shutout that's ten. Yeah,
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: and then you look at all the fumble recoveries they had,
- 1:17:47Speaker 3: they had an interception, they had like three sacks. You
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: all put all that together, twenty five points, that's really
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: hard to do.
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: Over over twenty points is huge. Oh yeah, over twenty
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: points is definitely huge. Uh, defensive player wise, for you
- 1:18:00Speaker 2: mentioned it, Kureski and Coppinger zero points total for me,
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: Malachi Canan thirteen points, Kolbe Martin fourteen points, and then
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: you got three from Grady Evans. I got six from
- 1:18:12Speaker 2: villar realitey. Now tell me Tyler, how many So how
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: many points was the two point conversion worth? Where those
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: were two?
- 1:18:19Speaker 3: Those were worth two each?
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, so I got four points on two point
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: conversions and then two points on field goals, so actual
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: extra points. Yeah, yeah, h yeah, extra points. I mean
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: that worked out great. I mean, granted I didn't I
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: guess I didn't need them, but uh yeah, that worked
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: out great for me on the year, Tyler. I now
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: bring you within one game. Three and four is my record,
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: which means four and three is your record. So we're
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: in the thick of it right now, Tyler, right right
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: in the middle of the league play. And yeah, it's
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: coming down to the end of it. Only one team
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: we'll get a state tournament berth out of our fantasy
- 1:18:54Speaker 2: team here, Tyler. Basically one team is gonna win at
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: the end of the other ones. Not that's it.
