  Speaker 1: and the nineties score boards are brought to you by
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Edelin Derry from Satisfied Cows to Satisfied Customers. Edeling Derry
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: is my favorite place in Walkam County to get a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: cold treat, and you can check them out at any
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of their five stores, two in Linden One and Blained
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: one in Sue Mass and of course the one in
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Ferndale where I find myself the most often. And we
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: take a look at the standings here and Linden leading
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the way thirteen and oh on the year, they did
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: have a little bit of a scare there against Kings.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I was there for that game, and I mean, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: was just excited to see that matchup, knowing how good
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Kings is. And you know, Kings played the night before
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: against Nooksack Valley and they were hitting their shots, they
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: were staying in it. The thing about the Kings Knights
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is they only played six players and you play against
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Linden Linen. I think Linden played eleven in there in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that game, and they're subbing a ton and it got
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to them in the fourth quarter. Linden was able to
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: hold on, and you know, still they're averaging seventy points
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a game, they're only allowing twenty nine. Their winning streak
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: right now is, oh my goodness, it's either like at
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: fifty nine or sixty something like that. It's the second
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: longest in the nation. And I don't know if that's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: in just team sports, or if that's in girls basketball
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: or what, but I know it's the second longest in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the nation for something so extremely impressive. But you know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you talk to coach Adams or any of the players,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and it's not about the streak at all. It's about
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: getting better every possession. What did you learn? How did
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you do this? What could you have done better? And boy,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: they play so well and they're just so you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: on script with what they're trying to do. Really impressive
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to see. Linden Christian girls are twelve and one on
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the year. They're in a four game winning streak. They're
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: aftering fifty nine points a game, allowing thirty seven. They
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: broke a school record this week by hitting sixteen three
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: pointers in a game that was against Blaine. I think
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: even something more impressive is they only shot twenty two
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: of them, so they only missed six and they hit
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: six sixteen of them. Estella Hernandez was five for five
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: from beyond the beyond the arc. And they get going shooting,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: especially at home, and they can get on a roll.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: They and you know they get they can just make
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: make make and go go go. So really excited to
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: see what they can do once they I'm gonna say,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: once they get a state, I know, you got to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: get through districts and everything first. But I'm just curious,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you know, now that I've seen Kings in person, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I know there's some other good one day schools out there. Yeah,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious to see where this links team can
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: can stack up. And it's you know, I've been to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: State the last couple of years now and there's been
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: just these heartbreaking losses that they've had where they've had
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to play for you know, where they're not playing for
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the championship game, where I think in both those times,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: both those years, those losses were so close, and so
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: they're just they're right there and we'll have to see
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: what happens. Lemon Nation right now ten and two on
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the year, as is Squalkum. Lemon Nation had a really
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: tough close game against Nia Bay. Nia Bay is the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: three time defending state champions, so to lose by four
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: against them is it's a pretty impressive. But they were
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: down double digits in the fourth quarter. It came back
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and almost won that game. The eighth grader, the guard
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Jordan Reiders, she had thirteen points in that game, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it just it just wasn't enough. You know. Lem Nation
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: had a couple of their top players foul out and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: still almost were able to complete the comeback. They also
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: played without their starting center, celesting James, so you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I mean she was a little her knee was tweaked
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and so our ankle or was some like that, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: so they just sat her. And you know they're going
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to you know, meet again in districts or probably in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the district championship game. So I'm really curious how different
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that would be with Celestin in the game. You know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: she's about five to ten, so it could be a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: big difference. It's kind of a not not that it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a hidden gem, but I think that's just another piece
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that Nia Bay hasn't seen, so that could really help
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: elimination going forward. Like I said, Squalicum also ten and two.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: They're on a seven game winning streak right now, undefeated
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: on the road. They defeated Mount Baker. I was at
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that game as well. They only won by three points.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: They were up double digits in the fourth quarter of
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker made it really interesting in the final period.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: But you know, you'll watch Squalakam and you can just
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: tell that those girls have been playing together a long time,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and they passed the ball so quickly and get the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: ball around and and they just played really well as
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: a as a team. Like I said, they're on a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: seven game winning streak right now, and they are. You know,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: there's there's some good two A teams obviously, but for
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: those three spots, you gotta you gotta, you know, now
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that it's three spots to State instead of two, you
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: really gotta, you know, grab one of those. And you
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: know Lyndon's you know, aiming for one of them. Archbishop
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is going to try to get one of them. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: then you got squalk them right there, see them too.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Seem's ten and three on the year, and they're on
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a three game winning streak, undefeated on the road as well,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and they are really really playing, playing well and playing
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of players. Uh, you know, Kate Schroeder is
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: really coming on strong. I mean she's already a great player,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: but she's had a great she had a really good
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: week this week. Taylor Terrell as well. Yeah, just another
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: fun team to watch. I'm excited to see when they
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: play squal like them again this time when it would
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: be a conference game, and I'll be highlighting that once
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: that comes up. Usually at the end of every episode
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I talk about the big games coming up that week,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and it's not coming up yet, but that will be
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a around the corner. Mount Baker eight and three on
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the year did lose that close one to squalk them,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: like I said, But I tell you this is not
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the same Mount Baker team that we've seen in the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: last few years. They're playing very, very well. And you know,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: obviously Rebecca Sores has draws a lot of the attention,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: scores a lot of points, gets a lot of rebounds,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: blocks a lot of shots. But I tell you what,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you watch Violet Fox, and I don't know if she
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: ever gets tired. She's just constantly running around give rabbing steels,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: getting assists, grabbing rebounds and you know, at scoring like
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: six or eight points, just kind of doing what she
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: needs to do. And that addition has been huge to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: that to that team, and there are a lot of
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: fun to watch. They've kind of locked into like this
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: seven player rotation right now and it's been working. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to have really good endurance if
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you're going to be doing that, and they are doing it,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and it's been fun to watch. Nikzac Valley six and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: four now on the year, they did drop that last
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: one to Kings, but still a very very formal team,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: still without Shaley Davis, not exactly not exactly sure when
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: she'll be able to play again, but without her, a
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: lot of other players have been having to step up
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and and you know, obviously Peyton Bartell on the outside,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Graced Hoague on the inside, UH, can do a lot
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: of good things. And you've got a lot of these
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: younger players. You know, Natalie van lu had a big
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: game the other night Lysette Flores is having her these
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: moments where she's starting to shine a little bit, which
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is good and she's needed that, you know, with Shaley
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Davis not playing, so you know, just another guard that
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: can disrupt things and stuff like that. So, uh, they'll
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: be just fine. Hall of Fame coach, you know, they'll
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: be all right. They will be just fine. They're kind
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of in a weird funk right now, in a we're
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: in kind of a strange way because they're not one
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. But once they get everything back and going again,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they'll be pretty formidable. Uh. Their game against Mount Baker
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, that's going to be a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: real telling game for both teams. I think and that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: will be that will be in not this upcoming week,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: but the week after, So we'll be excited for that.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Bellium BayHawks seven and five on the year. I tell
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you what they you know, Drew Drew mcfall's got them
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: going good and I really really like what they're doing.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: You know, still above five hundred this deep in the season.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know the last time Belliam girls basketball team
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: could say that, So that's really really exciting. Ferndale girls
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: are three and seven on the year, as are the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Meridian girls. Ferndale they've just played some really really tough
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: competition and they it's it's rough because Jillie fox Now
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: is injured and so without her, you lose a lot
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of size and you know in the middle and a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: lot of experience. Ari Guilde came in. She grabbed nineteen
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: rebounds in a game, and so she's been kind of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: taking that spot. You know, you got a lot of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: great shooters around you know, when they're hitting their shows,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they could they could beat anybody. But that's the thing
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta hit your shots. So but you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you got Abby White out there jumping center and she's
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: probably five six, so they're very small, scrappy. Uh, they
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: get after it and they're fun to watch, but it's
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: just it's so disheartening without Jilly out there because she's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: just such a great player and to have this for
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: this haapp in her senior year. It doesn't look like
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be able to come back, so that's really
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: really tough. Meridian also three and seven on the year,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: they're on a three game losing streak right now. You know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: they's just just turning the ball over too many times.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just just things that just aren't clicking
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: right now. There are there's flashes of some really cool
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: things that are going on, but it's tough. You know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: for the most part, they're just haven't had a ton
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: going their way. But you know they'll be they'll be
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: all right. There's some really good athletes on that team
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and they'll they'll kind of get things going and you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: never know, you get to districts how things will go.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And then blame three and eleven right now on the year,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they're on a five game losing streak right now, but
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they finally kind of got everybody back healthy at the
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: same time. Again, you know, Brietta Sandel was out earlier
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: in the year, Kate Kereski was on vacation. He got
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: everybody back now, so kind of curious to see how
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that will all happen, you know, And I think I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: think b Dixon is playing, you know, with more confidence,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: playing a lot better. Hayley Cruz same thing, and so
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you know they're they're starting to kind of get their
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: rotation kind of set and for the second half of
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the year as we move on down the road. So
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: let's take a look at the stat leaders and those
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: are brought to you by Acceleration Driving School and Linden.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Kevin Auscinc. Of Acceleration Driving School has always been sponsoring
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a boys and girls sport at the same time. Throughout
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: each season that passes, many of you are learning out
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to drive, and I strongly advise you to check out
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School and Lynden. Give Kevin a call at
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: three six zero seven four six four five six seven,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: tell him you heard about them on the Welcome Preps podcast.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: When we look at the leaders here start off with
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: points per game and that's Finley partser of Linden right now,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: averaging twenty two point seven points per game. It's pretty incredible.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And what's really fun to see is that when they
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: play against the tough, tough teams like Kings, he averages
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: more points than those games. So that really shows you
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: something because the big players really shine in the biggest games,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and so that, you know, it tells me a lot
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: right there. She's also leading in field goal percentage at
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: sixty nine point six percent and three point percentage at
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: forty eight point nine percent. Her teammate Peyton Mills is
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: leading in free throw percentage at eighty seven and a
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: half percent. Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker is leading in
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: rebounds per game at fourteen and a half and blocks
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: per game at three and a half, while Eileena Rebang
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of Lemon Nation is leading an assists per game at
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: six point one and steals game at five point six.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Which means we're ready to talk about the player of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the week. And of course the player of the Week
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: is brought to you by Anytime Fitness. Go check them
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: out and Linden Linden North or Ferndale. I love. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: walk into the Ferndale location and it's just like it's awesome, man,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it looks it looks almost like futuristic. It is so
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: cool and it's I don't know, I just something about
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it is really really cool and and you know, maybe
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: one of these days, if I have a brief moment,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'll get myself a membership and and try to lose
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a few LB's because it would be a good idea.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: But I advise you to do the same, and I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: advise you to go to Anytime Fitness to go do it.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: The Anytime Fitness Player of the Week is Binley Parture
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: of Lindon. You know, she's one of those players that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I can almost I almost overlook her every week because
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I look for someone who's really shined that that week,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that really deserves it. And this week there were players,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I mean there there are some really good performances Lexi
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Robbins of Squalkoum, Kate Schroeder Sea Home, you know, just
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Estella Hernandez at Lynden Christian. There's there are some really
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: good moments out there and by different players. But Finleyparcher,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I could almost give it to her every week,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: but this week it really really came through and so
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the Lyndon Junior Guard, she's your Anytime Fitness Player of
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the Week. Let's shift our attention now to boys basketball again.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: The nightly scoreboards are brought to you by Edeline Darry

• 26:02
  Speaker 1: That's mc Eeri Construction dot com. Well, let's take a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: look at the standings for boys basketball and right now,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Lynnon Christian sits on top with a twelve and one record.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: They are also on an eleven game winning streak and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: they're starting to get everybody healthy too. Boyce Robertson played
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: in his first game, which is good to see. He
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: was he started last year and only he just got
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: back to play his first game. I believe that was
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: against Blaine. So they're starting to get everybody back and
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: once they get humming and going, they are really really
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: hard to stop, averaging seventy five points a game, allowing
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: just fifty eight. Lem Nation is twelve and one as well,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: but they do have that one tie. They are on
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a ten game winning streak. They just defeated Nia Bay
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. And congratulations to Jerome Toby Junior, which
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: who is a senior guard, and he surpassed two thousand
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: points in his career. Think about that for a second,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: two thousand points in a basketball career. It's really impressive.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I if you get three hundred in a season, he's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: at two thousand and so you know, it's been a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: tremendous career. Yes, he did start playing as an eighth grader,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: but he did miss a chunk of the end of
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: his sophomore year. And he's just one of those players
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that wows you every time you see him. And right now,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Elimination still looking pretty darn good and did have a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: close game there against the lay the Partage earlier in
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the week, and that was expected that there's another great,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: great team tremendous atmosphere. They played down to Everett Community
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: College and uh yeah, great, great game. Limination pulled it
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: out at the end there and third place see home.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: See Mariners are eight and four on the year. They're
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: on a two game winning streak right now. Saw the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: game where they defeated Oak Harbor at home. That was
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: such a cool thing to have there on that Friday night,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: he had the thirty year anniversary of probably the best
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: basketball team in the state of Washington's history, got together.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Almost everybody was there. I got to see Pat Fritterer,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: their head coach. I got to talk to him for
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit. He actually remembered me from twenty five
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: years ago, like covering him with the belly and harald
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: that way. He goes, you're still doing this. I just
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I thought that was so cool that he actually recognized me,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: because that don't look anything like I did twenty five
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: years ago. But you know, we got talking and it
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: was just so cool. I mean, he's he looks great.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: He looks like he could still be coaching for quite
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a while. And that team is just unbelievable. I mean,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: they went thirty and zero. They were in the highest
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: classification in the state. They even won the state championship
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: by forty points. At the end of the year, The
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: USA Today had the nationally ranked as the fifth best
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: team in the nation. That year, four players were named
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: All State First Team. You know, I mean, it was
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: just crazy. There has so many good players and good
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: memories from that team, and it was one of those
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: teams that, you know, they didn't have any players that
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: scored two thousand points in their career. I don't even
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: think they had any players that scored one thousand points
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in their career. But what they had was a tremendous team, unselfish,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: just throwing the ball around, getting open and making plays,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and they were impossible machine to stop. So that was
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: really cool to see. But this year's Seahome Mariner team
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: they're doing great too. They've settled into their little seven
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: man rotation and you know, beat some good, good teams
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this week, and so right now they're riding a little
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: two game winning streak at eight and four on the year.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Squalicum Storms seven and four on the year, and they're
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: riding a four game winning streak. Hunter callaway back from injury,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and and they've won four in a row now with
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: him in the lineup and Oriyan Grandberg. Kittle had himself
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a heck of a game on Saturday against Mount Baker
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: where he think he went for like twenty three points
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: and fifteen rebounds, made two. He was two of three
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: from downtown, which he's not an outside shooter, but you
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: leave him open, he is. And Blake Elston's still doing
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: great things. So this team seven and four right now,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know if people saw that coming,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you know, even without Callaway for the first month of
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the season, especially because of that, I didn't think they
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: would be seven and four at this point. But they're
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: playing very, very well, and all the like the glue
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: guys you know, or they know their rules, are doing
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: some really good things. So they're a lot of fun
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to watch. They're still averaging or they're allowing more points
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: than the average, but they get the wins when they
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: need them, and they won four in a row, seven
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: and four on the year. Lyndon. Lyndon is eight and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: five on the year, had a close one there at
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Bellingham on Saturday, but they pulled that one out. They
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: lost a close one to Mount Vernon in overtime, but
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: then they beat Wooley a really good team, and Linden's
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: still not one hundred percent. Yes, she got Ty Jorgenson back, Spencer,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Spencer Adams is back, Lewis Whitney is now out, so
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: still not one hundred percent of it. Maybe I'm oping
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: by the time the playoffs roll around they will be.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: They're so well coached, Uh, they will be just fine.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Bellingham six and six on the year. They had some good,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: strong wins this week that they did lose that one
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to Lyndon. They're you know, they had a close one
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: at Oak Harbor where they won by one. They were
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: up by three points and there was a foul on
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a shot on the three point shot with no time left,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: so their best player was able to shoot three free
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: throws down by three, and he made the first two
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and missed the last one, and then that was the game.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Bellingham wins by one. Bellingham six and six on the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: year right now, and I think they're playing a little
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: better than people expected, especially with Milo Wright, their third
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: year starting point guard out for the year. Van Hoten
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: has come on and as a off more and filled
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: that role extremely well. Of course, Joe Harvard is an
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: athletic freak hard to stop him, and Barrett Johnson is
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: really matured in this at the center position, and Calvin
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: ben Hoffway can can shoot the lights out, and Cyrus
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Campos just does all the other stuff. I mean, he
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: grabs a ton of rebounds, it gets a lot of assists,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and he can hit the open three. So it's a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: team you got to watch out for. Nuckzack Valley, Blaine,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and Meridian are all four and eight at the moment.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: The crazy thing about Nucksack Valley they haven't won a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: game at home yet, kind of just kind of one
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of those anomalies, and they're on a four game losing
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: streak right now. They've been without Cole Koppinger for I
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: think two or three of those games, and I think
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: they're s still trying to find their identity. They're playing
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: really good teams. But you know, that's the thing about
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: you know, especially with Nuxack Valley, Blaine and Meridian and
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: all these teams were talked about they could all kind
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: of beat each other. So it'll be really interesting to
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: see what happens once it gets to the playoffs. They're
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: all very even right now. Upports all four and eight.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, Blaine Blaine. They got Peyton
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Bauman back, which has been nice to kind of throw
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: him into that rotation, kind of rest some more guys.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: He can do some good things. He's very quick off
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the dribble, especially for a six foot three player. And Meridian,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and Meridian had to play against Anta Cortis. I saw.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I saw the first half of that and they started
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: out really well. But Anta Cordis Is they're very machine
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: like as well, and uh, you know, that's just a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: tough one for the Trojans. But I think the Trojans
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: kind of got things figured out so they could they
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: could close here on a pretty high note, and I
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: think they will. Mount Baker and Ferndale are both three
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and seven on the year. Mount Baker dropped four in
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a row, and I brought that up a little bit earlier.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: But there's moments, I mean, there's there are moments when
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: they're playing extremely well and so they kind of along
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: with Niokxack Valley Blamed and Meridian, this is again, this
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: is where they can all they have the ability to
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: beat each other, so that once it gets to the
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: district playoffs, that will that will really you know, they're
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I think they're just fighting and not be four or five,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: so they don't have to play that play in game
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: because then it's you know, you lose once and you're done.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: But we'll have to see because those teams are all
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: very comparable to each other and Ferndale. Ferndal's they won
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: a couple in a row. Now they've beat they beat
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon and then they beat Nuxac Valley and so
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I and they've kind of whittled their rotation down to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the six or seven. And that's been interesting to see
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: because once they it's it's so weird how sometimes and
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of new varsity guys, you know,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: coming from last year. So when you have that, it's
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: just about finding, you know that the month of December
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: is just kind of finding who works and what works
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: in your rotation and try all these different guys and
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: different things. And then once you get to January you
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: feel like you kind of have it and you see
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: things like this. You see it a Ferndale team who
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: was one and seven at the time now have won
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: two in a row, so against two pretty good teams.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: So that tells me something that Ferndale has found something
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that they like and they're gonna go with it, so
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: let's kind of see how that goes from here on out.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the stat leaders right now,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and they are also sponsored by Acceleration Driving School and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Lindsen and Lyndon. They've been sponsoring the girls basketball and
• 35:23

• 36:06
  Speaker 1: He is shooting eighty five percent from the foul line.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: He's another one of these players. Every time he releases
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: the ball looks like it's going in. He just has
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: that kind of shot, really good shot. Three point percentage
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Blake Elston of Squalicum forty five and a half percent.
• 36:21
