• 5:59
  Speaker 2: double check on that. But congratulations to all the girls
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and boys wrestlers that went over there. Matt Classic is
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: an amazing event and I have a special treat for
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you as we have a special guest on the line.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's Meridian senior Ret Dirst, who gave us the intro. Hey, Champ,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: how are you doing, man?
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I am I'm exhausted, but I can. I can hardly
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: move my neck, but I am man.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just really grateful to have seen my work's pay
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: off and for the people who've had my back all
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: this way, and to just have this opportunity to represent
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: my school and my faith in my community and it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: means a lot.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I'm really really happy about everything.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's you know, as we're recording this,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: it's been less than twenty four hours since it happened.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Has it sunk in yet? Has it been kind of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a whirlwind the last eighteen hours or so.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: It's it's been quite the whorldine.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's like part of it didn't seem real at first,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and now I was kind of starting to hit me
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that I've like actually made it and still hasn't sunk
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: into I'm done wrestling. That's not excited for when that's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going to finally hit. But yeah, I know it's been
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of mixed emotions.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. What grade were you in when you started wrestling?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I started in eighth grade. Wrestled in the last five years.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It's been out with some injuries here and there, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it's been going for a while.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You wrestle at two hundred and fifteen pounds. When it's
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: not wrestling season, what do you typically weigh in at?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Usually about two thirty is what I've been okay as
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a recent outside of the season, So is.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: There is it? Is it one of those things where
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: wrestling practice is tough enough to where you can just
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: go to you know, a couple of weeks of practice
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and you drop the weight or do you do you
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: change things? You know, diet, exercise. Just to make two.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Fifteen, I had to stop eating breakfast for three weeks.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: That was sad three weeks.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, once I was there, the workouts were
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: good enough and we made it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. Sophomore year, you go to State as
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a participant. What was that feeling like when you first
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: walk in the Tacoma Dome and it's like, holy cow,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: this is like like was that kind of a shock?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Did it make it easier the next few years? Just
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: explain that that moment when you were in there that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: first time as a sophomore.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the first time you go into the dome's all's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: not real. There's just lights, and I mean when you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: first go in, it's only the wrestlers, but even silly,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: there's hundreds of wrestlers everywhere. And then when you're actually wrestling,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: there's thousands of people and it's just noise, and this
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: dome seems bigger once you're actually in the middle. But
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: once you're in there the first time, the next year
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: is just you get that initial excitement over with and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you're able to focus a lot better on your wrestling.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's a cool experience, absolutely.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. If people haven't gone down
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to the Matt Classic, it's insane. It's there's mats everywhere,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: there's people everywhere. It is such a cool thing when
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: you know, and the walk, you know, you know what
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about with the walk when you go around
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and oh yeah, and it's just it's I mean, I'm
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: getting goosebumps now just thinking about it. And I haven't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: been down to the Matt Classic since before you were born,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: and it's it's still you know, I can still have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: pictures in my mind as a junior, you took fifth
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: place in state?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Was it?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Was it one of those where you were happy with it,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you were disappointed? Was that about where you thought you'd place?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I was definitely happy to make the podium that year.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: One thing and one thing I was a bit upset about, though,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: is I I beat the guy took third place. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: beat him by I salid ten points in the quarterfinals.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: But the way our consolation packets shook out, I got
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: knocked down to physics.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I was a little bit upset about that, but nonetheless
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I was super happy to place.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's talk about this this past weekend. I
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: kind of want to go match by match if you can.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: How I don't know how your recall is and if
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you've thought about it, but you're you. You go in
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: as the third seat, so you get that, you get
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: that buy early on. But then your first match, you
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: beat Vincent or Daz twelve to zero. What do you
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: remember about that match?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I just remember before before the match, And this
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is similar to Hall meets I, I should get super
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: nervous of like any possibility that could go wrong, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: as soon as I start warming up, it gets out
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of my head and I'm like the belief starts kicking
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: in and I go out there and I just get
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a feel for him, and I'm like, well, I mean
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: even before the match was refirm and it's like, hey,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I've worked.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: For this, and I can I can do this.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And I went out there and got some got some
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: good stuff done. I was happy to see things company
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: that I've been working on the past few weeks, both postseasons.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: It gets a solid win for and Friday.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and your next match in the quarterfinals, you beat
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Abel Cruise Mendoza and stop me if you've wrestled these
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: guys before as well, if if there was something that
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you knew about them, I'm not I'm not hundred percent
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: sure you'd beat him eight to zero. What do you
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: remember about that match?
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: It was a fast one.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Felt bad for the guy because I ended up ended
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: up hurting him in the pin. It's just in the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in the flow of things, things just some my gouytrol
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: mush for what it was. But I was I was
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: pumped to be out there and glad that the quarterfinals
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: went a bit faster so I could so I could
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: grow pressed up for the semis.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. How much time is there? So the quarter finals
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: was that Saturday?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Then that was Saturday?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So how long is it between quarterfinals and semis?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: For you?
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I probably had probably around two hours two two and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: a half hours?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Is that ideal? Is that too long to too short?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: How does that feel?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: That's two hours is pretty good? That's an hour and
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a half to two hours good.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You don't get you're still it's still a little bit lose,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and you have time to fuel up and get like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: your heart and lungs gone down.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the semi finals, you wrestled a guy who was
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: who was ranked ahead of you. He was the second
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: ranked guy. You probably in your mind thought this is
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: this is a great, a high possibility that you would
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: have to meet him in the semi finals. Tell us
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: about that match with Kayden Sullivan.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this entire as soon as the practice came out
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and watching the brackets and been doing some mental mental visualizing,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and I kept telling myself. I was like, I'm gonna
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: have for rustle this guy. I'm gonna find a way
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to beat him, and I was I pictured ways that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: could happen. So I got out there and he's a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: good wrestler. Kudos to him, and you know, yeah, it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: was a good match and pushed it right to the wire.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And again just to see things I've been working on
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: come together right when I needed it too is huge.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: It's blessing and it was awesome scene. It's at the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: coach my coaches James Matt and being there on the
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: side and.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Sharing me on there like you like you gotta go
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: right now, and so I win end up getting it
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: and yes, rest and done.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. I mean, it's and I like hearing about
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the visualization because that's something I really believe in, Like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: like even just starting walking preps, it's like it was
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: scary for me, but do but trying to visualize myself
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: doing it and and and being there goes a long way.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So I like, I like hearing that I and I
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: think that for certain people it really really works out.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And so that's really cool to hear. Between the semi
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: finals and the championship, I would imagine there's a longer
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: wait here.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, probably three to four hours as well.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's and at that time you have a
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: lot of mental gymnastics probably where you're like, Okay, I'm
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: wrestling for a state championship and I'm going against the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: number one seed. Caleb Harris. You and I talked back
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: at the gust Compton Invite at Mount Baker and we
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: just kind of talked for a few minutes about, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: how how was the season looking and and you know, statewide,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: who's kind of the guy to be? And you brought
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: somebody up? Was this the guy you were talking about?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that?
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: He definitely could have been I don't remember exactly who,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: but he was. He was ranked fifth going into the season,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: so I knew I had him on my radar.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah it could have been him because I thought
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you said Cascade Christian and so and I believe he's
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: from Cascade Christian. But yes, yeah, so is this is
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: this someone that you had ever wrestled before?
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I had not actually every every match of this bracket.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I hadn't wrestled any of one before.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: So it was a fresh wow. And sometimes that could
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: be a good thing because they don't know you either, right,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: so so it's you know, they read things and they
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: hear things, but until you get on the mat, it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: a little different. What was your feeling going in the match?
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Were you?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Were you feeling confident? Were you how was your body?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I mean like you were talking about your neck all
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that stuff. Were you feeling okay?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously we're all exhausted and worn down,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: but you know what's here on the flow of things,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: you kind of can keep going until you're done. If
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you did my usual warm ups and PreMaster teams to
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: get me in the groove things, and mentally, I mean
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I've been there before with the visualizing as we talked
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: about and I was, I was just super excited to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: finally be here.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: And once it was all over, I mean, it described
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: your emotions because I can't imagine what that must feel like.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: There's things wrapping up the way the way like I've
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: been envisioning. I mean, the season's like I mean, it's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: just the captain of my season and career, and things
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: haven't always gone my way. I mean, I got upset
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in the district finals by Pallas Maple.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, kudos to him. He was it was a
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: good match and he did great estates as well.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So to come back from that, just sat back and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: see things everything I've been working for for the past year,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: like I'm.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Together, there's man, I was like, I was overjoyed.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I was grateful to God for getting me there and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: for my coaches and family, and I think they shared
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of the same emotion as well. It's been
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice. The yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the excitement enjoys pretty hard to describe.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Did you, I mean, did you find other coaches in
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the conference rooting for you? Was coach left out there?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Coach Hines from Blaine? Were they you know, did they
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: at least come up and congratulate you afterwards, because I
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: would imagine, I mean, they know you pretty well, so
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: it's like they're going to be in your corner in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: this kind of match.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and before and after I had coaches and athletes
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: from Blaine attacking Baker, all wishing me good luck and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: yeah health coat, Yeah, thanking or congratulating me. And yeah,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: the community that they brought in the encouragement was amazing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I love that. It's such a great thing because it is,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: you know, it's such a competitive sport. But once it's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: to that point where it's just you, now you know
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: it's everybody's going to be rooting for you. You know
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Meridian's history and boys wrestling. I you know, in the
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: last hour I've been scouring. I found one state champion
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and I was back in nineteen seventy nine, one hundred
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and eight pounds, Kevin McIntosh. Do you know if you
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: are the second state champion in school history for boys wrestling.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I believe that's correct. I had other than Kevin McIntosh.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen anyone up there.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's incredible. I remember I remember guys,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I thought I remember guys being in the finals. Sean Scott.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I think in like the mid eighties, you know, there
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: was a guy Chase Schmidt's who was a really good
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: football player. He played football at Western. I think he
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: was like a one seventy eight pounder, like in the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: year two thousand, I think he was in the finals.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: But just incredible. I mean, it's just such a cool deal.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: You brought up Mount Baker Silas Maple. He took fifth place,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: and you wrestled him a few times, and you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you were an underclassman that took fifth place at state once.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Do you see that he could go on this similar
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: path that you've been on. And what are his strengths
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: as a wrestler, Oh, Devanna, you know this.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I could see Silas going all the way. And one
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: thing I admire him about him so much is he
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: is so excited and grateful to wrestle every time, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: no matter who it is, like, oh man, I can't
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: wait for this. And he's got a smile on his
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: face when he's warm, Like he's smiling mid match too.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I could tell it keeps him going and it's going
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to get in places.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome. I mean, if you love it, if
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: if it's if you're passionate about something, it can it
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: can take you a long way. And speaking of that,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I want to talk some track and field with you,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: because the work that you put in year round. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: see you, you know, throwing the hammer in the snow,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and I mean you're doing all sorts of things and
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you're working on your craft all the time. Correct me
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. Next level BYU? Is that the case?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: That is the case? That is awesome?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: That is so cool. Obviously I've seen you throw the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: shot put, throw the discus. The hammer throw is a
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: little different, and not a lot of you know, high
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: school hammer throwing unless you're at special events and different things.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But but as you've gone on in your high school career,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: freshman year you took eighth in state at the shot put,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: fourteenth in the discus, sophomore year third in state in
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the shot and then junior year third again in the shot,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: seventh in the disc How I mean, I believe you're
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the school record holder in the shot put fifty five
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: feet ten and a half inches. Does that sound about right?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: That's right?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And then discus one hundred and fifty seven feet and
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: ten inches. I'm not one hundred percent sure if that's
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: a school record. Do you know if that is or not?
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I think it's third in the line. Steve has a
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: record right now?
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, Steve Man, he could he could throw
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: people around like that. Yeah, just talk about those and
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: kind of you know how I mean right now, it's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it's the shift right. Track's gonna start in what a week?
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: So you know, how do you shift into that? Do
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: you do? You get to eat breakfast again and put
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: some weight on and some strength and and how is
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that looking? You're pretty excited for your senior year.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm super excited and grateful to being good health and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I can eat whatever I want now. Well, I mean, yeah,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: ramp the training back up from the light training it
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: was throughout the season. Just have one more time is
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: super exciting.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and speak about that. You did have some shoulder
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: issues before. I believe. How how is that all going?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Are you? Hundred percent?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Now? Yeah? All my yeah, every every entry from the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: past is cleared up by now.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Awesome. Yeah. I love you know, I love going to
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: track and field events because it's so I don't even
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: know how to explain it. I mean, I'm lucky enough
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: to be in the media where I can kind of
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: walk around and just kind of see what's going on.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: But what's really cool about is you get to talk
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: to these athletes. I mean you you know, you're you
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: get to know them where you know, it's it's a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: lot different than other sports, right where you get to
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: get to know these other throwers and become friendly with them,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: and then they're cheering you on, and it's just a
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: it's a really cool deal, are they. What kind of
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: goals have you set your set for yourself for your
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: senior year.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I set an ambitious goal of hitting two hundred and
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: thirty feet in the hammer as well as winning the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: shop at state championship.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Oh man.

• 22:46

• 22:51
  Speaker 2: which is really really cool. Let's talk about boys swimming
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and diving. Of course, when we do, we have to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: talk about Stafford Insurance. Go check them out in person
• 22:59

• 23:09
  Speaker 2: this over this past weekend and in two a. As
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Bainbridge Island the perennial favorites year in a year out,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: seems like they took hill in the state championship once
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: again with three hundred and ninety four points. Holman finished
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: second three hundred thirteen points and a Chordus how about
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: that one hundred and eighty seven points Poor Angelus fourth,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: five fifth. Bellingham as a team took fifteenth place. Seaholme
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: took twenty first, and Squalak them took twenty second. We
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: do have some individuals to talk about here. In the
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: fifty freestyle adaptive a couple of swimmers from Seaholme, Kyle
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Borton and Jack Gouo, took sixth and seventh. The same
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: two swimmers took sixth and seventh and the fifty backstroke
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: adaptive division. In the five hundred freestyle, how about Bellingham
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: freshman Camp Hancock with a time of five minutes and
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: twenty point six to one seconds, took eighth place in state.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Just a freshman out of Bellingham. We'll be talking about
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: him for the next three years. I'm pretty excited about that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: But where Walkin County really shined was in diving. We
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: kind of knew this going in, where a lot of
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the top divers in the state were coming out of
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the three schools from the city of Bellingham here and
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: they finished first, second, third, fourth, and sixth. That is
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: just incredible. In sixth place was Alex Whitman of Squalicum.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: In fourth place, Keaton Espinoza Bellingham, third place, Miles Ludwig
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: of Bellingham in second place, Nolan Whitman of Squalicum, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: your state champion in diving for twenty twenty six is
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Caden Schmidt of Seahome, now a two time state champion.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: That is super impressive and with a score of two
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: hundred and ninety two point four to five points. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: it was great. I got this great picture emailed to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: me with all the swimmers, those five right there that
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: finished in the top six all closing together. A really
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: really cool deal. I mean, I don't know if that's
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: ever happened in Walkam County history, where five out of
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the top six placers were all from Walkham County. So
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: very very impressive there. You know, until next fall when
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: it'll be girls swimming again when we go back into
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the pool, but no swimming in the spring, so good.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of young swimmers this year, so
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be a lot of the same names next year,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: and that's going to be really really cool. And it's
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: fun when you go out to the pool too, because
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: you see all these record times for like youth swimming
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: and stuff, so you know there's going to be some
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: big time swimmers coming up. So it's a sport that
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I'm learning more and more about and it's really fun
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: to learn and and it's awesome and really good showing,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: like I said, especially in diving at the state championships.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about girls basketball now. The nightly scoreboards
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: are brought to you by Edeling Darry from Satisfied Cows
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: to Satisfied Customers. Editling Darry is my favorite place in
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Walkham County to get a cold treat. You can check
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: them out at any of their five stores, two in Linden,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: one and Blaine, one in Suemass and of course the
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: one in Ferndale, where I find myself the most often.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Let's take let's take a look at the week that
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: was in girls basketball. I mean it was. It's one
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: of those crazy, crazy weeks for girls and boys basketball,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: just driving out to Mount Vernon or Linden every other night,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and and elimination games and I mean, chances to go
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: to state all that stuff. So we're just gonna go
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: through the week here, game by game. We're gonna start
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: off with Monday night out at Linden High School. There
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: was a couple of two A girls' games here and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: they were both elimination games. Squalaum defeated Lakewood fifty six
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: to forty two. Avery Ktman was six to eleven from
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: the field for a team high fifteen points. She led
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the Storm. Lexi Robbins had eleven points, Julie Paz seven points,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and that was a big, big win. It eliminated the Cougars,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: kept Squalaum's season alive. And on the other side, or
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: kind of next to that, the bracket it was it
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: was not to be had for the Seahome Mariners. It
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: was kind of a surprise here Anna Courtus getting them
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: fifty five to fifty. Sealm was ahead early, but Anna
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Cordis just just played really really well throughout the rest
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: of the game, and that was that. They eliminated Sea
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Home Season, who ended their year with the record of
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: sixteen and eight. Caitlin Schroeder had twenty two points in
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: that game, and uh, but that was that. That was
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: a tough one. Seal has a lot of you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: players returning. I want to say, they're returning for their
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: five starters. So it was just I wasn't expecting the
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: season to end on Monday night for the Mariners, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they weren't either.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: But.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: It was it was. It was a tough one. Going
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: on to Tuesday night. This was also out at Lyndon
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: High School, there was the one A district championship game,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: which has been the same matchup I think for five
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: years in a row, maybe six, Lynn and Christian and
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Nuksack Valley. Lyndon Cris jumps out to an eighteen to
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: four lead after one quarter. They defeat the Pioneers fifty
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: eight to twenty seven, which means Linda Christian going back
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: to state once again and Nizack Valley had to regroup
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: and play later on in the week. Big big game
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: there for Ella Fritz who scored fourteen points, Jocelyn Sis
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: had twelve points, and Jessin Young came off the bench
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: to score ten points. On Nuksack's side, Peyton Barto led
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: them with eleven, Grace d Hoague had ten, but you know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: fighting points was just tough with the Pioneers that night
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: and Lenna Christian was dialed in and they move on
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: to the state tournament. Also in one B action was
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: the tried district tournament kicking off as Lemon Nation defeated
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Concrete seventy one to twenty three. They Concrete turned the
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: ball over thirty three times and Lemon Nation took advantage
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: there as Jordan Reeder, the eighth grade guard, hit four
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to three pointers. She scored twenty one points to go
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: with ten rebounds, six assists or I'm sorry, six steals
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: and four assists. Jemma James Nearly had a quadruple double
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: with eleven points, ten assists, nine rebounds and eight steals.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Briandon Mattiba had a double double with thirteen points and
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: ten boards. So a lot of good things for elimination.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: They're kicking off their tried district tournament the right way
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: with a seventy one to twenty three win there. Going
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: on to Wednesday night, it was more of the same
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: as far as elimination games go, and this was down
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: in Mount Vernon where Squalicum facing Anna Chordis for a
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: chance to play in that crossover Squalkam wins fifty one
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: to thirty six. Big big game there for Lexi Robbins,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: she scored I think she scored twelve points. Tianna Thompson
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: also scored twelve points. Aprey Kpman scored thirteen points. Addison
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Kentman grabbed twelve rebounds. Very balanced game. Klie Harper seven points,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Jasmine singh Sanchez at five points, and they were very determined.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: They held Anacorda scoreless in the second quarter and they
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: were able to move on and eliminate the Seahawks. They
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: were kind of eliminating all this, all the southern schools,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you know, Lakewood and Ana Chordis and and they just
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: they just kept that season going and it was a
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: big one for them. Also on that same night, Ferndale
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: had to go down to play against Shore Crest in
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the three to eight tournament, and even though Ferndale scored
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: sixty nine points, the second highest eight scored all year,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: it was not to be, as they lost ninety to
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: sixty nine. Short Crest just much taller and able to
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: get a lot of rebounds and second chance points, and
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: they end up scored thirty two in the final quarter.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: They're finished with ninety points. Kayla Washington and Abby White,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: the two seniors, both scored thirteen points. Kenzi Dawson scored
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: twelve points. Bucklyn Lair had nine points. But Ferndale season
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: comes to an end there as they they did what
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: they did, they did what they could to keep going.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: But after losing jilliat Fox, they knew it was gonna
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: be tough, especially inside, and their season comes to a
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: close at nine and fifteen. On the following night, we
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: have another district championship game, and this was Linden taken
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: on Archbishop Murphy. And this was gonna be a fun
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: one to watch because I think it was like the
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Saturday before, I watched both those teams just destroy their
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: competition in the semi finals, knowing that this was gonna
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: be a great, great championship game. And after one quarter
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: it was tied twelve twelve, and but Linden did some
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: you know, they make their adjustments and they end up
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: winning fifty eight to forty. Finleyparcher twenty five points. She's
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: now over fifteen hundred points in her career. Bayton Mills
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: scores twelve points. Lexi hermonuts with nine points. She also
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: had five blocks on the game. Just the best, probably
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: the most underrated defensive player in the Northwest Conference. Lexi Herman.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: She can. She's just she's very well. She has really
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: long arms, which which is a good start. But she's
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: very intuitive, very quick, and she knows how to tip
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the ball whether it's a steal or a block without
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: picking up a foul. It's very, very impressive and a
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: really fun player to watch there. Linden takes the district
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: championship game. Both teams going to the state tournament. We'll
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: talk about that in a little bit with the seeding
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and everything there, but congratulations to lynnon on keeping their
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: undefeated streak alive. In the semi final game, Leimon Nations
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: fell to Cross Point Christians sixty one to fifty and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: their tri district tournament in one B action, and it
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: was it was just kind of weird to see. They
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: had a down quarter in the third quarter, they were
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: outscored twenty to nine, and it just things just kind
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: of changed from there. They were not hitting on their
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: threes like they usually do and it was a rough one.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: But even because they got to the semis, that means
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: they were are going to already go to state, so
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: they're just playing for seeding here, but it would have
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: been nice to get that win there. They do not
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: pick it up and the Wildcats pick up the win there.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: In that game, Jordan Reeders scored twenty three points to
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: lead elimination. She was the only one that scored in
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: double figures. She connected on five to three pointers. Pretty impressive.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: There just an eighth grader. As we were talking about
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: earlier on the following night, Friday night, this was this
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: was another crazy night back out at Lyndon elimination game.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker defeats Meridian forty six to forty four in overtime.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Holy cow, there's so much to talk about here because
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: there was so much going on. But there was a
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: game of runs back and forth. You know, whenever it's
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: an elimination game, it's you know, you kind of see
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: things that you don't see too often. You might see
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: a player come out of nowhere and have a big game.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: It was a lot of back and forth. And one
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: thing I did notice was, you know, Rebecca Sore has
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: picked up two early fouls and Mount Baker was up
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: three to zero at that point. It's very early in
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the game. She had to sit down the rest of
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the quarter. Ridding goes in a fourteen to oh run
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: with her sitting on the bench. She comes back in
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the second quarter and then she breaks a shoelace, so
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: she has to go back to the bench. And it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: think it's and you're thinking, well, this is gonna be
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: one of those crazy nights. But Mount Baker started playing
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: really well without Rebecca on the floor, and that they
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: started to get belief that they could do it. And
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Gabby Nuttings started, you know, she really had the game
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: of her life, just a freshman. I mean, she's fearless
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: out there and she was getting steals, hitting deep shots
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: and that was really good to see. But when Rebecca
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: came back in and she started doing her thing, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker was able to take the lead. But Riading
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: comes back the fourth quarter and ties it up, it
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: goes into overtime in overtime, well, I think right before overtime,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Gabby Nutting did foul out in overtime and I think
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Rebecca Soros fouled out before regulation ended as well. So
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: they were the two leading scorers in that game for
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker. And but it was Aurora George, the sophomore,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: who scored all five of Mount Baker's points in overtime,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: and she was three or four on foul shots. And
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: then with the game tied with eleven seconds to go,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Meridian had possession the inbound the ball and Aurora George
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and Macy Kamannga trapped the Meridian player right at half
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: right at the half the midline and the ball pops
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: it up in the air. Aurora George grabs it, runs
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: down and lays it in and all of a sudden,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: there's no time left and that was that and Mount
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Baker ran onto the floor. It was a it was
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: a crazy scene. I was trying to try to get
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: video of it, and I was just too late. I
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: was just captured in the moment, and I you know,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I got to witness it live, but I
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: wanted to get a good angle to show everybody else,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: but it just didn't happen. Really really impressive play Meridian.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: It ended Meridian season. I mean they had one of
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: those just unbelievable years where they won a lot of
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: games in the last couple of minutes, I mean many,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: and it was a fun year for them because I
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: really think that just with the one senior, Taya Benson,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: who will be missed, I think that it's a good
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: group going forward. They finished their season with an eight
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: and fifteen record. The win by Mount Baker meant that
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: they had to turn around and play next the next
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: afternoon after playing a crazy overtime game, and that would
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: be a winner to state loser out game. So those
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: are always the kind of the craziest games that they are.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: And in that game, knixac Valley was waiting for them.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: They were rested, and they knew exactly what to do. Run, run, run,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: tip the ball and go. And they ran out to
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: a twenty three to five lead after the first quarter.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I mean, that's that's tough. They're up thirty five,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: fourteen a be half and there was just not a
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: lot Mount Baker could do to try to come back.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Violet Fox had a tremendous game fifteen points, eight rebounds,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: five assists, five steals. She played all thirty six minutes
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: the night before, all four quarters and the overtime period
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: without sitting. And but you know, it was it just
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't to be for Mount Baker. You know, they they
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: there were one step away from state and it's and
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: they've had a crazy year with all the you know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: chaos going with out of deming. I mean, it's it's
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: it's a long story, as Jim Carrey wrote in one
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: of his stories, but by a season that they could
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: be extremely proud of, and with a lot of players
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: coming back, the future looks pretty bright for the Mountaineers.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Nuksack Valley, who's a little more senior heavy, and they've
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: been there, done that. They are going to state with
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: this win, sixty two to thirty six. Peyton Bartell with
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: twenty eight points in the game and she seemingly couldn't
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: miss at times. I mean she was on a mission.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: And Grace Dahoag how about eleven points and twenty eight
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: rebounds showing what she could do in the paint. That
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: was really, really, really impressive. So Nooksack Valley is able
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: to advance back to state, and which means that, you know,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: these seniors, this is the this is their fourth year
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: in a row going to state, so very very impressive
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: for them. In one B on Saturday, leimon Nation defeated
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Muckleshute Tribal fifty five to twenty four to take third
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: place in the one B Tried District tournament. They went
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: on a twenty two to oh run in the first
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: half and they just kind of cruised from there. Jemma
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: James twenty four points, seven rebounds, six steals and four assists.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Alina Raebang picks up the double double, and Jordan Readers
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: scored eleven points and leim Nation means they are well.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: We already knew they were going to state with that
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: win over Concrete. By getting to win gives them a
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: little better draw there and we will talk about that
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: in a little bit. One last game on Saturday, and
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: it was a tough one for the Squalicam Storm, who
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: had already picked up to their twentieth win on the
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: year earlier in the week, only second time in school
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: history that they had done that, but a trip to
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: State was not in the cards. They were defeated by
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the Seal of Vikings, who came across the mountains to
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: play in this crossover District one District five game for
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: that final spot in the state tournament. They drop at
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: sixty one to thirty nine. That was a really, really
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: tough one. Addison Kepman led in almost every statistical category.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: She had twelve points, eight rebounds, three steals, two block shots.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: She also hit both of her three point attempts and
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: yeah and squalk them. You know, this is another team
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: that has a lot of players coming back and you
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: just kind of wanted them, and you know, the Mountaineers
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: and these younger teams that look like they have a
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: bright future, You wanted them to just get to state
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: so they can experience it, you know, so then next year,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: when it's an easier path for them, perhaps they will
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: have already experienced it and they'll be ready to go.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: But for both those teams, they get eliminated on Saturday,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: and if you want to get the state, you're gonna
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: have to do it next year. So great, great year
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: had by so many of these teams. It's hard to
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: believe that, you know, it's just four teams left for
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: the girls for basketball, Lyndon Land, Christian Nukak Valley and
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: lem Nation. And we will talk about what they have
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: coming up here. Let's check that out right now. In
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: one b lem Nation will play. See that we don't
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: We don't really have times and locations just yet. As
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: by the time that I'm recording this, I'm not quite
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: sure if things have been set. I'm kind of looking here.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Looks like things are starting to get set. So lem
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Nation will play on Friday night at eight am at
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the University of Huget Sound against top ranked Nia Bay.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: So elimination is the eight seed. Now here's the deal.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Because they're the eight seed. Even if they lose this game,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: they're still going to go over to Spokane to play
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: in their tournament. They just have to play an extra day.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: So if they win, then they will move on and
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: play on March fifth, which is that Thursday night at Spokane.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: They'll already they'll already move into the quarterfinals. If they lose,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: then that means that they will play on Wednesday night
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: and they will take on the winner of See, there's
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: lots of games going still, so there's like Evergreen Lutheran
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: and Muckleshoot Tribal are playing each other on Tuesday, and
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: the winner of that will face Almaira Koley Heartline and
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: the winner of that would face the loser of the
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Nia Bay elimination game. So there's still kind of a
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: lot going on here. But base what I'm saying is
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: the Lady Blackhawks have already secured their spot to go
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: over to Spokane, so that's awesome. It's more about are
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: they going to end up playing on Wednesday or Thursday
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: for their first game, and that's what will be determined
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: on Friday night at the University of Puga Sound against
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: top ranked Na Bay. They played Na Bay earlier in
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: the year and only lost by four points. This is
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: against the top team in the state. So they kind
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: of know what to expect. But it's great that they
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: got the eighth seed because that means for sure that
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: they are going over to Spokane to play. And so
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: that's a great, great thing for the leimination Lady Blackhawks.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: And if we look at the one A bracket, we
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: got a couple teams here. Lynden Christian got the three seed,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: which means that they will be playing on Saturday at
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: six o'clock at Lynden High School against Bellevue Christian. Bellevue
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Christian is the sixth ranked team and and let's see here,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: so this means both teams will be going to Yakama
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: for sure, but the winner goes straight into Thursday. The
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: loser would go into Wednesday. Now the winner of this
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: game and Linda Christians is you know, quote unquote hosting,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So if they win that game, then there are like
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: I said, they're going, they're jumping into Thursday. If they lose,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: then they go to Wednesday where they would face the winner.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Let's see here. Sorry if this is confusing. If they
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: lose against belv Christian, then they will play on Wednesday
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: at Yakama against the winner of Bear Creek and Wapitau.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: So either way, they're going to Yakama. Nuksak Valley has
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: a little bit of work to do. They got the
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: nine seats, so that means that they will be playing
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: sixteen seeded Kingsway Christian. That will be on Saturday at
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: two o'clock also at Lindon High School, and if you lose,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: you're done for the year. This is the exact same situation.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I believe it's the exact same situation they were in
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the last year where they were the nine seed, which
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: meant they played the sixteen, but they had to win
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: just to get to Yakima. So if they win, then
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: they would go to they would play in Yakma on Wednesday,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: and they would face the loser of kings and Lakeside.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: King's the top ranked team in the state, so would
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: probably be Lakeside. So but Knixzack Valley has to take
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: care of business on Saturday at two pm Lynnon High
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: School against Kingsway Christian and hopefully that can happen. So
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: good luck to the Pioneers and if they can win
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: and they can get over there and play on a Wednesday,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I want some Wednesday games because I'm going to be
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: there in Yakama. I'm going to be there and to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: get there Tuesday, so I'm gonna I'm hoping there's Wednesday
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: games and it sounds like, you know, if Nixzack Valley
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: can get the job done here, then boom, we got
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: one right there. So that is one. Linden Christian's the
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: third ranked team. They were playing Bellevue Christian at Lyndon
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: High School six pm on Saturday. Nexsac Valley the ninth
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: ranked team, facing Kingsway Christian four hours earlier at the
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: same high school, Linden High School at two pm. Let's
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: look at two A where Linen Lyons got the number
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: one seed. Not surprising there, and let me just refresh
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: this and see what's going on. So they will be
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: in between those two games. I was just talking about.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm sorry. They're gonna play Friday night at
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Linden High School against Sela and we just saw Sela
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: against Squalkum. I tell you what, the Cela Vikings are fast.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, Linden is a different animal, but Sela's pretty good,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: so that'll be a good game. Both teams will move
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: on to Yakama. It's about the winner going to Thursday,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: loser goes to Wednesday. So Linen will take on Sela
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: at Linden High School Friday night at six o'clock, so
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: very very important. There no other Wacom County teams to
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: talk about in girls to a. So there you have it.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: That's kind of your that's all your girls' basketball stuff
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: for what's coming up with the what you want to
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: maybe call the opening round or the regional round of
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the state tournament before going to Yakama and Spokane and
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: their respective classifications. Let's take a look at the stat
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: leaders there are there is a well, there's actually a
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: couple changes here which we haven't had many in the
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: last few weeks. And of course when you look at
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: the stat leaders, we talk about Acceleration Driving School in Linden,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: where many of you out there are learning to drive.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: I strongly advise you to check out Acceleration Driving School
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: in Linden. Give Kevin a call at three six zero
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: seven four six four five six seven tell him you
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: heard about them on the Walcome Preps podcast. Finle Departure
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: of Linden is still leading in every scoring and shooting
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: category now at twenty two and a half points per game.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Sixty eight percent field goal percentage, eighty three and a
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: half free throw percentage, and forty four point three percent
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: in three point percentage. So, my goodness, she is just
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: a force to be reckoned with. I say it all
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: the time, but I can't believe she's just a junior.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: In rebounds per game, we do have a new leader,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Graced Hoague of Nuksack Valley now at fifteen point six
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: rebounds per game, Ladies and gentlemen, She's getting extremely close
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: to one thousand career rebounds. I've been keeping those numbers.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I'm gonna have to check.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: You know, it's possible Susan Anderson of Mount Baker, maybe
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Kim Hansen at Nuksack Valley. I don't know. I don't
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: know if there's been a player that has reached a
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: thousand career rebounds in girls basketball in Walking County. So
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: still doing some research on that. It's very possible that
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I bet that it's happened. But gris To Hoague is
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: getting very very close. So she is now at fifteen
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: point six rebounds per game. Brooklyn lra via Ferndale optakes
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: the assist leader at five point one assists per game.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Her season is done, however, so she's had the whole lot.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: She's gonna be holding onto that fight. But one averages
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: will not change once you're done playing, so she might
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: end up holding on to that for good steals per
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: game to still Jim and James of Lumination at six
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: point one and Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker leading the
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: way in blocks per game at three even. And now
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: it's time for the Anytime Fitness Player of the Week,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: and of course you gotta check out Anytime Fitness in Linden,

  Speaker 2: for the Anytime Fitness Player of the Week. But with
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: the stakes what they probably you know what they what
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: not probably, but what they were at the time. I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: giving this to Peyton Bartle Nooksack Valley. She really got
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: that team going in a winner to state loser out contest,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: willing her team with scoring fifteen points in the first quarter,
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: really setting the tone, ending with twenty eight points in
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: that game. And I could be wrong, but I think
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: she won it last year in this exact week with
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: the games that she played out at Lyndenhissel's. But when
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: games are on the line and you need to get
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: to State, that's when she does her best. Hayton Bartle

• 50:05
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna do the same thing like we did
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: kind of with girls basketball, We're gonna start at the
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: beginning of the week and go forward with boys basketball
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Monday night. I was down there at Mount Vernon for
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: a couple of games that it was just it just
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: didn't go Walking County's way. That first game, Lakewood defeated
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Squalakum fifty five to forty one. Squalkum just just couldn't
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: buy a bucket, you know, the couldn't get the offense going.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Lakewood's defense has a lot to do with that, but
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: it just wasn't you know, the points just were not coming.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, they scored almost half their points in the
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter alone, and they only reached forty one total.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: The Squalicum season comes to a close with a record
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: of ten and twelve. I think that I'm sure they've
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: already done the voting for All conference and everything, but
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if David Dunham gets some
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Coach of the Year respect some votes there, because you know,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of new faces. Hunter Callaway was
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: out for the first month of the season and to
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: finish where they did is pretty impressive. Great great job
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: there by the coaches. And then the second game Burlington
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Edison beats Sea home sixty two to sixty. I knew
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: this was going to be a close game. It's tough
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: because it's a loser out game. Yeah, it was. It
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: was kind of crazy. Mariners went up and got off
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: to a seven zero lead with just two minutes of
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: play into the game. Burlington Edison then went on a
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: seventeen to eight run. The Tigers rup by eight points
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: at halftime, and they began the second half with an
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: eleven to zero run, which gave him a nineteen point lead,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: and then Stealom started to come back. And actually it
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: was Xavier Kelly, the senior forward, who outscored Burlington and
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Edison's entire team seventeen to eight over the next six
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: minutes of game time. He was just on a tear
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: and got him within a one score game. And that
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: was when senior guard Klay Jackson nailed a three pointer
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: from the right to tie it at sixty to sixty
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: with forty seconds left in the game. And this is
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: where it got interesting because Burlington Nisen had the ball.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: They couldn't hold for the last shot, right because forty
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: seconds left, so you got a thirty second shot clock.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Theod they did the right thing. They're dribbling, they're getting
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: things ready, they're setting up a play, and then right
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: at the very you know, they're getting close to the
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: end of the shot clock. There they set up. They
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: kind of do this set up for a three point
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: shot with their best player. It gets blocked by Xavier Kelly,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: and it looks like it gets blocked and goes right,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: you know, to half court where they're gonna score easily.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: But they blow the whistle on a shot clock violation.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: And that's such a I don't know enough about the
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: rules exactly what needed to be for that, Like if
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: it would have been blocked like a second earlier, then
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: I think it could have kept going. It was just
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: a timing thing where you know, you shoot it at
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: the last second and it gets blocked. But and so
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: it's did they not have control of it at that
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: point when the buzzer when the buzzer went off or what?
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: But they had to stop play, seems thoughts possession. It's
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: a tight game and they have possession with eight seconds
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: left to play. But that's you know, there was a
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: misdroubble at that point. Burlington picks it up, drives down,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: lays it in to at the very end of the game,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: the buzzer goes off. Burlington wins sixty two to sixty
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: crazy ending awesome game by Sea Home to even come back.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Like I said, they were down nineteen points in the
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: second half. Zaber Kelly had a tremendous game, thirty two
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: points on twelve of seventeen shooting, nine rebounds, four block shots.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: He did it all. Nolan Right nine points, five rebounds,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: five assists, and three steals. Sad to say that that's
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: the last high school event we'll see Nolan Wright play.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: I mean I was there for his first high school
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: event out at Civic Stadium week one, starting at quarterback
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: against Mount Baker and then now his last one where
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: you know, he goes down against Burlington Edison in the
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: district tournament, And I mean, I'm super privileged. I got
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: to see the whole span of that great high school
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: career and he's one of the good ones. So it'll
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: be that's the tough thing about doing this is they're here,
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: then they're gone, and it's just a new batch of
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: athletes to keep track of. But it's cool that I can,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: you know, build relationships and friendships with these athletes and
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: cheer them on as they go on in life and
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: what they might do after high school in the athletic
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: realm as well. So it was it was a tough
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: one Monday night out at Mount Vernon High School. But
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: that's just the way the cookie crumples sometimes, as they say.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: So see, home season comes to an end with a
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: record of fifteen and eight. The following night out at
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Lynn And High School, there was the district championship game
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: for the one A and Lynn and Christian defeated Nufsack
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Valley so seventy six to fifty eight. This game was
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: pretty close early on. I mean, Nuksac Valley was doing
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: all the right things to try to, you know, to
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: stay in this game. And and but Lyndy Christian started
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: hitting their shots in the third quarter. They scored thirty
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: points in the third quarter. The gunner, Dikstra and Trade
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: and ridden Hour each went four for four from three
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: point land and that was really the biggest difference. And
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: it was so funny because I'm sitting there laughing think
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: about all the games I covered at district tournaments with
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: their dads putting up you know, a ton of points.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Dykstra and ridden Hour and It's like, Man, I've been
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: doing this a long time. If I remember that so vividly, well,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: those games were played down in Mount Vernon, you know,
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: sometimes against each other, but it was you know, it
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: was just kind of like the memories going through my
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: head as I was sitting at the scorers table taking
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: stats at this game. It was it was fun to
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: kind of relive that in my head as it was
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: going on. What it did. It didn't eliminate anybody. Lendy
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: Christian is your district champions, so they are moving on
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: to the state tournament. We will talk about their draw
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: in a little bit. Nukzak Valley had to sit and
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: wait to play on Saturday afternoon in one B try
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: District action. Leimon Nation defeated the Yeshiva Northwest in the
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: opening round there of the tri District tournament for one B.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Jerome Toby big game twenty two points, nine assists, six steals,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: and five rebounds. I believe also in that game he
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: became Lemon Nation's all time leading scorer in points for
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: boys or girls basketball, surpassing Sarah tom one of the
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: best athletes ever to come out of Lemon Nation and
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Jerome Toby now I get twenty one hundred and something points.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Who knows, it's a lot of points. So and which
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: was cool that he did it because it was his
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: final game ever at the home gym there. So after
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: that games were on. The games moved on as they
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: were going to face Summit Classical Christian on Thursday at
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Marysville Pilchuck because of that win. That win also secured
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: them a spot in the state tournament and the following
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: night that might have been the night there was no
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: boys basketball. So the Thursday night, lemon Nation defeated Summit
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Classical Christian eighty five to forty eight. Another big game
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: by Jerome Toby scored twenty points. Dice and Edwards also
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: carved up the defense for twenty nine points. Pretty impressive there,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: and that meant Lemonation was moving on to the TI
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Tri District championship game and also down in Mount Vernon,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: this is where I was Lindon against Anna Chordis for
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: the two A boys District championship game. And this was
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: probably the most physical basketball game I've ever seen. I mean,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: they you know, they've built a pretty good rival there
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: with a lot of sports football and baseball included basketball
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: no doubt, and Anacordis ends up winning fifty to forty
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: seven by holding Linden to just five points in the
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter and getting that comeback win. Pretty impressive by
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the anteriqurt of Seahawks. Linden though even with the loss
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: still going to the state tournament. We will talk about
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: that in a little bit, but just not as high
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: of a seed as they were hoping, but that's okay.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: In the game, Ty Jorgensen led all scores for Lindon
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: with twenty one points. The following night, that Friday night,
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: we had a one a loser out game. Ridan defeated
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Blaine forty nine to forty two, and that was a
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: very physical game as well. Meridan came out and did
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: some good things. Pierce Brozowski huge game nineteen points. Peyton
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Bauma kept Blaine in it, scoring eighteen points trying to
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: come back at the end there they were down pretty
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: heavily going into the fourth quarter. They do outscore Meridian
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: nineteen to eleven in the fourth quarter, but Landon Melton
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: and ended up fouling out. He's their biggest threats scoring
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: the ball, and they just couldn't get their outside shots
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: to fall. Two for seventeen as a team from beyond
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: the Arc for the border rights, and that was really
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: it for them. Their season ended at five and nineteen.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Meridian gets the win late at night, but that just
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: meant they had to turn around and play the next day.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: The next afternoon. There is so less than twenty four
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: hours in a winner to state loser out game, and
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: in that game, they fell to Nuxack Valley seventy one
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: to forty three. You know, I guess I'm not too
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: surprised by the score, because you know, Meridian was probably
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: pretty tired. But it's just kind of surprising because the
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: last couple of years that's always been like a one
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: score game, and there's been so many they've played that
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: winner to state loser out game multiple times and it's
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: always really close. And yeah, but congratulations to the Nuxsack
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Valley Pioneers going back to state for the first time
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: in fifteen years. And when you look at their team,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: so many of these guys are kind of their first
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of seniors on the team that
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: are like playing varsity for the first time. I mean really,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they may have sat on the bench
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: a few games here and there. But when you look
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: at Krup Bauman and Jaden Anderson and Brian Layerley, these
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: guys are are huge contributors. But they're really playing varsity
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: minutes for the first time and they're doing it as
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: seniors and it's so fun to watch them gel together
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: and play so well. You know, Cole Coppenters has played
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of varsity. You know Owen Wickers got a
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: little bit of time last year, but he's doing such
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: great job this year. You know, Weston Silva's kind of
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Got a little bit of varsity experienced
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: last year, he's playing more this year. And then you
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: got other guys Dane Ackerman's got varsty experience and it's
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: just it's a fun team to watch because I think
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: early on there was really hard to see their identity.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: But they're playing their best right now and that's going
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: to be That's a huge deal because going getting back
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: to the state tournament now is a really really cool
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: thing for them. Also, on Saturday, it was Saturday Evening,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: Lemon Nation defeated their big rival to lay up Heritage
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: fifty nine to forty four. That's the fourth time they've
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: played them this year. Twice in the regular season, once
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: for the district championship and now this time for the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: Tri District Championship. Leimon Nation is the trie district champion.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Jerome Toby goes eight for fifteen from the field, seven
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: of nine from the foul line. He has twenty three
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: points and four assists. He leads them to another Tri
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: District championship. And we will talk about their placement at State.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Let's do that right now. With the one B division.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Leim Nation is your top seed for the state tournament,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: which means they will play a game. As I refresh
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: here vamping vamping, they will be on Saturday afternoon at
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: London High School. They will host well I will host
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: atlan In High School. Jakia come. Jaka come as the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: eighth seeded team, and again because this is you know,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: a top eight team, both teams will move on to
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: State again. If Leimination wins, they move on to Thursday
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: in Spokane. If they lose, they will still go to Spokane,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: but they will go and start their tournament on Wednesday.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: So that's just kind of how that plays out right there.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: But very very exciting for them as I'm just now
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: learning when and where these games will be play looks
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: like a lot of them at London High School, which
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: is really exciting for me because it looks like there's
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: going to be like a five header coming up, and
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty I get excited about those kinds of things.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: So that's gonna be a very very very busy Saturday
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: coming up. And elimination again with the top seed, congratulations
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: to them, they are the defending state champions. I didn't
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: know if they would get that top seed, so glad
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: they did. That'll be fun to follow their progress us
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: as we go on to the one A boys, Linden
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: Christian gets the second seed and Nuksack Valley gets that
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: final sixteenth seed, which means that Nucksack Valley will play
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Fort Vancouver. This will be Friday night down at Camus
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: High School, so that's a long way to travel for
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Nuckzack Valley and that's on a Friday night at Camus
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: High School where they will be the visitors in a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: loser out game against Fort Vancouver. So if they win
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: that game. If Nuxack Valley is able to win that game,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: they will move on to go to Yakama to play
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday, and they would play the loser of Zilla
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: and Seattle Christian. Zilla's the top ranked team, so it
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: basically what would be the most likely thing. If Nuxack
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Valley wins, that means they would probably play Seattle Christian
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday at two o'clock at the Yakamau Valley sun Dome. Now,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: if they lose their out and they are the sixteen seeds,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: they just got to find a way to put that
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: together and go on the road and play Fort Vancouver
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: and try to get a win there. Linden Christian as
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: the second seed, that means that they will be playing
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: on Saturday afternoon at four pm at Linden High School
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: against the Shellanne Goats. Now, we saw Shelan last year
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: at the state tournament. They are a rough and tough team.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Lindon Christian though, I mean, it doesn't get a whole
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: lot better than them, So that'll be a fun one
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: to see. That'll be a four pm game at Linden
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: High School. Really really excited for that one. In two
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: A because I know I'll be there. That's the best part.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: In two A we do have the Linden Lions and
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: London is the nine seeds, So that means that they
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: will get to host and they will play Friday night
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: at their high school, Linden High School at eight o'clock
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: and they will play sixteen seed Franklin Pierce. Now this
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: is a loser out game. This could be it for Lyndon,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: but if they win, they get to go on and
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: play on Wednesday at the Yakama Valley Sun Dome and
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: they will face the loser of Bremerton and Renton. So
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: it would most likely be Renting. So if Lynnon can
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: get by Franklin Pierce at home on Friday night, then
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: they would take They would likely take on Renting on
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Wednesday the fourth at the Yakama Valley Sun Dome. That
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: game would be at nine o'clock. Got the big got
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: the late game there. I'll be ready, I'll go, I'll
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: be I'll sleep in, I'll be ready. So this is
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I get all excited about this.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: So we got it. We got a lot of games. Uh,
