- 10:54Speaker 1: for the second day. It'd be great to be down there,
- 10:56Speaker 1: so we'll just wait to see. Let's talk about swimming
- 11:00Speaker 1: and diving, and when we do that, we got to
- 11:01Speaker 1: talk about Stafford Insurance. Go check out Stofford Insurance in
- 11:05Speaker 1: person at nineteen oh three Front Street in Lindon. You
- 11:08Speaker 1: can give them a call. Three six zero seven four
- 11:10Speaker 1: six eight eight zero three And finally seem had had
- 11:19Speaker 1: some swim meets. So everybody's competed now, which is good.
- 11:22Speaker 1: And you look at the standings. Anichordises three and zero,
- 11:25Speaker 1: Mount Vernon three and one, belling Ham two oh and one,
- 11:27Speaker 1: Linden's two and two, Ferndale two and two, squall them
- 11:30Speaker 1: two and three, see them one and one, oh Carver
- 11:33Speaker 1: one one and one, Burlington and Cadrew Woolley yet to
- 11:37Speaker 1: find a victory. Let's look over at the top times
- 11:40Speaker 1: for each race. The two hundred medley relay, the top
- 11:43Speaker 1: time is the Bellingham team of Camp Hancock, Carlos Full,
- 11:48Speaker 1: Marley Lotts and Tony Seaholm at one minute fifty eight
- 11:51Speaker 1: point two nine seconds. I feel like they've had that
- 11:53Speaker 1: since the first week. In the two hundred freestyle, it's
- 11:57Speaker 1: Odin Overson of Ferndale with a time of two two
- 12:00Speaker 1: minutes fourteen point nine to seven seconds. In the two
- 12:02Speaker 1: hundred individual medley, it's Bellingham's Marley Lotts with a time
- 12:06Speaker 1: of two minutes twenty two point one to two seconds.
- 12:09Speaker 1: In the fifty free style, it's Odin Overson a Ferndale
- 12:13Speaker 1: twenty four point four to one. In the diving competition,
- 12:16Speaker 1: Nolan Whitman still leads of Squalkum with a with a
- 12:19Speaker 1: score of one to seventy four point sixty five that
- 12:21Speaker 1: is over six dives. And the one hundred butterfly it's
- 12:25Speaker 1: Seaholmes Will Burrella of a time of one minute two
- 12:29Speaker 1: point five to five seconds. This is converted from meters
- 12:33Speaker 1: because where they swam it was just just a different thing,
- 12:35Speaker 1: so you're getting different times, but I'm glad there's a
- 12:37Speaker 1: conversion here which makes it easier. In the one hundred freestyle,
- 12:41Speaker 1: it's again Seaholmes Will Burrella with a time of fifty
- 12:44Speaker 1: four point six to one seconds. In the five hundred freestyle,
- 12:48Speaker 1: it's a Liam Deheim of Seahome with a time of
- 12:52Speaker 1: five minutes thirty three point zero two seconds. And the
- 12:55Speaker 1: two hundred freestyle relay, it's the Seahome team of Sal Sanders,
- 12:59Speaker 1: Cyrus mcfrey, Hans Vandre and Will Burrella with a time
- 13:03Speaker 1: of one minute forty six point nine to seven seconds.
- 13:06Speaker 1: In the one hundred backstroke, it's Bellingham's Camp Hancock with
- 13:09Speaker 1: a time of one minute eight point nine six seconds.
- 13:14Speaker 1: In the one hundred breaststroke, it's Seaholme's Will Burrella with
- 13:17Speaker 1: a time of one minute fourteen point eight six seconds.
- 13:20Speaker 1: And the four hundred freestyle relay it's the Bellingham team
- 13:24Speaker 1: of Tony Seaholm, Marley Lotts, ew and Kelly and Camp
- 13:27Speaker 1: Hancock with a time of four minutes, six point two
- 13:30Speaker 1: eight seconds. That's a full eight seconds ahead of the
- 13:33Speaker 1: next team. That's a pretty darn good time there. So again,
- 13:36Speaker 1: check out stopp for Insurance nineteen oh three Front Street
- 13:38Speaker 1: in Linden. Give them a call three six zero seven
- 13:41Speaker 1: four six eighty eight oh three. The new year is coming.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Might be time to check out those insurance policies. Let's
- 13:48Speaker 1: go to girls basketball. The nightly scoreboards are brought to
- 13:52Speaker 1: you by Editing Darry from satisfied Cows to satisfied customers. Boy,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I could use a soft serve right now to coat
- 13:57Speaker 1: my throat. Editing Darry is my favorite play ice in
- 14:00Speaker 1: Walking County to get a cold treat and you can
- 14:01Speaker 1: take You can check them out any of their five stores,
- 14:04Speaker 1: two in Linden one and Blaine one in Seue, mass
- 14:06Speaker 1: and of course the one in Ferndale, where I find
- 14:08Speaker 1: myself the most often. As we head into the Christmas break,
- 14:12Speaker 1: Linden Christian and Linden and Nukxac Valley are all undefeated
- 14:17Speaker 1: still at this point. Lyndon Christian seven, and Oh Linden six,
- 14:20Speaker 1: and oh and Knucksack Valley three and Oh Lemon Nation
- 14:23Speaker 1: is six and one. Mount Baker, Seahome and Squalkum are
- 14:26Speaker 1: all five and two, Bellingham is four and three, Meridian
- 14:29Speaker 1: two and two, Blaine one and three. I'm sorry Ferndale
- 14:32Speaker 1: one and three and Blaine one and six. And let's
- 14:36Speaker 1: take a look at the stat leaders. It's brought to
- 14:39Speaker 1: you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Kevin Ausink partnered
- 14:42Speaker 1: with Walking Preps in August of twenty twenty five and
- 14:45Speaker 1: has been a steady supporter ever since then. He's always
- 14:47Speaker 1: been supporting a boys and girls sport at the same time.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Throw each season that passes, many of you out there
- 14:54Speaker 1: are learning how to drive, and I strongly advise you
- 14:55Speaker 1: to check out Acceleration Driving School and Linden. Give Kevin
- 14:59Speaker 1: a call three six zero seven four six four five
- 15:03Speaker 1: six seven tell him you heard about them on the
- 15:05Speaker 1: WACOM Preps podcast. So when you look at the stat leaders,
- 15:09Speaker 1: there's a few new ones here, but for the most part,
- 15:11Speaker 1: it's a lot of the same names. Points per game
- 15:14Speaker 1: still fin departure of Linden right at twenty three point
- 15:17Speaker 1: eight points per game now on the season. She is
- 15:19Speaker 1: also leading in field goal percentage shooting seventy five point
- 15:23Speaker 1: three percent. For free throw percentage, it's Peyton Mills or
- 15:27Speaker 1: teammate of Linen shooting eighty five point seven percent from
- 15:30Speaker 1: the line. Some players are still at one hundred percent,
- 15:33Speaker 1: but they don't qualify for the lead because I the
- 15:37Speaker 1: way I qualify it is you have to average at
- 15:39Speaker 1: least two free throw attempts per game played, if that
- 15:43Speaker 1: makes sense. So if you played five games, you have
- 15:45Speaker 1: to have at least ten free throw attempts just to
- 15:47Speaker 1: qualify here. Like I said, there are some players that
- 15:52Speaker 1: have one hundred percent that are at one hundred percent,
- 15:55Speaker 1: but they don't qualify three point percentage. Natalie vanlu of
- 16:00Speaker 1: Balley forty five and a half percent. She's been a
- 16:04Speaker 1: welcome addition to the squad, the former Mount Baker Mountaineer.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And rebounds per game, it's Graced Hoague of Nuksack Valley
- 16:10Speaker 1: seventeen rebounds a game, as sis per game, Aileena ray
- 16:14Speaker 1: Bang of Lemination eight point one assists per game, steals
- 16:17Speaker 1: per game it's again Aileena Raybang and her teammate Jordan
- 16:21Speaker 1: Reader of Lemination at six point four steals per game.
- 16:25Speaker 1: And again Jordan Reider just an eighth grader, So watch
- 16:28Speaker 1: out for her the next few years and blocks per game.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker still leading now at three
- 16:34Speaker 1: point six blocks per game. So now we look at
- 16:38Speaker 1: all of this and we talk about our Anytime Fitness
- 16:40Speaker 1: Player of the Week. Check out Anytime Fitness in Linden,
- 16:43Speaker 1: Linden North and Ferndale. And after this week, I'm giving

- 17:29Speaker 1: week there are tournaments, but then I'll be out of

- 17:37Speaker 1: com between Christmas and New Year's to find out everything
- 17:40Speaker 1: that's happening with those Christmas basketball tournaments. I will be
- 17:44Speaker 1: like I said, I'll be out of the state for
- 17:45Speaker 1: a couple of days. Even the football Top one hundred
- 17:47Speaker 1: list will take a break for four days. I will
- 17:50Speaker 1: mention that online and we'll get to that point when
- 17:52Speaker 1: we get there. But let's talk about boys basketball. The
- 17:55Speaker 1: nightly scoreboards again brought to you by Edeline Darry from
- 17:58Speaker 1: Satisfied Cows to Satisfied cuss Atlein Terry is my favorite
- 18:01Speaker 1: place in Walkham County to get a cold treat. And
- 18:03Speaker 1: the daily recaps are brought to you by Mossi Construction
- 18:06Speaker 1: for the second year in a row. Moss Ai Construction

- 18:28Speaker 1: That's mo ce Rii Construction dot com. And we look
- 18:34Speaker 1: at the standings going into the Christmas break. Linda Christian
- 18:37Speaker 1: is at seven and one, Lamination six one in one,
- 18:40Speaker 1: Lynden is five and three, Seahome is four and three,
- 18:42Speaker 1: Squalkum three and three, Blaine is three and four, Nooksack
- 18:48Speaker 1: Valley is two and three along with Mount Baker. Bellingham
- 18:50Speaker 1: is two and four, Ferndale one and four, and Meridian
- 18:54Speaker 1: is one and five. So it's a little bit more
- 18:56Speaker 1: parody here. Every team is at least lost one and
- 18:59Speaker 1: one one, so you know, as a whole, that's a
- 19:03Speaker 1: little bit more parody. It's not as big of a
- 19:05Speaker 1: gap as it is in the girls basketball game in
- 19:07Speaker 1: Walkin County. Let's take a look at the stat leaders again.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School and Lindon is sponsoring the boys' stat leaders.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Kevin Austink partnered with Walkin Preps in August of twenty
- 19:17Speaker 1: twenty five. Give him a call at three six zero seven,
- 19:20Speaker 1: four six forty five sixty seven. Tell him you heard
- 19:24Speaker 1: about them on the walk and Preps podcast. When we
- 19:28Speaker 1: look at these stat leaders again, it's a lot of
- 19:30Speaker 1: the same names, but there are a few leaders points
- 19:32Speaker 1: per game. Dawson Heights of Lennon Christian twenty five point
- 19:36Speaker 1: seven points per game. That is that is doing some
- 19:39Speaker 1: work right there, and boy, he's a fun player to watch.
- 19:42Speaker 1: So explosive field goal percentage, it is Chase wait Keller
- 19:46Speaker 1: of lem Me Nation at sixty seven point five percent.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I think this past week he had, my goodness, I
- 19:53Speaker 1: don't know, at least ten dunks in just this past
- 19:56Speaker 1: week alone. So that's that's how you get pretty good
- 20:00Speaker 1: field goal percentage. Right. In free throw percentage, just like
- 20:03Speaker 1: on the girls side, there's a lot of players that
- 20:05Speaker 1: are still at one hundred percent, but they're like two
- 20:07Speaker 1: for two or four for four. You have to average
- 20:09Speaker 1: at least two at free throw attempts per game to qualify.
- 20:13Speaker 1: So when you look at those, there are two players
- 20:15Speaker 1: that are at ninety percent on the year. It's Cavere
- 20:18Speaker 1: Dylan of Ferndale and Weston Silvis of Nuksack Valley, So
- 20:22Speaker 1: congratulations to both of them. In three point percentage, again,
- 20:26Speaker 1: it's the same type of deal you have have you
- 20:28Speaker 1: have to put up enough shots to qualify for this.
- 20:30Speaker 1: It is Blake Elson of Squalicum he is shooting at
- 20:33Speaker 1: fifty two point four percent from threes. He's got a
- 20:37Speaker 1: pretty shot and it gets it's so much improved from
- 20:41Speaker 1: last year. You could tell he's been really working at
- 20:42Speaker 1: his game and he's really emerged as one of the
- 20:45Speaker 1: top players in Walkme County. Really fun to see. You
- 20:47Speaker 1: look at rebounds per game, Chase weight Keller of Leimination
- 20:51Speaker 1: and Caden Veldman of Lynn and Christian are tied at
- 20:54Speaker 1: ten point three rebounds per game. Xavier Kelly is right
- 20:57Speaker 1: behind them at ten point one. Look an assist per game,
- 21:01Speaker 1: it's Jerome Toby of lumin Nation seven point eight assists
- 21:04Speaker 1: per game. He is also leading now in steels per
- 21:07Speaker 1: game at three point six and Caden Veldman still leading
- 21:11Speaker 1: at blot in blocks per game at three exact three
- 21:15Speaker 1: blocks per game. And now we go to the player
- 21:18Speaker 1: of the week, which is again brought to you by
- 21:20Speaker 1: Anytime Fitness checked him out in Anytime Fitness in Linden,
- 21:23Speaker 1: Linden North and Ferndale and you're Anytime Fitness. Player of
- 21:28Speaker 1: the Week is Gunner Dykstra, the junior guard from Lyndon

- 21:36Speaker 1: They had another close one where it went into overtime
- 21:39Speaker 1: again at home against Arlington. He put up huge numbers
- 21:42Speaker 1: this week, averaging well over twenty five a game. Just
- 21:47Speaker 1: this week. He could shoot the lights out. So congratulations
- 21:50Speaker 1: to Gunnar Dykstra of Lyndon Christian. He is your Anytime
- 21:53Speaker 1: Fitness player of the week. And speaking of fitness, I
- 21:57Speaker 1: don't think I don't I think all those games this
- 21:59Speaker 1: week too, those look picture those close ones. I don't
- 22:02Speaker 1: know if he took a break. I mean games that
- 22:04Speaker 1: went into overtime. He played every minute, never took a break.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Pretty impressive there. So it sounds like someone that has
- 22:11Speaker 1: been to anytime fitness before. So that is boys basketball.
- 22:15Speaker 1: When we look at the upcoming week, this is when
- 22:17Speaker 1: I usually talk about the games, and I'm just gonna say,

- 22:45Speaker 1: will be four days twenty eighth, twenty nine, thirty thirty first,

- 22:54Speaker 1: but I'm not too sure. I will be down in
- 22:57Speaker 1: Portland at a wedding and yeah, so I again go
- 23:03Speaker 1: to walcomhoops dot com during that time to check out
- 23:07Speaker 1: everything that's going on with all the basketball tournaments. There
- 23:09Speaker 1: are some great ones. I really hate to be gone
- 23:12Speaker 1: at this time because it's there's some really really fun
- 23:15Speaker 1: basketball tournaments going on, and uh, I am sad to
- 23:18Speaker 1: be missing them. But I will be back for the
- 23:21Speaker 1: New Year's again. The top one hundred list will be
- 23:24Speaker 1: counting down four per day, but it will stop on
