  Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome into the Whatcom Preps podcast. This is
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: episode 453, the week five football recap. I am Tyler
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Anderson of Whatcom Preps and let's get right to it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Do you live in Whatcom, Skagit Island or San Juan
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: County and want to become an official? Officiating is a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: great way to give back to your community and ensure
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: our youth have an opportunity.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: To compete in athletics. Go to nwofficials.com to find out
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: how you can get involved. And it's a real thing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, the shortage of officials, it's really causing games
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to get pushed to Thursdays and Saturdays. And it just
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: happened recently. So the Linden Christian hosting Archbishop Murphy, it
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: will now be a Thursday night game this upcoming week.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And it's because of the official shortage. So even if
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: you know somebody who you think would be good at
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it or would be interested, let them know, nwofficials.com.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: And that's how you get started. And and you go
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: from there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So, um, it's a good way to, you know, be
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: close to the action and stay in shape and get
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: paid for it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's, and you learn a lot
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: about the game. I mean, you learn, there's.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So many rules that people think they know until you
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: learn how to become an official. And then there's like, Oh,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that there's this, and that could happen. And there's so
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: much communication that goes between the officials. I'm right down
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: there at field level and especially when I'm down when
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: there's a play close to the goal line and the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: back judge and how they're communicating.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: To the side judges.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: It's pretty impressive, all the stuff that they have to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: keep in mind there. So check that out. Well, let's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: take a look at the games that happened over the weekend.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: No Thursday games, but there was a Saturday game. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to start right there on Friday night with
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a game down in Mount Vernon as Ferndale went south
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to take on the Bulldogs. and got the win 42
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to 25 up their record to four and one on
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the season. And this one was, this was a little
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: closer than I think the golden Eagles would have wanted.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Elliot Lenson picks up a couple of touchdown runs early
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to make it 14, zero after one quarter, but Mount Vernon,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: they threw three touchdown passes in the second quarter alone and, um,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: ended up taking the lead.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Uh, Wyatt Broyles did score a touchdown, um.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And to make it a 21-18 Ferndale lead at the half.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But Mount Vernon took the lead back with their fourth
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass of the game. And then from there on out,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: it was the Elliott Lenson show who had a 21-yard
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: touchdown run that was an incredible run and got some
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: really good blocking down the right side by those tight ends,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Chance Hatchett and Hank Whitaker. And then he made some
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: moves of his own, broke some tackles, and then did
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a back flop into the end zone. That gave Ferndale
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the lead at the end of the third quarter. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: then Elliott Lenson had a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: which really got everything going to give them a two-score lead.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And then he had another 19-yard touchdown run at the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: end to put the game away. Ferndale as a team
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: ran for 348 yards on 48 carries. Elliott Lenson himself,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: 200 yards on 20 carries. He has now surpassed 1,000
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: yards on the season. Wyatt Broyles, 10 carries for 60 yards.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Johnny Mahaffey, four carries for 55 yards. They also held
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon to just 39 yards on the ground, which
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: is an incredible number. Mount Vernon did go to the air, though,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: 251 yards passing in those four touchdowns, but Ferndale did
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a great job. Braden Hendrickson blocked another extra point. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I've lost track of how many blocked extra points he has.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: It's either three or four.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: He is having a tremendous year. Whoever's playing right guard
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: against Ferndale on extra points, be careful because he is
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a Mack truck coming through that line. He just bursts
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: through there, pushes the guy back, and then puts the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: big paw up and blocks the extra point.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: He does it all the time.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So good luck to you if you are the right
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: guard in the PAT. against Ferndale, because you're going to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: have to deal with some of that. Defensively, it was
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a great game by a lot of the individual players here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Brock Hoyt, eight and a half tackles, two tackles for loss,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: playing that nickelback spot, which is just perfect for him
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: because he's got the athletic ability to cover guys down
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the field, but then he has the physicality to make
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: plays closer to the box in the backfield.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: You'd send him on blitzes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: He did get a couple tackles for loss, like I said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: so Really, that's a great spot for him. Johnny Mahaffey
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: from his free safety spot broke up three passes. He
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: also had an interception at the end of the game,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: five and a half tackles. I thought he had a
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: really good game defensively. Mason Button showing week in and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: week out, showing what he can do at that inside
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: linebacker spot. He had another eight tackles. Chance Hashett, four
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles and a tackle for loss. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Peace Windwalker, another great game with a strip sack, three tackles. So, yeah, very,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: very impressive win there for Ferndale, who is now four
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and one, and they will host Oak Harbor on Friday.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Oak Harbor is one and four, so that will be
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: their next game, which, you know, we'll talk about in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the next podcast. Next game, we're going to talk about
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Linden over Sehome, 48 to seven.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: That was out at Civic Stadium.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And boy, this was all Linden, and You know, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: think some people may have forgot, but because they've had
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: so many close games in the recent years. But now
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: this is 23 straight times Linden has beaten Sehome. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you have to go back to the early 2000s, the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: last time Sehome beat Linden. And actually, Coach Plankovich was
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the head coach of Sehome the last time Sehome beat Linden. So. Um,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it's been a while, but, and, and see him right
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: off the bat, got some good things going. Bane Mitchell, uh,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: booted the ball right off. One of the frontline Linden
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: players came back, Callum Laplante, um, recovered it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: And you're thinking, okay, we'll see him. He's going to
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: have first possession in the first half and the second half.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And it just, you know, it just didn't go well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: They had to punt right away. And then it was
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: just Linden, Linden, Linden.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: After that, um, Dawson Van Dalen with a 10 yard
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: touchdown run, uh, Austin Postma, 72-yard touchdown pass right on
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the middle of the field to Gordie Bedlington. And those
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: was 14-0 after the first quarter. Bedlington then went back
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: to quarterback, found Caden Brown for a nine-yard touchdown pass.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Sam Arango intercepted a pass in the end zone to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: cause a touchback on the very next play. He catches
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: an 80-yard touchdown pass from Austin Postma. I mean, it
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: was just, they could do whatever they wanted. Bedlington then
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: scores on the ground and then catches another touchdown.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: From Postma.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So at that point, Bedlington threw a touchdown pass, ran
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: one in, and caught two. So just did a lot
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: of different things, did Gordie Bedlington in that game. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Jad Geiger did complete a touchdown pass late to Gunnar Andersen,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: 54 yards. But by that time, Linden had the third
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: stringers in, and it was the third string connection of
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Jace based into Zane Shoddy on a 55-yard touchdown pass
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter for the Lions. Leading the way
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: on the ground was Dawson Van Dalen, 62 yards on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: just six carries. Gordie Bedlington, five carries for 47 yards.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Those were the two main yard gainers there. Austin Postman,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: four for four for 168 yards and three.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Touchdowns through the air. Is it three touchdowns? Yeah, three touchdowns.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: My goodness. Very, very efficient day there.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Bedlington and Orango both at 80 and 88 yards receiving.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: On the day.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: For Sehome, they do get the one touchdown pass from
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Geiger to Anderson. Leading the way on the ground was
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Cash Barnes, 10 carries for 62 yards. Jack Geiger, they
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: went to the air 42 times. He completed 19 of them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: He did throw the one touchdown pass through a couple interceptions.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: and Devin Bankson caught 10 passes for 78 yards. That
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: might be a tight end record at Sehome. I'm not
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: quite sure, but that's a lot of receptions there. Gunnar Andersen,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: five catches for 80 yards and the touchdown. Callum LaPlante,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: three catches for 49 yards. He had a tremendous catch
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: near midfield with three guys on him. He's a guy that's,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I've known about him for a few years, and he
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: just was playing behind all those really good guys ahead
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: of him, and he would get playing time here and
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: there and he would make plays. And I was so
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: excited for him as a senior to be doing his
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: thing and, and showing what he can do and getting
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: that playing time. Cause it's, um, you know, he's a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: guy that's rising up my list right now is a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: guy that's, uh, doing lots of good things every single
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Friday night. So, but, um, but it was all Linden defensively. Um, uh, uh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Landon Tolsma and Sam Arango, they each had an interception.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Arango also broke up four passes. So tremendous game for
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: him defensively. Tolsma had four and.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: A half tackles. He had also had a pass broken up.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Dawson Van Dalen had six tackles.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it was pretty spread across the board.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Lots of guys doing things. That's kind of the Linden way.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: You don't usually see one guy doing all the stuff.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: You see lots of guys contributing. They swarm to the ball.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Defensively for Seaholm, Avery Flagg, the freshman, he had three tackles,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: including a tackle for loss. Logan Rogers, again, four tackles,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: half a tackle for loss. Elias Lada, four and a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: half tackles. So those were kind of your main guys
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: defensively for Seaholm. As the Lions pick up the win,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: 48-7 Linden. will host top-ranked Anacortes on Friday.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: That's going to be a huge, huge game.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And then the Mariners are going to renew their city
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: rivalry with Bellingham at Civic Stadium on Friday night. And
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: there will be an honorary captain, a Bellingham grad, that
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: will be out there for the coin toss.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: That's a surprise. I don't know if it's a surprise,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: but someone who's very near and dear to my heart.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: So that will be.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: pretty cool thing so if you're going out to civic
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: stadium on friday um that will be an exciting thing
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: is it's a it's someone very very special so very
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: very cool there that they're.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Honoring her.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Next up nooksack valley over blaine 46 to 10 and
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: uh the pioneers remain perfect as they move to five
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and oh on the season blaine drops to two and
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: three and this was another one that It wasn't all
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that close. Nookzak Valley rips off four touchdowns in the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: first quarter alone, and they came out ready to play.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: They just put the pedal to the metal, I should say.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Trevon Skeenstra, a couple early touchdown runs. Tyler Martin, another interception,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and another one returned for a touchdown. So far this year,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I think he's got six interceptions. Two of them returned
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: for touchdowns.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I do believe he.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Had another pick six called back. He had another interception
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: at one point in the season that was called back.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So he could very well at this point have eight
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: interceptions and three return for touchdowns. Um, I need to
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: look up what the record for pick sixes is in
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: a season and for a career because Tyler Martin is
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: knocking on the door. He's basically, he's like Ed Reed
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: out there. If anyone remembers Ed Reed from the Baltimore Ravens, um,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: he is that kind of difference maker at the free
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: safety spot. Um, Yeah, he's a problem, and Blaine likes
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to throw the ball a lot, so it just kind
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: of played right into what the Pioneer's strength is. And
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: then at the end of the first quarter, Lucas Woodridge
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: had a perfect pass in the corner of the end
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: zone to Tyler Martin. They connect for a 28-yard touchdown there,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and then Lucas Woodridge hit his cousin, A.J. Woodridge, on
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a one-yard touchdown pass. That was right before halftime as
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Nooksack Valley led 33-0 at that point. Blaine came down
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and had a great drive to start the third quarter.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: The running game, some things were starting to click there
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit more. Connor Brown scrambling around, finding time.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: He was without his number one target for the whole game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Peyton Bauma, who I believe has a wrist injury. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: think he hurt his wrist last year too.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Hopefully it's not the same one. Hopefully he'll be able
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to play basketball.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I know he missed the beginning of basketball last year
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: because of the injury. So and it sucks when it
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: happens in your senior year. By all accounts, he's the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: best player on the team.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, that's a real shame.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: But they do finish that drive on an 18-yard touchdown
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: pass to freshman tight end Dimitri Shvorak. And I'm telling
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you right now, that's a name that you're going to
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: want to know for the next few years. This is
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: a guy that I think if he keeps progressing as
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: he should– At 6'2, 200 pounds right now as a freshman,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: if he gets to like 6'4, 230 or so by
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: the time he's a senior, he could be one of
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: those D1 type of tight ends. He is a really,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: really athletic kid that I'm excited about his future. So
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: he gets his first varsity touchdown, which was really cool
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to see. Trey Hutink ran wild multiple times. There was
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a play where he was dragging half the blame defense,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: for extra yards, just a strong, strong young man running
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the ball. He had a 22 yard touchdown run there
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter. And Eli King also had a
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: two yard touchdown run, which followed up a long run
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that he had as well. Blaine ends it with a
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: 30 yard field goal by Hunter Candenoza as time was
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: running out, which was pretty cool to see. You know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: that's one of those things where you want to see
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: if you can do it right. The clock is running,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: you get out there, you hurry up and snap and
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. And, um, Good to put
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: an extra three points on the board. And usually if
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: they're going to kick longer, Peyton Bauma is the guy
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: that they would use. So I think it's nice that
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: they were able to try Hunter Candenoza in that spot.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: He's the PAT kicker, and he nailed it from 30
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: yards out. So that gives them a little confidence going forward.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Nooksack Valley was very balanced, 180 yards on the ground,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: 175 through the air. I'm not sure if Trevin Skenstra
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: got hurt or not because he only had three carries
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: in the game for 14 yards today. two of them
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: went for touchdowns. They were, and they were both in
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the first quarter. He's a guy that's been averaging over
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: a hundred yards a game. So I'm not quite sure
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: if something happened there, but hopefully he's all right. But yeah,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Hugh Tink carried the load, 10 carries, 98 yards, a touchdown.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: And he did a, he did a fantastic job through
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the air.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Lucas Woodridge, 17 of 24 for 175 yards. Jaden Jones
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: caught five passes. Dane Ackerman, four catches for 62 yards.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Tyler Martin, A.J. Woodridge, Silas Tierna all caught two passes each.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Very productive day for the Nooksack Valley offense, moving the.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Ball very, very well.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Blaine, Connor Brown led them on the ground. Eight carries
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: for 46 yards. Tandy Heer had 25 yards. Asher Hagee
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: had 20. Sehu Kanaji had 19. Connor Brown also threw
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the air 13 of 31 for 150 yards. and the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: touchdown pass. Isaac Bauma led them in receiving five catches
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: for 78 yards. Hunter Canzanosa, four catches for 45 yards.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Dimitri Shvorak had two catches for 23 yards. And then
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Tandy Heer and Jackson Bogards each had a reception as well.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: On defense, again, Tyler Martin, who's won Defensive Player of
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the Week twice already, had another great week, four tackles,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a pass broken up, and another pick six.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Just a tremendous showing by him. Uh, Hugh Tink too.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Um, he had a really, really good game. Trey Hugh
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Tink playing linebacker spot, four and a half tackles and
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a tackle for loss. And I want to give a
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: shout out to a kid who made a ton of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: tackles on kickoffs, Mason Stanbro.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: He's a sophomore.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And every time I, and I've talked about this time
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: and time again, um, this happens every year, seemingly every
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: school where there's a sophomore on kickoffs, that's making all
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the tackles and, That kid eventually goes on to become
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: an awesome defensive football player. A few years ago, it
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: was Max Lautenbach. Now he's an all-league player on defense.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: So keep an eye on Mason Stanbrough. I think he's
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a guy that could get more and more reps defensively.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: He's just a.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Very willing tackler and did a great job. And he
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: had a fumble recovery recently. on special teams, I mean,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: he did a lot of really good things. So I'm
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: excited for his future. I love learning about these kids.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And then when they show up on Friday night and
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: do these things, it makes it a lot of fun
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to kind of put a checkmark next to their name,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: a star next to their name, and then see what
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: they do the next few years because it always seems
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: to pan out pretty well. Blaine defensively, Matt Campion defensively.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Nine tackles, one and a half tackles for loss, a
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: pass broken up. Boy, I've said it before. He's like
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: a spider monkey, man. He will just, if you ever
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: heard the song Seek and Destroy by Metallica, every time
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I see him make a tackle, that's the song going
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: through my brain is Metallica's Seek and Destroy. So watch
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Matt Campion play defense and sing that song yourself and
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it will work out just fine. Hunter Candenoza from his
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: corner spot, seven tackles, two tackles for loss. Axel Shelton, again,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: big game, seven tackles and a quarterback sack. Asher Hagee
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: from the defensive line spot, I thought he played pretty well.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's only got one speed, and it is
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: full speed ahead. And so you can take advantage of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: that sometimes, you know, with screen passes and misdirection type things. But, boy,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: he gets such a good jump off the ball. He
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: had four tackles, one and a half tackles for loss.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He also forced a fumble. He's a guy that, as
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: he keeps learning the game of football, is going to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: become a problem for people and really fun to watch him.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And Jackson Bogard, six and a half tackles from his
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: safety spot. He had another good game as well. But
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the Nooksack Valley Pioneers win the game 46-10. They will
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: travel to Mount Baker. on Friday to take on the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Mountaineers at 7 o'clock. And the Borderites will host Meridian
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: on Friday at 7 o'clock. So the 1A' s conference play
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: will still be in action there on Friday. And we'll
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: talk about all those games with the coaches and stuff
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: in the next podcast. But just kind of giving you
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: a little heads up there. Next game, Bellingham going down
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: to Quilsita Stadium and defeated Marysville Pilchuck 40-6.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Great game.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Ben Leonard comes back. He has a monster game. 19
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: of 24 for 205 yards and four touchdowns. And, boy,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I bet the Hawks were just.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Thrilled that he was able to play and stand out
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and do a great job.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Matthew Steele catches three of those four touchdown passes. He
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: finishes with 10 catches for 132 yards and three touchdowns.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: He's just a guy that continuously keeps putting up big
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: games after big games. Calvin Van Hoffweg in six catches
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: for 43 yards.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: He caught a touchdown as well.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And these younger guys, I tell you what, Bryce Shupak,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Jaden Delaney, these guys are going to be studs. A
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: lot of freshmen that are showing what they can do.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I know the freshman team is undefeated. So, you know,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the future is bright for Bellingham. And they found some
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: stuff in the running game as well. Camden Chartier, nine
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: carries for 49 yards. MJ Mena had five carries for
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: 39 yards. Nick Malone had 21 yards on the ground.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So really, really cool to see that they were able
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: to stand out that way and and and get the ball.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: You know, they ran for over 120 yards, which I
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: don't know if they'd done all year.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And they were very even 28 run plays, 28 pass plays.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So that was really good to see in Marysville Pilchuck.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: You know, they struggled a little bit. They don't throw
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: it a whole lot. They keep it on the ground.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: They've got huge guys on the offensive line. I mean,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys that were at least 350. They
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: were big, big dudes. And Bellingham does not have that
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: kind of size at all. It is all about speed
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: and quickness. And they were able to hold Marysville Pilchuck
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: to under 200 yards for the game and keep him
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: off the scoreboard, which was most important. And it was
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: a lowly score to the one touchdown, and that came
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: against the backups in the fourth quarter. And Bellingham, you know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: they did some good things. MJ Mena had a 21-yard
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: touchdown run, which was really, really cool to see. Tyson
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Miller scored a touchdown late, the freshman running back. So
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: nice to see different guys doing some things. And Julius Seyfried, I.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Mean, he's not even 100%. He had.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: A monster game as outside linebacker spot, 11 tackles, one
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles for loss, and played with an
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: aggressiveness that was very, very exciting to see. It jumped
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: off the screen watching the film.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I can't even imagine what he's going to be like
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: when he is fully healthy because he's a monster out there.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Calvin Van Hofwagen, of course, doing his thing every week,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: three tackles, two of them for a loss. He also
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: intercepted a pass just week after week, always doing good things.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Jaquez Love-Rotson, he had one and a half tackles for
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: a loss. Ryland Claussen had three and a half tackles
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: and a half.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Tackle for a loss.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So a lot of these Bayhawks coming out, and good
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to get back in the win column. So they go
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to two and three on the year. As we said earlier,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: they will host Seaholm, who is one and four. at
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: 7 o'clock on Friday at Civic Stadium. So be ready
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: for that. Bellingham, good to see them getting back into
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the win column there. Next up, didn't go so well
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: for the Squalicum Storm as they went down to Archbishop
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Murphy and lost 51-7. They had a really good drive
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: early in the game where they were able to get
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: all the way to like the, I don't know, around
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: the 10-yard line. They picked up, there was a 10-yard
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: run by Tucker Hofstad. There was a 25-yard pass from
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Phoenix Price to Elias Laranaga. But then the drive was
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: dismantled when there was a strip sack. And then they
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: returned to 84 yards for a touchdown. And they just
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: had that big swing at that moment. Because if Squalicum
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: scores on that drive, it's 7-7. And now, because of
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: one play, it goes 14-0. So you look at that
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: as like a 14-point swing. And then it's all Archbishop
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: after that. Squalicum does score a touchdown, the first touchdown
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: of the second quarter, as Maddox Strickland had a seven-yard
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: touchdown run, and he set it up with.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: A 22-yard run before that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: But other than that, I mean, it was all Wildcats.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: The defending champions looked pretty good as they ran for
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: over 400 yards in the game. Squalicum ran for 123 yards.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Tucker Hofstede led the way with 49 yards on the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: ground on 12 carries. Maddox Strickland, seven carries left. for
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: 39 yards. Phoenix Price, three of nine through the air
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: for 34 yards. Elias Laranaga caught two of the three passes.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Tucker Hofstede caught the other one. Defensively, I thought Ray
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Hoffman had a pretty good game. Six and a half tackles,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: getting in there as.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: The strong safety.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: It's interesting when you're a strong safety against a run-heavy team,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you're basically turning into a linebacker, and he played great.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Elijah Webster at the corner spot. He had five tackles,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: one pass broken up. And Mason Sone, the safety, four
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles and a tackle for a loss.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: So those were kind of the main guys defensively that
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: stood out there. As Squalicum takes the loss, their fourth
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: in a row.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Now they will travel to Sultan.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: On Friday to take on the Turks at 7 o'clock.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Sultan's 2-3 on the year, but they took Burlington Edison
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to overtime last week. And we saw what Burlington Edison
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: did to the Storm a.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Few weeks ago.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: So this is not going to be an easy game
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: for Squalicum. I really feel like all the games this
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: upcoming Friday are great matchups.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of them. So really excited about.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Doing the studio show on Friday night, bringing you all
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: the action live as it's happening with instant replay highlights
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and a live scoreboard on the bottom. So it's going
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: to be one of those Friday nights where I think
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it's going to be A lot going on and very,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: very exciting. So very pumped about that. But Squalicum, they
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: lost 51-7. They will try to get it right at
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Sultan next week. Next up, we go to the 1As
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: again as Lyndon Christian defeated Meridian 48-18. It was pretty
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: close early on going back and forth and a lot
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: of interceptions. There were six total interceptions in the game.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: But Chris Coyman, my goodness, have a day.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: 16 carries, 286 yards and four touchdowns. He broke four
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: school records in the game alone.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: You know, what else can you say? I mean, that
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: is just purely incredible. And, and he, and the thing
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: was that was kind of fun about it was that
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: he didn't really carry the load. Like he would have
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a long run and then they'd take him out and
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Mason Berenson would come in and have some strong carries
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and they put Coleman back in and, So they kind
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: of used him in an interesting way where they didn't
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: use him up, I guess I should say.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: And he was playing a defensive end spot, and he
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: did some great things.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: He had a couple quarterback sacks. Chris Koiman had a
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: great overall game. Speaking about great overall games, Trey Alexander,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: he had a monster game where he had to do
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of stuff.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: First of all, he threw for 237 yards. and a touchdown.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: He did throw four interceptions, two of them coming extremely
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: late in the game. He also picked off two passes
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: himself playing defense. So he did that. He threw, you know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: he did that. We did, he did what he did
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: on defense. He threw for 237 yards. He also ran
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: for 180 yards. And I'm going to, I need to
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: check and see the last time a Meridian player ran
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: for 180. I want to say it's been a while,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: but he had a heck of a game. Meridian as
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: a team ran for 221 yards. And I mean, combined
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the two teams almost put up a thousand yards of offense.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: There was just a lot of offense going back and forth,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: back and forth, but Linden Christian.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: It was just, they just leaned on him and it
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: was just too much links.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Getting the four interceptions was huge too, especially early on. Will,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Will McImer, the sophomore had an, had a, had an
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: interception early. It was, it was crazy because Elsie scores first,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Koiman on a run, Then Trey Alexander scores on a
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: 27-yard touchdown run, and then they kick an onside kick,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: and Meridian gets it. Mason Simmons recovers it, and you're thinking, okay,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Meridian's here to play, and then the very next play,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: interception deep into Meridian territory. That was Mackimer's interception, and.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: They ended up scoring Koeman on a run.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Then he had Koeman at long run, then Hines had
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: a short run, and Berenson had a short run, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Elsie's up by four touchdowns in
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and it's just kind of like, holy cow,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and and it just kind of poured on them after that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, Elsie and Meridian still together put up, what,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: five touchdowns just in the fourth quarter alone as they
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: kind of battled back and forth.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: But it was just good to see a good matchup,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: good football.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Jackson Fannin-Steele ran for 41 yards for Meridian. And then
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: in the air, Pierce Brzozowski, seven catches for 61 yards.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: case and colt four catches for 91 yards josiah harris
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: four catches for 44 yards trevin crabtree jackson fan and
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: steel and casey brennan each had two catches jamison alexander
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: had a catch as well for lyndon christian they just
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: they went heavy on the ground as well they ran
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: for 441 yards that's the most ever by a lyndon
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: christian football team in school history for a game as
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: a team coyman obviously picked up the most of it
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: 286 yards which again is a school record Hines had 65,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Berenson had 64, Blankers had 21, and Sam Senti had
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: two carries for five yards. Through the year, they didn't
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: have to throw very much. Heinz, 5 of 12 for
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: 36 yards. And it was interesting because they still were
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: without a lot of their key players. I mean, Eli Stamps,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I think he's out for a while. but Caden Veldman
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and Wyatt Campouse did not play either. So because of that,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I think they knew they were going to go heavy
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: run and, um, and they did.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: And it was pretty obvious that they did.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: So, um, yeah, I mean, Justin Kiewik, Jackson Yoon, each
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: had a couple of catches, Trey Morlag and Chris Koiman
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: each had a catch as well. Um, but it was
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: all links. And then, uh, the other records that he broke,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: he became the school's all time leading rusher. Um, And, um,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: so he passed, um, Lance Bosman and that, plus he
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: passed Lance Bosman for the school record for yards in
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: a single game. And then he broke Greg Dykstra's record
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: for career rushing touchdowns. And then he broke Cade Eldridge's
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: record for most yards per carry.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: In a single game. So he just, he was just
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: a huge game. That's all I got to say about that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just, it was, um, It was
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: a game that will be remembered for a while for
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: all of Chris Koyman and the family and something he's
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: going to probably tell his grandkids about. Defensively for the Lynx,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Grant Adams had a couple interceptions, three tackles, a pass
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: broken up. Gavin Van Lowe stepping in in the inside
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: linebacker spot kind of turned into the middle linebacker spot
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: as they went to like a dime.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Defense, like a 4-1 defense. six, basically.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: You had Justin Kuick split out, like, playing corner, which
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: was pretty cool to see, big physical corner like that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: And he had a good game.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: He had seven and a half tackles and a pass
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: broken up. Peter Enfield had a good game, five tackles
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: and a sack. I talked about Chris Coyman with a
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: couple sacks. That was pretty good. So good overall game
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: by the Lynx defense. Meridian's defense, Ethan Valich, again, leading
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the way in tackles with nine tackles. Trey Alexander had
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: one and a half tackles, a pass broken up, and
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: those two interceptions. Ryan Wynn had five and a half
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: tackles and a sack. So they had some guys, too,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: that stood out there defensively, but it was just too
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: much Linden Christian as they moved to 4-1, and now.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: They will host Archbishop Murphy on Thursday night at 7 o'clock.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: So be ready for that quick turnaround. Trojans fall to 2-3.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: They will travel to Blaine to take on the Borderites
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: on Friday night.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: At seven o'clock. And one more game to talk about.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: This was the Saturday game as Mount Baker fell to
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: on Alaska 32 to 14. And it was a strange
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: game to watch. It just, just things did not go
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker's way. And I tell you what, the on
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Alaska loggers are a very good team. They're very physical team,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: but really what, what made them go was converting on
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: four downs. And if you haven't seen on Alaska, they
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: will run the ball. and run the ball, and run
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the ball, and run the ball.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: And to give you an idea, they had 62.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Plays on offense. They ran the ball 60 times. And
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: they were two of two through the air, but they
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: want to run the ball constantly, much more than Baker does.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: And they also don't punt very often, if at all.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: So they're built to get 10 yards in four plays.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of what was happening.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And there were so many times, I think I counted
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: seven times when on Alaska had the ball and it
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: was fourth and like three and they would get it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: And it's just like, oh my goodness, if you just
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: stop them one of those times. And also like over
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: their first 35 or 40 runs, they only had three
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: runs that were double digit yards, but all three of
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: them were broke loose for.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Long touchdown runs. So that was a backbreaker as well.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Mount Baker did get on the board first on.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: A fourth-down pass play from Tyson Barksdale to Gage Smith
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: that covered 31 yards. But then Onalaska ripped off three
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: touchdown runs, and they also went for two every time
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and got them every single time. So it was four
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: touchdowns to two touchdowns, but when you look at the
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: final score, it looks worse than that. It looks like
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: they scored five touchdowns, but they didn't.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Um, on Alaska is really good. And Baker just kind
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: of stepped their toe and they could not get the
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: run game going. Um, and Knox Smith had a long
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: run that went for like, I can't remember like 30
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: yards late in the game. And that was more than
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: half of their total yards on the ground. It was
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: really strange to see Mount Baker also passed the ball
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: 23 times. They ran the ball only 21 times.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: So it was the first time since 2009 that, that
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: they passed the ball more times than they ran the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: ball in a single game. It was just a lot
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: of things that were, you know, the game plan was
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: probably thrown out the window at multiple times because of
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: the way things were going. And they do score a
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: touchdown in the third quarter. Barksdale hit a knock Smith
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: on a 14-yard touchdown pass. But it was just weird
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: to see Baker only ran for 50 yards the entire
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: game and had zero rushing touchdowns. That's just something you
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: never see. And on Alaska, ran for over 400 yards.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: So it was strange to see, but I tell you what,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: it was a non-league game, and I would not want
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: to be at practice this week out in Deming, because
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you they are going to hear about this
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: game a lot, especially with the guys up front, because
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: when you only run for 50 yards, but you allow
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: 412 yards on the ground rushing, it's the guys up
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: front that are probably going to hear about it. And
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: they are going to be ready on Friday night. They
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: take on the undefeated Pioneers.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Coming to town.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a heck of a matchup
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: because they are going to be really, really ticked off
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: coming into that game. And Nooksack Valley is rolling right now.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be very interesting to see how
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: that one goes. Barksdale goes 12 of 23 through the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: air for 124 yards. Gage Smith caught seven passes for
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: 71 yards. And the defense, a lot of guys put
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: up numbers, but it's because you're on the field a lot.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: But a lot of guys, like I said, put up
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: good numbers.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Andrew Monteith had 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. That's
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: the other thing.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Mount Baker caused and recovered four fumbles, and it still
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: went the way that it went, which is incredible. Gage Smith,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: eight and a half tackles, a tackle for loss. He
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: had a fumble recovery as well. Uh, Kel Reardon, six
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles, a tackle for loss. He forced
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: a fumble and recovered a fumble, two separate plays. Aaron Torres,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: eight and a half tackles, a tackle for loss and
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: a forced fumble. Eli James had eight and a half
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: tackles and a fumble recovery. Pepe McAvoy Salgado had seven
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles. Um, Isaac DeCreek had six tackles
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: and a tackle for loss. Noah Nicole Mills had 10
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles. Um, you know, it's a lot
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: of tackles when they're running the ball between the tackles. Um,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: That's a lot to say, but, but you get my drift.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was, it was, the defense was on
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the field a lot. That's, that's basically what you could
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: say about that. And Mount Baker has the loss there.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: It made me think a lot of 2022. They had
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: a game, which I believe was like week five, week
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: four or five, where they hosted, I want to say
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: it was like the center on a Saturday afternoon.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: And they lost that game.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Now this game was a little different because they were,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: they had a, I think they had a pretty big lead,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: and the center came back and won. And then after
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: that game, they just went on a big streak and
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: got all the way to the state championship game. But
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I think that was like their fourth loss of the year,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: and it was like in weeks five or six. So
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: it was– it kind of had that feel to it
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: where it was like, what the heck is going on?
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: It's daylight, Saturday game. It's at Bob Tisdale Field. It
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: just had that icky feeling.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: And if Baker can– you know, make it be like
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: 2022 again, then, uh, you never know. They could go
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: on a run. So we'll have to wait and see.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: They are the last team to play conference play. So
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: they'll begin conference play. Like I said, on Friday when
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: they host Nooksack Valley, the pioneers and a great rivalry
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: game there. So those are all the games that happened
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Now we're going to start talking about
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: the players of the week. We're going to start off
• 38:16
