Speaker 1: This is Frendale senior Evan Zaxmon and you're listening to
0:03
Speaker 1: the Walcome Preps Podcast with Tyler Anderson. It's a matter
0:06
Speaker 1: of prayer. Greetings and welcome to the Walkham Preps Podcast.
0:20
Speaker 1: This is episode four hundred and sixteen, the week two
0:24
Speaker 1: spring sports recap, and I am Tyler Anderson of watkamb Preps.
0:29
Speaker 1: I want to give a special thank you to Ferndale
0:31
Speaker 1: senior soccer player Evan Saxman for the intro Golden Eagles
0:37
Speaker 1: went three and oh this week I believe and he had.
0:39
Speaker 1: He was a big part of it, so thank you
0:41
Speaker 1: very much to him. He's also been super helpful to
0:44
Speaker 1: me just with Ferndale Soccer over the years, getting me
0:48
Speaker 1: scores information about the game, so thank you very much
0:52
Speaker 1: Evan for all that as well. I also got to
0:55
Speaker 1: thank Walton Beverage for being a big sponsor of the podcast.
0:58
Speaker 1: Walton Beverage has been a ape in our community for
1:01
Speaker 1: over ninety years and I will continue to work harder
1:03
Speaker 1: every day to make the fantastic people at Walton Beverage
1:06
Speaker 1: proud to sponsor youth sports in our community. They deliver
1:10
Speaker 1: superior quality and commitment, and I plan to do the
1:13
Speaker 1: very same as always. We are going to start off
1:17
Speaker 1: with golf, and we're gonna start off on the girls' side.
1:20
Speaker 1: And I have a kind of what we did last
1:22
Speaker 1: year there was kind of like a walk and preps
1:24
Speaker 1: Wokham County top ten. So this is based on what
1:30
Speaker 1: they would have shot if they played eighteen holes averaged
1:33
Speaker 1: out so far this season. If that makes any sense
1:36
Speaker 1: to you, hopefully it does. But basically, you know, because
1:41
Speaker 1: they only been playing nine holes so far this year,
1:43
Speaker 1: so if you shoot a forty, then you get a
1:47
Speaker 1: score of eighty and then they average that out. So
1:50
Speaker 1: like the average scores are, you know, in the close
1:53
Speaker 1: to one hundred. Uh So the Wokham County top ten
1:57
Speaker 1: right now, we're gonna go from ten to one. And
1:59
Speaker 1: number ten is Genevieve Wheelan from Squalicum. She's actually tied
2:04
Speaker 1: for ninth with Esther Irvine of Lynny Christian so they're
2:08
Speaker 1: both averaging. There's score of one oh eight over eighteen holes.
2:13
Speaker 1: In eighth place is Olivia Tanwakio from Blaine with a
2:17
Speaker 1: score of one oh four. She's she's fun to watch.
2:21
Speaker 1: I mean I've seen her in other sports and stuff
2:22
Speaker 1: like that. She's just a great, great kid, and tied
2:26
Speaker 1: for sixth place. We have a couple players, Gabriella Khn
2:29
Speaker 1: of Squalicum and Thora Engen of Blaine, both at one
2:32
Speaker 1: oh three, both really good players in Waka County. And
2:36
Speaker 1: now we have five players now who are averaging under
2:39
Speaker 1: one hundred. So at number five is Stella Hogan of
2:41
Speaker 1: Siaholme who's averaging ninety nine strokes on eighteen holes, and
2:49
Speaker 1: I tell you, every time I watch her, she's she's.
2:51
Speaker 1: The big things that she can do is she hits
2:53
Speaker 1: it straight and that goes a long way. Number four
2:56
Speaker 1: is Dallas Ranky of Meridian with a score of ninety.
3:01
Speaker 1: She's one of the more powerful hitters you know off
3:05
Speaker 1: the tee, so that goes a long way too, especially
3:08
Speaker 1: in girls golf. Number three is Emily O'Toole of Ferndale
3:11
Speaker 1: at ninety three. Emily O'Toole got those long arms and
3:16
Speaker 1: she can get that extension and really drive it aways.
3:20
Speaker 1: Number two is Callie Tan of Meridian at eighty seven.
3:24
Speaker 1: Really good score. There's she won. She's won a few
3:28
Speaker 1: tournaments recently, so she's kind of on a hot streak
3:31
Speaker 1: right now. And number one is Kinsley, rector from Lyndon
3:34
Speaker 1: the Senior. We talked about her a lot last year,
3:37
Speaker 1: probably gonna talk about her a lot more this year.
3:40
Speaker 1: She's averaging eighty three right now, just as steady as
3:43
Speaker 1: it gets as far as Walkam County girls golf, and
3:47
Speaker 1: so she's been she's been a lot of fun. And
3:49
Speaker 1: it's so funny because I read an article saying that
3:53
Speaker 1: she was quoted as saying that she gets really nervous
3:55
Speaker 1: and everything, and I'm just like, man, how dude, how
3:59
Speaker 1: do you get nervous? Like you're the best around you know?
4:02
Speaker 1: And so but that tells me something too that if
4:05
Speaker 1: you and I've heard, you know, I've heard professional athletes
4:07
Speaker 1: say that that they, you know, they get really nervous
4:10
Speaker 1: before a game or a match or an event. And
4:13
Speaker 1: I guess if you love it and you put a
4:15
Speaker 1: lot on yourself, I could see that happening. So it
4:20
Speaker 1: makes sense. So but congratulations to Kinsley right now averaging
4:23
Speaker 1: eighty three per eighteen holes. We'll see if they can,
4:27
Speaker 1: if she can keep that going. On the boys side,
4:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the same thing here. And there's been
4:32
Speaker 1: there's been not as many events, so there was one
4:37
Speaker 1: rain out that I think was supposed to be at
4:40
Speaker 1: Loomis Trail. Probably so. Some of these kids have only
4:44
Speaker 1: played one event, one league event. They may have played
4:46
Speaker 1: some other stuff, but we'll go with what we have.
4:50
Speaker 1: Right now, there is a my goodness, seven way tie
4:53
Speaker 1: for fourth place, all these guys averaging eighty four. This
4:57
Speaker 1: is Shay Campbell of Bellingham. I've heard a lot about him.
5:01
Speaker 1: He's kind of the next, you know, really good player
5:04
Speaker 1: out of Walkham County. You know, every coach says that
5:08
Speaker 1: you know, he strikes the ball extremely well. Camden Chardier
5:11
Speaker 1: of Bellingham eighty four, as well Travis Brockley the third
5:15
Speaker 1: out of Ferndale, gapping enable out of Ferndale, Bryce Wheafer
5:18
Speaker 1: at a Meridian, Carter Hill of Mount Baker, and Samuel
5:21
Speaker 1: Savchek of Mount Baker, all at eighty four. Right now
5:25
Speaker 1: in third place is Jackson Neva of Seaholme shoots and
5:29
Speaker 1: shooting in eighty one or averaging in eighty one. Number
5:31
Speaker 1: two is Cameron Fiara of Ferndale averaging eighty and number
5:36
Speaker 1: one right now probably no surprise in Walkome County is
5:39
Speaker 1: Matthew Blankenberg of Meridian averaging seventy eight. So I wouldn't
5:46
Speaker 1: be surprised if if Blankenberg gets down to the mid seventies,
5:49
Speaker 1: maybe even the low seventies. Just a very, very steady player,
5:54
Speaker 1: and a lot of these there's gonna be a lot
5:56
Speaker 1: of movement coming up because they're probably gonna have to
5:58
Speaker 1: get that match in and that was missed, or at
6:01
Speaker 1: least I would imagine they would at some point. So
6:04
Speaker 1: you might see a week where there's three events, so
6:07
Speaker 1: we'll just have to wait and see on that one.
6:09
Speaker 1: I've been out to a lot of these golf events.
6:11
Speaker 1: It's what one of the correlations I found is so
6:14
Speaker 1: many really good basketball players are golfers. You know, you
6:17
Speaker 1: go out there and you see Hunter Callaway a Squalicum
6:20
Speaker 1: and Peyton Abadia of Mount Baker and Jade Anderson of
6:25
Speaker 1: Nuxack Valley and Owen Wickers of Nuxack Valley and Xavier
6:30
Speaker 1: Kelly of Seahome, and it's just so funny how it's
6:34
Speaker 1: like all these you know, Quincy Tannevan of Seahome, There's
6:37
Speaker 1: all these really good basketball players that that play golf,
6:41
Speaker 1: and it's just a natural you know, I guess it's
6:45
Speaker 1: just a kind of a natural thing there. Carter Hill
6:48
Speaker 1: from Mount Baker, Matthew Blankeberg and Meridian. So yeah, it's
6:53
Speaker 1: just one of those things I've noticed. And it's kind
6:54
Speaker 1: of kind of fun to see a lot of these athletes,
6:57
Speaker 1: you know, crossing over into different sports and and uh,
7:01
Speaker 1: it's always always fun to see. So let's go to
7:05
Speaker 1: girls tennis right now. And in girls tennis now. Last
7:08
Speaker 1: week when we talked, there hadn't been a lot that
7:10
Speaker 1: had happened because there was a lot of rain outs
7:12
Speaker 1: and different things. Now we have some tennis happening. So
7:16
Speaker 1: when we look at the standings right now, Bellingham and
7:19
Speaker 1: Seahome are both three and oh and Linden is two
7:21
Speaker 1: and o, Mount Vernon three and one, Squalkum two and one,
7:25
Speaker 1: Oak Harbor two and one, Blaine is one in one,
7:28
Speaker 1: Anacordis is one and three, while Lakewood, Ferndale, Burlington, Edison
7:32
Speaker 1: and Segar Woolley all still looking for their first wins
7:36
Speaker 1: on the season. And I've been out I've seen almost
7:40
Speaker 1: every Walking county team. I actually, no, yeah, almost every
7:44
Speaker 1: single one, not all of them, you know, out at
7:47
Speaker 1: Lyndon obviously, Halle Brooks, Avery Brooks are you know, very
7:53
Speaker 1: very very very good. They were the state champions doubles
7:56
Speaker 1: last year, they played singles during the regular season and
8:00
Speaker 1: they're almost automatic to get you know, points for their
8:02
Speaker 1: team there. And then you got Rolana Newcomb, who I
8:05
Speaker 1: believe was fourth in state last year in singles, and
8:08
Speaker 1: so she's ranked as she plays as the number three
8:11
Speaker 1: singles for Lyndon, So you're almost looking at that going
8:14
Speaker 1: you're gonna get your three points there and you need
8:17
Speaker 1: four to win at any of the league matches. So
8:22
Speaker 1: so Linden's looking pretty good right now. Like I said,
8:24
Speaker 1: they're two and oh on the year. Bellingham, Ivy Brooks
8:27
Speaker 1: and Ashley Oscar kind of the main one and two there.
8:30
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really really tough for other teams. Sea
8:33
Speaker 1: Home Gabriella Gracia Salgado, she's she's a she's a really
8:38
Speaker 1: really active player, left handed player, moves around really with
8:43
Speaker 1: a lot of ease on the court, and she's always
8:47
Speaker 1: really fun to watch. And OMILYE. Everett very athletic. Sea
8:51
Speaker 1: Home always puts out a lot of really good athletes,
8:53
Speaker 1: so especially in in in tennis, so you expect them
8:58
Speaker 1: to do extremely well as well. And all three of
9:00
Speaker 1: those teams are undefeated right now. Blaine has done pretty
9:04
Speaker 1: pretty well. They're they're you know, they're one and one
9:06
Speaker 1: on the year. They've won seven courts and lost seven courts,
9:09
Speaker 1: so so I see a huge improvement from last year.
9:13
Speaker 1: I really like the doubles team of b Dixon and
9:15
Speaker 1: Carly Saunders. We've seen those two athletes in other sports,
9:19
Speaker 1: you know, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and they are both you know,
9:25
Speaker 1: extremely tall, you know, so they can cover a lot
9:28
Speaker 1: of the court, you know. I would say b is
9:30
Speaker 1: probably around five to ten. Carly Saunders might be six
9:34
Speaker 1: feet tall, So that's that's can be a huge advantage
9:38
Speaker 1: if they're if they're playing together and they can cover
9:40
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of ground. And I think they're
9:43
Speaker 1: two to zero on the season as the top doubles
9:45
Speaker 1: team for the Border right, so they're a lot of
9:47
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I've seen Squalkum Ada Walker and Molly
9:51
Speaker 1: Walker are really good as a one to two punch
9:53
Speaker 1: at the singles, and then they have a good doubles
9:56
Speaker 1: team in in and Isla Hawley and Aaron aid Law.
10:00
Speaker 1: I believe they played together last year as well. They're
10:03
Speaker 1: the top doubles team for squalk Come I want to
10:05
Speaker 1: kind of I really want to see how they would
10:06
Speaker 1: do against that Blaine doubles team with Dixon and Saunders.
10:09
Speaker 1: That might be pretty good. And the Ferndale I've seen
10:11
Speaker 1: a few times as well, Aubrey Lynch. She's kind of
10:15
Speaker 1: bounces back between the number one singles player and then
10:17
Speaker 1: she'll play doubles sometimes two, kind of depending on the opponent.
10:20
Speaker 1: And so yeah, so there's there's a lot of good
10:24
Speaker 1: talent right now. It's still early in the season, so
10:27
Speaker 1: we'll kind of see how things start to play out.
10:29
Speaker 1: You know, once everybody's played everybody, you can really see
10:31
Speaker 1: everything and how it matches out. Hopefully the weather will
10:34
Speaker 1: just stay okay, we'll be able to get more tennis
10:37
Speaker 1: matches in. I always love going to those because you
10:40
Speaker 1: know it's played early enough in the day where I
10:42
Speaker 1: can get good photos with the sunlight. I'm not good
10:46
Speaker 1: at taking pictures at all, so anything that can help
10:49
Speaker 1: with with the sun is actually is a huge, huge
10:52
Speaker 1: bonus for me. That's why it's always tough in the
10:54
Speaker 1: winter because everything's indoors and I just don't you know,
10:58
Speaker 1: I just do not get good indoors. I take four
11:01
Speaker 1: hundred shots or something per game, and I'm looking for
11:04
Speaker 1: a clear one to post. It can be it could
11:07
Speaker 1: be rough sometimes, but with the spring it's a lot
11:09
Speaker 1: of it's a lot of fun to go to go
11:11
Speaker 1: take these pictures. And I'm still learning obviously. I mean
11:14
Speaker 1: my camera's probably ten years old. I don't know what
11:16
Speaker 1: I'm doing, but we're making it work. That's the new
11:19
Speaker 1: thing with social media right now is you gotta have
11:22
Speaker 1: a picture with every post. So that's just the way
11:25
Speaker 1: that it is. Let's go on to Track and Field,
11:27
Speaker 1: which is sponsored by Staffer Insurance. You give them a
11:30
Speaker 1: call three six zero seven four six eighty eight zero three,
11:35
Speaker 1: or visit them in person at nineteen o three Front
11:38
Speaker 1: Street in London, or visit them online at Stafferinsurance dot com.
11:42
Speaker 1: They are always happy to help. We're gonna look at
11:46
Speaker 1: the top times and distances for each event. Now a
11:51
Speaker 1: start off with girls track and one hundred meters is
11:53
Speaker 1: still Sonoma Smith at Bellingham at twelve point five seconds,
11:57
Speaker 1: and the two hundred meters, also Sonoma Smith at twenty
12:00
Speaker 1: five point eight and the four hundred meters. Amaya Reid
12:03
Speaker 1: of Seahome becomes the first girls athlete to break a
12:07
Speaker 1: minute into four hundred meters at fifty nine point four
12:09
Speaker 1: to two in the eight hundred meters. This is something here,
12:13
Speaker 1: this is something pay attention now. Kirsten Ludeman of Seahome
12:18
Speaker 1: broke not only the school record but the Wakam County record,
12:22
Speaker 1: and she shattered it by like five seconds in the
12:25
Speaker 1: eight hundred meters dash or I just guess is not
12:27
Speaker 1: a dash in the eight hundred meters two minutes six
12:31
Speaker 1: point six four seconds. That is a new Wakamb County record.
12:36
Speaker 1: I've been doing a ton of research to make sure
12:38
Speaker 1: that is the truth, and from what I can see,
12:41
Speaker 1: it is the truth. So very very impressive. She also
12:46
Speaker 1: has the top time in the sixteen hundred meters that's
12:49
Speaker 1: four laps around at four minutes fifty five point nine
12:52
Speaker 1: to eight seconds. That is a new school record. And
12:57
Speaker 1: you know she may have even held it from last year,
12:59
Speaker 1: but but that right there is the new school record
13:02
Speaker 1: four fifty five point ninety eight. And you think of
13:04
Speaker 1: Sea Home, you know mile runners, and there's been a
13:09
Speaker 1: lot of them, so that tells you a lot right there.
13:12
Speaker 1: In the thirty two hundred meters, Sloane Clins of Seahome
13:15
Speaker 1: has the top time at ten minutes fifty one point
13:17
Speaker 1: seven to two seconds. In the one hundred meter hurdles,
13:21
Speaker 1: it's Jolie Paz of Squalicum with a time of fifteen
13:24
Speaker 1: point seven to six seconds. Let's see here. In the
13:27
Speaker 1: three hundred hurdles, it is Kira Reeves of Sea Home
13:31
Speaker 1: with a time of forty seven point four to eight seconds.
13:34
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. Jolie Paz and Kira Reeves to me,
13:37
Speaker 1: are very very similar, just tremendous overall athletes, awesome people,
13:43
Speaker 1: and when you watch them play basketball, they're like hustle hustled,
13:49
Speaker 1: like they can defend anybody. But in the fall they're
13:53
Speaker 1: completely different. Jolie Paz is a star volleyball players, Kira
13:56
Speaker 1: Reeves is a star soccer player. So it's just kind
13:59
Speaker 1: of funny how the different athletes can come together and
14:03
Speaker 1: do kind of the same thing once they get to track.
14:05
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I get fascinated by stuff
14:07
Speaker 1: like that. And they're both awesome kids too, which is
14:09
Speaker 1: really cool. In the four by one hundred relay, it's
14:13
Speaker 1: the Seahome team of eight Adriana Phillips, Gwyneth Brown, Madelin
14:17
Speaker 1: Hill and Kylie Ifsovek of a time of fifty one
14:20
Speaker 1: point three four seconds. And the four x two hundred
14:23
Speaker 1: really relay, it's Kira Reeves, Madeleine Hill, Amaya Reid and
14:27
Speaker 1: Kylie ifsovek So very similar team from Sea Home one
14:30
Speaker 1: minute fifty four point nine to eight seconds. I watched
14:33
Speaker 1: that race that was a few weeks ago. The four
14:36
Speaker 1: by four hundred relay, that's the team from Lyndon, Mariah
14:40
Speaker 1: vandermay Ren Dixon, Digitu Bowler and Olivia Holmes for the
14:44
Speaker 1: time of four minutes eighteen point twenty nine seconds. Now
14:48
Speaker 1: in the field events, we'll go to the shot put.
14:50
Speaker 1: Jolie Paz Asqualicum thirty five feet and eleven and a
14:53
Speaker 1: half inches. That is incredible for someone her size to
14:58
Speaker 1: be able to do that. That is she is a
15:01
Speaker 1: very very strong person, pretty incredible. In the discus, Taylor
15:05
Speaker 1: Tellison of Seahome ninety nine feet on the dot, looking
15:09
Speaker 1: to break one hundred feet here at the next meet.
15:11
Speaker 1: In the javelin, it's Jadaknutson of Bellingham one hundred and
15:15
Speaker 1: twelve feet and one inch. I think she threw about
15:17
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four feet last year, so she's
15:20
Speaker 1: aiming to get back to there once again. In the
15:23
Speaker 1: high jumped, Emerson Varga of Ferndale and Adriana Eddie of
15:27
Speaker 1: Seahome each have a high jump of five feet that's
15:31
Speaker 1: the most for this year in Walkin County. In the
15:34
Speaker 1: pole vault it's Emerson's sob Jack of Meridian with with
15:37
Speaker 1: a jump I guess you just you could say of
15:40
Speaker 1: nine feet six inches. In the long jump it's Adrianna
15:44
Speaker 1: Phillips of Sea Home seventeen feet five and a quarter inch.
15:48
Speaker 1: And in the triple jump it's Amelia Coning of Meridian
15:51
Speaker 1: thirty six feet and a quarter of an inch. I
15:53
Speaker 1: think she's about three feet ahead of the next person.
15:56
Speaker 1: So there are you know, when you start seeing things
15:59
Speaker 1: like that, there are and athletes that kind of dominate
16:01
Speaker 1: their specific event. And Emilia Koning is like that in
16:06
Speaker 1: a triple jump, much like Kirsten Ludeman is in the
16:09
Speaker 1: eight hundred meters. Compared to everybody in Walking County history,
16:13
Speaker 1: it's just I still, I just cannot believe that. It's
16:16
Speaker 1: just fascinating, unbelievable. In the boys track and field, we
16:21
Speaker 1: are going to go over all the events here. In
16:23
Speaker 1: the one hundred meters, it's Anson Osby Ornson of Squalicum
16:27
Speaker 1: eleven point zero eight. And when you look at Squalicum
16:31
Speaker 1: all the you know the guys that have ran in
16:33
Speaker 1: that range or faster, it's a who's who, like the
16:37
Speaker 1: greatest football players. There's like Jaevensky, Schlum Baker and Layton
16:40
Speaker 1: Smithson and and you know teaking daughters. I know he
16:44
Speaker 1: didn't play football, but could you imagine, I mean, he
16:46
Speaker 1: was so fast, so there was there's a lot of
16:50
Speaker 1: those guys, and he's right there with him now eleven
16:53
Speaker 1: point zero eight. That is burning in the hundred meters,
16:55
Speaker 1: in the two hundred meters and the four hundred meters.
16:58
Speaker 1: It's Mount Baker's Bright Cooper. And we haven't talked about
17:01
Speaker 1: him since football where he was he tore it up
17:05
Speaker 1: playing football as a running back in a defensive back.
17:08
Speaker 1: And in the two hundred meters his time is twenty
17:10
Speaker 1: three point zero five. In the four hundred meters it's
17:13
Speaker 1: fifty one point three to nine. In the eight hundred meters,
17:16
Speaker 1: it's Nicholas LUs of Lenna Christian two minutes point four
17:20
Speaker 1: to nine seconds. In the sixteen hundred meters it's Judah
17:23
Speaker 1: Taveldi of Meridian four minutes twenty point sixty three seconds.
17:28
Speaker 1: A lot of these times too, are are breaking, like
17:31
Speaker 1: in the top twenty walking County all time, so it's
17:35
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty incredible what they're doing, especially this early
17:37
Speaker 1: in the season. In the thirty two hundred meters, it's
17:40
Speaker 1: Judson Barrath of Seahome with a time of nine minutes
17:43
Speaker 1: thirty two point eight six seconds one hundred and ten
17:46
Speaker 1: meter hurdles Asher Sam's of Lyndon fifteen point two six seconds.
17:51
Speaker 1: In the three hundred meter hurdles, it's Jack Lovgren of
17:54
Speaker 1: Lindon forty one point three one seconds. In the four
18:00
Speaker 1: by one hundred relay, it's the Lynden team of James Ellis,
18:03
Speaker 1: Conrad Timmer, Danny Bowler and Max Ossink with a time
18:07
Speaker 1: of forty three point six to three seconds. And it's
18:10
Speaker 1: another Linden team in the four by four hundred relay,
18:13
Speaker 1: Jack Lovegren, Henry Todd, Luke Scouten and Conrad Timmer three
18:17
Speaker 1: minutes and thirty point zero one seconds. Now to the
18:21
Speaker 1: field events. In the shot put, it is Kiden reda
18:24
Speaker 1: Sell of Mount Baker, the All state left tackle, throwing
18:28
Speaker 1: the shot around a little bit. Forty nine feet three
18:30
Speaker 1: and a half inches. That's that's doing pretty good. I
18:34
Speaker 1: don't know how long he's been he's been doing track
18:37
Speaker 1: and field, but I think he did it. See I
18:39
Speaker 1: can't remember if he did it last year or not,
18:41
Speaker 1: but Mount Baker always seems to have these guys that
18:46
Speaker 1: haven't done track for a like they've just never done it,
18:49
Speaker 1: and then when they become seniors and they know that
18:51
Speaker 1: they're gonna go play college football, they start doing track.
18:54
Speaker 1: You saw it with Davin Beeson, you saw it with
18:56
Speaker 1: Ethan Larson, you saw it with Alex Mololi. All these
19:01
Speaker 1: guys went to go play college football. Kaien Ritasel probably
19:04
Speaker 1: gonna go play college college football, and track and field
19:06
Speaker 1: can really help with that. Now he's leading the whole
19:08
Speaker 1: county in the shop. But forty nine feet three and
19:11
Speaker 1: a half inches in the discus, Hayden Nelson of Squalkum
19:15
Speaker 1: get this. One hundred and seventy five feet and ten inches.
19:19
Speaker 1: That is a new school record. I want to say
19:22
Speaker 1: it's in the top five or so of Walkham County history.
19:26
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Hayden Nelson of Squalcum. That is a
19:29
Speaker 1: one heck of a heave, right, there one hundred and
19:32
Speaker 1: seventy five feet and ten inches, and every time I
19:34
Speaker 1: go to take pictures at the discus, I probably put
19:37
Speaker 1: my life into, you know, my hands a little bit,
19:39
Speaker 1: because I swear I've had discus throwers throw them right
19:43
Speaker 1: over my head. I'm off to the side. I try
19:46
Speaker 1: to be where I can get a good picture. But
19:49
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna hit me, but boy, it
19:51
Speaker 1: gets it gets close every once in a while. In
19:53
Speaker 1: the javelin, Marcus Perez of Ferndale one hundred and seventy
19:56
Speaker 1: five feet and two inches. That is that is really
19:59
Speaker 1: amazing too. And it seems like Ferndale. Ferndale always has
20:02
Speaker 1: a lot of really good javelin throwers. There's something about
20:05
Speaker 1: they must have a good throwing coach or something, because
20:08
Speaker 1: Ferndale javelin always near the top, I mean, very very good.
20:12
Speaker 1: In the high jump, it's Jack Lovegren or I like
20:15
Speaker 1: to call him jumping Jack love Gren six foot two
20:18
Speaker 1: from London in the high jump and just a sophomore too,
20:21
Speaker 1: so I think that number is gonna go up pretty impressive.
20:25
Speaker 1: In the pole vaull, it's Blaze love Grin of Lindon,
20:28
Speaker 1: fourteen feet six inches. Got an athletic family there. In
20:32
Speaker 1: the long jump, James Ellis of Linden, we saw him
20:34
Speaker 1: on the basketball court. How about a long jump of
20:37
Speaker 1: twenty one feet and one and a half inches. And
20:40
Speaker 1: in the triple jump, another impressive performance here Adam Perry
20:44
Speaker 1: Obsqualicum breaks his own school record now with a triple
20:48
Speaker 1: jump of forty six feet two inches. I think he's
20:53
Speaker 1: it's got to be a third or fourth all time
20:55
Speaker 1: in Wakom County history as well. So I mean, we're
20:59
Speaker 1: seeing history being made here. So when you go out
21:01
Speaker 1: to these track and field events and maybe you don't care,
21:05
Speaker 1: these are the things I love and it's kind of
21:08
Speaker 1: it almost is why I one of the reasons why
21:11
Speaker 1: I kind of started or wanted to start something like
21:13
Speaker 1: walk Them Preps. I wanted to be like a reference
21:15
Speaker 1: page where if you're at a track and field event
21:17
Speaker 1: and you see something insane like that, that you could
21:21
Speaker 1: go right to walkompreps dot com. Or maybe if I
21:25
Speaker 1: make an app someday where you could just you know,
21:28
Speaker 1: talking to it and say, hey, what's the school record for?
21:31
Speaker 1: You could search like what's the school record for, you know,
21:33
Speaker 1: long jump at Meridian or something like that, and it
21:35
Speaker 1: would just tell you immediately that's ultimately what I want
21:39
Speaker 1: to build because you know, maybe you are witnessing history
21:43
Speaker 1: and there's just no way of knowing that, and I
21:44
Speaker 1: want to be able to build a reference for the
21:47
Speaker 1: entire counting. So this community deserves it. So there's been
21:51
Speaker 1: some there was amazing performances. And now when we have
21:55
Speaker 1: to talk about what was the most amazing performance of
21:57
Speaker 1: the week, it's the Staff for Insurance Track and Field
22:00
Speaker 1: Athlete of the Week, and I'm gonna go with the
22:04
Speaker 1: Seahome long distance runner Kirsten Ludeman. She broke two school
22:07
Speaker 1: records on Friday, and the two minutes and six point
22:10
Speaker 1: six four seconds and the eight hundred meters is the
22:12
Speaker 1: new Walkham County record, which was previously held by Becka
22:16
Speaker 1: Friday of Bellingham who set that record eighteen years ago.
22:21
Speaker 1: So uh, just incredible, and I you know, is it's
22:28
Speaker 1: something that you know, I don't know, can she you know,
22:34
Speaker 1: can she push herself to beat that even and that's
22:38
Speaker 1: that would be doing a lot because I wasn't at
22:42
Speaker 1: that event unfortunately, so I wasn't there to witness it.
22:45
Speaker 1: I was out at the Bedlington Invite, which I love
22:47
Speaker 1: as well, But and I don't know how much these
22:52
Speaker 1: athletes or schools know, like what the school record is
22:56
Speaker 1: or even what the Walkham County record is, maybe what
22:59
Speaker 1: the state record is. Who knows. I don't know how
23:01
Speaker 1: much they they track it. Pardon the pun, but it's
23:06
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where I'm really trying to
23:10
Speaker 1: track it and trying to stay ahead of it. And
23:13
Speaker 1: so hopefully she understands the accomplishment that she did with
23:16
Speaker 1: the new Walka County record, uh, which is pretty impressive.
23:20
Speaker 1: Let us go to boys soccer now. Everything always sponsored
23:25
Speaker 1: by the North County Alliance FC. To get visit them

Speaker 1: read how you can get your good kid involved. Uh,
24:09
Speaker 1: let's go to the standings right now, and I again,
24:14
Speaker 1: I just have the overall standings. I'm not looking at
24:17
Speaker 1: the conference standings right now, but squalk, I'm still undefeated
24:20
Speaker 1: seven and zero on the year, not even a tie.
24:23
Speaker 1: Seven straight wins to start the year, pretty pretty impressive.
24:26
Speaker 1: How about Sea Homes six zero and two. They did
24:30
Speaker 1: tie that last game. That was a heartbreaker in Mount
24:33
Speaker 1: Vernon where they were up to one in the final
24:37
Speaker 1: closing you know, closing time there, and the Bulldogs were
24:41
Speaker 1: awarded a penalty kick, and of course when you get
24:43
Speaker 1: a penalty kick, the chances of making that are pretty good.
24:47
Speaker 1: They did, so there was the tie there, but still
24:51
Speaker 1: without a loss Seahome Mariners, so that's pretty darn good.
24:55
Speaker 1: Lynnon Christian are On. They're on a five game winning
24:58
Speaker 1: streak right now, there's six and two on the season,
25:01
Speaker 1: and they've been doing the last three games without Harvest Howell,
25:04
Speaker 1: so that's really really impressive that they've rallied together as
25:08
Speaker 1: they're missing one of the best players in the conference.
25:11
Speaker 1: So they're doing a really good job there and playing
25:15
Speaker 1: extremely well. Jackson June on the weekend. He sat five
25:20
Speaker 1: goals and two assists just during the week, so really
25:23
Speaker 1: impressive for him. Lyndon Lions right now, they're on a
25:26
Speaker 1: three game winning streak. You know, they kind of had
25:30
Speaker 1: some weird things happened earlier in the year where they
25:32
Speaker 1: probably didn't play up to their potential, and all of
25:35
Speaker 1: a sudden, since then, it's been blowout after blowout. So
25:38
Speaker 1: the Lions looking really good right now. They're for to
25:40
Speaker 1: one and one Ferndale big week this week. Three wins,
25:44
Speaker 1: five wins on the season, two losses, just the one tie,
25:48
Speaker 1: and beating good teams, so that that's been really good
25:51
Speaker 1: to see for the Golden Eagles. They're definitely on the
25:53
Speaker 1: upward trajectory. Meridian right now three wins, two losses and
25:57
Speaker 1: three ties, so they're a lot like Ferndale last year
26:01
Speaker 1: already with three ties on the season in eight games.
26:05
Speaker 1: Bellingham right now, very very young team with a lot
26:08
Speaker 1: of new varsity guys. Two wins, four losses and two ties.
26:13
Speaker 1: They've you know, they've had a tough schedule so far,
26:16
Speaker 1: playing some pretty good teams. Blaine won five and one.
26:19
Speaker 1: Mount Baker and Nuxack Valley both oh and seven on
26:22
Speaker 1: the year, and you know, the way the week went,
26:27
Speaker 1: I mean it was just kind of you know, there
26:31
Speaker 1: weren't a ton of surprises. Maybe maybe in the scoring
26:34
Speaker 1: a little bit. Squalkin beating Mount Vernon was awesome because
26:36
Speaker 1: that's kind of two when you know, you let's take
26:39
Speaker 1: a step back and you look at the whole conference.
26:42
Speaker 1: Those are probably the two top teams. So squalkm getting
26:44
Speaker 1: that win on the road was was pretty good. Cole
26:51
Speaker 1: Oswalt with the header there with a little over twenty
26:54
Speaker 1: two minutes left in the game to get that to
26:56
Speaker 1: get that one score, you know, Blaine getting their first
27:00
Speaker 1: win this week, it was was pretty big for them.
27:06
Speaker 1: Let's see here kind of looking around, you know, Linden
27:09
Speaker 1: being Bellingham handedly is is is good, Like it's kind
27:15
Speaker 1: of shows where Linden's going right now, squalk them with
27:17
Speaker 1: big big wins over Ana Chordus and knok Sack Valley.
27:19
Speaker 1: That's expected. Yeah, just kinda yeah, things are kind of
27:26
Speaker 1: going the way that you would think. I think the
27:29
Speaker 1: really the big thing. I think Ferndale getting those three
27:32
Speaker 1: wins this week and getting wins over Bellingham, Oak Harbor
27:37
Speaker 1: and Burlington Edison, so you know those aren't just walk
27:42
Speaker 1: over wins. You know you would think of you know you,
27:45
Speaker 1: it'd be hard to go three to oh in one
27:46
Speaker 1: week against those teams, I don't care who you are.
27:49
Speaker 1: And the Golden Eagles prove that they can do it,
27:51
Speaker 1: so that was a good, nice big jump for them
27:54
Speaker 1: as well. Let's take a look at the goal leaders
27:58
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go with the top twelve because we
28:00
Speaker 1: have a five way tie or no, I'm sorry, holy cow, one, two, three, four, five, six,
28:06
Speaker 1: seven way tie for sixth place. We have seven guys
28:09
Speaker 1: that have scored five goals on the season, so let's
28:13
Speaker 1: go through them really quickly. Keenan Deming of Lindon Christian
28:16
Speaker 1: Harvest Howell also of Lyndon, Christian, Mason Ipsovic of SEAHOLMP boy,
28:21
Speaker 1: he had a couple of amazing goals at Mount Vernon
28:25
Speaker 1: and that was that two to two tie. But he
28:27
Speaker 1: can put a bend on a on a soccer ball
28:30
Speaker 1: like I have not seen in a while, so that's
28:33
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. Incredible. Cole Oswall of Squalicum, Crew Johnson of
28:37
Speaker 1: squalkom Isaac Grimes of Squalicum and Haile Van Dyke of Linden.
28:41
Speaker 1: They all have five goals on the year. Three way
28:44
Speaker 1: tie for third place with six goals on the year.
28:49
Speaker 1: Nate Castellone Castellan gott to learn how to say that
28:53
Speaker 1: name right from Linden. He has six goals. Jackson June
28:56
Speaker 1: of Lennon Christian has six and Evan Saxman, the friend
29:00
Speaker 1: Senor gave us the intro, also has six goals on
29:02
Speaker 1: the year. With seven goals. In second place is Marcus
29:06
Speaker 1: Kanan from Lyndon. The sophomore plays a lot of club
29:11
Speaker 1: soccer over the summer, different things, traveling around. Really talented athlete,
29:15
Speaker 1: obviously really good football player as well. And another really
29:17
Speaker 1: good football player. And the number one spot is Maddix
29:20
Speaker 1: Strickland of Squalicumb. He now has twelve goals on the season. Yeah,
29:26
Speaker 1: just a he's just a great kid as well. Transferred
29:28
Speaker 1: from Mount Baker a few years ago, really making his
29:31
Speaker 1: presence known on the Squalicum soccer team like they needed
29:34
Speaker 1: any more help. It's just such a great team, that
29:37
Speaker 1: Storm team. And like I said, seven to zero on
29:39
Speaker 1: the season, pretty incredible. Now we're going to talk about
29:43
Speaker 1: the player of the week. And this has been a
29:45
Speaker 1: This has been tough because I was kind of tracking
29:47
Speaker 1: a few players and looking at different things, and you know,
29:50
Speaker 1: Mason Ivchavik of Seaholme had a really good week, boy,
29:56
Speaker 1: And it came down to two players. I talked a
29:59
Speaker 1: little bit about sophomore Jackson June of Lenny Christian, who
30:04
Speaker 1: had five goals and two assists this week, which is
30:06
Speaker 1: pretty incredible, especially having to kind of step up with
30:09
Speaker 1: Harvest Howell being out. But Evan Saxman three goals against Bellingham.
30:15
Speaker 1: He had four goals this week and three assists against
30:18
Speaker 1: three pretty darn good teams. And I and I'm leaning
30:24
Speaker 1: towards Evan Saxmon, so I am gonna give the North
30:27
Speaker 1: County Alliance FC Player of the Week to the Ferndale
30:30
Speaker 1: senior Evan Saxmon. Congratulations. That's uh, that's a heck of
30:34
Speaker 1: a week he had. Jackson June, you were you were
30:37
Speaker 1: right there. That was neck and neck and uh boy,
30:43
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's been it's been fun to kind of
30:45
Speaker 1: track this and kind of see how everyone's going and
30:47
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And you know, to be honest, I
30:50
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know enough about the game to
30:53
Speaker 1: probably give really good awards and different things like that.
30:58
Speaker 1: But I'm learning, and uh, it's it's it's been interesting.
31:03
Speaker 1: I've gone out to a lot of games and I've
31:05
Speaker 1: seen a lot of stuff. So talk to some coaches
31:08
Speaker 1: and players, and you know, a lot of them are
31:12
Speaker 1: pushing me to try to do a top thirty or
31:14
Speaker 1: top fifty list this year for soccer, and I just like, man,
31:17
Speaker 1: if I get if I get every coach's input on it,
31:20
Speaker 1: then I would probably do it. But for right now,
31:25
Speaker 1: it's I just don't know enough. So that's just kind
31:29
Speaker 1: of the way that goes. We are going to move
31:31
Speaker 1: on to fast Pitch now. Of course, the daily recaps
31:34
Speaker 1: are Fast Pitch are brought to you by the Walcome
31:36
Speaker 1: Wolverines Fast Pitch Club. You can visit them online at
31:39
Speaker 1: wacom Wolverines dot com. They got eighteen U, sixteen U,
31:44
Speaker 1: fourteen U, twelve U, even ten U teams, so you
31:47
Speaker 1: get your kid going at it early, and you see
31:51
Speaker 1: so many of these players that have gone through that
31:53
Speaker 1: system that when once they get into high school, I
31:55
Speaker 1: mean once they're freshman in high school, they're starting on varsity,
31:57
Speaker 1: they are ready. And so there are some youth programs
32:00
Speaker 1: that struggle at the school level, and some programs that
32:04
Speaker 1: don't even exist at the school level, you know, before
32:07
Speaker 1: high school, and it shows once they get to high school.
32:10
Speaker 1: But you can get them playing something like this. It's
32:12
Speaker 1: so helpful and it's fun too because you have all
32:16
Speaker 1: these teammates. And then when you play in high school,
32:18
Speaker 1: you're playing against a lot of your teammates and you
32:21
Speaker 1: know them and it's fun and it's just a it's
32:23
Speaker 1: a really really cool deal. And then the standing standings
32:27
Speaker 1: are brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in London.
32:30
Speaker 1: Many of you out there are learning to drive. I
32:32
Speaker 1: strongly advise you to check out Acceleration Driving School in London.
32:37
Speaker 1: Give Kevin a call at three six zero seven four
32:39
Speaker 1: six four five six seven and tell them you heard
32:42
Speaker 1: about them on the Walcome Preps podcast. And with the
32:46
Speaker 1: standings that we're gonna look at here, we're gonna take
32:48
Speaker 1: a look at how everyone is in the standings right now.
32:51
Speaker 1: Leading the way in Walcome County are the London Allons
32:53
Speaker 1: where three and OH in League play five and two overall,
32:57
Speaker 1: Ferndale one and OH in League Play three and one overall,
33:00
Speaker 1: so they've both moved up in the standings. Nooks and that
33:02
Speaker 1: valley moved down a little bit after they're lost to
33:04
Speaker 1: Sigra woolly. Hey, it's cigar woollie. Man, everybody loses a
33:08
Speaker 1: ce Segar woollie. They're three and one in conference play,
33:11
Speaker 1: four and one overall. Their record probably gonna say five
33:15
Speaker 1: and one. They did play the alumni game on Saturday.
33:18
Speaker 1: I usually don't count those stats into the season, so
33:22
Speaker 1: that's why I have them at four and one. Uh
33:24
Speaker 1: for the Blaine Border Rights, or I should say for Blaine,
33:28
Speaker 1: Meridian and Lyndon Christian. They're all one and one in
33:31
Speaker 1: league play, but they all have different records in overall.
33:36
Speaker 1: Blaine's three and two, Meridians two and two, Linden Christian
33:39
Speaker 1: is two and four. But I tell you what, You're
33:41
Speaker 1: not gonna find a better two and four team in
33:43
Speaker 1: the state. Lynden Christian has stacked their schedule. You could
33:47
Speaker 1: kind of say, like it'd be like they're like Alabama
33:51
Speaker 1: and there when they played non conference opponents, they're gonna
33:55
Speaker 1: go they're playing like Ohio State and Michigan and you know,
33:59
Speaker 1: like stuff like that. Like they are not shying away.
34:01
Speaker 1: They are playing the best of the best in the
34:04
Speaker 1: in the state and and they're learning a lot about themselves. Yeah,
34:08
Speaker 1: they're two and four right now, but by the time
34:10
Speaker 1: they get to districts and possibly State, they're gonna be ready.
34:15
Speaker 1: It's a it's they're a pretty good team Mount Baker.
34:18
Speaker 1: Right now, they moved up to seventh place. They're one
34:20
Speaker 1: and two in conference play and one in three overall.
34:23
Speaker 1: Seahome is oh and three in conference play, one and
34:26
Speaker 1: three overall, and Bellingham still looking for their first win,
34:29
Speaker 1: oh and three in conference play and owen six overall.
34:33
Speaker 1: And let's take a look at the stat leaders. And
34:35
Speaker 1: the stat leaders and the daily scoreboards are brought to
34:38
Speaker 1: you by Manna Insurance Group, so check them out at
34:41
Speaker 1: Mana Insurancegroup dot com or visit them in person seven
34:45
Speaker 1: hundred Front Street in London. Three six zero nine two
34:49
Speaker 1: two zero one four nine is the phone number. And
34:54
Speaker 1: let's look at the stat leaders right now. We're gonna
34:57
Speaker 1: start off with batting average and you got to have
35:02
Speaker 1: enough at bats to qualify. So right now, it looks
35:05
Speaker 1: like Masa Poles of Blaine is leading the way with
35:09
Speaker 1: a seven hundred batting average. And here's the here's the
35:12
Speaker 1: crazy thing. She's she's seven for ten on the year.
35:15
Speaker 1: But she's also walked twice, and she's been hit by
35:18
Speaker 1: a pitch seven times. Is that right? Seven times being
35:22
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch? Mesa, are you okay? Tell me
35:25
Speaker 1: you're okay? Seven times? That is that's a lot. I mean,
35:28
Speaker 1: Blaine's only played five games, so she gets hit my
35:32
Speaker 1: pitch more than one time per game. That's h And
35:35
Speaker 1: she's such a likable person. I don't know why anyone
35:37
Speaker 1: want to hit her with softball. But anyways, Masa polls
35:41
Speaker 1: right now leading the way and batting average with a
35:44
Speaker 1: seven hundred batting average. She also has a seventeen hundred
35:47
Speaker 1: slugging percentage, so that helps, you know, with a couple
35:51
Speaker 1: extra bases and stuff like that. With her seven hits,
35:53
Speaker 1: four of them have been for extra bases, two of
35:56
Speaker 1: them home runs, two of them triples, So that goes
35:57
Speaker 1: a long way there. In on base percentage, it's Mason
36:02
Speaker 1: Pulse again, eight forty two on base percentage, so she
36:05
Speaker 1: gets on base eighty four percent of the time. That
36:07
Speaker 1: is that is crazy and you can't just put her
36:11
Speaker 1: on She got a Leah Bowman Batton after so but
36:15
Speaker 1: right now, it's been a strong start to the season
36:18
Speaker 1: for the Blaine Senior. When you take a look at
36:21
Speaker 1: runs scored, it's Campbell to Young of Lindon has scored
36:24
Speaker 1: thirteen runs so far on the season. In hits, it
36:28
Speaker 1: is also Campbell to Young with thirteen hits leading the way.
36:32
Speaker 1: In doubles, Gracie Ruckers of Nuksack Valley has four doubles already. Boy,
36:37
Speaker 1: I saw one against Lakewood. She smashed it to right
36:40
Speaker 1: center field off the fence. Boy, she really got a
36:44
Speaker 1: hold of that one. It's again another athlete that you
36:47
Speaker 1: see a lot on the volleyball court and then you
36:49
Speaker 1: get to see it cross into fast pitch, which is
36:52
Speaker 1: really cool to see. In triples, I mean it's got
36:55
Speaker 1: to be Campbell to Young. Yeah, she's got four triples
36:57
Speaker 1: on the year. She hit three triples in one game.
37:00
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a some kind of record
37:03
Speaker 1: or something, but it should be. That's pretty incredible. In
37:07
Speaker 1: home runs, let me click on home runs here. We
37:09
Speaker 1: have a couple of players with three home runs already
37:12
Speaker 1: on the year. Aliah Bowman, who we talked about a
37:14
Speaker 1: little bit earlier, she's got three home runs and Roxanne
37:17
Speaker 1: Lending of Lyndon Christian also has three home runs. I
37:20
Speaker 1: believe she had seven last year, so I don't know
37:24
Speaker 1: how many she had as a freshman. She may have
37:25
Speaker 1: had a couple as a freshman. So and I'll be
37:29
Speaker 1: at some point soon, hope in the next couple weeks
37:33
Speaker 1: or so, I will have career stats for active players
37:36
Speaker 1: like available to see, so you can kind of see
37:39
Speaker 1: kind of where these players are actively and you know
37:43
Speaker 1: kind of where they are as far as what they've
37:45
Speaker 1: done in their entire career, or you can click on
37:48
Speaker 1: them and you can see their whole profile, much like
37:50
Speaker 1: I had for basketball stuff like that. And so, yeah,
37:54
Speaker 1: those are the two leaders in home runs and RBIs.
37:57
Speaker 1: It's Callie Rammerman of Lindon with fifteen RBIs on the year.
38:03
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty good numbers. She has ten hits and
38:05
Speaker 1: fifteen RBIs. So she's coming up with people on a lot,
38:08
Speaker 1: you could say a lot with Campbell to Young bat
38:10
Speaker 1: and ahead of her. That could be part of it
38:12
Speaker 1: right right right there. The crazy thing is Campbell to
38:14
Speaker 1: Young is second with twelve RBIs. So then you got
38:18
Speaker 1: to look and say, okay, that's Sarah McVie getting on.
38:20
Speaker 1: That's Casey to Young in the nine spot getting on,
38:23
Speaker 1: so you start seeing a lot of those trends. It's
38:25
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. For stolen bases, Campbell to young again, eleven
38:29
Speaker 1: stolen bases on the year, no surprise there. I'm really
38:32
Speaker 1: curious if she's at or above one hundred steals in
38:36
Speaker 1: her career. I have all the numbers, I just haven't
38:38
Speaker 1: had the time to put everything together yet, So I
38:41
Speaker 1: would imagine she's pretty close. In walks, it's Mattie Sleven
38:46
Speaker 1: of Ferndale. She's walked nine times already this year. And
38:49
Speaker 1: people that you know that know baseball stats and softball
38:52
Speaker 1: stats and stuff like that, you know that when you
38:53
Speaker 1: get a walk, it doesn't count as an at bat.
38:56
Speaker 1: So that's one of the crazy things with her. She
38:58
Speaker 1: has eight at bats and nine walk So that's a
39:02
Speaker 1: pretty good eye right there. You know, batting left handed,
39:05
Speaker 1: not really getting a good pitch to hit. She saw
39:08
Speaker 1: a good pitch to hit against Friday Herber, I'll tell
39:09
Speaker 1: you that, and she hit it out of the park.
39:13
Speaker 1: And then being hit by a pitch. We talked about
39:15
Speaker 1: it earlier, Mason Polls. I mean seven times already getting
39:19
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch. That's a that's pretty high number.
39:22
Speaker 1: I mean that's what you might get in a season,
39:25
Speaker 1: and she's already done that in five games, so that's
39:27
Speaker 1: pretty incredible there. Let's look at the pitching stats. The
39:30
Speaker 1: only player right now with I might have to update that.
39:34
Speaker 1: Let's see here, yes, with five wins on the season. Sorry,
39:40
Speaker 1: let me I just got to update a thing here
39:42
Speaker 1: really quickly. Yeah, five wins already on the season at
39:46
Speaker 1: five and two. Record is Callie Rammerman of Linden. She
39:49
Speaker 1: had an incredible week, three dominant performances and that was
39:54
Speaker 1: you know, it ended with her pitching a no hitter
39:57
Speaker 1: against Seaholme. So very very good numbers there. Roxanne Lenning
40:01
Speaker 1: of Lenny Christian and Riley Mattingley of Meridian each have well,
40:07
Speaker 1: they each have two wins. But let me see. Oh,
40:08
Speaker 1: there's a couple players with three wins. I'm sorry, Charlie
40:11
Speaker 1: Baker of Blaine and Peyton Bartell Nuxac Valley. They're both
40:15
Speaker 1: three and one on the season, so I missed that.
40:17
Speaker 1: Charlotte Simon of Ferndale is two in one. So we
40:19
Speaker 1: got a handful of pitchers already with multiple wins on
40:22
Speaker 1: the season. Saves Mesa Pulse is the only player with
40:26
Speaker 1: a save that doesn't happen too much. In fast pitch,
40:29
Speaker 1: you'll see it every once in a while, depending on
40:31
Speaker 1: how close the game is and how many innings they
40:33
Speaker 1: pitch and all that stuff. In innings pitched, it's Callie
40:36
Speaker 1: Rammerman thirty eight and two thirds innings, so she's thrown
40:39
Speaker 1: a lot of innings already, putting up some good numbers.
40:42
Speaker 1: Roxanne Lenning, Riley Maddingley, and Sarah Kruzich all at twenty
40:45
Speaker 1: innings or more. And in strikeouts, no surprise here, Kllie
40:49
Speaker 1: Rammerman has struck out Are you ready for this? Seventy
40:53
Speaker 1: four batters already? She broke the school record last year.
40:57
Speaker 1: And for strikeouts in a season, I don't really I'm
41:00
Speaker 1: trying to kind of put in my head with the
41:02
Speaker 1: pace is that she's on right now, but it sounds
41:04
Speaker 1: like she'd be on the pace to break her own
41:06
Speaker 1: school record, which would be incredible. U. And then when
41:09
Speaker 1: you look at Erra, let's see here, yeah, in er
41:16
Speaker 1: right now, the leader is Sarah Kruzich at two point
41:21
Speaker 1: one zero. Now she's when she's been in the circle,
41:25
Speaker 1: there's been thirty two runs scored, but only six of
41:27
Speaker 1: them have been earned, so that means a lot of
41:30
Speaker 1: you know, misplayed balls in the field behind her. But
41:34
Speaker 1: she's a very very good picture. She's struck out forty
41:36
Speaker 1: batters in twenty innings and walked only sixteen. And she,
41:41
Speaker 1: like I said, a two point one zero era is
41:43
Speaker 1: the defense right now is just not helping her, which
41:48
Speaker 1: you know, kind of shows the numbers there with the
41:49
Speaker 1: six earned runs but the thirty two runs scored. So
41:52
Speaker 1: if those are these stat leaders, and we're going to
41:55
Speaker 1: talk about the player of the week, and of course
41:58
Speaker 1: the player of the Week is brought to you by
41:59
Speaker 1: the Walk Them Wolverine, so the walcome Wolverine Fast Pitch
42:02
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. I'm going with Callie Rammerman here,
42:06
Speaker 1: and she did good things offensively, but she did amazing
42:10
Speaker 1: things pitching three games this week. She went the distance
42:14
Speaker 1: and all of them, dominated in all of them, and
42:17
Speaker 1: like I said, in that final game, she pitched a
42:19
Speaker 1: no hitter. So I believe the game was just five innings,
42:22
Speaker 1: but still it's it's pretty impressive anytime you can get
42:26
Speaker 1: a no hitter. So congratulations to Callie Rammerman. She is
42:30
Speaker 1: the Welcome Wolverine Fast Pitch Player of the week, let's
42:35

Speaker 1: on the Walcome Preps podcast. We got some got We've
43:47
Speaker 1: got three teams that kind of shot towards the top
43:49
Speaker 1: this week. The top one is the Linden Christian Links.
43:52
Speaker 1: They are still undefeated on the season, four and oh
43:55
Speaker 1: in league play six and oh overall. I saw a
43:58
Speaker 1: couple of their games this week. Watch them play against
44:00
Speaker 1: Sea Home. That was a great, you know, battle of
44:03
Speaker 1: two really good teams. And then they played a nine
44:05
Speaker 1: inning thriller against Nukak Valley out at Nuksack High School.
44:09
Speaker 1: Was there for a little bit for that one. It
44:12
Speaker 1: was really cool to see that, you know, Eli Mabray
44:14
Speaker 1: and Evan Brown and the pitchers pitcher's duel U goes
44:17
Speaker 1: nine innings. I mean, it was it was. It was
44:20
Speaker 1: awesome because you kind of go into it going like, well, Elsie,
44:23
Speaker 1: should you know, take her of business here. But Evan
44:25
Speaker 1: Brown did everything he could. Maddie Blake pitched a great
44:28
Speaker 1: game two uh, coming in in relief from the catcher
44:31
Speaker 1: spot and uh, but you know, Elsie found a way
44:35
Speaker 1: to pull it off. Lindon. Linden's four and oh right
44:39
Speaker 1: now in league play, so they're you know, they had again,
44:42
Speaker 1: they kind of played a rough schedule earlier on and
44:45
Speaker 1: that's what they do. They like to schedule those tough games.
44:48
Speaker 1: And they're five and three overall, but four and oh
44:50
Speaker 1: in league play, which is huge for them. Ferndale two
44:53
Speaker 1: and one now in league play, those two wins, you know,
44:56
Speaker 1: coming this week with huge numbers averaging in those two
45:01
Speaker 1: games combined, man the average like eighteen runs a game
45:05
Speaker 1: or something like that. They're two and three overall, but hey,
45:07
Speaker 1: it's about the league record. And now they're two and one.
45:10
Speaker 1: They're shot up to third places when you count when
45:12
Speaker 1: you just talking about Walkam County teams. Seaholme had a
45:15
Speaker 1: rough week, but they're still five and three overall, but
45:18
Speaker 1: two and two now in league play after losing the
45:20
Speaker 1: Linen Christian and those Anacord of Seahawks are pretty darn
45:23
Speaker 1: good as well. Meridian is also two and two. There
45:26
Speaker 1: are three and three overall. Meridian Seaholme will be playing
45:30
Speaker 1: each other later on today, so that'll be a good game.
45:35
Speaker 1: That's always a really really good game. You see, Home
45:37
Speaker 1: Meridian is kind of like old school, you know, fundamentals baseball.
45:43
Speaker 1: I always loved watching that matchup, and I think that,
45:46
Speaker 1: you know, Steve Slash is, you know, the old Bellingham
45:49
Speaker 1: Red Raider in him. You know, he still has something
45:51
Speaker 1: to try to get those Sea Home Mariners, so you know,
45:54
Speaker 1: going going way back, so you know that that's gonna
45:58
Speaker 1: be a fun game. I'll probably find myself out there
46:00
Speaker 1: at that game. They got a logjam here at one
46:03
Speaker 1: and two in league, so you got Blaine, Nutsack Valley,
46:05
Speaker 1: and Squalkum all one and two in league play. Blaine
46:09
Speaker 1: is two and three overall, Knucksack Valley two and four overall,
46:12
Speaker 1: and Squalkum is two and five overall. So, uh again,
46:16
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot more separation once these teams
46:18
Speaker 1: start playing each other. Bellingham still looking for their first
46:21
Speaker 1: league win at zero to four, but they did snap
46:24
Speaker 1: their six game losing streak by beating Marysville Pilchuck over
46:28
Speaker 1: the weekend, so they're now two and six on the year.
46:30
Speaker 1: They won their first game of the year in a
46:32
Speaker 1: non league game against Lindon. They lose six in a
46:34
Speaker 1: row and they come back and win against Marysville Pilchuck.
46:38
Speaker 1: So now they are two and six on the year,
46:39
Speaker 1: and that's a team that, uh, you know, you can't
46:43
Speaker 1: look past. I mean, yeah, you got to get some
46:46
Speaker 1: wins and stuff and try to get a favorable spot
46:48
Speaker 1: in the district playoffs. But once they get there, who
46:50
Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen. As we saw last year, they
46:52
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. Mount Baker right now really struggling.
46:56
Speaker 1: You know, some of their top players have have been
46:59
Speaker 1: you know, you know, one was injured for a little bit,
47:01
Speaker 1: one still isn't available on four on the year and
47:05
Speaker 1: five overall owned four and conference play. Yeah, just just
47:11
Speaker 1: just getting by, you know. And I love my my Mountaineers,
47:16
Speaker 1: but it's been it's been tough right now. And and
47:19
Speaker 1: uh but boy, they they sure try hard. And I
47:22
Speaker 1: really appreciate that. Another thing I really appreciate is when
47:25
Speaker 1: we have a guest and we have a special guest
47:28
Speaker 1: on the line. We are now joined on the Gatorade
47:31
Speaker 1: Game Day Podcast by Sea Home Baseball coach Dane Siegfried. Coach,
47:36
Speaker 1: thank you for joining me today. How are you doing.
47:38
Speaker 2: I'm doing good.
47:39
Speaker 3: Tyler, Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
47:41
Speaker 1: You bet, who's your favorite baseball player of all time?
47:45
Speaker 2: No question? Ken Grif.
47:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no hesitation, And he's that's my childhood hero.
47:51
Speaker 2: And yeah he's that's the man right there.
47:55
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, how many times did you get to
47:59
Speaker 1: see him in the King.
48:01
Speaker 2: Man?
48:03
Speaker 3: You know, my dad used to take us down when
48:05
Speaker 3: we were kids in the mid to late nineties, you know,
48:11
Speaker 3: between ten and twenty times a year. I remember one
48:14
Speaker 3: year we went twenty times, and so yeah, that was
48:17
Speaker 3: like ninety six. So like Randy Johnson, Yeah, Edgar Buhner,
48:21
Speaker 3: Griffy and like we'd go watch the games and then
48:24
Speaker 3: come home and like impersonate every batting stance in the
48:29
Speaker 3: yard and just like every other kid, and like, you know,
48:32
Speaker 3: we get Joey Korra and e Rod and like, yeah,
48:36
Speaker 3: I remember not only the stances, but like the facial
48:39
Speaker 3: expressions they'd make, like yeah, yeah, so yeah, gotta be
48:45
Speaker 3: Griffy and uh yeah. Mid to late nineties Mariners baseball
48:49
Speaker 3: is what I grew up on.
48:50
Speaker 1: Oh man, what a magical time, you know, the first
48:53
Speaker 1: time and this is crazy because I'm a bit older
48:56
Speaker 1: than you, but the first time I saw a Mariner's
48:59
Speaker 1: game live was actually ninety six, and and so, uh
49:05
Speaker 1: it was I want to say it was kind of
49:08
Speaker 1: late in the year, like September ninety six and they
49:10
Speaker 1: were playing the Rangers. I remember Dan Wilson hit a
49:13
Speaker 1: home run to center field and Doug Davis I think
49:18
Speaker 1: was pitching for Texas. And but I'll always remember that.
49:21
Speaker 1: You know, it's like that first time, you know, you
49:23
Speaker 1: walk in there and it's and it's uh, it's everyone
49:27
Speaker 1: else says it's a it's a piece of junk, the Kingdome,
49:29
Speaker 1: but you but you see what you see on TV
49:31
Speaker 1: and it's magical, you know, it's it was amazing.
49:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that was that was a high octane
49:38
Speaker 3: offense and you just help help hoped that Bobby Ayola
49:42
Speaker 3: could hold on and he usually couldn't, and right that
49:45
Speaker 3: was our team. But yeah, I know it's cool, Like
49:48
Speaker 3: I have this, uh, this vivid memory of going to
49:52
Speaker 3: a playoff game at the Kingdome in nineteen ninety seven.
49:55
Speaker 3: Was my older brother and my dad and and you know,
50:00
Speaker 3: we didn't get to do that for another what was
50:03
Speaker 3: it twenty almost twenty years and I got to go
50:06
Speaker 3: to the seventeen inning game with my dad again, you
50:10
Speaker 3: know that we lost, but also got to go to
50:15
Speaker 3: the Suarez Grand Slam game last year.
50:18
Speaker 1: Nice.
50:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I don't know, baseball and family go hand
50:22
Speaker 3: in hand, and but yeah, pretty pretty cool memories there.
50:27
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Well, it's the greatest game ever invented. And I
50:30
Speaker 1: think we both believe that. You're in your sixth year
50:34
Speaker 1: now as the head coach. It's been flying by. What's
50:37
Speaker 1: been the biggest difference from year one to now for you? Man?
50:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like when I first took over for MONI, you know,
50:46
Speaker 3: we were just coming out of COVID, so it was
50:51
Speaker 3: just an interesting time I think, to be a baseball
50:54
Speaker 3: player and a baseball coach too. And so one thing,
50:59
Speaker 3: you know, over the last five years that I've been
51:04
Speaker 3: able to run the program is just our numbers are
51:08
Speaker 3: back to like just a really healthy place in our program.
51:13
Speaker 3: And I think that's probably what I'm most proud of,
51:15
Speaker 3: is just like excitement about baseball on the south side
51:18
Speaker 3: of town and just in Bellingham in general, Like the
51:20
Speaker 3: amount of things going on in town, the amount of
51:22
Speaker 3: opportunities that kids have to play the game, and that
51:25
Speaker 3: we have as coaches to grow the sport is probably
51:28
Speaker 3: the coolest thing that I've seen. You know, there were
51:31
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago we had we had eighteen
51:33
Speaker 3: kids come out, and like we were grinding that year
51:37
Speaker 3: to just compete, and we competed, and our JV team,
51:42
Speaker 3: led by Murray Twait, actually finished the year with a
51:46
Speaker 3: seven and three record with nine.
51:48
Speaker 2: Players, and I thought that was incredible.
51:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, we had forty eight kids come
51:55
Speaker 3: out last year, and.
51:57
Speaker 2: I think we had forty two show up on day
52:00
Speaker 2: one this year.
52:01
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that's been the biggest the biggest
52:04
Speaker 3: change since I've taken over. But but yeah, we have
52:08
Speaker 3: an exciting club this year and excited about where we're
52:11
Speaker 3: going to.
52:12
Speaker 1: Absolutely Obviously you played for the legendary coach Gary Hatch.
52:17
Speaker 1: Can you put into words what makes him such a wonderful.
52:20
Speaker 3: Coach, phenomenal leader. Yeah, just an amazing motivator and really
52:34
Speaker 3: hard worker. Like the attention to detail piece for him
52:38
Speaker 3: is is off the charts. Just the amount of time
52:42
Speaker 3: he's spent trying to make us better as players, I
52:45
Speaker 3: think is one thing that stood out to me and
52:49
Speaker 3: and you know, and anyone I talked to about it.
52:52
Speaker 3: We have this shared experience playing that in this program,
52:55
Speaker 3: that that it's something that you know, you just you
52:58
Speaker 3: hold close to your heart because it meant a lot
53:01
Speaker 3: to all of us, and you know that that guy
53:04
Speaker 3: is one of a kind. And so you know, I
53:08
Speaker 3: have gotten to coach this game for seventeen years now,
53:13
Speaker 3: and I started coaching as soon as I graduated high school.
53:16
Speaker 3: But I've been to Colorado and back and gotten to coach.
53:20
Speaker 2: With some really amazing people.
53:24
Speaker 3: You know, some of them are doing like big big
53:27
Speaker 3: things in the college game, and some of them are
53:28
Speaker 3: in the big leagues and.
53:32
Speaker 2: You know, everywhere in between. But there's no one like
53:35
Speaker 2: that guy.
53:36
Speaker 3: And I think that anyone who's spent some time around
53:40
Speaker 3: him can agree. And so yeah, I just be really
53:42
Speaker 3: fortunate to have played in the program and also had
53:45
Speaker 3: a lot of success as a player, yeah, or as
53:49
Speaker 3: a team Yeah yeah.
53:51
Speaker 1: I mean, well you're right about as a player too.
53:53
Speaker 1: I mean, but you're right. Your sophomore year, you know,
53:57
Speaker 1: that was a very senior heavy team that wins the
53:59
Speaker 1: state chainampionship. You play a little bit your junior year,
54:02
Speaker 1: you play a lot more back to back state championships
54:06
Speaker 1: on that. What do you what do you remember the
54:08
Speaker 1: most about those seasons.
54:10
Speaker 3: Man, nice research by the way, Uh getting started, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
54:17
Speaker 3: So the seven team was loaded. We had seven seniors
54:23
Speaker 3: that year. Uh, they could all play. And you know
54:27
Speaker 3: Kai Hatch, he's a you know, all American. At Utah Valley.
54:30
Speaker 3: We have Jordan Chambers is ninety one and ninety two
54:33
Speaker 3: with a wipeout slider. He had one hundred and thirty
54:35
Speaker 3: eight strikeouts that season. You know, like that's a ridiculous number.
54:42
Speaker 3: You know, Taylor's kang Lower Columbia, you know, three hole
54:45
Speaker 3: Allen Kennedy, first team All State. He went four for
54:48
Speaker 3: four off Jake Locker, who's throwing ninety five. Like, the
54:51
Speaker 3: guys on this team were really, really good, and the
54:56
Speaker 3: expectation was to win a state title, and you know
55:01
Speaker 3: that team went out and did it. I just felt
55:03
Speaker 3: lucky to be, you know, keeping a chart on the
55:04
Speaker 3: bench match like seriously, I was honored to be in
55:09
Speaker 3: the dugout. The next year, you know, we graduated all
55:14
Speaker 3: those guys and basically ran out there with our JV
55:16
Speaker 3: team from the year prior, and we had no idea
55:19
Speaker 3: how good we were going to be. And we went
55:21
Speaker 3: down to Sila and split with them and it was.
55:24
Speaker 3: I think that was kind of like, you know, the
55:27
Speaker 3: first time, we were like, all right, we can hang
55:28
Speaker 3: like we're we're gonna be pretty tough, I think. And yeah,
55:33
Speaker 3: we just pieced it together with with the guys we had,
55:36
Speaker 3: and and we were we were pretty darn good, Like
55:40
Speaker 3: we won the league. But I don't even know if
55:43
Speaker 3: we knew how good we were until we got to
55:45
Speaker 3: that state tournament and we got hot. We went down
55:49
Speaker 3: against Archbishop Murphy seven to nothing early in that game,
55:54
Speaker 3: and in the second we scored eight and took the
55:59
Speaker 3: lead and we ended up winning seventeen to seven in
56:02
Speaker 3: the quarter final. We scored twenty one runs in the
56:05
Speaker 3: semi final, and then we won eight one in the championship.
56:09
Speaker 2: So we just got hot.
56:10
Speaker 3: We got really hot, but we were we were tough,
56:13
Speaker 3: but we got hot.
56:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, the right. So what kind of I mean you say,
56:18
Speaker 1: like we went in there with our JV team, you know,
56:21
Speaker 1: from the year before, and it went well, how was
56:24
Speaker 1: that JB team the year before? Were you guys pretty successful?
56:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were tough. You know, they have the mal
56:31
Speaker 3: Walton Tournament at the end of the year. I remember
56:37
Speaker 3: we won that back to back years and you know,
56:40
Speaker 3: so we like we had success. I don't know. We
56:43
Speaker 3: a lot of those guys we played all together growing
56:46
Speaker 3: up as kids, and we were.
56:47
Speaker 2: Good, not great.
56:48
Speaker 3: You know, we never won a state tournament or anything.
56:51
Speaker 3: And we won a handful of tournaments maybe, but there
56:55
Speaker 3: was always someone you know better, and uh but yeah,
56:59
Speaker 3: we we had a good JV club, you know, those
57:02
Speaker 3: few years with with money, and I think the biggest
57:05
Speaker 3: thing is that that coach Hatch and those coaches just
57:08
Speaker 3: had us ready and we were just kind of waiting
57:12
Speaker 3: in the wings until it was our time.
57:13
Speaker 2: And then it was it was go mode.
57:16
Speaker 3: And you know, Derek Andy had a big, big game
57:20
Speaker 3: in the state championship.
57:21
Speaker 2: He almost hit for the cycle.
57:25
Speaker 3: You know, Connor Long first team All State, Jared Barrat
57:27
Speaker 3: first team All State. You know West Julius played a
57:31
Speaker 3: good short stop. Anthony Pitch was our third baseman and
57:35
Speaker 3: you know he was an all state player and he
57:37
Speaker 3: was a freshman that year.
57:38
Speaker 2: Ryan Williams was really good behind the plate.
57:40
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean any guy a name on that
57:44
Speaker 3: team is like, yeah, good baseball player, but just yeah,
57:47
Speaker 3: it didn't have a chance to play varsity baseball till
57:49
Speaker 3: maybe they were a junior or senior. So yeah, it was.
57:52
Speaker 3: It was a fun ride for sure.
57:54
Speaker 1: Your senior year, you hit six home runs that season.
57:58
Speaker 1: One of them was pretty memorable. Uh, in a winner
58:01
Speaker 1: to state game against Anna Chordis in the two A
58:03
Speaker 1: district tournament. You want to tell everybody what happened in
58:05
Speaker 1: that game.
58:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's funny, you know, not in an arrogant way.
58:13
Speaker 2: But I actually hit seven that year.
58:15
Speaker 1: Oh okay.
58:16
Speaker 2: One of them got.
58:17
Speaker 3: Called back on a bock, so you can blame like
58:22
Speaker 3: maybe Ted for that or less. I don't remember who
58:27
Speaker 3: it was, but it was a good call. So yeah,
58:30
Speaker 3: but no, that that day Anna Chordis, uh, probably the
58:34
Speaker 3: highlight of my athletic career. Yeah, I mean we were
58:38
Speaker 3: coming off back to back state titles and uh yeah,
58:43
Speaker 3: winner to state, loser out and I hit a homer
58:49
Speaker 3: to take the lead one zero. Really good game. John
58:54
Speaker 3: Albert threw for us. A kid by the name of
58:58
Speaker 3: Corey Campbell hits it to run homer in the fifth.
59:04
Speaker 3: They go up to to one and I come up.
59:09
Speaker 3: I think it was my third at bat. I come
59:11
Speaker 3: up and hit another homer to tie it too. The
59:16
Speaker 3: game goes to extras and and we had tried to
59:24
Speaker 3: score earlier in the game to win it and got
59:28
Speaker 3: hosed at the plate, and so yeah, it's extra innings
59:33
Speaker 3: and bases loaded, and yeah they I got a fastball
59:41
Speaker 3: and you know, I was way out front actually, and
59:45
Speaker 3: I still I don't know how.
59:48
Speaker 2: I still don't know how I hit.
59:50
Speaker 3: That one out because I felt like the swing was
59:51
Speaker 3: actually not good at all, but for whatever reason that day,
59:55
Speaker 3: the ball was just.
59:58
Speaker 2: Leaving the yard.
59:59
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was it was a walk off grand
1:00:01
Speaker 3: Slam to go to state. And again like yeah, just yeah,
1:00:05
Speaker 3: overwhelmed by the moment honestly at the time, like as a.
1:00:08
Speaker 2: High schooler, just.
1:00:10
Speaker 3: You know, meant meant a lot to me and our
1:00:14
Speaker 3: program and you know, we're we're trying to get back
1:00:16
Speaker 3: to state. You know, we're defending state championships like we
1:00:20
Speaker 3: for our seniors is like.
1:00:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we got to get to state.
1:00:22
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, really cool moment for for me there,
1:00:26
Speaker 3: And yeah, thanks for thanks for bringing it up.
1:00:29
Speaker 1: You bet you talked about, you know, coaching a lot
1:00:32
Speaker 1: since you graduated high school. One of your stops is
1:00:35
Speaker 1: with the Bellingham Bells. What was that experience, Like.
1:00:39
Speaker 3: Oh awesome, yeah, awesome, I am super grateful for my
1:00:45
Speaker 3: time with the Bells. They just, man, they do such
1:00:49
Speaker 3: a good job. Stephanie Morell does such a good job.
1:00:51
Speaker 3: And Nick Caples before her, and Eddie Paplowski and and
1:00:56
Speaker 3: now Glenn and and coach clem and just coach. Has
1:00:59
Speaker 3: any anyone anyone who's you know, had had hands on
1:01:05
Speaker 3: on that organization over the over the last you know,
1:01:08
Speaker 3: however many years. It just does such a good job
1:01:11
Speaker 3: with it. So yeah, my time with the.
1:01:12
Speaker 2: Bells was just really really special.
1:01:17
Speaker 3: Spent three years as a coach with Mike Gangie and
1:01:22
Speaker 3: Jake Whistler and Jeff James and and and coach clemb
1:01:26
Speaker 3: as well, and so yeah, my my role was I
1:01:30
Speaker 3: was an assistant with them, and my first year we
1:01:35
Speaker 3: won the West Coast League in twenty fourteen, and that
1:01:38
Speaker 3: was a really special group.
1:01:40
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was the first time I'd been like
1:01:42
Speaker 2: exposed to really like elite.
1:01:45
Speaker 3: College baseball and high end Division one baseball where you know,
1:01:50
Speaker 3: I don't know, ten ten percent of our roster is
1:01:53
Speaker 3: getting drafted, maybe fifteen percent of our roster is getting drafted.
1:01:55
Speaker 3: And yeah, I really opened my eyes, opened my eyes
1:01:58
Speaker 3: to the game, and you know what's out there and
1:02:03
Speaker 3: you know, maybe really want to pursue it at a
1:02:05
Speaker 3: higher level. And I'm actually I'm gonna be helping them
1:02:11
Speaker 3: out again a little bit this summer. I'm covering for
1:02:14
Speaker 3: another coach for the first ten days, so I get
1:02:16
Speaker 3: to be back in the dugout with coach claimbing those
1:02:19
Speaker 3: guys just just for like a week and a half.
1:02:21
Speaker 2: So really excited about that.
1:02:24
Speaker 3: Once, you know, once spring ball ends, and hopefully the
1:02:28
Speaker 3: timing works out. But if we're you know, if we
1:02:31
Speaker 3: crack the final four, then then plans could change.
1:02:34
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I want to talk about
1:02:37
Speaker 1: this year's team a little bit. You've already played eight
1:02:40
Speaker 1: games on the season, which is quite a bit and
1:02:43
Speaker 1: when you look at some other teams have played maybe
1:02:45
Speaker 1: four or five, so you've got a lot of games.
1:02:47
Speaker 1: And what if you like so far about the squad.
1:02:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, one thing I like about what we're doing right
1:02:54
Speaker 3: now is we are competing in every inning of every
1:02:59
Speaker 3: game and uh, you know, even the even the games
1:03:03
Speaker 3: that we had lost, I think our guys are just
1:03:07
Speaker 3: competing really hard, and so I think the buy in
1:03:11
Speaker 3: in what we're doing is there. Uh, you know, we
1:03:14
Speaker 3: had kind of a fast start. We started out four
1:03:17
Speaker 3: and oh and so yeah, that it was.
1:03:21
Speaker 2: It was an exciting start for us.
1:03:22
Speaker 3: And you know, last week we dropped a couple of games,
1:03:27
Speaker 3: and yeah, we're just got We're working hard every day
1:03:30
Speaker 3: just to get better. And uh, it's it's a really
1:03:33
Speaker 3: fun group. They're pretty tight knit.
1:03:36
Speaker 2: We're you know, right now, we're.
1:03:39
Speaker 3: Five five sophomore starters, freshman who's who's been mixing in
1:03:45
Speaker 3: and getting quite a bit of playing time.
1:03:46
Speaker 2: And then.
1:03:49
Speaker 3: You know three three seniors who are are kind of
1:03:52
Speaker 3: hard nos football football type guys.
1:03:54
Speaker 2: And uh, it's it's just a really fun blend.
1:03:57
Speaker 3: So yeah, I like our club a lot.
1:04:00
Speaker 1: When I know, I go to a lot of games
1:04:02
Speaker 1: and I try to pick up on little things. And
1:04:04
Speaker 1: one thing that is a constant with Seahome Baseball. Your
1:04:08
Speaker 1: team's on defense, the opponent hits a ground ball in
1:04:10
Speaker 1: the infield, and I hear sit down, play catch. Where'd
1:04:14
Speaker 1: that come from?
1:04:16
Speaker 3: That was a coach hatch deal. He picked that up
1:04:20
Speaker 3: from Mike Archer at Sila.
1:04:22
Speaker 1: Okay, I believe.
1:04:23
Speaker 2: I believe that was an Archer thing.
1:04:26
Speaker 3: So if you watch a Sela baseball game, you'll hear
1:04:28
Speaker 3: the same thing. And I think it's just it's it's
1:04:35
Speaker 3: for us. It's just communicating to your your teammates that like, hey,
1:04:39
Speaker 3: I'm with you. You know, hold onto the rope is
1:04:41
Speaker 3: a phrase that we like to use, and so it's like, hey,
1:04:44
Speaker 3: I can't feel this ball myself, but I can be
1:04:46
Speaker 3: with you when you're you know, in the trenches trying
1:04:48
Speaker 3: to make the play.
1:04:49
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what that's about for us.
1:04:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first thing I thought of when I heard
1:04:54
Speaker 1: it was, you know, I mean I get it, you know,
1:04:56
Speaker 1: you sit down, GeTe get in front of the ball.
1:04:58
Speaker 1: But I think the play catch thing is so important
1:05:00
Speaker 1: because how many I mean, you see it all the
1:05:03
Speaker 1: time in high school baseball with throwing airs and stuff
1:05:05
Speaker 1: like that, but when they're in the pregame and they're
1:05:07
Speaker 1: playing catch, there's no throwing airs. So I think if
1:05:10
Speaker 1: the mental side of it, if you're saying just play catch,
1:05:13
Speaker 1: that helps a fifteen and sixteen year old kid to
1:05:16
Speaker 1: just throw the ball like you're playing catch. And it's
1:05:19
Speaker 1: just it's something that I love because every time I
1:05:22
Speaker 1: hear it, I just kind of smile and go and
1:05:24
Speaker 1: then and then and then and then they do like
1:05:26
Speaker 1: they just they just did what you just said, And
1:05:28
Speaker 1: it's just it's one of those cool things. And you
1:05:30
Speaker 1: know how how baseball so much of it is mental, right,
1:05:34
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's just doing the repetition and infield
1:05:38
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. You also have a
1:05:40
Speaker 1: lot of guys on your team that can pitch. How
1:05:43
Speaker 1: important is it to have a half dozen guys on
1:05:45
Speaker 1: your roster that can pitch and throw strikes?
1:05:49
Speaker 2: Well, it's been it's been awesome, Tyler.
1:05:52
Speaker 1: You know.
1:05:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also kind of hard because we have a
1:05:57
Speaker 3: bunch of different guys who can do it. So, you know,
1:05:59
Speaker 3: it's it's a little more pressure on us as you know,
1:06:03
Speaker 3: as coaching.
1:06:04
Speaker 2: Staff to figure out, okay, like.
1:06:06
Speaker 3: Who are our guys you know, this week, and how
1:06:09
Speaker 3: do we line them up for which teams based on
1:06:12
Speaker 3: this Scatterery report and kind of what we're looking at
1:06:15
Speaker 3: that week.
1:06:15
Speaker 2: But yeah, we have.
1:06:17
Speaker 3: We probably go honestly, like nine or ten deep as
1:06:22
Speaker 3: far as competitive strike throwers on our varsity club. And
1:06:28
Speaker 3: and and yeah, we're we're excited to get a couple
1:06:30
Speaker 3: guys back here who haven't.
1:06:31
Speaker 2: Been able to throw yet.
1:06:33
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think the biggest thing in high school
1:06:35
Speaker 3: baseball is being able to you know, mix pitches and
1:06:40
Speaker 3: land land off speed pitches for strikes. And if you
1:06:43
Speaker 3: can do that, you don't need to throw eighty five.
1:06:46
Speaker 3: You don't need to throw ninety plus. You just need
1:06:50
Speaker 3: to just keep guys off balance and try to miss barrels.
1:06:53
Speaker 2: And like, we.
1:06:54
Speaker 3: Don't always do that, but we feel like we have
1:06:57
Speaker 3: a pretty good chance if we, you know, have a
1:06:59
Speaker 3: few guys who can do that. So yeah, our our
1:07:02
Speaker 3: pitchers have have impressed me so far just this season,
1:07:07
Speaker 3: and we're we're not necessarily having to rely on like
1:07:11
Speaker 3: one horse. I know, like McGrath had a huge finish
1:07:14
Speaker 3: last year at his season and had a great career
1:07:16
Speaker 3: with us, and like Gilly before that had a great career.
1:07:20
Speaker 3: But right now, yeah, we're like we're trying to figure
1:07:23
Speaker 3: out our identity a little bit still on the mound,
1:07:26
Speaker 3: and I think once we do that, we're gonna be
1:07:29
Speaker 3: that much tougher just because.
1:07:31
Speaker 2: We have a bunch of guys who can do it.
1:07:32
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, it's it's an exciting time for for us.
1:07:36
Speaker 2: And and yeah.
1:07:38
Speaker 1: Yeah it's it's it's pretty fun to watch a couple
1:07:42
Speaker 1: of seniors that I want to spotlight a little bit
1:07:44
Speaker 1: Huts and Nef Gunner tweet. I mean they were starting
1:07:47
Speaker 1: since they were freshmen. Now being seniors, Uh what what
1:07:52
Speaker 1: has made them a big part of Sea Home Baseball?
1:07:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've been through it, Like we had
1:08:00
Speaker 3: a couple down years, their first couple of years, and
1:08:03
Speaker 3: like those guys started for us, and I think just
1:08:07
Speaker 3: to watch like the arc of where our program's gone
1:08:09
Speaker 3: now and.
1:08:12
Speaker 2: Those guys are a huge part of it.
1:08:13
Speaker 3: Those are two captains, you know, they're they're the guys
1:08:15
Speaker 3: who have been you know, they've played sixty to seventy
1:08:20
Speaker 3: games for us, and by the time they're done, it's
1:08:23
Speaker 3: going to be closer to one hundred and and that's
1:08:26
Speaker 3: pretty cool.
1:08:26
Speaker 2: So for those guys, they've come a long way too.
1:08:29
Speaker 3: Like when they were freshmen, they were not like physical guys,
1:08:33
Speaker 3: Like they were both undersized guys, like Gunner tweight weighed
1:08:36
Speaker 3: less than one hundred pounds, you know when he played
1:08:38
Speaker 3: for US, and like he got hits and like he
1:08:40
Speaker 3: was tough in there. And and now you look at
1:08:43
Speaker 3: him and he's you know, he's taller than me, and
1:08:44
Speaker 3: he's you know, he's probably six' one pushing six, two
1:08:50
Speaker 3: and like he's a future college baseball.
1:08:52
Speaker 2: Player so.
1:08:54
Speaker 3: And then, YEAH i can't say enough about About hodey
1:08:58
Speaker 3: and just you know his. Accolae it's like you, know
1:09:02
Speaker 3: football of, course like super super fun to watch on
1:09:05
Speaker 3: the football, field but he's really fun to watch on
1:09:07
Speaker 3: the baseball field.
1:09:08
Speaker 2: Too he that guy can run down a fly.
1:09:11
Speaker 3: Ball Man, like we Played Seattle academy last, weekend AND
1:09:16
Speaker 3: i don't know if you've heard the Name Eli, hurst
1:09:17
Speaker 3: but he's the number one prospect In washington and he's six,
1:09:20
Speaker 3: five two twenty and he hit a ball to left
1:09:23
Speaker 3: center pretty good and it would have landed on the warning,
1:09:27
Speaker 3: track and how he ran it Down he probably WENT
1:09:31
Speaker 3: i don't, know one hundred plus feet to get it
1:09:35
Speaker 3: and made one of the best Plays i've ever seen
1:09:37
Speaker 3: at the high school level to make a diving catch
1:09:40
Speaker 3: to save the.
1:09:40
Speaker 2: Game. Too it's like he's the kind.
1:09:43
Speaker 3: Of guy that like want wants the big moment and
1:09:46
Speaker 3: and that was a huge win for us on the
1:09:49
Speaker 3: road in that.
1:09:49
Speaker 2: Tournament AND i can hopefully like just set the tone
1:09:53
Speaker 2: for us the rest of the. Year but, yeah to.
1:09:56
Speaker 3: Answer your, question, yeah we love all these, kids but,
1:10:00
Speaker 3: yeah that that senior, class especially.
1:10:03
Speaker 2: You, Know Tyson goodman, Too like he didn't come.
1:10:07
Speaker 3: Out his first couple of years and now he's out
1:10:09
Speaker 3: and great, teammate great, Kid.
1:10:13
Speaker 2: And, YEAH i MEAN i could go down the.
1:10:15
Speaker 3: List we have seven seniors this year and there it's
1:10:17
Speaker 3: a really great.
1:10:18
Speaker 2: Group, yeah when you.
1:10:20
Speaker 1: Look around the, league AND i know you're usually focused
1:10:23
Speaker 1: on two way based on you know what's going you,
1:10:25
Speaker 1: know go into districts and stuff like. That but when
1:10:28
Speaker 1: you look around the entire, league who stands out to?
1:10:30
Speaker 3: YOU i mean the immediate thought Is Mount, Vernon like
1:10:34
Speaker 3: what they did last year is so, impressive and, uh
1:10:38
Speaker 3: to do it at the THREE a level and had
1:10:40
Speaker 3: the season they had with all the attention and the
1:10:42
Speaker 3: media surrounding you, Know xavier and, yeah you just got
1:10:48
Speaker 3: to say, that like state.
1:10:50
Speaker 2: Champions awesome season For tony and those.
1:10:52
Speaker 3: Guys but, YEAH i.
1:10:56
Speaker 2: MEAN lc is.
1:10:57
Speaker 3: Good noah does a really good. Job noahro does a
1:11:00
Speaker 3: really good job AT. Lc those guys can, hit and,
1:11:05
Speaker 3: yeah we had a good game with them the other.
1:11:06
Speaker 3: Day you, know they they got us at. Home but
1:11:11
Speaker 3: that's a team THAT i think could contend for a
1:11:13
Speaker 3: ONE a state. Title you just never know in, Baseball
1:11:16
Speaker 3: like there's just you never know when you're gonna run
1:11:19
Speaker 3: into an elite. Arm and it's just there's so many
1:11:22
Speaker 3: variables in this game that that's what makes it so.
1:11:24
Speaker 3: Great but, yeah for like the ONE a and THREE,
1:11:27
Speaker 3: a like those those, teams BUT i think the TWO
1:11:30
Speaker 3: a is a it's kind of a, gauntlet like Like
1:11:33
Speaker 3: bellingham's not winning right, now but that TEAM i actually
1:11:35
Speaker 3: think could be. Anyone you, Know Ana chorus is tough,
1:11:41
Speaker 3: again they're deep and. Athletic you, Know linden's gonna be,
1:11:48
Speaker 3: TOUGH i think. Again and then once you get to
1:11:50
Speaker 3: the district, tournament, yeah you just never. Know With Archbishop,
1:11:54
Speaker 3: murphy like we ran into a couple of really good
1:11:58
Speaker 3: arms last year and had to see them twice in
1:12:00
Speaker 3: the district.
1:12:01
Speaker 2: Tournament and they got. Us so, yeah, yeah.
1:12:03
Speaker 3: Our conference is just really. Good like you go down
1:12:05
Speaker 3: the list and and it's just. Good it's good baseball
1:12:10
Speaker 3: and and, yeah the coaches and our conference will do
1:12:13
Speaker 3: a really good.
1:12:14
Speaker 2: Job.
1:12:15
Speaker 1: Yeah you, KNOW i was at that A christian game
1:12:17
Speaker 1: for a little bit and and you and you threw
1:12:20
Speaker 1: your left handed freshman out there who looked pretty, impressive
1:12:23
Speaker 1: AND i AND, i you, KNOW i hate bothering you
1:12:25
Speaker 1: during the. Game BUT i wanted to ask, that you,
1:12:28
Speaker 1: know is it was it BECAUSE elc has a handful
1:12:31
Speaker 1: of left handed. Bats is that any part of your connection?
1:12:35
Speaker 2: There, yeah a little.
1:12:37
Speaker 3: Bit, yeah he's also been just really impressive for, Us, like,
1:12:42
Speaker 3: yeah he threw in the, JAMBOREE i think he struck
1:12:44
Speaker 3: out the. Side, uh he had another outing and got the.
1:12:50
Speaker 3: Save we actually got the win Against Seattle academy and
1:12:52
Speaker 3: like you, know went right through the middle of their
1:12:54
Speaker 3: order and got outs and and has just been pretty
1:12:59
Speaker 3: darn good for. Us so, yeah we gave him a
1:13:02
Speaker 3: chance out, there and, yeah we like the matchup with
1:13:04
Speaker 3: the lefty lefty.
1:13:06
Speaker 2: Bats that they have there in their, lineup and he.
1:13:09
Speaker 3: Threw pretty well for, Us SO i think he's a
1:13:12
Speaker 3: guy who should be able to. Contribute but, yeah we
1:13:14
Speaker 3: wanted to throw him in the fire a little bit
1:13:16
Speaker 3: and back.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: It up With.
1:13:17
Speaker 3: Hotey and that's that's the nice part about having you,
1:13:22
Speaker 3: know nine eight or nine arms who can do, it
1:13:24
Speaker 3: is that that we're not necessarily wanting to tax our
1:13:28
Speaker 3: arms this time of the year BECAUSE i, think you,
1:13:31
Speaker 3: know you come into the district, tournament like you don't
1:13:34
Speaker 3: want guys with tired.
1:13:35
Speaker 2: Arms that can happen.
1:13:38
Speaker 3: A lot in high school, baseball just because the season
1:13:40
Speaker 3: is so, short and like you.
1:13:42
Speaker 2: Know if you're throwing.
1:13:45
Speaker 3: Extended pitch counts early In, march it can come back
1:13:48
Speaker 3: to bite you a little bit and In. May and you,
1:13:52
Speaker 3: know we've we've learned that.
1:13:53
Speaker 1: The hard way.
1:13:53
Speaker 2: Before so, YEAH i think just trying to get guys
1:13:57
Speaker 2: some run.
1:13:57
Speaker 3: Out there and and have have our guys thrown in
1:14:01
Speaker 3: the fire a little bit early before some of our
1:14:03
Speaker 3: other arms come back is kind of one thing we.
1:14:06
Speaker 4: Wanted so, yeah, Absolutely and he he looked like he
1:14:09
Speaker 4: had no, fear which you gotta love that he throws
1:14:12
Speaker 4: strikes and and like you said, earlier he's getting breaking
1:14:15
Speaker 4: balls over for strikes as. Well so that's that's a
1:14:18
Speaker 4: positive thing to see one player that was An All
1:14:20
Speaker 4: league selection last year for, you but hasn't been able
1:14:23
Speaker 4: to take in that bat. Yet Is Gunner anderson a
1:14:25
Speaker 4: major threat in the batter's box from the left. Side
1:14:28
Speaker 4: will he be able to get some at bats?
1:14:30
Speaker 2: Soon that's the. Hope.
1:14:32
Speaker 3: Yeah he's, just, yeah kind of battling back from a,
1:14:37
Speaker 3: injury and, man that kid is, uh he's a gamer
1:14:42
Speaker 3: and he wants, it and you, KNOW i talked to
1:14:44
Speaker 3: him about it the other.
1:14:45
Speaker 2: Day he said me on, coach, LIKE i took four days.
1:14:48
Speaker 3: Off you, KNOW i took four days off from the
1:14:50
Speaker 3: big from the end of last season to the beginning
1:14:54
Speaker 3: of this. Season you. Know so he's getting some kind
1:14:56
Speaker 3: of work in in the. Cages those those kids are you,
1:15:01
Speaker 3: know they work really hard in the offseason to to
1:15:06
Speaker 3: get ready for. It so, yeah you, hate you hate
1:15:08
Speaker 3: to see a kid miss any, time just because the
1:15:10
Speaker 3: season is so. SHORT a high school baseball season, is you,
1:15:13
Speaker 3: know twenty to twenty five. Games and, uh, yeah we're
1:15:16
Speaker 3: super excited to have him back in the. Lineup AND
1:15:18
Speaker 3: i think once that, happens you, know we're we're looking
1:15:22
Speaker 3: at a that much more of an offensive lineup for.
1:15:26
Speaker 3: Us and and, yeah he had a good year last,
1:15:30
Speaker 3: year AND i think that he's a kid who is
1:15:32
Speaker 3: going to be pretty.
1:15:33
Speaker 1: Good so, yeah, yeah IT'S i can't even. Imagine it's
1:15:37
Speaker 1: so funny Because i've seen a few of your games

1:15:45
Speaker 1: know big time left handed bat that hasn't even played.
1:15:48
Speaker 1: Yet i'm looking up and down your lineup just. Going my,

1:18:29
Speaker 1: look at the stat. Leaders, now we're gonna start off
1:18:30
Speaker 1: with the offensive leaders here and looking at batting. Average
1:18:35
Speaker 1: we got a couple of players From ferndale batting five
1:18:38
Speaker 1: seventy one on the. Season they're both eight for. Fourteen of,
1:18:41
Speaker 1: Course i'm talking About Carson brown And Trayson. Pizzaski those

1:19:00
Speaker 1: percentage And eli stamps no, surprise there is lucking eight.

1:19:08
Speaker 1: squawk him at home he had two home runs and one,
1:19:10
Speaker 1: inning one of them being a grand, Slam so he
1:19:13
Speaker 1: had two home runs and six RBIs in a single,
1:19:16
Speaker 1: inning which is. INCREDIBLE i talked a little bit about
1:19:20
Speaker 1: him in the last podcast about how he's probably the
1:19:23
Speaker 1: strongest baseball player in the, conference and, boy he's making
1:19:27
Speaker 1: me sound pretty good because now he's got three home
1:19:30
Speaker 1: runs on the year and just a just a, big
1:19:34
Speaker 1: strong dude over there at first, base and, uh you,
1:19:37
Speaker 1: know just imagine like you, know a right Handed Jim
1:19:42
Speaker 1: tomy or something like. That like he's he can really swing.
1:19:45
Speaker 1: It and it's a lot of a lot of fun to.
1:19:47
Speaker 1: See and take a look at on base percentage and
1:19:51
Speaker 1: it's those two guys From ferndale. Again they both have
1:19:54
Speaker 1: an on base percentage of six forty, seven so, yeah
1:19:57
Speaker 1: they're both eight for. Fourteen but they've gotten on in
1:20:00
Speaker 1: other ways as. Well Carson brown with a couple of
1:20:02
Speaker 1: walks and a hit by. Pitch Tracey pezaski has been
1:20:04
Speaker 1: walked three, times so so again getting on base sixty
1:20:08
Speaker 1: four point seven percent of the time for both those, Guys,
1:20:11
Speaker 1: uh pretty darn good numbers there and runs. Scored it's
1:20:16
Speaker 1: a couple of elis From Lennon. Christian how about That
1:20:19
Speaker 1: Eli maybury And Eli stamps if each scored eleven runs
1:20:22
Speaker 1: so far on the, season that leads the way in
1:20:25
Speaker 1: walking kind of Course Lyndon christian putting up some big.

Speaker 1: Shortstop Gordy. Bedlington, again no surprise there. Either he's had
1:20:50
Speaker 1: a he's had a really good. Week he's been coming on.
1:20:52
Speaker 1: Strong kind of started a little bit. Slow uh maybe
1:20:55
Speaker 1: still kind of got that basketball rust still with. HIM
1:20:59
Speaker 1: i MEAN i think he you, know he played a baseball.
1:21:02
Speaker 1: Game what was it like four days after his last
1:21:06
Speaker 1: basketball game or something like. THAT i mean it was
1:21:08
Speaker 1: a quick turnaround for. Him but he's leading the way
1:21:12
Speaker 1: with eleven hits so far on the. Season in, doubles
1:21:15
Speaker 1: it's Still Jad geiger Of. Seaholme he's got five. Doubles
1:21:18
Speaker 1: he only has two, singles so ahead of his seven,
1:21:21
Speaker 1: hits five of them are. Doubles that, is that is
1:21:24
Speaker 1: barreling up the ball and putting it in the gap
1:21:26
