- 8:17Speaker 1: week was the district tournament. This past week one A
- 8:20Speaker 1: and two AIR combined, but for the most part it's
- 8:22Speaker 1: two ways. So in that tournament, Linden defeated Bellingham forty
- 8:25Speaker 1: nine to nine. Squalkum defeated lake With twenty one to fourteen,
- 8:29Speaker 1: both loser out games, and then Linden defeated Squalaum twenty
- 8:33Speaker 1: eight to fourteen. Both teams moved on to the regional
- 8:36Speaker 1: tournament kind of the District one and two tournament. In
- 8:39Speaker 1: that tournament, Linden defeated Lindbergh forty two to zero in
- 8:42Speaker 1: the first round. Squalkum beat rent In thirty five to
- 8:45Speaker 1: seven in the first round. They both move on to
- 8:47Speaker 1: the semis where Linden beat Chief Self forty nine to seven.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Squalicum upset top ranked Cedar Crush twenty one to fourteen,
- 8:54Speaker 1: which meant it was an all Walking County championship again
- 8:58Speaker 1: with lead with Linden and Squalkam, and Lynden beat Squalkam
- 9:01Speaker 1: twenty one to fourteen. Both teams have advanced to the
- 9:05Speaker 1: state tournament, so that's a pretty and to have a
- 9:11Speaker 1: score of that close, so that tells you that both
- 9:13Speaker 1: teams are pretty darn good. Linden's going into the state
- 9:16Speaker 1: tournament as the number one seed, Squalkm going in as
- 9:19Speaker 1: the number three seeds, so congratulations to both of them.
- 9:23Speaker 1: That's really really cool first year of the state tournament
- 9:26Speaker 1: with the sport, and so that's awesome. I mean, I
- 9:30Speaker 1: know both coaches, Mike Regis at Lyndon and Reed Richardson
- 9:35Speaker 1: at Squalkum, so I'm super happy for both of them
- 9:38Speaker 1: and hopefully they'll be able to keep their season going
- 9:40Speaker 1: for a while. The first round of the state tournament
- 9:42Speaker 1: will begin on Saturday, the seventh. Squalk Come is the
- 9:45Speaker 1: three seed and we'll take on Squim. Lindon is the
- 9:47Speaker 1: number one seed and will face Chief Sealth who they
- 9:50Speaker 1: defeated forty nine to seven in the semis of the
- 9:52Speaker 1: regional tournament. Both will be on Saturday at Federal Way
- 9:57Speaker 1: Memorial Stadiums. Times are unknown this moment. In three a
- 10:02Speaker 1: like football, Ferndale was beat by Top Bring to Okarbor
- 10:05Speaker 1: in the first round of the district tournament and then
- 10:07Speaker 1: they and that was forty two to seven. Then they
- 10:09Speaker 1: fell to Everett fifty one to seven and were eliminated.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Let's talk about boys swimming and diving, and of course
- 10:15Speaker 1: when we do, we have to talk about staff for insurance.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Go check them out in person, nineteen o three Front
- 10:21Speaker 1: Street in London. Give them a call three six zero
- 10:24Speaker 1: seven four six eighty eight zero three. Let's go to
- 10:29Speaker 1: the top standings here, and I think there's only one.
- 10:34Speaker 1: I believe there's only one meet left, even though everyone
- 10:37Speaker 1: shows they've had nine meets so far, and I believe
- 10:42Speaker 1: that there's ten teams. And so this week maybe it's
- 10:46Speaker 1: a non conference meet on Friday, but they're getting ready
- 10:49Speaker 1: for the postseason. The b races will be on Saturday
- 10:52Speaker 1: here in Bellingham at Arnie Hanna Aquatic Center. And so
- 10:57Speaker 1: it ended up with Anacortus winning the conference championship. Not
- 11:00Speaker 1: they ended up nine to oh Malvernon eight and one,
- 11:03Speaker 1: Okarver six two and one, Bellingham five to three and one,
- 11:06Speaker 1: see Home five and four, Lynnon four and five, Ferndale
- 11:09Speaker 1: three and six, Squalkum and Sedar Woolly both two and seven,

- 11:26Speaker 1: of one minute fifty eight point twenty nine seconds. In
- 11:29Speaker 1: the two hundred freestyle, Will Burrella of seahome I believe
- 11:32Speaker 1: he's just a freshman. Has the best time two minutes
- 11:35Speaker 1: one point sixty one seconds. In the two hundred individual medley,
- 11:38Speaker 1: it's Marley Lotts of Bellingham two minutes seventeen point nine
- 11:42Speaker 1: to one seconds. I believe that's a new I believe
- 11:46Speaker 1: he took that this week, so congratulations to him on
- 11:49Speaker 1: moving up for the list. Here on the fifty freestyle,
- 11:52Speaker 1: it's Ferndale's Odin Overson with a time of twenty three

- 12:44Speaker 1: Will Burrella with a time of one minute forty two
- 12:46Speaker 1: point eight three seconds. And the one hundred backstroke this
- 12:50Speaker 1: could I think this is a new name as well,
- 12:52Speaker 1: a new top time. It's Seahomes own Reed with a
- 12:55Speaker 1: time of one minute six point three six seconds. In
- 12:59Speaker 1: the one hundred breaststroke, it's Sea Homes, Will Burrella one

- 14:03Speaker 1: mass and of course the one in Ferndale, where I
- 14:05Speaker 1: find myself the most often, probably because it's like three
- 14:08Speaker 1: miles away. If we take a look at the standings here,

- 15:53Speaker 1: with girls basketball. Congratulations to Rebecca Sores. She grabbed twenty
- 15:58Speaker 1: six rebounds in that loss to Lakewood. That is the
- 16:02Speaker 1: new school record. Pretty pretty incredible number, twenty six rebounds,
- 16:08Speaker 1: So that's a I don't know what the county record is.
- 16:11Speaker 1: It might be more than that. It could be Kim
- 16:14Speaker 1: Hansen from Nuksack Valley. I'm not quite sure, but yeah,
- 16:19Speaker 1: congratulations to Rebecca Soris on breaking the school record for
- 16:22Speaker 1: rebounds at Mount Baker. You know, it's good to see this.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Could see Abby White comeback for Ferndale. They got a
- 16:30Speaker 1: couple of wins. They're starting to get healthy again. They
- 16:33Speaker 1: did lose that one a Standward. It was a non
- 16:35Speaker 1: conference game Nooksack Valley. You know, they they've been without
- 16:38Speaker 1: Shaley Davis now now they're without Reagan Burke. And that's
- 16:42Speaker 1: a really really tough thing right there, because now you
- 16:44Speaker 1: put a lot of a lot on Grace d Hoague
- 16:47Speaker 1: and Peyton bartle Till to lead you and other players
- 16:50Speaker 1: are starting to step up. You start to see Natalie
- 16:52Speaker 1: Harmon and Caitlin Bion Delilo play more minutes, seal them
- 16:57Speaker 1: and squal of them both with you know, going to
- 16:59Speaker 1: and oh this would be Now they're gonna be playing
- 17:00Speaker 1: each other this upcoming week. That's gonna be the big
- 17:03Speaker 1: big game to watch. Obviously, the Linden Linden Christian game.
- 17:07Speaker 1: You know Linden girls, like I said, sixty five straight wins.
- 17:10Speaker 1: You know, their goal is to always keep other teams
- 17:13Speaker 1: under forty points. Uh. They did that against Lindon Christian,
- 17:16Speaker 1: who just scored thirty five. You know, it was a
- 17:19Speaker 1: ten point game after one quarter, but the second and
- 17:21Speaker 1: third quarter were pretty close. I thought that, you know
- 17:24Speaker 1: it was what was interesting about it was that Linden
- 17:28Speaker 1: Christian didn't attempt that many threes. I mean, it's probably
- 17:30Speaker 1: their least amount of attempted threes all year by far.
- 17:34Speaker 1: And I'm curious if that was by design or if
- 17:36Speaker 1: that was kind of based on how Linden was playing
- 17:39Speaker 1: them defensively. I did reach out to Brady Bomber. I
- 17:42Speaker 1: wanted to do an interview for this podcast. He was
- 17:45Speaker 1: unavailable today to do it, but it was just a
- 17:48Speaker 1: curious thing, and so I was kind of kind of
- 17:52Speaker 1: wondering about that. But I think that you know, the
- 17:55Speaker 1: game doesn't really decide much as far as you know
- 17:58Speaker 1: one A and two A and placement and all that.
- 18:01Speaker 1: But what it'll do, excuse me, is it will show
- 18:07Speaker 1: what really good teams can do against them or might
- 18:10Speaker 1: do against them, and so they it will help both
- 18:12Speaker 1: of them going into the state tournament. So that's that's
- 18:16Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I think it's a really good thing.
- 18:18Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the stat leaders. Of course,
- 18:21Speaker 1: they brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Many of you out there are learning to drive, and
- 18:25Speaker 1: I strongly advise you to check out Acceleration Driving School
- 18:28Speaker 1: in Lindon. Give Kevin a call at three six zero seven,
- 18:32Speaker 1: four six or five six seven. Tell them you heard
- 18:35Speaker 1: about them on the Walcome Preps podcast. A lot of
- 18:40Speaker 1: these names are the same as a matter of fact.
- 18:43Speaker 1: As I look, I think they're all the same as
- 18:45Speaker 1: they were last week. They're just different numbers now. All
- 18:49Speaker 1: the shooting and scoring is all led by Finley Partcher
- 18:52Speaker 1: of Lindon. She's averaging twenty three point two points per game,
- 18:55Speaker 1: sixty six point five percent field goal percentage, eighty three
- 18:59Speaker 1: point three percent a free throw percentage, and forty two
- 19:02Speaker 1: point nine percent on three point percentage. Rebounds per game
- 19:07Speaker 1: Rebecca Sores and Mount Baker up to fifteen point four
- 19:10Speaker 1: rebounds per game, especially after that big night she had
- 19:12Speaker 1: against Lakewood. She's also leading in blocks per game at
- 19:15Speaker 1: three point one, although Aspen Barge is really close KNW.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I think she's up to two point nine, So that's
- 19:21Speaker 1: going to come right down to the end. With those two,
- 19:23Speaker 1: I would imagine a CIS per game. Alena ray Bang
- 19:26Speaker 1: of elimination at five point five and steals per game
- 19:28Speaker 1: Jemma James of elimination at five point eight. Oh excuse me, man,
- 19:39Speaker 1: I'm sorry. When we go to the look at everything
- 19:44Speaker 1: now and we look at the possible players of the week,
- 19:47Speaker 1: Player of the Week is brought to you by Anytime Fitness.
- 19:50Speaker 1: Check them out in Linden, Linden North and Ferndale and
- 19:53Speaker 1: there was a few players to choose from here that
- 19:56Speaker 1: had some big weeks. Coli Harper squall of them had
- 19:58Speaker 1: a big week. Taylor to of Seaholme had a big week.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Brooklyn Therabie and Kayla Washington, both at Ferndale, had big,
- 20:07Speaker 1: big weeks. You know, fin departures seems like always has
- 20:11Speaker 1: a big week. I thought, I thought, jocelynessis played really
- 20:13Speaker 1: well this week. But when I look at everything as
- 20:17Speaker 1: a whole, I'm going with Taylor Terrell of Seaholme. I
- 20:20Speaker 1: thought that, you know, see home going to and o
- 20:23Speaker 1: this week against against uh, you know Cied Joe Woolli
- 20:28Speaker 1: and Bellingham, both of them were at home. She played
- 20:31Speaker 1: extremely well. I was actually at the Cedroo Woolie game,
- 20:35Speaker 1: and which was awesome because I got to catch up
- 20:37Speaker 1: with Ken Crawford, who's the coach of Holy Girls. I
- 20:41Speaker 1: can't believe that he remembered me. I hadn't talked to
- 20:43Speaker 1: him about twenty five years and uh, I just had
- 20:46Speaker 1: a fun conversation with him before the game. And when
- 20:50Speaker 1: I was just a young punk writing at the belly
- 20:52Speaker 1: Am Harold he was he was so I don't know
- 20:57Speaker 1: how to explain it, like he was such a teacher
- 20:59Speaker 1: for me as a reporter, as a young reporter. You know,
- 21:03Speaker 1: after the game, we go into an office and just
- 21:06Speaker 1: talk basketball for like thirty minutes. It was just like
- 21:09Speaker 1: it was so cool just to hear him talk about basketball,
- 21:12Speaker 1: and yeah, just really really fun. And I hope too,
- 21:17Speaker 1: I reached out to him. I hope to hear back
- 21:19Speaker 1: about maybe getting some old stats and stuff like that
- 21:22Speaker 1: from those Bellingham teams that he coached throughout the eighties
- 21:24Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So we will see. But congratulations
- 21:29Speaker 1: to Taylor Terrell of Seahome, the sophomore guard. She is
- 21:32Speaker 1: your anytime Fitness player of the week. Let's shift our

- 22:29Speaker 1: one record. This week they beat Oak Harbor sixty six
- 22:32Speaker 1: forty seven, and of course defeating Linden seventy one to
- 22:35Speaker 1: fifty four. We'll talk about that game in a little bit.
- 22:38Speaker 1: Lemon Nation sixteen one and one, they did not have
- 22:40Speaker 1: a game this week. They did play an alumni game,
- 22:43Speaker 1: but no official league games or anything like that. This
- 22:46Speaker 1: week Lynden thirteen and six. They beat Mount Bakers seventy
- 22:51Speaker 1: five to thirty nine, and then they lost to Linden
- 22:53Speaker 1: Christians seventy one to fifty four. Seahom is now twelve
- 22:57Speaker 1: and six. They lost to Cedral Woolley seventy six to

- 23:17Speaker 1: beat Granit Falls fifty nine to thirty nine, and beat
- 23:20Speaker 1: Squalalum fifty one to thirty six. They're kind of on
- 23:23Speaker 1: the up trend right now, right in time for district playoffs,
- 23:27Speaker 1: right around the corner with that second available seed after
- 23:31Speaker 1: Lennon Christian, they seem to kind of have the grip
- 23:34Speaker 1: on that right now. Bellingham is seven and eleven. They
- 23:38Speaker 1: beat Squalicum sixty two to fifty three. They lost a
- 23:40Speaker 1: Sea Home sixty five to fifty five. Burndale is six
- 23:45Speaker 1: and eleven. They lost to Meridian seventy two to sixty one,
- 23:48Speaker 1: but beat Blaine seventy four to fifty three. Meridian is
- 23:51Speaker 1: now six and thirteen. They beat Ferndale seventy two to
- 23:54Speaker 1: sixty one and lost to Mount Vernon sixty two to
- 23:56Speaker 1: thirty eight. Blaine dropped a couple of games there now
- 23:59Speaker 1: four fifteen. They lost the Lake with seventy two to
- 24:01Speaker 1: thirty nine and lost to Ferndale seventy four to fifty three,
- 24:04Speaker 1: and Mount Baker dropped him two more. They are now
- 24:08Speaker 1: three and thirteen. They lost to Linnen seventy five to
- 24:10Speaker 1: thirty nine and lost the Lake with seventy one sixty five,
- 24:13Speaker 1: which was an impressive game. Mount Baker really given it
- 24:17Speaker 1: the Lake of Cougar's everything they could handle on the
- 24:20Speaker 1: road too, so that was impressive outing by the Mountaineers.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Just could not get that win. I was at a game.
- 24:28Speaker 1: I was at one of the games, the Ferndale Meridian game.
- 24:32Speaker 1: It was at Meridian. I was, and it was crazy
- 24:34Speaker 1: because I was only there for the first half and
- 24:36Speaker 1: it was just back and forth, back and forth, back
- 24:38Speaker 1: and forth, and Ferndale was up I think not seven
- 24:40Speaker 1: or nine after the first half, and I thought, I
- 24:43Speaker 1: think they kind of got control of this and Meridian
- 24:46Speaker 1: ended up winning. They played great in the second half.
- 24:50Speaker 1: The game that Daniel Larson had, he had one of
- 24:52Speaker 1: those games that was like that he'll never forget. I mean,
- 24:56Speaker 1: I think he was like, I'm trying to remember the
- 24:59Speaker 1: exact number. He might have been sixteen for seventeen verse
- 25:04Speaker 1: fifteen for sixteen or something like that. He only missed
- 25:06Speaker 1: one shot. He scored thirty three points. He took a three,
- 25:09Speaker 1: which he does not shoot threes. He made that one
- 25:11Speaker 1: like he couldn't miss. It was the pure definition of
- 25:15Speaker 1: someone being in the zone. Was Daniel Larson, the senior
- 25:19Speaker 1: center for the Meridian Trojans. He led them to the victory.
- 25:22Speaker 1: He was huge. That three pointer that he hit I
- 25:24Speaker 1: think actually tied the game when they were coming back.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Very very impressive. Joe Harward on that same night sur
- 25:32Speaker 1: passed one thousand career points. And yeah, and I knew
- 25:38Speaker 1: it was coming because all of a sudden, I'm getting
- 25:41Speaker 1: emails and texts from coaches and family members and all
- 25:44Speaker 1: sorts of people saying, how many points does did Joe
- 25:46Speaker 1: score this on his freshman year? How many games did
- 25:48Speaker 1: you play? How many this? How many this? And I'm
- 25:50Speaker 1: like sending everybody numbers, and I'm like, oh, so he
- 25:52Speaker 1: must be getting close to something. So I looked up
- 25:54Speaker 1: and said, oh, yeah, he's right there. He's going to
- 25:56Speaker 1: give a thousand points soon. And he did and that
- 25:59Speaker 1: was in a big win against Squalkum, and a couple
- 26:02Speaker 1: of days later they did. They lost a Sea home
- 26:04Speaker 1: in it and in the Belling Home rivalry. And I
- 26:07Speaker 1: tell you what, for those of you that remember the
- 26:10Speaker 1: Bellingham Sea home games from the eighties, this is what
- 26:13Speaker 1: it was like. I mean, it was a packed house.
- 26:14Speaker 1: You could not move. It was fantastic and it was
- 26:19Speaker 1: a good game. I mean, see him won by ten,
- 26:22Speaker 1: but it was much much closer than that. I think
- 26:25Speaker 1: it was even tied with like three minutes to go.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Calvin van Hofwagen had a huge game twenty five points,
- 26:30Speaker 1: seven three pointers. But Nolan Wright I think he had
- 26:34Speaker 1: like twenty points in ten assists or some something crazy
- 26:37Speaker 1: like that. And he's not a guy that usually takes
- 26:40Speaker 1: on the scoring load, but he took it on that day.
- 26:44Speaker 1: And that It was cool because the game was on YouTube.
- 26:47Speaker 1: The Seaholme production class does an amazing job with multiple
- 26:53Speaker 1: camera angles and they head announcers and they just did
- 26:57Speaker 1: a great, great job. It was really fun to see
- 26:59Speaker 1: very crystal ClearCase a too. It was awesome. So that
- 27:02Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. That was that kind of
- 27:04Speaker 1: that first night or second night maybe of me not
- 27:06Speaker 1: feeling well, so I was able to just lay in
- 27:08Speaker 1: bed and watch that, which was which was really really cool.
- 27:11Speaker 1: And it was just was it was too bad that
- 27:14Speaker 1: I couldn't be out there for that. And of course
- 27:17Speaker 1: the Linen Linden Christian game on Saturday, you know, Elsie
- 27:21Speaker 1: came out, they scored the first couple of baskets, and
- 27:24Speaker 1: Linnen got hot and Malachi Canaan started hitting a bunch
- 27:27Speaker 1: of threes and they were up. Man, I think they
- 27:30Speaker 1: were up by like it was double digits. And they
- 27:33Speaker 1: didn't have Spencer Adams in there. They're arresting them, and
- 27:35Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is this is looking like
- 27:38Speaker 1: Linen has kind of doing everything that they want to do.
- 27:41Speaker 1: And then Elsie kind of started chiseling back in the
- 27:43Speaker 1: late in the second quarter, and then Dawson Heintz had
- 27:45Speaker 1: a deep three right at the buzzer to bring them
- 27:48Speaker 1: within two. And that was a huge moment because you
- 27:51Speaker 1: use all that momentum going in the second half, and
- 27:53Speaker 1: they just rode that momentum and outscored them by twenty
- 27:57Speaker 1: and in the second half or it was around twenty
- 28:01Speaker 1: nineteen or twenty, and well it was Dawsen Heinz just
- 28:06Speaker 1: became possessed and took control of that game. Scored thirty
- 28:10Speaker 1: one points, had three dunks, two of them that counted.
- 28:14Speaker 1: One was on was a follow up, was like an
- 28:17Speaker 1: offensive rebound put back dunk, but there was a foul
- 28:20Speaker 1: on the play on you know that moments before, so
- 28:23Speaker 1: it didn't count. But I tell you what he is
- 28:27Speaker 1: just I mean, he is worth the admission. I tell
- 28:30Speaker 1: you to watch him play. It's the you know, it's
- 28:32Speaker 1: the three point shooting, it's the dunking, it's the defense,
- 28:34Speaker 1: it's everything. And Lindy Christian ended up winning that game
- 28:38Speaker 1: seventy one to fifty four, and and man it is
- 28:43Speaker 1: it was just a lot of fun basketball this week.
- 28:45Speaker 1: And like I said too, like Knuckzak Valley, they're really
- 28:47Speaker 1: starting to kind of figure it out. They lost Anna
- 28:49Speaker 1: Cordis by six. I mean, that's that's impressive. Anna cordis Is.
- 28:54Speaker 1: They're loaded, and and so for Nooks, I think Knuxsack
- 28:58Speaker 1: Valley is starting to kind of find their groove. They
- 29:00Speaker 1: were playing a lot of guys. Now they're playing like
- 29:01Speaker 1: seven or eight. Tyler Martin's back, so they got their
- 29:06Speaker 1: rotation kind of how they want it, and they got
- 29:08Speaker 1: they got their roles kind of how they won. And
- 29:10Speaker 1: you know, a lot of new varsity guys this year.
- 29:12Speaker 1: And coach hoo tink is is you know, got some
- 29:16Speaker 1: good schemes going. And boy he was coach was such
- 29:18Speaker 1: a good player too when when when he played. So
- 29:21Speaker 1: it's just fun to see these players that I actually
- 29:23Speaker 1: covered when they were in high school now coaching, and
- 29:28Speaker 1: I see it up and down. I see Brady Barmer
- 29:30Speaker 1: and Chascock and I mean, you know all these guys.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I mean they were players that I saw covered when
- 29:36Speaker 1: I was when they were in high school. So it
- 29:38Speaker 1: is weird to see, but it's really really cool. Let's
- 29:41Speaker 1: take a look at the stat leaders now. Of course,
- 29:43Speaker 1: stat Leaders brought to you by Acceleration Driving School and
- 29:46Speaker 1: Linden and Kevin Osink partnered with Walkham Preps back in
- 29:50Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Give him a call at three six
- 29:53Speaker 1: zero seven four six four five six seven, tell him
- 29:56Speaker 1: you heard about them on the Walkam Preps podcast. And
- 30:00Speaker 1: when I look at all the stat leaders, there are
- 30:02Speaker 1: a few new names in here, but names that we're
- 30:06Speaker 1: familiar with. Points per game Dawson heins still leading the
- 30:09Speaker 1: way twenty two point four points per game, although he's
- 30:13Speaker 1: being chased quite heavily here by Joe Harward. Field goal percentage,
- 30:17Speaker 1: Chase weight Keller of Elimination still at sixty seven point
- 30:19Speaker 1: nine percent. After not playing a game this week. Dawson
- 30:22Speaker 1: Heins has moved into the lead for free throw percentage
- 30:25Speaker 1: now at eighty five point seven percent. So you just
- 30:28Speaker 1: tack that. I'll just think about that. He's doing what
- 30:30Speaker 1: he's doing all these things. Plus he's the best free
- 30:31Speaker 1: throw shooter in the county, so you know it's hard
- 30:35Speaker 1: to stop him. Three point percentage. Blake Elston of squalk
- 30:38Speaker 1: Him has retaken that lead now at forty one point
- 30:41Speaker 1: three percent. Rebounds per game still Chase weight Keller of
- 30:44Speaker 1: Elimination at eleven point seven assists per game, Nolan Wright
- 30:48Speaker 1: of Seahome at six point nine steals per game, Jerome
- 30:51Speaker 1: Toby Junior of Elimination three point six and blocks per game,
- 30:55Speaker 1: as Caden Veldman of Linen Christian at two point nine. Yeah,
- 31:01Speaker 1: but when we talked about the player of the week,
- 31:03Speaker 1: it's brought to you by Anytime Fitness. Check them out
- 31:06Speaker 1: and Linden, Linen North and Ferndale. Of course, you say, well,
- 31:10Speaker 1: there's two of them in Linen, Well, one is right
- 31:12Speaker 1: there downtown and Linen across the street from the Linen
- 31:15Speaker 1: Fairgrounds and that and that you know mall area there,
- 31:20Speaker 1: and then one is on the corner of Hannigan and
- 31:23Speaker 1: Pole Roads, so it's still technically Linen, but they're all
- 31:26Speaker 1: kind of spaced out. So you have one that is
- 31:28Speaker 1: close to you, go sign up for a membership and
- 31:33Speaker 1: it'll be worth it. And when I'm talking about Anytime
- 31:36Speaker 1: Fitness Player of the Week on the boys side, again,
- 31:39Speaker 1: really really hard to choose. Here you have Joe Harwood
- 31:42Speaker 1: who just went over a thousand points, Calvin van Hoffwagen
- 31:46Speaker 1: had a heck of a game, Daniel Larson had the
- 31:48Speaker 1: game of his life. You know. Jaden Anderson of Niksack
- 31:52Speaker 1: Valley has been having some really good games. Nolan Wright,
- 31:57Speaker 1: you know. I mean, there's been some guys that have
- 31:59Speaker 1: just you know, been stepping up and having these great games.
- 32:02Speaker 1: I thought Y Jorgensen of Linden's been having really good
- 32:04Speaker 1: games as well. Kel Reardon of Mount Baker nearly had
- 32:07Speaker 1: a triple double against Lakewood. But I'm going with Dawson
- 32:11Speaker 1: Heins of Lyndon Christian. I mean it was you know,
- 32:14Speaker 1: when you know, I've heard, you know, announcers say that
- 32:18Speaker 1: the best players play their biggest in the biggest games,
- 32:21Speaker 1: and when he goes out and scores thirty one against
- 32:23Speaker 1: Lyndon and and just completely took over the way that
- 32:27Speaker 1: he did it just it was it was, it was
- 32:30Speaker 1: jaw dropping. I got to watch every second of it
- 32:32Speaker 1: streaming online. Well I laid down here at home and
- 32:37Speaker 1: it was just so impressive to see he's just got
- 32:40Speaker 1: a different gear than everybody else. So congratulations to Dawson
- 32:44Speaker 1: Heins of Lyndon Christian the junior guard. He is your
- 32:47Speaker 1: Anytime Fitness Player of the Week. Let's take a look
- 32:50Speaker 1: at this upcoming week of what's going on high school
- 32:53Speaker 1: sports in Walkin County. On Tuesday, huge game in two
- 32:57Speaker 1: way basketball and a chordus at Linden Boys Basketball seven fifteen.
- 33:02Speaker 1: That's that's gonna be a great game and that's been
- 33:05Speaker 1: a fun rivalry for multiple sports over the last few years,
- 33:10Speaker 1: so I expect this one to be another packed house,
- 33:12Speaker 1: really really good game. Here On Wednesday, super pumped about
- 33:15Speaker 1: the doubleheader at Seahome High School Squalicum at Sea Home
- 33:19Speaker 1: Girls and Boys Boy especially the girls game. These are
- 33:23Speaker 1: two teams that are on a tear right now. See
- 33:27Speaker 1: Home beat them earlier in the year and it was
- 33:31Speaker 1: a non conference game, and I remember that game very well.
- 33:34Speaker 1: I was there. It was at Squalicum and Squalicum was
- 33:37Speaker 1: not at full strength. They're not now either. But I
- 33:43Speaker 1: think it's going to be an awesome, awesome game and
- 33:45Speaker 1: it's going to determine a lot because now with that
- 33:48Speaker 1: third spot being able to go to State, this could
- 33:54Speaker 1: be an answer to you know, who could be that
- 33:57Speaker 1: third team. Heck, they might be the second third team.
- 34:00Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know, you got to get
- 34:02Speaker 1: through districts first. I understand all that. But this is
- 34:05Speaker 1: a very very big game as far as the regular
- 34:07Speaker 1: season goes. It should be a very close one too,
- 34:10Speaker 1: which I'm excited about that. Hopefully that see hom film
- 34:14Speaker 1: crew will be able to record it because I think
- 34:17Speaker 1: it'd be an awesome game, doubleheader and man, it'd be awesome.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I mean, if you I don't know, maybe I'll reach
- 34:25Speaker 1: out to them, Maybe I'll come out and do some
- 34:27Speaker 1: play by play on it or something. If I'm feeling better.
- 34:29Speaker 1: We'll see on Friday another doubleheader Lynden at Nuksack Valley
- 34:35Speaker 1: Girls and Boys five forty five and seven point fifteen.
- 34:39Speaker 1: That should be a lot of fun as well. I
- 34:42Speaker 1: love that because it's a it's a fun, old small gym,
- 34:45Speaker 1: and so when Lynden comes to town, they really pack
- 34:47Speaker 1: the house. So it has that really fun feel to it,
- 34:49Speaker 1: especially during volleyball as well. And then another doubleheader out
- 34:52Speaker 1: at Bellingham High School be Meridian at Bellingham Girls and
- 34:56Speaker 1: Boys six o'clock in seven forty five. The girls game
- 35:00Speaker 1: will be pretty close. Last year's boys game was really close,
- 35:03Speaker 1: came right down to the end. Trey Alexander hits the
- 35:06Speaker 1: game winning shot on a pass from Pierce Brazowski. That
- 35:09Speaker 1: was an electric atmosphere. I would expect this one to
- 35:12Speaker 1: come right down to the end as well this time.
- 35:14Speaker 1: And it'll be at Bellingham. And then on Saturday, I mentioned
- 35:17Speaker 1: it earlier, the flag football State Tournament begins. Squalkm and
- 35:21Speaker 1: Lynnon will both be competing. That'll be Saturday at a
- 35:25Speaker 1: Federal Way Memorial Stadium, but we don't know the times
- 35:28Speaker 1: just yet. So that's gonna be That's gonna be awesome.
- 35:32Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier. I haven't been feeling well this
- 35:34Speaker 1: past week. I'm not showing signs of getting much better.
- 35:37Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give a huge thank you to michaelas
- 35:39Speaker 1: Sparks and Addie Harber for going out to games and
- 35:42Speaker 1: sending pictures to me. Both of them are so talented
- 35:46Speaker 1: and I'm happy to support their photojournalist's dreams. So thank
- 35:50Speaker 1: you so much to both of them. And there's been
- 35:52Speaker 1: lots of people that have taken pictures for me over
- 35:55Speaker 1: the you know, the past few years. I mean, Dennis
- 35:58Speaker 1: Carnes and Janelle court Lever, and you know, there's Aj Bennett,
- 36:03Speaker 1: and there's been tons of people that have done that,
- 36:06Speaker 1: Darius Gilstrap and so I always it's really hard for
- 36:11Speaker 1: me to ask for help, but sometimes I need it,
- 36:13Speaker 1: and especially when I need to stay in bed for
- 36:15Speaker 1: a little bit, and I do get out and watch
- 36:18Speaker 1: the game film and do the recaps and stuff like that,
- 36:21Speaker 1: but then it just takes a lot out of me.
- 36:23Speaker 1: And so I want to rest up because I want
- 36:25Speaker 1: to be able to get to the playoffs here. So
- 36:28Speaker 1: this upcoming week, I don't know what if I'll be
- 36:30Speaker 1: able to make out to games, but hopefully I'll be
- 36:33Speaker 1: well rested for the district tournaments for basketball and all
- 36:37Speaker 1: that stuff. And I've already booked my hotel at State,
- 36:39Speaker 1: so that's all going to be set up. So I'm
- 36:42Speaker 1: really excited about that. I want to give a special
- 36:44Speaker 1: thank you again to all the sponsors, Anytime Fitness, Mosts,
