- 0:54Speaker 2: about as far as Walcome County goes, and you know,
- 0:58Speaker 2: we just kind of started talking about it. I mean,
- 1:00Speaker 2: if I'm being completely honest, it's actually very similar to
- 1:02Speaker 2: how the football side got started. Just kind of started
- 1:05Speaker 2: doing it. Yeah, in a way, we went now all
- 1:08Speaker 2: of a sudden, here it is. I know a lot

- 1:46Speaker 2: have like a main sponsor for the for the podcast anymore.

- 1:53Speaker 1: there's a business going to get started in January, and
- 1:55Speaker 1: that's kind of gonna kick off for that, and I
- 1:59Speaker 1: think are excited about becoming a sponsor for the podcast.

- 2:07Speaker 1: gonna be pretty cool. There's gonna be a lot of
- 2:09Speaker 1: things that are gonna be available and and you know
- 2:12Speaker 1: we've talked about, i mean, wrestling is wide open for sponsorships.

- 2:41Speaker 2: and Ferndale. We'll be talking about them all winter season
- 2:46Speaker 2: here on the podcast. But there's always room.
- 2:49Speaker 1: To add more.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I mean we we added Foxy Brown Consignment at one point.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I think that was like halfway through the football season.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. There's always things that kind of just
- 2:58Speaker 1: jump in there. You never know. People reach out and
- 3:00Speaker 1: they want to jump on and you can reach out
- 3:02Speaker 1: at any time, but you know, the quicker the better.
- 3:05Speaker 1: The big one obviously is those daily recaps for basketball,
- 3:09Speaker 1: boys and girls. They are open right now and I mean,
- 3:13Speaker 1: you get you're gonna get hundreds you know of clicks.
- 3:17Speaker 1: You know, it's going to be hundreds of views, I
- 3:19Speaker 1: should say every single day because there's games six out
- 3:22Speaker 1: of the seven days of the week. And yeah, it's
- 3:26Speaker 1: just a great way to get seen, especially if you
- 3:28Speaker 1: want to grow your social media and stuff like that. Yeah,
- 3:32Speaker 1: this is a big, big way to do it. Tyler.
- 3:34Speaker 2: You know one thing you could do here too, now
- 3:36Speaker 2: that I'm thinking about it, if somebody was to sponsor
- 3:40Speaker 2: the Daily Recaps. When you post that picture for the
- 3:43Speaker 2: Daily Recaps on Instagram, we need to put the logo
- 3:46Speaker 2: on there, right.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Yeah, It's something I have never done before. I've always
- 3:49Speaker 1: tagged them. Yeah, I've always tagged whoever it was, and
- 3:52Speaker 1: they've always been happy with that. But it is something
- 3:55Speaker 1: that I could probably do. I could put their logo
- 3:57Speaker 1: right into the picture of the Daily Recap.
- 4:00Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely, let's see here. So yeah, if they
- 4:05Speaker 2: want to reach out to Tyler, just hit him up
- 4:06Speaker 2: on social media. He'll get you taken care of. Lots
- 4:09Speaker 2: of sponsorship stuff coming up in Spring sports too, so
- 4:12Speaker 2: it kind of never sleeps if you will. There's so
- 4:15Speaker 2: much stuff to sponsor. And frankly, you know, not to
- 4:19Speaker 2: sound like PBS over here, but it needs to happen
- 4:22Speaker 2: or else Walking Preps cannot continue. So be sure to
- 4:25Speaker 2: let people know. I mean, there's people that have businesses
- 4:28Speaker 2: that I'm sure a lot of the listeners are going,
- 4:30Speaker 2: and I wonder if those people would be interested. No,
- 4:32Speaker 2: they would, trust me. You just got to let them know.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And once they reach out to Tyler, here the vision here,
- 4:36Speaker 2: what's going on? Boom away we go. So, Tyler, we've
- 4:40Speaker 2: got all kinds of stuff to talk about here. We're
- 4:42Speaker 2: going to start with boys and girls wrestling boys specifically.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Here some matches last week on Wednesday night, Tyler Bellingham

- 4:55Speaker 2: Vernon forty eight twenty seven. Bellingham then defeated Mount Vernon
- 5:00Speaker 2: fifty seven at twenty seven, and Mount Baker defeated Lyndon
- 5:04Speaker 2: fifty seven twenty seven. How those numbers almost seem wrong
- 5:08Speaker 2: like this, I know pretty while.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I was bringing them over and that's what it said.
- 5:13Speaker 1: But you know, you never know. But well that's for
- 5:18Speaker 1: the information that we know or that we have. So
- 5:21Speaker 1: if there's a way for us to get better information,
- 5:23Speaker 1: if for some reason that is wrong, well then we
- 5:25Speaker 1: got to have a little help there. So that's Wednesday night, though, Tyler. Thursday,

- 6:59Speaker 2: is another one those things where we've kind of talked
- 7:01Speaker 2: about it. We do need we do need some help.
- 7:03Speaker 2: It's wrestling is one of those things that's very hard
- 7:06Speaker 2: to find information on. We really need help from coaches,
- 7:11Speaker 2: a parent, whoever, somebody. If Bellingham did actually host like
- 7:16Speaker 2: it says online, then somebody had to be there and
- 7:19Speaker 2: somebody can get us the stats, you know what I mean.

- 16:14Speaker 2: couple in Linden, one and Blaine, one in Ferndale, one
- 16:16Speaker 2: in Sumas.
- 16:17Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, they're they're just kind of all
- 16:20Speaker 1: over the place and you kind of see them popping
- 16:22Speaker 1: up every once in a while, which is awesome, because
- 16:24Speaker 1: my goodness, it's it's so good. I mean, I used
- 16:27Speaker 1: to go there. There was just the one main one
- 16:29Speaker 1: right next to the dairy farm when I was a kid,
- 16:31Speaker 1: and on the Guy Meridian, really close to the border.
- 16:36Speaker 1: And when we go out to my grandparents that lived
- 16:38Speaker 1: in Blaine, they'd say, do you want to take the
- 16:41Speaker 1: cityway or the highway or the countryway? Since the cityway
- 16:44Speaker 1: or the countryway this is, you know, forty years ago.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And if we say had the city way, that means
- 16:49Speaker 1: we're taking the freeway, and we said the countryway. Then
- 16:52Speaker 1: we went kind of the back roads and through Linden
- 16:54Speaker 1: and we'd always we always wanted to say the countryway
- 16:57Speaker 1: because we got to stop by Edelin day and get
- 16:59Speaker 1: some soft served ice creaming. And it's crazy now that
- 17:02Speaker 1: it's so cool, that it's gotten so popular and there's
- 17:04Speaker 1: so many stores all over the place. I love it.
- 17:06Speaker 2: I mentioned Soft Serve earlier, Tyler, because I was looking
- 17:10Speaker 2: at their website and I think you had a little
- 17:12Speaker 2: soft serve on the other That was a little interesting
- 17:15Speaker 2: reaction from you. Oh yeah, soft serve voice. Oh you
- 17:18Speaker 2: were all fired up about it. Let me tell you, yes,
- 17:20Speaker 2: I was. It does sound good, though. I do love
- 17:22Speaker 2: some soft serve. Let me tell you nothing better than
- 17:24Speaker 2: a Now, Tyler, let's go real quick. Yeah, are you
- 17:28Speaker 2: a regular cone guy? Do you like it in the
- 17:30Speaker 2: in the cop or do you like a waffle cone?
- 17:33Speaker 1: I like the regular cone the most, and I like
- 17:38Speaker 1: a chocolate or like the chocolate vanilla swirl. Oh yeah,
- 17:41Speaker 1: But if I'm gonna go kind of you know what,
- 17:44Speaker 1: I used to do a lot with what I used
- 17:46Speaker 1: to get, like watermelon sorbet and a waffle cone. There
- 17:49Speaker 1: was something about the watermelon like melting into the waffle
- 17:53Speaker 1: cone that just gave it this really unique combo that
- 17:57Speaker 1: I just loved. And it's hard to find watermelon sorbet.
- 18:01Speaker 1: But any like the raspberry sorbey, any of that kind
- 18:03Speaker 1: of fruity stuff that would melt into the waffle cone
- 18:06Speaker 1: was awesome. But if it's just straight up like regular
- 18:08Speaker 1: soft serve, I'm gonna go regular cone all day. See,
- 18:11Speaker 1: I'm pretty much always going to go with the waffle cone.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
- 18:15Speaker 2: I don't know about the sorbet being in the waffle cone.
- 18:18Speaker 2: That seems kind of weird.
- 18:19Speaker 1: I know it is. It is strange. It is strange,
- 18:22Speaker 1: But I've done that. I used to do it a lot,
- 18:25Speaker 1: and I haven't done it in a long time. But
- 18:27Speaker 1: I had a girlfriend that worked at an ice cream store.
- 18:31Speaker 1: This was years ago, and she'd always like, I'd walk in,
- 18:33Speaker 1: then she'd just see me and then she'd do that
- 18:35Speaker 1: for me, just give it to me. And I loved it.
- 18:38Speaker 1: It was so good. So I just always have that
- 18:40Speaker 1: in my head. That's a that's a go to for me.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Well, I'm a satisfied cow Tyler, he's a satisfied customer
- 18:46Speaker 2: when he goes to Edieline Darry. Let's talk standings first, Tyler.
- 18:50Speaker 2: On the girl's side, I'm going to give you the
- 18:52Speaker 2: whole list of them here. Then Tyler, you can just
- 18:53Speaker 2: kind of tell me what it is you saw this
- 18:55Speaker 2: last week. Mount Baker. They are three and oh Bellingham
- 18:58Speaker 2: two and oh see Home two. Know we've got Lynn
- 19:01Speaker 2: and Christian Nuksack Valley Meridian and Lynden they're all one
- 19:05Speaker 2: and zero. Squalicum they are two and one, Blame and
- 19:08Speaker 2: Lummy Nation are one and one, and Ferndale's one and two. So, Tyler,
- 19:12Speaker 2: what have you seen so far from around the county?
- 19:14Speaker 1: Well, it's really interesting because the first week of basketball
- 19:17Speaker 1: you don't really know what to expect and you're kind
- 19:18Speaker 1: of reminded about a few things. But what I've really
- 19:22Speaker 1: loved is that, you know, with Mount Baker and Bellingham,
- 19:24Speaker 1: two programs that have struggled recently, starting out at the
- 19:27Speaker 1: gates really really fast, which is great to see see
- 19:31Speaker 1: them as well. I mean, it's crazy how they lost
- 19:34Speaker 1: so many seniors from last year and they've come out
- 19:37Speaker 1: and they've beaten two not just two teams, but two
- 19:40Speaker 1: walking county teams that I thought we're going to be
- 19:42Speaker 1: better than see them. You know, they beat Ferndale on
- 19:45Speaker 1: the road and then they beat Squalicum in overtime at home,
- 19:48Speaker 1: and they're they're showing me a lot, like I e.
- 19:51Speaker 1: They're further along than I thought they would be, which
- 19:53Speaker 1: is really cool. Lyndon Christian girls, I mean, they are
- 19:57Speaker 1: just awesome. I mean, and they're they're all state players.
- 20:01Speaker 1: As out for the year. She's heading to Montana State.
- 20:03Speaker 1: But they're still so loaded they'll be just fine. They
- 20:06Speaker 1: beat for A Lake Stevens on Saturday and caught the
- 20:09Speaker 1: end of that game, and it's just Lenny Christians has
- 20:12Speaker 1: got a lot of length and shooting and coaching is unbelievable.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Uh Nukzac Valley. They struggled a little bit, get a
- 20:19Speaker 1: little bit against Sultan, but you know, they still have
- 20:21Speaker 1: a little bit of that mystique there. Meridian has a
- 20:24Speaker 1: lot of pressure, a lot of shooting. It was great
- 20:26Speaker 1: to see. Lyndon is just a powerhouse. They struggled a
- 20:29Speaker 1: little bit against the Canadian school the Rapids of Riverside,
- 20:33Speaker 1: but they picked it up in the second half. Squalkam
- 20:35Speaker 1: is very very young and but very athletic. They're gonna
- 20:39Speaker 1: make some young mistakes. Blaine. Of course we've talked about
- 20:42Speaker 1: them now. They only have one player with high school experience,
- 20:46Speaker 1: but they came out and took it to Friday Harbor,
- 20:48Speaker 1: which was really cool to see. So they're believing in
- 20:50Speaker 1: what they're doing. Lem Nation is you know, they only
- 20:53Speaker 1: play about eight girls, but they are really fun to
- 20:56Speaker 1: watch and not afraid to shoot it and Ferndale struggled
- 20:59Speaker 1: a little and they rely a lot on the outside shot,
- 21:02Speaker 1: and I and you know you live by the outside shot,
- 21:05Speaker 1: you're gonna die by it too. So they've had some
- 21:07Speaker 1: tough shooting nights against some pretty good schools and they've
- 21:12Speaker 1: fallen to one and two. But there's some really big
- 21:15Speaker 1: time talent on that team. They're gonna get that record
- 21:17Speaker 1: above five hundred pretty quickly.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Let's talk stat leaders through week one, which again not
- 21:24Speaker 2: a whole lot of not a whole lot of games
- 21:27Speaker 2: in general. I mean, we've got four teams that have
- 21:29Speaker 2: only played one game so far. But the stat leaders
- 21:32Speaker 2: are brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden.
- 21:35Speaker 2: You can give them a call. Three six zero seven
- 21:37Speaker 2: four six four five six seven again, Acceleration Driving School
- 21:41Speaker 2: in London. I think we talked about on the Football podcast.
- 21:44Speaker 2: There's like nothing that makes more sense, or not the
- 21:47Speaker 2: football one, but the Week the Fall podcast maybe like
- 21:52Speaker 2: the most perfect sponsor because how many of these high
- 21:55Speaker 2: school kids are gonna be going through driving school?
- 21:57Speaker 1: I mean, Mike exactly, No, it's and they wanted to
- 22:00Speaker 1: jump on, you know, they were just like, hey, let's
- 22:03Speaker 1: just keep going. What what do you got? And I
- 22:05Speaker 1: just gave them a bunch of options and they said, okay,
- 22:07Speaker 1: let's let's let's just keep going with this and then boom,
- 22:09Speaker 1: the next day in the mail, I get a check
- 22:11Speaker 1: from him. I mean they they were was jacked up
- 22:13Speaker 1: to keep this going.
- 22:14Speaker 2: So that's so so cool. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. So
- 22:18Speaker 2: yeah again their phone number three six zero seven four
- 22:21Speaker 2: six four five six seven points per game Tyler, Yeah,
- 22:26Speaker 2: I mean, like.
- 22:27Speaker 1: You said, there's a lot of teams have only played
- 22:28Speaker 1: one game so far, but Peyton Mills in that one
- 22:32Speaker 1: game that she played, she scored thirty points and and
- 22:34Speaker 1: I don't think she's gonna keep that average at thirty
- 22:36Speaker 1: a game, but pretty impressive right now.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Might be a county record if she does. That's that
- 22:40Speaker 2: would be incredible. Like those are those are Jordan numbers
- 22:43Speaker 2: right there?
- 22:44Speaker 1: Well, I tell you she's being she's close. She's she's
- 22:46Speaker 1: really really getting nipped at her heels by Rebecca Sores
- 22:50Speaker 1: from Mount Baker who's played three games and averaging twenty
- 22:52Speaker 1: nine point seven. So yeah, she scored. She scored thirty
- 22:56Speaker 1: eight points and grabbed twenty rebounds against Friday Harbor thirty
- 23:01Speaker 1: eight and twenty thirty eight and twenty I think she
- 23:04Speaker 1: also had six steals, three blocks and three assists. And
- 23:07Speaker 1: she was in foul trouble in the first quarter and
- 23:10Speaker 1: she sat out most of the fourth quarter.
- 23:11Speaker 2: This is the girl from the Brazilian national team or whatever. Yes, wow,
- 23:17Speaker 2: I mean that right there is worth the private price
- 23:19Speaker 2: of admission Tyler and the high school sports are cheap,
- 23:21Speaker 2: but I mean, my goodness. How about rebounds per game?
- 23:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Graced Hogue just played the one game, but eighteen
- 23:29Speaker 1: rebounds and I think most of them were on the
- 23:31Speaker 1: offensive side, which is really really impressive. Assists per game.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Daniel Diiksher of Lindon Christian had six assists in that
- 23:38Speaker 1: game on Saturday against Lake Stevens, again just the one game,
- 23:41Speaker 1: but averaging six a game. Steals per game, again with
- 23:45Speaker 1: these one game stats, but Finley Parcher and Grace de
- 23:48Speaker 1: Hogue Finley Parcher Linden Grace to Hogue of Nuxack Valley
- 23:53Speaker 1: each had six steals in their game.
- 23:55Speaker 2: How about the Steve Scheffler blocks per game?
- 23:59Speaker 1: Yeah, actually her minutes, which is crazy because she's a
- 24:01Speaker 1: point guard. But and she had them all like she
- 24:04Speaker 1: had them all like in like a six or seven
- 24:06Speaker 1: minute period where she just kept blocking shots and just
- 24:08Speaker 1: a really athletic player. I don't think she's gonna end
- 24:11Speaker 1: up leading this. It will probably be Suarez or or
- 24:15Speaker 1: could be Aspen Barge of Sea Home someone like that.
- 24:18Speaker 1: But right now she's the leader for blocks per game.
- 24:22Speaker 2: She had to go go gadget arm going for a
- 24:24Speaker 2: real quick a few seconds there. How about a field
- 24:26Speaker 2: goal percentage? And again, now I do the percentages. You
- 24:30Speaker 2: have to qualify.
- 24:31Speaker 1: You can't just take one shot and make it so
- 24:34Speaker 1: you have to have at least attempted four shots per
- 24:36Speaker 1: game to onto average. Yeah, you have to average at
- 24:41Speaker 1: least four attempted shots. Again, gotcha to qualify. So with that,
- 24:46Speaker 1: Taylor Terrell of Seahome, the freshman, is averaging seventy point
- 24:50Speaker 1: six percent on her field goals and she's she's been
- 24:53Speaker 1: doing great. She's been leading that team, coming in as
- 24:57Speaker 1: a freshman, playing point guard, taking the smart shots. You know,
- 25:02Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen foot jumpers, occasional three point shot. But
- 25:05Speaker 1: seventy point six percent on her shots right now? How
- 25:07Speaker 1: about three point percentage? Yeah. Sophie Brooks from Meridian, the senior,
- 25:13Speaker 1: she's three for four. Again, this is you have to
- 25:15Speaker 1: attempt at least two three point shots per game to qualify,
- 25:20Speaker 1: and she was seized three for four in her one game,
- 25:23Speaker 1: so she's at seventy five percent last but not least
- 25:26Speaker 1: free throw percentage. And for this as well, you have
- 25:29Speaker 1: to average at least two free throw attempts per game.
- 25:31Speaker 1: And there's only one player who's done that and is
- 25:35Speaker 1: still perfect on the season, and that's Finley Purcher from Lynden. Tyler.
- 25:40Speaker 2: That are those are the stats by Acceleration Driving School
- 25:43Speaker 2: in Linden. Let's talk boys basketball and I mentioned it before,
- 25:48Speaker 2: but the scoreboards are sponsored by Edilin Darry Let's go
- 25:52Speaker 2: through the standings again. We've got mout Baker at three
- 25:56Speaker 2: and oh Lynnen, Christian Nuksack, Valley, Meridian, Nason, and Blaine
- 26:01Speaker 2: are all two and zero. Bellingham and Linden they are
- 26:04Speaker 2: one and one, Squalum one and two, Ferndale and Seahome
- 26:07Speaker 2: both one and two. Tyler, what'd you see around the county?
- 26:10Speaker 1: Well, the big thing that you see here just looking
- 26:12Speaker 1: at it as you know as a total, you're probably
- 26:14Speaker 1: looking at and going wow, this is the just the
- 26:17Speaker 1: overall record of walking county teams is pretty darn good.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Only five losses to you know, over a dozen wins.
- 26:24Speaker 1: So it's it's it's the same types of things here. Uh,
- 26:28Speaker 1: you know Mount Baker three and oh so far on
- 26:31Speaker 1: the year. I think they only had three or four
- 26:33Speaker 1: wins last year. And you know, they basically brought the
- 26:36Speaker 1: whole team back, and well not the whole team back,
- 26:39Speaker 1: but you know, they're bringing back eight guys that played
- 26:42Speaker 1: a lot together and they're clicking really well too. And
- 26:45Speaker 1: they didn't get you know, anyone from the Brazilian national
- 26:48Speaker 1: team on their team. They just brought everyone back and
- 26:50Speaker 1: doing pretty darn good. H Linney Christian is a force.
- 26:53Speaker 1: They're a little different than we're used to. You know,
- 26:56Speaker 1: they used to have you know, Cayden Stite and Jeremiah
- 26:58Speaker 1: Wright and there's big guys and they you know, they'd
- 27:01Speaker 1: power kind of through those guys. But now they're all
- 27:04Speaker 1: run and gun and it's a fast moving it's kind
- 27:06Speaker 1: of what you know, it's it's a it's built differently,
- 27:10Speaker 1: but they like to run and they will run you
- 27:12Speaker 1: off the court. They also beat Lake Stevens, which was
- 27:15Speaker 1: something to see. A four A school Nooksack Valley two
- 27:18Speaker 1: and O just really really sharp. You know, they didn't
- 27:23Speaker 1: shoot extremely well deep in that first game. I think
- 27:26Speaker 1: they were like one for fourteen or something like that.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Then they turned around and beat Sultan by like fifty
- 27:31Speaker 1: something points. You know, they there's no holes in the
- 27:34Speaker 1: in that game. They have They have, you know, a
- 27:37Speaker 1: primary point guard, they have a big time post player,
- 27:39Speaker 1: they got defensive guys, they got shooters. They kind of
- 27:42Speaker 1: have every single thing that you need. They have a
- 27:43Speaker 1: good bench. Meridian two and Oh they had to come back.
- 27:46Speaker 1: They were down like fourteen points with five minutes to go.
- 27:50Speaker 1: In their first week's game. I want to say it
- 27:51Speaker 1: was against Bear Creek and won it on a three
- 27:54Speaker 1: point shot by Talon Jenkins to win it by one point.
- 27:58Speaker 1: And then they kind of took to Mount Vernon Christian
- 28:01Speaker 1: the next game. But Nooks I finally looking really good.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Lemon Nation they beat See Home. They took it to
- 28:05Speaker 1: See Home and beat them by like thirty points. I
- 28:08Speaker 1: was at that game my first time ever attending a
- 28:11Speaker 1: basketball game at Lemon Nation. It was awesome. I mean
- 28:14Speaker 1: it was just the atmosphere was unreal, so cool, and yeah,
- 28:19Speaker 1: the nests out there, it was just fantastic to see.
- 28:22Speaker 1: And then they turned around and beat l'connor, who is
- 28:24Speaker 1: actually a pretty good team for a smaller school. So
- 28:27Speaker 1: lumination out at two and oh Blaine, Blaine is a
- 28:31Speaker 1: it's a new look, man, it's a it's totally different.
- 28:34Speaker 1: They're a little smaller, but they're so well coached and
- 28:37Speaker 1: they're doing the right things. They're undefeated. Bellingham's only played
- 28:39Speaker 1: the one game. They were the last team to play,
- 28:42Speaker 1: and they took it to Marysville. Pilchuck I got them.
- 28:46Speaker 1: I think it was like sixty eight to fifty five.
- 28:47Speaker 1: Linden looked really good against a very very good Canadian school.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Lyndon is just you know, they're Linden. They're just gonna
- 28:56Speaker 1: be taller than you. They're gonna be really well coached,
- 28:59Speaker 1: and they can shoot it. Squalk them one and one.
- 29:02Speaker 1: They ended up taking it to Sultan, but they lost
- 29:05Speaker 1: that really close game to Marysville Getchel in overtime. While
- 29:09Speaker 1: it was into overtime, Marcus Nixon hit a three right
- 29:12Speaker 1: at the buzzer. He banked it in and it would
- 29:15Speaker 1: have put it into a second overtime, but he released
- 29:18Speaker 1: it right as the buzzer sounded, so they waved, they
- 29:21Speaker 1: waved it off. That was That was the game. But
- 29:23Speaker 1: you know, non conference game you learn from those kinds
- 29:26Speaker 1: of things. Berndale has played some really tough schools. You know,
- 29:31Speaker 1: Redmond is really good, Edmund's Woodway really good, so kind
- 29:36Speaker 1: of tough. They did beat Snahomish. They haven't played at
- 29:39Speaker 1: home yet. I don't think all these games have been
- 29:40Speaker 1: out on the road, and it'd be nice for them
- 29:42Speaker 1: to enjoy a little home cooking here pretty soon and
- 29:45Speaker 1: see home. With just the one win, they beat Marysville Pilchuck.
- 29:48Speaker 1: I think they ended that game with like on a
- 29:50Speaker 1: twenty three to two run or something like that to
- 29:52Speaker 1: win the game, which is incredible. Lost out at Lummy,
- 29:56Speaker 1: but then lost a really close one to a Canadian
- 29:58Speaker 1: school by three point in a game where I think
- 30:01Speaker 1: Nolan Wright had like twenty three or twenty five points
- 30:04Speaker 1: or something in that game. So so I mean, it's
- 30:07Speaker 1: crazy everyone's already got to win. It's really fun to
- 30:11Speaker 1: see and when to start playing each other, we'll start
- 30:13Speaker 1: to see a little bit more separation here.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Those are the standings, and to look around the county,
- 30:17Speaker 2: let's talk stat leaders and once again sponsored by Acceleration
- 30:20Speaker 2: Driving School in Linden. Give McCall three six zero seven
- 30:23Speaker 2: four to six four five six seven, Tyler. Let's start
- 30:27Speaker 2: with points per game.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Joe Harvard of Bellingham. In that one game,
- 30:32Speaker 1: he scored twenty eight points and I think he had
- 30:35Speaker 1: I want to say, eighteen of them in just the
- 30:37Speaker 1: fourth quarter, So really really impressive quarter.
- 30:41Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that's a lot. That's like a
- 30:44Speaker 2: team score eighteen, you know what I mean. Yeah, right,
- 30:47Speaker 2: that's a good quarter for a team. Yeah, and he's
- 30:50Speaker 2: just he's just super athletic.
- 30:52Speaker 1: I mean, he could just there's just a lot of
- 30:54Speaker 1: things that that kid can do, which is pretty impressive.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Are the quarters ten minutes, eight, eight minutes? Yeah?
- 31:01Speaker 2: Yeah, So he scored two points, you know, like two
- 31:03Speaker 2: in a third or something like. I mean, that's pretty wild.
- 31:06Speaker 2: How about rebounds per game? Yeah, rebounds per game. Cayden
- 31:10Speaker 2: Veldman of Lynn and Krishnan in a couple of games,
- 31:12Speaker 2: averaging thirteen rebounds a game. They're a little smaller than usual,
- 31:17Speaker 2: but he's their main inside presence and just just a sophomore,
- 31:21Speaker 2: but he's bolt up to about two hundred and twenty pounds,
- 31:23Speaker 2: looks really good inside, and he's a guy that we're
- 31:26Speaker 2: going to be saying that name a lot in multiple sports.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Assists per game, assists per game.
- 31:32Speaker 1: How about this, Brent Heppner, the power forward. You don't
- 31:35Speaker 1: see that too often. There's some other point guards that
- 31:37Speaker 1: are pretty high on this list, Jerome Toby, Junior Gannon Dykstra,
- 31:42Speaker 1: but Caden Hugh Tink and Hunter Calloway. These are all
- 31:46Speaker 1: premier point guards. But for right now, Bran Hepner had
- 31:48Speaker 1: nine assists in that one game.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Thinks he's still playing football throwing all the passes steeles
- 31:53Speaker 2: per game.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Pierce Perzowski him Meridian, he didn't play in that
- 31:57Speaker 1: first game. He got into the second game and and
- 32:00Speaker 1: got four steals in that one, So he edges out
- 32:03Speaker 1: some of the other guys Jerome Toby with three and
- 32:05Speaker 1: a half, Spencer Adams with three, Cole Coppinger with three,
- 32:08Speaker 1: kru Bauman with three. But Pierce Prezowski, the sophomore from
- 32:12Speaker 1: Meridian has four blocks per game. Yeah. Ty Jorgensen, the
- 32:17Speaker 1: human pogo stick man, he's at three blocks per game.
- 32:20Speaker 1: And unlike on the girls side, where it was Lexi Hermanutz,
- 32:24Speaker 1: where I was like thinking, well, she's probably not going
- 32:26Speaker 1: to be leading throughout the season. Ty Jorgenson. I could
- 32:28Speaker 1: see where he ends up leading the entire season. There
- 32:31Speaker 1: will be some guys that will challenge him, you know,
- 32:34Speaker 1: the Brady Ackerman's of the world and kel Reardan's and
- 32:37Speaker 1: guys like that. But for right now, it's Ty Jorgensen.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Three blocks field goal percentage. This is crazy. Brady Ackerman
- 32:46Speaker 1: is twelve for twelve. He has not missed a shot yet.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I mean, he just he can just muscle down inside
- 32:53Speaker 1: and then he's got a really soft touch once he
- 32:55Speaker 1: gets under there. He knows how to use his back
- 32:57Speaker 1: he knows I use the backboard, turns round, puts it in.
- 33:01Speaker 1: Hasn't missed yet. That's funny. Three point percentage, yeah, hundred callaway.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Seventy five percent is about a six foot three point guard.
- 33:10Speaker 1: And he is just a lights out basketball player. And
- 33:13Speaker 1: he's the jump I've seen just physically in his body
- 33:17Speaker 1: from freshman a sophomore year. It really really stands out.
- 33:20Speaker 1: I didn't notice it as much in football I probably
- 33:23Speaker 1: should have, but on the basketball court, it really stands out.
- 33:26Speaker 1: He's a fantastic player to watch and free throw percentage.
- 33:29Speaker 1: There's a handful of guys that are one hundred percent
- 33:33Speaker 1: that has to average at least two free throws per game.
- 33:36Speaker 1: But the guy who's made the most without missing is
- 33:39Speaker 1: Luke Smith of Mount Baker. He is still at one
- 33:41Speaker 1: hundred percent. I believe he's six for six on the
- 33:43Speaker 1: young season.
- 33:45Speaker 2: That is boys and girls basketball. Let's finish it off, Tyler, Well,
- 33:52Speaker 2: I guess not finish it off. We've got two segments here.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Hold on, you need to make this one bigger.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Boom. There we go.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Player of the Week sponsored by Anytime Fitness in Linden,
- 34:03Speaker 2: Linden North and Ferndale, another tremendous sponsor of Walkom. Perhaps
- 34:08Speaker 2: they've sponsored a lot of things over the last what
- 34:11Speaker 2: year and a half or so? I would say, yes, definitely,
- 34:14Speaker 2: let's start with girls basketball, Tyler, who is the player
- 34:17Speaker 2: of the week.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Well, the great thing about Anytime Fitness really quickly is
- 34:20Speaker 1: I know where all three locations are. They're all next
- 34:23Speaker 1: to things that I love as well. But the Ferndale location,
- 34:26Speaker 1: it's the same building as the Edeline Derry. You know,
- 34:29Speaker 1: it's it's it's right next to each other. I mean,
- 34:31Speaker 1: you're talking boom, you know, you surf and turf right there.
- 34:34Speaker 1: You go over there, Tyler, you lose some weight and
- 34:37Speaker 1: then you go and you and you you gain it back. Hey,
- 34:40Speaker 1: no problem, just keep the cycle. Just that's the circle
- 34:42Speaker 1: of life right there. It absolutely is. Yeah, yeah, so yeah.
- 34:46Speaker 1: The girls basketball player Anytime Fitness Player of the Week
- 34:49Speaker 1: Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker, just a sophomore. She has
- 34:53Speaker 1: really made her presence known. You know, they lost their
- 34:55Speaker 1: they're basically their three best players from a year ago,
- 34:58Speaker 1: one to graduation and two that transferred. And she's come
- 35:02Speaker 1: in and that even that very first game, she was
- 35:06Speaker 1: a little you know, she's really trying to get the
- 35:08Speaker 1: other players involved as much as possible. She stays on
- 35:11Speaker 1: on the perimeter a lot, she's passing, you know, looking
- 35:14Speaker 1: to get other guys, you know, other players involved, but
- 35:16Speaker 1: then she will start to take over if needed. And
- 35:20Speaker 1: every single game she's gotten a little bit better. And
- 35:24Speaker 1: Faith Wilson's another really good player for Mount Baker, but
- 35:26Speaker 1: she was not there for that game against Friday Harbor,
- 35:29Speaker 1: and I think she probably took it upon herself to
- 35:31Speaker 1: do a little bit more. That's why she came up
- 35:33Speaker 1: with the thirty eight points and twenty rebounds. And what's
- 35:35Speaker 1: crazy is that she doesn't lead in any category yet,
- 35:37Speaker 1: but she's played in three games where a lot of
- 35:39Speaker 1: these other players have just played in one. But Rebecca
- 35:42Speaker 1: Sores from Mount Baker, the sophomore is your Anytime Fitness
- 35:45Speaker 1: Girls Basketball Player of the Week.
- 35:47Speaker 2: You know, Tyler, if I'm being completely honest, I might
- 35:50Speaker 2: just hang out with some people that are going to
- 35:52Speaker 2: Anytime Fitness and then I'm probably going next door to
- 35:54Speaker 2: Edilie and dry hunh. Yeah, you know that's probably what's
- 35:57Speaker 2: gonna happen. How about boy, he's a basketball player of
- 36:01Speaker 2: the week.
- 36:02Speaker 1: There's a few here. I thought Jager five had a
- 36:04Speaker 1: really good week, you know, Joe Harvard, even though it
- 36:07Speaker 1: was just one game. Brent Hepner won game I was
- 36:09Speaker 1: looking at. I was looking for players that played more
- 36:11Speaker 1: than one game. They won their games. And Gannon dykesher
- 36:15Speaker 1: of Lyndon Christian he shot ten for twenty in both games.
- 36:19Speaker 1: You know, he's he's really going off. He's averaging twenty
- 36:22Speaker 1: three and a half points and seven and a half
- 36:25Speaker 1: assists per game early on here and they're two to zero.
- 36:28Speaker 1: They're looking really really good. He's got an incredible jump shot.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Really really intrigued to see how he you know, how
- 36:36Speaker 1: he keeps you know, the team going, and he's gonna
- 36:39Speaker 1: put it on his back and they're gonna do some really,
- 36:41Speaker 1: really good things this year. So Gannon Dykes are the
- 36:43Speaker 1: senior point guard from Lyndon. Christian is your Anytime Fitness
- 36:46Speaker 1: Boys Basketball Player of the Week.
- 36:49Speaker 2: The Players of the Week again brought to you by
- 36:51Speaker 2: Anytime Fitness and Linden Linden North and Ferndale Tyler. We
- 36:55Speaker 2: wrap it up as we do here on the Winter
- 36:58Speaker 2: Sports Weekly wrap Up. We do it with what games
- 37:01Speaker 2: are coming up this week that you're taking a look at,
- 37:03Speaker 2: And let's start with how about girls basketball? Anything big
- 37:07Speaker 2: going on over there?
- 37:09Speaker 1: Well, those conference games are starting to happen already, and
- 37:12Speaker 1: as I'm looking, it's you know, it's very it's very
- 37:16Speaker 1: I like seeing the county versus county teams and Bellingham
- 37:20Speaker 1: at Blaine on girl on Tuesday night, I'm sorry, Wednesday
- 37:24Speaker 1: night at seven fifteen for girls basketball. That one's intriguing
- 37:28Speaker 1: to me because these are two teams that you know,
- 37:33Speaker 1: have done pretty well so far this year. They're both
- 37:36Speaker 1: very young teams, but they are I'm really curious to
- 37:39Speaker 1: see how they'll do against each other. I'm really curious
- 37:41Speaker 1: if one will separate itself from the other one. So
- 37:44Speaker 1: I think this is a good measuring stick game for
- 37:48Speaker 1: both teams, and I'm really excited about it. How about
- 37:51Speaker 1: boys basketball? Anything big this week? The one that I'm really,
- 37:55Speaker 1: I really like is Lyndon at Squalicum, and that's on
- 37:57Speaker 1: Thursday night at seven fifteen. You know, Lyndon has a
- 38:02Speaker 1: lot of new faces on the varsity team. They've obviously
- 38:05Speaker 1: been dominant in the last three years, winning state titles
- 38:07Speaker 1: each year. Squalicum basically has the exact same team, and
- 38:11Speaker 1: so they're gonna have you know, they're gonna feel like
- 38:14Speaker 1: they can they can do pretty pretty well here. Uh
- 38:18Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's gonna be a great one. I
- 38:21Speaker 1: think I think it'll be pretty good. How do they
- 38:23Speaker 1: match up? I mean, Linden's definitely gonna have the size advantage.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Squalicum is gonna have to try to out quit them.
- 38:28Speaker 1: It should be a really good game. Oh and a
- 38:31Speaker 1: great thing too. Linden has a freshman on their team
- 38:34Speaker 1: and his Jaden Navarre. He's gonna be a great, great player.
- 38:38Speaker 1: And his dad is an assistant coach for Squalicum. So
- 38:41Speaker 1: I love having those little those little little family. Yeah,
- 38:45Speaker 1: a little family. I didn't even think about it until
- 38:47Speaker 1: just now, but it's pretty cool.
- 38:49Speaker 2: How about any other sports going on this week that
- 38:51Speaker 2: you're taking a look at.
- 38:52Speaker 1: Well, I really like the matchup between Blaine and Bellingham
- 38:56Speaker 1: and boys wrestling that's gonna be on Tuesday night out
- 38:59Speaker 1: at Lakewood at eight pm. And these are two teams
- 39:03Speaker 1: that usually are pretty darn good. They both return a
- 39:07Speaker 1: lot from last year, so I'm really curious to see
- 39:11Speaker 1: if Blaine has it in them to still kind of
- 39:13Speaker 1: be one of the top top teams in Walkham County.
- 39:16Speaker 1: And if they can beat Bellingham here, then that shows
- 39:20Speaker 1: me that they haven't dropped off too much and they
- 39:22Speaker 1: can still do some damage. Anything else you're taking a
- 39:25Speaker 1: look at, I think that's about it. Those are the
- 39:28Speaker 1: big things that jumped out to me already.
- 39:31Speaker 2: Anything else before we get out of here, I don't
- 39:33Speaker 2: think so. Alrighty, we need to give a thank you
- 39:36Speaker 2: again to Anytime Fitness, Acceleration, Driving school Edeline, Dry and
