  Speaker 4: already reached out about wanting to do like the stat
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: leaders for basketball and you know, just all sorts of things.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: So it's really really great and you could be a
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: part of it. And yeah, I just reach out that
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: way and just ask how you be a part of it.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: We can go from there.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You know, last week we had some coaches and Spokeane
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and they were over there. They went over to see Whitworth,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: but also used it as an opportunity to see the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: two Spokane schools that are going to be in the
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: four A round to thirty two, And so I was
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: talking to him, and they're saying, oh, yeah, we stayed
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: at this hotel and you know who was there.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, yeah, who's that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Baylor was and I was like Baylor, like yeah, the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Baylor basketball team. And I was like what And then
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: it's like, wait, like NCAA men's basketball is already going,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: like what the hell Baylor Bears. Yeah, it's exactly what
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: it was. It was the men's basketball team for Baylor.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: They were there to play Gonzega.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: It was like I was like wow, I didn't even realize,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: like it just, you know, college basketball pops up out
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: of nowhere all of a sudden. It's like, oh, hey,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: by the way, we're playing like it does.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: It so does, and it really hits us because we're
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: kind of in the thick of of what we do. Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and when it happens, so it really slapped us in
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the face. I caught one of it a day or
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: two ago because Devin Coppinger scored her first point for
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: the Huskies. So I was like, I was like, oh, wow,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that's already happening. Yeah, it was the exact same.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Feel, yeah exactly.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, and you know what, if college basketball is going,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: that means high school. Winter sports are right here. I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it's it's not far away. I mean every year there's
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: a few teams that have to push back, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: like a few of the eight man football teams or
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the one A teams that end up pushing back, you know,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: a basketball game or two because their football team has
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: all their players, you know, and they're in they're in
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the state championship game. Or I remember one year it
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: was it was Odessa. You know, Odessa had you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: eight basketball players and seven of them were on the
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: football team, right and they're like, well, we can't play
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: with one and you know, we're not going to be
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: ready to go. And if I can remember correctly, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: believe it was Odessa. Maybe another year or is Almiracoolie
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Heartline one of the two where they played the state
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: championship game on like a Friday or a Saturday, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: then they were playing like their first basketball game the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: next Friday, and it was like all of the same
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: players and I was just like, good lord, and then
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: they I think it might have been Odessa because I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: pretty sure they won the state basketball tournament as well,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and then those same players were playing a baseball game
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: like four days later and it was like they just
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: went from one sport to the next to the next,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and it was just like wow, I mean, those guys
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: never get a day off. I mean, unbelievable. But so yeah,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: be sure to reach out to Tyler or you know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: The other thing too is I'm sure there's I'm sure
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: there's people listening right now that are going you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: who'd be a great sponsor for Walkam Preps would be.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: This place right Hit those people up, tell them how
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to get ahold of Walkham Preps.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I hear that a lot, like from the from
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the actual sponsors that I get, like they will tell me.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: You know who also would be good would be these people.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: I'm going to talk to them and all of a
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: sudden I hear from them and yeah, whatever, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: so that does happen. It kind of spreads a little
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: bit like that, which is great.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, we've got what do we got nine games
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: this week? Yeah?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Nine games?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Tell you what, It's gonna be tough for us to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: record Sunday night. This might be it might be one
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: of those Tuesday podcasts for football this week because we've
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: got five games on Saturday alone. I mean Tyler, by
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the time you get to the Saturday games, you might
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: have all the other games done.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's I doubt it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying it's it's pretty crazy when you look
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: at this schedule because we got one game Thursday, we
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: got three on Friday, and five on Saturday. I mean, yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of football.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: That being said, they do actually kind of go in
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: order in the way that we do this, because the
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: first three games actually don't you know, I don't want
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: to say they have no meaning, but the first three
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: games are games that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: This is for sure their last game of the season.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're done.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, for four teams that we're
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: going to talk about here, Tyler, we could start prepping
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: on the Senior podcast if we wanted to. That's true.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, well we're gonna talk about that. We got
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Randy Small's weather forecast, we've got the pick'em's, and we've
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: got the fantasy So be sure to stick around here.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: We got a lot of stuff to talk about Thursday, Tyler,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: that's the first.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Game of the weekend.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, some of you might be
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: listening to this after that game has already been played.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Some of you might be getting this podcast Thursday morning,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: going alrighty, we got Bellingham and Blaine. You know they
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: might be fired up for this one. So yeah, Bellingham
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: two and seven, Blaine six and three. It's a six
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: pm game at Blaine High School, Tyler. I mean, it's
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: one of those ones where you know, Blaine they're just
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: coming off, you know, a tiebreaker loss. Bellingham. You know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like they've played a lot better in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: last half.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Of the season.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: So this is one of those ones that you never
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: know what could happen here because I feel like coach
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Olsen's going to have the boys ready to go motivated
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: no matter what, because that's just kind of what they
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: do there at Blaine. Right now, Bellingham, they're obviously motivated,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: been playing really good football, so this game could have
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: some fireworks.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I feel like, Yeah, I definitely think so, they're definitely
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: gonna want to go out on a big note. These
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: two teams played each other last year at Blaine High
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: School and and I heard about it for picking the
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: border rights and then the BayHawks won. I heard about
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: it from a lot of players on the belly m team.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: But so I think that I think This is a
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: good game for both teams. I know that there's a
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: lot of like seven on seven over the summer that
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: was played out there at Blaine High School, so a
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: lot of these kids know each other from that. You know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: these are two coaches that definitely want to have their
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: programs that you know, they came in and they're trying
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: to change the culture and get the program on the upswing,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and so they're going to really want to get the
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: win here for that. I love that this game is
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: actually happening. You know. Coach Leonard was telling me, like,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: you know, before this was scheduled, like we're going to
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: try to schedule one of the two teams that doesn't
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: make it on the Monday night thing. You know, like
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: he's like, want to keep it in the county. I
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: want to keep it local. I want to and which
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: is awesome. And so they were able to do that
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: and and they're gonna turn around and play it on
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Thursday right away, and and uh, it's gonna be It's
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: gonna be great. I mean last last year's game was
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: a was a really really good game. Wyatt Stephan kind
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: of took over. He had five touchdown receptions, tied to
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the Walking County record, him and Josiah Westbrook the only
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: two players to ever do that. And the funny thing
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: is they both did it on the exact same field. Well,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: I shouldn't say exact same same.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, same, different, different substence or whatever you want.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, same geographical location.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So what's it called.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: It's the longitude latitude amount, right, yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: So so yeah, So there's there's a lot of cool
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: things here. Blaine's strength obviously running the ball at Bellingham
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: strength stopping the run. So you got that going for you.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Even when Blaine is up against teams that have gotten
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: them pretty good, Piez still gets his yards. I mean
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: he still ran for well over one hundred against Lennon
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Christian they lost by three touchdowns. He ran for well
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: over one hundred against Baker, they lost by five touchdowns.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Against Nook Sac, I mean Nuksack smoked him pretty good
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: and put a running clock on him, and I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Pias still had like eighty five yards. So he tends
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: to get his yards regardless, and so we'll kind of
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: see that. I'm curious to see how Blaine will defend
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: the kind of the quick passing game of Bellingham. They
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: like to, you know, but with Ben Leonard back there,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: it's been a lot of shotgun one read boom go
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: really quick and so he likes to get the battle
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: his hands quickly to those dynamic playmakers on the outside,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Howell boayane combat that. You know, we you and I
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: were kind of talking off the air that sometimes some
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: of these Week ten games kind of have some weird
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: outcomes to it depending on how motivated they are. I
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: think this one will be pretty good. I think these
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: are two teams that really want to finish out strong
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: and and I think that this one, this one's gonna
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: be a fun one. I like that it's on Thursday
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: night by itself, hopefully a lot of people are will
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: go out to watch it. There's some big stuff going
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: around the county as well, I mean volleyball and soccer.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: There's some huge like loser out contests going out going
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: on at kind of the same time. So I'm not
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: sure if I'm going to be out there for the
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: whole thing or just part of it that still remains
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: to be seen, but it should be. It should be
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: a really really good game. I like this matchup here.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Bellingham two and seven Blaine at six and three. That's
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: a six pm game on a Thursday at Blaine High School.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Meridian five and four, they are headed down to take
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: on Marysville Chedule two and seven. That's a six pm
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: game at quil See the Stadium. Tyler, I feel like
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: it's been about a month and a half since we've
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: been to quill See the Stadium, even though they were
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: there what the first three weeks in a row this year.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. Down there a lot early on in
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: the season. It's been a while. I have only seen
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Getchel once. That was kind of Ferndale's first big win
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: of the year. As a matter of fact, it might
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: have been their first win of the year. And now
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: that I'm thinking, but if it was either week three
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: or week four. But but yeah, and Ferndale got him
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: really really good. Meridian right now, they're just kinda ever
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: since they got shut out by Nuokzack Valley, I mean,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: it's just been rough ever since then. They came out
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: really strong against Lenny Christian, but couldn't hold onto that lead.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: The game goes into overtime and they and they lose
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: it on a two point conversion, uh you know, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: then they lost it playing and then and then fell
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: in that in that Kansas tiebreaker. So they're trying to
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: find something to get back on track, and and you know,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: you're playing a few classifications up, but it's been a
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: struggle for the Chargers this year. So uh, you know,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: it's really hard to say kind of how teams like
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: that match up.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I I recall so many times when like Knuksack Valley
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: would play Oak Harbor in a Week ten game and yeah,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: and I was like, well, you know, oakarbur struggles. Niksac
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Valley did too, but they played a tough one a
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: schedule and then Knoxsac would beat him by like four
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: touchdowns or something. They'd be like, oh okay, and and
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: so we'll have to see here how this goes. I
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: you know, I think Meridian's got a ton of talent
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: and they have a big senior class. I think they're
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: gonna want to really go out strong here and we'll see.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I'm glad that it's you know, playing on on turf.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Seems like I can picture in my head a lot
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: of Meridian Week ten games where they've played on grass
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and it was just mucky. I you know, playing I'm
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: trying to remember if it was like a South would
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: be or something just a couple of years ago, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: it was it couldnt even I mean, it couldn't even
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: have been last year. Maybe I can't remember, but I
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: think it was two years ago. They played like on
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: a Thursday night they close out the season, and it
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: was just a mud bath.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: And so I'm glad that they're playing on the stadium
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: like this. It sounds it looks like every single game
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: this week is on on turf. So that's kind of
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: nice too. But well, as far as you know, if
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: you like that kind of thing, I know you like
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: the mud, and.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why you thought that that was
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a good thing to say.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Well you know what I mean, like it's gonna be
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: there's you're not gonna be slipping around in the mud
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: and stuff like that. But hey, I'm all I'm all
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: for it too. I I do like that kind of stuff.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: But they're not gonna be tearing up some fields late.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: But Meridian, you know, I really think they're gonna try
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: to finish this on the right the right path. I mean,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: they're above five hundred. Uh, they're they're a really good team,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and and uh, this is This means this might be
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: one of the games where they're gonna pull out a
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: lot of stops and have some fun plays and you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: some trickery and stuff like that, which you know they
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: don't do it too much in league play because they
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: know them so well. But in a game like this
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: and there's really nothing to lose, yeah, there could be
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of fireworks here.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: You kind of never know, and I mean you have to,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you have to kind of almost expect it in a
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: way from Meridian in a in a no lose situation,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's yeah, yeah, I mean
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: you just don't know. But uh, Meridian five and four
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Marysville schedule two and seven to six pm at quillse
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: The Stadium in Marysville.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: The final.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Non playoff game if you will here squal Cum five
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: and four CAMIAC five and four. That's a seven pm
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: game down at Frank Goddard Stadium. You know, cami Act
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: they finished just outside the playoffs. They they had a
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: game against Jackson a few weeks ago and it basically
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: what it boiled down to was the whichever team won
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: that one was gonna end up going moving on. Even
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: though they didn't know it at the time, but that's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: what it ended up being. So this is a Camiact
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: team that has some serious talent, and we know a
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: little bit about them just from their game earlier this
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: year against Meridian.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were They were pretty explosive at times. They
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: have a lot they have a lot of speed, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: there was just some kind of structural things that were
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: kind of odd looking at times. It was early in
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: the season and you know, I think they they had
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: a pretty darn good record at that time as well,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: finished off five and four. I mean there were I
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: should say five and four at the moment, and you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: they have those those D one defensive ends. The one
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: guy that's the world champion junior Tai Kwango guy, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: the other guy was about six four five and and
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: uh super athletic, and so they have some you know
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: those pieces there. I remember the quarterback was a pretty
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: good athlete, could run around a lot, and they had
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: some little backs that they could get the ball to
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: that were very, very speedy, and Meridian kind of had
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: to dig into their bag to do some things to
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: stay with them, and they did lost on a two
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: point version in the final, I believe was thirty five,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: thirty four squalk them just like cameack, you know, just
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: missed this round of thirty two for them in the
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: two way. And Squalkum obviously has a lot of talent
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: as well. First year quarterback Cole Burke has had a
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: great year, uh, you know, as far as a completion
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: percentage and and just playing cool in the pocket. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: think his presence has been so I mean, has improved
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: so much from week one to week nine. Uh, as
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: far as you know, he I think the playbook was
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: kind of limited early on, where he had some plays
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: that he kind of knew what to do one, two, three,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: throw that kind of stuff. Now there's been a little
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: bit more improv improvising, uh, jumping up in the pocket,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: stepping up and making a throw, uh, and feeling confident,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: like you could see the confidence in the in the throws,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: which has been awesome.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Marcus Nixon came back last week, had one hundred yards rushing.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: He you know, he's gonna want to go out on
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: a bang. So this one's you know, when I look
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: at all the games, this is one of the ones
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I think might be the toughest to call, Like the
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: pick a winner they both have the same record. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: think Squalalkum is better. Is probably just a better up
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: and down the roster, just a better team. But Camynack
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: has some high end guys that are uber talented, so
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: you just never know. Squalkam has to go on the road.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: This will be interesting, this could this could be a
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: track me. There's gonna be a lot of speed on
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: the field.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's for sure. I mean there's gonna be
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of speed on that field. Squalkum five and
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: four Cameyack five and four, seven pm, Frank Goddard Stadium.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: That's actually at Mariner High School. For anybody headed down
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: that way, be sure to lock your doors once you
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: get out of your car.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Nathan Hale five and four, Lyndon eight and one. This
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: is the first playoff game we're gonna talk about here,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: seven pm game at Ferndale High School. Linden playing at
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Ferndale High School. And it's not against Ferndale, it's against
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Nathan Hale. As a matter of fact, Lynden will be
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: the home team at Ferndale High School. Sounds kind of
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: weird to say, but but yeah, that's a seven pm
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: game on Friday, night, Tyler Nathan Hale. The team that
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: they actually play in the second tier of the Metro League.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: For those of you that don't understand how that works. Basically,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: they take all the really good teams, put them in
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: one tier, all the really bad teams kind of put
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: them in another. Nathan Hale, they finished second out of
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: three in the two A of the Metro League, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: they finished fifth in the second tier. If that makes sense,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know that it does, but that's where they finished.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: They finished three and four in their league. Yeah, Tyler
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Nathan Hale. Probably only the other time I can remember
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Nathan Hale us talking about them was I think they
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: played Meridian at one point.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that was what was popping into my head.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: It was pretty recent. Yeah, I think it was last year.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: It could have been last year or two years ago. Yeah,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: And I remember going to that game, and I think
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: it was like a Saturday It was kind of like
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: a Saturday like five PM type game or something like that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: And I remember Nathan Hale thing scored like right at
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: the end of the first half to kind of keep
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: it somewhat close, but it wasn't close after that, but
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: you know, there had they had a few guys on
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: the field that I remember that had a big, big
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: tight end. I think I think that was pretty good.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: And you know, but who knows, he could have been
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: a senior. I mean that was seems like a long
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: time ago now that I think about it. But but
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: this is I mean, everything points to Linden here. You know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: you could I would imagine that they're gonna get a
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: lot of their you know, backups in there. This is
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: the time of the year now where you know the JV.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I know they played a JV game I think on
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Monday against Mount Baker so well, but it's one of
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: those ones where Okay, they're gonna shuoit up one hundred kids,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: it's gonna look really impressive. They're gonna run around in
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: that big circle with the band playing, and it's like,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: holy cow, that's a two way school and you know,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: so that's all fun and good and interesting and cool
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: to see. I don't know if Old Nate's gonna have
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: the firepower here. I mean, Linden's gonna give it to
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: him pretty good early on, kind of get them right
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: for the playoffs. And yeah, it's this, you know, it's
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a mismatch here. And you know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: this is the two ways first year of doing this
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: round of thirty two. And when you know maybe the
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: talent across the top to the bottom of the entire
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: classification isn't super strong, you're gonna get a few of
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: these kind of matchups and that's just the way that
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: it is. But the bottom line is you're gonna get
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: sixteen really good teams going into the state playoffs.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and just looking it up, they did play last year.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: You're in hereah, yeah, and Nathan Hill did. Yeah, Nathan
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Hall five and four, Lyndon eight and one, seven pm
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: at Ferndale High School on Friday. Now, that's it for
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Thursday and Friday. We've got five Saturday games to talk
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: about here. The first one Kingsway Christian out of the
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Vancouver area. They are six and three on the season
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: out of the Trico League. They are coming up to
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: take on Lynden Christian five and four. That's a two
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: pm game at Blaine High School.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Tyler, Yeah, Kingswick Christian. You know, getting on that, getting
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: on the frue right there at the first exit, going
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: all the way to the last exit, allthough up to
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: Blaine High School. There, so it's a long check for them.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: I feel like we saw Kingswick Christian recently. I think
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: they played Meridian last year.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Perhaps, Yeah, they've played somebody because I remember the Remember
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: I remember putting the logo into the into the drop box, yes.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for the graphics. Yeah, that's the first thing I
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: thought of too, Like I that's I remember it being
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: kind of a cool logo and so so yeah, so
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: this is one of those ones where you know, I think,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: you know, Linda Christian, even though they have a lesser record,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: they're the better team they've played by far, the better schedule.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know, and I know there's different things maybe
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: on max preps in different places where it kind of
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: gives you, like a schedule rating. I'm really curious that
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I would imagine Linden Christian has the toughest schedule rating
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: in the one A.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always hard.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: So that's because that jumble that jumps around as the
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: year goes, so it's tough.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: To Yeah, you know, so like having a schedule a
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: strength of schedule type thing in high school athletics, it's
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: always really hard because like so let me put it
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to you this way. You know, when we talk about
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: uh tennis and how like, oh, these kids look great,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: but then when they go to the state level, who
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: really knows. It's so hard to do with high school
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: athletics because you don't actually know how great that league is.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, you and I sit here and we talk
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: about how great the one A Northwest Conference is, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I truly believe that is true. But that's because I
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: do pay attention to the rest of the state, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I do have a pretty good idea of the rest
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: of the state. But it's really hard to actually tell,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's it's one of those
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: things that's really hard. Now you do strength of schedule
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball or the NFL, where it's all
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: the same teams playing the same teams, you know what
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I mean. Relative, yeah, it's it's much easier, but it's
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: it's sometimes it can be really hard. I mean, you know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: every year the Pack ten or Pack twelve or whatever.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: You know, people used to always talk about, oh, how
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: tough it is and how that and that's why they're scheduled,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: that's why they they don't make it to the what's
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: it called the college football Playoff, And you know, it's
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: such a tough league, and it's like, I don't know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: maybe not so much because then they go to the
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: bowl games and get smacked around a little bit, you
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. So it's like it is one
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: of those things that's kind of hard to tell unless
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: everybody's playing the same teams. But I mean, I can
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: tell you this much just knowing what Kingsway Christian plays
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: in a season. Yeah, yeah, a little bit different schedule.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, if if Lennon Christian wants to go down there,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: the toughest game would be less Center and that's about
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: the only one.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And it is weird because well, let's say Lennon
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Christian gets by Kingsway Christian. Let's just say yeah, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: they will probably be a top They'll probably host a
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: playoff game, is my guess. We in the first l.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they'll host at least one. Sure.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, now just think of this as of all the
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: teams right now that could have the likelihood of hosting
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: around one game next week, Elsie might be the only
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: one that has given up more points than they've scored.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be willing to bet that's definitely true.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: And so that kind of That's what I mean by like,
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: that's a tough schedule. You know, they've they've really got it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You know, are going to absolutely hammer a couple of
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: teams and that'll that'll stop you from being in the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: negative in that category.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Vancouver College is a pretty good Canadian team.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, Seahome is is showing where they're
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: going to be in the two A and and uh
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: and and they and they played uh, why can't I
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: think of their name, the really good two B team.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Alaska, Oh yeah, Okanagan. And they also played the team
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: from across the water, Oh my goodness, North kiss App Yeah,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and North kiss app a little bit of a down
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: but still a very good program. And they finished right,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: they were above five hundred and I'm pretty sure they're
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: in the in the round of thirty two as well.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: So I mean, and then you put that together with
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: the one A conference, you know, the games, and it's like, geez, Louise,
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: that's a that's a really tough schedule. So I guess
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: what I'm trying to say is that you look at
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: them being five and four, you look at them having
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: having not scored as many points as they've allowed. It's
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: kind of deceiving because it's a really darn good team.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: And and when I when I look at things like
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: this where I say, well they're five and four and
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: they get to host this game, that you know, kudos
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: to the matchmakers here because they're looking at stuff like that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: They're looking at who they've played and stuff. So I
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: know there's a lot of other sports now that get seated,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: and so many of them I've talked to coaches and
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: other sports and they're just like they're they're just putting together.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: They're just looking at records. They're not even looking at opponents,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: they're not looking at Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Soccer is definitely like that. I I've seen it where
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: where you find a team that played a pretty tough
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: non conference schedule and maybe went one and three in
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: non conference, and you're like, yeah, but they played all
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: four A schools.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah you're like that, I mean that. Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Like so Tyler just really quickly, I'm looking at their schedule,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Lynn Christian's schedule. I'm pretty sure every single team, so
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Vancouver College obviously they're not going to be in this
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: stat Yeah they will. Basically every single team in here
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: qualified for the Round of thirty two. And the reason
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I say that is because even Meridian and and Blaine
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: they technically qualified for it, they were just in a tiebreaker, right,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: So look at it literally every other every other game. Yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's I'd be willing to bet there's not
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: too many people that can say that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, that's it's crazy.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: And so you know, obviously like Linden, they can't say
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: it because no, like probably a third of their schedule
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: were teams that didn't get out of the two.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: A sure, like there they played Mariner, Maryzel, Piltchuck.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but but it's it's it's really impressive what they've done.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: They've gotten through this gauntlet. They're above five hundred, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: now they get to play at Blaine. Last year they
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: hosted their first round playoff game at Blaine High School,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: so they have a familiarity there of playing some postseason games.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: And and you know, we'll see how this goes, you know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: kind of curious how the weather is going to be.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: We'll have to wait to see what Randy says about that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: But a Saturday afternoon, you know, two o'clock, it's that's interesting.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: They they seem to play pretty well in these afternoon
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: games when they then they then they've played him at
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: home during the regular season, you know, they played Lakeside
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: and a Mouth Falls at that time and handled their
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: business pretty well. LC two has just dealt with injuries
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: like crazy, I mean, especially in the skill position guys,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: and and it's it's luckily for them, that's where they're loaded,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: you know, that's where they have so many guys. I mean,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Trey Blair went out earlier in the year with a
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: really really bad injury, and I hope for his recovery
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: could just keep getting stronger. Mick Owens out for the year.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think Dawson Heinz got hurt last week.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: I hopefully he'll be back. I know he missed some
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: time earlier in the year as well. And yeah, but
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: they got the Hooliot Brothers and they got Boyce Robertson
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: and Trey Bossman's playing banged up, and you know, they're
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: they're a bunch of tough guys, and I you know,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I look for the future and saying like they're gonna
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: be really really strong in the one A in the
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: next couple of years. But right now they're proven. Some
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: team they're proven that, Hey, we're pretty good right now.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: So they're looking great and you know, this will be
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: a big one for them, and I think they can
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: come out on top.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, just to kind of go over their schedule,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: just to quick here, they have losses to Kalama, who's
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: usually one of the better teams at their level of play.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: They lost thirty to twenty to Kalama. They lost thirty
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: four nothing to Les Center, and they lost forty five
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: seven to Seaton Catholic who is undefeated on the year.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: So the Center is pretty good, I've heard.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Center is eight one, six and one in league,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: and Seton Catholic is undefeated in seven to zero in league.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: And then King's Way six and three, four and three
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: in league is what they finished. They actually finished in
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: the three way tie Kingsway, Castle Rock, and Kalama all
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: three at four and three.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: That Trico League is That Trico League is interesting because
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: it seems like, how do I say this, It seems
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: like one of those leagues where their league champion finds
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: a way to lose early most years.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: You know that's interesting.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Les Center has found a way to I mean,
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: remember a couple of years ago, Les Center was the
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I think they were the four seed and they played
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: the thirteen if that matches upright, was that the yeah,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: four and thirteen matchup, I believe in the round of sixteen,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: But uh, they played I want to say Connell, and
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Connell came all the way over and kind of smacked
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: him around a little bit.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: And it's just one of those leagues that interesting because
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Fort Vancouver is one of the worst teams in the
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: entire state, Tyler. I mean, they're just not good. Stevenson's
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: not very good. White Salmon is a Columbia of White
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Salmon's not very good. Kalamba is a new one a team.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: They're there. They've been to b for quite a while.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: They won some state championships too, So it's not like
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I'm saying anything there. Castle Rock is one of those
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: schools it's just kind of inconsistent. You know, they're good
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: every couple of years.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, They've had some good teams in the past
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean you got to go back
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: back though, I'm talking, let's just say the last ten years,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: like they've had a couple of decent teams, but nobody
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: that was ever really threatening, you know. And then Kingsway
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Christian they've only had football for a little bit, Seaton Catholic,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: same thing, you know. So it's I don't know, it's
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: kind of one of those interesting leagues where you know,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: they've never really outside of the center here or there
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: really contended much. You know, it's probably a way to
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: put it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: That being said, that Vancouver area is just growing and
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: growing and growing. I mean, it won't be long before
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Les Center probably a two A school. You know that
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: that area is just consistently growing because people don't want
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: to live in Portland, but they also don't want to
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: live in Oregon, you know, so they live in the
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: state of Washington and then they work in Oregon.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: And then Camus is huge now, I mean, yeah, that's
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: growing like crazy, which.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Is right there, Camus in Washoogle, all those areas that
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: are not part of Vancouver. It's where people are moving to.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: You know, Ridgefield was a one A school. You know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: it won't be long before Ridgefield's a three A school.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I'd be willing to bet Greylyn and Woodland is getting
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: bigger and all of those schools down there. It's pretty crazy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: How fast it's growing in that area. It's the same
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: in the Tri Cities and you know the outskirts of
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Spokane as well. You know it's grown out there just
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: like crazy. But so yeah, anyway, Kingsway Christian six and three,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Lennon Christian five and four, two pm. Blaine High School
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: also at two pm, but it's across the mountains. Mount
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Baker five and four is Zilla seven and two. That's
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: an Andy Collins Memorial field. It is at Zilla High School.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's turf. I remember somebody sending me something.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: And if it's not turf, I do know that they
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: always have incredibly nice grass out there. The two or
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: three times I've been Tozilla for games, the grass was
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: very very Mount bakersh you know what I mean, like
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: just in tremendous shape. Like I don't know how they
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: do it. I don't know if they hired a guy
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: from the PGA tour. I don't know exactly what it is,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: but it was just in phenomenal shape. But I'm pretty
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: sure they went to artificial turf. But yeah, Zilla one
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: of those schools. I feel like we maybe talked about
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: them more basketball and we do football, even though they
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: are a very strong football program.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the first thing I think of is basketball,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: and just from like reputation and then going to the
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: state basketball tournament last year and then seeing them live
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: and like, oh man, yeah they are for real. So
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: this will be a really interesting one as far as
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: I know, spread you know, just kind of the same
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: thing a lot of teams are going to now. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: but my big thought is, you know, do they play
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: anybody that runs the wing tea? Probably not well.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: And if they do, like they do they like I
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: don't know if College Place does. I don't know if
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Keona Benton does. You know, Cashmere they always run the
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: ball a lot, so maybe yeah, maybe they do, I
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: don't know, but they definitely don't run it with the
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: same precision and the same you know, I don't know
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: if it's one of those like Pat Jones, he's the
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: head coach at Kennedy Catholic.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even have.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: A play sheet, you know what I mean, like like
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: because yeah, and that's what I was gonna say. It's like,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I don't even know if coach Lep has one. No,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: you know, he might have something that has like some
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: scenarios that he wants to make sure that he you
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: know what I mean.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Like they it's all feel Yeah.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Well, what I'm saying is is sometimes those guys will
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: keep like a piece of paper that just has like
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: a couple of things to remember, you know. Yeah, but
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: it's not a play sheet, you know, it's it's like
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: a hey, sometimes they like to do this on third down,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: and so you want to keep that little you know
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: something something. But yeah, there's no way they play somebody
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: that runs it to the same precision of what we're
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: talking about with Baker.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's there's just you know, it's kind of
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: a weird feeling about how Mount Baker when they lost
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: the game to Lynden Christian, Yeah, you know, it was like, okay,
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: we're zero and three in conference now, and that's it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of the feeling, right, and then
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: you figure out that, Okay, well there's an outside chance
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: if this and this and this, and then all of
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: a sudden, all this and this and this all happened
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: and now you're in And I mean is I'm not
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: saying they're the same team they were two years ago
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: when they went there. I think they were the ten
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: seed and they you know, they went on the road
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: and just were beating everybody as the ten seed. You know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: they went and beat tona Io, and they went and
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: beat I think it might have been Lakeside nine Mouth Falls,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: and they it just kind of kept going get all
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: the way to state championship game, and it was like
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: it's like, man, everybody had LC and k Nookseck, you know,
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: and Baker comes out of nowhere and gets the state
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: title game. So I'm not saying it's that team, but
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: it's kind of a unique scenario where everyone kind of
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: counted them out and now here they are, and so
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: you're kind of playing with that house money, but you're
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: also playing with some pretty darn good seniors that want
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: to do some stuff. And they just went East of
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: the Mountains last week. You know, like that that they
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: have a good feel for that. They like the long
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: bus rides, the camaraderie. And I tell you what, Ryland,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw any of the film.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's no reason for you too, really, but
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: the way they looked on Monday night was just different,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Like they look way different than they did earlier in
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: the year, even just recently in the year. They were
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: so fired up, and if they can just kind of
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: hold on to that and bottle it up somehow and
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: keep it going, they could they could make some noise
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: here because once they kind of get that machine going
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: with kind of and a lot of it has to
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: do with coach LEP's ideas of when he wants to
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: call certain things and he kind of gets a feeling
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: for this. Okay, now is when we're doing to the counter.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: Now we can do the draw, and now we're do
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: the belly. Now we're gonna do the end around. Now
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: we're gonna do the play action. I mean, it's just
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: and it just starts working. It starts working, and it's like, man,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: how do you stop this? And their defense has been
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: pretty darn good all year. I think it's been pretty underrated,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean earlier, I mean, I know, Sultan's
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: not a great team, but they were putting up points
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: to get some other teams in Baker shut them out.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: And and they have done some really good things on defense.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: They have a very young defensive line with a very
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: veteran linebacker Core and and and and more athletic than
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: they're used to on the back end, and kind of
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: all those things tied together. You know, Smith as a
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: kicker has been money. Uh, there's some good things about
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: this team right now, where you know, a few weeks ago,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: we're thinking, Okay, they're gonna you know, play squalk him
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: again in week ten and that's gonna be that. Well,
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: it's totally different now. Uh, I know this is this
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: is gonna be crazy, you know. I I just hope
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be on NFHS or something. I might have
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: a split screen going here with a couple of games
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: and writing stories and all this stuff. It's gonna be awesome.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: I I we're you know, it's it's it's here. And
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: now it's a chance to get into the state playoffs again.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: What's that playoffs?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, playoffs Zilla.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: They did finish third in the Sea c Uh. They
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: have a seven and two overall record, six and two
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: in their league. They're two losses to Royal and to Kashmir,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: the two teams ahead of them. Royal was a forty
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: nine to twenty one loss and Kashmir was a thirty
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: five six loss. Yeah, I mean this is a this
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: is a good program. They've always got athletes out there,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: so it'll be interesting to see what happens. Mount Baker
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: five and four, Zillas seven and two, two pm, Andy
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Collins Memorial Field in Zilla and Tyler. If somebody's headed
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: that way to go to the game, I mean they
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: can stop it.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Majors.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, Majors. Yeah, absolutely, majors. And
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Yakama on the way, get yourself a burger. Tell him
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: the burger, bastard Senta. It won't get you anything special,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: but it'll get a good laugh.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Chief Self.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: They are eight and one. They're coming to town to
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: take on Sea Home six and three. That's a four
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: pm game at Civic Stadium. This is a Chief Self
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: team that they got a lot of They got a
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: lot of talent, they got a lot of speed. They
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: are coached by a young man that I covered while
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: he was in high school. His name is Darren Camacho
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: was I believe he was a state wrestling champion as well.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Really really good young coach. This is going to be
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: easily their toughest task of the year. Chief Self also
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: plays in that second tier of the Metro League. Their
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: lone loss on the year came to Lakeside of Seattle,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: not Lakeside nine mile Falls Lakeside of Seattle. That was
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: a thirteen to ten loss, And if I'm being completely honest,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: that's a pretty bad loss to a Lakeside team that
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: just not very good, and they lack numbers. They are
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: very very small number wise. But yeah, chief Self another
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: school that I feel like we've talked about him here
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: or there over the last couple of years.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so too, if I could prevail upon
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: you really quickly. Do you what week was that when
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: they had that loss? It was it earlier in the
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: year or later?
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: No, I think it was right in the middle of
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: the season. I mean, Okay.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: The reason I ask is because I saw them in
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: ten and week one and.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: This was October fourth, okay, so probably week four or five,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: probably five.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: So yeah, so I that's why. Yeah, that's why I'm curious,
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: because I kind of thought, you know, when you see
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: a team in week one, I mean, they're so different
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: later on, and so it's really hard for me to,
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: you know, to go, well, this is what I saw,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: this is what they're like. They played Bellingham in Week
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: one down at Memorial Stadium, right, you know, beneath the
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: shadow of the space needle there, and it was and
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: it was all Bellingham early. I mean Bellingham scored like
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: on the third play of the game, and then Chief
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Self didn't score until probably two minutes left in the
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: in the cool game and the in regulation and seven
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: to seven tied, go to overtime, and both teams had chances.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: I think Bellingham missed a field goal and then chief
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: Self missed a field goal, but there was a penalty,
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: so they got five yards up. They tried again and
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: then they win it. They kick it and they made it,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: so they win it ten to seven in a really
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: unique game where it was Joe Harward's first start at quarterback.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: You know, I think he ran for like one hundred
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: and twenty five yards, but but he was something crazy
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: like three for twenty two passing and he got sacked
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: a bunch of times, and it was just it was
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: just kind of a sloppy game where you could see
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: glimpses of chief Self but nothing really that stood out. Yeah,
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know. This is interesting because, like you said
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: about the tiers and stuff like that. Again, glad that
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: the seeding committee sees things like that and sees the
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: eight to one record in the six and three record,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: but knows that seems the better team plays the tougher schedule.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: I think of all the teams that are just going
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: to be jacked up for this, I can't imagine team
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: more than Seaholme. This is a team that's been playing
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: in a really tough conference for years and always seems
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: to be kind of that next team that you know.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, you look back at that Tommy Funk team.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Oh yeah, they were so good. They
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: were so good, and they could have made a little
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: bit of a run, but you know that he took
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: a few teams and boy, and and that was the
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: team that you know, I mean, they didn't get to
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: play against Sidro that year, and that's why they did.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: It worn't in the playoffs, and and so it was
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: you know, I think that they're like, this is you know,
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: and there was a lot of you know, guys that
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: are now seniors on that team that played on that team.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: You know, the Andre Watsons and that even the juniors,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: the Cole Terrell's and the and the Nolan Rights. They
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: were freshmen on that team that started and played a lot,
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: and they're on this team and they're like, this is
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: this is our window, right now to make something happen.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: We get to play at Civic Stadium, we get to
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: you know, this is this is it? So I think
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: they're really going to come out on fire. Uh, They're
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: gonna put on a big time show. I'm really curious of,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: you know how, guys, how the injury thing looks right
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: now where they sat out a handful of guys last
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: week and then there was a couple of guys that
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: got banged up on Thursday on Halloween Night against Archbishop Murphy.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: And so the nice thing about the Marria right now
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: is they got a lot of guys. They can do
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of things that are very very good at it.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: And I don't think that I don't think they have
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: to be at full strength to get this one, I
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: guess is what I'm saying. But boy, they're really gonna
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: come out firing here. You know, four PM game. You know,
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: you start out and it's light, you end when it's dark.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: There's something kind of fun about that. I don't know
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: how to explain it. It kind of gives me a
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: WrestleMania three vibe where it's all light and then by
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: the time Holk and Andre come out, it's all dark. It's
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: there's something kind of come kind of fun about that,
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: you know, the main event the fourth quarter, uh, putting
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: it on them, I think, I think it's going to
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: be just a cool feeling to be there, kind and
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: it's the first of a doubleheader and all that excitement,
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: and you know, for the marin or faithful, this is
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: something that they've been waiting for for a long time.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: And when we looked back at the round of thirty two,
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: just as a whole and it being approved and playing
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: this year, you know, my first thought process was I
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: hope one A gets more allotments than usual, and my
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: other my the next very next thing I thought was
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: this is great for Seahome. And I know that's kind
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: of projecting a little bit, but I just kind of
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: thought that that's the team that can really benefit. So
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: this is where they need to make their make their
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: hay right here.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Chief Self eight and one, Sea Home six and three,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: four pm Civic Stadium On Saturday, Ferndale, they are five
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: and four headed down I five to Federal Way. Who
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: is seven and two. That's say five pm game at
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Federal Way Memorial Stadium, which is actually at the at
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: the high school there. If you're in the area, I
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: suggest Vince's Pizzeria tyler O Vince's Special with black olives.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Sign me up. You get your choice. It's either black
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: olives or green peppers and the Vincent on the Vincent's
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Special you get one or the other. And man is
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: in a good pizza. That being said, Federal Away they
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: are seven and two overall, six and two in their league,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: which is the three A n PSLU.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: This is what those.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Interesting games for Ferndale because I feel like they're I mean,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: well they obviously are. They're playing their best football right now. Absolutely, yes, yeah,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: it's it's not a question. They're playing their best football.
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: And and this Federal Away team they always have a
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: lot of talent, a lot of speed. They're not typically
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: all that great in the trenches, which we obviously know
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Ferndale likes to be good in the trenches. Even if
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: this isn't maybe the best, you know team they've had
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: as far as upfront. But I think this is a
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: very very winnable game for Ferndale.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And if I if I'm thinking about all the
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: units for Ferndale that has improved the most, I would
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: say from from beginning to end, it's been their offensive line.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: U coach in the Valley just won the you know,
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: the Anytime Fitness Offensive Lineman of the Week award. Why
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: it's straight as a monster at guard. Chance Hatchet who's
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: playing left tackle or you know, quick side tackle for
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: the first time in his career. You know, Hadrath is
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: a three hundred and seventy five pound monster at the
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: strongside tackle. You know, they they are gelling at the
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: right time.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: It's nice.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: They're getting a lot of their pieces back, which has
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: been great. Zach Nielsen's back running the ball. Jacob Gandhi
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: did miss a game. He's back if they need him
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: running the ball. You like Kennerley and Elliott Lnson with
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: a ton of speed, and then of course you got
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: the big train talent bung guard and you get all
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: that stuff together and it all kind of gels really well.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you anything about Federal Way. I don't
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: know what colors they are, I don't know anything.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: I do know that they have an awesome girls wrestling
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: team constantly, really and and I believe I know the
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: head coach there. I used to work with him and
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: he was big into wrestling. And then last I heard
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: he was. He was the wrestling coach for the girls
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Federal Way, and so I'd always kind of keep track
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: of it on just because of him. No, well, who
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: is it, Travis Mango.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: No, that's not their head coach, I don't think.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, well he might be in a Yeah, I.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Think their head coach is Marcus ISZIGII. Okay, if it's not,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: then Marcus left after last season.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: But yeah, but I mean that program, it seems like
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: every year and they're just loaded.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Up and they always like it's it's weird because it's
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: a school you wouldn't think would be good at that. Yeah,
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of an inter city school. It's
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: it's I don't know, it's just very random that they're
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: good at that, you know what I mean, Like it
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't doesn't make a ton of sense at times, but
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: then you know, it's really more than anything. It's like
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: it's it's dedication and it's you know, not only from
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: the coaches, but also like if you get everybody else
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: to buy in, then you can be good at some
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: of those sports, you know.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's just pretty it's pretty crazy.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: And so that's kind of what I know. I couldn't
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: tell you anything else, but but Ferndale, you know, they
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: have to go on the road here and and again
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: it's one of those things where you got to prepare
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: for the wing tea. You don't have a lot of
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: time to do.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: And that's another one that I doubt they've seen it
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: all year. Sure they're probably seeing a lot of spread. Yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, I could look at their
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: schedule right now and probably tell you if they have
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, Auburn, Mountain View, No, Decatur, spin Away Lake,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: Eatum Claude, No, maybe Kent Meridian, maybe White River, you know,
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: maybe Todd Beemer. But I'll guarantee and nobody runs it
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: like Ferndale, you know, the like. Over their last one, two, three, four,
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: five weeks, they have played some awful and I mean
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: awful awful football teams, Tyler, and they've shut out four
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: of them. And it was fifty one nothing, fifteen nothing,
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: forty one nothing, sixty five nothing. I mean, they're just
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: they're not playing very good football teams here. And if
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: any of those teams run the wing tea, it is
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: absolutely positively not even as good as you know, Ferndale's JV.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: That's just the way that it is.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is going to be one of those
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: games where I mean, if if I was you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: if there was betting lines on this and and you know,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: somehow Federal Way was the favorite in this one. Oh,
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: I'm taking Ferndale all day, big money.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And a lot of times it just comes down
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: to matchup, you know, and different things like that, and
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: and yeah, it's uh, I think it did. Bernell got
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: a good draw, even though they have to go on
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: the road. I think this is definitely a winnable game
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: for them. I was saying, Travis Mango is the head coach.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: I was talking about the girls wrestling team. Did you
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: think I meant the boys wrestling team.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: No? I thought you were saying he was also the
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: head coach of the football team.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: No. I was talking about he's the head coach of
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: the girls wrestling team.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Oh I thought you were saying. I thought you said
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: he's also the head coach of the football team.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Oh. No, No, I said.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: All I know about Federal Way is I know the
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: head coach of the girls wrestling team. Oh oh oh,
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: And so I always follow them because they're really good.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Travis mango.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, but how do you know I used.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: To work with them at Landmark real Estate like twenty
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: years ago. And I know he was really, what's that?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: How does this happen? How do you randomly know these
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: people like all over the place? And then I say where? So,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing. If if you said, oh, I
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: worked with him at Lynden Door, I would have been like, oh, okay, great,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: yeah I've heard. I've never even heard of this other
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: place that you just mentioned.
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I used to turn over apartments sort of a
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: real estate company that like owned and rented out units,
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of them at Western like like dorms and
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: d yeah. Yeah, yeah, and then you know, someone moves out,
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: then we were hired to go in there and kind
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: of get it set up for whoever's whoever's gonna Yeah.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: So and sometimes there were houses and we had to
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: paint them, and we be up all night painting houses.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: And we got to become pretty good friends. And and
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: he was always really into wrestling and he wanted to
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: teach and and uh yeah, he started. He says he
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: started coaching wrestling at Federal Away in two thousand and
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: eight as the head coach for for boys and girls
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: and then when then he when they when the program
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: split in twenty sixteen, he was just the coach of
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: the of the girls wrestling team and and they're always
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: like you look up girls wrestling for Federal Way and
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: it's like they just whoop everybody.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's one of those ones again, like like
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: I said, like, you would not if if you're from
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: down here and you know that area, you would go
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Federal Way is good at girls wrestling, Like that is
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: very random because they're usually pretty good at basketball too, yeah,
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: you know, which makes a lot of sense. They have,
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: for some reason, a lot of really tall guys, you
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like a lot of really tall
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: athletic dudes. And then you go, oh, and by the way,
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: they're really good at girls wrestling, and it's like.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: What's that?
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come again, what was that?
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: And when I when I see that, I think the
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: same thing. And then I just say, well, that's cool
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: for him, because maybe it just took a really good
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: coach to direct the program the right way. So I'm
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: happy for him. I mean, we might be friends on Facebook.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, when we met with Facebook,
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: wasn't even a thing yet you know the last last
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: time I saw him, so who knows.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: But that's one of those sports though, Like if you
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: have a head coach that is super dedicated, yeah, you know,
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: wrestling is one of those sports. If if if your
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: head coach is just all nutso for wrestling, yep, you
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: can be so good at it because that that enthusiasm
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: for the sport rubs off on people.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: And it's the same with like I think tennis is
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: kind of similar, but wrestling is just so one on
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: one and if you really study it and you really
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: get down to it, it's not even about athleticism or
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: you know anything. It's about like knowing what you're doing.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, disciplaying and those kinds of things.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, And it's it's just it's like it's
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: like it's like logistics.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: It's like if this, then this, and you just got
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: to do it.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: So yeah, well I'll tell you this. I mean, Baker,
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: like in the seventies and eighties was a pretty strong program.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: Roland Halterman was the head coach. He's in the Hall
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: of Fame and and and once the nineties clicked, he
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: was kind of took a step back, he was going
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: to retire as an assistant. And in the early nineties
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: it was a little bit of a struggle, kind of
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: different coach every other year. Yeah, and then when coach
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: Lepp came in in ninety five, all of a sudden,
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: we're you know, we're fighting with Blaine. Who's the perennial
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: favorites every year? Yeah, right back and then and by
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: the late nineties, now Baker's winning. They win a state
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: title in two thousand and they've been they're just that's
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: one of their stable programs right now. And a lot
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: of has to do with coach Lep And you're absolutely
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: right about that.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wrestling is just I mean forever you know, Uh,
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Lake Stevens was was the best, yeah, right, you know,
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: and uh it was, oh, what's his name? His last
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: name is Barnes. I can't think of his first name
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: now is his son was Burke Barnes. But yeah, I
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: mean you look around the state and a lot of
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: times the the wrestling programs that have that have been
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: the best for a long time have guys that have
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: been there for like thirty years.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Yep, you know, and you just go.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Good Lord, like how many guys is this dude coached,
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, and then you start
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: rattling off some of the things and you're just like,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: good my god, Like it's just not even fair at times,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: you know, and uh, you know, especially in places like
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: like Deming where guys play multiple sports, you know, and
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: coach left coaches.
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: Multiple sports on the campus he sees yeah, you know,
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: and that's the dedication to it.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: And that's what makes I mean, to me, that's what
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: makes high school athletics so great. But yeah, anyway, Ferndale
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: five and four Federal Way, seven and two, five pm,
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Federal Way Memorial Stadium, by the way, brand new stadium
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: down there, and yeah, I mean the Ferndale people think
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: they got a nice one. There's gonna be a little
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: bit of a rival down there. I mean, that's it's
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: a nice new stadium down there a Federal Way. It
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: used to be one of the worst places to watch
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: a game. It was one of those places Tyler that
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: it would be. It was like a full metal stadium.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: So we're talking like metal bleachers, metal everything. Yeah, but
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: it was it was covered, but it would be like,
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: you know, you'd play like a well what time was
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: this one?
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: A five pm?
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: So you would get there at five pm and it
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: would be hot because the sun had been just aching
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: on the metal day right. But then by the time
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: the game was over, you'd be freezing because the water,
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: the wind comes off the water, and before you know it,
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: it is just unbelievably cold there. I mean, you couldn't
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: catch a break. It'd be it'd be really hot for
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: a five pm game on a Saturday, and so you'd
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: you'd you'd show up with no jacket and next you know,
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: you're just freezing.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Or you're walking into the stadium and it's really hot
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: out and you're carrying a big old jacket, you know
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: what I mean, people are going, what the heck is
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: that guy doing? Anyway, final game of the weekend Tyler Lakeside,
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Nine Mile Falls. They are three and five. They're coming
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: over to take on Knooksack Valley seven and two. That
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: is the seven pm game at Civic Stadium. As you
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, second game of a double header there at
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: Civic Stadium. Lakeside of Nine Mile Falls. They have already
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: come over once this year and they played Lynnen Christian.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: I believe it was right, yep. And yeah, I mean
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: this is a program that it almost feels like they're
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: in conference play at this time because we've been talking
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: about these guys a lot for the well base since COVID,
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: we've talked about this guy, these guys, I mean, at
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: least once a year, it seems like, Yeah.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: There's always a playoff matchup, There's always something. And this
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: is a rematch of last year's semi final game in
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: the one a one that boy, you know, you talk
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: to those you know, those players and the coaches that
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: were involved for KNU Exack Valley, and that's that's the one, right,
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: that's the one that got away. That's the one that
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: they should have won. And they've been thinking about that
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: ever since. You know, it's been eleven months that they've
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: been thinking about that. And now you're playing this team
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: again where both squads lost a lot of seniors from
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: that team, but Nixzack Valley kind of brought back some
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: more talent and it's evident in the records. And you know,
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: when I saw them earlier in the year, I did
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: seem in person. I was watching the game live on
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: the live stream, but it just didn't look like the
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: Eagle team I'm used to, you know, after kind of
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: getting used to them last couple of years, like you said, So,
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: you know, that's just that's what happens sometimes when it's
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: when you have a big time senior class and you think, well,
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: those youngsters are going against a really good team in
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: the state every day at practice, and sometimes it just
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: sometimes it just doesn't come together. And you know, they've
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: won some games this year and they've made it into this,
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: but I think they're going to be overmatched a little
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: bit by Nugzack Valley size, speed, kind of a little
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: bit of everything. They're gonna have to travel, all that
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: kind of stuff. Everything points in the favor of the
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: Pioneers right now. Nuksack Valley is the way they played
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: last week. I mean, you know, we talked about Golton
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: Lens with the five touchdowns, scoring every touchdown only the
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: second time. This is kind of hard to believe. Only
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: the second time in school history that a player scored
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: five rushing touchdowns in a game.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Wow time.
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: The other time was his dad. And the unique thing
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: about both games was it was the final regular season
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: game of their career. And there's so many similarities that
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: you could draw, and I think Britt would be the
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: first one to say, oh, Yeahlton's better than I ever was.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: And when you really start looking at even just the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: history of Knokxac Valley football, there's been a lot of
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: great singular players, with Tom Ackerman playing in the NFL,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: and Dave Longoria and you know, going back to you know,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: Lance Massey and and you know Casey Bauman, and I
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: mean there's just been so many great individual players. You
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: could say that Colton Lentz might be the best that
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: has ever had. And I know that he is on
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 4: a mission right now, and this is kind of where
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: it begins. And there's a there is a little bit
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: of that revenge factor in this one, and kind of
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: everything is kind of going that way right now for them.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: And I mean, you know they yeah, they got beat
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: up at tom Water, they've kind of fumbled the game
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: away at Monticeno. But first time being outright conference champions
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: for the you know, first time in sixteen years, it's
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot of good things right now
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: for the Purple Clauded Pioneers and and I think they're
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: gonna kind of kick this off the right way here
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: on Saturday.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: Night, yeah, and and Lakeside night Mountain Falls. I mean,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: they are coming a long ways. It's a it's a
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: six hour drive, and I would assume, I mean, I
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: would just assume that what they're doing is coming over
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: the day of probably playing the game, and then I
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: would think they're probably gonna stay the night.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's what That's what Lewiston did when
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: they came over to play us this year. Was they
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: left it like I want to say, they left it
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: like ten in the morning and then and it was
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: about a six hour drive. But then what they did
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: was played the game and then they went and stayed
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: in a hotel just right up the road from our
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: stadium and then left like ten am the next day
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: with an.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: L by the way.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: But so yeah, I mean I would think that's what
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: they're gonna do. I don't really know, but this is
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: a This is a Lakeside team that started the season
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: with a seven to six win over Pullman, a two
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: way school, and then after that they went on a
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: hard losing streak four straight to West Valley of Spokane bonners, Ferry,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: Lynnen Christian and Freeman. Before you know, getting on a
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: couple of getting a couple of wins league league wins
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: from Riverside in Medical Lake. But yeah, I mean this
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: is this is interesting because you know, Calville's five and four,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: it's the only team in their league with a winning record.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: Two teams get into this, into the round of thirty
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: two from that league, So I mean, I hate to
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: say by default, right, but yeah, I mean I think
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: I think you kind of hit it on the head
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: to Tyler, these are two very similar programs in a
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: way in that the last couple of years they've both
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: been very competitive, and they've both lost a lot of guys.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: The difference is nukzact value returns quite a bit of guys, yeah,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: you know, and some guys that have been varsity players.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of experience on this team. Yeah,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of experience, guys that have played a
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: lot of football games. So definitely going to be interesting.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's one of those games
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: for Lakeside. They have to be perfect, you know, I
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: just I just think they do. I mean, I'm not
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: saying Nuksack Valley can make a bunch of the mistakes,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: but I think they have a little bit more wiggle
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: room than Lakeside nine Mile Falls does.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I just got to protect the football, you know, Yeah,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: don't you know, don't overthink it. Just do your player game,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: do your thing, and you'll should be fine. I mean,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: you're right. I mean it's huge with the bus legs
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: and stuff like that. Get up, you have to get
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: on them early and don't you know, don't make mistakes
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: and you're but you're right. Football is kind of a
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: weird sport like that. But yeah, we'll see how it goes.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: Lakeside nine Mile Falls three and five, Knoksack Valley seven
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: and two, seven pm, Civic Stadium on Saturday. That's it
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: for the games for this weekend. Let's move on and
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: get a forecast from Randy Small Watkam County Weather, Wacom
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: COUNTYWX dot com is the website, Facebook dot com, backslash
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: Watcom County Weather or Randy Small. Ready to give us
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: the forecast here for the first playoff weekend of the season. Randy,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: take it away.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: This is Randy Small, Waukin County Weather, and we are
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: looking forward to kind of the play in round. Plus.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: I think some teams will be finishing up their regular season.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: We've got Thursday night games, Friday games, Friday night games,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: and Saturday games, so lots to consider here. Let's talk
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: first about the precipitation the rain. Here's how I see it.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Thursday night has the least chance of rain. I'd still
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: put it at about a thirty percent of Friday night
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: has a chance more than Thursday, but less than Saturday.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: So I would put Friday night at about a forty
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: to fifty percent chance. The system, if it comes in earlier,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: it would allow for rain to be falling in those
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: evening games Friday night, but at the most when I'm
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: recording this on Wednesday, the system is kind of supposed
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: to hold off until overnight Friday night into Saturday, so
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: it'll just depend on timing for that Friday night. Saturday
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: looks to be the best chance for rain, depending on
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: how you view it, but the highest chance for rain. Now,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: the question is how much rain will be raining the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: whole day. Again, it's a few days, like three or
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: four days before Saturday. Forecasting this, I would say there's
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: a good chance for rain most of the day Saturday,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: but there could be some breaks too. Wind Wise, there
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: could be some northeast light northeast wind on Friday. Saturday,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: might see some south wind near like Civic Field, so
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what I would see on the wind.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Temps will be not bad at all, actually, you know,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: normal for this time of the year, like upper forties,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: low fifties, but no real cold cold games coming here
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: because we got the clouds and we got precipitation. So
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: overall bag for weather coming this weekend for Thursday night,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Friday night, and Saturday. Either way, hope it all works
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: out for your favorite team and we'll see you next
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: week for the playoffs.
• 1:06:09

• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: other day that had like, you know, the the what
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: do you call it? The sunrise in the morning, and
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, my goodness, like the I don't know how
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: the guy does it, but he manages to get like,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: like did do you think he just has like like
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: a map where he's just got like dots all over
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: the places of places he can set up in the
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: morning to get a good shot.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: You know, he's been doing it so long. I think
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: he kind of has an idea. Yeah, he knows where
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: a good backdrop would be. He might know where some
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: good barns are, you know, just kind of all those
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: things combined and he knows where to go. And he's
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: got a great cameron, he's a talented guy, and all
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: you combine all that and it's like, yeah, that's pretty awesome.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty amazing what he does.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: Uh, Tyler, let's get into the pickums here, and we
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: have a guest picker this week, Tyler, maybe is this
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: quite possibly the youngest guest picker we've had?
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: I think so, you know, I was just gonna say
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: probably miss walking Preps, but she's not that young. Chief,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: don't get ahead, don't get ahead of yourself.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: She's probably not even listening, So don't worry about it.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: No, but yeah, I believe so. A. J.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: Bennett Walkam preps intern and current student at Blaine Tyler.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: How did how did this come up? About whoa? Whoa?
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: How did AJ become a contributor on watcom Preps?
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: Well, I've watched him in football and basketball and track
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: this year. He's not doing football. He's very possible going
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: to become the you know, the school record holder in
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: the long jump. Amazing long jumper close to twenty one
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: or twenty two feet I think it's like twenty one
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: eleven right now? Is this is his pr Holy crap? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: exactly jump it's either that or twenty feet eleven inches,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: and he's close to twenty one feet. But yeah, I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: mean once you get over twenty feet it's pretty crazy.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, even over like ten feet is honestly kind
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: of ridiculous, like you know what.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: I mean a broad jump, but still you know, no,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: I all, but.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: Still, like dude, if I took off runner right now,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: I think I could get about six to four.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: I told him that he because he's like, you know,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: we were going to have a competition, like see if
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: he can get twice as far as I can. And
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I go, my biggest thing, I just want
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: to land in the pit.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: That's my big How far is it from the uh?
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: From the from the from the board long jump dimensions,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: I want.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: To say, it's like eight feet, So I think you
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: have to jump at least eight feet just to land.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: In the pit. Is it really eight feet?
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: I think so?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: I think that's here it would be it says at
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: length one point to two. No, that's not what I'm
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: looking for. Well, keep you talking, or maybe you can
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: go through and tell everybody what the who's picking who
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: and I'll figure out the rest.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: Well so AJ he came up to me during the
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: week one when Blaine was hosting renting and he was

• 1:09:40
  Speaker 4: can help me out. I go. I can't pay anything,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: but you can definitely be a contributor and stuff like that.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: And he was like, oh, really, I was like, yeah,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: and so I got him a badge. And he's been
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: so dedicated going out to volleyball games, soccer games, football games,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: taking pictures. He even went out and bought a new camera.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: His pictures are better every single time I see him.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: He's getting he's getting a lot better at just taking
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: the pictures. He's sending me scores, he's doing everything. So
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: just a super nice kid senior out at Blaine High School.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: And uh, and I tell you, what if if if
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: you're a student that's listening to this and you want
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: to help out some way, and you want to learn
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: how to take pictures, you want to you know, maybe
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: you love a certain sport and you want to help
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: out and you want to cover that sport, maybe even
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: write articles. Hey, I would love the help. So you know,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: if you want to reach out again, just find me
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: on social media and do that. And he just, I
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: mean him and I know each other from me covering
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: him in the long jumping stuff and and uh, he
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: just came up and asked if he could do it,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: and I said absolutely. All of a sudden, he's got
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: a badge. He's getting into games and taking pictures and
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: enjoying it so uh so, so far for our picks,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: we are all picking Meridian, Squalicum, Linden, Linden, Christian Sea Home,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: and Nooksack Valley. So there's a lot of chalk there
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: as far as kind of how we're all thinking the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: same way. Only Mikayla is picking against Ferndale so she's
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: got Federal Way. Only Jeff is picking Bellingham over Blaine,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: and only AJ is picking against Mount Baker. Now my
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: thought process there is he he's a basketball guy and
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: so he thinks Zilla and he goes, oh, boy Zilla,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: you're pretty awesome. So we'll see you there. But yeah,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: we're all kind of go the same way.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: If AJ sticks around working for walking, perhaps you can't
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 3: send them to Deming. I mean, my goodness, not allowed,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: not allowed at the log show, Tyler, let me tell
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: you right, Yeah, Tyler, I'm trying to figure this out.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: It looks like it says it's one meter, so well.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: There's there's different boards.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: I know, well, and that's what I'm looking at. Yeah,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: well that's what I'm looking at. It says I don't know, Tyler.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: Because there's like because they show him on the triple
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: jump too, and when it's the triple jump, it's the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: last board is probably a meter.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: The triple jump isn't the last jump from further away?
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: I don't think so, because you know you're you jump it. Well,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure, but I just know that
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: I remember seeing it going, looking where they're jumping from, yeah,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: and just thinking I don't even know if I can
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: get it into the pit. And I think I thought that's.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: What I thought too.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: So it says it says one meter to three meters.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: Three meters was a little long. That's nine three meters
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: is nine feet, yeah, I mean it's actually nine and
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: a half feet.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: I mean when you look at you know, everybody, every
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: high school long jumper, they're jumping, you know, at least
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: thirteen fourteen feet, yeah, every single one.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: So no, it says here it says the long the
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: long jump take off board length one point to two meters.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: The triple jump length is further it's.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: Well, because you like the first board.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I don't know, because because you gotta you're
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: not gonna lie, Tyler. I just yeah, I mean I
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: agree with you. I don't even know that we'd get
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: to the sand.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my biggest fear.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the only way I'm getting of the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: sand from a jump is off of off of like
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: a lifeguard chair. Yeah, that might be the only the
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: only way I get there.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: Big sub sandwich right there in the sand. Yeah, you
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: make it.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, that is the pick'ems. We now got
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: to go to fantasy Tyler. And yeah, I'm on a
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: three game winning streak, flying high five and four on
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: the season. Now for myself, Tyler, that means you are
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: four and five. So yeah, that means also that you
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: get first pick because I've won the last three so well,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: I just won last week. That's all that really matters
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: for you to get first pick. But and I won
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: big too. I don't I don't remember o off the
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: top of my head, but it was it was another
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: big one. I feel like the last three weeks, Tyler,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: I've really kicked your butt.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: I think so too. And it's weird because I will
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: always think, oh, there's like one person that just goes off.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I think I have a chance this week,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: and then I'm like, oh no, I don't.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it just has one point nine to one
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: thirty seven point two is what it was.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: Last week.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, forty three or so points.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, not.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: Good, No, not good. That being said, Tyler, you get
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: first pick.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I need to win this yere because who
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: knows how you know, far, how far we'll be able
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: to play this in the playoffs. So I got to
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: take advantage here and even it up before we get there.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Speaking this could be our last week.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: It could be absolutely, could be likely that won't, but
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: it could be. So it is. Yeah, No, I would
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: need to. I need to, you know, break the tie here,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: get up to at least get to a tie. So
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Andre Watson. He is the Jerry
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: Rice of Walkham County High school football history. He just
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: he just keeps on putting up these crazy numbers, and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: I don't see him slowing down anytime. I think he
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: wants to reach two hundred, you know, receptions, three thousand
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: receiving yards. He is just he's putting his names so
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: far out there, it's gonna be so hard to catch.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: And I know the offenses are gonna start getting you know,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 4: car start picking up and spread and everyone's gonna start throwing.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: But it's been a magical career for him and I
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: think he'll put up big numbers once again. So I'm
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: gonna go Andre Watson wide receiver.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: See them now, you know, you and I talked about it,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: and I think it was off the air, but we
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: almost needed to get the old Schlenbaker music out there, yo. Thing,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: yeah you know going on there because Watson and Colton Lentz, yeah,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: both the boards. Yeah, they should have been getting the
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: old treatment there with the pickaxe, you know, and we
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: didn't do it, even though I have it ready to go.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: We didn't do it.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: Well, Tyler, I'm gonna I'm gonna play the smart game
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: here and I am going to try to cancel you
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: out with Nolan Wright is what I'm gonna do. Hopefully
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: I can get some rushing yards and maybe a couple
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: of rushing touchdowns or something out of them too. So
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: I'll take Nolan right at quarterback and then I am
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: gonna go with the big man, Colton Lentz at running back.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: I feel good about that when against the Lakeside nine
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: mile fault.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: Well, the big thing about those two is that you
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: got the you know, the leading touchdown passer and the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 4: leading touchdown scorer, you know, and that's how you get
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: the fancy points is getting the ball in the end zone. Yeah,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: the yards help, but getting the ball in zone is
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: the big thing. And and you know, I think I
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: think you know, Wright is thrown for twenty four this
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 4: year and Lents has ran for twenty seven or something
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: crazy like that. Watson has caught seventeen touchdown passes this year,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: and I think the Walking Country record for a season
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: is twenty by Bryce Vanden Hawk. And they played all
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: the way into the state championship game at game against
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: Royal with Simon Burkette and stuff. So uh so that's
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: you know, he got a lot of more games to
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: do it. But Watson's on is quickly on his tail.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: I am going to go I'm going to kind of
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: counter your Colton Lentz a little bit. I'm gonna go
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: Knooksack Valley offensive line. I just think this is they are,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: this is what they've been ready for all year. This
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: this is this game is a must win game obviously,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: and and they've been really been pushing some guys around recently,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 4: and I think this will be a big one for them.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: I'm also gonna go with our buddy mister Whitman and
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Lyndon defense. There was a there was
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: a stretch there where it was kind of harry during
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: the season, but recently just giving up the one score
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: to Lakewood, giving up just the one score to Burlington
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: that was a little late in the game as well.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: I think that I would not be surprised if they
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: if they shut old our buddy Old Nate down at
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: Ferndo High School.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so let's see here. I'm gonna go. You know
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna pull a
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: move that I've done quite a few times and it
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: seems to pay off when I do. And I'm gonna
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: take Colton Lentz in the back seven.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: And then I'm gonna take I believe the county's leading tackler,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: Trey Bosman in the front seven.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: I mean those are two studs right there. I mean,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: Colton Lentz. It seems like every time Lentz goes off offensively,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: he has a huge game defensively, I mean every single time.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it seems like I usually have him in both.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or at least one or the other. But now
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: because he didn't have him last week, you were able
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: to have him in both and what a time to
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 4: do it. And Trey Bosman, I mean, you know what's
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: weird is that even playing banged up and last week,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: I don't even know, you think he got a tackle
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: until the second quarter, and I was like doing the
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: stats and thinking like, oh man, he's kinda they've been
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: kind of taking him out of the game, or they've
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: been getting on him, or block the other block's been
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: staying on him, And all of a sudden, he ends
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: the game with like the second most tackles and a
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: tackle for loss. Again, It's like, my goodness. Yeah, he
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 4: just always puts up numbers, you know, regardless of who's
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: playing us. I'm gonna go running back and I'm gonna
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: go telling bung guard. He scored ten touchdowns the last
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: two weeks, not all offensive. He's scored one defensive one,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: but ten touchdowns in the last two weeks is pretty
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: pretty impressive. I think he just went over three thousand
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: career rushing yards. You know, he's the guy that runs
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: on a mission and they're gonna feed him, So I
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: like my chances there, and then I'm gonna go Malachi
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: Caine in at kicker on the turf, you know. His
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: freshman year, I don't I think he may have kicked
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: one field goal, and this year he's you know, he
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: had three in that one game, and now I think
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: he's got like five on the year or something like that.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: So they're really starting to to use him in the
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: field goal game a little bit more.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to have to resort
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: to a field goal in this one, but I could
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 4: see him kicking you know, six or seven extra points
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: in this one, and hey, that's enough for me. So
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Malachi Cane and kicker for Linden.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go o line and I'm
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: gonna go defense. See home, I'm gonna I'm gonna kind
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: of really cancel you out if I can't. I'm here
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: almost in a way. But hopefully Nolan right gets something
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: going here. And then obviously Seaholmes defense, I feel pretty
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: good about them against Chief self.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's a those are great picks obviously.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: I mean Seealm's offense has really been have been on
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: fire since really like Week three or so. I mean,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's it kind of clicked and then I've
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 4: just been on ever since. And Sealm's defense, they were
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: missing a lot of starters last week, and we'll see
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: who they bring back, and Chief self will not know
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: what hit him, that's for sure. I'm gonna go quarterback
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: and I'm gonna take I'm not gonna look at these,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: uh these playing games. I'm gonna go straight to jager Fife.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: I think, knowing that this is his final game, I
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: think that he's he's one of those guys is just
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 4: a competitor and he's gonna go all out and he's
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna, you know, I think they're gonna kind
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: of give the keys to him in this final game
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: and say, hey, air it out, man, you deserve it.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm just curious to see what kind of numbers
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: he can put up. So, uh, he's a kid I
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: root for as well, So I'm going to go with
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: him at quarterback, and then I'm gonna go front seven
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: and I'm gonna go Blake Kresky kind of the same deal.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 4: You know, last you know, it's your last game. The
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 4: tricky thing here is that Bellingham likes to throw, but
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 4: they like to do it quick and it's that kind
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: of negates the guys coming off the edge there. You're
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 4: not gonna see a lot of boots and roll outs
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: and play action and stuff like that. It's gonna be
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: a lot to get the ball and throw it. But
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: he's so quick and he can you know, he can
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 4: jump up and tip passes. He can do so many
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: different things. He can stop guys in the run game,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 4: and they like to do like that kind of that
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 4: fly sweep pass and h boy, you're coming around the
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 4: edge and if you see thirty five there, lookout, so
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: he can make he can make some plays there as well.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: So that's who I'm gonna go with in the front seven.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: I've got wide receiver and kicker left, and I'm going
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: to take two guys that I don't know if I've
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: picked him at all this year. Maybe the kicker, but
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: I'm almost positive I have not taken Anson Osby Ornson
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: at all at receiver, So I'm gonna take him, and
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: then I'm gonna go Blaine as well, just like you
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: did with Kureski, and I'm going to take Logan Villa
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: realite kicker.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: I just think I think they're.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: Gonna put up some points and it's an opportunity for
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: me to to get some maybe some easy numbers here
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: out of the kicking position.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a good I think that's a
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: good call. I mean, he's been very, very good this year,
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: first year as a kicker, made that that tough extra
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 4: point into the wind on Monday night that was needed,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: and so yeah, he's a you know, he can do
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: some damage there. And also if he if it's a
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 4: bad snap, he could run in for two, which he
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: did twice in the same game, and you would get
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: those points.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I totally forgot about that.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 4: Because, yeah, because he's a he's an athlete back, come on. Yeah,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: And anton Osbiornson has just been a guy that, you know,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: we saw glimpses last year on some big plays. He
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: plays with a little chip on his shoulder, a little
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: attitude out there, which is fine if you can corral
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: it the right way. And this year he's had a
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: great connection with Cole Burke and they've they've you know,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: they've really hooked up on some big, big plays. I
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: mean you look at the you know, you look at
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: the Ortizes and the Nixon's and the and Lockey's on
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: that team that he's it, Anson's been the one that's
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: had the most catches, the most yards, and the most touchdowns.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: So he's really stood out in that receiving corp, which
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: is saying a lot. The only position I have left
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: to pick is the back seven, and I'm going to
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: do my best Ryland Spencer impersonation and double dip a
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 4: little bit, and I'm going to take Andre Watson in
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: the back seven. He hasn't put up huge numbers, like
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 4: he'll get a couple of tackles here and there game,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 4: but he's had thirteen interceptions in his career, and I
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: think when the moment is higher, like the stakes are higher,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: I should say he stands out. He can perform I'm
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 4: expecting an interception or so he might bring one back
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: to the house. He's also a guy that likes to
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 4: punch the football out. I think he's forced four fumbles
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: in his career. I think he's recovered a handful of him.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 4: So he's kind of that playmaking kind of player back there.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 4: And you know, I really like my chances there. I
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: really think that you know, if chief self does their
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 4: you know, you said you really like their coaching staff,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 4: which is awesome, and they're the head coach and if
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: if they do their scouting, they'll not to stay away
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: from him. But boy, it's it. You know, he can
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: lurk around and he can make some plays, and so
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: that's what I'm hoping for here.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: All right, let's take a quick look at the teams, Tyler,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: You've got on offense, Jagger Fife, Talon Bung, guard Andre Watson,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: and Nooksack Valley's offensive line. On defense, you've got Linden
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Blake Kureski, Andre Watson and a kicker. You've got Malachi
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: Canaan on my side No. One right, Colton Lentz Andson
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: Osby Ornsen and Seaholmes offensive line for the offensive side
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: for me on defense, Seaholmes defense, Trey Bosman, Colton Lentz
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: and then a kicker Logan Villa Reale. So Tyler, yeah,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: I mean this is also maybe to the point where
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: we start to start playing with the fantasy a little bit,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: if you know, not enough teams move on where we go?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: All right, it doesn't matter who you picked last week.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: You know, you can pick whoever you want to gain,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: because remember there was one point where we were like, well, shoot,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: We're just gonna go back and forth with our quarterbacks
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: at this point because there's only two teams left, you know,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, anyway, I think that's it.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: We're done.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. And this is a week, Like
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 4: I said, I have to get this because if you
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: win this Europe, you go up by two. Yeah, and
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 4: that's going into the state playoffs up by two. Yeah,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 4: it's really tough to come by. I have to have
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of teams advanced for a while, so this
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: is almost like a must win for me here.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you start playing taps, Tyler, be a game over
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: for you, and I believe that would be three years
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 3: in a row.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, probably. Yeah.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know that I've ever lost the season, have
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: I I don't know.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: Here, I have I get stronger as the season goes,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: once I start figuring out who these guys are, start
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: figuring out some of these matchups. All of a sudden,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: it's like, Tyler, you're sitting there sweating, yeaha waking up
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday morning going oh great, I gotta pick Fantasy today.
