• 2:57
  Speaker 3: down the street the marti sto offer insurance, or any
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: of these great sponsors that we have. You got a
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: bunch of them, but there's always a need for more. Yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: The best way is to get a hold of me
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: through social media. Just search walk and preps send a message.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Uh Spring is getting really close now. And there's there's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: things that have been already you know, paid for and ready.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: There's things that have already been spoken for, but there's
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: also things that are going to be available. And you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you could just kind of ask, hey, you know what's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: open or what can I do? Or you could say,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm really into this sport, I'm really into
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: this school, are really or whatever? Or you know, it
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: could even be just a static ad that's on the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: website on the right side, you know, I mean, it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it could be anything that you want. Everything can have
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a link right to your website and and uh yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just kind of go from there and we can just
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: talk and just figure out kind of the best mix
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: for both of us. And and the great thing is
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that I just I've been having a ton of repeats,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: which is a good thing. I mean, and that should
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: tell a lot of you that, you know, it's it's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: something that is worth their while. And you know, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: don't try to break the bank. I'm just like I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: said to somebody the other day, they said, how's it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: going like, and I said, I'm really excited to do
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: my taxes this year because I'm really curious how much
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I've made And I always say, I like, as long
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: as they get to that poverty line, I'm I'm so happy.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: So because if I can wake up and do what
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I love doing every day, then that's that's the best thing.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And and but it takes you know, it takes a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: lot of these local businesses to jump on board, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: so far a lot of them have, which is fantastic.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I did you know Cascadia Preps for
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: thirteen years and it wasn't about money, you know, it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: ut no, like, as long as I can be fair,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you know, compensated to the point that I can do
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it full time, you know, that's what it really is.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And you know it's about having fun and doing something
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I love and doing something that's great for the community.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: And you know that's really what Walcom Preps is. It's about,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: you know, filling that void and something that you and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I both love was you know, reading the newspaper, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: seeing there used to be a lot more coverage even
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: on the news, on the on the TV news. You know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you used to see a lot of stuff. So uh, yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: reach out to Tyler on social media's just find Waltkome preps.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: He'll get you taken care of. I mean, I guess
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: we should say right now, Tyler, but we should start
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: hammering it right now. Softball uh and baseball daily recaps?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Do you have them covered? Yeah?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I think they're both gonna be covered this year.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, so the next big one, the.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Next big one, you know what, anything golf related, anything girls,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: tennis related are completely wide open. And those those are
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: pretty big because probably tennis more because there are tennis
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: matches every day.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that from last year. There was a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: lot of them.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, because the weather starts getting nice,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: then there's not a lot of cancelations and there seems
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to be at least for a week. So that's four
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: posts a week with your you know, your logo on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it and with a link right to your website. And
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that's uh, that one and that one gets a lot
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of clicks, you know. It's it's it's interesting when you
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: when you branch out to other sports and you try
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: something new, you get this whole new wave of family
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and parents and fans that are super excited because you
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: don't see tennis, you know, you don't get to read
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: about tennis stuff and even the other local newspapers that
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: are still around here, so it's kind of the only
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: place to get it. So it's really appreciated. There's a
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: lot of clicks there, so that would probably be the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: next big thing.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think one of the things too is,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: you know, you can go to these websites, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: even like a max preps, and you can find the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Linden versus you know, Mount Baker basketball score, but you
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: don't find out all the information that goes along with it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Who had points too, had assists, who had you know this?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Who had that? Oh yeah, Okay, if all you want
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: is the score, that's fine, But if you want to
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: know what really happened, I mean, there's only one place
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to go. So uh yeah. Anyway, Tyler, we've got we
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: got well we've got nineteen guys to talk about here,

• 8:03
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of guys. There's a lot of guys,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna be talking about more here today. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: uh yeah, what do you say. Let's get right into it. Yeah,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: let's do it alrighty number twenty four in the Top
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: one hundred. Coundown six foot three, two hundred and fifty
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: five pounds. He's a left tackle and a defensive lineman.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Just a sophomore from the Linden Lions at number fifty two,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: zachdikstro And.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: That's what's so unique about that, just a sophomore. The
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: one big thing that stands out was last year he
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: got a lot of run start like as a starting
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman as a freshman, and I just can't recall
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that ever happening at Lindon period. I mean, you look
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: at even like the Matt Meyer and the all the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: great offensive linemans they had going back to Evan noo
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Boom and so many of these players. I don't think
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen a freshman start on the offensive line
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: at Lyndon High School. And that says a lot right there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And then coming into this year, you know, started on
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the right side, got moved a left tackle when there
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: was some injuries and different things, and once he moved
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to left tackle, I mean it was it was a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: different run game right away, and he is a huge
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: reason why. And I it was weird because when I
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: was watching the game film, I was thinking, am I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the old I wonder if I'm the only one that's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: kind of noticed noticing this. I just thought, well, you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I don't really know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: But and then the all conference stuff came out and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: he was an All Conference first team player in the
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Northwest Conference, you know, and I was like, ok as
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: an offensive lineman, I was like, okay, okay, it's definitely noticeable.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows that it's not just me, and then he
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: was also a second team selection on the defensive line,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: which he played very, very sparingly, but there were a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: lot of big moments that he had. So it's, man,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: it really really stands out. I mean there's been so
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: oh many great offensive linemen out out at Lindon. I
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: mean you go over these left tackles recently, just you know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: with kype Rossinc. And Dane Gatterman, and he's he's right
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: there with them, you know. I mean he's and just
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a sophomore boy. If he gets even a little bit
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: taller too, it's gonna be scary, unbelievably athletic super kid.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: And again, you know, knocking at home, just a sophomore,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I believe, the highest ranked sophomore I have on the list,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and it's it's just the future is scary defensive this year,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: fifteen and a half tackles, two tackles for lost to
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: fumble recoveries, and yeah, just one of those guys that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: they'll be able to depend upon for a long long time.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And what's really unique too is just not just his size,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: but his athletic ability and the ability to pull and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: when you're gonna have that mobile quarterback next year. I
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: really think there's gonna be so many fun designs that
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you can play with with the quarterback and the scheme
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and the running game. A lot of it's gonna be
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: based on the ability of Zachdikster at the left tackle spot,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: so it's gonna be really run even if they have
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: like you know, like Knooksack Valley runs a lot of
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: those quick screens to the outside where the offensive linemen
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: run out there and create a wall, and it's like, man,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: he's got that kind of ability that could do so
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: many different things. And and you know, Linnen kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: they do some of that a little bit, but not
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to the extent that the Pioneers do. But you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: it just it's just nice as a coach to be
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: able to just kind of go, oh, this is we
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: could do this, Oh we could do that, and it's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: just it's gonna be so fun going forward for Lindon.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I really excited to see how he progresses over the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: next few years.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Tyler. I'm just sitting here watching his film a little
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: bit and uh, yeah, man, he's got a couple of
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: plays here where good Night Nurse, I mean, my goodness,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: one of them right off the line. I mean, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: think this is maybe Mariner that they're playing. He's playing
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: right tackle and just absolutely clubs a guy. I mean
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: she punches him right in a face, almost like good night.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Then there's another one where he pancakes a guy then
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: like stands on his head for a second.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you that nice guy.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean maybe on the maybe on the sideline,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: maybe you know, somewhere else when he ain't nice on
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: the football field. Tell you that much. Yeah, nothing wrong
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: with that though. Already number twenty three in the top
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: one hundred countdown six foot two, one hundred and seventy
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: pounds quarterback, defensive back and punter. He is a senior
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: from the Meridian Trojans. It's number five. Jagger Fife.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, I've been talking about him for a long time.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: It just it's so weird because I can still recall
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: asking coach games about who's your backup quarterback. This is
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: three years ago. We were talking about, you know, Tucker Harrison,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and I said, who do you got is a backup?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And he got the biggest smile on his face and
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: he said, Jager five. He's a freshman, and he just
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you could tell right away he was really excited about
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the future, like he knew right away, like this kid's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the real, the real deal. And man, this year, the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: one thing I really loved about his game was, you know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: his numbers kept progressively getting better every year, and the
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: interceptions went down every year. You know, more more attempts,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: more yards, more touchdowns every year, and the interceptions kept
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: going down every year. So you saw a great progression
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: over and over and over again. And boy, I think
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: he only threw two picks on the entire year, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he threw two hundred and thirty nine passes, so you
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: know you're talking less than one percent of your passes
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: are intercepted. That's the second best in Wakam County history
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: for a season, the best ever for Meridian in a season.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: And and and his running game picked up a little bit.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: He's always been a great athlete, but but he he would,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you know, might take a few sacks and different things
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: like that, trying not to turn the ball over. So
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the rushing yards were never really there, but they really
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: jumped up this year. They really took advantage of his speed,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: his athletic ability and that aspect. You know, you put
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: them both together. His passing and rushing and you're talking,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you know, well over two thousand yards and over twenty touchdowns,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: so it's you know, he did a lot on you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: both aspects there as kind of a dual threat. And defensively,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was always great. You know, he played
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: some corner, played some safety, mostly a corner, and he was,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you know, a guy that he just did not go
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: up up against very very much. I mean, I think
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: in his career, you know, he over thirty passes defended
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: or something like that. It close to thirty five maybe,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: just a just a crazy number there. And then yeah,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: he took over punting and he returned punts too, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: it was an all All All Conference first team selection
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: at quarterback, and I believe, I believe he was as
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: a defensive back as well, and just a great overall athlete.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: He was one hundred and thirty eight of two hundred
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and thirty nine passing for one thousand, seven hundred and
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: eighty seven yards and thirteen touchdowns, just the two interceptions,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: eighty one carries for two hundred and eighty three yards
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and seven touchdowns, thirty four and a half tackles, nine
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: passes defended, one interception, and then he had seventeen punts
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: where averaged thirty five point two yards per punt and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: returned four punts for thirty five yards. So did not
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: leave the field too much, you know.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: And man, it's.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Just it's just gonna be. He's one of those guys
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: where are like, next year it's gonna be it's gonna
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: be different because he's just not on the field. They'll
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: still be pretty good, but it'll just be different. He was.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: He was a stal war on both sides of the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: ball for a long long time.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe the only quarterback Tyler that in the Fantasy pick
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: him that we've ever picked on defense. Hmmm. I mean
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about it, like there might be a couple
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: of guys that you know, like, uh, what's the name?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Was a Bishop Bootsy?
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say Bishop boots But I don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: know if we ever I'm not sure if we ever
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: picked him on defense. But he played a lot of defense.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: And I know you picked jaggerfif at least once or
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: twice on defense. Yeah, because I pretty much only picked linebackers.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I think Landon Smith we may have picked on defense maybe, yeah, Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't really count Marcus Nixon like that when
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: he was playing ground back.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Like sure, not counting that obviously because we may have
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: picked Actually maybe we didn't because uh he didn't play
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: a ton of defense.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: That year, right or no, he played He played corner
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: that year. That's what he was an outside linebackers sophomore
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: year at this year. But he was a corner that year.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: And I don't think we ever really picked corners.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah we rare, Yeah, we rarely picked corners.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah right. Anyway, Uh, let's see here, number twenty two
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: in the top one hundred countdown six foot two, three
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: hundred and five pounds. He's a gorgeous center in defensive
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: tackle Tyler. He's a junior from the Ferndale Golden Eagles
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: at number sixty five colshin Love Valley.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable player, and you know, it's a it's a one
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: of the hardest things to do, is you're he's taking
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: over for you know, one of the greatest players in
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: school history and probably the best center in Walkham County history,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: if not one of the best offensive linemen in Walkham
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: County history. So you know, he did that last year
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: and played great. This year, he uped his game, played
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: even better and he is really cementing himself as kind
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: of that next offense, that next awesome Ferndale offensive lineman.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, they just had they just keep rolling him
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: out and he is that next big time one, holy
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: cow wrong strong, strong, and his quickness, like his initial
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: quickness is unbelievable for a kid over three hundred pounds
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: and was again another kid that was on the field
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: all the time. I mean as a defensive tackle, he
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: was disruptive, taking up a ton of blocks, did have
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: ten and a half tackles, three tackles for loss, and
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: a quarterback sack. The rare times he would come out
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: is when they when they put that Nascar package in
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: with kind of like four pass rushers on third and long,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and they kind of only started doing that the second
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: half of the year. So other than that, I mean,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: he was on the field all the time. Hard to
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: believe he's just a junior, you know, because he did
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: so well last year and usually that's kind of what
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: you see. You see two tremendous years from a high
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: school player junior and senior year. So it's just kind
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: of like kind of refreshing that, you know, Ferndale, although
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: they do have some great seniors, there are some amazing
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: pieces coming back, and you know, and you start looking
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: at some of the best pieces coming back, he is
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the best piece coming back. It's it's really exciting. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, he is just a straight up maler And
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that there will be some school down the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: line that's gonna be looking at him and and uh,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you know, he's one of those kind of he's one
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: of those kids that's like, uh, I'm trying to oh
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: like like big like big sky capabilities. But there could
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: be bigger schools that could you know, offer him like
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: preferred walk ons, and it's gonna be kind of where
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: he wants to make that choice. And if he wants
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: to play, you know, then you know, maybe you know
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a lot like Jake Jake Mason where you do the
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: preferred walk calling at at at you dub, but you
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: had to offer at Eastern. And then now he ends
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: up at Montana and he's playing a lot, So we'll
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: have to see kind of how that all works out.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got another year of high school football,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: but he's definitely got that next level written all over.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I told you when I was
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: out in Montana last year also, and I we're touring
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the facilities at the University of Montana, walk around the corner,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Boom Jake Mason. I was like, oh hey, He was like, whoa,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: what are you doing here? Like all of a sudden,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere, bam, there he is right in my
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: face already number twenty one on the top one hundred
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: count down, six foot four, two hundred and fifty pounds
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: a right tackle, defensive end. He is a senior from
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: the Knocksack of Valley Pioneers. It's number fifty eight. Lance
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Van Berkham.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Wow, what a huge junior to senior league. And it's
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: almost not fair to him to say that because he
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: just didn't get a lot of time his junior year
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: because of that offensive line was so star studded across
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: tackle to tackle. And I think that when they would
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: run that jumbo pack package where they'd go double tight
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: and they'd have a full back and there was John
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Stremler as the full back when they did that last year,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I think it was because of Lance span Berkham. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: think it was. You know, you have so many great
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: other offensive linemen that aren't starting. If you can find
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: ways to get them on the field and just dominate
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and get that push. You know, him and Adlie Whitworth
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: and Brock Lankar would all come out there as additional
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman and they would just I don't know what
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the average yards per play was in that formation, but
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess it was around nine, you know. And
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: they didn't throw a pass out of that formation either,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So it was something to where you could almost just
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: run that the whole game. I mean, it was so dominant.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say Strembler may have averaged seven or
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: eight on his carriers, and and he was a big,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: big part of that. And I thought that, man, once
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: he gets his chance, you know, we're gonna see how
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: good he is. And all I kept hearing was all
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: these amazing things like watch out for Van Berkham, Watch
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: out for Van Berkham, not just offensively but defensively. I mean,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: he is so good. And I just thought, Okay, I'm excited.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I just haven't seen much of him. And you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: offensively he was he was a beast. He moves extremely well,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: basketball player, uh, you know, very athletic. But man on
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: defense as a defensive end, holy cow.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: And this is at.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Three four defensive end. This is not a four to
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: three defensive end. And for him to you know, play
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: the way he did in that and that kind of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: defense and put up those kind of numbers that he did,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: it's it's crazy. He's a guy that's, you know, gonna
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: be in the running for Lineman of the Year and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: a kid that didn't even start as a junior. So again,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of coaches they're like, they always
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: give their seniors the first crack and stuff like that
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and kind of see how they go. And I love
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: it when seniors just grab a hold of it and dominate.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: And he did that as good as it could possibly
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: be done. An All Conference first team pick on both
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: sides of the ball, forty four and a half tackles,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: twelve and a half tackles for loss, four quarterback sacks,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: three passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage, two
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: forced fumbles, a block punt of four fumble recoveries, and
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: return to block punt nineteen yards for a touchdown.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: He won.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: There was one week he won Defensive Player of the Week.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: There's one week he won Special Teams Player of the Week.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: You know, he probably could have won offensive Linemen of
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the Week one week. I mean, you know, just a great,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: complete player, really quiet kid. And I would not be
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: shocked if and he gets latched on somewhere to play
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: like a Montana Western or something like that, just because
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: of uh just the ability that just the kind of
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the raw athletic ability. And he just hasn't played very
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: much where a coach could get him and kind of,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: you know, mold him into something. He's got great size,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and uh yeah, I just I think the world of him,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: and I I just love how well he played when
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the spotlight was able to finally shine on him. He
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: had some huge moments and could take over games.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: You know, Tyler. One problem for him as far as
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: going and playing in college, he hasn't made his highlight
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: tape yet. Ah why why are there no highlight tapes?
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I have to go through each individual game, which I did,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: and yeah, he's a pretty good player. Let's see here,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: number twenty on the top one hundred countdown. Six foot
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: four ninety five pounds wide receiver, defensive back. I mean, Tyler,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I think we left out a position or two here. Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: he is a junior from Bellingham, the bay Hawk Number
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: one Joe Harwood.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, top rated belly in Bayhawk, played a handful of
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: other positions, like you said, played some quarterbacks and outside linebacker.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: He was depunted here and there, returned kicks, returned punts.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: There wasn't anything he didn't. I mean, he didn't play
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: on the offensive line and probably could have done pretty well.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: It's it was so cool. I mean I knew about
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the athletic ability, and he would come in a little
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: bit here and there as a sophomore on defense and
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: you know, would would do some good things, had some
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: good size, was very good on special teams, coming down,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: making tackles and stuff like that. And then you know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: watched him do some good things playing basketball, starting catcher
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: on the baseball team, but also leading. You know, he
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: might have even led the entire county and stolen bases
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: last year, which a lot of catchers don't do. And
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of thought, Okay, he's just he's getting better
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and better athletically, and then you go out to practice
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: and you see him and he just looks different and
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: he just moves differently and he jumps higher and everything
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: is just kind of holy cow. And you know it
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: played the first few weeks at quarterback, and the scary
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: thing was when he would take off and run and
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: and you know it took a few chances at quarterback
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and the position wasn't exactly natural to him and still
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: kind of learning on the fly and would stay in
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the pocket a little too long or try to make
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: something happen a little too much, and it would come
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: back to bide him. But man, when he got moved
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: a receiver, everything just kind of shifted and changed. And
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I think he was named All Conference second team as
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a receiver. And when you look at the numbers, I mean,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: this is I kind of have these blocks like you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: like when I post it shows all the numbers and
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: you know they're all in different lines and stuff like that. No,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: he has more than Joe Harward as far as just
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: total stats and all these different things that he did.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And they'd moved into running back at times when they
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: needed carries, you know, here and there at crunch times
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: of games. I mean, it was just crazy. But here's
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: his numbers. Forty catches for six hundred and forty six
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: yards and nine touchdowns and he carried the ball eighty
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: eight times for three hundred and eighty four yards in
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. He completed twenty two passes for two hundred
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and ninety six yards in a touchdown. I think there
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: was that moment, like in week five, I think where
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I sent you a text and said, currently Joe Harward
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: leads his team in passing, rushing, and receiving them.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I remember that, Like, how does that happen? Yeah? My
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: response was like huh.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like that's that that is that's impossible. But he
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I mean he didn't end up that way, but at
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: that moment, that's what's where he was.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we knew it wasn't going to end that way,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: but at that moment, it was like that's actual inane,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: like that is almost psychotic in a way.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then on defense, sixteen tackles, three passes, broken
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: up a quarterback sack. He had one interception that he
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: returned twenty yards for a touchdown. That was against Seahome
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and that was early in the game and could took
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: that seven to then lead. He returned six kickoffs for
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen yards. He returned six punts for
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: seventy two yards, and then he had he punted the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: ball twelve times and he averaged thirty four point three
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: yards of punt, so a little bit of everything. He
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: could have a huge season next year, especially with Ben
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Leonard returning at quarterback. The big question is gonna be
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: can they fill out that offensive line and give give
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: them time to throw the ball. I think there's gonna
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: be a lot of double coverage on him, so that
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: that could be tough, but they could just find certain
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: ways to get in the ball. I know they had
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: some huge freshman offensive linemen last year that if they
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: can develop and turn into varsity lineman next year, that's
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: going to be a huge jump for them. And uh yeah,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: just really excited to see what he can do in
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: all phases. I mean defensively too. He could be that
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: kind of that Bli Henderson kind of guy where they'll
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: put him in the box and have him rush the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: passer in certain situations. But you know there were games
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: where it would be like, Okay, we need you to
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: play corner because we need you to cover this guy. Yeah, okay,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: this game, we need you to rush the quarterback because
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: they don't really have a guy on the outside starting acastic.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just it was just, you know, put
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: him in the whatever works and for your for your team,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: and he can fit all the you know, he can
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: fit every single category that that you need.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Number nineteen in the top one hundred countdown, six foot
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: four and fifteen pounds tight end, outside linebacker and oddly
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: enough punter Junior from the Qualthacum Storm number zero. He
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: does not lack value.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Locky Fungato and he's another We're getting into these freaky
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: athletes now that are just it's just crazy and much
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: like Joe Harward, you know, they're the game. When Nixon
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: was out, I think it was against Sea Home, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: they put Lockett running back, you know, and he ran
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: for like almost one hundred yards if not one hundred yards,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And it's, you know, that kind of player again where
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you can just kind of put him wherever. And you know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I've asked coaches about him. I'm like, I like, defensively,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: he's just just an animal. I mean, he is everywhere.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: He's a problem.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: He is a problem. But then I was asking coaches about,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: like what's his best like you know what, Like some
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: coaches will say he's an he's amazing blocker. Some coaches
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: say he has the best hands on the team. I mean,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: they all say different things. It's like, man, what can
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: he what can't he do? You know? And and he's
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: he's got great, great speed.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Just you know, when I first saw him, even as
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: a freshman when he played at Seahome, there was just
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: a just a few games where we get in and
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: he looked different. And I remember, you know, going out
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: our four freshmen of the year, and he was one
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: of them, and I just kind of thought, even though
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: he didn't play a ton, I just man, he was
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: he was a different kind of player, and he is
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: going to be a problem, like you said, going forward.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: But this past year he was an All conference linebacker
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: and a great, great tight end. He did have eighteen
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: carries for one hundred and twenty six yards and a touchdown.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Like I said, most of that being done against Sea
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Home and Nixon's absence. He caught eighteen passes for one
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty nine yards and three touchdowns. He returned
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: two kickoffs for thirty eight yards, and then he averaged
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: thirty seven point two yards of punt which is crazy,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: very very high on the counties list this year. If not,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: he might have been the top punder. I try to
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: remember it was him or Nolan Wright. And then on defense,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: sixty nine tackles, nine and a half tackles for loss,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: five passes broken up, three forced fumbles, one sack, and
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: one fumble recovery. And he did it in nine games. Yeah,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: just scary, scary good and and he's one of those
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: players where I would not want to run the ball
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: in his direction at all, Like he goes through you
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: every single time and sometimes maybe a little bit reckless,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: but he just makes up for it so much by
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: by some of the chances he takes, because he makes
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: big things happen, like I said, forcing three fumbles, getting
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of stops behind the line of scrimmage. He's
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: just like you said, he's just a problem.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Number eighteen on the top one hundred countdown, six foot
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: two d and twenty five pounds offensive line, defensive line.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: He is a senior from the Linden Lions, number fifty
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: one Parker Williams.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Much in the lance Van berkham Mold where didn't play
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: a ton as a junior, took the you know, the
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: most advantage out of his senior year. And he he
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: did play a little bit. He started on the defensive
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: line as a junior and.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: This year was just.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Everywhere on that defensive line. And then with all those
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: injuries and stuff, he had to play some offensive line too,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: which I think he went into the season not thinking
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: at all he would be playing offensive line. I think
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: he even played running back, you know, growing up, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: you know, junior high and even earlier in high school
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: was a running back on the roster. But again, Linden
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: likes to take these backup running backs and say, I
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: bet you could be a really good defensive lineman in
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: our scheme. And the thing about their scheme is just
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: it's just slanting. That's all it is. You're just causing havoc.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: You're and you're not made to really put up numbers.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: He had seventy one tackles in that defensive line scheme.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen that. I don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: know if you know, like Carter Van Diest was really good,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Peyton Scott was really good. They've had some guys over
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: the you know, recently that have been in that spot
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: that were all conference guys, but I don't know if
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: they put up seventy one tackles in a season. And
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: he was an All Conference first team pick. Seven and
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a half tackles for lost, two fumber recoveries, one sack,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: a complete menace on kickoffs. Oh my goodness, gracious, just
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: and somebody that, oh boy, how do I put this?
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Kind of a coach's dream, that's for sure, Yes, sir,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I'll do whatever it takes, sir, all that stuff and
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: loves loved loves football, especially for Lindon. I think that,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: you know, I think when they when they lost, no
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: one probably took it harder than him, and when they
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: lost in the quarterfinals, and you could just feel, you
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: feel for a kid like that because you know how
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: much sweat equity he put into it and how much
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe this is it, and it's just like
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: it's so crazy, how a snap of finger it's over.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: And because you're not playing rec league tackle football, you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: it's just it's one of those things. And I think
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: that it may have hit him in the moment, and
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and man, he was such a great player, and I
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: just I can't, I can't push it enough. I mean,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: he was, you know, not not a guy in the
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: limelight and not a big name and all those things.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he deserved this spot at number eighteen. He
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: just had a tremendous season.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Number seven in the top one hundred countdown five foot
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: eight one and seventy five pounds running back, inside linebacker,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: and punter. He's a senior from the Ferndale Golden Eagles.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: It's number four. Jacob Gandy.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if there's a tougher player in
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the county. And it's not just because of his size
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: and playing the positions he did, playing the whole year
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: with an injured shoulder that I didn't even know about,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: and and it's just still playing and like I had
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: no clue and you couldn't tell from watching like he
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: was just he was that great. I think he may
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: have missed one game. Holy cow, he was. I don't
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: know how he I don't know how he did what
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: he did on defense. Like you watch guys and you
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: just go, how does that guy keep making every single play?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: And that was Jacob Gandy, And then you realize that
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: he's just.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: He just wants it so badly, and he's so tough
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and so strong, and this desire is so high to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: make a play.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: And that's sometimes in the beauty beautiful thing about high
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: school football is a lot of times that can get
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: it done. You know you can. There are guys out
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: there that have the complete supreme talent and that's what
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: gets it done. And he is extremely talented. But you
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: put forth the work effort and the and the want
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: and the desire, and you put all that together and
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: you get Jacob Gandy had filled in it running back
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: a little bit here and there when zach Nielsen was out,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: did a great job. Punted all year. So he just
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: did a little bit of everything. But defense is where
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: it was at for him. I mean, he was he was.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: He was a guy we were picking a lot on fantasy.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: I mean he would and he was coming through every
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: single week. On offense, he had forty one carries for
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty eight yards and two touchdowns. He
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: also caught five pass for thirty five yards. He had
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: twenty two punts where he averaged thirty three and a
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: half yards of punt. And then on defense, this is
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: where he gets crazy. Eighty four tackles, sixteen and a
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: half tackles for loss, four passes broken up, one forced fumble,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: one sack, and one fumble recovery. He's the guy who
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: is likely going to be in the running for Defensive
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Player of the Year. That's how that's how great he was.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: And I can't you know, I can't explain it enough.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: It's just you just have to. You had to be
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: there to experience it because it was It was really
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: cool to watch.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: He's like I am the statman, you know what I mean,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Like he just so many different stats, so many different categories.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Just yeah, love guys like that. Man. Just do number
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: sixteen in the top one hundred count down six foot,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty five pounds. He's a wide receiver
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: and a safety senior from the Knucksack Valley Pioneers. It's
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: number three. Corey Only the.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Only player on this list to be a four time
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: to be named for the fourth time.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's huge. Yeah, I bet there's not many guys
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: that have fulled that off total.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I think it's him and Landon Hatchet I think are
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the only two.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I've only been doing it for eight years, so still
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: it's I mean, still though, it's tough to do, and yeah,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: what a great, great year. You know what you're gonna
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: get from Corey Only, Like, you know, everything is going
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: to be extremely steady, catches everything. You don't have to
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: ever worry about it. He's a coach on the field,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: emergency quarterback, like kind of everything that you want. The
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: one thing I didn't know was that playoff game when
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: he came in at running back and just dominated probably
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: had the best high school game he's ever had, and
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: he ran the ball like twenty eight times for whatever
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: it was, one hundred and seventy yards and like three
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: touchdowns or something, And you know, I was I was
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: joking about how like this would be, like you know,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: putting Tyler Lockett at running back or something. And then
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: of course your joke was, well, maybe they should do that,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: but you know what I mean, Like it's just I
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: was not expecting that, and and I think I should
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: have because I've learned over the years with him, like
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: whatever he kind of goes to, it just goes really well.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: And and you know, finished his career with one hundred
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: catches or I should say over one hundred catches or
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: maybe it was exactly one hundred catches. I can't remember,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: but just man and what a great defensive player. And
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: he's always been. He's a four year starter as a safety,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: but this year he was a lot more physical, a
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: lot more just in on a lot more tackles, you know,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: the run a lot more. I think that Cole Bauman
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: ended up kind of being more of a deep man
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: in the safety spot. They kind of they kind of
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: flipped second halfway second half of the year, like he was.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: He was coming up and playing the run a lot
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: more than usual, which you know, bumped his numbers up
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: quite a bit. Did return kickoffs too, threw another touchdown
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: pass like he did the year before. Was an All
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Conference first team pick on both sides of the ball.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I think it was.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I think that it might have been the first time
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: he was ever an All Conference first team pick on
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: either side, which is crazy. I thought, I thought for
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: sure defensively earlier in his career and had the numbers
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: to prove it too. He caught thirty seven balls for
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: four hundred and eighteen yards and a touchdown. Then he
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: ran the ball forty one times for two hundred and
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: thirty eight yards and four touchdowns. He had the forty
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: seven yard touchdown pass, which is hilarious because last year
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: he had a forty seven yard touchdown pass. And then
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: defensively fit four and a half tackles, eight passes defended,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: three tackles for loss, an interception, and a fumble recovery,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: and returned five kickoffs for one hundred and twenty three yards.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: He's another one of those kids that's had over thirty
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: passes defended in his career. And I know this is
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: not a career thing. It's just talking about this season,
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: but it's something to point out because I think that's
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: as far as my numbers go back, it's the most
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: in Knokxact Valley history. And yeah, he's just he's just
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: just an awesome football player, awesome human being. And loved
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: how great he got to play this year, doing so
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: many different things, and he was injury free, which was awesome.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: And yeah, just a tremendous football player. And it's kind
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: of sucks that we don't get to see him play
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: football anymore. But he's out there balling on the basketball court,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: which is great. And then we'll see him on the
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: links in the spring if he.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Decides to do that.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Other in baseball, man, he was batting leadoff as a
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: freshman on the baseball team and then he went and
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: went went and played golf after that. And I know
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: that NUK sacks team this year is looking pretty good.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: And they're like, we just need that one more outfielder,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: that leadoff hitter. And I'm like, yeah, I know, I
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: know who you're talking about.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was leadoff hitter. That's got a good iron game.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was talking to Evan Brown about it in
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: August and it was funny because, you know, I told Evan,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, just you know, just throw the
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: ball to him a lot and say, hey, if you
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: catch X amount of passes, I mean you have to
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: come play baseball. So he kind of joked. He was like, yeah,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: that's not a bad idea, but I think his heart
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: set on golf, which is which is fine, you know,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and and him man lancepan Berkham is also another golfer.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: So get some football players out there on the links
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: and I'll be catching up with them soon, I'm sure,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: once the weather gets nicer.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Number fifteen on the top one hundred count down, six
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: foot two, two hundred and fifty five pounds left tackle,
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: defensive tackle. He's a junior from the Seahome Mariners. It's
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: number sixty five Cole Terrell.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and probably could have even been placed higher if
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: he didn't miss some games, you know, got injured late
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: in the year and just came back actually from that
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: injury on the basketball court about a week ago. So
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: awesome to see him out there, dominating in the paint
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: doing his thing, huge leg braceon. But he's moving around
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: really well, which is good. I even saw him go
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: to the floor a few times and he got up fine,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: which is good signed to see. But holy cow, as
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: a defense or as a just a football player, ooh boy.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: He's that next rung of guys on that offensive line,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: you know, just a junior, but you know, some of
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: these seniors are gonna graduate. He's gonna be that next
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: like great offensive line and kind of the way you
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: know Brady Ackerman is this year for this class, He's
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: going to be kind of be that for the next class.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: And what was really cool about him too, is that
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: and we had that youth football camp and it was
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: it was all seniors, and but Coldterrell came out just
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: a junior, which I thought was awesome because I think
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: they wanted, you know, they need more linemen to come
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: out and help. It was and you know, he had
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Brady Ackerman and Lincoln Hofer and Lance Van Berkham and
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: and and so you get Cold Terrell out there with too,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: which is great to help with the lineman. And and
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: when I got out there the first day, like he
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: was the one throwing throwing like the flyers up, you know,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: the to the little kids throw the football up in
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: the air. And he was he was so great with
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: the kids. And that was so cool to see. And
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, he's he's been starting since day
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: one as a freshman on the offensive line, played a
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: lot more defense this year. They changed their defense to
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: a four to three, so a more natural defensive tackles
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: spot for him, which did he did well. Eleven and
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: a half tackles, a tackle for loss, a fumber recovery,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: half a sack all conference. You know, linemen on the
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball. Uh yeah, I just wished
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: that he wouldn't have got injured, because boy, it was
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: a big blow on both sides of the ball, right
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: when they needed him to most, you know, going into
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: the going into the postseason and see what kind of
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: run they could make. And it was tough. But boy,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: what a what a great, great season, And it's going
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: to be pretty scary to see what he does next year.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Number fourteen in the top one hundred, count now six
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: foot two, twenty five. He is a tight end defensive
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: end senior from the Blaine Border Heights. It's number thirty five.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Blake Kureski.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are certain guys that when you're on the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: field watching a game that they're memorable. You know, they
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: create these moments that are etched in your mind. And
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: he had a few of those, and a lot of
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: them are on these plays where he would come around
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: and blindside a quarterback and just crush them. The ball
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: would fly out and it's just like holy cow. And
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: you know, when the season started and coach Olsen was like, well,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: I'm moving Kresky to defensive end, and I'm thinking, well,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: you have zu as a defensive end, and I understood
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: kind of where he was going. Where if you've got
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: two of them, you can like these two studs. You
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: put your two best defensive players as the edge guys.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: It kind of forces the opponents to choose or they
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: have to go to the middle a lot or whatever,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: and then you can, you know, you can you can
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff that with three defensive linemen interior guys
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: kind of tight and you can go from there. And
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: you know, their defense was so much improved this year
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: and and give I give that coaching staff a lot
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: of credit for making those changes. You take your best tackler,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: your middle linebacker that started and move them to defensive end,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: whereas tackles are going to go down, but other numbers
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: might go up, but your team is going to go up.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: And you also take in the fact that he's a
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: he was a full back as a sophomore. They don't
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: really they don't really run with a full back since
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: coach Olsen has come in. So you put him at
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: tight end and you become this run heavy team and
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: you run off his end a lot, and you watch
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of those long Jayden Piaz runs and it
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: is you get thirty five on a down block or
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: a kickout block, and it's a wide open hole and
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: that's where that's coming from. And you know, you're just
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: talking like playing football player. Blake Kresky is scary good.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: All Conference First Team as a defensive end and I
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: led the entire county and quarterback Sacks also had nine
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: catches for one hundred and fifty eight yards and a
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: touchdown that wasn't really you know, they're big thing that
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: what they were going to throw the ball a ton,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: but he was able to haul in some passes there.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: His run blocking was was dynamic, one of the best
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: you know in the county, especially as a tight end,
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: if not the best as a tight end. On defense,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: forty four tackles, ten and a half tackles for loss,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: eight and a half quarterback sacks, three forced fumbles, two
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: passes knocked down. I think I think he did him
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: in two concentecutive plays and two fumble recoveries. And and
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: he missed a game. He missed the game against Friday Arbor.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I mean it was I mean, could you imagine that
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: you can imagine playing against so you know what I mean,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Like there's he's just he's just he's just an animal.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: And uh and and and he kicked off for crying
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: out loud. You know, he's a forward on the soccer
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: team in the spring. How scary is that? So just
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: a great, you know, overall football player. And and was
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: already great as a junior, but he he jumped up
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: in his improvement this year to be and he got
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the most out of everything that he had and and
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: that was a lot. And it was great to see Tyler.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: I think we need to get one of these high
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: school with Coach Olson saying from playing high school.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Oh expected text, that's that's coming soon. Coach Alson, thank
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: you very much.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Uh getting all the coaches in the county record one
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: for their school.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's been a lot of buttons for you
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: to have to do.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: Number thirteen in the top one hundred countdown, six foot
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: five at two hundred and fifty five pounds right tackle
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: and defensive end. He's a senior from the Meridian Trojans,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: number sixty two Lincoln Hover.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just the big it just a grizzly bear out there.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: That's that's the first thing I always think of because
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: he just looks so different than everybody else. And it's
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: like it's funny because it's one of those years where
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: like Meridian can't say, well, we're just smaller than every everybody,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: and you know, it's like you just can't say that
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: because of him. I mean, and they add some mother
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: big lineman. But he he's huge, and what a hard
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: work or two and puts in the time and wants
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: to get better. And I'm so I'm so pumped that
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be able to, you know, take this leap
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: and go to Montana and and see how that goes
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: there and how the development will be as a as
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: an offensive lineman and was named. You know, they did
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: the Coaches Association to pick their all state teams. He
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: was on the He was on the All State team
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: as a defensive lineman. It was all conference, both sides
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: of the ball. First team had that fumble recovery for
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. I want to I want to say it
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: was against Camiac. It was an awesome play where he
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: just you know, he came around the edge and there
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: was a weird fumble and he just picked the ball
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: up like a loaf of bread with one hand, just
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: just pawed it, picked it up and sprinted and it
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: was like, it was so cool to see because you
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: got to see the athletic ability that he has. He's
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the biggest guy in the field, but he could move.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Oh faster. Remember what I'm saying. Remember how he picked
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: up in just one hand and he was holding out
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: there and don BETI came out and yeah, yeah.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he just I mean, it looked athletic like
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: he grabbed it and went. It was awesome. I remember that.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I remember that first play of the game where he
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: caught a pass and got nine nine yards.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: Out of it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: You know, he was he's a different He's just he was.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: He's blessed with this great size and ability. And his
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: dad was an amazing tight end out at Nuiksack Valley
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: years ago. And his dad lined up next to TJ
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: right tackle and tight end when they were seniors. That
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: was that was scary and.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: So and it's so cool.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: It was great to see you know him at Brady
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: over the years battle and that was a lot of fun.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: And and uh yeah they he and a guy like
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: that coming off the edge and making plays. Yeah, just
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: a different just a different player. I mean it just
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter like this, like the size of the
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: school or you know, the classification and all that stuff.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: He was different. And I'm so glad that he was
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: able to get noticed and and he's gonna and you know,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: signed it to Montana. It's just such a cool, cool
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: deal and I'm excited to follow his future.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: This past year, thirty three tackles, eight tackles for loss,
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: two sacks, two forced fumbles, and the one fumber recovery.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Like I said that, he returned thirty five yards for
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: a for a touchdown, constant double teams, uh and and
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: fought through it. I mean he looked like it was
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: like Godzilla out there just batting away, you know, helicopters.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I mean it was you know, it just looked awesome
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: and so fun to watch him.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Remind reminded me a lot of TJ Bass actually when
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: TJ played defense as a defensive end, you know, just
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: taller and bigger and stronger than everybody's extremely athletic. Obviously,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: now TJ's with the Dallas Cowboys as an as a guard,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to put that kind of pressure
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: on Lincoln Hope, but I'm just saying that there was
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: that feel of him and at the high school level,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: and I really hope it. You know, and he's young too,
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: like he just turned seventeen in the summer, you know,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: so he's a he's very young for his classifications, so
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: you might ear for his grade, so you might see
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: some some more growth, which would be amazing. And I
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: think that I think that uh, Montana is gonna have
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: a good one here and a great great piece of
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: clay to mold, because he could really blossom into a
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: big time player.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Number twelve on the top one hundred countdown, six foot one,
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety pounds running back and outside linebacker.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: He's a senior from the Squalcumb Storm. It's number eight
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Marcus Nixon.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just crazy athletic ability. I'm getting slammed a ton
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: from everybody for this placement at number twelve. And I
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: understand where you're coming from. I love Marcus Nixon as
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: a player as a kid, I mean, he's just so great.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: But he there, you know, Squalcumb only played nine games.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: He missed a game in half, and so I know
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't you know. I mean I I analyze a
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: little bit for that, you know, and that's just that
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: that that's all it is. I mean, his numbers were
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: better as a junior, but he still had a tremendous year.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Uh there. What I loved too, is that against the
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: bigger opponents he really came through. I mean that game
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: against Lindon was he had a huge game against Linden.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: They there was times where they just could not stop him.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: And so that that tells me a lot just as
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: far as when you're playing against the big time opponents,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: how how you know how much of a game are
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: you playing? And and and he really comes through in
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: those in those big, big moments and against the big
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: time competition. So really excited to kind of see how
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: that goes. I believe he's signed as a safety at
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Eastern Washington. I you know, I heard, oh, he's an
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: athlete or whatever. Never seen him play safety at the
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: high school level. I think he will be just fine.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: And there's just things that he can do on the
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: football field that you don't see very often. And that's
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: what's so fun to see because he can make a move.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: He can go past you long long strides, but is faster,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Like is faster than you think. Like you see those
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: long striders and you think a guy that runs like
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: a four hundred, you know, but he's more of like
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: a sprinter type. So the strides are just natural and
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: they look great. And boy, he can make that one
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: cut and go. You know it was was right. He
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: had almost exact same rushing stats sophomore, junior and senior year.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: And it's which which is funny because he kind of
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: had like a different line each year. He played different positions,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: you know, was it quarterback last year. There's all these
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: different funny things, but he always just puts up kind
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: of those similar numbers. When they did the all state classifications,
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: he was named as an All State running back, which
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: is awesome. He was an All Conference running back as well,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty nine carries for eight hundred and
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: forty six yards and eight touchdowns. He also caught ten
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: passes for two hundred and twenty six yards and three touchdowns.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: It's that play, I mean, they did it when he
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: was a sophomore where the running back just runs a
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: go out of the backfield and linebacker can't stay with him,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: and if you can get it out to him, it's
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. And it happened. You know, it happened three
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: more times, and you know it was a great weapon
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: to have in the backfield. He also completed a twenty
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: two yard touchdown pass and returned three kickoffs for eighty
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: four yards. One of them was returned for a touchdown,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: but it got called back. It was right. It was
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: in Week one, right before the half against Burlington Edison
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: would have been a huge play, but there was a
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: hold and they had to you know, he had to
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: snap it from the fifty on the next play, but
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: holy cow, almost took that one to the house or
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: he did, but it was called back. And then on defense,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: thirty one tackles, one and a half tackles for loss,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: and a forced fumble, going back to his more natural
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker spot. Yeah, just a just you know, I
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: would say, and you know, you and I, you know,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this too, like just as far as
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: like an athlete, uh, you know, top ten, probably top
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: five in the county. It's just the season probably didn't
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: go is the you know, the exact way that he
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: wanted it to, and and that's what happens, especially when
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: you know these even these eleven guys ahead of them
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: are just had these crazy, outlandish seasons and it's one
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: of those where it's a really really tough year to pick,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it was tough just to pick
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: the one hundred, you know, and then when when you
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: when that happens and you get down in the top
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: fIF to fifteen, you can make arguments for all these guys.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Number eleven in the top one hundred countdown six foot one,
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty five pounds. He is a wide
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: receiver and a strong safety. Junior from the Linden Christian Links.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: It's number seven, Voyce Robertson.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: And this is another kid where didn't play any of
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: our football last year. Now, most of that was because
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: of an injury he had. He had an injury, and
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: I and if he I don't know how much you
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: would have played. He would have played a little bit
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: last year, but I don't know how much you would
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: have played had he stayed healthy. And then he went,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: you know, played basketball and then did track for the
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: first time. I remember seeing him, dude doing some track
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: and doing like some triple jumps and stuff like that,
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: and I was like, man, he's he's very athletic. Like
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping he'll be you know, he's good to go
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: for football and he'll be ready. You know, everything will
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: be good, because I think it was like an it
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: was like an arm, wrist, elbow, hand something.
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: It was an upper body injury. It wasn't a leg injury,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think. So I go out to practice and
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: the at at LC, I mean you just see like
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: twenty receivers. They all look the same. I mean they
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: just they all look extremely athletic. They have amazing tans.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: You know, they're all you know, perfect hair and everything
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: just looks exactly how you should look, right and then
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: and they're all, you know, doing their things, so no
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: one's really standing out. And I thought, well, with Elsie's
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: offense and you just graduated some great receivers, like who's
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: going to be that guy? And I still didn't really know.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: And even when I talked to coach Turt before the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: season started, he was like, well, we have a lot
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: of guys, and that's what's nice is that you can't
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: really key on a guy, and you know, stuff like that,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: even in the running game, you know. And because at
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: that time, even like Trey Bosman hadn't played really that
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: much offense. He was a defensive guy. So will he
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: be the main guy? I don't know. I go out
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: to the scrimmage at Ferndale High School and it was Lyndon, Linnen, Christian,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Ferndale and Baker. I mean, awesome scrimmage, four great Mouth
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: you know, Walkam County teams got to see him all
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: play each other. I love it. It's great. And and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of them are wearing jerseys that they're not
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: going to wear, so I can't really tell who's who.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: And but I kept hearing someone say, good job boys,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: good job, boys, And I would look and I go, Okay,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: that's boys Robertson. And he kept making plays, and I thought,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: maybe he'll be the guy. And I felt pretty good about,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: you know, him doing some some some good things. Even
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: I even't put him on my preseason All conference selections.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I think I may have had him as a third
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: team guy, but I put him on there just because
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: even though he had never caught a varsity pass, I thought, well,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: maybe he'll be Maybe he'll be the guy. And we
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: even joked about on one podcast saying like, well, Elsie
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: will always have somebody. I go, I wouldn't be surprised
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: if the box score says Robertson seven catches for one
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: hundred and twelve yards. You know, and all of a
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: sudden he was doing that, and it was just and
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: it was happening over and over and over and over,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: and he broke every single season record for Lyndon Christian
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: except for touchdowns. In the season was one off for
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns. He had sixty two catches for one two
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: hundred and seven yards and fourteen touchdowns. That's a crazy
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: stat line for receiving in high school. Like I said,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: just shattered everything. School record wise, it was one touchdown away.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: But he's got another year, so he's gonna start looking
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: at a lot of these career records. He also returned
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: fourteen kickoffs for two hundred and fourteen yards, returned nine
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: punts for one hundred and seventy seven yards. Defensively, twenty
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: two and a half tackles, four passes broken up, and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: he had an interception. He was named All Conference first
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: team as a wide receiver. Was also on that All
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: State first team as a wide receiver. And I don't
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: want to say he came out of nowhere because he
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: was injured last year, but he was a guy that
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: didn't have any vartsty reps, so to be able to
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: do that right away was amazing and probably had the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: catch of the year. That wasn't a catch he had
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: he had. I mean, it's identical to the Odell Beckham
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: catch except for they except for they called him out
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: of bounds and he was.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: But Dennis Cairns, who's an amazing photographer, got a picture
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: of it. I want to say. It was in the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: game against Okanagan and it was right down the sideline,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: a deep ball and the video just doesn't catch it
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: because they don't go down in time to see it.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: But but the photo that Dennis Karen's caught of it
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: is amazing. If I find it off to send it
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: At some point, did I ever tell you about my
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Odell Beckham story with that catch.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: I was on the way home from the Seahawks game.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: That was Sunday night football. I was on my way
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: home from the Seahawks game and I was like getting
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: off the freeway and the announcer just goes berserk on
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: the radio. Right, He's going absolutely insane, and I'm like,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: settle down, settle down, Like right, I'm sure it was
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: a great catch, but like he's making it sound like
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: it's the greatest catch in the history of the world.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Dave Simm's doing the announcing.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: Might have been well. I come in the house and
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: I turned the game on and they're showing replays of it.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: I went back out and APOLOGI jives to my radio
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: I did. I was like, you know what, I gotta
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: go apologize to the guy because that's quite possibly the
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: most insane cats I've ever seen the history of the world.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Like that was stupid, Like I don't know, I still
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: know how he did it.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was. And I don't think Boyce Robertson
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: did it with like three fingers, but he did it
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: where he put his hand behind his head and he
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: was way up in the air and he caught it
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: like behind his head jumping backwards. That's like you're doing
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: like a back dive into the pool, you know. And
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: so the athletic ability is there, you know, during warm
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: ups and basketball he's just kind of dunk in here
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: and there. And he's only six to one, so he
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: just has that spring, he has that ability, and with
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: a lot of these guys coming back next year, it
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: could be a crazy year for him and a guy
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: that coming into the year I thought, yeah, you could
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: probably make the top one hundred, didn't think he'd be
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: number eleven. Uh So, awesome, awesome season and really excited
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: just to you know, to see his progression that seek.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just excited to see what he does for the
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: rest of the basketball season, what he does for track.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I love these these three sport athletes and and seeing
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: what they can continue to do. And next year is
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: going to be extremely special.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: Uh, you did have him listed his third team offense
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: the for all the preseason. Yeah. Yeah, who do you
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: think the other two receivers were on the third team. Yeah,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: I'll give you a clue. They're both sophomores or excuse me,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: jus oh man, and nobody's on the same team juniors.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: I did have theo quiggle on there.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: You did?
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, okay, good he had.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: A good year.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: And junior receiver Cole Coppenter.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: Correct, he had a good year too. And then you
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: have yeah, you had a junior offensive lineman from Lyndon
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: and a sophomore offensive lineman from mal Baker.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: On third team.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Sophomore would have been Kel Reardon. Yeah, junior from Lyndon, Yeah,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Logan Austria.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Correct. Oh, okay, I was gonna say it was a
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: young man that I believe we talked about a little
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: while ago. But yeah, a lot of.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: These guys made the top one hundred list. That's good
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: or all kind of things.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Guy got lucky
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: this year. Okay, alrighty Tyler, we're into the top ten
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: here and at number ten five eleven, one eighty five quarterback,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: a junior from the Seahome mariners doing windmill dunks. It's
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: number two no one right.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're never gonna let let that down.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: No, just because I don't remember who said it to us,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: but it was like, maybe we lay off that a
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: Like I think I do know who said that to
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: just but but yeah, I mean he's Nolan, right, you know,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: he's phenomenal, and this year it was I think he
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: was kind of, you know, given a little bit more
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: leeway and a little bit more.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Was put on his plate, which is perfect because he
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: will eat everything on his plate and do more. And
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: that's what was exciting to watch was he carried the
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: ball a lot more. There were designed runs and you know,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: as a freshman and sophomore you might not want to
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: do that too much. He would run a little bit,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: but as a junior you feel like you can start
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: to do that. He took over that Burlington Edison game
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: where he did not start well. I think he threw
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: three interceptions in the first half, but he he won
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: that game at the end. I mean, he would come
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: back and do some amazing things and was just like
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: the numbers he put up, I mean again, breaking school records,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: doing all sorts of things, average thirty seven and a
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: half yards of punt as well. Did have two tackles
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: and ones that he probably does not want to think
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: about because they're probably on turnovers.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: Those are the worst tackles.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, and here's a guy where you know,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: you put him on defense and he's an All conference
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: defensive back age. He just is that's smarts and yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: there's no denying he could be just this unbelievable safety.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: You put him in Hudson Neft together, Holy cow, it'd
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: be crazy.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: And who knows, you know what I mean?
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And we'll we'll have to see what
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: they do, you know, with that next year. But this
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: year is just a quarterback and punter. But did carry
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: the ball, like I said, one hundred and one carries
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: for six hundred and fifty yards and six touchdowns. He
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: led the team in rushing and did it by a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: few hundred yards. And you start combining you know, the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: total offensive yards together and you're going, you know, almost
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: thirty five hundred yards and forty touchdowns that he's accounted for.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: And so a huge, huge part of that offense. Completed
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety four passes out of three hundred
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: and forty seven attempts ice that arm, two eight hundred
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: and ten yards and thirty four touchdowns and those are
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: all They all broke school records for a season, and
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: now he's holding career records and I would not be
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: surprised if after next year's over, he's the Wakham County
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: leader in a lot of passing categories of all time.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: And we know, we we talked about that because he's
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: starting as a freshman and that gives you a little
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: bit of an advantage where you can put up some
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: numbers and he did really well, but they were a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: little bit more run heavy, but he could really sling
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: it as even as a freshman, and so they took
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: advantage of that. And then you have the weapons that
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: you have over the next those next few years and
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: you can really put up those kinds of numbers, which
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: is explainable. And you know it'll be a little different
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: next year, you know, with some guys that are graduating,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: but you get some good weapons back like theo quiggle
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: like which we just talked about, and he could he
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: could he could do that. He could put up the
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: numbers to where he's you know, he takes over Simon
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Burkett's and Casey Bauman's of the world, and he is
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: the Walking County all time leading passer. And it wouldn't
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me. Another great, great kid where I
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: feel like I can reach out to him and ask
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: him about something about another I could teammate and say,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, is this kid you know, is he
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: turning out for basketball this year or something like And
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: he'll get back to me right away. And just one
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: of those kinds of guys, you know he was. He
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: won Freshman of the Year, he won Sophomore of the Year. Uh,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: there is no Junior of the year, but he could
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: probably be in the running for Offensive Player of the year. Yeah,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: he is a guy where you know, I've heard, you know,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: from youth coaches saying, you know, when we did practice,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: like I didn't even have to worry about I could
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: focus on this because he's basically coaching the offense and
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: then youth football like he just did. The mind is there.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: He knows all the stuff, you know. I mean, there
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: are limitations with his size, you know, to play quarterback
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: at the next level. There might be some opportunities here
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: and there, but I think if he wanted to play
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: at a bigger school, he could be a slot receiver.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: Still another year to go, but he's such a great
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: leader and the stuff he did and on the field,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, there there are some things that he did
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: where I don't I can't even explain it. And and
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: I still think that he punts left footage just to
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: give the other team a chance because he's right handed,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: you know, like he's like, well, you know, I'm so
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: good at everything, I just I might as well kick
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: with the other foot just to kind of even out
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: the playing field.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. But he does punt. He does punt
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: left foot, which.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: Is pretty crazy. And and yeah.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: Just why did we have a punter on there?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Well I have it on my screen. I just didn't
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't send it to you. And that's that's my bad.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, fired, Yeah, I'm fired.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: But man he uh yeah three years as a punter too.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: So what a what a great, great year. And the
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: numbers really jumped out this this year, Like like I said,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking not just breaking Seahome records, but
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: getting close to Wakeham County records for a season, you know,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: all around the board, getting really close to two hundred
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: completions on a season, which is crazy, you know, led
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: the team to as far as seeing football has ever been,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: you know, and the furthest it's it had been in
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: twenty nine years. So uh yeah, just so a lot
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: of great, great things you could say about that, that
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: young man. And and what's cool is that you hear
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of great things said about him from a
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: lot of other people, whether that's parents or coaches or
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: opposing coaches or opposing players or whatever. So that's really
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: really cool. And I can't believe there's gonna we get
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: to watch him for another year. It's really exciting.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: Number nine in the top one hundred count down six
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: foot two oh five running back, outside linebacker, and kicker.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: I think I picked him in all three in one week.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: At one point. He is a senior from the Meridian Trojans.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: I've got to find somebody new to pick. It's number
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: thirty two Landon Downy.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the highest ranked Meridian player on my list, and
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: just mostly because he just did a little bit of everything,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: but he did it so so well. It was All
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: conference in all three All Conference first Team, was named
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: the co Defensive Player of the year for the conference.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: And that tells you a lot. With how many great
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: defensive players there were. That really really says a lot.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed he wasn't on the All
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: State team as a linebacker. I thought he had a
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: chance there. But you know, it's hard to get all that.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: You know, how do the coaches see everything? And how
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: do they know? And there's you know, the best, you know,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of this is the best pure football players
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: a linebacker. So you got a lot of competition there,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: and I get that, but boy, just another one of
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: those just toughness like you think of like the Jacob
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Gandhi's you know, they's just the pure toughness and a
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: lot of that comes from you get these guys that
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: are the wrestlers, and they just they're different on the football.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: On the football field, it was more of a focal
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: point on the offense, uh than he had been in
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: the past. You know, they had Josh den Elmer and
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: and you're able to showcase landing down a little bit
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: more and and he would be he would do a
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: lot in the passing game too, caught nineteen balls for
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: two hundred nineteen yards and two touchdowns. They'd split him
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: out wide a lot. I don't know if any running
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: backs that was split out wide more than him, and
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: that's just finding mismatches or finding all sorts of different
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: different things. And he was really really explosive and powerful
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: and faster than you think. One hundred and thirty carries
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: for six hundred and seventy three yards and score thirteen
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: touchdowns all year. He was in the leader board for
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: the top five scorers just as far as total points
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: and which helped out with his thirty three extra points
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: kicked during the season. You know, it's a it's a
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: unique you don't see a lot of football player, wrestlers
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: and boys soccer players. That's a combo that you don't
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: see a ton of. But he kind of fits all
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: three of those so well. As a defensive as a
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: defensive player on the soccer team, a big, strong kid
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: that you know it's gonna be hard to get past
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: that last line of defense, so he can stand his
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: ground there. Obviously, as a wrestler, the toughness is there
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: as the linebacker, and then it all kind of you
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: can put those two things together and you get this
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: football player that has the toughness, the speed, can doesn't
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: get tired, runs all day and can kick. I mean
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: it's you know, you take the wrestler and the soccer
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: player and you get that football player and his best
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: sport is football. So I know there's opportunities at the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: next level that hopefully he'll be able to take advantage of.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: He and then defensively, I mean fifty eight tackles, thirteen
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: and a half tackles for loss, four passes defended, two sacks,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: two interceptions, two fumble recoveries. And that's what I love too,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: is that you get a lot of guys that have
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: something of each stat. He's got multiples of each stat.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, he is doing a lot of things on
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: that defensive side of the ball, and you know, played
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: all over the defense over the years, but kind of
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: found that spot on the edge opposite of Lincoln Hofer.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: And I think a lot of teams may have ran
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: away from Lincoln Hofer and then they go, crap, we
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: got thirty two on the other side now and he's
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: he's dominating us. So what do you do after that?
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Had a great, great year? You know, I just wish
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: that he would have had a chance in the playoffs
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: and get more eyeballs on him because he's a really
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: really special player.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: Number eight in the top one hundred countdown, six foot four,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty five pounds tight end, outside linebacker.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: He's a senior from the Linden Lions at number eight.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Audman.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, every year, the numbers just kept ballooning more and
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: more and exponentially. Like if you look at one of
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: those like graphs, you know, the thing would go like
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: way up. You could see the numbers every single year.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: Third year in a row, named All Conference first Team
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: as a tight end, second year in a row, All
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: State first team tight end, and you could look at
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: his numbers from years prior and go, well, okay, well,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: maybe there's not a lot of tight ends out there.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's because of his blocking, which a lot of
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: it is is a tremendous blocker. But this year the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: numbers he put up as a receiver were crazy. You
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: don't see a lot of thousand yard receivers as a
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: tight end in high school.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, that's just I mean, I just can't
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: even think of one off the top of my head, Like.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's been some great ones over the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: years in Walkin County. You look at like Cody Boyd,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: Andre Linz and Ryan Sido and Tom Ackerman and Chad Barr,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: and I mean there's been some great ones. I don't
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: know if any of them put over a thousand yards
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: receiving in a season.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: A thousand yards in high school at any position, you know,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: even at receiver is very impressive. A thousand yards as
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: a tight end is ridiculous.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: Now, granted he gets split out a lot, yeah, so
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: I mean I get that, but still he probably played
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: the majority of his snaps as a true tight end. Yeah.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: And and really the great thing about him is, even
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: with his size, he was a lot quicker than a
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: lot of the guys covering him too, which is just
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: kind of scary on its own. You could find the
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: mismatch and you could throw a jump ball and he
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: can get it. And that's great against the smaller guys,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: but if they put a bigger guy on it, there's
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: no chance. I mean, he's just so quick and so
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: fast that he would make plays. Played a little bit
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: of wildcat quarterback as well, you know, in certain situations,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: carried the ball twelve times for forty three yards, scored
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: four touchdowns doing it like I said, they're receiving sixty
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: one catches on the year. That's a lot of catches too,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: by the way, sixty one for one thousand and one
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: yards and twelve touchdowns. And then, oh, by the way,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: coming off the edge, thirty five and a half tackles,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: eight tackles for loss, three quarterback sacks, and three passes
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: knocked down. Just a terror coming off the edge where
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: you can kind of roll the dice and say is
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: he an edge player or is he a tight end?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's gone. You know, you can kind
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: of go back and forth. I know his heart has
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: always been set at tight end. He's going to Eastern
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: to play tight end, which I think this is the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: third year in a row that Walking County is sending
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: a tight end to Eastern, which is pretty cool. And
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: he and what was so cool too is that. And
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he got offered at camp or not,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: but when I was there his junior year at camp,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: when they did the Friday night lights, I mean, he
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: dominant against some bigger schools and and uh, he just
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: kept catching touchdown. He got like three touchdown passes and
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: there in their one possession and they just couldn't match
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: up against him. I can't remember the school they were
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: going against. I think it might have been Kamaiakan, you know,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: and he was just they couldn't stop him. And he
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: he's just a difference maker. And the size and that
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: the overall athletic ability, the reach, the hands, the speed, everything.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: I've been wanting to do this, Like the NFL one
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: hundred did their thing a few few years ago, and
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: I loved all their things. They did the top one
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: hundred everything, and then they did like their one hundred
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: players where you had so many at each position. Yeah,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: I really want I really want to do that for
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: Walkham County. But I have to go back and look
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: at a lot of players like from the forties and
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: fifties and sixties and seventies, and but when you look
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: at tight ends and Walking County history, I mean, he's
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: up there. There's just not a lot of I mean,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: there are some big time, high end guys. There are
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: multiple multiple players that are tight ends that played in
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: the NFL, that played in at high school in walk
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: in Walkham County. Like I'm you know, it's even just
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: as much as preseason, Like with Andrea Linz played with
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks in the preseason. But Cody Boyd played in
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: the NFL, and Tom Ackerman played in the NFL, and
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: and so you get that kind of athlete. But boy,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: he's up there at the high school level, so uh yeah,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: just just a difference maker and one of the few
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: seniors on that team that got a lot of run
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: as a sophomore when they were winning the state championship.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: And and just a great overall football player.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: Number seven in the top one hundred countdown, five foot ten,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty five pounds running back, an inside linebacker.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: He's a senior from the Blaine Border. Rights's number twenty three.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: Jade and Pias.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the biggest surprise of the year. Not that
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: I knew he would be good. He's gonna start it
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: running back and he's gonna have a good year. I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: didn't know it was going to be this good. Yeah,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: just I love it. It's just so awesome. He's playing
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: in the Cleats Versus Cancer game, which is great because
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: he wants to play at the next level. He's got
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: the grades for it, and I think that if he
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: can get some eyeballs there, you know, if he can
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: get six or seven carries in that game. I think
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: he could, you know, he might be able to pop
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: one off. He might have like seventy or eighty yards.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: That's just the kind of way he runs the ball.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: And I think some people are going to be turning
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: their heads, going, who's this kid? And I love that
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: he got the notarization to be an All state pick.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: I love that because I, you know, I'm glad that
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: they're seeing stuff and I you know, I'm hoping that
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: I'm able to get numbers out there to where it's
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: seen a little bit by some other coaches and maybe
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: hopefully that helped a little bit bit, because I love
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: that I can be able to help. But but it
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: definitely wasn't me. It was all him on the field
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: and he just he was dominant from week one and
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: it never slacked off. Even in games where Blaine did
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: not do well, he would have huge games. I mean,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: Blaine did not do well against Mount Baker. He ran
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: for like one hundred and thirty yards in that game.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: Blaine did not do well against Nuksack Valley. I think
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: that was the only game he had under one hundred yards,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't by much. You know, Blaine lost to
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: Blaine only scored one. They lost twenty seven to LC.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: He ran. He had like two hundred total yards in
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: that game, you know, rushing and receiving total. You know,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: it's just he was great every single game, and the
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: games when they needed like that game against Meridian where
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: they needed to win for any postseason chance, he runs
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: for almost three hundred yards, you know, he redid run
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: for over three hundred yards in one game. And and
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: then even even defense, like early in the season, he
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: was a on defense, and then when they realized how
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: much they needed him on offense, they were able to
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: rest them a little bit more. On defense. Axel Shelton
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: was able to move back and kind of take over
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of that grunt work at the linebacker spot,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: so you could rest and Piaz and it worked out
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: for the team completely. But holy cow, I just I
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: didn't expect this kind of season. I thought, you know,
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: we'd probably run for like seven or eight hundred yards.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it was gonna be seventeen or eighteen
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: hundred and and it was, like I said, every single week,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: it was dynamic. It was awesome. Two hundred and thirteen
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: carries on the year eight and fifteen yards and twenty
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns. He also cut ten passes for one hundred
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: and fifteen yards. He had one kickoff return one he
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: returned it forty five yards, and then on defense, although
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: it was mostly just half the season, he had fifteen tackles,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: three passes broken up, two tackles for loss, a sack
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: of force, fumble, a fumble recovery that he returned forty
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: four yards for a touchdown, and an interception that had
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: returned twenty six yards for a touchdown, so he had
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: two defensive touchdowns. He also had a third one called
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: back on a penalty way behind the play, so should
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: have had three defensive touchdowns. He just he just found
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: ways to make plays. And I really really hope, like
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: I said, with he did get he did get like
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: a partial offer for like an NAI school in Kansas somewhere.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the school, but I think that, you know,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: if he wants to be closer to home, and if
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: you can do some good things in the Cleats Versus
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: Cancer game, and and now with a note you know,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: with being named All State, I really hope that someone's
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: gonna take a chance on him. Because he is just
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: he is so much faster and so much stronger than
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: you think when you see him in person, and then
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: you watch him on field. On the field, it's like,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: holy cow, he is unstoppable. So uh yeah, just what
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: a great, great senior year for him and for the
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: Blaine Border Rights, you know going you know, winning seven
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: games this year, which is awesome, and it's just overall
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: it was a really positive year for Blaine and really
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: proud of that kid.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: Last one for today Tyler at number six on the
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: top one hundred countdown, six foot one two and ten pounds,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: that end inside linebacker. He's a senior from the Linden
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: Christian Lynx, number thirty three.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: Trey Bosman, another kid where the toughness handle comes into play.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: Halfway through the year, gets a nasty leg injury and
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: I didn't know if he was going to play again,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: especially not the next week, but it might be out
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: multiple weeks. And then that next week that game against Meridian,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: they're down twenty two to nothing and in the second half,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: and he was the biggest reason why they were able
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: to come back and win that game, especially in overtime.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: He is just the value level is off the charts
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: All County or All Conference first team as a tight end.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: Was the other co defensive player of the Year for
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: the one A Northwest Conference. He also got named on
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: that All state team as the All State first team
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: tight end.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: How about that.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: But this is really really his first year of playing
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: varsity offense. I remember when he helped out at the
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: at the kids camp. I was kind of walking with
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: him and I said, you play a little offense this year,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: and he kind of smiled and said it's like, oh yeah,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: I'll be I said, okay, good, because I didn't like,
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: like I said, I didn't know kind of where they
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: were going to use him or who they were going
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: to go to. And he kind of was putting that
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: Caden Steitan, where play some true tight end, but you know,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: split him out, get some mismatches.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: But as a defensive player, you know when I there
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: are certain places and you know this field where you
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: go to a high school football field and you stuck,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: you kind of go down there and you start getting
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: certain smells or you start getting you start getting certain fields.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: Well I start when I go to LC. I start
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: hearing things. And one of the things I always hear is.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: Troy Bossman on the tackle.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: And it's just it's one of those things where you've
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: heard it so many times and it just it just
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: sinks into you. And there are guys that you just
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: you never forget, and he's one of those players I'll
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: just never forget. I just, oh Man, just such a
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: fun player to watch. This past year, forty catches four
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty seven yards and seven touchdowns. He also
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: threw a thirty two yard touchdown pass that was against
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Royal in the quarterfinals. And then on defense again, you know,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: he was he was kind of the guy as far
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: as tackles go, ninety one and a half tackles, I
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: believe that's his second year in a row over ninety tackles,
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: sixteen tackles for loss, four passes, broken up, two interceptions,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: and half of a sack, and he did it the
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: second half of the year on one leg. And that's
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I just can't I just I can't say
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: enough about that kind of toughness. And it didn't surprise me.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: All I go out into basketball practice and he wasn't
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: out there because he just had to, you know, get
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: healthy with his knee and he started on the basketball
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: team last year that got third in state. So that
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: tells you, you know, that's that's tough to to replace
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: a player like that. But they're doing pretty during good
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: I tell you what. They got some dudes. But Tray
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: Bosman as a football player, he's just a stud. You know,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: there's just no other way to put it. Both sides
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: of the ball, you know, I think he had you know,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: you think about all the tackles and his play in
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: the middle of the field and all that stuff and
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: the toughness, and what you don't think about is how
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: great he was in the past. Is defending the past.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, he intercepted a ton of balls in his career.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: He had two of them this year, but I think
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: he had seven in his career, and he returned I mean,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: he averaged like over fifty yards per return.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: I say, I remember last year we talked about this
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: about how many yards did he have two touchdowns? Last
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: year or something or last.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: Year he had four interceptions and he had two of
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: them for touchdowns and the other two he got tackled
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: inside the five.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that's what I remember. I mean thinking
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: to myself, like, what, like, how does it even happen.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so you know, it was probably a natural
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: fit to put him at tight end. You know, he
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: can catch the ball.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: And score touchdowns or at least get close.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So and and he's one of those guys too though,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: so much respect with the other coaches around the league too.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: I mean you talked to you know, I've talked to
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: many different you know, positional coaches and different things, and
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: they're just like that, Trey Bosman's a stud, Like they
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: always just say the same thing. He's just he's a
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: he's a dude. He's a guy you got to worry about.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: And that's that's always a big thing on at the
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: high school level, is is who do you.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: Have the game plan for?
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's always a disparity, right the pros they're all great,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: you know, college they're all great. High school you it's
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: a little different game plan where if you know, there's
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: certain guys that really stand out, and he was one
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: of those kinds of guys, and it's hard to figure
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: what you're figure out what you're gonna do, especially when
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: you're on offense going against him, because he could he
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: was all over the field. Like I said, you have
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: sixteen tackles for loss, but then you pick off that
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: many passes too. He's you know, he did it all
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: and a great, great year for him.
• 1:31:45

• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: who the five are. And a lot of people will
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: come up to me and say, I think I know
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: who the top five are, and they'll start rambling off names,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: and they always ramble off like nine of them, like
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: well that's how you know, and so that's you know,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: But it's fun. I mean, people are having fun with it.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: It has a little negativity here and there, but that's
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: just kind of comes with it as long as a
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: as long as things are getting shared and all that
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: good stuff, and then it's it's an overall it's a
