• 1:09
  Speaker 1: podcast is dedicated to the week that was in Walkham County,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but football is not included. If you want to hear
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: about what happened over the weekend with football, that podcast
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: will come out tomorrow morning.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Hopefully. I'm a little behind with.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Everything a day late and a dollar short, and I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: apologize for that. It's been a crazy weekend. I am
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: starting to little bit kind of get on track now
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that there's not regular games during the week So I'm
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: getting there. But uh, let's dive into this and speaking
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a dive, let's talk about girls swimming and diving. As
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the state championships were held over the weekend, and you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: swimmers from Seahome and Squalkum and Bellingham and Blaine were
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: at this and it's the one an two way they're
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they're combined. Not enough one A school swims, so so
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it's a combined championship. Bainbridge Island takes on the championship.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: They they it's I feel like since I've been covering
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: this last you know, three or four years, it seems
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like Paperage Island always wins the state championship and you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: look at it and you go, okay, Island swimming. That
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: kind of makes sense. So anyways, they finished with four
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: hundred and eleven and a half points. Second place was
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: North Kitsap with two hundred and ten, so over two
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hundred points ahead of this next place team, which tells
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you something, right there a lot of great swimmers out
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of Bainbridge Island. Like I said, North Kidsap second, Columbia
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: River third, Pullman fourth, Stillicum fifth, Ellensburg sixth, Nathan Hale seventh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and I love this. Seahome and Anacordus tied for eight.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And this is this is so funny because they were
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the top two teams in the Northwest Conference and when
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: they faced each other in the regular season it was
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a it was decided by one point, and then they
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: go to this, you know, they both have swimmers in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this in the state champapionships and they finished tied. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that shows you how even the top two teams from
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: up here are Sea Home and Manichordus each with one
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: hundred points, and Clarkston in tenth place for sixty eight
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and a half points. Let's go through some events and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: talk about the swimmers that gained points for their team.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: In diving, Jazzy Nelson of Squalkum took fourth place at
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: state with a score of two hundred and seventeen point
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: one five. Haley Ferrell of Blaine took sixth place, Carmatei
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Beatty of Bellingham took eighth place, and Ipa Taminga of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Seahome took ninth place. So four divers in the top nine.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Pretty pretty awesome. And I've said it over and over again.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, that's that would be the event I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: would love to do. And you know back in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: day when I would go and you know, you used
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to go and pay like three bucks to go swimming
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: at Arnie Hannah for however long, a couple hours or
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: something like that, and I would just jump off a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: diving board over and over again.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I loved it. I left going down the slide too,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but yeah, it's.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Just so much fun. And I've seen them in person.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I've seen a few of these. I've seen Ipa Taminga
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: dive in person and it said incredible what they can do.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to try in those things anytime soon,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but it is it's really cool to see in person,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: just to see the spins and the flips and the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: ability to hit the water without much splash, so much
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: practice and concentration, and.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's it's really really cool.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: In the two hundred yard medley relay, the Sea Home

  Speaker 1: second place, Lauren Gongmer of Seahome took fifth place, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Abigail Small of Linden took seventh place. Those same three
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: swimmers finished in pretty close the same placings in the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: fifty yard backstroke adaptive. Sarah Corollo of Seahom took second place,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Abbigail Small of Linden took fourth, and Lauren Gongmer of.

  Speaker 1: Seahome took thirteenth place, and the one hundred yard freestyle
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Jasmin Garcia Bellingham took twelfth place. In the two hundred
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: yard freestyle relay, it was the Seahome team of Raja Gawrey,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Blossombrog and Brielle Hicks and Elsa Ethelba that took sixth place.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: In the one hundred yard stroke, Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: took sixth and so Lal Roubido of Squalacum took tenth man.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: When you watch the breaststroke is incredible.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: This the how strong you gotta be in your shoulders
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and stuff, because the way like they just pop up
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and then go back down and pop up and go
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: back down, and in one hundred yards, I mean, I
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: can't imagine how many times you have to do that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: at the last you know, last fifteen twenty yards. You
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: gotta be so tired. It's really impressive to see what
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they do. And the four hundred yard freestyle relay, the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Sea Home team of Sage Maiden Blossombrog and Taylor Tellipson
• 6:34

  Speaker 1: is your state champion once again in the five hundred
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: yard freestyle with a time of five minutes twenty point
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: eight seconds. That's faster than her state championship time last year.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Very very impressive for the senior out of Blaine.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It's just so cool because Blaine doesn't even have a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: swim team, so she swims with Squalicum, I believe.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So it's it's just really really cool and uh, multiple
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: state championships for her, So congratulations to her into all
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: these swimmers and now it's you know, it's gonna be
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: onto boys swimming here in the few weeks and that

• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of things published about your kids once they
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: get to high school if they continue on with soccer.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Getting on with North County Alliance FC is a good
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: way to get started. Let's look at the playoff brackets. Unfortunately,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: as of you know right now, I mean, there are
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: teams still out there that are available, none of them
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: are from Walkham County.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start by looking at the one A state playoffs.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Blaine making the tournament for the first time in over
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: twenty years. Of course, they get the sixteen seeds so
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that the face the top ranked Cedar Park Cedar Park
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Christian Eagles, and.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: It did not go well a nine to one game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: There Caitlin Ritter von Trautman with the lone goal for
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Blaine on a free kick from about forty yards out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I was told that it was the only shot on
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: goal all game. I mean, that's how good Cedar Park
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Christian is who have Then they beat They'll View Christian
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: six nils. They're onto the semi finals where the top
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: four teams are ready to go there for this upcoming weekend.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: In the state championships. In one A, Lennon Christian took
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: care of business in the first round with an eight
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: nil win over Cascade Levenworth. That was on Veterans Day
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day. I was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: out there for that. Blame Linden Christian scored hand I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: think it scored four goals in the first.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: You know, nine minutes something like that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It was it was get out early and then and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: then do your job after that, and they did it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to a t.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: They went eight nil.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Next game they play against the Bear Creek School down
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in Monroe High School and they lose that one one nil.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: They're out for the year, but finish in the top
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: eight in the state. Pretty impressive for the Lennen Christian links.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: There's some good young There was great seniors obviously with
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Kaylie Yun and Estella Seagull and numerous others, but there's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: some good young talent on that team as well, so
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: they should be back now. I would imagine they're going
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to get back to the state tournament next year. And yeah,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: coach Salvavar's got them going in the right direction, so
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that'll be good for them. Both teams though a bow
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: out in the state tournament before getting to the semi finals.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: We look at the two A state tournament, the one
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: team from Wakam County. It was going in this Seahome.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: They defeated Ellensburg five to one out at Civic Stadium.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: That was on Wednesday night. I was out there for
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit of that. It was, you know, it
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: was scoreless.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: For the first boy, I don't know, fifteen to twenty
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: minutes or something like that, and then see them just
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: kind of ripped off some goals after that and did
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: their thing. Allowed a goal late from the Bulldogs and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: they move on to the next round where they hosted Hawkinson,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the sixth seed, who squeaked out one zero win over
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Port Angeles. But they came into town and defeated Seahome
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: one mil and that was a heartbreaker. I was watching
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that on my phone while it was at the volleyball
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: State tournament, and I just I couldn't believe it. The
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Sea Homes first loss of the year and it comes
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in the quarterfinals of the state tournament. They are done
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: now for the year. I'm sure they are shocked. It
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: just did not go the way of the Mariners. And
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that's just sometimes the way that it happens. The final
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: four teams and a Cordus did make it to the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: state semi finals. They'll be taken on number one ranked
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Columbia River that will be on Friday in the semi
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: finals for a chance to play for the state championship.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: So good luck to the Seahawks and that one. But
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: no teams left from Walking County to root for here.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: If you look at the goal leaders, the season is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: over for Walking County and if we take a look
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: at it, we have won two three four players with
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: eleven goals on the year. Kate Kureski of Blaine, Kira
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Reeves of Seahome, Taking Ambrose of Ferndale, and Mea Collins
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of Ferndale all finished with eleven.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Goals on the year.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Kylie Ifstovic of Seahome finished with twelve goals on the year.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Nayla Spear of Lyndy Christian with fifteen we have a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: trio that tied for second place for eighteen goals on
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the season. Sophomore Addie Wilson of Squalkum, senior Kayla Ewn
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: of Lennon Christian, and sophomore Kaylin Hinton of Lyndon Christian
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: all finished with eighteen goals. And of course your goal
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: leader at the end of the year was Seahome senior
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Ryan Babe. No surprise, there twenty six goals on the year. Boy,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: she creates havoc when she has when she gets the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: ball and you yet, I can hear it from the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: stands because I'm usually in that corner. It's a good
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: kind of where she plays and where she gets a
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: lot of the action, and it's usually like between there
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and the stands, and I can hear the visitors being like.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Don't let her get the ball. You got you gotta
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: be physical, you gotta do And it's so funny because
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: she can do so many things.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: She of course will be off to the University of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Washington to play soccer. But congratulates to her and everybody else.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of goals being scored this year. I'm so
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: glad I was able to track them all, hopefully.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Down the line.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I will be able to track assists, saves, all sorts
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of things. It's just about you know what I'm able
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to get from coaches and players and information. A lot
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: of coaches did send me assists and stuff like that,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: but if not, if I don't get that from every school,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: then it's hard to post for everything because I'm not
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: being fair to every school.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So hopefully going forward, I'll.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Be able to do that, But right now it's just
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: goals and Ryan Bam of Seahome finishes the season with
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: twenty six, which leads walk them counting. I'm sure the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: all conference teams will be coming out very soon. Of course,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: once I see that, I will be posting that. So
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: good luck to everybody and making that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Also, we have one last North County Alliance Player of
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the Week award to give out this past week.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm giving it to Lyndon Christians sophomore Kylin Hinton. She
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: scored four goals in that state opening round game. She
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: scored two in the first boy, I don't know, three
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: or four minutes. That really set the tone get the going.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: She's going to be a threat going forward, just as sophomore.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to Lennon Christian sophomore Kaylin Hinton on being
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: named the North County Alliance FC Girls Soccer Player of
• 14:11

• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about here, of course, the daily recaps,
• 14:20

  Speaker 2: So let's look at these brackets.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start off with a three, a district
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: one tournament, and because you know a lot of it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: getting lost with all the state tournaments going on, the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: three as kind of a week behind, so Ferndale kind
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: of had a week off before they started playing their
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: district tournament.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: They played well enough.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: To get the two seeds, so they got to kind
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of skip that playing around where they hosted a game
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in the first round, and that was against Mount Vernon
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: who It was crazy because Mount Vernon kind of gave
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: them trouble in the regular season.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I think up to that point, it was about halfway
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: through the season, Ferndale was undefeated.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, they hadn't they hadn't lost a set yet
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in conference play until they went down to Mount Vernon
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and they squeaked out. I think they won in five sets.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was crazy. And when games
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: are in Mount Vernon, it's it's a it's a love
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: hate thing for me because I love the gym. It's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: my favorite gym I've ever been to, hands down. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I get so many nostalgic feelings when I go into
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that gym. But the hate part is they don't have cameras,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so there's no NFS, there's no there's no way.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: To watch the game. So I was not really knowing
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: what was going on.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I was relying on parents and whoever might be there
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to kind of give me updates of what was going on.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: So uh, but this one, this one was at Ferndale,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: This district game was at Ferndale. I was out there
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: for it and it was kind of the same deal.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It was boy Ferndale, you know, and they they they
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: had their hands full with the Bulldogs once again, who
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: were the ten seed, and they knocked out Shorewood in
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that opening playing round, and they came to town. They
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: gave the Golden Eagles everything they can handle, but Ferndale
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: pulls it out at the end in five sets wins
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: three to two, which meant they moved on to Stanwood
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: High School and the semi finals to take on sixth
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: seeded Everett.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And boy, Everett had a girl that was so good.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I was watching this one online because this would have
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: been Thursday night, so I was already down in Yakama and.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I was watching this one online and it was a
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: late one. I mean it went forever.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I think it started a little bit late and it
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: went five sets, and that was a heartbreaker because Ferndale
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: had that one.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: They were so close so many times.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: There were some questionable calls, and I never want to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: get on officials, but there were some things that even
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I saw and I don't see hardly anything usually, and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I and I remember, I saw it and I looked
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: right over to Ferndale's coach and she threw a clipboord
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: on the crowd. I was like, yeah, she saw the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: same thing I saw so but but Everett won it
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: three to two and then they went on to win
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the win the district championship. They were the sixth seed,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: so it tells you that the Seagulls are a pretty
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: good team. They got to state for the first time
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: in fifteen years, so congratulations to them on that. Ferndale's
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: still alive though.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: They ended up.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Playing on Saturday against Nahomish at noon.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That was another one.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I was watching online while it was in Yakima, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they lost the first one like twenty five to eleven,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and I was like.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Oh man, this is uh, this is not what I
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: expected for the Golden Eagles.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: But they came back won two tight sets and then
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: they they they dominated that that the third one that
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: they won the fourth set overall, so congratulations to the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Golden Eagles.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: They're going back.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: To the state tournament and uh, it's gonna be a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: tough one though, I mean, they got they got a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: really tough draw because much like last year, they have
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to go there and play an eight.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Am game eight am and if they lose, they're done.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: So a couple of things there.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's an early morning and so you
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: just got to get that. He's got to, you know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: shake it all out and get ready, and and and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and just play. And you're playing against Roosevelt. Now if
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you beat them, great yours you get to Now you're
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: getting into double elimination.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: If you beat them, if you lose, you're done. You
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: go all that way. And that's kind of what happened
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: last year, I think it was against Bellevue.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: And this year, but if they win, then they played
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: North Thurston, who's the number one ranked team in the state.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But at least you're in double elimination at that point.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm really hoping for a Golden Eagle win on
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: on on Friday morning at eight o'clock at the state tournament. Ferndale,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of course, so I'm you know, as you're listening to this,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: three A is this is only you know, the only
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: uh they're they're they're still playing. They're the Ferndale is
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the only team in Walkee County that's still playing two A,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: one A. They're tournaments for state took place over the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: weekend and they are done. And we're gonna talk about
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that in just a second. But good luck to the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Golden Eagles. It's a fun team to watch because you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: have this I don't know, you have these big time
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: leaders you know this, you know, senior Katrina Ferry and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: junior Brooklyn Therapy, and then you have like this influx
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of this new talent, you know, Adele Overson and Spetlana
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Baidak and and doing their I mean, it's it's it's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: a it's a fun mix to watch. And they don't
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: make a lot of mistakes. They just kind of stay
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in there all the time, and.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: They serve really well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They played great defense, especially in the backcourt, and it's, uh,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: they're really really fun to watch. And I've said it
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: in prior podcast. They're they're doing better.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Than I thought they would.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I thought they'd be above five hundred, but nothing special,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but they ended up playing really, really well. They got
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: back to this state tournament. We're gonna hope for some
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: wins here and so they can keep their season alive.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Let us go to the one A state tournament bracket.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And this was awesome. I mean, I love going down
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to State. It's so much fun. This was my third
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: time going down there, and I knew this was going
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to be the busiest covering four teams, four teams that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I thought I had a good shot to playing deep
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: into Saturday, and boy was I.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Not wrong, because that is exactly what happened.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of games to cover basically both days Friday
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and Saturday. It was you know, there was a game
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that started at nine am and then games didn't get
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: done until eleven both nights. So I think the first
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: night I was actually like eleven fifteen. I think Saturday night,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I think I got out.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Of there right around eleven. So it was really intense,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: kind of chaotic, but so much fun.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is it's just and I'm
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: just the luckiest guy in the world. I love doing
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: this and it's so much fun. We start off with Meridian.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: They played that early nine am game on Friday morning
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: against Annie Wright, you know, and did did great, took
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: care of business twenty five eighteen twenty five to fifteen
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: twenty five fourteen, looked really good, and moved on to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the next round. Lyndon Christian took on Seat and Catholic
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and they also did the same thing three nothing sweep,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: So I was thinking, Okay, this is great. Later on
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that day, Meridian's gonna face Cedar Park Christian.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Who I've seen. You know, I saw them last year.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: They came up to Else, played against Elsie, played against
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Ferndale and they were awesome.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Cedar Park Christian.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Is very, very, very good. So I was kind of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a little worried about this one from Meridian, but they
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: took the first set twenty five to twenty three, and
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I thought, wow, okay, they might have a shot here.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And it just kind of went back and forth. Cedar
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Park took the next one, Meridian took the third seedar
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Park took the fourth, and then when Meridian won that
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: fifth set, Gracie Papp did some amazing things. I think
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: she scored the last five points on either blocks or
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: kills and they won fifteen to eight in that fifth
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: set to move on to the semi finals. And that
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: was just fantastic to knock off the number two seed.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Was great.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: During that time, another match going on was Linar Christian
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: against Kashmir, and Kashmir you know, they were the fifth seed,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: but boy, they didn't They looked better than that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: They looked awesome. It was.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It was pretty strong and it went back and forth.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, Linda Christian may have played it's hard to say.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: They may have played their best match all year in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: this one. Even though they lost in five sets, there
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: was moments where they could have won.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: And Kashmir, I mean Kashmir was the only team in
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: this tournament that took a set from Shellanne, the six
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: time champions, and they took two sets from him. So
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: that tells you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: How good Kashmir is. And for Lennon Christian to do
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: what they did was very impressive. But they did fall,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: which put them in the consolation round on day two.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: So you wake up Day two Meridians playing another morning
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: game in the semi finals against the Center, and they
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: came out and they just squeaked out wins. I mean
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the you know, the first two sets they won and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: it went into extra you know, extra time or extra
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: points or extra games or however you want to say it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know the exact term.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I know a volleyball player or coaches listening and saying,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: come on, Tyler, you got to know these things. But
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: they won twenty six to twenty four and then twenty
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: seven to twenty five, so they just kept squeaking these
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and I remember looking over Eric Trent, but my buddy
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: who was covering stuff for Cascadia Daily, news, and we
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: were like, they're gonna do this. And they lost the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: next one twenty six twenty four, which was kind of
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: concerning a little.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Bit, because that's that can happen. You get that high and.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Then you lose that third one. It can just sway
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the other way. But Meridian they just stayed with it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: That next ball mentality they went twenty five seventeen over
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the center. They went over and put their sticker on
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: that win there. I mean, it was just, oh my goodness,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: it was such elation. It was so cool to see
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Meridian was going back to the championship game for the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: first time in twenty one years.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: And then you know where they were going to meet
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: up with Shelan.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Lindy Christian game that happened later
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: on in that afternoon. Though they played well, they played Kalama.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I think there was boys that morning. It all kind
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: of goes together. You know, there's no windows in that building.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just looks seems like it's the same
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: time all the time.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: But they they they ran them out of the building.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I mean it was twenty five eleven, twenty five, nineteen
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: twenty five eleven and knocked the Chinooks out Lendy Christian stick.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: But then that meant.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: They were gonna play the fifth, sixth place game and
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: kind of a quick turnaround against Cedar Park Christian, who
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: they lost to earlier in the year.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: And so I was a little concerned about that, but
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: they played great again, and so I look at it
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: as I mean, you could say Lenard Christian, even though
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: they had the lowest placing out of the four teams
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: that went into state, they probably played how do I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: put this, They probably played.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Above their abilities more than the other teams did at
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that tournament. I thought, you know, their only loss was
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to Kashmir and that went five sets, and Kashmir was awesome.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So that really showed me a lot. I mean, they
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: they swept Cedar Park Christian, which is huge to take
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: fifth place. They were they looked great.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And Lena Christian has that they kind of have all
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the pieces and when they're playing the right way, they
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: can be really, really tough to defeat.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, they have some great, great seniors, but
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of underclassmen that have been playing a lot,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: so you know, the big obviously, the tough one to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: replace will be Ella Fritz. I mean having a top
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: notch setter will take you very, very far. And she
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is one of the best I've ever seen. So it's
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know who's kind of next in line,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure. I mean, there were some
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: players that were on the bench that never got in.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I think one of them is a ceter Like when
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: they do warm up, she's setting and stuff, so, you know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and coach Jansen is so great, I think that they'll
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: get things the right way. But it's really I mean,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Ella Fritz is a unicorn. I mean, she she has
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: so much that she can do, so replacing her will
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: not be easy. But there's still gonna be a lot
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: of great players coming back. And the congratulations for the links.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I'm finishing in fifth place in state. That brought us
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to the championship game. And it was all the hooplah
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: with the neon stuff and the lights and the smoke
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and the oh man, it was awesome and I was
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: right and right and fried. I didn't know where to
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: go because I wanted to capture it on video. But
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I'd never been to a state volleyball championship game before.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I've been to State. This is my third time. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: never stayed for the championship.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Walker County had never gotten there the last couple of years,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: so I didn't really.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Know where to stand or where to be. Luckily, I
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: was in just the right place. Caught a great video
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: of the player introductions and and uh it was awesome.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: But they met up with just one of the most
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: dominant teams I've ever seen in any sport. I mean,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the Slann Mountain Goats are legit. They just do everything perfect,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: like you like, there's no holes. You know, It's like
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: if you get a great shot on them, they're so
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: good defensively that they will dig it out and then
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: they pass so well and when and when they hit,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: it's not it's they have the power.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: But the accuracy was unbelievable down the line, like staying
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: in bounds.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: It was incredible. I and you could tell that that
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: is a volleyball like ourhouse. I mean, the parents and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the family that came out for that, it was just loaded.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had so many people there you could
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: tell they've done this before and they had this was
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: their sixth state, sixth straight state championships.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: You know. The Trojans, boy, I just I you know it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: It I I it's so.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Hard to hold back tears, you know, at the end
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: of some of these matches, because you know you're seeing
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: them for the last time play and and there it's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the last time they'll all play together. And right away,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I mean there's players crying, and it's like, I'm so
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: glad I got that camera just matched up against my
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: face because because it starts to happen to me, and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I just keep sitting there taking pictures, stating, taking pictures,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: taking pictures because I don't want anyone to see what's
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: going on underneath that.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: And my face looks like complete hell already, just from
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: you know, being.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Awake for so long, and uh, I just you know,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I it's it's it's a whirlwind of emotions. And but
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: again it's that feeling of being there and capturing it
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and just being.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: So lucky that I get to do that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I still pinch myself. It's crazy that Meriading goes down
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: in three straight sets.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: But I tell you what that team, I mean, they
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: had to.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Fight and scratch just to get through districts. You know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: they lost the opening round and districts they had to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: win their way out. Just through that conference play was crazy. Tough,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: you know, and they you know, they took Lindon to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: five sets. They that's a really really good team.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just it's a special group.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that a lot of them played basketball together,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: so it'll be fun to see them again together on
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the court.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I'll probably be going to practice here this week sometime
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: to get headshots and meet the new coach and stuff
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: like that. So yeah, just congratulations to the Trojans. What
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: an amazing run.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: So so glad I was there to just see it,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: and it it was awesome.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Let's jump over to two A.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And it started for two A. It started with Sea
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Home defeating Fife three zero. And I you know, with
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Sea Home, it's their first time in the state tournament
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in quite a while. It's been six years since they'd
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: been to the state tournament, and so I was thinking, man,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they might it might take them a while to kind
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: of get used to it. And Fife was a much
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: bigger team.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: As Fall as just it's just tight, and I thought,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: oh oh, but they came out and won twenty seven
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: to twenty five in that first set, and that really
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: showed me that, Okay, they're ready, they're ready for.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The moment, and they won the next two sets, twenty
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: five to seventeen, twenty five to twelve.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: They just wore them down, which was great to see.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Which men's then.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Move on to the quarterfinals where they were going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: play Tombwater. The game was supposed to start at eight o'clock.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I remember it was crazy because I think I was
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the court watching somebody.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Boy there's a lot of volleyball going on.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: But I remember thinking that game's not gonna start for
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: quite a while because the match they had going on
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: before it. You know, when I think that one went
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: five sets and it was just you kind of knew, like, oh,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a while until they get that started.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: By the time they got it started, I mean I
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: think it was I don't know, it was probably nine
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: five maybe, and they were supposed to start at eight
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and uh and so yeah, I think after the so
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the see them won or no, I'm sorry, they lost
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the first set twenty five twenty three. Tom Water, of course,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: is coached by Derrick Croft's daughter. I can't remember her
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: first name, but for all of you, you know, Walkin
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: County sports fans, you know who Derreck Croft is one
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of the greatest athletes in Linden history.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Three sport athletes, mostly known.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: For basketball, and you know, won a state championship and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: broke all sports of records school records at London, which
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: tells you a lot there for basketball. And and yeah,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: his daughter is the head coach. She played at Gonzega,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: so there's a fun tie in there. But and Tumwater
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: won that first set, so it's kind of like, Okay,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Seem won the next one twenty five to fourteen, pretty
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: pretty deciding. And then when they won the third one
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: twenty five twenty one, I was thinking, man, is this
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: gonna go five sets?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Because I think at that point it was almost eleven o'clock.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And I took a video of the girls just kind
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of out there, you know, waiting for the next set
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to begin, and they were waving to the camera, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I took a video of the crowd and it was
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It's so funny because I kind of turned around and
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: looked at the crowd and the Sundome is completely empty.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: There's no other games going on, there's nobody else in
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the fans, there's in the stands.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: It's just a sea home crowd going I mean, they're tired.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It is eleven o'clock at night. Is it's a late night.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But they had work to do, and they took care
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of business, winning the last one twenty five eighteen or
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm sorry, I'm looking at I was just
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: looking around twenty five to nineteen, and and it was
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: it was that was awesome because now they're going to
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: the semi finals and they hadn't been the semi finals
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: in eleven years something like that. So it's all this
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: history that's being made. And so I was so proud
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: to be there and witness it. And the problem was
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't get back to the hotel and write about it,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: and I didn't get done to about two thirty, and
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I knew I had an early game the next day,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and it just boy, I was not in good shape.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: But it's so.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Funny because you get there, though, and you're so tired,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and I don't drink coffee or I don't, so I don't.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: There's no you know, I just have a cup of
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: orange juice and then go and that's that's what gives
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: me my kick, I guess. And then I go there
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and it is just pure adrenaline because you're just you're
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: just in the moment and it's so awesome, and then it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: And then it hits me like a wall. You know.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: The next day, I mean, Sunday was a complete day
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of recovery, know, plus the long drive back home. So
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm you know, I'm hanging in there now. But uh,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: but yeah, beating Tumwater was huge. You go to the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: semis where they're gonna play against Linden, so you knew
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you had one of those teams is gonna make it
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to the state championship game. Let's talk about Linden here
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: because they I mean, we haven't spoke about Linden yet.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I mean they they ran rough shot over Chief Selth
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: twenty five nine twenty five, nine, twenty five to ten.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Poor Chief Sealth. You know they you know they're the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: sixteen seed. But what what what was happening was it?
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I found myself rooting for them later in the tournament
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: watching them against Bainbridge and they took a set from
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: They took a set from from Bainbridge, which was cool.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Bainbridge did end up winning, but I was watching that
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: game like rooting for Chief self because you know, I
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: saw them against Linden be outmatched, and I felt so
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: bad for those girls. But Lindon looked, they're the top
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: seed going in, they're undefeated going in, and they and
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: they proved it in the kind of in that one.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And then they went and played West Valley and kind
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: of did the same thing West Valley as Spokane twenty
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: five eight, twenty five, thirteen, twenty five, nineteen.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Just looking really really sharp.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: So it was it was Linen against Seahome in the
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: semi finals, so knowing that it was going to be
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: at least that I knew there was gonna be at
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: least one.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Less match to worry about. So instead of sixteen matches
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: in two days, it was only fifteen. I mean, it
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: doesn't make a huge difference, but it made a difference,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: trust me. And so they played against each other, I
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: mean they played each other so many times this year already,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: and you know they played over the summer. I mean
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: this is and this was they know each other so well,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and it was really close. I mean, Linden took the
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: first two twenty five eighteen twenty five to twenty two.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Seaholme wins won twenty five twenty.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Three, and and then Linden took their of Business twenty
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: five eighteen. I thought, I thought Lexi hermonuts was so
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: dominant in that she's one.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Of those players where.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Holy cow, like if she was on I don't want
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to say that she gets like buried behind the players
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: on her team because she does it.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, they use her a lot.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: She's on the court constantly, but like if she was
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: on another team, I feel like her star would shine more.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: And but it's she's so good. She's really really good,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and I think she kind of gets forgotten a little bit.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And that's a benefit for Linden because you know, you
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: have to be on the lookout for those pins with
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Ryan Stefan and Finley Partcher, and then Lexi
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere and just that downward trajectory that
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: she can get on.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Those attacks are amazing, and.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: My goodness, what just what a complete team Linden is
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: and they win that one to go to the state
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: championship game. It pushes Lynn into the third fourth place game,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: which was a little bit later on that afternoon, I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: guess it was, and it was against Columbia River, and
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Columbia River was a team that I kind of would
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: be in that state championship game, but Ellensburg took him
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: out pretty handily. Columbia River has a hitter that I
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: believe is a sophomore that has an offer from Duke.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, she she might have been one of the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, she was definitely one of the best players
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I saw in the tournament.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: And she was really really good.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I mean there's some there's some smoke coming off those
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: attacks when she hits them.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: In her serves too. Her serves were fantastic. And you know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Seahome Sea Home was just it just I don't I'm
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: not gonna say they ran out of gas or anything,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: but they've had that late late night the night before.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Then they just played the number one ranked team in
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: the state.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Now you got to face the number two ranked team
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: in the state with Columbia River, and they they they
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: kept with them, and the first set was was rough
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: twenty five to fifteen. The next two twenty five and
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: twenty five twenty three, they stayed with them, but the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Rapids just proved to be too much.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, and and see Home. That was that that
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: hurt me like that hurt my heart watching that, just
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: because I really really enjoyed that that team and they
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: fought so hard just to get to the state tournament,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: to get there like they they were. You know, they
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: got bounced out at districts last.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Year, and that that hurt me too, because I really
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: liked that team and there are certain teams you just
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: get close.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: To and you root for.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And you know, when they beat Archbishop in the district
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: tournament at Meridan this year, it really it just I
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: was like, they're gonna be at State.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be at State. I can't wait to see
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: them there. It's gonna be great. I was so excited.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: And to see them with their season ending.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Like that, it's just it's over. And there was They
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: have a lot of seniors on that team and.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: And some great, great ones and that was that was that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: That was hard. And I you know, I.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Was talking to coach Claytonson after the game and you know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I asked him if he'd ever seen a hit or
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: like that before that was on Clembia River. He said, yeah, Finleyparcher.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: And which brings me to the state championship game as
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Lynnen played against Ellensburg and this was a this was
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: probably the best volleyball match I've ever seen live in
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: my life, not that I've seen a ton, but I've seen, you.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Know, quite a bit over the last few years. And
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: this was just it was even, it was intense. It
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: was so there's so much talent. There wasn't a lot of.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Like mishits and mistakes. I mean, it was just really
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: good volleyball constantly. And after the first set Lynden wins
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the first set twenty six twenty four, I thought for
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: sure it's gonna go five.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: That's just the way that it felt.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think every single one of them at
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: some point it was twenty to twenty. It just seemed
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: like that. And Linden wins by two points, which you
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: have to win by two in all three sets twenty
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: six twenty four, twenty five, twenty three, and twenty six
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: twenty four. So glad I was able to be right
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: there on the floor to capture history. Lennon's first ever
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: state title unbelievable, and and Ellensburg had one one since
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, so this was like something I had
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to give here. And yeah, this was another one where
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I was emotional afterwards, and I was holding it back,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: and you know that the smoke and the and the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and the you know, the confetti and the all that stuff.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just so cool to see them
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: with the big gold ball.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll never forget I'll never forget Sarah McBee
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: getting that ball and just launching it above her head
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: and just being so excited. You could see the elation
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: or out of her. And I just took pictures right away,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: and I you know, when I got back from Yakamaa
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: made sure I sent one to her and I said,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: this is this captures at all, like, this is this
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: is what it's.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Supposed to be about.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to take this and here
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I want you to have his picture, and and it
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: was it was awesome and just to be there for
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it was really really cool, and it was so cool
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: to see some of the football players show up. They
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: had played a game, you know, at two pm, you
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: know at Ferndale High School.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: They the what it got done at like four.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Then they right after the game, I mean, they hopped
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: in a car, came over the.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Pass and showed up just in time.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Now the game, the championship game got started a little
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: bit late, maybe forty five minutes late, which was a
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: good thing. They were able to be there for I mean,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: it was just so many people in the crowd.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: It was so cool.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: And then talking to coach Elisoner after the game, I
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: didn't I didn't want to, you know, bugger, she was
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: doing her thing and I was just kind of standing
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: like five feet behind her waiting for her to turn around.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: And when she did, we both just kind of smiled
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: and and got tearful because you know, this is something
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: that's has been a long time coming.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: And I was just so darn happy for her.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it was it was tremendous and it's just
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: a really cool thing.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: And and you know, she.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I you know, in a way, she really got the
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: ball rolling for me to cover volleyball. And you know,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: she talked all the coaches at the coaches meeting a
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: few years ago in the preseason and said, you know,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: this is what Walker Preps is, this is what he does,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: this is what he wants to do. He wants to
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: capture stats, he wants to get headshots. Please send in
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: your stats to him after the game, after every game,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and he will, you know, do this and do leaders
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and do players.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Of the week. I mean, she kind of I'm not
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: good at that.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Stuff I'm not good at, you know, getting that started
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and trying to figure out a new sport and and
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: see how that can all work.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: And she made it happen.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: And so I'm just so thankful for her, and and
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: you know, it's I'm so happy for and for doing
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: what she was able to accomplish and winning a state title.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: And and Lindon, I mean, my goodness again, there is.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: There's no words. I mean, it was just such a great,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: great team. And you know a media member who I've
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I can't remember his name right now. Maybe the last
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: name might be Thompson. He covers a lot of stuff in.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: The Ellensburg area.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, I met him at state basketball last
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: year and he was there for volleyball, and you know,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: he came over and he just kind of shook his head,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I think after the second set and he's like, he's like,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: we just can't we can't get past there blocking, you know,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: like Linden's blocking.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: And it's not that they had a ton of blocks.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: They had a lot of blocks, but they had a
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: lot of blocks that kept plays alive.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Which doesn't count specifically as a block in the stack.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Calm, you're not getting a point for that block, but
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: you're blocking an attack that they have to set up again.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: And and he's right. I mean, it was really really
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: impressive what they did.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: And the defense as a whole was fantastic in that game,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: and the serving was great.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, they they probably didn't attack as well as
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: they usually do, and that has a.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Lot to do with the talent of the Bulldogs, but
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: the defense was tremendous and they were focused and they
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: they came out and they got it and really really cool.
• 44:06

• 46:24
  Speaker 1: kills on the year. Just a sophomore, she led her
• 46:28

• 46:53
  Speaker 1: a number sixt Lana Beydak of Ferndale at three point
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: four to nine. Now keep in mind she can improve
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: on this number, but it could.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Go down as well. It's all it's all averages.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: So but she's been sitting here at this number six
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: spot for pretty much all year, so close to cracking
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: that top five I think she did early on. Number
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: five was Chris de Hoague of Niukzak Valley three point
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: six four. Number four is Ta Dubay of Blame three
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: point sixty seven. Then you jump up in numbers here
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Hayden Nevadomski I see on four point one three kills
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: per set. Number two was Melanie Short of Meridian four
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: point six kills per set, and Finley Parcher led with
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: five point one point one kills Persett. That is an

  Speaker 1: she dove and I think she went completely underneath coach
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Elsner's chair, which was a way out of bounds. But
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: she will break through a wall to get that volleyball.
