  This is Squall Come Junior Marcus Nixon, and you're listening to the walkom Press
• 0:03
  podcast with Tyler and Roland roll Storm. Greetings and welcome into the Watcome Preps
• 0:25
  Podcast. This is episode two oh five, a preview of week nine.
• 0:29
  I'm Ryland Spencer along with me as always is Tyler Anderson of What Come Preps.
• 0:36
  Tyler, how are we doing no good? Did you forget my name?
• 0:40
  Or you just did dramatic pause there a little bit it was was for
• 0:43
  dramatics. I dipped my head and it was like, come boom up with
• 0:47
  some flair. Oh, that's awesome. Things are going great man. Playoff
• 0:51
  pictures starting to come into place and all that stuff, and it's a it's
• 0:55
  a fun time. Thank you to Marcus Nixon for the intro all of come
• 1:00
  well, offensive threat, a little bit of everything there for squal Coum.
• 1:07
  Yeah, I mean, well he's taken every single snap under well, not
• 1:10
  every single snap, you know, the backup has come in a little bit
• 1:12
  at the end of games. But yeah, he's a quarterback this year,
• 1:15
  you know, and that's uh, he's uh, he's he's thrived. I
• 1:19
  mean a lot of total offensive yards from him. You know, didn't Ben
• 1:23
  Peterson do a lot of the same thing, not a ton, but his
• 1:27
  senior year he ended up doing some wildcat stuff. But there was one game
• 1:33
  where he almost played the whole game at quarterback and he ended because he ended
• 1:38
  up throwing like he went he was like five for eight passing and and it
• 1:42
  was weird because going into that is going into his senior year, he was
• 1:46
  like something like he was less than thirty catches away from being the all time
• 1:51
  leading receiver in Walking County history. And and because he played a lot as
• 1:57
  even as a freshman, I mean he had like a he catches as a
• 2:00
  freshman and so uh so it was kind of like, oh, yeah,
• 2:04
  he's got this in the bag. And then the way that the season went,
• 2:07
  they needed him to do different things. He ended up playing a lot
• 2:09
  of quarterback and different things and wildcat stuff. And and he only and he
• 2:14
  only had like twenty four catches his senior year. But that's a guy that
• 2:16
  does not care, just wants to win, do whatever it takes to win.
• 2:22
  And he probably didn't even know he had no idea. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:24
  he he just cares. And then and then if anybody told him or
• 2:28
  if he's hearing about it now for the first time. He kind of went,
• 2:30
  well, whatever, you're right, yeah, exactly, And there's and
• 2:34
  it's yeah, there's a couple of guys that have over one hundred and sixty
• 2:38
  catches in a walking kind of history, Blair Bomber and Mitchell Mitchell Trip.
• 2:44
  So that's a that's a tough Uh, it's a tough thing to reach.
• 2:46
  But I think Andre Watson is looking at that and going like, yeah,
• 2:53
  so, I mean he's there, he's I think he's over. I think
• 2:57
  he's run one hundred and ten right now. Wow, close to it.
• 3:00
  So, I mean, you know, and he's got another year to go.
• 3:02
  Thank you to Kurt Mayberry Farm Kurk Mayberry Mary may Berry Farm. I'm
• 3:07
  just three two one yeah, Kurk Mayberryfarm dot com. Kurt Mayberry Farm is
• 3:15
  a fourth generation, family owned and operated berry farm committed to growing the highest
• 3:21
  quality berries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Good stuff there. Although,
• 3:28
  like I think I've said before, maybe like I eat those and I
• 3:30
  don't know if they come from Kurt Mayberry Farm, but if they do,
• 3:34
  then the ones that I get from them are good. Yeah, I don't
• 3:37
  know where they're coming from. I mean, maybe I need to look into
• 3:39
  my my berries a little closer. I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:45
  yeah, you know what I'm going to do. We have a team dinner
• 3:46
  on Thursday. Don't guarantee I'm getting some strawberries. I'm going to look.
• 3:50
  I'm want to see where they're from, and I'll report back that sick sounds
• 3:53
  like a good idea. I mean, I'm sure that I'm not getting strawberries
• 3:55
  from Kurt Mayberry Farm at this time of the year. I mean, I
• 3:58
  would think I'm not right. Yeah, they gotta be come from somewhere else.
• 4:02
  Yeah, I have no they preserve them or something. Yeah, who
• 4:05
  knows. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna look. I'm gonna look at the
• 4:08
  box. I'm gonna figure out where they're from. Nice and if it's and
• 4:11
  if they're not good this week and they're from Kurt Mayberry Farm, then somebody
• 4:14
  stuck them in because they're not because they grow the highest quality barriers. I'm
• 4:17
  looking at it right here. It says it on their website, and it
• 4:20
  doesn't say it on Wikipedia. Anyway, Tyler, We've got one, two,
• 4:25
  three, four, five, six seven total games three on Thursday four
• 4:29
  on Friday, We're getting to playoff time here, Tyler. And that makes
• 4:33
  me think that other sports are probably getting play off time. What's what's the
• 4:36
  deal with volleyball right now? Where are they at? Yeah, they're wrapping
• 4:40
  up. This is the final week of regular season play in the Northwest Conference
• 4:43
  and it's uh, you know, a few teams play a you know a
• 4:46
  little bit of non conference games of maybe a tournament here and there, but
• 4:49
  for the most part, a lot of the teams in Northwest Conference just just
• 4:53
  play each other once. Everyone plays each other one time, and uh,
• 4:57
  and it really starts to kind of break itself apart as the season goes along.
• 5:00
  And and uh, the one A district tournament will start on Saturday,
• 5:09
  the twenty eighth, so that's coming right up. And then uh, two
• 5:12
  A also will start on Saturday, and three A will start on the following
• 5:16
  Thursday, the fourth. The one A district tournament will be played at Meridian
• 5:20
  High School. The two A district tournament will start out with the with the
• 5:25
  high with the better seated team hosting each each each game, and same with
• 5:30
  three A. And then eventually I think the two as will like once you
• 5:33
  get deeper into it. They'll play them at Squalic from high school. Is
• 5:39
  why I want to get to the semis or something like yeah, yeah,
• 5:42
  right once they yeah, since they start breaking down. But everything for the
• 5:44
  one a will be played at Meridian has been the case for a few years
• 5:46
  now. And and uh, and I tell you, I mean I've seen
• 5:50
  every single Walking County volleyball team at least six times this year. Wow.
• 5:57
  Yeah, So it's I have learned so much. I've been having such a
• 6:00
  blast with it. And it's just awesome. I love it. And and
• 6:08
  uh, you know, there's been some players. There's been some injuries unfortunately,
• 6:11
  so some really key players, which has been tough. There's one injury
• 6:14
  to a player that she's a high flyer, probably the best athlete in Walking
• 6:16
  County. And then because of the injury, she had to play Liberro.
• 6:20
  So she's you know, so she put on the other jersey and she's awesome
• 6:25
  at it. Like I'm like, holy cow. Like these kids, they're
• 6:28
  so talented. And and who's the tender in the county. There's a couple
• 6:32
  of girls that Lynn and Christian. There are six three Tyler. We need
• 6:35
  to get a picture of them next to you, just like we did with
• 6:39
  Dane Gatterman. You can stand on a volleyball. You can stand on a
• 6:43
  volleyball. Oh that's a that's a great idea. Yeah, Ashley Shoemate and
• 6:47
  Ryan's Ryan Stephan. Those two girls are both six foot three, Tyler.
• 6:51
  If they and they're on the same team, Yeah, a couple of twin
• 6:56
  towers if you if they stand on either side of you and you put your
• 7:00
  hand on their shoulder to prop yourself up, you know what I mean,
• 7:03
  And then you could stand on the volleyball right in the middle. You're still
• 7:05
  probably not as tall as that. Oh no, I'm not. I'm definitely
• 7:09
  not. That's that's a great and that's what's cool about Like the Linden team
• 7:13
  is probably their two best players, and Linden is loaded by the way they
• 7:16
  are er, they're undefeated in conference play. They're always really good, right,
• 7:20
  Yes, they are very good. And Burlington's always very good. And
• 7:23
  I was at the Linden Burlington match, which was highly anticipated that Jake Jake
• 7:28
  Mayberry Gymnasium was jam packed. It was awesome. There was hundreds of people
• 7:32
  there and I was sitting there taking pictures in the corner with Nate Schumach and
• 7:36
  Michael Kanaan who's taking pictures for VNN, and and we're just watching this awesome
• 7:42
  match and and Linham got him three three matches in a row. And they
• 7:46
  haven't lost or three sets, i should say, And they haven't lost a
• 7:48
  set in Northwest Conference play, so they are holy crap. Yeah, a
• 7:53
  couple of years ago they were like, they were very sophomore heavy, and
• 7:57
  you kind of saw this coming, you know, and they're just they're just
• 8:00
  doing it. And probably their two best players, Ashley Shoemate and Maya vander
• 8:05
  Yacht. Are you know. Astulely is six foot three and Maya is five
• 8:07
  to two, and she's just like this defensive Yeah, like just beast Like
• 8:13
  the way she dies after dives after volleyballs, it's I don't even know.
• 8:18
  I don't even know how to explain how she does it, Like it's unbelievable.
• 8:22
  They're both gonna go off and play in college. I think Hayley Kochi,
• 8:24
  who's also senior on the team, She's gonna go off and play in
• 8:26
  college. Grace Rice is an amazing setter. She's probably gonna, I mean,
• 8:31
  they're just loaded and They are a lot of fun to watch. They've
• 8:35
  been playing together for a long time. And uh, but it is cool
• 8:39
  to see Ashley and Maya like talk to each other on the court because they're
• 8:41
  you know, they're thirteen inches apart, and uh, yeah, it's just
• 8:46
  it's a lot of fun. Man. Well you think it's cool because you're
• 8:48
  used to it. Yeah, you know, I look up to all these
• 8:52
  girls, you know, they're all heroes to me. What about Uh And
• 8:56
  I'm kind of throwing it on a spoty here, tired, But what worse
• 9:00
  soccer? Do we know? Like, I don't know, I'm not I
• 9:03
  have I know that I think there's been some playoffs stuff kind of already started,
• 9:07
  okay, because I've been hearing kind of like rumblings about it. I
• 9:11
  haven't been out to a soccer match all year, but I think I think
• 9:16
  I overheard that district championships are on Halloween, which is upcoming Tuesday. So
• 9:22
  I think things are already kind of starting to happen. And the playoffs for
• 9:26
  girls soccer not gonna lie. That's a that's a tough one. Like do
• 9:30
  I go to my soccer match or do I go get some free candy?
• 9:33
  I mean, yeah, yeah, it's it's and that's also the same day,
• 9:37
  as you know, there's gonna be district uh volleyball in two A and
• 9:43
  one A, and that's gonna be a busy night, you know. Yeah,
• 9:48
  it's there's gonna be a eighth grade football game. I might want to
• 9:50
  attend. You're gonna dress up as something and go to something. I do
• 9:58
  have a costume this year. I am beach Ken, rollerblader Ken, Rollerblading
• 10:07
  Ken. Do you have a fanny pack the Barbie movie? Uh no,
• 10:11
  there's no fanny from the I have like the knee pads and bro that's awesome
• 10:18
  and the whole colorful get up. And I'm not gonna lie. I got
• 10:20
  the costume the other day and I looked at it and I was like,
• 10:26
  I mean I would wear this like just normal, like you know, like
• 10:30
  this is not past that much past. You know what I do? You
• 10:35
  have a were like a blonde I have a blonde. I have a blonde
• 10:37
  wig. Oh my goodness. Yeah, well this is going to be on
• 10:41
  It'll be on Instagram at some point like some oh yeah this yeah yeah,
• 10:45
  so that is unbelievable. Yeah, well, hey, we got like I
• 10:48
  said, three games on Thursday. Four on Friday, we've got the Randy
• 10:52
  small weather forecast. We've got the Pickum's with a speaking of long blonde,
• 10:58
  we've got a long blonde Pickham guest. Yeah, dirty blonde, but blonde.
• 11:05
  And we also have and he's a Barbie fan too, because when he
• 11:09
  went up to that in high school, the music would play the I'm a
• 11:13
  Barbie girl. Oh yeah, it was fantastic. But we'll talk about that
• 11:18
  a little bit. Yeah, let's start off on Thursday. The let's see
• 11:24
  here, Oh, Tyler, I assume blue means Coach Wood. Yeah,
• 11:26
  yes, okay, so Coach Wood he's going to be down there at Tom
• 11:31
  Mullen Memorial Stadium in Cedraw Woollie as the Squalum Storm three and five in uh
• 11:35
  or excuse me, three and five overall, one and five in Northwest Conference
• 11:39
  play. They're headed to town to Seedrow Wolie to take on the Cubs,
• 11:41
  who are five and three, three and three in Northwest Conference play seven pm
• 11:46
  at Tom Tom Mullen Memorial Stadium. That's a tougher one to say than I
• 11:50
  thought. Yeah, Coach Woods is going to be there. But Tyler,
• 11:54
  when you look at Squalicum Cedrow Wollie, what do you see here, Well,
• 11:58
  two teams will want to run the ball, so you know, coach
• 12:01
  better get there early or he might miss you know, first half. He'll
• 12:05
  he'll be home by seven thirty. Yeah, exactly. This is so that's
• 12:09
  kind of the first thing that pops into my mind, right to think,
• 12:13
  two teams that really want want to run run the ball. I think that.
• 12:18
  And I haven't been following the Cubs super you know, heavily recently.
• 12:22
  I saw them in back to back weeks, you know, play against Seahome
• 12:26
  and Linden, and they looked very good in both those games. But they've
• 12:31
  they've kind of they've lost recently, and I don't know if they're kind of
• 12:35
  on a downswing a little bit right now. I don't know if there's injuries
• 12:37
  involved. I have no idea. But and I even though Squalalicum even lost
• 12:43
  last week, they played really really well, So I kind of feel like
• 12:46
  they're kind of on an uptick a little bit. So this game might be
• 12:50
  a little closer than people think. I think it would say Sidro is favored,
• 12:54
  especially being at home and all that stuff, But I think that I
• 12:56
  think that Squalcum's playing really really well. And Marcus Nixon, the guy who
• 13:01
  gave us the intro, I mean, he's he is the X factor.
• 13:03
  I kind of feel like, and hopefully you will follow my logic on this,
• 13:07
  because sometimes I feel like I don't make much sense when you're talking about
• 13:11
  things like this a lot. Yeah, yeah, but I'm just trying to,
• 13:16
  like I'm not necessarily straight line speed, even though Marcus Nixon is one
• 13:20
  of the fastest guys in Northwest Conference. But like if you set up like
• 13:24
  a like a like a like like a like a course on the well,
• 13:30
  you know, like you know what I mean, like like an obstacle course
• 13:33
  on the football field, not where you have to like crawl through a yeah
• 13:35
  yeah, you're saying, like, you know, like a wavy course of
• 13:37
  some sort, Yeah, where you have to go through this and then do
• 13:39
  a straight line then go off to the left and then run straight then zig
• 13:41
  zig this way or whatever. I feel like if you got like all the
• 13:45
  best athletes with their all their jersey on, carrying a football and doing that,
• 13:48
  I feel like Marcus Nixon would win that. And he's so he's like
• 13:50
  that kind of athlete and so he can make that little sliver, he can
• 13:56
  make that touchdown. And that's that's a huge thing to have in a high
• 14:01
  school football team because you know, a player sometimes can make a difference.
• 14:05
  Now, football is the ultimate team game, and I get that, but
• 14:09
  uh so you can't really rely on one player, but sometimes at that level,
• 14:11
  at the high school level, one player can make a huge difference.
• 14:15
  Uh, Woolie is just always so tough. I mean all the time,
• 14:20
  all the time, all the time. I can't remember the last time they
• 14:22
  were a pushover. And playing at home, you know, is going to
• 14:26
  be is going to be even you know, tougher for Squalkum because of that,
• 14:31
  and and uh yeah, last it's crazy last you know, conference game
• 14:35
  of the year, and and uh even though Cgier woolly is I mean,
• 14:41
  I guess you know they're they're out of it, right, they can't make
• 14:43
  the playoffs. But as far as we know, like right, yeah,
• 14:48
  and yeah, I even though you know, I don't think they're gonna just
• 14:52
  kind of mail this one in at all. They're coached well and and uh
• 14:56
  and so I'm expecting a really good game and and you know, some points
• 15:01
  to be put up now I need to check. But I'm pretty sure.
• 15:07
  Yes, Julian Rodriguez Padilla is back as well, the lineman that I really
• 15:13
  liked. Yes, yeah, he is back from injury. Says he has
• 15:18
  played or he posted it. Played the first two games back of the season
• 15:22
  in two games. Tyler. Twenty one total tackles. This is a d
• 15:26
  tackle by the way. Twenty one total tackles, five tackles for a loss
• 15:28
  of four sacks. Jesus. Yeah, it's a decent little start. Yeah,
• 15:35
  but yeah, there was something I was gonna say. I don't remember
• 15:39
  what it was. Oh, when you when you talk about that speed stuff,
• 15:41
  Tyler, Yeah, the guy that instantly came to mind because I knew
• 15:43
  what I knew what you were talking about right away. The guy that instantly
• 15:48
  came to mind was Chico mcclatcher. Played at the University of Washington, played
• 15:50
  it Federal away. It's one of those things where some guys have the ability
• 15:54
  to like cut and almost gain speed, you know what I mean, because
• 16:00
  they shouldn't, but it's almost like they do, you know, and like
• 16:03
  optical illusion almost. Yeah, it's like, Uh, there's a there's a
• 16:06
  guy in the NHL's names Connor McDavid. I don't know if you know who
• 16:08
  he is. Tyler. I know, I know you're not big on hockey,
• 16:11
  but you know, when you skate around a rink and you go behind
• 16:15
  the nets, in theory, you should be losing speed because you're crossing over,
• 16:19
  right, Connor McDavid actually gains speed. I mean, it's it's wild
• 16:23
  and it makes no sense, but he does, like and that's where he
• 16:26
  picks up his speed and then he power skates through the straightaways, you know.
• 16:30
  And it's very very similar in a way to what Marcus Nixon does because
• 16:33
  I've seen it before on the film. What you talk about where like he's
• 16:37
  going one way and it's not a full cut back right, It's not like
• 16:41
  he turns around and no, it's like he goes this way and then just
• 16:44
  kind of like turns a little bit and it just boom and away he goes.
• 16:48
  And so he takes long strides too, and he's he's fast, but
• 16:52
  those long strides kind of help that. Yeah, it's crazy because you see
• 16:56
  him on the on the field, he looks really tall, like and like
• 17:00
  in like when you watch film, it's like I think it's the long legs,
• 17:03
  like he looks like he's like six three. But then but then like
• 17:07
  you see him and you're like, oh, he's only like six foot six
• 17:10
  one. Maybe, Yeah, it's it's it's it is. Well, he's
• 17:12
  a prototypical running back, right, like he has good size for a running
• 17:15
  back, Like he's you know, running back. You're not going to get
• 17:18
  these guys that are like Derrick Henry right, Mott Bradshaw I think was the
• 17:23
  guy, wasn't it or was it a mod Bradshaw? Brandon Jacobs, Brandon
• 17:26
  Jacobs, that's the guy I'm thinking of. The Bradshaw might have been big
• 17:30
  two. By the way, have you seen Brandon Jacobs's son. No,
• 17:33
  he's like a sophomore or something in high school. He's like already bigger than
• 17:37
  Brandon Jacobs. And he's a running back too, if I remember right,
• 17:40
  that's insane. But yeah, anyway, squally Gum three and five. They're
• 17:45
  headed down to Sedro Wollie five and three, seven pm on Thursday at Tom
• 17:49
  Mullen Memorial Stadium, Uh Tyler, A game that you're gonna be at.
• 17:53
  This is going to take place at Lyndon Christian High School, Mount Baker three
• 17:57
  and five, two and one in league play, Lyndon Christian six and two,
• 18:00
  three and Ozero in league play. There is something on the line here,
• 18:03
  Tyler. This is one of those games last year. They're the same
• 18:07
  thing. I mean, heck, there's records. Well, Lynn and Christian
• 18:11
  was undefeated, but the record of Mount Baker might have been almost exactly the
• 18:15
  same, wasn't it. H Yeah, it was pretty close. I think
• 18:18
  they had well, they had four losses to this point. They didn't have
• 18:22
  the Okay, so they were four and four at this point, Yeah,
• 18:26
  they were four and four. Were they've been three and four because did they
• 18:30
  have the well they had that, Yeah, there was a yeah, Cedar
• 18:33
  Park Christian didn't play right. Yeah, so they might have been three and
• 18:34
  four. You know, so we're looking to do we're staring the exact same
• 18:40
  This is like groundhog Day. We had a two to one conference record and
• 18:42
  Linda gush I had a three zero conference record, and and and that's when
• 18:47
  you know, coach was like why not us? You know, And and
• 18:51
  I'm sure that there he's going over all the same thing. And there's a
• 18:55
  lot of new varsity kids on this team, but there are. And it's
• 18:57
  funny because when I look back at the game they played last year. Uh,
• 19:03
  the big play that stands out in my mind immediately was made by a
• 19:07
  player that is playing in this game, and that was land In Hanstead.
• 19:11
  There was a there was an interception thrown. I think Cayden Stite intercepted it
• 19:18
  and they were in Baker territory when it happened, and it was kind of
• 19:22
  a big point and Elsie was up already and then they were, you know,
• 19:26
  they were down to like the fifteen yard line or something like that,
• 19:29
  and they threw one, they threw a slat right at the goal line and
• 19:33
  and uh Handstead undercut it, intercepted it, and it was just if you
• 19:38
  know, if he doesn't do that, you know, Elsie's up by like
• 19:41
  whatever. It was like seventeen, you know, and the interception, you
• 19:45
  know, he brought it out and Ell and Baker ended up scoring and they
• 19:49
  kept it close and they and they ended up getting past him in the second
• 19:52
  half. That was such a huge play and it's and he's going to be
• 19:56
  in this game. I know there's not a lot of guys that were in
• 20:00
  that one, but he was. And man, this is just gonna be
• 20:03
  a fantastic, you know, game setting all that stuff. I think that.
• 20:10
  I think that. I mean, obviously last year, you know,
• 20:12
  Kate Eldridge was out in that game and it was you know, they tried
• 20:18
  to run the ball early and they just couldn't do anything. They put Kayden
• 20:23
  Styed at running back. I mean, it just didn't matter. They were
• 20:26
  not going to run the ball. I think they ended up with like negative
• 20:30
  eight yards rushing on the game. They did throw for over four hundred yards.
• 20:33
  Jeremiah Wright broke the school record for passing yards in a game, albeit
• 20:40
  in a loss. But they became very one dimensional in that game, and
• 20:44
  Baker was able to do some things up front, control the line of scrimmage,
• 20:48
  run very very well. Marcus George was on a tear at that time,
• 20:51
  so it's a little different now now, I would I'm not gonna say
• 20:56
  Dylan Moa is Marcus George, but Dylan Moa right now is playing his best
• 21:00
  football and that's a huge benefit. I think that Linden Christian's line is better
• 21:06
  than it was last year. So you know, you start kind of putting
• 21:11
  all these things together and it's like, man, it's gonna be really hard
• 21:14
  to beat Lyndon Christian. Uh And but This is just one of those rivalry
• 21:21
  games again where you just never know. And I you know, I love
• 21:29
  this matchup. It's gonna be a great one. I'm pumped to be there
• 21:32
  for it. You know, it's a it's gonna be it's gonna be a
• 21:37
  great high school football game that you know. Lynda Christian's really really good.
• 21:40
  But Baker is just they just they seem to find and that's you know,
• 21:45
  and that's just the way they are. Yep. Yeah, that's seven pm
• 21:51
  Lynden Christian High School, Mount Baker, Lyndon Christian. Tyler will be out
• 21:55
  there, so we will have a good one. Tyler's got some nuggets.
• 22:00
  Man, I hear you got nuggets? Now? Is this one where you
• 22:04
  got multiple nuggets? You just got a single nugget? What do we got
• 22:07
  here? I got one big nugget, you know, you get you know,
• 22:11
  you open up the thing and you're like, whoa, I got a
• 22:12
  super nugget. This is a super nugget. Wait, hold on, you
• 22:17
  say, when you open up a thing, what do you mean? Like,
• 22:19
  you know, like you get like a five piece nugget or a ten
• 22:22
  piece nugget and you open it up and you're like whoa like I didn't get
• 22:26
  I didn't get ten, I got like eight, and then like one super
• 22:29
  nugget, you know, like if they can fucko. I've never heard that
• 22:32
  happen. But all right, what do you got for we? Okay,
• 22:36
  for all you old timers out there, this is a game that is still
• 22:38
  talked about during these these days. Okay. Nineteen sixty nine, Oh,
• 22:44
  okay, right right my wheelhouse. Yeah, so Mount Baker Elsie they faced
• 22:48
  each other in the final week of the season. There was no playoffs back
• 22:52
  then, right, playoffs started top seventy Yeah, playoffs started in nineteen seventy
• 22:56
  three. And both teams were undefeated. And this game was played at Nuksack
• 23:00
  Valley because the Baker field was underwater, and and Mount Baker was a big
• 23:06
  time team. They they dominated the sixties. Okay, and so and Elsie
• 23:11
  was relatively a new team. They were in only their sixth year of existence.
• 23:15
  Okay, So not only was this the last game of the decade,
• 23:18
  but it was the last game coached by Bob Tisdale. Oh and it was
• 23:22
  field. Yeah yeah, it was also coach Tisdale's best team he probably had
• 23:26
  and Mount Baker scored twenty one points in the fourth quarter to beat Lenny Christian
• 23:32
  twenty seven to twenty Just a crazy game. I think Mount Baker had.
• 23:38
  They picked off five passes in that game, won like two of them at
• 23:41
  the end, one two to end to that resulted them to get the ball
• 23:48
  and drive and score the winning touchdown and then this the last one was to
• 23:51
  end the game. Basically, it was the last undefeated regular season that the
• 23:56
  Mountaineers had put together until until twenty five years later when coach Lepper arrived and
• 24:02
  was the offensive coordinator. So how about that? So there was a from
• 24:04
  nineteen sixty nine they went undefeated. I mean people, people talked about that
• 24:08
  team all the time. And you know all those Moas that are on the
• 24:12
  team, now, their grand their grandfather Ron Moa was on that team.
• 24:17
  He was alignment on that team, ron Moa. So his name was six
• 24:19
  letters long, Yes, that's all. And I think he went by Ronnie
• 24:23
  back in the day, Ronnie Moa. And that's even better. That just
• 24:26
  better. But like but like even like my dad, Like this was my
• 24:30
  dad's junior year and he wasn't he didn't play football, but he was in
• 24:33
  the band and he would talk about this game and talk about this team and
• 24:37
  how great they were, and so it's like people would always hear about this,
• 24:41
  this nineteen sixty nine team and it was Bob Tisdale's last year and all
• 24:44
  that stuff, and and uh so I did so I was doing some research
• 24:48
  and I've heard it, and so I wanted to kind of read the article
• 24:49
  about this game. And I didn't know it was played at Uksack Valley.
• 24:52
  And but the cool thing, like I said, it was the last regular
• 24:56
  season undefeated, you know, team they had until twenty five years later,
• 25:00
  when in nineteen ninety four they were undefeated in the regular season. And that
• 25:03
  was coach Leap's first year at Mount Baker and he was an assistant coach.
• 25:06
  He was the offensive coordinator. So pretty cool deal there, you know,
• 25:11
  Tyler. And this is something I'm not going to go way off topic here,
• 25:15
  but when you talk about how your dad talks about and people talk about
• 25:19
  it, this is why the state championships being at those awful three stadiums the
• 25:26
  last few years is such a bad, bad thing, right, Like you
• 25:29
  know where I'm going with that, Like, and I'm not going to go
• 25:30
  crazy here, but like people talk about stuff like that and if they made
• 25:36
  a state championship game back in the seventies and they played in the Kingdome or
• 25:41
  you know whatever, like they would still be talking about it to this day.
• 25:45
  Even if you lost, you still talk about playing in the Kingdome.
• 25:48
  Yeah, you know. And it's just, man, it's so annoying.
• 25:49
  But that's awesome. I mean that that is a great nugget. Like that's
• 25:53
  why we do the nuggets right there, like stuff like that, Tyler,
• 25:56
  because there's people around the county right now listen to this, going, wow,
• 26:00
  that sounds like it was at Nooksack. You know, the the baker
• 26:06
  field was underwater. That's kind of wild. Is there a river over there
• 26:08
  or something? It just must have rained a lot. And yeahage the drainage
• 26:14
  wasn't great. My dad was at the school. He was not the maintenance
• 26:17
  man yet. So you know what, you know what, I maybe Randy
• 26:19
  small Nose, maybe he can pull up the Uh oh, he's gonna do
• 26:23
  it. Hey, I don't know if he can go back that far to
• 26:26
  give the date again. Make it easy on him. Give the date again.
• 26:29
  Let me see if I could find it. It was. I know
• 26:33
  it was the first Friday of November in nineteen sixty nine, Okay, because
• 26:38
  I know that he can go because obviously if the field's underwater, then he
• 26:41
  needs to go back and look probably the last couple of days before that,
• 26:45
  right, sure, yeah, I mean it could be. Yeah, well
• 26:48
  we'll find out and if if there's something to report, we'll try to do
• 26:52
  it. Yeah, And I am finding out right now that it was November
• 26:56
  eighth, okay, eighteen sixty nine. Okay, so you lie, it
• 27:00
  wasn't the first one. You're right, I'm sorry, you're right, you're
• 27:03
  right. It was the second one. So sorry, Randy. November eighth,
• 27:07
  yeah, no, no, I'm sorry. November seventh, oh okay,
• 27:11
  So it was it was the first one, man. Oh yeah,
• 27:14
  because the data of the article would have been the eighth, right, exactly,
• 27:17
  Yes, it's exactly right. Yep, that's what I was looking at
• 27:19
  all. Right, So maybe maybe like the fourth, fifth, and sixth,
• 27:23
  it had to have been just absolutely dumping. Yeah, I mean you
• 27:26
  would think. I don't know, maybe Randy can tell us, maybe he
• 27:29
  can't. I don't know if it goes back that far, you know what
• 27:30
  I mean, Like, can they go back to it. I don't know
• 27:33
  if they can, like, I mean I could, like I know that,
• 27:36
  like there's some some stuff that they can do, you know, like
• 27:38
  probably you know, temperatures and stuff. But would they have recorded rain back
• 27:41
  then? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. He would say,
• 27:45
  he might. You know, there is a place in Bellevue that you
• 27:47
  might know about. There's only six of these in the world, but one
• 27:51
  of them is in Bellevue, and it's a dealership that has Deloreans. Oh
• 27:56
  yeah, and so he just might need to go. Oh. I was
• 27:59
  like, where the heck are you going with this, Tyler, And even
• 28:03
  when he said DeLorean, it didn't click right away. I'm like, what,
• 28:07
  he just needs to go back in time and check it out. Was
• 28:08
  at one tigawattes or something like, yes, eighty eight miles per hour jigawatts,
• 28:14
  which they didn't know the term is actually gig a gigawatt. Yeah,
• 28:18
  yeah, I've always thought that was funny. Yeah. All right, Well
• 28:22
  we have gone so far off topic that I will remind people Mount Baker three
• 28:26
  and five they are headed to Lyndons Mount Baker three and five two and one
• 28:29
  In Northwest Conference play, They're head to Linden Christian six and two, three
• 28:32
  and oh in Northwest Conference play. A lot on the line here, and
• 28:34
  I mean a lot on the line here, seven pm Lynden Christian High School,
• 28:40
  that is on Thursday. If you see Tyler out there, tell him
• 28:42
  what the weather was like in the sixties. Uh, Nooksack Valley five and
• 28:47
  two, two and one in Northwest Conference play. They're headed to Blaine two
• 28:49
  and six, one and two in Northwest Conference play. That is a seven
• 28:52
  pm game at Blaine High School, also on a Thursday. Tyler, Yeah,
• 29:00
  this is this is you know, interesting because you know you look at
• 29:03
  it on paper and you're like, oh yeah, yeah. But no,
• 29:07
  nook Sac had a week off. Who knows how they're going to be as
• 29:11
  far as just things clicking and stuff like that, and and uh and Blaine.
• 29:18
  You know, it's it's just been a it's just been a tough year
• 29:21
  for them. And they've won a couple of games, which is one more
• 29:25
  than they won last year. There was another game that they should have won
• 29:27
  that you were at. So they're there, you know there, there's there's
• 29:30
  things going in the right direction and and I really liked what you know.
• 29:34
  Coach Olsen had a tweet today that said you know this week we won our
• 29:40
  seventh we won our seventh grade game or eighth grade game, and are they
• 29:42
  have it's called a frosh More game, so whatever whatever that is. Yeah,
• 29:48
  so it's it's like, yeah, but I you know, is that
• 29:52
  that's different than JV I guess, Yeah, usually a Froshmore to eat So
• 29:56
  usually Froshmore they'll call it the that'll be kind of like a C team,
• 30:00
  but it doesn't have any juniors. So like, okay, just to give
• 30:04
  you an example, Boffel, we have a straight freshman team. We only
• 30:08
  have fre freshman. Yeah, only freshmen. There's no sophomores or juniors on
• 30:11
  the team. Most of the teams we play are also just freshmen, but
• 30:15
  there's a couple of them that have some sophomores, and so that would be
• 30:18
  our our freshman against their frosh More team. It's kind of what it would
• 30:22
  be. And then there has been a couple of teams that our freshmen have
• 30:25
  played and they've played teams with juniors, and that would be a true Sea
• 30:27
  team and we beat them too. Yeah, our freshman seven and zero baby
• 30:33
  nice. Yeah. So yeah, he had a tweet saying, like all
• 30:36
  those teams won this week and he was just excited about the future. And
• 30:38
  so, you know, so it's been you know, there's been some hiccups
• 30:41
  along the way. Is big time injury issues and stuff like that. But
• 30:47
  you know, playing their last game at home. You know, they're scheduling
• 30:48
  in a week ten game. I'm trying to remember. I talked to coach
• 30:52
  Olsen about it, and I don't know who they're in talks with, uh,
• 30:56
  but you know, they'll get they'll get something in there. I don't
• 31:00
  know. I they're gonna play that one at home as well. But Nuksack
• 31:03
  Valley is just they're so you know, they're just so deep and talented and
• 31:07
  big and powerful and and they're just hard to beat, you know. And
• 31:14
  obviously they still need to take care of business here too, secure you know,
• 31:19
  the possibilities of you know, postseason and maybe playing on Tuesday or what,
• 31:25
  you know, all that stuff that might have to happen. But but
• 31:30
  yeah, I mean, Knuksack Valley is I don't know. I know they've
• 31:34
  lost a couple of games, they've they outgained their opponent in both those games,
• 31:38
  they were both really really close. I still look at them as you
• 31:45
  know a juggernaut team. I mean, I know, like I said,
• 31:48
  I know, they have a couple of losses and everything, but they're just
• 31:53
  they're built for the postseason. You know, we've talked about teams that have
• 31:57
  struggle and the weather and stuff like that. This team, you know,
• 32:01
  if they if it starts getting wetter and colder, and they start they want
• 32:06
  to run ninety percent of the time, they're going to be really tough to
• 32:08
  be and especially with that defense and their kicking game is outstanding. Well,
• 32:13
  you're talking all turf once you get to the playoffs. So yeah, there's
• 32:15
  no bad footing. Everybody's got the same footing, you know what I mean,
• 32:19
  Like that's yeah, you're one hundred percent right. That's the team that's
• 32:21
  built for the playoffs. And it would not surprise me at one bit if
• 32:24
  they found a way. It just wouldn' yeah. I mean they could be
• 32:29
  a nine or ten seed. Yeah, and it's and Baker was a ten
• 32:31
  seed last year. I have a feeling same championship game. I mean,
• 32:37
  it's one of those things where I really hope the committee has done their homework
• 32:42
  and they look at things and go, hey, look the two teams that
• 32:45
  they lost to are going to be probably top five seeds, right, and
• 32:51
  they're also able to look at it and go, hey, you know what
• 32:53
  we've done over the years, We've actually done a pretty poor job of ranking
• 32:59
  the Northway Conference, you know. And you would think and you would hope,
• 33:05
  but you know, you just never know. People have been asking me
• 33:08
  for the last week or two, like, hey, where do you think
• 33:12
  we're gonna I'm like, dude, I don't know. I'm not in the
• 33:15
  conversation anymore, you know, and I haven't been in the conversation for a
• 33:17
  couple of years, yep, And so you just don't know. But man,
• 33:21
  I'll tell you what if they get it, And this is one of
• 33:23
  those ones, I mean, if I'm being honest, this is one of
• 33:25
  those ones where an eight nine seed for them might not be a terrible thing
• 33:30
  because then they could go steal that one seed in round two, you know
• 33:34
  what I mean. Now that might mean having to go to Royal, which
• 33:38
  I don't know you want to do that, But you know what I'm saying,
• 33:40
  like, it's yeah, I don't know, it's gonna be really really
• 33:44
  interesting, I'll say that much. Yeah. Yeah, So this you know,
• 33:47
  it's it's gonna be a tough one for Blaine, and uh, you
• 33:52
  know it's and it just is what it is. I mean, it's it's
• 33:55
  really really you know, the Pioneers they had week off and it's crazy because
• 34:01
  I'm working on the graphics right now for like the top five leaders, and
• 34:05
  they still have a lot of guys in those top five leaders despite missing a
• 34:07
  game. So those you know, they they really can do some good things
• 34:14
  and and they're gonna be ready to play in this this one. Nooksack Valley
• 34:17
  five and two, two and one in Northwest Conference play Blane two and six,
• 34:22
  one and two. That is seven pm at Blaine High School on a
• 34:24
  Thursday. Let's move to Friday, Bellingham. They are five and three.
• 34:29
  They're headed well just barely up the road. They don't even have to go
• 34:31
  that far to Meridian. So I know that makes Tyler very happy. So
• 34:36
  happy, he's gonna head right down what is it Wax Road or something,
• 34:39
  Axton Axton that's what it is. Axton Road or Axton Lane, Axton Drive,
• 34:45
  I don't even know, but he's gonna head right down it for a
• 34:47
  seven pm date at Meridian High School. So you can get himself a burger,
• 34:52
  make the burger basterd kind of happy. But that's five and three,
• 34:54
  three and five. But that's this is one also where you know the records,
• 34:59
  I I don't know that it's very indicative of what this game could truly
• 35:01
  be. Tyler, Yeah, this one, this one's gonna be. I
• 35:05
  think a close game. This is a lot like how I saw the Bellingham
• 35:10
  Blaine game. You know, I was looking at it, going, oh,
• 35:13
  man, it's gonna be tough to pick. And I looked at this
• 35:15
  one, going, man, it's gonna be tough to pick. And Meridian,
• 35:19
  you know, they they played through the conference. They did not win
• 35:21
  a game in the conference, which I I think this is the best,
• 35:25
  you know, like one a conference team ever to not win a game in
• 35:30
  the conference. You know, I look back at you know, there's there's
• 35:34
  been teams that, you know, when they used to play each other twice,
• 35:37
  you know, sometimes they always always be a team that would steal a
• 35:39
  win here and there. But I cannot recall a team that went winless in
• 35:44
  the conference that was that was you know, this good and you know they
• 35:49
  have a ton of talent. Now Bellingham has a ton of talent too,
• 35:52
  it's been evident these last five games, they have put up a lot of
• 35:57
  points. The defense has played so much better. But you know, last
• 36:02
  week it was a little it was a little tough going there in the beginning
• 36:06
  of the game at Friday Harbor. It was you know, they were down
• 36:10
  at halftime, and they found a way and they they did what they do
• 36:14
  and they got the ball their playmaker's hands and they scored points and they won.
• 36:17
  I look back Friday Harbor backed out of the game against Meridian earlier this
• 36:22
  year and oh yeah, and they right, yes, but they took it
• 36:30
  to Belliam pretty good. So yeah, this is interesting. It kind of
• 36:36
  looks you kind of look at it that way and you go, you sa,
• 36:37
  you look at like and exactly what you said five and three vers three
• 36:40
  and five is not indicative. That's kind of the reason why I, you
• 36:45
  know, I And then last year these two teams played and Bellingham, you
• 36:51
  know, Meridian got them. It was out at Civic, but Belliam probably
• 36:52
  played their best game of the year that that night. Even though they did
• 36:57
  lose, it was probably their best opponent they they played that year, and
• 37:00
  they played pretty well. They're on a five game winning streak there's so many
• 37:07
  things about this game where you kind of lean and you go and you could
• 37:09
  come up with multiple reasons for each team to win. And that's what makes
• 37:15
  for a fun night. I love the atmosphere out at Meridian High School.
• 37:19
  Like I said, the smell of the barbecue is fantastic. It's you know,
• 37:24
  there's both these teams have really good top end players that I love to
• 37:30
  watch. I'm gonna love watching the line play. Both lines have been playing
• 37:36
  really really well. There's just some things that you know it's gonna come down
• 37:40
  to something weird. You know it's gonna come down to a punt return for
• 37:45
  touchdown or a pick six or a blocked punt or something crazy. When I
• 37:49
  start thinking about those kinds of things, the first thing that pops in my
• 37:52
  head is Josh den Elmer. He's that he's that difference maker that's gonna do
• 37:58
  something. Spark he is and he just does so many different things. I
• 38:02
  mean, he you know, special teams, wise, everything and so.
• 38:07
  And if they're playing their final home game and that's gonna be his final home
• 38:12
  game, and I know that they have scheduled a week ten game, I
• 38:15
  think they're gonna play Cedar Park Christian. Actually, I don't know where that's
• 38:17
  gonna play, which is cool because Peter Park Christian coached by former Meridian graduate
• 38:22
  Kurt Royce. Oh yeah, that's right, we talked about that before.
• 38:24
  Yeah, so I might have just dropped a nugget for next week, but
• 38:30
  so, yeah, I just I think it's gonna be a great, great
• 38:32
  game. Really hard to make a decision on this one for our pick them.
• 38:37
  So I just hope to witness a really good game. That is Bellingham
• 38:42
  five and three at Meridian three and five, seven pm Friday Friday at Meridian
• 38:49
  High School. If you see Tyler out there, by him a burger,
• 38:52
  even if he's already got one in his hands, the guy could bring some
• 38:54
  Burger's home or something. I don't know. I do have room in my
• 38:59
  camera bag, which I've done before. I'm not against it. Lakewood two
• 39:06
  and five, one and four in the Northwest Conference Play. They are headed
• 39:09
  to Civic Stadium to take on the Seahome Mariners five and three, three and
• 39:13
  three in Northwest Conference play. And uh wait, three and three, one
• 39:17
  and four, how is that, Tyler? Well, they have that game
• 39:22
  up in the air against Burlington. Oh, that's right. That is seven
• 39:25
  pm, Civic Stadium, Tyler. So yeah, what do you what do
• 39:28
  you? What do you got here? Well, remember what I said about
• 39:31
  the squal Comsidro game might go fast, but two running teams, yeah,
• 39:36
  this one might take a while. This one is like the exact opposite.
• 39:39
  This are two teams that love to throw the ball. They do it very
• 39:43
  well, and you know, it could make for a long night. You
• 39:49
  know, see home coming up. That really exciting win and they're back at
• 39:54
  you know, they were the road team, you know, which was kind
• 39:57
  of interesting. They saw the fans on the opposite side of the Civic you
• 40:01
  know, Civic Stadium stands there on the opposite side, which I know you
• 40:05
  love because it's off centered. Oh no, I believe it. Okay,
• 40:09
  I believe it was centered when it was a grass field. It probably will
• 40:14
  I will say that. And little little extra nugget here that was not planned.
• 40:21
  Tyler's got some nuggets, man. Yeah, those opposite stands were built
• 40:25
  by my grandfather in his carpentry crew. Interesting, yeah, my dad I
• 40:30
  think has the blueprint still. Is that why it's like a curved roof?
• 40:35
  Are you saying that he was short like he couldn't reach all the way.
• 40:37
  I don't know. I don't know what I was saying there. I'm just
• 40:39
  no, I don't know. I just I remember my dad telling me that,
• 40:42
  like he goes, yeah, he goes. Your grandpa built those,
• 40:45
  you know, Like what I remember one of my somebody in my family,
• 40:50
  my uncles, I don't remember who it was. They were on the crew
• 40:52
  that built the roof at a Husky stadium that fell down. Oh yeah,
• 40:55
  I mean that's that's kind of one of those cool things. But also like,
• 40:59
  hey, yeah, your family kind of screwed that up, or somebody
• 41:00
  did, or maybe it with my neighbor. I can't remember. It was
• 41:04
  somebody that I knew growing up though. But that was what was cool about
• 41:07
  seeing the film on that game was the opposite stands were packed, and they
• 41:09
  came running from that area and they made a big tunnel for all the ceiling
• 41:14
  players to run through after the game, and it just and now they're gonna
• 41:16
  be back on this side and and and playing Lakewood, you know, like
• 41:20
  I saw Lakewood, you know, I saw them beat squalk them. I
• 41:22
  saw them put up a lot of points. Now, that was a tough
• 41:23
  one. Last week against Lyndon. Uh, but they will just keep coming
• 41:29
  as far as throwing the ball and throwing the ball, and and I you
• 41:32
  know, I see see them winning this one. But man, it's gonna
• 41:36
  be a lot of yards, a lot of you know, this is gonna
• 41:38
  be one where I'm sitting here just totaling stuff up stat wise, and and
• 41:43
  I get excited about that. I love it, you know. And I
• 41:45
  mean I've been this and this is how like I don't know, this is
• 41:50
  how much I'm I am into stats. Is like I'll be watching a playoff
• 41:53
  game and I'll be up there at Civic and like you know, usually Linden's
• 41:57
  playing or something like that. I'm up on the booth and and I'm really
• 42:00
  hoping they win because it's a Walking County team. But I want to keep
• 42:04
  adding stats to their like you know, career totals. Yeah, like that.
• 42:07
  That that's what I want. Like it. That's how crazy I am
• 42:10
  with it. And so this is gonna be one of those games where you
• 42:13
  could see some big numbers put up and it'll be exciting football for the fans.
• 42:16
  I think that they're going to really enjoy this one. And and and
• 42:21
  hopefully, uh Grady Evans and and it will be will be past his sickness
• 42:28
  and be ready to go because he is a weapon, not just as a
• 42:30
  kicker, but on the offensive defensive side as well. So hopefully everyone's at
• 42:35
  full strength and and put on a good show at Civic Stadium, Lakewood two
• 42:38
  and five, one and four, Sea Home five and three, three and
• 42:42
  three, seven pm, Civic Stadium, h Tyler. This is this is
• 42:46
  interesting. It is technically, I guess, in a way like our first
• 42:50
  playoff game, our first like true kind of playoff game. But it's also
• 42:52
  not because both teams are going to move on, so it's not really a
• 42:57
  playoff. I don't know how to just it means a lot, doesn't it,
• 43:00
  Like for seeding for next week? It should. So the thing is
• 43:04
  is the winner of this game, I would think maybe could get a home
• 43:08
  game the next week. The loser probably not. So I mean it is
• 43:14
  huge, I mean it is definitely huge. That being said, Edmonds would
• 43:17
  weigh six and two coming to town to take on Ferndale also six and two,
• 43:22
  seven pm at oh Tyler. You put Ferndale High School what's it called
• 43:25
  now, Golden Eagle Stadium, Golden Eagle Stadium, yeah, and that's official.
• 43:32
  We know that. I heard from a few different sources, so I
• 43:37
  saw it. Mikayla sent me a message. She was there last week.
• 43:43
  She said that's what they called it, and then I saw it like on
• 43:45
  a tweet or something. So I'm going with it. I mean, you
• 43:50
  know, journalism one oh one, get two sources, that's what they say.
• 43:55
  Well, then you know what, I'm your source. Never mind.
• 44:01
  Yeah, anyway, so this is as far as we understand, like we're
• 44:06
  I'm pretty sure we're right here. This is two versus two, So this
• 44:08
  is three a South versus three a North, two versus two, So they're
• 44:13
  both moving on. And I guess in theory, even if Ferndale was to
• 44:17
  beat Edmonds wood Way, they could the committee could do whatever the heck they
• 44:21
  want, you know. So there is a round of thirty two committee which
• 44:24
  will be next week, and then a state tournament round or a state tournament
• 44:29
  committee that is a week later. So yeah, it's kind of goofy the
• 44:32
  way they do it, but it also kind of does make sense because you
• 44:36
  know, the round of thirty two you can maybe make a little bit more
• 44:39
  regional, you know, so there's not as much travel sure, and then
• 44:44
  you're also kind of in a way like, hey, we're not sure if
• 44:47
  this league's team number two and this team's league number two are equal. You
• 44:53
  know, we'll put them against some in some games, see what happens,
• 44:55
  and then you see them differently in the next round, you know what I
• 44:58
  mean? Like there's I don't really have problem with it, but it's definitely
• 45:00
  an interesting way of doing things. But yeah, Edmund's Woodway Tyler, I
• 45:05
  can't imagine they have a ton of you know, stuff against the teams in
• 45:10
  Waukham County, But with some of this crossover stuff, I guess it is
• 45:14
  possible. Huh, Yeah, you know it's and I'm trying to remember because
• 45:21
  before it was just Edmund's High School. Yes, well I think it was
• 45:23
  Edmunds and Woodwagh right, and then they combined. Yeah, so you know
• 45:30
  that's another thing like I'd have to look at and go hohd who played Edmunds
• 45:32
  or who played Woodway? Going way back? But not Yeah, not a
• 45:36
  ton of history, I don't think. Uh. And I was going to
• 45:42
  ask you too, is the week ten round of thirty two? Yeah?
• 45:47
  Do do these games have to be played on turf? I don't think so,
• 45:53
  okay, And I guess it's not a big district round and I'm pretty
• 45:57
  sure it's only the state tournament that, okay, that is required by those
• 46:01
  rules, and it's not a big deal because Ferndale plays on turf now.
• 46:05
  But I was I was like wondering if they had the old stadium, would
• 46:07
  they be able to host a Week ten game. But it doesn't matter anymore,
• 46:10
  but because I know, yeah, it's just one of those things.
• 46:15
  I know, they played down at Seattle Memorial a couple of years ago.
• 46:16
  You were there at that one. I think I've panned a couple of times.
• 46:21
  Yeah. Then they used to Oday one year and they lost to Garfield
• 46:24
  another year, right, yeah, yeah, And I think I was at
• 46:27
  both of those and just really quickly. Edmunds Woodway was formed from Edmund's High
• 46:31
  School and Woodway High School, both in the city of Edmunds, merged in
• 46:35
  nineteen ninety. So that makes it maybe a little bit easier for you to
• 46:38
  be able to figure some stuff out. Yeah, well, thank you for
• 46:42
  that. And you know, it's funny because when I used to announce games
• 46:45
  with Doug Lang, he graduated from Edmunds High School. Oh, and and
• 46:50
  he did it like right before that merger. And he would and he would
• 46:53
  not refer to he would not refer to the school as Edmonds Woodway. He
• 46:57
  just kept calling him Edmunds like he he was like, we don't talk about
• 47:00
  that Woodway team, just one of the old school you know. Yeah.
• 47:06
  But now, Tyler, tell me this, does does Mountain Baker have a
• 47:09
  school motto? Oh goodness, I don't think so. I mean, I
• 47:15
  don't know if Oneida has one. I don't think we did. I mean,
• 47:17
  if we did, I never heard it. I'm looking here at their
• 47:21
  Wikipedia page. Edmunds Woodway has a Edmunds or has a has a school motto.
• 47:25
  I'm not gonna lie. It's a little it's a little arrogant. There
• 47:30
  are two kinds of people in this world, warriors and those who wish they
• 47:32
  were. All right, that's a very interesting school motto. I'm just saying.
• 47:40
  I mean, I don't know what's going on over there. But they
• 47:43
  also, Tyler, have maybe one of the weirdest color schemes of any school
• 47:46
  I've ever seen. There are official colors for Edmonds Woodway High School purple,
• 47:52
  green, yellow, and orange. Oh yeah, Now I would assume that
• 47:57
  that's probably the two schools. Just yeah, one was purple and orange and
• 48:00
  one was green and yellow and right or, I mean, orange is really
• 48:06
  strange to have with those other three colors. So I don't know what the
• 48:07
  heck was going. Kind of reminds me of like I opened the dryer at
• 48:12
  my house, you know, or when you look at your shoe rack.
• 48:15
  Yeah, you know, I mean, if I'm being honest, you know,
• 48:19
  I mean, like I always say, it looks like rainbow bright puked
• 48:22
  Skittles when I open up my Actually, yeah, it's I mean, that
• 48:25
  does sound like a mega Skittles right there. Yeah, yeah, or peanut
• 48:29
  M and ms no, no purple. You know. Back in the nineteen
• 48:32
  eighty five playoffs, Ferndale played Edmonds in the second round and Donny Finkbonner ran
• 48:38
  for two hundred and four yards and a touchdown average seventeen yards of carrying that
• 48:44
  game. And this was back when like you had to block with your your
• 48:46
  forearms and uh yeah, pretty pretty good stuff there. So that's really I
• 48:52
  mean, this was back and this was Edmonds. This was regular Edmunds High
• 48:55
  School. Doug Peterson quarterbacking that team anyway, So that's really the only like
• 49:00
  thing I can find as far as with Ferndale. But uh, but this
• 49:05
  one, you know, Ferndale is playing really well right now. Yeah.
• 49:08
  Uh and and and it's cool that it kind of started, you know,
• 49:14
  a few weeks ago at home and they're still playing at home and this is
• 49:19
  you know, another one at home, and they're just kinda they gotta keep
• 49:22
  that momentum rolling right now. Yeah, it was a tough one against Gotchel,
• 49:25
  and Gotchel's nipped a couple teams by one and made this whole thing a
• 49:30
  really weird thing to look at. But Ferndale is they're the they're that team
• 49:35
  right now that that's kind of on that they're they're peaking at the right time,
• 49:38
  you know, and there's you know, as far as you know,
• 49:42
  their key players are doing the big things and key moments. Everything's kind of
• 49:45
  happening in the right way. I don't know that much about Edmonds woodwigh and
• 49:49
  I'm you know, hey, you're sick, you're six and two, you're
• 49:52
  doing some things right so, but I think right now Ferndale's uh six and
• 49:57
  two is a little different. I mean that you know, lost to Gtel
• 50:00
  again is just it was just weird. They lost to Stanwood. Hey,
• 50:04
  Stanwood is for real this year or not? Stanward, I'm sorry Arlington and
• 50:09
  Arlington's for real, and so I get that, but man, this is
• 50:14
  this is something that and I'm gonna be perfectly honest. When the season started,
• 50:17
  I just didn't know how Ferndale was gonna be and and it's also part
• 50:22
  of that is that they play in a conference where I don't know any of
• 50:25
  the other teams like I do up here, and so it was such a
• 50:30
  mystery to me. And when I the one practice I went to, I
• 50:35
  mean, even the players and the coaches told me like that was the worst
• 50:37
  practice we had all year, like it's just we were just not good today.
• 50:42
  And but that's the only basis I have to look at, and it
• 50:45
  was not good. They were right. So I just went into the season
• 50:49
  this year kind of like I don't know, man, this is and they
• 50:52
  lost so many key players and then they go out and they beat Lynnon on
• 50:55
  the road, and it's like, man, I don't know anything, you
• 51:00
  know, I just I had to like scrap everything and go you know I
• 51:05
  should I what, you know, this is gonna be one of those weird
• 51:07
  years and Linen hasn't lost sense, so you know, they they are still
• 51:13
  for real. It's not like Linden was that down or anything. And Ferndale,
• 51:17
  you know, they just do what they do and they keep But here's
• 51:22
  the thing too, Everyone says, oh, same old Ferndale. They just
• 51:25
  run the same stuff. Yeah, but they tweak little things all the time.
• 51:30
  And that's that tweak make ways of blocking or they tweak. Yes,
• 51:34
  I mean you and I talked about this before Landon Hatchet was pulling. Yeah,
• 51:38
  I mean you don't typically won you don't pull the center a lot in
• 51:43
  football, but especially not in the wing tea. Like, well, you
• 51:46
  know what's crazy is that Vance Lawrence at Baker has been pulling a ton this
• 51:50
  year. And that's as wild too. The thing that is always hard is
• 51:54
  pulling from under center. Yeah, when you've got the quarterback right up there
• 51:59
  on your butt and you got to try to pull, that's tough to do.
• 52:00
  I mean that is really tough to do. Yeah. Yeah, And
• 52:05
  and so I've been and I've been noticing that with Vance Lawrence at Baker and
• 52:07
  they run the wing tea and he's a super athletic kid too. Down there
• 52:10
  kickoff. He's the first one down there. He's an awesome wrestler. He's
• 52:14
  you know, he's very athletic as well. But you have to have that
• 52:15
  kind of guy to do it. And but like Ferndale, will take a
• 52:20
  play that is successful and they'll do one little tweak to it, or they'll
• 52:22
  do a fake somewhere they'll do and it's just, man, it's fun to
• 52:27
  watch. And you think they're running the same six plays, but it's not.
• 52:30
  It's different. And and they're they're they're peaking right now. And the
• 52:34
  line's been playing great, especially that defensive line. They've been really getting after
• 52:37
  it. And uh, it's it's an exciting one. But I go into
• 52:42
  it going I just put my hands up and go, I don't know anything
• 52:45
  about this Edmunds Woodway team, you know, and we'll find out Friday night,
• 52:50
  Tyler. Have you ever heard of Blaine Hardy. No. He was
• 52:54
  a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers. Retired in twenty twenty one.
• 53:00
  He's from Edmonds Woodway High School. I got a couple other names here
• 53:04
  for you. All right, okay, all right, Anna Ferris, yeah,
• 53:07
  actress, Yeah, from my one of my favorite movies Just Friends.
• 53:13
  Yeah, and she was also in the Scary Movie Series and she was in
• 53:16
  Lost in Translation, The House Bunny, The House Bunny. Overboard. I
• 53:22
  don't never heard of Overboard. There was there was an original in eighty seven
• 53:27
  and that take she was in the remake of it. Gotcha was Overboard,
• 53:30
  the one that had Adam Sandler originally No Overboard was It was a couple that
• 53:38
  they got married after making that movie together, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
• 53:43
  Interesting and then they and then funny how movies do that to people? Yeah,
• 53:49
  Dino Rossi former politician, businessman, Yeah, Branford governor a couple of
• 53:52
  times. Yeah. And another one Tyler. I'm not going to give you
• 53:57
  the name, Okay, Okay, I'm gonna tell you what this person did,
• 54:00
  and I think you should be able to name this person because of what
• 54:02
  they did. Doug Lang. No, I'm just kidding, not on here,
• 54:07
  Okay. But you know what's funny is a lot of these if they
• 54:10
  went to either Edmund's or Woodweight, It'll tell you which one. Oh cool,
• 54:15
  Yeah, this guy here, he went to woodwagh Okay, okay,
• 54:19
  okay, he's in the rock and roll Hall of fame. Oh okay,
• 54:22
  he was the original drummer for Heart. Oh my goodness, let me see
• 54:30
  if you know what any other bands? Oh, actually, he doesn't have
• 54:35
  his own Wikipedia page. It takes it straight to Heart, so maybe he's
• 54:38
  not all that known. Yeah, I don't know original one. Michael de
• 54:44
  Rogier. Yeah I did not know that. Yeah, I know. Heart
• 54:49
  is got back together and they're playing playing the show locally on New Year's Eve.
• 54:53
  Yeah. You ever seen the video of Heart from the U Kennedy Center
• 55:00
  Honors when they sing Stairway to Heaven. No, oh, Tyler, Tyler,
• 55:07
  Tyler, I'm gonna blow your mind tonight, and I obviously can't do
• 55:09
  it right now. I'm gonna send that to you and you're gonna watch it,
• 55:13
  and when you're done, you're gonna you're gonna thank me. You're gonna
• 55:15
  be like that is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. All right,
• 55:16
  Well, then you need to see the Dave Girl and Taylor Hawkins play
• 55:22
  Stairway to Heaven on the on the on the The Late Show. Who was
• 55:29
  it was that Sports Center guy that did his own show, Craig K.
• 55:31
  C. Kilburn. Yeah, yeah, that's hilarious too. Anyway, So,
• 55:35
  okay, you actually like this Kennedy Center honors because they're honoring led Zeppelin
• 55:40
  and Lenny Kravitz does Uh I've seen shows like that. Yeah, Lenny Kravitz
• 55:45
  does a song. The Foo Fighters also do a song. Nice. Yeah,
• 55:51
  and actually Dave Groll is on the drums and Taylor Hawkins is singing nice.
• 55:54
  Yeah, it's pretty wild, But which is funny because Taylor Hawkins is
• 55:58
  better singer than Dave Girl and Dave Girl's better drummer than Taylor Hawkins. Yes,
• 56:00
  yes, but that band would not have been as good the other way.
• 56:04
  No, exactly, exactly wild. Yeah, anyway, Edmonds WOODWAGH six
• 56:08
  and two at Ferndale six and two, seven pm at Golden Eagle Stadium.
• 56:15
  Did I get that right? Yes? The final game of the week,
• 56:19
  Well, I guess the final game we're going to talk about this week is
• 56:22
  maybe the game that everybody's talking about, and I'm talking state wide. I've
• 56:25
  got people asking me my thoughts on this game that is anti Chortus eight and
• 56:30
  oh six and oh in Northwest Conference play coming to town to take on Linden
• 56:35
  seven and one. They only lost to Ferndale in week one and they've been
• 56:38
  real hot ever since. They are also six and oh in Northwest Conference play.
• 56:45
  I would think the winner of this game maybe gets the number one seed.
• 56:49
  Wow, you know in the in the two aa I there's some other
• 56:52
  good teams, right, but this is Umbwater. Yeah yeah, that's seven
• 56:58
  PM Rolie to Costererfield Tyler, So yeah, what do you got for me
• 57:00
  here? Well, you know, so many things come into my mind when
• 57:04
  you think about this game. You think about last year's game. Lyndon came
• 57:07
  away with a twenty three thirteen win at Anti Chordus. Anta Chordis was very
• 57:13
  on the upcoming. They were kind of the new thing, you know.
• 57:15
  They were kind of the the hey, look at us, like we're pretty
• 57:20
  good too, and they were proving it week after week and they were playing
• 57:22
  at home against the defending state champions, and Lyndon kind of was like,
• 57:27
  okay, you know, come up with what a game plan, beat them
• 57:31
  to go to the playoffs and take care of business. And this is you
• 57:37
  know, a lot of those key players are back for Anti Chordis, not
• 57:39
  a lot of them are back for Lindon. This game is going to be
• 57:43
  at Lindon. Oh Man it's going to be huge. I've told this story
• 57:47
  before, but you know, when this before the season started, Mikayla,
• 57:52
  my intern, you know, we went to all the schools together and we
• 57:54
  did headshots and stuff like that. And she's really she's just such a hard
• 57:59
  worker and she's learned so much about this and and I asked her about what
• 58:01
  games she wanted to go to and and and she said, well, there's
• 58:08
  only two games that I'm like, I am going to be there no matter
• 58:12
  what. And I said, great, what are they? And she goes,
• 58:15
  I'm going to Linden Christian Knuksac Valley and I'm gonna go to Anti Chortus
• 58:19
  at Lindon. And I said, great, you got him. And you
• 58:22
  know, so it's like it's you know, she was saying this before the
• 58:24
  season even started, you know, and then all of a sudden they're both
• 58:28
  undefeated in conference. Man, what a just what a matchup. You know.
• 58:34
  It's a great atmosphere too. Out at Lindon. The band and all
• 58:37
  the fans are you know, stands are going to be packed, and I
• 58:40
  would imagine they're gonna, you know, try to bring in some bleachers for
• 58:44
  extra you know, people especially the anti chortus coming up, and oh boy,
• 58:49
  it's gonna be and it's funny. I mean even at the volleyball match
• 58:52
  I was at tonight. I was going, you know, I was,
• 58:54
  I was walking down down the steps and and uh and Pete Lockhart, you
• 59:00
  know, the official, his daughter plays volleyball at Bellingham and and it was
• 59:05
  Bellingham' Squalcum that I was at tonight, and you know, he's like,
• 59:07
  where, where, where where are you going to be this weekend? You
• 59:10
  know, And I'm like, well, and I had to think about it
• 59:14
  because I'm thinking because I'm in volleyball mode, you know, and I'm like,
• 59:16
  I'm gonna be all over the place. I'm going to be at Elsie
• 59:21
  Baker on Thursday. And then I was like Friday, I'm going to be
• 59:24
  Bellingham Meridian and and I said, where are you going to be? And
• 59:29
  he was doing it gonna be like a two B game on Thursday, like
• 59:31
  Coop Bill Friday Harbor or something like that. And they said, and I'll
• 59:35
  be at Linden on Friday. And I said, oh boy, and uh
• 59:38
  getting the beat crew. Yeah, So yeah, it's crazy, man,
• 59:45
  it's gonna be. It's just you know, It's just one of those games.
• 59:50
  It's going to have that feeling in the air that like you can feel
• 59:52
  like you could touch it. That's one of those games you could park like
• 59:57
  three blocks away when you get out of your car, you could already you
• 1:00:00
  know. Yeah, and you're if you're getting there at six thirty, you
• 1:00:02
  will be parking three blocks away. Yeah. I mean, if you're getting
• 1:00:05
  there six thirty on Wednesday, you might be parking three fox away. Oh
• 1:00:08
  it's gonna be great. Yeah, great. Uh, this is this is
• 1:00:13
  the game, Tyler. I mean, this is the one everybody you know.
• 1:00:15
  I mean, like you said, even Mikayla had a circle, you
• 1:00:17
  know what I mean, like, yeah, yeah, she was ready.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah yeah. And that's the thing. I've had so many people asking me
• 1:00:22
  for weeks, like hey, is it gonna end up being those two?
• 1:00:24
  And I keep telling them like I see no reason not to believe it,
• 1:00:28
  Like I just I just don't. And you know, frankly, I don't
• 1:00:31
  know what way this game is going to go. I really don't. I
• 1:00:35
  Yeah, you know, there's so much hype around it and everything, and
• 1:00:38
  I think we all know that Lyndon doesn't feed into hype normally, you know
• 1:00:45
  what I mean, Like, that's a team that they come out and they
• 1:00:49
  don't know the difference between playing Burlington Edison or I mean, they could be
• 1:00:53
  playing Kopville, you know what I mean, And or they could be playing
• 1:00:57
  the best team in the state, or they could be playing you know,
• 1:01:00
  Bosco out of California. You now, they're even kill you know, they
• 1:01:04
  come out, they do their thing, and they you know, pretty much
• 1:01:07
  for the most part, they get the job done. So it's gonna be
• 1:01:10
  interesting to see that being said, Tyler, Tyler's got some nuggets, man,
• 1:01:15
  I heard you got a nugget about this game. Yeah, well,
• 1:01:20
  you know, all time, it's pretty one sided. Linden is twenty three
• 1:01:23
  and three against Anti Chordus all time. Wow, I'm actually surprised they've played
• 1:01:27
  that mini games. That's a lot of games. Yeah, well, they
• 1:01:30
  were both in the Northwest League together, the old two way North Northwest League
• 1:01:35
  back in the nineties. Ana Chortus was in the Northwest League forever and then
• 1:01:38
  Linden joined in ninety three. So gotcha. The last time the Seahawks came
• 1:01:43
  out on top was twenty years ago. So it's been it's been a it's
• 1:01:46
  been a while, But let's talk about the nineteen ninety nine matchup really quickly.
• 1:01:51
  In that game, London won. Linden won twenty two to nineteen.
• 1:01:55
  Twenty twenty two to nineteen, okay, yeah, so it's a really good
• 1:01:59
  game. It was a late touchdown pass. Also in that game, Linden
• 1:02:02
  had a receiver that cut ten passes. He became only the second player in
• 1:02:07
  school history to have double digit receptions in one game. Ryan Vandiste was the
• 1:02:12
  other one, and he did it twice in the year prior. He was
• 1:02:15
  an All state receiver played at Western. He's still one of the greatest wide
• 1:02:17
  receivers in Walking County history. But you want to guess who that receiver was
• 1:02:22
  that cut ten passes, Well, don't do it to me. Yeah,
• 1:02:30
  yeah, yeah, you got it right. Oh my. You know,
• 1:02:32
  as soon as you started talking about it, as soon as you said in
• 1:02:35
  nineteen ninety nine, I just kind of went on crap, Like I just
• 1:02:38
  I kind of knew where I was going. It's so easy. Like when
• 1:02:44
  I'm looking up nuggets and I'm like Linden and a chortus, the first thing
• 1:02:45
  I go to is I wonder what whitman did look at that. He's a
• 1:02:49
  great game. I'm like, here we go, this would be great.
• 1:02:53
  What did Whitman do it? Ah? You know what, let's give the
• 1:02:57
  guy a little slap on the back there. Huh No, he didn't catch
• 1:03:00
  the game winning pass, but got ten passes in that one, so wow.
• 1:03:06
  Yeah. I mean, you know what they say, Beauty's in the
• 1:03:08
  eye of the beholder. Oh yeah, I mean, Tyler, this is
• 1:03:14
  it though. I mean, this is a this is a big game.
• 1:03:15
  I mean, you know what's wild to think too, is like the loser
• 1:03:19
  of this game could end up just being like the three seed, you know
• 1:03:22
  what I mean. I was it's amazing because you I was just gonna say
• 1:03:24
  something about that because you brought it up. And I'll be honest, I
• 1:03:29
  was not. It hadn't even been on my radar. Wondering what the seeding
• 1:03:34
  would be after this game. Yeah, I didn't even I didn't even think
• 1:03:37
  about that because you know, they're both probably you know, very highly respected,
• 1:03:42
  so you're playing each other, well, obviously, the winner of that
• 1:03:45
  game could very well be the number one seed. And and I was actually
• 1:03:49
  just going to ask you if it's let's say, it's a really close game
• 1:03:52
  which it probably will be the loser is probably going to be seated high Correct.
• 1:03:57
  Yeah, well, here's the thing. So when you just talk about
• 1:03:59
  teams around the state, Let's say, Anna Chordis is one of I believe
• 1:04:03
  only two teams that are still undefeated. The other one is Tumbwater. But
• 1:04:08
  you know that plays a lot into it. Yeah. Yeah, you go
• 1:04:11
  down to the the Greater Saint Helens League and everybody's kind of beating each other.
• 1:04:16
  I don't think there's an undefeated team even in league down in the Greater
• 1:04:19
  Saint Helens. I'm pretty sure Ridgefield and Woodland are both five and one.
• 1:04:24
  And then and I think they both lost a non conference game. I think
• 1:04:28
  Woodland or Ridgefield lost to w F West or not WFS. Maybe it was
• 1:04:32
  WFS, I can't remember, but you know, and then high Line they
• 1:04:36
  have a loss to Kennedy Catholic. But you know, Highlight is one of
• 1:04:41
  those interesting ones where you know, they maybe don't get a lot of respect
• 1:04:45
  because the league that they play in is just so poor, you know,
• 1:04:50
  but they beat up everybody, you know, and they're playing they're actually playing
• 1:04:56
  another team this week. I believe they're playing rent In who is also undeated
• 1:04:59
  in the league, you know, and then you go across the mountains and
• 1:05:03
  uh, you know, over to the Is it the Greater Saint Helens or
• 1:05:09
  Greatest Volkan? I think I think it is greatest Spokan two A. Now
• 1:05:11
  it used to be the great Northern League, but I think it's the Greater
• 1:05:15
  Spokane League. And you know, Clarkson's good. West Valley of yet of
• 1:05:19
  Spokane is good. But they both have a couple of losses. Yeah,
• 1:05:25
  I mean. The only other team I think that is that is even kind
• 1:05:28
  of in the conversation again is North Kitsapp and they have one loss to Tumwater.
• 1:05:34
  Oh, you know, they're kind of that situation of yeah, now
• 1:05:38
  they took it on the chin pretty good from Tumwater this year. It was
• 1:05:40
  like a twenty one point loss or somewhere around that in that range. But
• 1:05:45
  you know, it's a little bit different. I mean, I don't know,
• 1:05:45
  this is interesting. Oh excuse me. Enam Claus also undefeated, I
• 1:05:49
  think, oh okay, yeah, Enam Claus undefeated and they're really good.
• 1:05:54
  Yeah, I've heard Clause really really good. So that's the thing, when
• 1:05:57
  you start talking about it, it's kind of it's it's enom Claw undefeated.
• 1:06:01
  It's uh, you know, and a cordu is undefeated, it's Tumwater undefeated.
• 1:06:05
  And really it's it's Linden undefeated. I mean, it really is.
• 1:06:09
  Like the one loss to Ferndale is a good loss and everybody knows it,
• 1:06:14
  you know. And then Ording has had had a really good season, and
• 1:06:18
  you know, north Kidsap has the one loss, so there is a lot
• 1:06:21
  of oh wait, you know what, Lessener's probably undefeated too, well,
• 1:06:27
  oh yeah they are one a that's right. Yeah, yeah, I start
• 1:06:29
  talking myself in circles here. I start thinking about other teams that could be
• 1:06:33
  undefeated, and all of a sudden boom. But yeah. So that's the
• 1:06:35
  thing is when you look at it, though, and you say, what
• 1:06:41
  is the best league? Okay, it's the Northwest Conference. What you know,
• 1:06:45
  who are the two teams? Okay, they're both undefeated in the league
• 1:06:46
  play. So unless one team loses really bad, you know, unless somehow
• 1:06:55
  this is one of those games that just randomly gets away from either team and
• 1:06:59
  it's it's a thirty four to ten game, you know, I would think
• 1:07:04
  both teams are going to be I mean absolutely in the top five both teams
• 1:07:11
  are getting a top five. Well, that sounds like there's five teams that
• 1:07:14
  are kind of head and shoulders above everybody else. Yes, And here's the
• 1:07:16
  thing you have to remember is they're going to do their best to kind of
• 1:07:20
  keep Linden and Ana Chordis away from each other. Sure, in theory,
• 1:07:25
  they're supposed to kind of keep them away from each other and tell the finals.
• 1:07:29
  Right, So if one of the two is a number one seed,
• 1:07:33
  well then one of them's a two to three, or you know, if
• 1:07:36
  they're a five, then they're meeting in the semis, you know what I
• 1:07:40
  mean. So it's kind of one of those things. Now, the other
• 1:07:42
  thing that they're supposed to not try to do is project you know, so
• 1:07:45
  you kind of don't want to do it. But at the same time,
• 1:07:48
  if Anti Chordus and or excuse me, and of course and Linden play again,
• 1:07:53
  it better not be in the semi finals, you know what I mean.
• 1:07:56
  It just it just better not be, you know. So, I
• 1:07:59
  don't know, it's going to be interesting. It's going to be really interesting
• 1:08:00
  to see what happens. I mean, if if this is a close game,
• 1:08:03
  if this is like a one score game, it's it'll be really interesting
• 1:08:06
  to see because you know, enam Claw looks like a team that could be,
• 1:08:12
  you know, potential state champions here and we all know what happened to
• 1:08:15
  them in the semi finals last year. Well yeah, right, so does
• 1:08:19
  that hurt them? You know it now, Tyler? It shouldn't hurt them,
• 1:08:24
  right because that's last year's team. Does not matter, right, But
• 1:08:28
  if there's people that were on the committee last year and they're on it again
• 1:08:30
  this year, yeah, I mean just trust me when I say this.
• 1:08:33
  I've seen it. I've seen it happen. I've I've been in those meetings
• 1:08:36
  where people go, yeah, you know, but you know, no,
• 1:08:40
  no, that does not matter. That was last year's team does not matter.
• 1:08:43
  Like you cannot look at that and think anything, you know, you
• 1:08:45
  just can't, you know. So, I don't know, it's going to
• 1:08:48
  be really interesting, I know that much. And it's it's one that you
• 1:08:54
  know, we've got a big game this weekend for our seating purposes, but
• 1:08:57
  that's one that as soon as our game is over, yeah you better believe.
• 1:09:00
  Actually we haven't gott into the pick'ems yet, but I got a feeling
• 1:09:04
  that win or lose I'm gonna I'm gonna hear about it, you know what
• 1:09:08
  I mean. So sure that'll be uh, I'm sure. I'm sure I'll
• 1:09:12
  know the score as soon as our game is over and I look at my
• 1:09:14
  phone. Well, here's something interesting too, that you were talking about the
• 1:09:17
  seating committee and that you don't want Ani Couruse and Linden to be playing each
• 1:09:20
  like possibly playing each other for until deep in playoffs. You would have to
• 1:09:26
  say, it's the same thing for Towater North Kitsap, correct, Yes and
• 1:09:30
  no. Are there not in the same league? Yes, and after that's
• 1:09:33
  that's kind of the difference there. Now again, you you would like to
• 1:09:39
  try to avoid that if you can, only because they played each other this
• 1:09:43
  year something, Yeah, only because they played each other. But that's also
• 1:09:45
  something that when we've talked about it in the past, well, when we
• 1:09:47
  talked about it when I was in the committee before, they talked about it
• 1:09:50
  almost more as like, hey, in rounds one, let's make sure that
• 1:09:54
  it's not a team that they've played before. You know. Now, if
• 1:09:58
  it's conference, then you're definitely not playing in round right, you know,
• 1:10:00
  And then they even try to avoid it in round two, you know,
• 1:10:04
  in round three with the semi finals, it's a little bit tougher. I
• 1:10:08
  mean, you know the first year, first year, second year, second
• 1:10:11
  year of the seeding committee twenty nineteen or the third year, no, second
• 1:10:14
  year, whatever it is that in twenty nineteen you ended up with three Kinko
• 1:10:18
  schools in the four A semi finals and so you didn't have a choice.
• 1:10:23
  But it was perfectly fine because you're in the semi finals and it's like,
• 1:10:26
  right, yeah, it's a little bit harder. And that's again where you
• 1:10:30
  want to avoid trying to project winners. Yeah right, well yeah, And
• 1:10:34
  the reason I bring it up is because you know you want to. You
• 1:10:39
  know, there's there's two sides of the bracket. Basically, it's kind of
• 1:10:42
  how you're I'm looking at it, right, and so you have to separate
• 1:10:45
  Anti course in London year you want to, and you want to separate North
• 1:10:49
  Kitsap and Tumwater, which leaves Enumclaw to be on one of either of those
• 1:10:53
  sides of brackets, which makes you feel that there's going to be a quarterfinal
• 1:10:57
  game that is going to be amazing. Yeah, well the four to five
• 1:11:00
  that makes sense. Yeah, the four to five game in two A could
• 1:11:03
  be unbelievable, could be a like a yeah exactly, That's what I'm saying.
• 1:11:08
  So it's like, that's why when you have five really good teams that
• 1:11:10
  are potential, you know, state championship type teams. Yeah, then it's
• 1:11:14
  like, holy cow, that means that there will be probably a quarterfinal game
• 1:11:18
  that's going to be outstanding. Yeah. And that's where it gets like,
• 1:11:21
  man, that's why, that's why this game is so important. You got
• 1:11:25
  to win this one so you don't so you don't have that possibility of being
• 1:11:27
  a four or a five seeds. It's just it's awesome. This is this
• 1:11:31
  is what makes this stuff fun, you know. Yeah. I mean you
• 1:11:33
  and I could literally do a podcast where we probably just sit and talk about
• 1:11:36
  everything that we're talking about right now. I know you know what I mean.
• 1:11:40
  Like it's actually and and I don't know if I've ever told you this
• 1:11:43
  before, but you remember the one I used to do with Matthew Evans,
• 1:11:45
  Yes, from Evans Rankings that used to be the highest rated I guess you
• 1:11:50
  would say podcast that I did most downloaded. Yeah, I mean it used
• 1:11:56
  to get unstinking believable numbers because people they loved the insight that we had into
• 1:12:01
  that stuff, you know, because we had been in those committees. You
• 1:12:04
  know, for the first two years. I was in literally every single committee
• 1:12:08
  that that happened. Yeah, you believing one going to another, one walking
• 1:12:12
  in doing this. And there was one time I was I was I was
• 1:12:15
  in the what was it, I was in the four A committee meeting,
• 1:12:18
  and I believe it might have been Dan Teeter walked in and said to me,
• 1:12:21
  like, hey, we need you over here in two A and I
• 1:12:25
  said, yeah, give me one second, and I stood up, and
• 1:12:28
  right before I walked out, I said one last thing to the four A
• 1:12:30
  committee and then I went over to two A. And when I came back,
• 1:12:33
  four A had taken my suggestion and run with it, you know.
• 1:12:36
  And so then I came back in. I looked at it and I said,
• 1:12:39
  wow, great, like this is exactly what it should be like.
• 1:12:43
  This is a I said something, yeah, this is a great looking bracket
• 1:12:45
  right here, and you know, boom, away we go, you know.
• 1:12:48
  But that's that's what it was. I mean, it was pretty crazy.
• 1:12:50
  It was a lot of fun, obviously, but it was it was
• 1:12:53
  crazy. But that was also, you know, part of the reason I
• 1:12:56
  was on those is because I was going to sixty games a year, you
• 1:12:59
  know, and I wasn't just going to four a I wasn't just going to
• 1:13:03
  everybody. Yeah, one time, Tyler, this is how crazy I am.
• 1:13:06
  One time, ul My Racoolee Heartline and Odessa eight man football got moved
• 1:13:14
  from Friday to Thursday, and they were and I had him at number one
• 1:13:17
  and number two, and I was like, hell with it, I'm going
• 1:13:21
  Yeah, yeah, I was. I was actually going to go to a
• 1:13:24
  game where I wanted to see two teams. And then it was like I
• 1:13:28
  have to go to this game, like I have to do it. And
• 1:13:30
  I drove all the way over there. It was three and a half hours
• 1:13:32
  each way. I got home, had an eight am meeting in Seattle,
• 1:13:38
  and then drove all the way out to Royal right after. Oh yeah,
• 1:13:42
  and then if I can remember right, I came home, went to like
• 1:13:44
  two games on Saturday, and then had Sunday a Seahawks game. Maybe yeah,
• 1:13:48
  no, I think Sunday was a Seahawks game. And then Monday there
• 1:13:51
  were tiebreakers down in uh in Vancouver, so I drove all the way down
• 1:13:57
  there and went to like two tie breakers. Oh it was the craziest five
• 1:14:00
  days of my life. But you know me, Tyler, I was loving
• 1:14:02
  it, like, oh the way the element, Yeah, the way that
• 1:14:04
  you look at Bellingham and Meridian is the way I look at road trips and
• 1:14:10
  doing all. Now I will say this, I'm not doing anymore and I
• 1:14:13
  love everything about it. Yeah, I'm I've said to somebody the other day,
• 1:14:17
  I'm way more tired than I am than I ever have been because I'm
• 1:14:20
  working way more. But I love it so much more. It is so
• 1:14:25
  much more fun. Uh yeah, Tyler anachordus eight No Lindon seven and one.

• 1:14:53
  We've got Randy Small's weather forecast. Watcom County weather is the name. It's
• 1:14:59
  Facebook dot com backslash walkam County weather, or it's wacom County wx dot com.
• 1:15:03
  That is his website. So let's go to Randy Small and let's get
• 1:15:06
  the weather forecast four of the weekend. Hello, Walkeam County football fans,
• 1:15:12
  this is Randy Small of Wakam County Weather and we have a two evening slate
• 1:15:16
  of games coming up Thursday night and Friday night. And what is this the
• 1:15:21
  second to last regular or week of the regular season coming up. It's hard
• 1:15:26
  to believe. While I'm recording this Tuesday afternoon, it is pouring rain and
• 1:15:30
  a nice northeast wind blowing and a lot cooler than it's been. But good
• 1:15:34
  news. I believe both Thursday night and Friday night are going to be just
• 1:15:39
  nice weather. There's a slight chance of rain on Thursday night, can't rule
• 1:15:43
  that out. Temperatures are going to be crisp and cold, especially from what
• 1:15:47
  we've seen over the previous seven eight weeks here in September and October. This
• 1:15:53
  will be the coldest night. They're going to be probably both nights freezing.
• 1:15:57
  I'm not sure that by the time the game has done it will be actually
• 1:15:59
  freezing, but it's it's going to be in the thirties I would guess by
• 1:16:02
  the time the game is done, if not upper thirties when the game start
• 1:16:05
  Thursday night and Friday night, we just have a cold air mass overhead,
• 1:16:09
  so but clear for sure. Friday night. Thursday night, still a little
• 1:16:14
  iffy on that, but probably overall is going to be nice. Win shouldn't
• 1:16:17
  be an issue either. We'll get prepared for the next couple of weeks looking
• 1:16:23
  ahead at that weather. We'll let you know for the last week of the
• 1:16:26
  regular season, and then we'll start the playoffs looking forward to it. Have
• 1:16:29
  a great week already. Thank you Randy for the weather forecast. Watcomme County

• 1:17:47
  Anyway. Wacom County WX dot com. That's the website for Randy Small.
• 1:17:51
  Thanks again for doing that. Oh, the guest picker Tyler, Yes,
• 1:17:56
  we got to talk about the pick'ms this week. Yeah, the guest
• 1:17:58
  picker long Locks of one land in Hatchet is our guest picker this week.
• 1:18:04
  Uh and do yourself a favor. Head over to the uh well once it's
• 1:18:10
  available, But head over to the social media's and find or I guess you
• 1:18:15
  could go to you do put it on the inside the preview too, right,
• 1:18:18
  it's in the it's in the post, yeah, in the preview.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah, you'll see it on Instagram and Twitter as well. Yeah, so
• 1:18:24
  head over and look it up. Because the picture of land and Hatchet,
• 1:18:29
  I don't know for sure, but he might be Jo Consensus, his son.
• 1:18:34
  He's not right next to j He's not not because I know Bill,
• 1:18:39
  Yeah, some blood relations there somewhere. Yeah, my goodness, does he
• 1:18:43
  look like Jo Consent. It's it's unbelievable. That being said, Tyler,
• 1:18:45
  everybody is picking Cedar, Woollie, Knoksack, Valley, Lynden, Christian Seahome,
• 1:18:49
  and Ferndale. There are a couple of uh, you know, fights
• 1:18:55
  about to happen here. Tyler and Nate are picking Meridian, which means the
• 1:18:59
  rest of us are picking Bellingham and then uh, center's only centers only.
• 1:19:05
  Although I mean, if I'm being completely honest here, it's kind of more
• 1:19:10
  of like a hater and me Landon and myself we are picking Ana Chordus to
• 1:19:15
  beat Lynden. Now that being said, it usually means good things for Linden
• 1:19:20
  because I pretty much always lose when I pick against him, as far as
• 1:19:24
  Landon goes. Pretty sure that's just a Ferndale thing, because I believe didn't
• 1:19:29
  Jake Mason picked against Ferndale or against Linden this year too. Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:19:34
  was it Segar Woollie? I think maybe? Yeah, it probably doesn't
• 1:19:38
  matter who it was. No, it doesn't actually, yeah right, yeah,
• 1:19:42
  I mean he would have picked he would have picked Linden to lose the
• 1:19:46
  you know what I mean, like although this year, you never know,
• 1:19:49
  a couple of years ago, I mean was pretty good this year, Okay,
• 1:19:56
  they would he would he would have picked him to lose to uh lummy
• 1:20:00
  Connor, Yeah, Connor Bellevue Christian. Yeah, although I think I saw
• 1:20:06
  that they won the other day. Oh, I know, did I text
• 1:20:09
  you about it? I was like what you're like? Yeah, I know,
• 1:20:12
  I got a random text w Christian one. Yeah, like what the
• 1:20:15
  yeah? Anyway, yeah that is the uh and land and Hatchet getting some
• 1:20:21
  playing time there, you dub. I mean it's funny, Tyler, because
• 1:20:26
  I was doing the I was doing the public address announcing for you Dub hockey
• 1:20:30
  on Saturday. Yeah, and you and and then I went upstairs into the
• 1:20:34
  restaurant and I was watching the end of the University of Washington game, and
• 1:20:38
  like, right as I turned it on, the first thing I see is
• 1:20:41
  a replay, like a slow motion replaying in the background. I see this
• 1:20:45
  big, old, burly looking dude with long hair running down the field in
• 1:20:48
  the background, and it's like kind of half blurry, and I'm like,
• 1:20:51
  oh my god, that's Landon Hatchet. And then when you and I talked,
• 1:20:55
  one of the first things you said to me was like, hey,
• 1:20:56
  do you see Landon Hatchet? Like you can see me in the background of
• 1:20:58
  this water play? And I was like, I saw that play it.
• 1:21:00
  Yeah, yeah, you know, I've I've been and I don't know if
• 1:21:05
  this is trueor not. I've seen multiple reports of this. Again, journalism
• 1:21:09
  went one, but he might become the first offensive lineman in school history to
• 1:21:15
  not red shirt as a true freshman. Wow. Well yeah, I mean
• 1:21:18
  if he plays more than four games. But like, you know, like
• 1:21:21
  I'm thinking, I don't know if that's im. I'm like, well,
• 1:21:25
  thinking, Kennedy had to have played as a true freshman, but I'm looking
• 1:21:27
  it up right now. No, he read shirted as a freshman too.
• 1:21:30
  Yeah. Well, here's the thing. So you know, obviously, back
• 1:21:31
  in the day, they used to red shirt a ton of guys, right,
• 1:21:34
  But also you have to remember that if you played one snap fact,
• 1:21:40
  then you lost your red shirt, you know what I mean. So I
• 1:21:42
  would find it hard to believe that that nobody had done it. I'm just
• 1:21:46
  talking offensive lineman. Yeah, yeah, no, I know, but I
• 1:21:48
  would well, yeah, obviously, but I would find it hard to believe
• 1:21:53
  that at no point in history did you know, anybody burn their red shirt
• 1:21:58
  or you know whatever. But also so if there's one position in college football
• 1:22:02
  that it is incredibly hard to step into and play right away because of your
• 1:22:09
  physical development, it's offensive line. I mean, if I'm being completely honest,
• 1:22:15
  in four A as a freshman or even as a sophomore, most kids
• 1:22:19
  are not ready to go physically, you know what I mean. And so
• 1:22:24
  you think that jump, that same jump you know now into college football from
• 1:22:29
  senior in high school to college, that's really tough to do. And I'll
• 1:22:32
  tell you what I said it. I don't know if I said it here
• 1:22:35
  or if I said it with Brandon Huffman, but I said it multiple times,
• 1:22:38
  and I thought Landon Hatchett was ready to step in and go right away.
• 1:22:41
  Yeah, I said it, yet you said it to me, you
• 1:22:44
  said it. Yeah, I truly believed he was. He was ready to
• 1:22:46
  go. I mean, obviously, you know, playing in a in Ferndale's
• 1:22:49
  offense, maybe pass pro is not you know, his specialty. But at
• 1:22:56
  center, you're not typically in one on in a lot of one on one
• 1:23:00
  battles. You know, even if even if you're running against an odd man
• 1:23:03
  front right where you've got a guy right on top of you, usually one
• 1:23:06
  of the guards is going to be able to help you at least a little
• 1:23:09
  bit, right, yep. But also I felt like the work that he
• 1:23:13
  put in in the off season, he was he was more than capable of
• 1:23:16
  pass pro. I mean, he just was. You know, there's not
• 1:23:19
  a lot of guys. I think I've said it before also is he's the
• 1:23:24
  second best center I've ever seen in person in high school. And that was
• 1:23:27
  behind David di Castro, who was pretty dang good. Made his way to
• 1:23:31
  the NFL and was what a couple time All Pro or something, And I
• 1:23:36
  mean he played probably damn near ten years in the league, I would say,
• 1:23:40
  before he had some toe problems of all things. Think about that,
• 1:23:43
  right, Well, you know, rough, tough, spintan and Hatchett takes
• 1:23:46
  care of his feet though, because he watches him in the shower. Remember
• 1:23:49
  that, Yeah, I do remember that. So I think I think he's
• 1:23:53
  got it. It'll be just fine. Yeah, he's an interesting cat,
• 1:23:56
  that's for sure. Yeah. Uh, Tyler, let's get into the fantasy
• 1:24:00
  draft here, and I'm on a hot streak. I've won four straight,
• 1:24:03
  which means you've picked first four times in a row. Well, no,
• 1:24:08
  I guess this would be the fourth time in a row. So Tyler,
• 1:24:12
  go ahead, pick first. Well this might surprise a few people, but
• 1:24:15
  I've been just I just every single game he goes out and does an amazing
• 1:24:20
  job and scores big points and has big touchdowns. So I'm gonna go with
• 1:24:25
  Skyler Winternh. It's my first pick in the running as a running back at
• 1:24:29
  Nuksack Valley, he just every game. If you just look at those box
• 1:24:32
  scores, it's like eight carries for one hundred and sixty yards, five carries
• 1:24:36
  for one hundred and thirty yards. It's like, what is this receiving?
• 1:24:40
  No? No, no, this is rushing. And I think he's just
• 1:24:44
  on a tear right now. He's on a mission to prove how good of
• 1:24:46
  a running back he is, and and he is. He's doing it.
• 1:24:51
  Man, He's averaging over twelve yards of carry this this year. And it's
• 1:24:57
  not like he's you know, you know getting him and that you know at
• 1:25:00
  the end of the game. He's doing this against you know, topen talent.
• 1:25:03
  So uh, yeah, I'm gonna go Skyler winter running back already.
• 1:25:11
  Yes, that is an interesting one on a few fronts here, because you
• 1:25:16
  know, kind of got into this whole idea of us picking offensive line first,
• 1:25:19
  and so Tyler, I'm gonna I want to go ahead and pick Nooksack
• 1:25:23
  Valley's offensive line. So I pretty much get most of the points from Skyler
• 1:25:28
  Winterard and anything from Colton Lentz and anything from anybody elseas game. Yeah.
• 1:25:32
  Yeah. And then I'm gonna go to the defensive side of the ball here.
• 1:25:40
  Yeah, I'm gonna go to the defensive side of the ball, and
• 1:25:43
  I'm going to take a guy that I think is going to get a lot
• 1:25:45
  of a lot of opportunities here. I'm gonna take Jeremiah right in the front
• 1:25:50
  seven. Well, that's not bad pick two time, you know, player
• 1:25:55
  of the week on defense, Right, Well, let's go for three,
• 1:26:00
  baby, which you know how you know how it is made it easy graphic
• 1:26:04
  wise, very easy graphic wise. All you do is basically changing the stats
• 1:26:09
  and the and the week and and the week. Yeah, it was kind
• 1:26:12
  of nice. Maybe that's why you did it, were you not? Why?
• 1:26:15
  No? No, his numbers were very deserving. That's yeah, it
• 1:26:18
  was crazy. Okay, Well, okay, I'm gonna look at defense here,
• 1:26:26
  and I am going to take no. Xac Valley's defense. They you
• 1:26:30
  know, they haven't been on the field in a while, and they're hungry
• 1:26:34
  and uh, they got all the hunting out of their system and they're ready
• 1:26:40
  to play some football again. And this is they're just they're very opportunistic and
• 1:26:45
  nobody they it's really hard to move the ball in them, especially on the
• 1:26:47
  ground. And then I'm gonna stick around on the defense a little bit.
• 1:26:55
  You picked a front seven guys, so I'm going to pick back seven and
• 1:26:58
  I'm going to take Hud the sophomore. Uh, he's just been a machine.
• 1:27:03
  Like we talked about it in the last podcast. He's worked himself into
• 1:27:08
  the starting lineup and he's this is a really talented secondary and he's not that
• 1:27:15
  he's giving them zero reason to ever take them out. He just gets better
• 1:27:17
  better every week. And and uh, I really like what Hudson F does.
• 1:27:21
  He's the smallest guy on the field. It does not matter. So
• 1:27:25
  I'm gonna go Hudson F in the back seven from sea him. Now,
• 1:27:28
  hold on just one second here, Tyler. Oh good, you told me
• 1:27:31
  he has worked himself into the starting lineup. Well, he hard worked during
• 1:27:36
  practice and he got into the starting lineup. He wasn't starting when the season
• 1:27:40
  started. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So when did he start?
• 1:27:42
  When was his first start? I want to say it was like week four
• 1:27:47
  maybe what the guy's third in this in the county and tackles, well,
• 1:27:53
  he'd get tackles on special teams or he'd come you're not getting enough, right?
• 1:27:58
  Yeah, no, I know that's on believable. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:28:00
  Like he like he Yeah, he's been awesome. See this is like
• 1:28:04
  insider information here, Tyler. Well, it's not my homework. I do
• 1:28:09
  my homework hasn't been helping. Well, I guess technically I do my homework
• 1:28:12
  too. If I knew that he was third in the county. Yeah that's
• 1:28:15
  true. Yeah, all right. So you've gone running back and defense and
• 1:28:19
  back seven. I've gone O line and front seven. So I'm gonna go
• 1:28:25
  I want to go quarterback and receiver this round. I am, well,
• 1:28:30
  let's get a little crazy here, Tyler. I don't do this very often.
• 1:28:33
  I'm gonna take Jeremiah Wright. Is there an echo? I'm gonna take
• 1:28:41
  Jeremiah right, yeah, at quarterback. And so I've got him in the
• 1:28:45
  front seven and at quarterback. Now, Tyler, does he kick extra points
• 1:28:49
  or anything? Because I might want to take him a kick or two.
• 1:28:53
  He probably could. He punts, so I wouldn't be surprised. But you
• 1:28:56
  don't get points. No, you don't get points, but I he does.
• 1:29:01
  He does. Sounds like a T shirt points for punts. Sounds like
• 1:29:04
  a charity. Yeah right, but uh, you know he could. I
• 1:29:09
  mean, he's he's he's a good athlete. I'm gonna go also here at
• 1:29:14
  receiver. I like this one. I feel good about it this week,
• 1:29:19
  especially I'm going big play Andre Watson. That's what I'm doing at receiver.
• 1:29:27
  Yeah, he's one of those guys that we've picked a lot this year.
• 1:29:30
  I know I've picked him at least twice, maybe three times, and I
• 1:29:33
  feel like this is my second time picking up. Yeah, it's just man,
• 1:29:38
  he just doesn't he just doesn't have bad off weeks. Yeah, and
• 1:29:42
  and this is a game where I think both teams are gonna throw the ball
• 1:29:44
  a lot. And you know, we just heard Randy Small's weather forecast and
• 1:29:48
  he says, for you know, Friday night's gonna be you know, it's
• 1:29:51
  not gonna it'll be cold, but it's not gonna rain. And I think
• 1:29:55
  that I think that can really help the passing game. So it's a good
• 1:29:59
  pick. I am gonna go with kicker. We haven't picked a kicker yet,
• 1:30:03
  and I'm gonna go with the Boom Boom man Jorgan, Vigor Vigory and
• 1:30:10
  man, I'm just I've been they have been having bad luck with picking kickers.
• 1:30:14
  I pick a kicker who does not play, I pick a kicker that
• 1:30:16
  is sick. So now I'm picking a kicker who hurt his hand. Oh
• 1:30:21
  now it's his hand was two weeks ago. So tell me you're playing Jorgan.
• 1:30:28
  But he didn't kick last week. Well, they didn't play, they
• 1:30:31
  didn't have a game Oh that's right. So he's you know, so you
• 1:30:35
  have plenty of time to see a doctor or a hand specialist. Yeah,
• 1:30:39
  and you know you don't need to use your hands, you know, you
• 1:30:43
  kick an extra points. I think you'd be okay, it's not like they
• 1:30:45
  haven't. He hasn't had one blocked all year, you know, so kicked
• 1:30:49
  when he was hurt. Joey Brown. Oh so you're telling me I could
• 1:30:54
  take Joey Brown at kicker? You can't. Uh. And and knowing our
• 1:31:00
  luck, neither of the guys would kick right, you know. And you
• 1:31:03
  know who can kick is Skyler Winter. Oh so I could take Skyler Winning
• 1:31:09
  a kicker. Yeah yeah, he kicked off after the boom boom went down.
• 1:31:14
  I do have a Brown kicked extra point. I do have a one
• 1:31:15
  game lead here. I mean I can I can play with things a little
• 1:31:20
  bit, you know. Yeah, Well you have a two game lead,
• 1:31:24
  Oh I do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, so oh yeah I could
• 1:31:28
  get a little wild. Well, I guess I already did get a little
• 1:31:30
  wild here. I took terrified right on both sides. Not as wild as
• 1:31:32
  I did last week, though, But you don't paid off, so yeah,
• 1:31:35
  exactly. Uh, And I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Seaholme's
• 1:31:39
  offensive line. I thought that they did really well the last few games,
• 1:31:43
  and that offense is clicking right now. So, like I keep saying,
• 1:31:47
  I think that lake With game is gonna be a shootout, so a lot
• 1:31:49
  of points being scored that can help bolster my points. With the Seahome offensive
• 1:31:54
  line, Well, everything's been picked now, so I guess I can just
• 1:32:00
  go. I guess I'll go defense and just get the defense out of the
• 1:32:03
  way. Let's see here. Uh wow, Yeah, I don't know where
• 1:32:10
  to go defensively, I'm gonna go. You know what, Tyler, I
• 1:32:14
  disagree with you. Lakewood's doing nothing sea Homes defense. I'm on it.
• 1:32:19
  I'm taking Sea Homes defense here. I feel good about the boys. Yeah,
• 1:32:24
  I don't know why, but I do. At least that's enough.
• 1:32:28
  And you know, oh yeah, I didn't think. Well you know what
• 1:32:31
  that as long as he isn't the one getting picking off passes, I'm good.
• 1:32:35
  He hasn't had an interception this year. He's been playing the run a
• 1:32:39
  lot, so perfect. Yeah, oh, give me some interceptions from what
• 1:32:42
  have we got Colby Chambers? Is he out there? Coobe Chambers, Alden,
• 1:32:45
  Jacob and Jacob Watson. Yeah, Braddick Duckworth maybe you know, yeah
• 1:32:49
  coming off the edge. Yeah yeah, I mean uh and Domalquin Sue had
• 1:32:54
  like four interceptions in one year and that was from like a d tackle position.
• 1:32:58
  Yeah, and I I don't think he had fo Hi maybe it was
• 1:33:00
  like two. I know he had one where he ran over Cody Hawkins like
• 1:33:04
  he like stiff armed him and then just like trucked him and like stepped on
• 1:33:06
  his throat. And then I'm gonna go, Let's see. I guess I
• 1:33:12
  can go running back and get that out of the way. Uh. How
• 1:33:16
  about let's see who did I take? Oh? I took Leanna Downey last
• 1:33:18
  week. I'm gonna go with Uh. I'm gonna go with Talan bung Guard.
• 1:33:23
  I feel good about the I feel good about the Golden Eagles this week.
• 1:33:28
  Yeah, that's you know again, we don't know that much about Edmunds
• 1:33:30
  Woodway, but talent bung Guard is one of those guys that just you can
• 1:33:34
  almost pencil him in for some things. Right. He just gets yard He's
• 1:33:38
  leading the county and rushing. He gets yards, he gets touchdowns. He
• 1:33:41
  can catch a little bit out of the backfield and leading in the game,
• 1:33:45
  right, or maybe got hurt early in a game. Yeah right, there
• 1:33:49
  was one game where he didn't play very much. Yeah, I think I
• 1:33:51
  picked him that week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what I am
• 1:33:58
  to running backs, you are the kickers exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Last
• 1:34:02
  year you picked a running back and we didn't, and then he wasn't even
• 1:34:05
  on the team anymore. Uh yeah, all right, So I'm gonna go
• 1:34:13
  quarterback and uh and I'm gonna go you know, the numbers aren't huge,
• 1:34:21
  but he has the ability to put up big numbers, and that's Joey Brown.
• 1:34:26
  I feel like I picked him very early on in the year and he
• 1:34:29
  hasn't been really picked since. But they just haven't been throwing the ball very
• 1:34:31
  much. But he's a dual threat guy. I see him breaking a long
• 1:34:34
  run, maybe throwing a long pass. You know, I don't you know.
• 1:34:39
  He might not play all four quarters, but I think he'll put up
• 1:34:41
  good enough numbers before he gives away to his little brother. So I'm gonna
• 1:34:45
  go Joey Brown at quarterback, and then receiver wise, I'm gonna go tight
• 1:34:50
  end, and I am gonna go Bradick Duckworth so uh so we're going OPO
• 1:34:56
  here with Watson and Duckworth and uh and I know Nolan Wright will make the
• 1:35:01
  right decision because his name is Nolan, Right, so you know where to
• 1:35:04
  throw the ball, you know, Tyler, there's you know how like dad
• 1:35:09
  jokes are bad jokes? Yeah, somehow you make them worse. You have
• 1:35:14
  like uncle jokes. No, these are usually good. Yeah, because I'm
• 1:35:17
  an uncle, you're like weird neighbor jokes. I don't even know. Let's
• 1:35:27
  see here, what do I have left? I need uh, I need
• 1:35:30
  kicker and I need back seven. So I'm gonna go Let's see here.
• 1:35:34
  I am. I'm picking Bellingham, right, So I'm gonna go, Yeah,
• 1:35:41
  Bellingham. Yeah, I'll go Bellingham. I'll go. Evan Eisley right,
• 1:35:46
  Yeah, that's a good kicker. Yeah, yeah, he's He's.
• 1:35:49
  I feel like you've picked him a couple of times this year, right,
• 1:35:50
  I have Yeah, he's he's he's pretty automatic. And he's another guy during
• 1:35:56
  the game on the sidelines, he's like, hey, what's up, Tyler.
• 1:35:58
  Yeah, those kickers. I'm starting to get a good connection with those
• 1:36:00
  guys. I had a long talk with Matthew Hayes before the game last week,
• 1:36:04
  and and uh kickers, you know, kickers are quirky and they're fun,
• 1:36:08
  and and uh, yeah, he's a good kid, Tyler. I
• 1:36:12
  just came up with a great idea and we'll talk about it here in a
• 1:36:14
  minute. Actually, we'll talk about when we get off the air, because
• 1:36:15
  I have an idea for something we can do in this offseason. I'm also
• 1:36:19
  gonna go Connor Walker back seven is what I'm going to do here. Oh
• 1:36:24
  yeah, I feel like that guy's playing as good as anybody right now.
• 1:36:27
  Ever since well, he was playing great and then he had that he was
• 1:36:30
  heard. I think he said he heard his hip or something. I can't
• 1:36:32
  remember, but was it last week he came back? Yes, yeah,
• 1:36:38
  and I mean it looks like he hasn't missed a beat on anything. Yeah,
• 1:36:41
  it's you know, I talked about that one play where he came in
• 1:36:44
  and did the you know, like a souplex. Yeah, behind the line
• 1:36:46
  of scrimmage. And then I saw him put up like a hey, watch
• 1:36:49
  my highlight video from La Da Da and that's the first play it showed.
• 1:36:54
  I'm like, yeah, exactly. So, yeah, that's a great pick.
• 1:36:59
  And we both picked him in the past a lot on defense this year
• 1:37:01
  and probably yeah, yeah, and I got to finish it off with a
• 1:37:05
  front seven, and I need to finish strong here. I need some help.
• 1:37:09
  I just I need to come back. I need to get back in
• 1:37:12
  the wind. Call him and John Stremler is is just he's screaming to me.
• 1:37:18
  Pick me and I will get you points and and and I I say
• 1:37:24
  yes, sir to number fifty two because that guy is just a stud.
• 1:37:28
  And you know, coming into the year, I you know, I don't
• 1:37:31
  do the top one hundred list until after the season, but I kind of
• 1:37:35
  base it on Okay, take all the guys that graduated off and move everybody
• 1:37:40
  up. Well, my highest ranked underclassman last year was John Stremler, So
• 1:37:45
  coming into the year, he's you know, he's the guy. Yeah,
• 1:37:49
  and he is has not disappointed. It's been a great season. So uh
• 1:37:55
  so, yeah, I'm gonna go John Stremler front seven. Let's see here.
• 1:37:59
  Quarterbacks, I'm taking Jeremiah Right. You've got Joey Brown running back.
• 1:38:02
  I've got Talon Bunguard. You've got Skyler Wittern at receiver. I went with
• 1:38:09
  Andre Watson. You've got Braddock Duckworth offensive line See Home for you, Nuksack
• 1:38:15
  Valley for me defensively, Knoksack Valley for you, and Sea Home for me.
• 1:38:20
  Yeah. I didn't really think about that one. Yeah, that's kind
• 1:38:24
  of funny. Yeah. Front seven, I've got Jeremiah right, You've got
• 1:38:28
  John Stremler who you just picked. And then back seven Hudson Neff for you,
• 1:38:33
  and Connor Walker for me, and Kicker Boom Boom Vigory for you and
• 1:38:40
  Evan Eisley for me. Tyler, I just realized something. You took all
• 1:38:44
  Sea Home and Knoksack Valley guys, did I really? Yeah? Oh my
• 1:38:49
  goodness, right, am I wrong there? That's crazy. I did not
• 1:38:55
  notice that at all. See, and I spread it around. I've got
• 1:38:58
  knok Sack. I've got Linny christ in Ferndale. Yeah. I mean you
• 1:39:01
  know what, though, Tyler, I'm a man of the people. That's
• 1:39:03
  why they call me the Mayor. Yes, you know I've had that nickname
• 1:39:08
  before. I don't remember who. Oh it was Jake Keeps. Jake Keeps
• 1:39:10
  used to call me that because he said every time we would go to a
• 1:39:13
  high school football game, everywhere he went, everybody knew me. And I
• 1:39:15
  was like, yeah, it's not such a great thing because I don't always
• 1:39:18
  know them. Jake. Yeah, it is kind of weird. It happens
• 1:39:23
  to me too, where it's like hey Tyler, and I'm like hey,
• 1:39:27
  yeah, You're like hey, Bud, Yeah, how's it going on?
• 1:39:29
  Guy? But I do a lot of hey Bud. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:39:30
  You know. What I used to do, and I think I may have
• 1:39:32
  told this before on the on the podcast is when when we would be somewhere
• 1:39:36
  and I would see somebody that, you know, knew me, but I
• 1:39:41
  didn't know them. I would always go, hey, have you ever met
• 1:39:44
  Jake Keeps? And I would never tell Jake who the person was, just
• 1:39:47
  so that person would have to say their name, you know. And there
• 1:39:50
  was probably if I did that fifty times, there might be four or five
• 1:39:57
  of them where they would go, oh, hey, Jake, nice to
• 1:39:59
  me you and never say your name. And then she like, damn,
• 1:40:03
  yeah, yeah, that's a that's a Seinfeld episode. And we talked about
• 1:40:06
  it. Yeah, where Jerry, Jerry's dating a girl and yeah, and
• 1:40:12
  then and and Elaine knows about it, and they're, you know, Jerry
• 1:40:15
  and the girlfriend are in the apartment and Elaane comes up and so she She's
• 1:40:18
  like, Hi, I'm Elane and she goes, oh, Hi, nice
• 1:40:21
  to meet you, and then she walks out. He goes, Lane's like
• 1:40:24
  sorry, I tried. Yeah. Yeah. I used to do that all
• 1:40:28
  the time with Jacu and and and he once we did it a couple of
• 1:40:31
  times, he realized why I was doing, you know exactly. Yeah.
• 1:40:34
  And I've done that with other people too, where like I see somebody walking
• 1:40:39
  from far far away and I, you know, Tyler, I don't know
• 1:40:42
  who this person is. I'm going to introduce you. Don't worry, you
• 1:40:45
  know. So uh anyway, yeah, that is the uh. I guess
• 1:40:48
  that's the whole podcast. We don't have no stickers still, right, No,
• 1:40:53
  yeah, no stickers. And I got my first picture today of someone
• 1:40:58

  Yes, yeah, that was Ferndel. Yea, Yeah, there's a ton
• 1:42:51
  of people there. Yeah. Yeah, I think that was the night that

• 1:43:17
  thing. Isn't that cool? Wait? I think that was the Squalicum diving
• 1:43:20
  team. Where's that at? That's a pretty big facility. It's probably at
• 1:43:25
  Arnie Hannah's Aquatic Center. That's right at you hit a if you hit us
• 1:43:30
  a home run to left center field at Joe Martin Field, which is right
• 1:43:33
  next to Centic Stadium. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, you hit
• 1:43:35
  what if you hit it about if you hit it about eight hundred feet,
• 1:43:39
  it would hit that facility. That's a big I mean for for like,
• 1:43:44
  like high schools don't typically have big Yeah it's not, it's not out of
• 1:43:47
  high school. Yeah yeah no. But what I'm saying is is like,
• 1:43:49
  typically the only time you're at a big facility like that is when you're at
• 1:43:53
  the state championships. You know what i mean, Right, Usually it's just
• 1:43:55
  a high school pool or a local pool that's you know, pretty small.
• 1:43:58
  But yeah, anyway, all right, well let's get out of here.
