0:35
Speaker 1: will happen this upcoming state tournament for the boys and
0:38
Speaker 1: girls and the one B, one A, two A and
0:41
Speaker 1: got boys and girls teams and all three classifications. So
0:44
Speaker 1: it's going to be an exciting week. But first I
0:47
Speaker 1: want to give a thank you to Lyndon's senior Brody
0:50
Speaker 1: Price for the intro. He's just been having a bang
0:53
Speaker 1: up year and I tell you, if you look at
0:55
Speaker 1: the stats, it's stuff. It just does not give it
0:58
Speaker 1: justice to how valuable he is to that Lyndon basketball team.
1:01
Speaker 1: He comes off the bench and provides crazy defense, so
1:06
Speaker 1: much heart, so much hustle. He had a huge block
1:09
Speaker 1: shot on Saturday night And we'll talk about all that
1:13
Speaker 1: stuff in a little bit, but uh, he's just been
1:15
Speaker 1: amazing and so thank you so much to him for
1:18
Speaker 1: doing the intro. And it's just gonna be girls and
1:22
Speaker 1: boys basketball should be a shorter episode tonight. And and
1:26
Speaker 1: there was just two days of games really so and
1:31
Speaker 1: I saw, I was, I saw from tip to final whistle,
1:36
Speaker 1: seven of eight of them live. And then there was
1:40
Speaker 1: one over at Ellensburg High School that we'll talk about
1:43
Speaker 1: as well. But let's start with girls basketball. And scoreboards
1:48
Speaker 1: are brought to you by Edelin Darry from Satisfied Cows
1:50
Speaker 1: to Satisfied Customers. You can visit them at Edelendery dot com.
1:55
Speaker 1: That's E D A L e e n Dary dot com.
2:00
Speaker 1: And on the girls side. For one b Friday night,
2:04
Speaker 1: the lem Nation girls took on Muckleshoot Tribal down in
2:08
Speaker 1: Mount Vernon and a big game. I mean, this was it.
2:12
Speaker 1: You know, they they got the nine seed. And a
2:14
Speaker 1: lot of people have been asking me questions about kind
2:16
Speaker 1: of how all this works. And you know, if they win,
2:19
Speaker 1: you know, you move on. If you lose, you move on.
2:22
Speaker 1: But in this game, you lose and you're done. How
2:23
Speaker 1: does that all work? So basically, if you're the if
2:26
Speaker 1: you're in the top eight seeds, you're going to Yakama.
2:29
Speaker 1: It just depends if you are playing Wednesday or Thursday.
2:32
Speaker 1: And and then for the one for one B it's
2:36
Speaker 1: the same thing, but it's Spokane and UH and Lemu
2:41
Speaker 1: Nation girls got the nine seeds, so they were just
2:44
Speaker 1: outside the eight seeds, so there was a chance that
2:47
Speaker 1: they weren't going to go to Spokane at all. And
2:49
Speaker 1: Uh they took on Muckle Shoot Tribal got them pretty good,
2:52
Speaker 1: sixty one to thirty seven. It was a it was
2:55
Speaker 1: a big time group effort. I really thought. I thought
2:59
Speaker 1: that it Muckleshute Trible did a lot to defend Jemma
3:04
Speaker 1: James and kind of take her out of her game
3:06
Speaker 1: a little bit. She had to rely on giving the
3:09
Speaker 1: ball up, which she's really good at, you know, finding
3:11
Speaker 1: the open teammate and stuff like that. I mean, I
3:14
Speaker 1: think she was only I think she was held like
3:15
Speaker 1: four or five points. There was a few shots that
3:18
Speaker 1: she made that didn't count that you know, because of
3:21
Speaker 1: a timeout right before or a whistle or something, and
3:25
Speaker 1: so she just kind of had some tough luck in that.
3:28
Speaker 1: But Elena Raebang had an awesome game. I mean she
3:34
Speaker 1: I think she went off for like twenty four points,
3:36
Speaker 1: a ton of rebounds. And it's crazy because it was
3:39
Speaker 1: that exact game last year at Mount Vernon where she
3:41
Speaker 1: scored like thirty four points. Something about that gym. She
3:44
Speaker 1: loves playing in it. Heck, if I had any basketball
3:47
Speaker 1: talent at all, I'd probably love playing in it too,
3:49
Speaker 1: because that is an amazing gym and such a great
3:52
Speaker 1: atmosphere to watch a game. And so congratulations to the
3:57
Speaker 1: Lumi Nation girls. They move on to play and the
4:01
Speaker 1: and the round of twelve uh on March fifth, that
4:05
Speaker 1: will be Wednesday. They're gonna take on Potero's. So that's
4:09
Speaker 1: an eight to nine game. And the crazy thing about
4:11
Speaker 1: that is they played Potero's earlier on in the year.
4:14
Speaker 1: They had a they had a little tournament right after
4:17
Speaker 1: New Year's down at Mount Vernon Christian on the third day,
4:21
Speaker 1: they played Patero's. They lost that game. It was a
4:24
Speaker 1: really really close game. So I think that, you know,
4:27
Speaker 1: I'm sure both coaches are going to look at the
4:28
Speaker 1: film on that see some things. I think Elimination is
4:32
Speaker 1: a completely different team from from that point of the
4:35
Speaker 1: season to now, and they are They're really really fun
4:41
Speaker 1: to watch. They just they just have so many players
4:44
Speaker 1: that can do so many different things, a lot of
4:46
Speaker 1: good you know, dribblers, passers, defenders, shooters, so not a
4:52
Speaker 1: ton of size. They did change it up a little bit.
4:55
Speaker 1: They started Celestine James in the middle, and you know,
4:59
Speaker 1: she's the tallest girl on the team. She's a freshman,
5:02
Speaker 1: so they started her at center and and she did.
5:06
Speaker 1: She did pretty well. I think she had like nine
5:07
Speaker 1: rebounds so but I think she had fourteen in a
5:11
Speaker 1: game not too long ago, coming off the bench. So
5:14
Speaker 1: her and LARAA Dennis can hold down the inside, excuse me,
5:20
Speaker 1: and so Jimma James and Brianna Mattiba and cash La
5:25
Speaker 1: Mack and Aileena ray Bank can just do their thing.
5:27
Speaker 1: And boy there they are so much fun to wash.
5:31
Speaker 1: I wish them the best of luck. I'm not going
5:32
Speaker 1: to be out at Spokane. I do have a photographer
5:35
Speaker 1: that will be there. I will be able to write stories,
5:38
Speaker 1: you know, get stats, get pictures, write stories as soon
5:42
Speaker 1: as I'm able. So they will be playing on Wednesday
5:46
Speaker 1: at two pm at the Spokane Arena against Petero's and
5:51
Speaker 1: the loser. If they lose that game, they're done. So's.
5:54
Speaker 1: It's a tricky loser out game at that point, but
5:57
Speaker 1: then if they win, they would play the next day
6:01
Speaker 1: against Waterville Mansfield, who is the second ranked team in
6:06
Speaker 1: the state for one B and that game would also
6:09
Speaker 1: be at two pm on Thursday. So good luck to Lemination,
6:14
Speaker 1: lady Blackhawks. You've been so much fun to watch this
6:18
Speaker 1: year and I'm just so glad that I added Lemination
6:24
Speaker 1: to walk them preps this year. Is is what a great
6:26
Speaker 1: time to do it because it has just been so
6:30
Speaker 1: exciting and so best of luck to you over there.
6:33
Speaker 1: It's going to be a heck of a lot of
6:35
Speaker 1: fun and I'm sure you'll take advantage of every opportunity
6:38
Speaker 1: that you can get over there. And now at the
6:40
Speaker 1: one A level for girls basketball, we still have a
6:43
Speaker 1: couple teams alive here in Walkham County and a few
6:47
Speaker 1: of them played on Saturday out at Mount Vernon High
6:50
Speaker 1: School and I was there for both of them. Nuksack
6:52
Speaker 1: Valley took on Hoquiam Knuksack Valley in that same you
6:56
Speaker 1: know bracket or I'm sorry, not not bracket, but the
6:59
Speaker 1: same scenario as the Lumination girls. They were the ninth seeds,
7:03
Speaker 1: so they just missed out on the guaranteeing of playing
7:08
Speaker 1: in Yakama, so they had to play themselves play their
7:12
Speaker 1: way in. Luckily, when you're the ninth seed, you draw
7:16
Speaker 1: the sixteen seat, you draw the team that just made it,
7:19
Speaker 1: So that was the Hokum Grizzlies. They came, you know,
7:22
Speaker 1: all the way up in to play a noon game.
7:25
Speaker 1: So that's a lot going against Hoquiam there, and that's
7:29
Speaker 1: really tough for them, and nooksac Ballely took advantage, especially early.
7:33
Speaker 1: I think they scored twenty points in the first quarter,
7:36
Speaker 1: with Peyton Bartle scoring fifteen of them. She had four
7:39
Speaker 1: threes in the first quarter alone. She had fifteen points
7:43
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and they started to kind of
7:47
Speaker 1: take her out of her game a little bit, started
7:49
Speaker 1: closing out on her more throughout the rest of the game.
7:52
Speaker 1: I think she made another three later, but she was
7:55
Speaker 1: passing them up, going for twos a little bit more
7:57
Speaker 1: after that. She did finish with twenty five points. I
8:00
Speaker 1: believe that's a career high for her. Grace Dhogue had
8:04
Speaker 1: another big game. She had nineteen points. She hit three
8:07
Speaker 1: threes in that game. She was three for four beyond
8:09
Speaker 1: the arc, and and what was great about that is
8:12
Speaker 1: she had made three three pointers the whole season going
8:15
Speaker 1: into that game, and then she made three in that game.
8:18
Speaker 1: She definitely has the range to do it, and they
8:21
Speaker 1: were giving her the shot, so she would just take him.
8:23
Speaker 1: And like I said, she knocked down three of four,
8:25
Speaker 1: So great job for her. Reagan Burke knocked down a
8:28
Speaker 1: couple three, she only took two. She hit him both,
8:31
Speaker 1: which was awesome to see. Kate Shintaffer is just she
8:34
Speaker 1: is just like a like one of those toys that
8:37
Speaker 1: you like wind up and you just let her, let
8:39
Speaker 1: her go because she's got so much energy. And she
8:42
Speaker 1: just went out and grabbed ten rebounds, and you know,
8:45
Speaker 1: against girls that were much taller. She got knocked to
8:48
Speaker 1: the floor so many times. She just hops right back
8:50
Speaker 1: up and she's the toughest girl out there. And and
8:53
Speaker 1: Shaylee Davis dished out nine assists. Nine assists, that is
8:57
Speaker 1: incredible and also scored eight points. Coach Wickers, I mean,
9:01
Speaker 1: he does such a great job. It was a three
9:03
Speaker 1: point game at halftime and they end up winning by
9:07
Speaker 1: twenty two, so that shows great coaching. You look at
9:11
Speaker 1: certain things that happen in the first half, you make
9:13
Speaker 1: adjustments at halftime. You come out and they have to
9:15
Speaker 1: execute that game plan and they did a fantastic job.
9:19
Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Pioneers. They win that game, which
9:22
Speaker 1: means they are going to Yakama and they will play
9:26
Speaker 1: Wednesday against Natchi's Valley, who I'm going to talk about
9:29
Speaker 1: a little bit, but that's gonna be a really tough
9:32
Speaker 1: game at eight to nine game, and that game will
9:35
Speaker 1: be on Wednesday at two pm as well. So he
9:38
Speaker 1: got a couple of games going on at two pm
9:40
Speaker 1: one over and Yakama one and Spokane. I will be
9:44
Speaker 1: at the Yakama game and try to get a story
9:47
Speaker 1: up immediately after the game. And that's the beautiful thing
9:49
Speaker 1: about these games is you sit right there courtside, I'll
9:55
Speaker 1: get some pictures, I'll bring my laptop. I'll be able
9:57
Speaker 1: to write stuff right away. So that's gonna be a
9:59
Speaker 1: lot of fun. And I already know that Nuksack Valley
10:02
Speaker 1: travels well after seeing them last year there, so that's
10:05
Speaker 1: gonna be fantastic. A lot of purple in the crowd
10:07
Speaker 1: and and hopefully it'll be a nice long week for
10:10
Speaker 1: the Pioneers there. Lyndon Christian coming into the tournament as
10:14
Speaker 1: the one seed, so they played a Nachi's Valley and
10:19
Speaker 1: that was on Saturday afternoon at Mount Vernon. That was
10:21
Speaker 1: the second game of the five header. The first game
10:24
Speaker 1: was that Nuk sack game. The second game and I
10:27
Speaker 1: tell you early on the Rangers just holy cow. They
10:32
Speaker 1: were relentless and they played a lot of pressure D
10:37
Speaker 1: full court defense, and it just kind of it just
10:43
Speaker 1: it just worked. I mean, Lenny Christian had a lot
10:46
Speaker 1: of turnovers that were just uncharacteristic of them. They were
10:51
Speaker 1: missing foul shots, they weren't hitting their outside shots. It's
10:54
Speaker 1: like all the things they're really good at just wasn't happening.
10:57
Speaker 1: And Nachi's Valley was hitting everything. And it just that
11:03
Speaker 1: that pressure D and they're hitting their outside shots, and
11:06
Speaker 1: you just kind of thought, wow, this is just their
11:08
Speaker 1: their day. They were up big at halftime, They were
11:11
Speaker 1: up by seventeen at one point in the third quarter.
11:14
Speaker 1: They were up by sixteen going into the third or
11:17
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, going into the fourth, and the Links just
11:21
Speaker 1: did they just something turned around and you knew they
11:24
Speaker 1: weren't gonna be cold the whole game. They are the
11:26
Speaker 1: best outside shooting team and in Wakham County, and I
11:31
Speaker 1: this is girls or boys. They are the best outside
11:34
Speaker 1: shooting team three point percentage wise in the county, and
11:38
Speaker 1: so you thought, okay, they had a chance. The one
11:40
Speaker 1: thing that was gonna maybe hamper them down was foul trouble.
11:44
Speaker 1: Alison Shoemate Daniel Diikster, both seniors, both six feet tall,
11:48
Speaker 1: really good rebounders, both had four fouls each early in
11:53
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and I just kind of thought, oh no,
11:56
Speaker 1: because if you lose one of them, then there's no
12:00
Speaker 1: and you can lose both of them, there's definitely no way.
12:02
Speaker 1: But they both played through it all the way through
12:05
Speaker 1: and just fought and fought and fought. They both ended
12:09
Speaker 1: up getting double digits and rebounds. Shoemate had fourteen, Dykester
12:12
Speaker 1: had ten. But a big thing that started happening was
12:15
Speaker 1: Tyra Diikster, the freshman outside shooter. She started hitting three
12:19
Speaker 1: after three after three, and all of a sudden, you
12:21
Speaker 1: looked up the scoreboard and she hit a three and
12:23
Speaker 1: it was and they were they were down by just
12:27
Speaker 1: three points, and the fourth quarter was you know, there
12:30
Speaker 1: was only like three and a half minutes to go
12:31
Speaker 1: in the game or something, and you thought, how how
12:34
Speaker 1: did that? It happened so fast? And what was great was.
12:38
Speaker 1: It was Daniel Dykster Anallison Shoemate getting rebounds on the
12:40
Speaker 1: defensive side, so they were able to, you know, get
12:44
Speaker 1: a defensive stop, get the ball back, hoist up a shot,
12:48
Speaker 1: hit it, shooting with a lot of confidence, stepping into
12:51
Speaker 1: a three and just draining it. It was just amazing
12:55
Speaker 1: to see because it was over and over and over
12:58
Speaker 1: again and it was like they couldn't miss. And then
13:00
Speaker 1: Daniel Dykeser hit a three which tied the game, and
13:04
Speaker 1: you force a timeout. It's going crazy in there. I
13:07
Speaker 1: was taking some live videos trying to do get some
13:09
Speaker 1: highlights and different things, and the atmosphere was fantastic, and
13:14
Speaker 1: it was it was just going crazy, and then all
13:17
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's another stop. Get the ball down.
13:21
Speaker 1: They find Estella Hernandez in the corner. She hits a
13:23
Speaker 1: three and that gave the Links a three point lead.
13:27
Speaker 1: They hold on to win fifty seven fifty four. It
13:30
Speaker 1: was one of the most incredible games I've ever seen,
13:33
Speaker 1: one of the biggest comebacks I've ever seen, especially for
13:36
Speaker 1: Lenny Christian girls, because you don't see them get down
13:39
Speaker 1: very often, so that was really really good to see.
13:43
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that really helped them and
13:45
Speaker 1: a lot of the Walking County teams for that matter.
13:48
Speaker 1: On Friday and Saturday was how deep these teams are.
13:52
Speaker 1: They're going up against a lot of teams that are
13:54
Speaker 1: really good. You're making the state tournament. You're a really
13:56
Speaker 1: good team, but you only go five, six, maybe seven deep.
14:00
Speaker 1: You know, lynnon Christian girls they play, you know, they
14:03
Speaker 1: played ten eleven girls. So over the course of time,
14:08
Speaker 1: once you get to that fourth quarter, I mean they
14:09
Speaker 1: outscored the Rangers twenty four to five in the fourth
14:12
Speaker 1: quarter and one by three. So that tells you a
14:16
Speaker 1: lot right there of great conditioning, but also having a
14:20
Speaker 1: deep bench goes a long way. And so the Links
14:24
Speaker 1: they win that one, so they get to skip on
14:27
Speaker 1: into Thursday and they will play the winner of Montesano
14:31
Speaker 1: and Kashmir, and they will play that winner on Thursday
14:34
Speaker 1: at ten thirty in the morning. It's not the early game.
14:38
Speaker 1: The earliest game start at nine, So right at ten thirty,
14:41
Speaker 1: hopefully I'll be wide away, can be ready to go
14:44
Speaker 1: at that point. Again, Nachi's Valley looked extremely impressive. I
14:51
Speaker 1: was shocked that they were an eight seed. They looked really,
14:54
Speaker 1: really good and they will take on Nusak Valley, so
14:57
Speaker 1: Knusak versus Natchi's the Battle of the Valleys, if I
15:02
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, and I don't know the eastern
15:06
Speaker 1: part of the state like most of you listeners, but
15:09
Speaker 1: I believe Natchi's Valley is really close to the sun Dome,
15:12
Speaker 1: so it won't be that far for them to go.
15:15
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot, you know, writing on
15:18
Speaker 1: the Pioneers, But yeah, man, they have some great experience,
15:22
Speaker 1: especially those four players that experienced a ton of it
15:24
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, you know, go playing all
15:27
Speaker 1: the way into Saturday, winning state championships, Hall of Fame
15:30
Speaker 1: coach Shane Wickers, all that stuff, I mean. So that's
15:33
Speaker 1: gonna be a great, great matchup. They're kind of there
15:35
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of the bracket than Lynden Christian is.
15:38
Speaker 1: But Linden Christian already into Thursday, and they will play
15:42
Speaker 1: the winner of Monta SnO Cashmere again. That will be
15:45
Speaker 1: Thursday at ten thirty in the morning. So good luck
15:48
Speaker 1: to the Lady Lynx and Brady Bomber and his crew.
15:52
Speaker 1: So just it was just it was an incredible game
15:56
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and hopefully they have a few more left
15:59
Speaker 1: in there, and you jump to the two A side
16:01
Speaker 1: and the Linden girls they also are the one seed,
16:05
Speaker 1: so they played against the eight seed Bainbridge and it
16:09
Speaker 1: was it was it was too bad because Bainbridge was
16:11
Speaker 1: without their best player. I had heard about this, this
16:14
Speaker 1: player that was you know, dynamite, over a thousand career points,
16:19
Speaker 1: really really good player, and she was unable to play.
16:21
Speaker 1: So that's really really tough, especially when you already have
16:25
Speaker 1: to travel and go up to Mount Vernon play against
16:28
Speaker 1: Linden and and and right away, I mean the Lions
16:34
Speaker 1: it went on a twelve ohero run in the first quarter.
16:37
Speaker 1: I think half those points were steals and lands by
16:39
Speaker 1: Finley Parcher. And she just had an amazing game. I
16:43
Speaker 1: mean she led the team with in I think like
16:46
Speaker 1: nineteen points, seven rebounds, six steals, and three assists and
16:50
Speaker 1: she led in every single category. And that's what big
16:53
Speaker 1: time players do in big, big moments. And she's a
16:57
Speaker 1: big time player, and you know she's she's done so
17:00
Speaker 1: many things for the Linen Lions already. She's already got
17:03
Speaker 1: a state title under a belt and just a sophomore.
17:05
Speaker 1: So big big win there. They win fifty eight to
17:09
Speaker 1: twenty six. They just kept getting you know, every quarter
17:13
Speaker 1: just got more and more, and they you know, they
17:15
Speaker 1: they played their their all their subs in the final quarter.
17:18
Speaker 1: And one of the really cool things that happened in
17:20
Speaker 1: that game as well was, I think it was late
17:23
Speaker 1: in the first half, Peyton Mills hits a hits a
17:25
Speaker 1: three pointer, and that put her over a thousand points
17:27
Speaker 1: in her career. She's also just a junior. So uh
17:32
Speaker 1: if you whenever you hit a thousand points in your career,
17:35
Speaker 1: that is that is a huge accomplishment, huge accomplishment. There
17:39
Speaker 1: are there are schools out there that have never had
17:42
Speaker 1: a player that every has reached a thousand points. So
17:45
Speaker 1: uh so Peyton Mills, to do that before your senior
17:48
Speaker 1: year even starts, that's incredible. So congratulations to her. It
17:54
Speaker 1: was a fun moment. I got to see her celebrate
17:56
Speaker 1: with her family after the game and their teammates and
17:58
Speaker 1: coaches and and with the game ball and everything, and
18:02
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's that's what I love about high
18:05
Speaker 1: school sports. And and you know, there's a lot of
18:07
Speaker 1: schools that don't keep these numbers, and and you know,
18:10
Speaker 1: I'm happy to say I was kind of helping along
18:12
Speaker 1: with this track and see when should we get to
18:15
Speaker 1: a thousand And I'm hoping that that's something that I
18:18
Speaker 1: can provide for everybody in the community. Is just these numbers.
18:21
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I love is I love the numbers.
18:23
Speaker 1: I love the history, I love the how does this
18:26
Speaker 1: player stack up against this player historical wise, and stuff
18:29
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm I'm I'm glad that I can
18:32
Speaker 1: bring that to everybody and and uh and have it,
18:36
Speaker 1: you know, come to the forefront, because it's a really
18:38
Speaker 1: really cool deal, at least at least to me. It's
18:40
Speaker 1: it's what excites me. And and you know, I just
18:43
Speaker 1: I love numbers. So so yeah, so Peyton mills a
18:47
Speaker 1: thousand points in a career. That's amazing. Congratulations, but there's
18:50
Speaker 1: more work to be done. Because of the win, they're
18:53
Speaker 1: moving straight on to Thursday as well, so they will
18:55
Speaker 1: play five thirty at night against the winner of Port
18:59
Speaker 1: Angelis and Columbia River. And you know, I should have
19:04
Speaker 1: checked this earlier, but I believe they played Columbia River
19:07
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, or no, I'm sorry, that's right,
19:11
Speaker 1: they played they played White River, not Columbia River. So
19:15
Speaker 1: and they played Riverside Secondary. There's a lot of a
19:18
Speaker 1: lot of rivers going around here. But but yeah, just
19:23
Speaker 1: congratulations to Lynden undefeated so far all season long. You know,
19:29
Speaker 1: I heard that I heard somewhere that I read somewhere
19:32
Speaker 1: that Lake Washington is the number one girls team in
19:37
Speaker 1: the state of Washington regardless of classification, and Linden's second.
19:40
Speaker 1: So that's pretty good for a two way team. But
19:43
Speaker 1: this two way bracket is loaded Deer Park Ellensburg. We've
19:48
Speaker 1: seen what Archbishop Murphy can do. There's some really really
19:51
Speaker 1: good teams out there, so so yeah, so we'll see
19:55
Speaker 1: how that all goes. Those all those teams are already
19:58
Speaker 1: into Thursday, and I'm looking ahead a little bit, but
20:01
Speaker 1: you could see another rematch with Archbishop Murphy is very
20:04
Speaker 1: very possible. But first they will take on the winner
20:07
Speaker 1: between Port Angelis and Columbia River on Thursday at five
20:11
Speaker 1: thirty pm, and I will be there to complete the
20:15
Speaker 1: game and give you the breakdown immediately afterwards. So congratulations
20:19
Speaker 1: to the Lions to getting to Yakama once again and
20:23
Speaker 1: getting already all the way to Thursday. So now we're
20:27
Speaker 1: gonna look at the stat leaders for girls basketball and
20:30
Speaker 1: that's brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in London.
20:34
Speaker 1: You can call them at three six zero seven four
20:36
Speaker 1: six four five six seven. Again that's Acceleration Driving School
20:42
Speaker 1: in Linden. Give them a call three six zero seven
20:45
Speaker 1: four six four five six seven. I mean, you look
20:48
Speaker 1: over the stat leaders. It's a lot of the same
20:51
Speaker 1: names here that we've that we've seen some of them.
20:54
Speaker 1: Their season has been over for a week so but
20:58
Speaker 1: because these are all averages and percentages, you know, players
21:04
Speaker 1: that have a lead that are still playing could lower
21:07
Speaker 1: and another player could jump up. So I'm still keeping
21:09
Speaker 1: track of this stuff. Points per game, Finleyparcher of Linden
21:13
Speaker 1: twenty one and a half points per game so far
21:16
Speaker 1: on the season. I think she's at five hundred and
21:19
Speaker 1: thirty seven points scored this year so far, which is
21:22
Speaker 1: just incredible. Rebounds per game Graced Hoogue, the junior center
21:26
Speaker 1: from Nukxack Valley, twelve point nine rebounds a game. I
21:29
Speaker 1: believe she's led every single week since week one, and
21:35
Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what she can do at the
21:37
Speaker 1: state level. You know, I watched Natchi's Valley and they
21:41
Speaker 1: have a lot of their taller players are more skilled players,
21:44
Speaker 1: like they're kind of outside players, So I'm really curious
21:47
Speaker 1: to see who will match up against Dhoague, And I
21:51
Speaker 1: think they might have had, you know, one girl that
21:54
Speaker 1: was more of an inside presence, but I don't remember
21:58
Speaker 1: her doing a ton, So hopefully that'll be a favorable
22:01
Speaker 1: matchup for the Hogue and she can hold her own
22:03
Speaker 1: in the middle of that game against the Rangers as
22:06
Speaker 1: Sis per game. Lexi Robbins of Squalicum five point one
22:10
Speaker 1: assist per game, just a sophomore. Her season is over,
22:13
Speaker 1: but she's probably gonna hang on to that lead for
22:16
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Some other players that are
22:18
Speaker 1: pretty close up there. I think Jemma James, Shaye Davis.
22:23
Speaker 1: It's gonna be they're gonna have to have some huge
22:26
Speaker 1: games at the end of the year to get past
22:28
Speaker 1: five point one per game, so I think Lexi Robbins
22:32
Speaker 1: might have that wrapped up. Same with Steeles per game
22:35
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Larrabee, the sophomore from Ferndale. Her season is over
22:38
Speaker 1: as well, but five point eight steals per game is
22:40
Speaker 1: just ridiculous. I don't know if we're gonna see anything
22:44
Speaker 1: like that for a while. The quartet from Lummy Nation
22:48
Speaker 1: are all right there, second, third, fourth, and fifth though,
22:51
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe if they discuss things and say
22:54
Speaker 1: how about you get all the steals, then maybe that
22:56
Speaker 1: person can jump up, but it's gonna be still a
22:58
Speaker 1: pretty long jump. I think Brooklyn's, you know, probably a
23:02
Speaker 1: full steal per game ahead of all of them, So
23:06
Speaker 1: that's a pretty comfortable lead there. Blocks per game Aspen
23:09
Speaker 1: Barge of Sea home two point eight blocks per game.
23:12
Speaker 1: Her season is over as well. She's been above two
23:15
Speaker 1: basically the whole year, and then she had that huge
23:17
Speaker 1: game I think where she had like thirteen blocks or
23:19
Speaker 1: something like that against Bellingham and that jumped her up
23:22
Speaker 1: to almost three per game, and she ended the season
23:25
Speaker 1: at two point eight. I don't see anybody jumping up
23:27
Speaker 1: and grabbing that. She is gonna finish the year as
23:31
Speaker 1: the leader there. So really impressive as well. And then
23:35
Speaker 1: you go to field goal percentage. Alison Shoemate of Lindi
23:39
Speaker 1: Christian who's still playing, she actually upped her percentage after
23:42
Speaker 1: playing in a state game, which is incredible, sixty four
23:45
Speaker 1: and a half percent. On the year, she's made one
23:48
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight out of her two hundred and
23:49
Speaker 1: fourteen field goal attempts, just great, great down low, knows
23:54
Speaker 1: how to use the glass, knows how to use her
23:56
Speaker 1: body and then finish as well. But I tell you
23:59
Speaker 1: what she would You know, if you leave her open
24:00
Speaker 1: from the outside, she can hit that shot too. She's
24:03
Speaker 1: only attempted two three pointers on the year, she hit
24:05
Speaker 1: them both, so she knows how to score. That's for sure.
24:09
Speaker 1: Three point percentage on the season. Daniel Dykstra from Lynn
24:13
Speaker 1: and Christian who's still playing as well, she's she's down
24:16
Speaker 1: and I put that in quotes down to forty six
24:19
Speaker 1: percent on the year, which is incredible if you think
24:22
Speaker 1: about it, that's better than any of the boys shooting.
24:25
Speaker 1: She's made forty of her eighty seven attempts. That is incredible.
24:29
Speaker 1: What a season she's had. And she's one of those
24:32
Speaker 1: players too. And there's a few of them like that
24:34
Speaker 1: that I've talked about where every time she shoots it,
24:36
Speaker 1: it just looks like it's going in and just has
24:39
Speaker 1: that shooter stroke. And of course the Dykstra family, we've
24:43
Speaker 1: been hearing about them since the seventies, you know, through
24:45
Speaker 1: Lyndon Christians so and the one thing about all of
24:49
Speaker 1: them is they can all shoot, so really really impressive.
24:54
Speaker 1: Daniel Dykstra having a great, great year. Season's not done
24:57
Speaker 1: for her, nor is it done for Finley Parcher, who
24:59
Speaker 1: leads Walking County in free throw percentage as seventy nine
25:03
Speaker 1: and a half percent. She's been above eighty for most
25:06
Speaker 1: of the year, but she dipped just below that last
25:09
Speaker 1: week and she didn't attempt any free throws in this
25:12
Speaker 1: game this week, so she's still sitting at seventy nine
25:15
Speaker 1: and a half percent. She's made fifty eight of her
25:17
Speaker 1: seventy three attempts. Those are the stat leaders, brought to
25:20
Speaker 1: you by Acceleration Driving School in London. And now we're
25:23
Speaker 1: going to jump to boys basketball and the scoreboards again,

28:13
Speaker 1: why I'm able to do more and more and more
28:16
Speaker 1: and keep this going. So thank you all very very much.
28:20
Speaker 1: So for boys basketball again, we're gonna start out at
28:23
Speaker 1: the one B level. Lemon Nation Boys going into the
28:27
Speaker 1: state tournament as the number two seed, which is which
28:31
Speaker 1: is an awesome accomplishment there. They're on quite a winning
28:34
Speaker 1: streak right now too, so I think they've the last
28:37
Speaker 1: game they lost. I don't want to make sure I'm
28:40
Speaker 1: right on this, but I think the last game they
28:42
Speaker 1: lost was against Lakewood, who's the sixth seed in two AA,
28:45
Speaker 1: and that wasn't by very many points. So so Lemon
28:49
Speaker 1: Nations on a little streak going right now. And they
28:52
Speaker 1: were hosting the seven seed Moses Lake Covenant Christian and
28:58
Speaker 1: this is a team that they've matched up with a
29:00
Speaker 1: state recently, so coaches knew each other extremely well. It
29:04
Speaker 1: was a really really tight game. And you know, the
29:08
Speaker 1: other team, the Lions, they knew exactly kind of who
29:12
Speaker 1: they needed to stop, and it was all about stopping
29:14
Speaker 1: Jerome Toby. A lot of double teams out on the perimeter,
29:18
Speaker 1: kind of get him out of his game a little bit,
29:20
Speaker 1: and I don't think he hit a shot until the
29:22
Speaker 1: third quarter, which is really strange. But of course, what
29:26
Speaker 1: Jerome Toby does is he'll always find the open teammates,
29:29
Speaker 1: guys cutting to the hoops. And what was great about
29:31
Speaker 1: that game. It was the seniors. It was Trevon Lee,
29:34
Speaker 1: it was Tony Abrams. These guys had huge games. Each
29:37
Speaker 1: had double digits and scoring. It was a low scoring game.
29:40
Speaker 1: Lem Me Nation did win forty eight to forty three,
29:44
Speaker 1: but really really close, hard fought game, very very physical.
29:47
Speaker 1: There was a moment when starting center DeAndre James had
29:50
Speaker 1: to come out of the game because he couldn't close
29:52
Speaker 1: his mouth. I don't know if he had some sort
29:54
Speaker 1: of jaw injury or something like that, or like a
29:56
Speaker 1: slight dislocation of the job, but that was kind of
29:59
Speaker 1: trumb I'm sitting right there, but then I gotta focus
30:02
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to do stats at the game, and
30:03
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, I start to feel for these
30:06
Speaker 1: kids because it's like, man, it's it's tough out there,
30:09
Speaker 1: and and luckily they knew they were going to go
30:12
Speaker 1: to Spokane, but but my my, my goodness, I mean,
30:18
Speaker 1: it was it was a it was it was a battle.
30:20
Speaker 1: And Moses Lake Covenant Christian is a very very good team.
30:24
Speaker 1: So they pulled out the win forty eight to forty three.
30:27
Speaker 1: So they jumped right into Thursday as well, and they
30:32
Speaker 1: will play the winner of say I gotta make sure
30:36
Speaker 1: I pronounce these names correctly, Acosta and welping It. That's
30:41
Speaker 1: the eight to nine game, and that's the late game.
30:44
Speaker 1: Over in Spokane. Leming Nation will be playing at nine
30:48
Speaker 1: pm as well, so they're they're gonna play the last
30:51
Speaker 1: game on Thursday night out of all the Walking County teams,
30:56
Speaker 1: I guess is the way you can. You can say it,
30:59
Speaker 1: and and if they win that, they go to the
31:01
Speaker 1: semi finals. So again, they'll be playing at nine pm
31:04
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the winner of welping It and Aucusta.
31:09
Speaker 1: And that's the eight to nine games. So congratulations to
31:13
Speaker 1: the Blackhawks for getting this far and also getting the
31:16
Speaker 1: two seed, because then it proved, you know, it shows
31:19
Speaker 1: you know that, it puts you in that bracket where
31:22
Speaker 1: you can beat you know, if you beat the seven,
31:23
Speaker 1: you get all the way to Thursday. They did that
31:26
Speaker 1: and then you get to you know, wait and see
31:28
Speaker 1: who you play against a team that's already played the
31:30
Speaker 1: night before so so they set themselves up in a
31:33
Speaker 1: pretty good position to do some good things. And you know,
31:37
Speaker 1: I said it, my goodness in December, I was like
31:39
Speaker 1: I called it. I was like, they're gonna win the
31:41
Speaker 1: state championship, just because I just couldn't believe a team,
31:44
Speaker 1: for a one B team could be that skilled and
31:47
Speaker 1: have and be that deep. Really, I mean, they have
31:49
Speaker 1: some good, really good players that are coming off the bench.
31:51
Speaker 1: Carson Reevee, I mean he came off the bench, had
31:53
Speaker 1: three steals, three block shots. You know, I heard coach
31:56
Speaker 1: Toby say to him, make yourself known out there, be
31:59
Speaker 1: a presence, play defense. And he went out there and
32:02
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he did. I mean he and so
32:05
Speaker 1: you look at him, Travon Lee and and Tony Abrams
32:10
Speaker 1: and those are you know, three seniors that are this
32:13
Speaker 1: is their this is their chance right here, and so
32:16
Speaker 1: they're making the most of it. They did so well.
32:19
Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Blackhawks. You're gonna go on and
32:22
Speaker 1: play Thursday at nine pm in the quarterfinals. Jumped to
32:27
Speaker 1: one A. There's a couple of teams of that to
32:30
Speaker 1: talk about here, Meridian. They went over to Ellensburg High
32:32
Speaker 1: School on Friday, Night to take on second seeded Royal. Now,
32:36
Speaker 1: the good thing about the Trojans was there were the
32:39
Speaker 1: seventh seed going into this, which meant, no matter what,
32:41
Speaker 1: you're going to Yakama, tough task playing against Royal. They
32:46
Speaker 1: hung with him for a while. There was a little
32:48
Speaker 1: bit of foul trouble there. I think Jager Fife got
32:51
Speaker 1: his third foul a little bit more than halfway through
32:54
Speaker 1: the second quarter, I think May I think James heat
32:57
Speaker 1: All did as well. So those are two big time starters. Uh,
33:00
Speaker 1: they you got to put on the bench a little
33:03
Speaker 1: earlier than you'd want to to ride out for the
33:05
Speaker 1: rest of the half, and I think Roll took advantage
33:08
Speaker 1: a little bit. Meridian just you know, they just weren't
33:11
Speaker 1: hitting their outside shots, which is kind of uncharacteristic. Talon
33:15
Speaker 1: Jenkins was I think over six from behind three point line,
33:18
Speaker 1: six for six in front of it, but he's always
33:21
Speaker 1: good to make two or three a game at least,
33:23
Speaker 1: but his shot was just not on. Still scored twenty points,
33:28
Speaker 1: but it was just a rough one there. And the
33:30
Speaker 1: Night started to take advantage later in the game and
33:33
Speaker 1: keep pulling away as Meridian, you know, trying to come
33:36
Speaker 1: back trying to take more threes. It wasn't happening. So
33:40
Speaker 1: but like I said, Meridian will still play, but now
33:44
Speaker 1: they have to play on Wednesday, so they will go
33:46
Speaker 1: over to Yacamal. They're gonna play on Wednesday at five
33:49
Speaker 1: thirty against over Lake. And you know, that was the
33:55
Speaker 1: state championship game I believe for baseball last year, Meridian
33:59
Speaker 1: versus over Lake, but I think it was over Lake
34:01
Speaker 1: and Overlake teams up with another school, I think Bear Creek.
34:05
Speaker 1: They team up for baseball for some strange reason because
34:09
Speaker 1: both teams made it in state basketball, they got a
34:11
Speaker 1: team up for baseball. Someone please explain that one to me.
34:14
Speaker 1: No wonder they won the state title. But so they
34:18
Speaker 1: will play Overlake. They were the fifteen seed. They upset
34:21
Speaker 1: Riverside sixty two to fifty one. So the Owls will
34:26
Speaker 1: move on take on Meridian and that'll be at five
34:29
Speaker 1: thirty on Wednesday. The winner of that gets top seeded
34:33
Speaker 1: Anny Wright. And I've heard so many things about them,
34:37
Speaker 1: and I've heard it's like a highlight reel watching them play.
34:40
Speaker 1: I saw them last year against Lennon Christian in the
34:43
Speaker 1: semi finals and they were very good. They were very
34:45
Speaker 1: Young any Right won by two points. I believe it
34:48
Speaker 1: was a little bit of an upset, but I was
34:51
Speaker 1: really impressed with what I saw, so I'm not surprised
34:54
Speaker 1: that they are as good as they are this year
34:57
Speaker 1: and the number one ranked team at the one end level.
35:00
Speaker 1: So Meridian, if they can get past over Lake and
35:05
Speaker 1: and get in get into Thursday, then that that'd be
35:08
Speaker 1: huge because, yeah, you're gonna play the top seeded team,
35:10
Speaker 1: and Meridian is one of those teams where you know
35:14
Speaker 1: they can. Definitely they have the talent to do some damage.
35:18
Speaker 1: I mean, they hang with the Lindens and Linden Christians
35:20
Speaker 1: of the world, so they they can do that. Will
35:24
Speaker 1: they do that? It's gonna be tougher, but they definitely can.
35:27
Speaker 1: They have the talent. They have a lot of big
35:29
Speaker 1: time senior leadership guys, and coach Shane Stace has been
35:33
Speaker 1: doing it for twenty years now, so he's no stranger
35:35
Speaker 1: to this and he went over on Wednesday last year
35:38
Speaker 1: lost a seat in Catholic. That was the first state
35:41
Speaker 1: tournament game I ever saw live well while while working.
35:45
Speaker 1: I went over in the nineties for during when I
35:47
Speaker 1: was in the band, but so that was an experience
35:51
Speaker 1: for me kind of seeing the bright lights and everything,
35:53
Speaker 1: and it was tough because you go all the way
35:55
Speaker 1: over there, you play a morning game, you lose, you're done.
35:57
Speaker 1: So this is this is one where if they win,
36:00
Speaker 1: they're guaranteed two more games at least. So try to
36:04
Speaker 1: get that win. That will be Wednesday at five point
36:07
Speaker 1: thirty against over Lake. Yeah, I gotta believe the Trojans
36:12
Speaker 1: can pull that one out and then see what happens
36:15
Speaker 1: against Annie Wright. Also the Linden Christian Boys, they are
36:18
Speaker 1: the three seed. They played against Seton Catholic on Saturday.
36:23
Speaker 1: Both teams are gonna go to Yakama. But it's more
36:25
Speaker 1: it's about you know, you whin you go to Thursday.
36:27
Speaker 1: If you lose, you play on Wednesday. Linden Christian was
36:30
Speaker 1: It was a pretty close game in the early on
36:34
Speaker 1: Seton Catholic star sophomore six foot six Caden Wilson got
36:37
Speaker 1: into some falco but he got his second foul kind
36:40
Speaker 1: of late in the second quarter, or I'm sorry, it
36:43
Speaker 1: might have even been the first quarter, and with like
36:47
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds to go, and I thought, okay, they could
36:49
Speaker 1: sub him out, but maybe they were just waiting for
36:51
Speaker 1: the quarter and all of a sudden, he gets his
36:53
Speaker 1: third foul like ten seconds later, and holy cow, that's tough.
37:00
Speaker 1: And your star player gets three fouls in the first quarter,
37:03
Speaker 1: and they ended up kind of used him sparingly, you know,
37:08
Speaker 1: here and there, and he did eventually fell out late,
37:13
Speaker 1: but by that time Linn and Kristian had taken advantage
37:16
Speaker 1: playing really good perimeter defense. I thought, and h and Luke,
37:22
Speaker 1: Luke van Coten just played the game of his life.
37:24
Speaker 1: And you know when you when you watch the links
37:27
Speaker 1: play where he stands out as usually kind of spot
37:30
Speaker 1: up threes, hitting him from the corner kind of gets
37:34
Speaker 1: he kind of gets lost in the shop a little
37:35
Speaker 1: bit because you know, Dykster's doing stuff, Heinz is doing stuff,
37:39
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, oh, and then they kick
37:40
Speaker 1: it to Van Coten who's wide open to the corner.
37:42
Speaker 1: He hits. He hits a handful of threes, and that's
37:44
Speaker 1: kind of his game. Well, well, it's great is that
37:47
Speaker 1: he's six foot five. He was able to grab like
37:49
Speaker 1: thirteen rebounds, he blocked three shots, so he did a
37:52
Speaker 1: lot of things defensively as well in that game, and
37:54
Speaker 1: I thought he really had a dynamic game Gannon Dykster,
37:58
Speaker 1: who missed the game last last week, was able to
38:01
Speaker 1: play this one. I believe he played all thirty two minutes,
38:04
Speaker 1: led them and led them in scoring. You know, he
38:07
Speaker 1: was not one hundred percent. I saw him in the
38:09
Speaker 1: training room after the game getting ice ready. Uh so
38:12
Speaker 1: he but you know, he's a senior and he's the
38:15
Speaker 1: leaguing scorer in Walkom County and he's just not you know,
38:17
Speaker 1: He's like, after this, I only got you know, three
38:20
Speaker 1: games left at the most, Like this is this is it?
38:22
Speaker 1: Like I I there's no you know, this is it?
38:26
Speaker 1: So I gotta do something. And he did. He did.
38:30
Speaker 1: He was a part two years ago of a state
38:32
Speaker 1: championship team. Last year they got third in state. So
38:35
Speaker 1: he's by far the most experienced guy. Van van Coten
38:38
Speaker 1: played uh, pretty good minutes last year, but was coming
38:41
Speaker 1: off the bench but for the most part, and Dawson
38:43
Speaker 1: Heins as well, but for the most part, it's all
38:46
Speaker 1: new guys and uh and they're really showing some stuff.
38:50
Speaker 1: Kayden Veldman came off the bench as well last year
38:52
Speaker 1: as a freshman. Him and Heins both as freshmen were
38:55
Speaker 1: big time guys off the bench. But they weren't mainly
38:58
Speaker 1: that they weren't part of that main you know, the
39:01
Speaker 1: main five. So so again Dawson heintz. My goodness, he
39:06
Speaker 1: had a dunk right in traffic. I mean it's a
39:08
Speaker 1: six foot guard that does it. That's a little different
39:11
Speaker 1: than you know, some six to six guys, six' eight
39:13
Speaker 1: guy at the high school. Level so that was really
39:16
Speaker 1: cool to. See it really got everybody fired. Up Lindy
39:19
Speaker 1: christian won that game seventy four to fifty, seven Seating.
39:23
Speaker 1: Catholic though they're still alive and they are. Dangerous they
39:28
Speaker 1: go over to the top side of the bracket to
39:29
Speaker 1: play Against kashmeir winner Plays zilla in that, one But
39:33
Speaker 1: Lindy christian they will await their fate On thursday and
39:37
Speaker 1: they will play at seven point fifteen On thursday night
39:40
Speaker 1: against the winner Of Bellevue christian And, kings a couple
39:43
Speaker 1: of teams that you, know they've battled for, years and
39:48
Speaker 1: WHEN i look at the history of, things you talk
39:50
Speaker 1: about a lot of district playoff games And Mount vernon
39:52
Speaker 1: between with those two teams And Lyndon, christians so a
39:55
Speaker 1: couple of teams they're pretty familiar. With so congratulations to links
39:59
Speaker 1: they are three seed in the ONE a state, tournament
40:02
Speaker 1: and they were already set to play On thursday night
40:05
Speaker 1: at seven, fifteen and we now we jump to TWO
40:09
Speaker 1: a and it's The Linnen. Boys lyndon the number one
40:13
Speaker 1: ranked team in the state for TWO, a and so
40:16
Speaker 1: they got to play At Mount vernon as well part
40:19
Speaker 1: of that five. HEADER i believe it was the fourth,
40:22
Speaker 1: game and they Hosted Mark, morris a team they've played
40:25
Speaker 1: a lot over the years in the state. Tournament it
40:28
Speaker 1: seems like every year they run Into Mark. Morris at some,
40:31
Speaker 1: POINT i was talking To Jim carberry From Walcome hoops
40:33
Speaker 1: about that and he brought up a good. Point he, goes,
40:36
Speaker 1: well that tells you how Good Mark morris is as.
40:38
Speaker 1: Well they're always. There AND i was, like, yeah that's
40:41
Speaker 1: a that's a really good. Point so you start seeing
40:42
Speaker 1: the same teams a, lot we kind of take for
40:44
Speaker 1: granted That lyndon's always. There when you start meeting up
40:47
Speaker 1: against the same, teams you start, realizing you, know, oh
40:50
Speaker 1: well they're always good, Too so that kind of makes. Sense.
40:54
Speaker 1: Linden they just kind of methodically do their, thing but
40:58
Speaker 1: they're always playing such great defense and you look up
41:01
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and or the second quarter in
41:03
Speaker 1: the opposing team has like thirteen. Points it's like halfway
41:06
Speaker 1: through the second and you're just like That linden defense
41:09
Speaker 1: is so, good and so much of it Is Brody,
41:10
Speaker 1: price who gave us the. Intro he comes off the.
41:13
Speaker 1: Bench he's a spark. Plug he could do so many.
41:16
Speaker 1: Things it's just he has one motion all the. Time
41:18
Speaker 1: and it's no. SURPRISE i, mean he's An All conference
41:21
Speaker 1: defensive player for, football so it's it's it's LIKE i,
41:26
Speaker 1: said it's no. Surprise he's so much fun to. Watch
41:29
Speaker 1: he is worth the price of. Admission And Ty jorgensen
41:34
Speaker 1: And Jack stapleton did some great things against the other
41:37
Speaker 1: team's bigs down, low playing good, defense grabbing. Rebounds they
41:42
Speaker 1: both scored in double. Digits Spencer adams hit a couple
41:44
Speaker 1: of threes back to back the. Way it was huge
41:47
Speaker 1: in the third. QUARTER i believe they scored like twenty
41:49
Speaker 1: seven points in the third, quarter which again you look
41:51
Speaker 1: at that, coaching, right you go into halftime and you
41:54
Speaker 1: make adjustments and you can come out and have a
41:56
Speaker 1: big third. QUARTER i always point to the good coaches coach.
42:00
Speaker 1: Teams that's what happens so not surprised about. That and
42:03
Speaker 1: then of course you bring it all together With Brent,
42:05
Speaker 1: hepner who SCORED i believe twenty three, points had four.
42:10

44:56
Speaker 1: prep Sas sentia and and they just on in the,
45:00
Speaker 1: fall and their big thing was they wanted to make
45:03
Speaker 1: sure they're sponsoring anything with boys and girls' sports, equally
45:07
Speaker 1: AND i love that that. Was that's such a cool
45:10
Speaker 1: thing that they. Did and and you know they want
45:13
Speaker 1: to do as much as they. Can and then they
45:15
Speaker 1: might be listening to this and saying what can we
45:17
Speaker 1: do for the. Spring AND i have some ideas with
45:19
Speaker 1: standings and stuff like that with, graphics So i'll be
45:22
Speaker 1: reaching out, soon but give them a. Call three six
45:26
Speaker 1: zero seven four six four, five six. Seven there is
45:30
Speaker 1: one change in the stat, leaders which is unique this
45:33
Speaker 1: time of. Year we'll get to that a little, bit
45:36
Speaker 1: but points per Game Gannon dykstra still leading at twenty
45:41
Speaker 1: four point four points per, game Brand heppener right behind
45:46
Speaker 1: him at twenty two point. Two those, two those two
45:48
Speaker 1: have just been so phenomenal this. Year both have scored
45:51
Speaker 1: over five hundred points on this season and looking to
45:54
Speaker 1: score some more as the tournament moves on here this
45:58
Speaker 1: week In. Yakoma rebounds per game Still Caden veldman Of Lindon,
46:02
Speaker 1: christian the sophomore forward nine point six rebounds per, game
46:06
Speaker 1: holding onto that pretty. WELL i don't think there's a
46:08
Speaker 1: chance that he could lose. That he could probably go
46:10
Speaker 1: zero zero zero in the last three games of the
46:13
Speaker 1: year and still be the leading rebounders per Game assists per.
46:17
Speaker 1: Game Jerome toby from Lumin nation six point. Two really
46:21
Speaker 1: close to him, though Is Gannen, dkster who's averaging six per.
46:23
Speaker 1: Game they're both. Moved they're both already on To, thursday
46:28
Speaker 1: so they're guaranteed at least two more, games hopefully, Three
46:32
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that ends up by the end
46:34
Speaker 1: of The by the end of the, year which is
46:35
Speaker 1: also the end of the, week and steals per Game
46:38
Speaker 1: Jerome toby at four point. TWO i don't think he
46:41
Speaker 1: can get caught. There another, great just tremendous defensive year for,
46:46
Speaker 1: him blocks per. Game Caden veldman at two point. ONE
46:50
Speaker 1: i believe there are some players that are around one
46:52
Speaker 1: point eight that their season's, done SO i would have
46:57
Speaker 1: to do the math really. Quickly but if he plays
46:59
Speaker 1: in three games and does not get a, block it
47:02
Speaker 1: might go down to one point. Eight it'd be really.
47:04
Speaker 1: Close So, caiden if you're, listening all you need is
47:08
Speaker 1: just won and you've got. It so AND I i
47:12
Speaker 1: think he'll be pretty darn. Good and by the, way
47:14
Speaker 1: he took an amazing charge that was called as a
47:17
Speaker 1: block uh in that game In Mount, vernon and SO
47:21
Speaker 1: i know that he is a shot, blocker so when
47:23
Speaker 1: you give up your body like, that it's a little.
47:26
Speaker 1: Different but you, know he was trying to get the
47:29
Speaker 1: big guy From Seaton catholic fouled out AND i thought
47:32
Speaker 1: it was a, great great, job but the call did
47:33
Speaker 1: not go his. Way field goal percentage, Again caiden, development
47:37
Speaker 1: this is his third category is leading in and he
47:39
Speaker 1: even up to it sixty nine point eight. Percent, boy
47:42
Speaker 1: if he can get up to seventy percent on the,
47:44
Speaker 1: year that be. Incredible sixty percent is already. Crazy he's
47:48
Speaker 1: made one hundred and eighteen out of his one hundred
47:50
Speaker 1: and sixty nine shots on the. Season three point field goal.
47:54
Speaker 1: Percentage it's a new, one back up To luke Van
47:57
Speaker 1: coten now From lyndon Kri after that big, GAME i
48:01
Speaker 1: think he hit five of eleven in that, Game so
48:03
Speaker 1: he's up to forty two point six. Percent he's now
48:06
Speaker 1: made fifty two threes on the. Year and when you're
48:10
Speaker 1: six five and you can shoot like, that that's. Amazing
48:12
Speaker 1: and speaking of six' five and shooting, like that How
48:14
Speaker 1: About jonah Brolowski of ferndale. The senior his, season's over
48:19
Speaker 1: but he is still leading the free throw percentage of
48:22
Speaker 1: eighty five point. Two percent he made forty six free throws,
48:26
Speaker 1: this year only. Missed eight as that is getting the
48:31
Speaker 1: ball and knocking. It. Down man so he had a
48:34
Speaker 1: tremendous career and, a great great. Senior YEAR and i
48:38
Speaker 1: have a feeling we'll be seeing him at this, seniors
48:41
