  with Tyler and Ryland. It's a matter of pride. Greetings and welcome into
• 0:22
  the Walcome Preps Podcast. This is episode one ninety a review of a week
• 0:27
  one. I'm Ryland Spencer. Along with me I was always Tyler Anderson of
• 0:31
  a Walcome Preps. Tyler, how we doing and doing great? You know?
• 0:36
  Yeah, this will be fun to review a week one. It's been
• 0:38
  a while since we've done one of these, so let's get to it.
• 0:42
  Yeah, we have a lot to talk about. We had eight games this
• 0:44
  week. But before we get into it, we need to give a little
• 0:47
  thank you to Ferndale Junior Talent bun Guard, who gave us the intro.
• 0:51
  Tyler. We're going to talk about him a couple of times this podcast here
• 0:56
  because he had himself quite the game this week. As I mentioned, we
• 1:02
  have eight games to get to and we also, Tyler, we have new
• 1:06
  little segment coming up here, a little little something something special here on the
• 1:11
  podcast that's going to become a weekly. A weekly I don't know what do
• 1:15
  you call it. I mean, I guess it's a segment, but a
• 1:17
  weekly special. Let's call it that because it is special. So we will
• 1:21
  get to that here in just a little bit. But Tyler, let's start
• 1:23
  off with Nooksack Valley and Mountain View. First off, Tyler, do you
• 1:27
  know what time this game actually started, because we talked about a couple of
• 1:30
  different start times here. Yeah, it did definitely start at four thirty and
• 1:34
  it was being live streamed on YouTube, which was great, so I got
• 1:38
  to I got to kind of have it on in the background as I was
• 1:42
  headed out to Lyndon, so at some stop signs, I could look over
• 1:46
  and check out what was going on because they had a score right up there.
• 1:49
  So it was kind of cool being able to to watch a game a
• 1:53
  little bit listen to a game on my way out to a game. You're
• 1:56
  starting to sound like me. I used to do this stuff like that all
• 1:59
  the time. I'd be driving from one game to another with a game on
• 2:01
  the And actually, Tyler, do you did you have the ability to like
• 2:06
  plug it into your radio to where you could like have the audio around the
• 2:08
  car. No, no, I'm not that. I'm not that savvy,
• 2:13
  but it's not hard. It's one little child knock off the Amazon. I
• 2:16
  do have the ability to be hands free and have my phone connected to a
• 2:22
  little thing so I don't have to hold it, which is nice. I'm
• 2:25
  moving up in the world at yeah, two thousand and two. There you
• 2:29
  go, Tyler. All right, Well, Nooksack Valley all the way down
• 2:31
  the road, long long travel down to play Mountain View at Mackenzie Stadium in
• 2:37
  Vancouver, Washington, and the Pioneers come out thirty five twenty one win over
• 2:43
  the thunder. Tyler, this is a game that at halftime Nooksack Valley led.
• 2:49
  By the way, this is a really hard box quarter read because it's
• 2:51
  envy and envy just over and over and over all the way down. But
• 2:55
  yeah, Nooksack Valley led at twenty one fourteen and then not a lot of
• 3:00
  scoring in the third before a couple more touchdowns for the Pioneers in the fourth
• 3:05
  quarter. H Tyler, what'd you see in this one? Yeah, I
• 3:08
  mean, after a long bus ride sometimes you you know, you kind of
• 3:12
  worry about their legs in the beginning of the game, and and uh,
• 3:15
  you know, it was a little sloppy early on, but for the most
• 3:20
  part, uh, you know, Noozak played pretty well, especially offensively.
• 3:24
  They gave up some big plays, especially in the passing game. Defensively,
• 3:29
  but uh, they were you know, they were very sound up front.
• 3:32
  Did Ad did a great job. Drove right down the field, scored right
• 3:37
  away. H they Mountview returned the kickoff, you know, almost for a
• 3:43
  for a touchdown. There was a kind of there was a saving tackle there
• 3:46
  by a sophomore Jackson Hester, which was a huge play. But then they
• 3:52
  scored like two plays later on the twenty seven yard touchdown passed and then Mount
• 3:55
  View took the lead. It was kind of like looking okay, okay,
• 4:00
  but looks like Valley started getting kind of into the game a little bit.
• 4:02
  Maybe the nerves were kind of gone after that. And they had they had
• 4:08
  the the the two touchdown runs that Colton Lenz had in the second quarter.
• 4:12
  You would have loved this this formation. They had seven offensive linemen right on
• 4:15
  the line of scrimmage with you know, the tight ends tackles playing tight ends.
• 4:20
  And they had John Strumler as an I set fullback. Uh. And
• 4:26
  so you're basically have eight linemen in the game and given it to Colton Lentz
• 4:30
  and and for and as a as respect they got Jackson Bennett split out wide.
• 4:34
  But but boy, that was as soon as I saw that formation,
• 4:40
  I just I was like, I wrote a little note, I go,
• 4:43
  Ryland's gotta see this. Uh. They scored twice with that, uh and
• 4:46
  the yeah, and the second half, you know, it was kind of
• 4:49
  a little little back and forth. Uh. Joey Brown broke off some some
• 4:54
  long runs in the second half and had a career high game for him rushing
• 4:58
  the ball. U you know it. They just kind of took care of
• 5:01
  business, big time yards on the ground. The offensive line played fantastic,
• 5:05
  Like I said, the only the only real hiccup was in kind of a
• 5:10
  few broken players in the pass coverage. But Mount View has some athletes and
• 5:14
  and and they you know, they they like to throw it around a little
• 5:17
  bit, so they're gonna they're gonna play pretty well this year. But I
• 5:21
  loved what Nooksack valably did getting a lot of different guys involved in the running
• 5:27
  game throwing here and there. But it wasn't needed. So uh, Yeah,
• 5:31
  the Pioneers went down there and took care of business. Yeah. Two
• 5:34
  definite opposites when you look at the box score here, Nooksack Valley four hundred
• 5:39
  and four yards on the ground, seventy nine through the air for four hundred
• 5:43
  and eighty three total. Uh. And then on the other side Mountain View
• 5:46
  ninety three rushing, two ninety one passing for three hundred and eighty four yards.
• 5:51
  So uh, you know, kind of opposites in a rushing attack and
• 5:56
  a passing attack, but uh, yeah you mentioned it. Uh, huge
• 6:00
  day for Joey Brown. Sixteen carries one hundred and eighty one yards, no
• 6:04
  touchdowns because those all oh excuse me, one touchdown but three for yeah,
• 6:09
  he had two Joey Brown always oh he got the last one. Also sixty
• 6:13
  seven yard run, well that's where he got all his yards. I mean,
• 6:16
  this is not But then yeah, Colton Lance a big day, but
• 6:19
  not as many yards. Fifteen carries ninety seven yards, touchdown runs of two,
• 6:25
  three and one, So big time rushing numbers for those two guys.
• 6:29
  But then also, I mean you gotta give a little bit of shout out
• 6:30
  here to Skyler Witter. And also twelve carries sixty eight yards, Jackson Bennett
• 6:34
  five for thirty nine. I mean, just a marvelous, marvelous rushing performance
• 6:42
  for the Pioneers. Tyler. When you look at the defensive side of the
• 6:46
  ball, anything stand out there. I mean, we get some big performances.
• 6:49
  I know, I had a guy on my fantasy team that I'm kind
• 6:54
  of kind of want to know a little bit about here, But what about
• 6:56
  the defensive side of the ball. Yeah, Brady Ackerman. You know a
• 7:00
  lot of taco obviously as him as a left tackle, but he's been a
• 7:02
  very good defensive end over the years. He had three and a half tackles,
• 7:06
  two sacks. He had a pass knocked down at line of scrimmage.
• 7:10
  Was also in on another tackle for loss. Colton Lentz kind of that hybrid
• 7:15
  safety linebacker guy seven tackles, one tackle for loss. Very very physical on
• 7:20
  the defensive side of the ball. He's he just keeps getting bigger and bigger
• 7:25
  every time I see him, and he's he's hitting harder and harder, and
• 7:28
  it's really showing. Dalton Hickey had a really good game defensively too. He
• 7:30
  had a sack, he recovered a fumble. You know, coaches always say
• 7:34
  put your best eleven on the field, and they just when he played last
• 7:38
  year, he just he made plays and order to get him in the starting
• 7:41
  lineup. That's kind of where they why they moved John Strummler to linebacker because
• 7:45
  Hickey showed so so well as a defensive end, so they could do that.
• 7:49
  Corey only again, he knocked down a couple of passes. He's always
• 7:54
  back there wreaking havoc and Jackson Bennett had a tackle for loss and a pass
• 7:57
  broken up as well to go with his three tackles. So those were kind
• 8:00
  of the five main guys defensively again. Nooksack Valley over Mountain View thirty five,
• 8:05
  twenty one on Friday night down in Vancouver, Tyler Port Angelis came to
• 8:11
  town, spoiled a little bit of the Andy Olsen party there at Blaine the
• 8:16
  first game as new Blaine head coach at forty four to twenty one. And
• 8:20
  uh, you know, this is a game that did not start off too
• 8:24
  well for Blaine and then it kind of went downhill pretty quickly before they got
• 8:28
  on the board, and then they gave up three more. So what did
• 8:31
  you see in this one? And uh, was there anything promising on the
• 8:35
  Blaine side? Yeah, there definitely was, I mean there was there was
• 8:39
  just a lot of misfortune. It seemed like early on Port Angelists drove down
• 8:46
  they got you know, they were they had the ball at the one yard
• 8:48
  line and they were running the ball in on the right side, and then
• 8:52
  Blake Kreski caused a fumble. Victor Gervall fell on it right at the one
• 8:56
  yard line, right up right to start things off. But then a few
• 8:58
  plays later there was a miscommunication and there was a snap when there wasn't supposed
• 9:03
  to be and then that caused a safety, and so it's and so it's
• 9:05
  kind of like, you know, you got a turnover. You got the
• 9:07
  ball, but then you because of where it was on the field, now
• 9:11
  it's you give up an easy safety and then you kick the ball off.
• 9:15
  And then right away, uh, you know, a couple of days later
• 9:18
  they score on a touchdown pass that Colby Ship had his hands on. So
• 9:22
  just like that, it's nine nothing and you feel like you just made a
• 9:24
  couple of really close mistakes. After that, you know, it was just
• 9:30
  there was some tough moments. Turnover wise, there was four interceptions thrown.
• 9:35
  You're given Port Angelos short fields. I thought they had him scouted really well.
• 9:39
  Port Angelos runs a lot of the double handoff stuff. I remember that
• 9:43
  from last year seeing the film, it really jumped off the screen last year
• 9:46
  because I had never seen it that much before. I mean, I've seen
• 9:48
  Baker and Ferndale run those plays, you know, but they do it like
• 9:52
  two or three times a game. These guys were doing it like twelve thirteen
• 9:54
  times a game, and they were doing it again this year, and Blame,
• 9:58
  you know, kind of held him to it a little better than last
• 10:01
  year. But it was just giving them short fields. You know, they
• 10:05
  did get a touchdown late in the first quarter, I'm sorry, this first
• 10:09
  half, with like a minute to go in the half. But then they
• 10:13
  then they gave up a quick drive and you know, it's just it's one
• 10:16
  of those ones where it's like, you know, it's just boom, boom
• 10:20
  boom, and they scored. It's like, man, we got I thought
• 10:22
  we had the last touchdown the half, and then port Andrews returns the second
• 10:26
  half kickoff for a touchdown. So it's just like, man, they just
• 10:28
  a lot of things couldn't go right right in the middle of that game.
• 10:33
  But Blaine competed hard through throughout four quarters. They played really well in the
• 10:37
  fourth quarter. You know, they would play Riley. I'd a quarterback here
• 10:41
  and there. He had a few possessions doing some wildcat stuff. He did
• 10:43
  throw the ball a little bit, completed a couple of passes, but man
• 10:46
  offensively him as a slot receiver, catching six passes for one hundred and thirteen
• 10:50
  yards two touchdowns. He also ran that one in from the from the quarterback
• 10:54
  spot in the second quarter. I thought he played an outstanding game. So
• 10:58
  there was a lot like there. And defensively there was some really good things.
• 11:03
  Blake Kereski, who who caused the fumble. He also had an interception
• 11:07
  of really good, good sized junior inside linebacker that I liked a lot.
• 11:13
  Riley I did great as a safety, seven and a half tackles. Connor
• 11:16
  Dalry had a sack he returned to fumble twenty four yards and I mean it
• 11:22
  was so close to returning it for a touchdown, but there was a guy
• 11:24
  that kind of had an angle on him and got him down. That could
• 11:28
  have been a big, big play. And then your boy defensive ends Zeu
• 11:31
  with the shortest name in Walker County, uh, he had you know,
• 11:35
  he had two tackles for loss, a sack of forced fumble and a fumble
• 11:39
  recovery. So there was some good stuff and coach Olsen's got to be proud
• 11:45
  about how his team played. There was just in opportune, you know,
• 11:48
  moments there of mishaps and and when you give a team a short field,
• 11:54
  that's just that's just heartbreaking. And of course, every you know, the
• 11:58
  cliche is, you know, if you turned the ball over, you're not
• 12:00
  gonna win, And that's basically what happened to Blaine. It's all about the
• 12:03
  ball, right Yeah, And Tyler, I think when you look at the
• 12:07
  box score and you just look at yards, it's it's very deceiving in a
• 12:11
  way. You wouldn't think the score was forty four twenty one because total yards
• 12:15
  two forty eight for Port angelis at two forty four for Blaine. But you
• 12:20
  know, some of that comes from a safety, some of that comes from
• 12:22
  a kick return, you know, some short field stuff here. So uh,
• 12:26
  kind of a disappointing game for Blaine, but you know, it sounds
• 12:30
  like sounds like they had a little bit of a string of unfortunate events as
• 12:35
  things kind of went into that game, or not into the game, but
• 12:37
  going on within the game. It's kind of where I was going with that.
• 12:41
  So it seems like something that they can get corrected, and you know,
• 12:46
  sometimes it's almost like you just have bad luck and then things kind of
• 12:50
  spiral out of control at times, you know, if that makes sense.
• 12:54
  So, uh, something that I think I think Blaine will get it figured
• 12:56
  out here. But uh yeah, Blaine downs or excuse me, goes down
• 13:01
  to Port Angels forty four twenty one. That game was at Blaine, right,
• 13:07
  yes, yeah, Now, Tyler, the only game of the week
• 13:11
  featuring a team that we know literally zero about is squal coming. I guess
• 13:16
  we know a little bit about New Westminster because we know where it is,
• 13:20
  but other than that, not a whole lot about this team. But squala
• 13:22
  Cum not real nice to the neighbors from the north forty one to twelve over
• 13:28
  New Westminster. Big big day from a couple of players, Tyler, what'd
• 13:33
  you see here? Yeah, pure domination And this was you know, Squalcum
• 13:39
  was kind of the team from Walkin County this year where I had a lot
• 13:43
  of I don't know, I'm want to say question marks, but maybe unanswered
• 13:48
  questions about what to expect. You know, they I know they had some
• 13:52
  big time guys coming back, but you got guys in New positions and and
• 13:56
  you know it's just you know, your defensive nator leaves, but then you
• 14:01
  get a really good one to replace them. And it just had a lot
• 14:03
  of these things where I was really excited to watch the film and see all,
• 14:07
  you know, kind of what it was all gonna, you know,
• 14:11
  come out to. And it's kind of like if you're like, you know,
• 14:15
  making a meal and you have all these new ingredients and you're just excited
• 14:18
  to try it. You know, That's kind of what it felt like.
• 14:20
  And and they you know, it's hard to judge, you know when a
• 14:24
  team is going against another one that's not to their level. But Squalcom played
• 14:31
  lights out, I mean right off the bat and novayagging with the big punt
• 14:35
  return for a touchdown. I think it was like the fifth play of the
• 14:37
  game, and that really set the tone. Dad needs turned the lights on
• 14:41
  yet at Civic Stadium when that happened. And you know, and so they
• 14:46
  got the ball, you know, already with the lead, and it was
• 14:50
  just big play aff for big play, you know, Maliki Smith with a
• 14:52
  big touchdown run, Marcus Nixon playing quarterback now with a little play action,
• 14:58
  and novayaging wide open down the middle of the field, hit him perfectly in
• 15:01
  stride for a fifty yard touchdown pass and then Marcus Nixon started keeping the ball.
• 15:05
  His last three carries of the game, he scored touchdowns with so and
• 15:09
  then after the third one, it was a running clock. You know,
• 15:11
  New West scored both their touchdowns on running clocks. The backups were in started
• 15:16
  turning the ball over a little bit and that's that's how you know, the
• 15:20
  high AC scored. So uh, it was it was very, very dominant
• 15:24
  on the Storm's side. They got another Canadian team up again, so it's
• 15:28
  gonna be hard to kind of judge to see where they're at. But but
• 15:31
  they played really really well. They you know, defensively, uh joaking Ortiz
• 15:37
  starting at safety. Now he played a little bit of defense last year,
• 15:41
  but he you know, he's not that big, but my goodness, he
• 15:45
  has an impact when when he plays great speed, hits a ton six tackles,
• 15:50
  two of them for loss out of the safety position, forced a fumble,
• 15:54
  knocked to pass down. DeAndre Dunmore is just scary as a lineback.
• 16:00
  He had nine and a half tackles, two tackles for loss. You and
• 16:03
  I were talking off the air a week ago or so, and I can't
• 16:07
  remember exactly what it was, but we were talking about a play when you
• 16:10
  know if a guy comes in a fly sweep and there's a blitzing linebacker who
• 16:14
  times it just right, and oh, my goodness, DeAndre Dunmore had one
• 16:18
  of those plays where it's like you could see it coming, like before the
• 16:22
  snap, and you're like, oh, there it is, and he just,
• 16:25
  oh, he just met it perfectly. He had one of those.
• 16:26
  Brady Scammel had a good game. He had an interception, playing safety,
• 16:30
  six tackles, and then our boy lockey, the sophomore I'm not even gonna
• 16:36
  try to pronounce the last name, Fagata he is. You're gonna love watching
• 16:41
  this kid. Sixty three two hundred and twenty five pounds outside linebacker, just
• 16:45
  a sophomore. Four and a half tackles, a tackle for loss. He
• 16:49
  also had an interception. He's one of the upmen. He returned to kickoff.
• 16:52
  This kid has got super talent and a lot and just a hits like
• 16:57
  a ton of bricks. So he's that prototypical outside linebacker for the Squalicum Storm.
• 17:03
  I don't know where they keep getting these kids, but my goodness,
• 17:06
  he's a great one to watch. So there were some really really good moments
• 17:08
  there for the storm and I'm excited to see them moving forward. Just one
• 17:12
  hundred and ten total yards for New Westminster, I mean, that is that's
• 17:18
  what you need at a week one. If you're Squalcum, you need the
• 17:22
  new you mentioned at New DC, And if you're Squalicum, you want to
• 17:27
  you want to be able to get the ball rolling early on the defensive side
• 17:32
  of the ball because this is a very tough conference that are going to end
• 17:36
  up in you know, some of the best teams in the state, regardless
• 17:40
  of classifications. So they got to get the ball rolling, and well,
• 17:44
  I guess they got to stop the ball from rolling. I guess maybe defensively,
• 17:47
  but on the offensive side. Three and twenty nine total yards for Squalicum,
• 17:51
  two hundred and nineteen on the ground, you mentioned Marcus Nixon five carries,
• 17:53
  one hundred and six yards, three touchdowns, fifty one eighteen and seventeen.
• 18:00
  Malachi Smith a name that I think we touched a little bit on in
• 18:03
  the in the preview, but here he is starting and ten carries, sixty
• 18:08
  seventy yards and one touchdown, thirty one yard touchdown and Nava Egging you mentioned
• 18:15
  it, Neva Egging seventy one yard punt return for a touchdown. I mean
• 18:18
  that that young man, you know, just electric. He's he's got a
• 18:22
  lot of a lot of athleticism and just sort I'm looking for here. You
• 18:29
  got a little bit of a h I don't want to say like Dante Halt,
• 18:33
  you know what I mean. He's got like a little bit of something
• 18:34
  something to him. It's just fun to watch and he's yeah, yeah,
• 18:37
  absolutely, you know, and uh he had he also had two receptions for
• 18:41
  seventy eight yards, so he didn't have the most receptions in the game,
• 18:45
  but he did have the most receiving yards. So just a great all around
• 18:51
  week for that young man and for Squalacum forty one twelve over New Westminster.
• 18:55
  You mentioned it. Next week game another game against a Canadian team, this
• 19:00
  time Seaquam who we saw last year playing a game against Linden Christian Right,
• 19:07
  Yes, that's right. Yeah. Uh Meridian twenty two, twenty two thirteen,
• 19:11
  almost at twenty two twenty three, that would be a loss twenty two
• 19:15
  thirteen win over granted falls, uh Tyler, I mean this is a game
• 19:19
  that you know, we thought was maybe gonna be a little bit more high
• 19:23
  scoring on the Meridians side, but granted, Falls really hung in there and
• 19:27
  in the second half they held the Meridians scoreless. Unfortunately for them. In
• 19:32
  the first half, Meridian held them scoreless. So, uh, yeah,
• 19:34
  what did you see out there? This game was in Laurel, right,
• 19:38
  it was Yeah, this was this was definitely a tale of two halves.
• 19:44
  It looked like in the beginning Meridian was eager to kind of, you know,
• 19:49
  go for it early deep passes and just kind of see what they could
• 19:56
  do. And they were, and they were hitting him right off the bat.
• 20:00
  Jaker five connected with Joshton Elmer on a thirty seven yard touchdown pass on
• 20:03
  the third or fourth play of the game, and Elmer was you know,
• 20:08
  Elmer was lined up, he was let lined up outside as as a wide
• 20:12
  receiver as he can do from time to time if needed, and and uh
• 20:17
  just kind of had his guy beat on an on an out pattern, deep
• 20:21
  out pattern, maybe twenty and out and then Five hit him perfectly. And
• 20:25
  then once he caught it and broke around the edge, you're not going to
• 20:26
  catch him after that. The next touchdown was a deep ball to his six
• 20:30
  six receiver James Headall, who jumped who out jumped his corner, the cornerback
• 20:34
  and came down with the ball in the end zone. Just you know,
• 20:37
  just high pointed it amazingly. Well, he's a he's a big time hurdler
• 20:41
  at the at the one A level and in the state. And then he
• 20:45
  hit Elmer again on a thirty nine yard pass, this time running kind of
• 20:48
  a go route out of the backfield, kind of a kind of like a
• 20:52
  swinging go or however you want to say that. Uh, and it just
• 20:56
  he was just open. I mean there were that you know, you try
• 20:57
  to put a linebacker on him and you're just it's not gonna work. With
• 21:00
  Elmer, he's the fastest kid on the field and H five hit him perfect.
• 21:03
  But you know, Jager five is really improved as far as just is
• 21:08
  growing and physically and bigger and stronger and throwing the ball better, and and
• 21:15
  his offensive line did so well giving him time. I said it last year,
• 21:19
  I think five he gives the best play fakes as far as you know,
• 21:25
  play action, you know, the way he delivers it and kind of
• 21:29
  pauses and then goes again. I thought Landon Smith was really good at it
• 21:32
  last year. Two but five has really gotten that down. It really really
• 21:34
  held the defense and uh, and then the second half it was more kind
• 21:38
  of running the ball and just kind of, you know, holding onto the
• 21:42
  lead. But granded falls looked good in the second half. They started throwing
• 21:45
  the ball kind of in the second quarter, did it a lot more in
• 21:48
  the second half. Their new quarterback looks great, but it was kind of
• 21:52
  too little, too late by that point. And and Meridian came out with
• 21:56
  the win. Two hundred and sixty seven total yards, four granted falls,
• 22:02
  four hundred and forty four for Meridian. I think if you're the coaching staff
• 22:07
  for Meridian, you have to be happy with the fact that you were able
• 22:11
  to get two hundred and twenty nine yards rushing and two hundred and fifteen yards
• 22:15
  passing. I mean, you talk about trying to have balance. That is
• 22:18
  about as balanced as you can get. And you know last year when they
• 22:22
  played it was the exact same way. It was like it was like two
• 22:25
  fifty five rushing and two fifty passing in this same game. So they just
• 22:30
  start out the year doing that balance wise is huge. Absolutely that you know
• 22:33
  what that's called Tyler, copy and place, copy and paste game plan is
• 22:37
  what it is. You mentioned Joshton Elmer fourteen carries ninety six yards. He
• 22:45
  also had two receiving touchdowns thirty seven and thirty nine because he had four catches
• 22:51
  for ninety seven yards. As a matter of fact, fifty percent touchdown rate
• 22:56
  for what would be recept options, meaning throw the guy the ball more.
• 23:03
  I mean, give it to him ten times. You'll run these guys out
• 23:06
  of the building. But yeah, so let's see here Jager five six carries
• 23:11
  fifty one yards on the ground. But then, uh, you know,
• 23:14
  big, pretty big day passing at least twelve completions twenty four twenty four attempts,
• 23:22
  and the two hundred and fifteen yards passing and three touchdowns. I mean,
• 23:26
  that's a really really nice start to the season for five. So yeah,
• 23:30
  I mean, maybe not the way you wanted to play in the second
• 23:33
  half, maybe not the overall score you felt like maybe you deserved a little
• 23:37
  bit, but a win is a win at this point. I mean,
• 23:40
  you take any win you can get, especially, you know, Tyler,
• 23:44
  and I want to say something here too. You mentioned it kind of a
• 23:48
  little bit like this is a Grant Falls that looks a little bit different than
• 23:49
  the Grant Falls teams of the past. Yeah, they looked. They looked
• 23:53
  a lot sharper. They have a lot more athletes there there there there,
• 23:57
  They're transfer quarterback looked very very good. He didn't really start throwing until about
• 24:02
  the second quarter and then it kind of, you know, kind of raised
• 24:03
  my eyebrows a little bit when he did. A very very natural thrower.
• 24:07
  But he's got guys out there that are making plays catching the ball too.
• 24:10
  So they looked. They looked pretty shure. They looked pretty good a couple
• 24:14
  of years ago too. I remember they had a really fast kid on their
• 24:18
  team and they made it. They made it to the state playoffs. But
• 24:22
  this looks different. This does not look like your typical Granted Falls teams that
• 24:26
  I've seen in the past. Again, Meridian twenty two to thirteen over Granted
• 24:32
  Falls out in Laurel Tyler maybe the game that most people in the county were
• 24:37
  looking at. This week. Ferndale heads over to Linden and comes away with
• 24:41
  the seventeen fourteen of victory, the first loss since the last time Ferndale beat
• 24:48
  Linden. Correct our first lost four Linden since the last time Ferndale beat Linden,
• 24:52
  yeah, two years ago on the same field. So the last time
• 24:55
  Lyndon lost was at home against Ferndale, as the last time they played him
• 24:59
  at home was a loss. So yeah, just uh when it was it
• 25:03
  was an amazing atmosphere, amazing game, and it was you know, it's
• 25:11
  it's one of those games that you know, it's kind of like how the
• 25:14
  NFL likes to kick off things on Thursday night with a big primetime game.
• 25:18
  Everybody wants to see the defending and the defending champs, right, right,
• 25:22
  because it's always the defending world champs. This time obviously Lindon, maybe not
• 25:25
  the world champ, but our our world champ, right, our two a
• 25:29
  world champ here at Walcome preps, right, So it was it, you
• 25:33
  know, and they're always posting, right, the defending's the world champ is
• 25:36
  always posting and that's kind of what this was like. And uh, big,
• 25:40
  big crowd, huge crowd, great atmosphere, great weather, everything.
• 25:47
  You know, all the luminaries were there, all the reporters were there,
• 25:48
  and the photographers were there. It was it was it was a lot of
• 25:52
  fun and you know to be honest, I was not expecting, you know,
• 26:00
  close game. I thought it might be about a ten point game,
• 26:02
  fourteen point game. But my goodness, Ferndale played so well and they did
• 26:08
  exactly what you would want to do if you were trying to beat Linden.
• 26:12
  They controlled the clock, you know, just keep it out of Brant Hepner's
• 26:17
  hands as much as you can do. And I mean they ran the ball
• 26:21
  for probably at least twenty to twenty five more plays than Lyndon did, if
• 26:25
  throughout the whole game. They looked great right off the bat, just pounded
• 26:29
  down the field, scored a touchdown on the opening drive, and then there
• 26:33
  was kind of some trading punts back and forth, going for it on fourth
• 26:36
  down, stuff like that for a little while. Linden got on the board
• 26:38
  with about a minute and a half to go in a half, Hepner hit
• 26:42
  speedy sophomore Danny Boler down the right sideline for a twenty eight yard touchdown pass.
• 26:48
  The pat kick was good, tied it up at seven at halftime.
• 26:52
  So you're thinking, okay, we got ourselves a game. A little bit.
• 26:56
  The thought was in my head and I talked about on the last podcast.
• 26:59
  I was gonna beat there for the first half and then go to see
• 27:02
  home Baker for the second half. But I stuck around. I stuck around
• 27:06
  for the whole game, and I'm glad that I did this. You know,
• 27:07
  the third quarter was kind of more that pounding the ball with talent.
• 27:11
  Bun guard. He's got a great lean, he's physical, uh he has
• 27:17
  he's faster than you think. He's got some good moves, a good stiff
• 27:21
  arm, you know, the good receiver out of the backfield. So we
• 27:23
  could do a lot of different things. And and Ferndale was just they was
• 27:27
  just bigger up front. If you could believe that, I mean it was,
• 27:32
  it was. It was a great showing by the offensive line and controlling
• 27:37
  the clock. I mean it was just go, go, go, drive,
• 27:40
  drive, drive, pound pound pound, get down the field, score
• 27:42
  another touchdown, and then you know, and Lennon had some troubles with with
• 27:48
  some receivers, dropping passes, just little things here and there. You know,
• 27:52
  Ferndale was going to try to kind of put it out of reach.
• 27:56
  About four minutes to go in the game. Uh, Phoenix pink bond attempt
• 28:00
  at a twenty six yard field goal. It was wide right, So It
• 28:03
  gave Lynden kind of new life. Down by seven, and they they went
• 28:11
  four and out on four incomplete passes. I want to say three of them
• 28:15
  were dropped and so you're just kind of like, oh my goodness, they
• 28:18
  you know, one of those could have really prolonged it. But because of
• 28:22
  that, Berndale regains possession at the twenty yard line again. You run a
• 28:26
  few plays, you attempt another field goal, You make it, this time
• 28:29
  to give them a ten point lead. Well, now you're looking pretty good
• 28:33
  with only a couple of minutes left in the game. Lynden gets the ball
• 28:36
  back, drives down the field. Now they're passing, Now they're hitting.
• 28:40
  Now they're connecting, catching the balls, picking up yards. They drive down
• 28:42
  the field really well. Hettner finds Isaiah Aldman on a slant to the left,
• 28:48
  and Aldman catches the ball at about the five and then muscles his way
• 28:51
  into the end zone. Canon puts in the extra point to make it seventeen
• 28:56
  fourteen. They try the on side kick and whoever's it, talent bung Guard
• 29:00
  recovers it. So after carrying the ball thirty times, he has enough energy
• 29:06
  to just fall on the on the on side attempt and pretty much end the
• 29:11
  game. It was a couple of kneel downs after that, and then Ferndale
• 29:14
  celebrated. It was a it was a great game, so much sportsmanship.
• 29:18
  I love to see that guy's helping other guys up, patting each other on
• 29:22
  the backside, on the helmet and just and just being great sports about everything.
• 29:26
  And this is a huge rivalry, but these guys are these guys were
• 29:32
  up for the task. You know. There was a lot of great things
• 29:33
  that I love. I thought Bishop OUTSI did really really well. I mean
• 29:38
  running the ball. I mean, he's a good athlete, but he didn't
• 29:41
  run a ton last year, but he was. He was keeping the ball
• 29:45
  on options and picking up big, big yards. I thought he did a
• 29:48
  great job running the ball, passing the ball. He had a deep went
• 29:49
  down the middle to Connor Walker, Connor Walker's stud man. I mean,
• 29:55
  I mean there's I mean, he could be the best player in Walking County.
• 29:57
  Uh He's just he's just so darned good and he's he's I don't know,
• 30:03
  I don't even He made some plays defensively where he's he's not even in
• 30:07
  the shot, and then he's just diving and making a play to knock a
• 30:11
  ball down, and and returning punts and doing all sorts of things. He
• 30:14
  was he was a difference maker out there. But it was a great game,
• 30:18
  two good teams going at it. Uh. It was a lot of
• 30:21
  fun to be there and to and it great. Gave me that great feeling
• 30:25
  of you know, walking County high school football is back, baby, and
• 30:29
  it felt it just felt great to be there and Lyndon, Lyndon, I
• 30:32
  must say, with only thirty two yards rushing, I looked back. I
• 30:34
  can I can remember a game where they were held to that less, that
• 30:37
  little amount of yards. The last time was when they lost the state championship
• 30:41
  to Siegra Woolie nine years ago. So that's the last time they were held
• 30:45
  to thirty two yards or less. So Ferndale defense, they really brought it.
• 30:52
  What you're telling me, Tyler is right now. Ferndale's defense is the
• 30:59
  Vegas odds on favorite to be the number one player in the top one hundred
• 31:02
  countdown. The entire Ferndale defense is going to get it. Yeah right,
• 31:07
  I mean, that's that's what I'm hearing. That's what I know. The
• 31:10
  coach Tosels here and that and He's like, yeah it is. Yeah,
• 31:12
  he's like putting the money down to night now boys, yeah boy. And
• 31:17
  I shout out to coach osel two for wearing the this this old Ferndale football
• 31:22
  slicker. He put it on right before kickoff and I loved it because it's
• 31:26
  this old school Ferndale Like, oh man, it looked awesome and it just
• 31:32
  as soon as he put it on, I just I just like nodded,
• 31:34
  like that looks great. It was, you know, and Coach Endigs with
• 31:37
  the shoes, man, he might have had the best shoes out of all
• 31:40
  the coaches. It was. It was a lot of fun to stand on
• 31:42
  that on that sideline and and just be be a part of it all.
• 31:45
  It was a just all. I love the atmosphere. You know what I'd
• 31:48
  like to see. I'd like to see one of those guys wearing like a
• 31:51
  old school eighties like members only jacket, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 31:56
  that's that's what I'd like to see, Tyler. I'm looking over the
• 31:57
  box score here and I see some pretty interest same things. All right,
• 32:00
  Yeah is this right? Thirty nine total plays for Linden. Hey, you
• 32:06
  know that was the game plan. I would imagine is just run the ball
• 32:09
  and keep the ball out at their hands. Now, a lot of incomplete
• 32:13
  passes will cause you know, you know a lot of three outs and it'll
• 32:17
  shorten the time, but then it gives time for Ferndale who wants to run
• 32:21
  the ball that they'll control the clock. So yeah, you're absolutely right.
• 32:23
  Thirty nine total offensive plays. Yeah, and I mean I'm looking like this
• 32:29
  is I mean, it's pretty surprising. And you mentioned you mentioned only the
• 32:35
  thirty air excuse me, the thirty two rushing yards and that's I mean,
• 32:39
  that's only a couple of yards to carry here. I mean, we're we're
• 32:43
  talking about some crazy stuff here. When I look over at Ferndale, I
• 32:46
  see sixty three total offensive plays. I mean sixty three to thirty nine.
• 32:51
  That is a little a little bit of a butt kicking in a way.
• 32:54
  One hundred and ninety total yards for Linden, three hundred and sixty eight for
• 32:59
  Ferndale. I mean, this is a you know, maybe the score doesn't
• 33:01
  show it, but statistically it just feels like a game that Ferndale really kind
• 33:07
  of put their hammer down in a way, you know what I mean,
• 33:08
  Like they kind of just said, like Hey, we're the bigger we're the
• 33:12
  bigger team here, and we're going to kind of let you know it.
• 33:14
  I mean, it's pretty interesting to see talent bun guard thirty carries one hundred
• 33:17
  and forty two yards, two touchdowns, one from seven or excuse me,
• 33:22
  one was a pass from seven three yard run, and then he also had
• 33:28
  three catches for twenty five yards. I mean, talk about an all around
• 33:31
  effort. And then I'm sure he did some stuff on defense, Tyler,
• 33:35
  this guy had I mean, I but he slept real well on Friday night.
• 33:38
  I would imagine he did. Oh man, yeah, defensively, you
• 33:42
  know, he wasn't in there as much. I saw that a lot.
• 33:45
  You know, you see this in week one, especially when it's hot out
• 33:47
  still and guys are cramping. You know, there was a lot of these
• 33:51
  big time guys that carry the ball a lot that we're getting rest on defense
• 33:55
  a little bit, and and you know, he was kind of one of
• 33:59
  those guys. But but man, just what is outstanding effort for talent bunk
• 34:02
  Hard you know, to carry the ball thirty times in Week one against that
• 34:07
  defense in the heat, Oh boy, it was. It was something to
• 34:10
  watch, Tyler. You want to know what's something to watch. I like
• 34:15
  seeing the name fink Bonner in the rushing stats. Yeah, I like seeing
• 34:19
  it, Tyler. You know why? You know why I like it so
• 34:22
  much, though, Tyler, because that means we're gonna say fink Bonner every
• 34:27
  single week, That's right. Yeah. Overall, I mean it looks like
• 34:31
  a game that Ferndale kind of controlled. But at the same time, the
• 34:35
  score says seventeen fourteen, So it sounds like, Tyler, you got to
• 34:37
  see yourself one heck of a football game again. Ferndale seventeen fourteen over Lynden
• 34:45
  up there on Friday night. Uh, now, way out East and I
• 34:49
  mean way out east. Uh. Lakeside of nine Mile Falls squeaks out of
• 34:53
  fourteen to eight win over Lynden, Christian Tyler. A game that was oddly
• 35:00
  eight eight at halftime. I mean, you don't see too many eight eighths,
• 35:04
  but eight eight at halftime, and then all we had was two field
• 35:08
  goals in the second half from Lakeside and nine Mile Falls and that's your final
• 35:13
  score. Fourteen to eight. Lakeside beats Lennon. Christian Tyler. What did
• 35:16
  you see there? Yeah? I mean I was a little surprised when when
• 35:20
  I heard about it. You know, I'm texting parents and stuff, trying
• 35:23
  to get all the scores, put the scoreboard together, and and not hearing
• 35:28
  from any puddy, and I thought, oh, that might not be a
• 35:30
  good sign. And I finally did and heard the score, and I and
• 35:35
  we both know how good Lakeside is and they made a deep run last year,
• 35:38
  and you know, Lennon Christian traveling pretty far to get there. I
• 35:43
  think what I was surprised about was just the low score overall. I was
• 35:46
  expecting a much higher game, much higher scoring game. And you know,
• 35:52
  in the beginning it was Lyndy Christians defense was unbelievable. Lakeside was three and
• 35:57
  out the first three possessions. I mean, it was just boom boom boom
• 35:59
  punt. But they couldn't do anything. And uh and Lennon Christian, the
• 36:04
  offense just wasn't There's just something that wasn't clicking right. The running game was
• 36:09
  not there. You know, then they would then they would you know,
• 36:14
  pick up a first down, but then there'd be a maybe a bad snap
• 36:16
  and they'd lose fifteen yards or there. You know, there'd be something like
• 36:21
  that. It just kind of wasn't wasn't jelling very well. They finally was
• 36:27
  able to get on the board when they threw a little hitched out to Kayden
• 36:31
  Stight, who was lined up why they played tight endmost of the game and
• 36:35
  Stights so big and strong. He broke a couple of tackles and then he's
• 36:38
  got that really good speed too. So they bolted down the line, scored
• 36:42
  a touchdown, and then a high snap on the extra point caused the holder,
• 36:46
  Eli Maybury, to roll out and throw it into the end zone.
• 36:50
  It gets it gets knocked in the air, deflected, Trevn Blair catches it
• 36:52
  out of the air for the two point conversion. Not exactly how you draw
• 36:55
  it up, but they got the eight eight zero lead. Lakeside comes down.
• 36:59
  They finally, you know, Lakeside, they weren't doing much, but
• 37:02
  then there'd be like a forty yard completion or a thirty yard run. There'd
• 37:07
  be like one big play that would kind of spark some things. And then
• 37:09
  they found some magic on some fly sweeps they were getting around the edge.
• 37:15
  They saw something that said, I bet if we can just run outside,
• 37:17
  we can get outside these guys and pick up some yards and it just started
• 37:21
  working back and forth and back and forth. It started working pretty well.
• 37:24
  They get down, they score, they score, touchdown. They two went
• 37:28
  for two and tied it up, so it was eight eight at halftime.
• 37:32
  You know, Lennon Christian had a chance right right before half two because right
• 37:36
  after their touchdown Dawson Bowman returned the kickoff inside the Lakeside twenty yard line.
• 37:42
  He had like a seventy eight yard kickoff return or something like that. He
• 37:45
  gets brought down right there. Elsie is not able to punch it in from
• 37:49
  there. Some you know, they kind of stalled out, and then in
• 37:52
  the second half it was kind of more of the same. Lennon Christian started
• 37:55
  turning the ball over. Lakeside was they attempted three goals in the second half
• 38:00
  and they made two of them. And that was the difference. I mean,
• 38:02
  you know, it's kind of rainy and sloppy out there, and and
• 38:06
  Lakeside I think maybe just adjusted to it a little bit better. They found
• 38:10
  some things that worked in the running game, and like I was saying,
• 38:14
  with those outside runs, they just kind of started working out. And you
• 38:17
  know, again, you know, you throw four interceptions, that's tough to
• 38:21
  win a game when you when you do that, and they almost did that
• 38:23
  was the thing. And and uh but there's you know, it's early,
• 38:27
  that's a long road trip against a very good team. It's a non league
• 38:30
  game. Uh, little Lynda Christians. They did some really good things on
• 38:36
  defense and they got some playmakers. So uh, they'll they'll they'll be back
• 38:39
  next week for sure. Yeah. When I look over the total stats here,
• 38:44
  I mean it's it's it's kind of a weird, weird looking game.
• 38:47
  I think the thing that stands out the most Tyler between Elsie and Lynden,
• 38:52
  that city did not have a lot of rushing yards. Yeah, I mean
• 38:54
  they really didn't. I mean it's it's pretty wild to see. I never
• 38:58
  would have guessed that. You know, if if you have said to me,
• 39:00
  hey, these guys are going to have less than one hundred yards combined
• 39:04
  to rushing between the two schools, I would I would have laughed you.
• 39:06
  I mean I would have I would have been like, ha ha ha.
• 39:08
  I mean, there's no way that's happening, right. But it did.
• 39:13
  LC ends up with one hundred and sixty nine yards a total offense lakeside of
• 39:16
  nine mile falls one hundred and eighty five nineteen carries for twenty three yards.
• 39:22
  Not exactly what you expect at LC twelve carries fifteen yards for Jeremiah Wright,
• 39:28
  who also went eighteen of twenty nine passing for one hundred and forty six yards.
• 39:32
  Yeah, all in all, just kind of not really what you expected.
• 39:36
  They're out of Lynn and Christian, but we got a little confidence.
• 39:39
  I think they'll get it together. I think they're gonna be just fine.
• 39:44
  Tyler. One last game here, or excuse me, two games left,
• 39:46
  but this is a Saturday game and then we're gonna go back to Friday.
• 39:51
  Right, Yes, so you were out of this one at Civic Stadium.
• 39:57
  Now, not exactly what we thought when we had the previous going here.
• 40:00
  Yeah, that's right now. First off, we recorded the preview really early,
• 40:05
  so it was, yeah, not much you could do about it.
• 40:07
  That being set. Chief Self not Cleveland, although the two schools are not
• 40:13
  all that far apart. Chief Self came up to play Bellingham and came out
• 40:17
  with a thirty two to twenty seven win over the BayHawks. This is a
• 40:22
  game that was fairly close, and then in the fourth quarter Chief Self goes
• 40:27
  for fourteen and Bellingham gets six, and that is the ball game thirty two
• 40:31
  twenty seven. Tyler, what did you see out there at Civic Stadium.
• 40:35
  Well, it was a pretty exciting game, a lot of back and forth,
• 40:37
  some very athletic players on both sides. I'll tell you one thing I
• 40:40
  did see. There was more touchdowns in the game than there were chief self
• 40:44
  fans and the opposing stands. So that was, you know, kind of
• 40:49
  a site to see. But but yeah, you know it was it was
• 40:53
  emotional right off the bat. There was a tribute to Mark Scolton before the
• 40:58
  game. Mark, of course a Bellingham graduate from nineteen eighty seven, and
• 41:02
  we talked about him in our last podcast. But they let the cheerleaders let
• 41:07
  off fifty four balloons in the air because Mark lived to be fifty four years
• 41:10
  old, and they did a tribute to him, and the Wacom County executor
• 41:15
  uh named it, you know, September twenty twenty three Mark Scolton Month in
• 41:20
  Walkom County. I mean, he was such a big deal and month and
• 41:23
  yeah, not just day, I mean that's huge, a whole month.
• 41:28
  Yeah, and you know, his family was out there, his mom and
• 41:30
  dad were out there on the field and Rick Todd was out there. A
• 41:32
  friend of his who's also broadcasted with him. He's a friend of mine,
• 41:37
  you know, gave a gave a fun little speech and and is that you
• 41:43
  know kind of that was emotional. But there was time to play football and
• 41:46
  it was it was hot. It was hot on the field. Uh,
• 41:50
  you know, Saturday afternoon was at least eighty degrees and it was a lot.
• 41:55
  It was just it was kind of back and forth and you look at
• 41:58
  you could look at the box score and kind of see that. But right
• 42:00
  up the bat, you know, chief self was pinned back after holding Bates
• 42:05
  punt and then they had to punt from their own end zone. The punter
• 42:07
  kind of mishandled it. Uh, he gets tackled the end zone, the
• 42:12
  ball pops out, Rourke O'Malley falls on it for the first score of the
• 42:15
  game. Evan Easley kicks the extra point, belling hims up seven. Nothing.
• 42:20
  But after that, you know, chief self was able to go down
• 42:22
  their quarterback. It was a four year starters and he definitely made some good
• 42:29
  plays out there, you know, running when he had to. He had
• 42:30
  a good arm, so he was he was out there making plays. He
• 42:34
  scored on a quarterback sneak and then Chief self got to pick six in the
• 42:38
  second quarter. That kind of changed the momentum a little bit. And then
• 42:43
  they were able to kick a field goal right before the half, so they
• 42:45
  had eighteen to seven lead at halftime, and I was kind of thinking,
• 42:49
  oh, man, I hope they don't run away with it, because a
• 42:51
  lot of times in years past, you know, Bellingham would get down by
• 42:53
  a score, two scores at halftime and it just kind of got away.
• 42:58
  But it was totally different in the third quarter. Belling him was kind of
• 43:02
  you know, instead of maybe going for the long past, they started throwing
• 43:05
  some short ones to the tight end. Gave Van hoffwag and who had a
• 43:07
  great game. I really loved watching him play. Such a tough kid,
• 43:12
  you know, got forced into action as a quarterback for most of the year
• 43:15
  last year. Now he's back at home as a tight end. He's a
• 43:16
  big, strong kid. He did really, really well, and Josh Leonard
• 43:21
  and him had a really good connection going on, especially in the third quarter.
• 43:24
  And Tyler Frost running the ball. My goodness, you know it's not
• 43:30
  pretty, but he is bowling over guys left and right. It is I
• 43:36
  mean He probably broke between three or four tackles on average per carry. I
• 43:40
  mean, and I'm not even kidding, there's no hyperbole there. He was
• 43:45
  so hard to bring down. He had a lot of ten plus yard runs
• 43:49
  where it looked like girl Campbell running the ball and and then eventually they got
• 43:53
  down. He scores a touchdown Ben Haffwag and caught a touchdown pass Belling him,
• 43:58
  took a lead, took a twenty one eighteen lead going into the fourth
• 44:00
  quarter, and then chief self started started running the ball a little bit as
• 44:06
  Prince Mayota, you know, carried. He didn't touch the ball until the
• 44:08
  fourth quarter. He starts doing really well and then he scores on a touchdown
• 44:13
  run too, and then the lead changed back. Now at this point Bellingham
• 44:15
  was down and and they scored on a fifty two yard touchdown run by Tyler
• 44:22
  Frost, but it was nullified due to a penalty, and that would have
• 44:25
  given Bellingham the lead late with late in the game, like with three minutes
• 44:30
  to go, four minutes to go, something like that, and it just
• 44:32
  kind of sucked the air out of him. Frost was winded after that.
• 44:37
  He see him walking back and just sat on the bench, Like, my
• 44:39
  goodness, he goes, I just ran three everybody and scored that long,
• 44:44
  that long touchdown down the left sideline and and uh, and he's like,
• 44:49
  I'm gonna sit down. It's so hot out here. He came back in
• 44:51
  and ran a little bit more and played some special teams in defense. But
• 44:54
  but it was just too bad because that penalty knocked them back. They can't
• 44:59
  get the first down. They punt it. Then right after that, chief
• 45:00
  self scores to put it a little bit more out of reach on a long
• 45:04
  touchdown pass, and Bellingham by that point was down by two scores. Uh,
• 45:09
  they came back late. They made a big drive at the end.
• 45:13
  Josh Leonard actually, who I've never seen him run the ball. He was
• 45:15
  a starter all year last year, and you know, I'd seen him maybe
• 45:20
  roll out a few times. He is the classic pocket passer. He rolled
• 45:23
  out a little bit and then he started and he started tucking and running.
• 45:27
  I've never seen him tuck and run. He made like three guys miss and
• 45:30
  ran probably sixty yards to pick up a twenty one yard touchdown. Really really
• 45:34
  surprised me, to be honest, I didn't know he had it in him.
• 45:37
  But he just wanted that touchdown more than anything. He got it,
• 45:40
  but they just it just they just ran out of time. I mean,
• 45:43
  it was an exciting game to watch. There was some guys that I was
• 45:46
  excited to see. Unfortunately, Josh Toole, you know, Muscle Beach,
• 45:51
  I was really excited to see him. He gets hurt right off the bat.
• 45:53
  So there goes their their their main weapon as a receiver. So we
• 45:58
  kind of had to change some things. But throwing deep to Bly Henderson worked
• 46:00
  a couple of times. Short passes, they'll they'll push passes to Nate Loss
• 46:06
  h finding holding baits out of the backfield. There were some good things.
• 46:08
  I thought the line play played really well. O'Malley on defense was great.
• 46:14
  Kaiser Barker is a sophomore defensive end. They had a couple of sophomores.
• 46:16
  Kaiser Barker and Jordan Stone both had a ton of tackles. They racked up,
• 46:21
  you know, fifteen tackles between them, with three tackles for loss and
• 46:23
  a forced fumble. Nate Loss had a couple of interceptions. Owen Hanst had
• 46:29
  an interception. Jesse Harwood had a couple of tackles for loss. So there
• 46:31
  was some really positive moments in that game, and I just I love how
• 46:36
  they fought throughout the whole thing. They didn't hang their shoulders at halftime.
• 46:38
  They played great in the third quarter, they came back, they regained the
• 46:42
  lead. It they just kind of ran out of time at the end.
• 46:45
  Three hundred and fifty nine total yards of offense for chief self, three hundred
• 46:51
  and twenty for Bellingham. So, I mean, I think that is a
• 46:54
  massive improvement over what they were accomplishing last year. And you know, good
• 47:00
  maybe get the defense going a little bit here, they can do some good
• 47:01
  things. Josh Leonard, you mentioned having some rushing yards two two carries for
• 47:08
  four yards. Now Tyler he had a twenty one yard touchdown run. So
• 47:13
  explained to me what happened here, Well, there was a snap that went
• 47:15
  over his head that he felt in the ball, So there was a play
• 47:17
  where he lost what would that be not his fault? Seventeen yards not his
• 47:22
  fault. Uh yeah, But then you know, seventeen to thirty four passing
• 47:28
  for one hundred and ninety four yards. All in all, you know,
• 47:30
  a solid game for Leonard. You mentioned Tyler Frost just kind of carrying a
• 47:36
  lot of a load, uh, seventeen carries for one hundred and twenty three
• 47:38
  yards. Yeah, I mean the receivers very much spread it around here,
• 47:44
  Tyler. I'm seeing one, two, three, I'm seeing four different receivers.
• 47:47
  And you know you mentioned Nate loss having a nice day eight receptions for
• 47:52
  him, van Hoffwagen four for him, Holding Bates three catches, Bli Henderson
• 47:59
  two catches. So definitely moving the ball around. I mean it's not like
• 48:02
  not like there's one guy pulling in fifteen catches and the next closest guy has
• 48:07
  two. You know what I mean, Like this is a good distribution of
• 48:10
  the ball. So, uh, you know something. I think they'll get
• 48:14
  it. They'll get it together here a little bit, and it's gonna be
• 48:16
  interesting to see what happens there with with Bellingham, but they do fall this
• 48:20
  week thirty two, twenty seven to the Chief Self Seahawks. Now, Tyler,
• 48:28
  we get to the final game of the week between Mount Baker and Sea
• 48:30
  Home, and Tyler, we have a special guest here for that game.
• 48:36
  A new segment here on the WACOM Preps podcast called Coaches Corner. Tyler,
• 48:39
  why don't you tell everybody who the coach is? And why he's hanging out
• 48:43
  over there in the corner. Yeah, it's it's coach Jeff Wood. Born
• 48:47
  and raised in Montana, University of Montana graduate. Back in two thousand and
• 48:52
  seven, he started teaching and coaching at Ferndale High School football and baseball,
• 48:57
  and then ten years later moved to See Home the same year that coach Beason
• 49:00
  started coaching football and six years coaching there coaching football and he's still the boys
• 49:07
  golf coach. Coach Wood, it's great to have you on the podcast.
• 49:10
  How are you doing. I'm doing great. Thanks for having me guys.
• 49:15
  Longtime listener, Yeah, longtime listener, first time caller. So, uh,
• 49:20
  coach, you were out there. This game was at at at Mount
• 49:22
  Baker, right. It was beautiful night out there, great grass field and
• 49:30
  big crowd. Yeah, it seems like they always have good crowds out there.
• 49:34
  First game, you don't you don't know what's going to happen, and
• 49:37
  it was a good one. Yeah. So just looking over the box score
• 49:39
  here, I see zero zero at the end of one and then a couple
• 49:43
  of quarters in a row of us see Home going fourteen and fourteen to take
• 49:46
  a twenty eight nothing lead before mole Baker got on the board. What'd you
• 49:50
  see out there? Thirty five to twelve of the final score. Tell us
• 49:53
  about the game, Well, both teams pretty young, they lost a lot,
• 50:00
  and you know, so again contrasting styles, uh see, Homes kind
• 50:06
  of spreading it out a little bit more this year and Bakers they're traditional.
• 50:10
  What they've been running wing tea uh you know, traditional, doing great execution
• 50:16
  for many years under coach Leap and uh, you know, everybody was excited
• 50:21
  to see the teams go at it. And you know with Sea Home spreading
• 50:27
  it out that definitely they have some athletes and uh you know, good quarterback
• 50:35
  receivers. Pretty uh young line overall, but a couple of guys there that
• 50:40
  are returned. You know, they were able to uh you know, in
• 50:46
  a lot of two by two sets and some three by one bunch, uh
• 50:52
  you know, and that key kept Baker in kind of the two safety look
• 50:57
  right, two deep safeties, and they were able to move the ball pretty
• 51:00
  effectively, both on the ground and in the air. And their first touchdown
• 51:07
  was a nice little short screen passed to Andrea Watson, right, electric receiver,
• 51:14
  very dynamic player, and he got in there with some good blocking,
• 51:16
  and I mess this up in the story, so I gotta correct myself.
• 51:22
  Braddick Duckworth was blocking, uh and Kolby Chambers was usually in on that set
• 51:28
  and made some good blocks as well, But on that play it was actually
• 51:30
  Grady Evans a good block there to see the hedge. Yeah, pretty successful
• 51:37
  night first half, jumping out on offense for Sea Home in the second quarter.
• 51:43
  Now, when when you look over the box score here, one of
• 51:45
  the things I noticed is, you know, moult Baker two hundred and ninety
• 51:47
  four total yards, Sea Home four hundred and seventeen and kind of the the
• 51:52
  trio if you will, of Nolan Wright and Braddock Duckworth and Andre Watson.
• 51:59
  They really got the is going in that second and third quarter. And then
• 52:02
  was it kind of cruise mode there in the fourth quarter for the for the
• 52:06
  Mariners? Uh get the game was? Yeah, I would say Sea Home
• 52:10
  had control there and Nolan right, you know, last year when we had
• 52:15
  him, we were running, you know, a little bit different offense where
• 52:19
  he wasn't throwing the ball quite as much from under center. But when we
• 52:23
  asked him to hed he did a great job as a freshman and he's he's
• 52:27
  a great athlete and he's he's kind of taking that that next step and just
• 52:32
  real patient back there. He's his athleticism a couple of times to avoid the
• 52:37
  rush, and good play calling by Sea Home because they were just hitting the
• 52:43
  zones there, Uh that were open receivers were sitting down the zones and not
• 52:47
  not being greedy and just kind of marching down the field on on some of
• 52:51
  those drives and as well as running the ball. They had a freshman running
• 52:55
  back, Nicki Smith come in and was running the ball well, Uh,
• 53:00
  get some getting some good yards yards on the ground. When you think about
• 53:06
  Braddock Duckworth, this is a kid that you know, he's had a couple
• 53:07
  of big games here there. He's a big receiver, he's got length,
• 53:12
  he's got athleticism. You know, just what is the from your standpoint,
• 53:17
  this is a kid you coached. What is what is kind of the scouting
• 53:21
  report on a guy like Braddock Duckworth. Ah, I mean he can't teach
• 53:27
  tight and athleticism. He's a good athlete, definitely, He's going to play
• 53:31
  college volleyball down in California next year. Uh, and just just a hard
• 53:37
  nosed kid. Still you know not you know, there's not a two hundred
• 53:43
  and fifty two hundred and seventy pound kid, but he's as tough as you'll
• 53:45
  find and just savvy too. Like I said, sit down in those zones
• 53:51
  and and knowing as a uh, you know, he's I believe they only
• 53:54
  have two seniors him in offensive lineman BackStar Arts just really stepped into a leadership
• 54:00
  role as that senior and uh, you know, had a one handed catch
• 54:06
  late in the game, real nice play and also had a touchdown on a
• 54:12
  just a just a tight end dump and that play you know, see Home
• 54:15
  had had a nice drive and just it was a nice play because set up
• 54:22
  they had Andre Watson in the slot, so they had the free baker,
• 54:24
  had their free safety over shading over him helping out, and so Braddock was
• 54:30
  pretty much one on one and little play fake just held the linebacker's eyes for
• 54:35
  a for a second and only just hit him right over the middle for one
• 54:39
  of their touchdowns in the second half. Tyler, do you have the defensive
• 54:44
  numbers up for this game in front of you? Yeah, see Home had
• 54:49
  you know a few guys that had some big games. Braddock defensively as well.
• 54:52
  Five and a half tackles one tackle for loss. I really really liked
• 55:00
  that. That middle linebacker coach he uh his name is escaping room with me
• 55:05
  right now, number thirty seven. But he had a lot of tackles.
• 55:07
  He had like seven tackles, two sacks. What what's his name? Also,
• 55:13
  Cooper mctee and Carl Bach were kind of the most of most of the
• 55:16
  time in those inside linebacker spots. Yeah four and those are both uh,
• 55:22
  you know, first year starters. And they did a good job, you
• 55:24
  know, because the wing t is tough. You got to be a real
• 55:27
  sound and uh, you know, don't don't go for the eye candy and
• 55:31
  I thought they played well. But on the other hand, Baker, they
• 55:37
  really move the ball well at times and executed, uh they're running game,
• 55:43
  you know with the deep counter trap. But they kind of balked down a
• 55:47
  little bit in the in the red zone a couple of times. Uh see
• 55:52
  homes stiffened and you know, they brought their safeties up in the box when
• 55:55
  you're in the red zone, which obviously dukes you don't have to defend the
• 56:00
  length of the field. And they made a couple of nice plays and you
• 56:05
  know that really changed the momentum, you know, when it was close there
• 56:08
  in that first half, see Home got a couple of stops and then got
• 56:12
  a couple of scores, and uh, it's hard to come back, you
• 56:16
  know, when you're down a couple of scores, running running the ball as
• 56:21
  much as Baker does. But they'll be they'll be all right. Those guys
• 56:23
  will have them coached up. Uh. You know, Coach Lepper and Derrick
• 56:30
  Johnson, who I coached golf against, stop out there and it's tried and
• 56:35
  true, so they'll keep it going. Big golf coaching rivalry there. Huh,
• 56:39
  that's right. Uh, Tyler, you got anything else about this game,
• 56:45
  or you got anything for coach? Yeah, no, I mean he's
• 56:49
  absolutely right. It was you know, Mount Baker was able to get some
• 56:51
  yards, but they you know, they missed a field goal early on,
• 56:54
  they were stopped on fourth down. On the next drive, they were driving
• 56:57
  the length of the field and see him made the stops when it was needed,
• 57:00
  and then they scored when it was needed, and coach was Coach said
• 57:02
  it right on the money. When you're down by two, two or three
• 57:07
  scores, it's hard to be that kind of running offense and get back.
• 57:12
  Uh they brought they put out their new sophomore quarterback, uh Toga Tegalu,
• 57:16
  and he had a deep touchdown late. He throws the ball pretty well,
• 57:21
  but you know, first varsity start us always going to be rough and uh
• 57:24
  but he did okay five and nine passing for ninety yards, so you know,
• 57:30
  like and exactly like what coach said. Uh see, Home did the
• 57:32
  right thing, spreading out their athletes, getting them, getting them open,
• 57:36
  getting them in the right spots. And Baker is going to be just fine.
• 57:38
  I mean, they they know what they do. They do it well.
• 57:43
  They just had trouble finding the end zone until the fourth quarter. So
• 57:46
  I like it. Well. Uh yeah, see Home thirty five twelve over
• 57:51
  Mount Baker out there in beautiful Deming, Washington. Uh. That's it for
• 57:57
  Coach's Corner this week. Jeff Wood, the coach in Coaches Corner, thank
• 58:00
  you for your time and we will talk to you next week. All right,
• 58:04
  thanks guys. All right, Tyler, Well that's in for the box
• 58:07
  scores. Let's move on to the pick them not gonna lie pretty ugly week
• 58:12
  here for our pickums. Now that being said, the game between Chief Self
• 58:17
  and Bellingham, we threw that one out because it was too late by the
• 58:22
  time to try to get everything going. So we originally had Cleveland in there.
• 58:27
  We didn't want to just go Cleveland Bellingham. Oh hey, let's just
• 58:30
  move it over to chief self. So that game gets thrown out. So
• 58:32
  everybody only picked technically seven games this week, even though there were eight games
• 58:37
  played. But Tyler, you went three and four, Nate goes four and
• 58:42
  three. Connor in the lead right now, well, tied for the lead
• 58:45
  with a guy we'll talk about here in a second five and two. And
• 58:50
  then I get to kiss of death here four and three because Jeff Beard and
• 58:53
  also went four and three. So gonna be a long season for me.
• 58:58
  Joe consensus, Joseph consensus five and two. So Joe and Connor tied at
• 59:05
  five and two. Three of us, Me, Nate, and the guests.
• 59:09
  This week it was Jeff, but the guests they coming at four and
• 59:14
  three along with me and Nate. And then Tyler, you're bringing up the

  because we do record it early enough to put it out a day early.
• 1:00:23
  Right, We'll see about maybe we got it. We have to talk about
• 1:00:29
  stuff first. Yeah, I mean I need to sleep, That's one thing
• 1:00:31
  I need to do, because I literally got home from a flight from New
• 1:00:36
  York City, got off the bus at the high school, got in my
• 1:00:39
  car, drove back here, and went straight to recording with you. So
• 1:00:44
  yeah, I'm not gonna see. What you're saying is that this is the
• 1:00:46
  highlight of your weekend right here, well other than being the crap out of
• 1:00:50
  Curtis High School thirty four nothing on Friday night. Yeah, sure, Tyler,
• 1:00:55
  let's move on talk about players of the week. Obviously, we we've
• 1:01:00
  talked about this before. Offensive defensive Special teams player of the Week, which
• 1:01:04
  by the way, is sponsored by the Pets of Real Estate, and we'll
• 1:01:07
  talk about that when we get to it. But we also have offensive linemen.
• 1:01:13
  So Tyler, let's start off with the offensive player of the week this
• 1:01:15
  week. Who wins the Offensive Player of the week. Yeah, this was
• 1:01:20
  a tough one. There was a lot of good performances out there, but
• 1:01:23
  when you take into account the opponent and everything and what it meant to his
• 1:01:29
  team talent. Bung guard with thirty carries for one hundred and forty two yards,
• 1:01:32
  three catches for twenty five yards, two total touchdowns scored both Ferndale touchdowns.
• 1:01:38
  Gotta give it to him. I mean, they relied on him so
• 1:01:40
  much. There were so many times when he would carry the ball three or
• 1:01:45
  four times in a row just trying to sustain drives, keep the ball out
• 1:01:47
  of Lindon's hands. I just thought that his ability as a difference maker went
• 1:01:52
  a long ways. Yes, Joey Brown, you know, had more yards,
• 1:01:57
  and Riley Ide had more touchdowns and one right through for four touchdowns.
• 1:02:00
  These guys all had amazing games. But what telling bung Gard did against that
• 1:02:04
  defense set a lot and he really set the tone for the Ferndale Golden Eagles.
• 1:02:09
  Speaking of that defense, Tyler who wins the Defensive Player of the week.
• 1:02:15
  And this was this was another tough one and I was I was crunching
• 1:02:17
  over the numbers, and you know how I am. I have my little
• 1:02:20
  point system and I kind of have it all set up and it usually goes
• 1:02:23
  to the guy who has the most points, and and it did again this
• 1:02:28
  week, and it was it was Charlie Ayres, you know, the new
• 1:02:30
  starting inside linebacker for Linden h he's calling all the signals. He's kind of
• 1:02:34
  the quarterback of the defense back there. And and boy, he met bung
• 1:02:37
  Gard a lot of times between the tackles. He racked up fifteen and a
• 1:02:40
  half tackles himself. Just an unbelievable game that just you know, just toughest
• 1:02:47
  nails. Not the biggest guy, but he's just built like one of those
• 1:02:52
  Linden linebackers, not afraid to stick his nose in there. And and he
• 1:02:54
  had a heck of a game. Now we get to the special one here,
• 1:02:59
  Tyler, because Pets real Estate has jumped on to sponsor the Special Team's
• 1:03:04
  Player of the Week. Pets real Estate your preferred a real estate agency and
• 1:03:07
  a wadcom county. You can find out more at pets real Estate dot com.
• 1:03:12
  Tyler, who is the Pets real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week.
• 1:03:16
  Well, it was apparent right off the bat. Like I said,
• 1:03:19
  it happened before they could even turn the lights on at Civic Stadium, NVA.
• 1:03:22
  Egging from Squalacum, Storm returned up a punt seventy one yards for a
• 1:03:27
  touchdown that really set the tone. Boy, his athleticism just jumps off the
• 1:03:31
  screen and and that and that punt return was just I mean dynamic, just
• 1:03:37
  weaving through guys and just kicking on the afterburners at the very at the very
• 1:03:40
  end there for the final thirty yard or so. And and yeah, Neva
• 1:03:45
  Egging from Squalacum is your Pets Real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week.
• 1:03:49
  I think we need to get a sponsor for the offensive line, our offensive
• 1:03:52
  alignment of the week, because you know this guy here that's gonna win it.
• 1:03:58
  I think we should go maybe try to get like Duke's Mayo. But
• 1:04:00
  Tyler, do you wanna tell us who the offensive Linemen of the Week was?
• 1:04:04
  Yeah, Duke kliapiapi on the left guard for the Pioneers. He uh,
• 1:04:10
  you know, led the way for four hundred plus yards rushing. Uh,
• 1:04:15
  just just plowing guys over. He's just a complete mismatch, tipping the
• 1:04:18
  scales about three hundred and thirteen pounds. Now. It's just as quick,
• 1:04:23
  just as nasty. He had some great plays where he was pulling and you're
• 1:04:26
  just kicking out those guys. I mean, it's how he's been doing it
• 1:04:30
  for so long. It's crazy to believe that you know, he's still there.
• 1:04:33
  It's kind of like when Tyler Hansborro was playing for North Carolina, It's
• 1:04:38
  like, yeah, he's the all time leader and points scored for the ACC,
• 1:04:42
  but didn't he play for the Didn't he play for the tar Heels for
• 1:04:44
  like seven years or something like that. That's what it feels like with with
• 1:04:46
  Duke. It's it's a lot of fun watch him to play, and and
• 1:04:51
  you know, I've seen him up and close and on the sidelines and always
• 1:04:54
  a big, big smile on his face. You could tell he loves what
• 1:04:57
  he's doing out there. I love the Tyler Hansboro friends, one of one
• 1:05:00
  of my favorite UNC guys. I I'm not gonna lie a little surprisedly you
• 1:05:04
  throw that one out there. So yeah, Offensively Talent Bundguard out of Ferndale.
• 1:05:10
  Defensively Charlie Ayers out of Linden, uh Pets real Estate, the Special
• 1:05:14
  Teams Player of the Week, the Via Egging and on the offensive line,
• 1:05:16
  the Duke hallaap Yapi our guy Duke week won Fantasy Tyler, you got any
• 1:05:25
  thoughts before we tell everybody who won? Well, it was crazy because and
• 1:05:29
  this is this is sometimes the case where we make our picks and then I'm
• 1:05:32
  out there on Friday night, and sometimes I'm like, who'd I pick?
• 1:05:35
  Yeah, you know, it's like and it's like and then I'm like,
• 1:05:38
  oh, yeah, I picked that guy. And I can't wait to see
• 1:05:41
  the film or I can't or I'm watching them live or whatever. And uh.
• 1:05:45
  And after I saw the film, I thought, for sure, you
• 1:05:47
  know, there was no you know, I got this one in the bag.
• 1:05:51
  And then I there was like certain guys that I had there were amazing,
• 1:05:54
  and there were certain guys that you had that were amazing, And I
• 1:05:57
  was like, man, this might be a little closer than I thought.
• 1:05:59
  So why don't you break it down for us? Yeah, so just looking
• 1:06:01
  it over, Tyler, you you know what, let's go buy a position
• 1:06:05
  here. You had Marcus Nixon at quarterback thirty seven point six points. I
• 1:06:10
  had Jeremiah Right ten and a half, Dylan Moa sixteen and a half at
• 1:06:15
  running back. For you, I had Colton Lenz with twenty seven point seven
• 1:06:18
  points, receiver Tyson Bima five point six points for you. Braddock Duckworth,
• 1:06:25
  my big guy, big bad Braddock twenty four. By the way, I
• 1:06:29
  just made that one up off the top of my head. Twenty four points.
• 1:06:30
  For Braddick Duckworth. You picked the Bellingham offensive line, and I'll tell
• 1:06:34
  you what they kind of came through for you here, thirty point eight points
• 1:06:39
  from the Bellingham offensive line. I took Meridian thirty five point eight. You
• 1:06:44
  took the Squalacum defense, who gave you a twenty total points. I had
• 1:06:47
  nook sac Valley, who gave me eleven. Your front seven player who again
• 1:06:53
  reminder that is defensive line and linebackers. John Stromler got your five. Joshton
• 1:06:59
  Elm, big bad Josh and Elmer. There. I love that kid fourteen
• 1:07:03
  points only this week. If you pick him next week, I don't love
• 1:07:05
  him too much. Fourteen points for from the front seven. For me back
• 1:07:12
  seven, which is linebackers and dbs. You took Tyler Frost, who got
• 1:07:15
  six points. I had Damien Perez who also had six points. And then
• 1:07:19
  at kicker you had Matthew Hayes who got three, and I had our guy
• 1:07:24
  Boom Boom Viggery with five. So it comes out to a total of Tyler
• 1:07:29
  one hundred and twenty four point five two, Ryland one thirty four, and
• 1:07:34
  I am off and rolling. Baby. Tyler is already looking in you know,
• 1:07:39
  from behind. Just actually, Tyler, you're technically in last place in
• 1:07:43
  both games were playing. I know, I was just thinking that exact same
• 1:07:46
  thing. I feel. I feel like one of those jobbers on Saturday Morning
• 1:07:50
  Wrestling, you know. It's just like the Goon. Yeah, or was
• 1:07:55
  it Bruiser Brody? Now, who was the Barry Barry Barry Horowitz. That's
• 1:07:59
  the guy Barry Horowitz who had like nine hundred losses in a row or whatever
• 1:08:02
  it was. I am. I am the Steve Lombardi of this. Oh
• 1:08:06

• 1:08:11
  Generals? Yeah, the Washington Generals to the Harlem Globt. Yeah, that's
• 1:08:17

• 1:08:20
  for you, Tyler? Yeah, I mean, Tyler, we got anything
• 1:08:25
  else to talk about here before we get out of here? I mean I
• 1:08:27
  don't. Yeah, I don't think so. I think we've got everything covered.
• 1:08:30
  It's uh. It was great to sit back and watch the film,
• 1:08:32
  watch the live games, take some stats at games, take some pictures,
• 1:08:36
  see all these familiar faces again, meeting some new people on the sidelines.
• 1:08:42
  It was a lot of fun. I even had some you know, ten
• 1:08:44
  year olds that were saying, hey, Tyler, how's it going, And
• 1:08:46
  I, you know, don't ask me. I don't know how that comes
• 1:08:49
  up. But uh, but it was awesome. It was just fun to
• 1:08:53
  be out there. I know you had a great time out at New York
• 1:08:57
  and your your team did did really well, and and uh, it's just
• 1:09:00
  it's just fun to get back into the swing of things. And uh,
• 1:09:03
  it took me a little while to get all the stories out, but hopefully
• 1:09:06
  I'll get I'll get kind of back in the back in the swing and kind
• 1:09:11
  of get things going. And again to get another thank you to Coach Wood
