• 1:10
  Speaker 1: That is on social media. Uh, and send a message
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and just and just ask the question. You know, there's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: lots of there's high level, there's low level, there's all
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: sorts of different things as far as depending on how
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: much you want to spend or whatever, and if you
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have a budget, we could work on it. You know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I maneuver all things, a lot of things around to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: try to make whatever you want to have work. So
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: uh so yeah, we just do that and go from
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: there and continue to make Walk the Preps the hottest
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: thing going right now because it's I love how many
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: people I hear from that say, hey, you're the one
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I go to for local sports stuff. You know, you're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the only a lot of people say you're the only
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: one covering sports. And I'm thinking, well, I'm not the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: only one covering sports, but I guess might be the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: only one covering all the sports I don't know, or
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: all the games are obviously just something to read about
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for everything. So yeah, so yeah, it feels good and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the hope I can keep it going and it just
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it comes down to sponsors, so that's the soul, the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: sole income, and and hopefully we can keep it going.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And if anybody's listening, notice we don't have sponsors for
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: this next year. Somebody should sponsor the senior your podcast.

• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Tyler.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: As I said, we've got three schools to talk about here.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So what do you say we get right into Linden Christian. Yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: let's do it, alrighty, first off, six to one one
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: seventy wide receiver and safety. I feel like this is
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: not the first time that we've had the guy leading
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: off the podcast. Is the guy that led off the podcast?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I mean in theory, but it's number two Jayde and Hewliett.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. I think for the Burndale squallic and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: one that was Lincoln Thomas. That was the first kid
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we talked about then too. So yeah, Jayde and Hewliett.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You know, the first thing I think of is he
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: was kind of thrust into action last year at safety
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: when Trevin Blair went down and his first start was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: against Royal. You know, it's like, oh, if you're gonna
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: start safety, might as well be against Royal right off
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the bat. And and what did he do? He went
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: out and he intercepted three passes, and so it was
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just like, Okay, who's this you know, kinda he kind
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of triggered me right off the bat. And when I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: watched the film, the thing I noticed was that even
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: though he took, he takes chances a little bit. He
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they were he didn't do it all the time. He
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: did it kind of he had really good He had
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a good knack of when to take those chances. They
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: were calculated risks that he would take, and it was
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: just a ball hawk. You know. He ended up with
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: five interceptions that year as a junior, and and uh
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: it just a really fun player to watch this year.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He was He was involved in the offense a lot more,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: probably a lot more than he thought he would be,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: especially near the end of the year when he was
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a major target with so many guys going down with
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: injuries and stuff like that. And I think that he
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was just kind of their guy that they knew they
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: could put it free safety and they could put their
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: hands up and say we're set there, we don't have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to worry about anything. And all of a sudden, like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: four receivers go down and they're like, oh, by the way,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be kind of the main guy out of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the slot too now and huh, you know so, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he didn't complain, and he starts returning kicks. He's doing
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: all sorts of things. So so love that and a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: kid like that. And it'll be cool get to see
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: him in baseball again. So this won't be it for him.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: In his career, twenty five catches for two hundred and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: sixty yards, eight kickoff returns for ninety eight yards, he
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: returned to punt four yards. And then on defense and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that was the thing on defense this year to last year.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Last year he had a lot of interceptions. This year
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he was played the run really well. He was on
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of tackles. Finished his career with seventy three tackles,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: six interceptions, four passes broken up for our, one fumble,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. So really really
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: good player and uh got to see you got to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: see a lot of time and and especially near the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: end of the year, and a guy that you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I when I think about free safety next year, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me to come up with somebody, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: will it be like a Wyatt camp house, or will
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: somebody like that, but it'll be maybe Jamison hints it'll
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be tough to replace him because he's a he's a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: guy that could do a lot of good things and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a very very dependable player.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Next up, five nine one ninety defensive line. Uh, number
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: thirty four, it's Austin Engles.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Austin Engles. I mean the first thing I think
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of is baseball. I mean we've talked about him with baseball,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you know, flirting with five hundred and leading the county
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and home runs and all sorts of things, and and uh,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know, starting starter right off the bat from his
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: freshman year on and now he's a senior. My goodness,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it's it's just crazy how fast it goes. And and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: uh but yeah, I played played football too. I played
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: against his dad, Jason in high school. He even sent
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: me like a still shot of a picture or a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: still shot of an action play of him coming off
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the edge and me kicking an extra point, Like he's like,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: there's me, there's you know. I was like, oh, my goodness,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this is that's hilarious and so so that. I mean,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: those are the kind of things that I love. I mean,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: it's just there's so many connections like that. But Austin
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Engeles he had an injury and I didn't think he
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: was going to play at all this year for for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: for football, and he ended up missing a little bit
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of games in the beginning of the year. He got
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: into the once the league started, he started playing and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: was playing really well. But then for him to have
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: surgery at a specific time so we wouldn't miss baseball,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it kind of cut his football season short. So he
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: kind of had this brief window which was basically just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like three or four league games that was it. And
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: but he played pretty well. He got into the game
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit on offense his junior year, playing some
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: running back, but this year he was strictly a defensive lineman.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You know, Lindy Christian does that a little bit, kind
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: of like Lyndon does three man line and they take
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: back up running backs and they say, you're a defensive lineman.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Now they like they know the Cole Larson's and guys
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: like that, and Trace and Johnson and those guys become
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman and and it's been working and Austin Engels
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was just another one of those guys. In his career,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: thirteen carries for thirty eight yards and a touchdown on defense,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: eighteen and a half tackles and one tackle for loss.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say right now, is probably gonna bat
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: five hundred with six or seven home runs and forty
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: RBIs or something crazy like that, and uh and uh
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and good, good football player, amazing baseball talent. Really excited
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to see that once that comes around. But I love that,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you know, he came out not even knowing if he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was gonna play, hung with it, was able to get
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: in there play a little bit, and then he had
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the surgery and was still on the sideline after that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: So being their first teammate's really really cool.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Next up six three two fifteen, left tackle, defensive line
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: number fifty four, Nico Brummer. Now Tyler did he did
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: he win Lineman.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Of the Week? He did that final week and Week twelve? Yeah, yeah,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Week twelve he won offensive Lineman of the week, the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: sole senior starter on the offensive line, And which is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: crazy because I think back in the last two or
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: three years and they've always had like either five seniors
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: or four seniors every year, and so that's gonna be
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a nice thing for Turp next year. He's gonna have
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of his offensive lineback, He's not going to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: have Nico back. And and Nico is a guy that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: in the beginning of the year was playing a lot
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: more both ways because they were still trying to kind
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of figure out their rotation and guys. But once League
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: settled in, he was basically just playing left tackle. He
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was cemented in that spot and that was where he
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: was going to play. He wasn't gonna be playing a defense.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: They kind of settled on their three linemen, including Angles
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: as a fourth when he was healthy. So, uh, really
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: really good, strong, physical, athletic left tackle. You know, they've
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: had guys like that. I mean, I've I'm thinking of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: all sorts of guys. The names are escaping me, but
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I always they always seem that, like Davis Gatterman was
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a left tackle, not built like a left tackle, but
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a very athletic player that they would play at left tackle.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They've had a lot of guys like that that were
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: like really good line like inside linebackers that would play
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: left left tackle. And and he's he feel, you know,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: he looks the part more than any of the prior ones,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you know, with the with the height and the size
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and the build and everything. And also you know when
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he did play some defense, he put up a little
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: bit of numbers, ten tackles, a sack, a half, a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: tackle for loss as well. But but really was kind
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of that, you know, that senior leader on that offensive
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: line and help them with the deep run of the playoffs.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Next up, six one, two hundred offensive line, defensive line
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: number fifty eight Nick Mullendike.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna have a run of guys here that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: were just kind of that next tier of linemen that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: would get in a little bit on defense. Uh scout team,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you know linemen and uh, you know all not all
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of them, but some of them kind of similar size.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Nick Muhndyke. One of those guys did have a tackle
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that this year. It's tricky because when you have guys
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that are a lot of guys that are like backup
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen, they'll find a spot on the defensive line.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: But on a team like Lindon Christian where they use
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: they don't really use backup offensive lineman as defensive line.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: They use like backup running backs as defensive linemen. So
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: hard to find your way on the field because you're
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: not going to rotate on the offensive line, so you're
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: relegated to really helping out on during the week and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: scout team of stuff like that, and so uh maybe
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: on special teams as well. He did, like I said
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: he did. He did get a tackle when he played
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit of the defensive line again too. What
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was tough with Linny Christian is they didn't really have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: any gimmes on their schedule, Like they didn't have those
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: games where you could put in the guys in the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter and yeah, you can just throw everybody, you know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: They just didn't. They didn't play a non league schedule
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like that, so it was, you know, it was they
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they played their starters a lot till the end. So
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of big time numbers from
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: these guys, but you could tell, you know, you know,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: they all helped out during the week.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Next up, six foot one eighty five offensive line defensive
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: line number sixty eight, Cole McClellan.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, undersized, but really really quick. Another guy that's in
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the same vein as Nick Muhlndyke. His one tackle was
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, which I love. It's I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just I think that's really really cool because you never
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: know he might, you know, he might message me in
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: twenty years and say, hey, do you have that tackle
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for loss that I could send? I mean, I remember
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: when a guy reached out. I don't know, it was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: like ten years ago to my history of Walkom County
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: High School football page. And he carried the ball one
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: time in his career against Bambridge Island in a non
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: league game and he lost six yards. He was wearing
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: number sixty four. He was like a five to four
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and eighty pound, you know, backup guard. But he carried
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the ball one time for minus six yards and he
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: wanted to show his son and he reached out to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: him have that play and I'm like yeah, and I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: found it sent it to him and he was like,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. I'm like, you just never know.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And that's what you know. These kids that put in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the work, but they'll remember a play. And I'm sure
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that's a play that he'll remember.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Next up five ten, two hundred, offensive line, defensive line
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: number seventy two, Tanner Bosman.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So many Bosman's over the years, through generations. And it's
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: tricky because I would love to see the family tree.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how they're all related. But uh,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: but Tanner was one of those kids that worked really
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: hard on Scout Team. Super positive kid. Everyone on the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: team loved him, always had a smile on his face
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and it would just work as hard as he could
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to make the guys around him better. You know, another
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Scout Team guy that uh, you know, those are guys
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: are just so so valuable. And Elsie, even though it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: one a school, they had the luxury of playing a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: lot of those guys up front just one way, so
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you know, you were able to give your best on
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Scout Team and you could focus just on that one,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: on that one thing. And a guy like Tanner Bosman
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: helped that next up.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Six foot two thirty five offensive line defensive line number
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: seventy seven. Jack Pereira.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Jack Pereira, my goodness, big kid, really athletic and and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I kind of would see this in spurt moments on
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: offense and defense over the years. But I'll tell you this,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna you're you're gonna love this. So the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: game against Royal just just you know, eight days ago,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you know whatever, wasn't that long ago. When they got eliminated.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: The games in the fourth quarter, they put in Jack
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Perera running back, and and I'm like, and I'm watching
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: the game, going is that Jack Pereira. And they gave
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it to him four straight plays and he ran for
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: sixteen yards. He four average. He was a force man.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I mean he was running hard, he was quick. It
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: was awesome to see. It was awesome and I know
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that it's you know, every lineman's dream is to get
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: one carry. They just kept feeding them the ball. It
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: was awesome. And and that's again and again. We I
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: talked about, you know, remembering one play, He's gonna remember
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: one drive, so that's really cool. He also had a
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: couple of tackles, which I think he picked up earlier
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in his career. I remember him more as a junior
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: actually than a senior. He was a kid that I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: kind of forgot about. And then when I saw him
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: in Royal and he came in and played and carried
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the ball, I was like, this is just the coolest thing.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So I'll always remember that. I'm sure he will too,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and and really fun to see that for Jack Pereira.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Five eight one ninety wide receiver in corner. He's number three.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Mick Owen oh Man, Mick Owen Holy cow, what an athlete.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You know, State champion triple jumper as a sophomore. Like
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I said in the podcast a few days ago, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was at state for track and field and this past
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: year for the one A and the first event they do,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: very first of that happens is the triple jump. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: so and I'm so I'm like, okay, I'm here for
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: like the first hour or so, but so and the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: defending champion is here and he's a Walcome County guy.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: This is awesome. And I'm seeing him and the sun's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: beaming down and he's like stretching, and I'm just like,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: who chiseled that kid? Man? He is just ripped to
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: shreds and uh and and you know, and then I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: came up to him to shake his hand, say say
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: good luck, and and he's just like, oh, hey, thank you.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: You know, he's just so like I was. I was
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: expecting like game face, like he was gonna meet mug
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: me or something, but he was super nice about it. Uh. Great,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: great kid. Uh. Finding ways to get him the ball,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you know, was gonna be interesting because I remember as
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: a junior he would he caught a couple passes, like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: short passes and he would just take it to the house.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Like he had like three catches, but we had two
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of them that went for touchdowns, like forty yard touchdowns
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: on short passes. And I was like, man, get him
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the ball, but they ron in him. Just be a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: shutdown cornerry about paying corner. You're good. And then this year,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to practice and he's with the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: running backs doing drills and I'm thinking, okay, because they
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: didn't know about all this ow and he had this
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you know, weird like a virus or something or something.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: He got sick over the summer and he lost a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: ton of weight and he didn't know if he'd be
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: ready for football, and so they're thinking, okay, Well he
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: was back at practice. He was there and he was competing,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: but they were going with some other running backs and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: doing different things, and he looked so good in the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: drills and I was like, man, he can do so
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: many different things. I think he'd be really good. And
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: they they put him at slot and he would catch
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: some passes. And then there was a game I think
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it was the uh man, it's not on Alaska. Who's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the team? The two B team, the really good team. Oh, Okanagan, Okanagan.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I can never remember that Okanagan. So when else he
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: played Okanagan, I think Allosone got hurt and he missed
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the next week, which was home against Lakeside nine Mile Falls,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and so they put Mick going a tailback and he
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: had like he had like three rushing touchdowns like in
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the first half, and I was like this, see this kid.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could put him in a lot of
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: different spots, but his always thing was always shut down corner,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: like you just never you never had to worry about it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: He was an All Conference Curse team pick as a junior.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: The senior year, you're thinking, Okay, he's gliding along, he's
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: no problem. Breaks his leg against Baker out for the year,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and it's like, oh man, I just you know, you
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: just you hate that for a senior obviously, but you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: know it's it's really really tough. I mean, he was
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: nominated for All Conference, he didn't make it, which is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: tough because you know, you don't play against every team
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: when you missed half the season, and and but what
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: a great athlete, you know. And I hope he'll be
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: healed up by track because it's just fun to see
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: what he can do up close. Thirty seven carries for
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty yards and four touchdowns, eighteen catches
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty six yards and three touchdowns,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: ten kickoff returns for one hundred and five yards, three
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: punt returns for crazy forty one yards, and then on defense,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: just forty tackles because they never went his way, fourteen
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: passes broken up, a force fumble, an interception, and a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: fumble recovery. He's he was a special player and another
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: kid that I You know, when the kid loses half
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: his senior year because of injury, you just want him
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to play one more year. And you know, I bet
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: coach Turp is thinking the same thing. But uh say
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: goodbye to Mick Owen. And it was awesome while it lasted.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Five eleven, two hundred running back, linebacker. It's number twenty four,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Hollis Owen.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I talked about it a little bit with
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Mick where you know, talking about haulis where he had
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that sickness, and I remember hearing about it during the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: youth football camp that you know he might not play.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: He's lost a bunch of weight, he's and I'm just like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, and because they had lost so much talent,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like they had lost you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Jeremia Wright, kan Steit and you know all these guys
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: like and Dawson Bauma and their whole line. I mean,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: it was like, what did they have coming back that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: we know of? What we knew was they had Trey
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Bossman linebacker who is gonna be set in stone and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you're good for sure. You had Mick going on the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you know, as a as a shut, shut down corner,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and you had Hollis Owen as a running back. Those
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: are the thing three things that you kind of knew
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that he had coming back. And then you're hearing the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: hall of Owen might not be playing well. I go
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: out to practice. He looks pretty good. He doesn't look
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: as big as he used to. And I, after I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: took his head shout, even asked him. I was like,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: how are you feeling? Are you doing okay? He's like, yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I'm getting there, you know. And then as the season
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: went on, you can kind of see that it just
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't going like it was his junior year, but as
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it and then there was like a click, like halfway
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: through where he started playing a lot more defense, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes that's sometimes you get into the game a little better,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: You get the feel forward a little bit more when
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: you're playing both sides. You know, there's a like you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: they talk about like with Edgar being in d you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: it's like dhing is harder than you think because you're
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: not in the field. You know, your only step on
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the field four or five times a game, and how
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: do you stay ready, how do you stay focused and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, And so him playing defense kind of
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and they were kind of going by committee on the
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: running back. But then as the year, as it kind
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of kept going on, they got into the playoffs and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: playing the you know, the Round of thirty two game
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and then the state playoff game, he became more of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a factor in the offensive game now and it was
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: just you know, and then I picked him for Fantasy
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: in that final week because he just kept getting better
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and better, and I thought, okay, and he had a
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: pretty good game against Royal, running the ball, a really
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: good game, and so I loved how you know, he
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: was able to finish strong, which was which was awesome.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I was glad that he was even even able to play,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: which was huge. I finished his career with two hundred
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and sixty one carries for thirteen yards and eleven touchdowns.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Talk about a kid that ran for over a thousand
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: yards in his career and did it pretty quietly. Eight
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: catches for sixty three yards, eight kick returns for fifty
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: nine yards, and then on defense, one hundred and one tackles,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: six passes broken up, three and a half sacks, six
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: tackles for loss, a force fumble, and a fumble recovery.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I loved the hard work that he put in. Yeah,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: there's you know, and another guy you could you could
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: see it on the field like that guy loves to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: play football and it comes out on the field really
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: really fun to see.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Well, last, certainly not least on this list six one,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: two ten tight end linebacker number thirty three. I feel
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: like I picked him about seven times this year in fantasy.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's Trey Bosman.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you did. I mean, every every chance
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you got, you know, you were picking Tray Bob to
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the front seven and backs. He was good for points
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: every single time, absolutely, And he had an injury scare
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: halfway through the year and then came back and played
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: through it. I didn't know he was gonna play in
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: that Meridian game where they were down twenty two to nothing,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and he did play, and he ended up like have
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: it and he caught two touchdown passes and then he
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: caught the game winning two point conversion in a game
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: where even during the week, like people were like thinking
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna play. And you know, that kid is
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: just tough as nails. And another great, great, great kid
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: that helped out with the youth football camp. I mean,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you know, this senior class is just amazing and he's
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: he's one of the best. I remember talking to him
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: during the football camp going he can play a little
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: offense this year. Now he's like, oh yeah, he play
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: some tight end. I said, okay. So I was like, okay,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: he's gonna play it. Put be putting that Cadence Tyte spot.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: We'll see how he does. He almost matched Cayden's numbers,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I mean forty catches this year. Became a huge weapon,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: whether it be from the tight end spot or you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in the slot. The big catch on that two point conversion,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: like I said, to win the game. Mister reliable, he
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: was the guy that they would go to for a
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: big time first down. I mean, he was the guy
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: on defense obviously. I mean it was just you know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you hear it over and over again, Trey Bosman on
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the tackle. I mean it was just you know, we'll
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: get into the defensive stats a little bit, but uh,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: just tremendous, you know, two time All Conference first team
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: linebacker and this this past year, was the co defensive
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: player of the Year for the one A Northwest Conference.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You know, if they had if they did an ap
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: all state you know team, he'd probably be an All
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: state linebacker. Uh yeah. And but just that he played
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: through that knee injury. I don't know how he did it.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: He's not playing basketball this year because he's because of
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: his knee, and you know, he's gonna go on and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: play college and he's uh, you know he started on
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that team last year on the basketball team as a
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: forward and and uh the team they got third place
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: in state and so you know it, they're gonna they're
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: gonna miss him. But he's doing what's right for him
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and for him to be able to play through and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and be so productive. I mean, even in that game
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: against Royal, like he threw a touchdown pass, you know,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, he caught a Bunch catches and then then
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: he threw a touchdown pass, and you know, it was
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: awesome to see the left handed and I love that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I remember that happened with John L. Williams in a
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: game where they gave it to him and he threw it,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and the first thing everyone thought is he's left handed.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Like nothing, like nobody nobody knew that, you know, but
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: when you see a guy rolling that way and it's
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a running back, you don't expect him to throw at
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: We saw the same thing with Isaiah Carlson a few
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: years ago when they pitched him and he throw it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Like I remember watching him warm up during warm up
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: because it was like a double or triple header at
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Civic and I remember watching him warm up and he
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: catches the ball or takes a pitch and he rolls
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: out and I go, oh, looks like he's gonna throw
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Wait what leftyt And it was like, hold on, I
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: canna hear what?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So yeah, I mean that was kind of the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: same deal. When when Bosman threw it, he wound up
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and threw it. I was like, I mean I knew
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: he was left handed from watching him play basketball, but
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you know whoa might not know that, and it worked out.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It was a touchdown, and and uh yeah, he just
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: he's a kid that you know, if you would have
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: put him at you know, right tackle, he would have
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: stood out. You know. He's just he's one of those guys.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Is just a pure football player. And so much, so
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: many good things that were said from opposing coaches, you know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: position coaches even they're like that kid's a stud. Like
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: that kid, we just got to neutralize him, like that's
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: that's the guy. That's the guy. And so a ton
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: of respect from around the county. And he had a
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you know, he we didn't even know he was gonna
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: play high school football. And there was a moment in
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: junior high where hey, you know, he had a really
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: bad eye injury. So I think he can only see
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: out of one eye. It's just incredible, Like, you know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he's the he's the Blake Whitman of of you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty four football. Blake wishes he was as
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: good as a football player as Bosman. And I know
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Blake's like, oh, shut up, but yeah, Bosman was was great.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Forty catches, four hundred and fifty seven yards, seven touchdowns,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: had the thirty two yard touchdown pas against Royal and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: then on defense one hundred and ninety nine tackles. Yes,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not gonna give you an extra one
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to put it. Put you to hundred hundred and ninety
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: nine tackles. This is here, this is this is great.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Thirty one tackles for loss. Wow. Nine passes broken up,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: eight interceptions that he returned forget this, three hundred and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: seven yards on eight interceptions. WHOA three? Yeah, I know
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: three of them, he ret. I don't think he ever
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: most interceptions and you probably agree with this. I think
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: most interceptions do not get returned.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: I say the majority of them are, yeah, because you
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: either you get tackled like immediately, or if it does
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: get returned, it's like one yard two yard type things,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: or you're diving for it exactly you jump up for
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: a ball and you fall down in the process. Or Yeah, absolutely,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I mean I would agree with that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's ever been an interception that he
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: didn't return at least twenty five to thirty yards return.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: He returned three of them for touchdowns. He would tell
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: you that another three of them should have been touchdowns.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: He also had two fumber recoverers and recoveries and just
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I mean just I mean, what a great football player.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, I I oh, here's another little tip.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: But I remember his his sophomore year, there was some
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: things that I liked that stood out, and I was like, okay,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: he's pretty good. And then going into his junior year, I
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: picked Mick Owen as my breakout player, and I think
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: he texted me or he messaged me on Instagram and said,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: mix a great player and he will have a breakout season,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm your breakout player and I and I was
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: like it kind of reminded me of like Colby Ship,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: like you know, like you're gonna use that picture a lot.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: And I was thinking, okay, well, and I even said,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I go, I love it. Let's see it. I love it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, he goes out there and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: he just he has like over ninety tackles or something
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: like that his junior year. And I was like, yeah,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: he's right, I got it. Yeah, you know, and I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: usually nailed those breakout players, but he called me out
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: on it. He was absolutely right, and uh yeah it was.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: It was really fun to watch play football. I'm glad
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: he's gonna keep playing Tyler.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: That is it for Lynn and Christian. Yeah, we've still
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: got Mount Baker and see home. Any last words on
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Elsie before we move on or move on and we'll
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: talk everybody at once.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a small class, but I love what they
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: did this year with good and all the way to
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: the quarters. I think I don't think anybody really expected
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: that going into the year. So that senior class set
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the tone. There's a great group of juniors and sophomores
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: behind them that will kind of carry that lead. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, Bossman and the Owens and the Hewliots and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: those guys, they really got that started. So it was
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I feel like this senior class at else is kind
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: of similar to like maybe not this senior class, maybe
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: like the team going in it's kind of similar to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: what they've had like a few times in recent memory
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: where it's like, man, they lost a lot, Oh man,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: are they gonna be good again? Like it might be good,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Like there's talent, but we didn't really know, but we
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: also knew that they're going to be coached well that
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like, but yeah, they.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Always comes out and yeah, schedule comes out. You kind
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of go WHOA, yeah, yeah right, they're going to really
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: test themselves. But you're right like like and I'll be
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: completely honest, Like I went into the season, I told
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people, I said, I think Meridian's going
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to be Elsie this year. I just I just, you know,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: knowing that how much Elsie lost and how much Meridian returned. Yeah,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I just thought and and you know, and the year
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: before Elsie was the conference champion, Meridian did not win
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: a game in the conference. So I thought it was
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: kind of a bold statement telling but I told people that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think I told you that. I told
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that because they were asking what
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: do you think about Meridian this year? What do you
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: think about ELC? And that was always my answer. And
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: then and the game was twenty two to nothing halfway
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: through the third and I felt pretty good about it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: But there was something about those links that just wouldn't
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: go away. And and kudos to them, because that was
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that was huge, you know, and unbelievable. I mean, they
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: played four conference games and I never picked them to
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: win once on the pick them. Isn't that crazy? I mean,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: it's just but it's just the way that it went.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: You know, I just thought it's just but they I love.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: But next year I'll probably pick them every single week
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna be loaded. But you know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: against Blaine, I mean Blaine was Plaine was rolling. They
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: were four and oh and you know Blaine. You know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: they got like one hundred and fifty more yards from
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: scrimmage than Elsie did in that game, but Elsie made
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the plays when it happened, Elsie won. Next week against Baker,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it's pouring down rain. I'm thinking, well, that's gonna favor
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Baker because they like to run and Elsie likes to throw.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: And Elsie pulls it off and wins by his like
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: six points. And then the next week I picked Maridan
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: because I've been telling everyone that anyways, So pick Meridan,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and Elsie comes back and wins it on you know,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: an overtime, on a two point conversion. Okay, well, next
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: week is against nook Sack, and well I picked Nucksack
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and nuk Sack one. But the point is that, and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I was hearing it from like Elsie, you know, like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: fans and and like their student section. Tyler get over here,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I walk up, Why you good peeking against us man
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Trey Bossman's the best player in the league. But I'm like,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's it was just funny, but
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I I just love how, you know, how great they
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: did this year. You know, we talk about kind of
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: like that Knooksack team from like three or a couple
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: of years ago where it was like, I think next
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: year's the year, but man, they did pretty good this year. Yeah,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: you know, and so it's very very similar. So I
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: think they're I think it's only gonna help them and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the Links are gonna have a big boost next year. Uh,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: let's move on talk Mount Baker Tyler. What do you say.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Let's do it all right. We start off with six
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: foot two and seventy one pounds wide receiver, corner and
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: punter Number two, Darius Gilstrap.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, transfer from London and I have a little bit
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: of his stats from Lindon to you know, as an
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: under classman, didn't play a ton, but played played a
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: little bit, got some defensive run. I even looked at
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a roster from like his I think like his freshman
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: or sophomore year, and he was listed as a quarterback
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and so which was interesting because when I had heard
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: when I saw him playing basketball and I saw him
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: in track, I thought, is he gonna play football? And
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: then I was hearing that, yeah, he's gonna try out
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, and I was thinking, man, they already have two.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: You know, they played two different quarterbacks that are both
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: returning this year. Now they have three. This is gonna
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: be really interesting for a team that doesn't really throw
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the ball very much, but they but he bound a
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: home as a receiver. Well, his best game was that
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: final game against Zilla. I mean he I think he
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: had like five catches for eighty something yards and and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and and he might have even had a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: couple touchdowns in that game. I mean he had he
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: had his best game, which is pretty cool. He was
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: named All Conference first team punter this year, probably you know,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I you know, I heard coach lepsay, probably the best
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: holder he's ever had. There were a lot of different
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: times when snap wasn't great, but he was able to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: either reach back and get it, reach up and get it.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And that's just that hand eye coordination is you know.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be the leading scorer in the basketball
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: team this year. So it's the guy that just has
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: good ball skills and can get anything and put the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: ball down for the for the freshman kicker. And then
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: as a defensive back, he had a big interception that
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: he returned fifty yards. I thought he was gonna take
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: it to the house, but the guy had an angle
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: on him. So, you know, it's it's interesting because I mean,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I'd be curious to hear like the differences between the
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you know, Linden and Baker, and I mean I go
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: out to all the practices, but it's kind of cool
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: to be able to play for both of those coaches,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: which is you know, not you know, nobody can really
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: say that, So that's pretty interesting. There nine catches for
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven yards and three touchdowns, so
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: a big, big play guy average twenty nine point four
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: yards of punt non defense, fourteen tackles, a pass broken up,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the interception that it returned fifty yards, like I said,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and half a tackle for loss. Really really athletic kid
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: and really fun to watch. And we get to see
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: him for the next couple you know sports, We're going
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to see HM basketball and track and field.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Five A one sixty four wingback and linebacker at number nine,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Sean Dugger.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: I was really curious who was going to be the
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: wing back coming in this year. I knew he would
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: be the kind of the next guy up, being a
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: senior and everything, but I thought, man, maybe maybe there's
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: gonna be Bryce Cooper. I just didn't really know, you know.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: But and coach Lepp will always give seniors the first
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: shot at it, and if it's not working out, he
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: has no problem replacing him. Gave Sean Dugger the first
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: shot at it, and Sean Dugger went off and his
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: best game was his final game of the year. I
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: think it ran for like one hundred and eighty yards
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: against Zilla. I mean, he just had a huge game.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I mean in his career. In his career, he averaged
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: over ten yards of carry. And I know from that
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: wing back spot, you know, you can get some good
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: end to rounds and some good double handoffs and trickery
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But you still need to be quick,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: you still need to be fast. And he is tough
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: as nails. A wrestler does not want to go down.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: He's going to try to score that touchdown every single play.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: And an underrated linebacker played a lot more linebacker actually,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: as a junior than he did as a senior. And
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: you know, you get those wrestlers that are smaller that
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: can get in there and play linebacker, and they're just
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: not afraid. They're going to stick their nose in there
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: all the time. In his career, thirty eight carries for
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety six yards and six touchdowns. Became
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: one of their biggest, if not their biggest receiving threat.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: On the year too, sixteen catches for two hundred and
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: forty seven yards and two touchdowns. I returned seven kickoffs
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: for seventy three yards. Then on defense, fifty seven and
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, seven and a half tackles for loss,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: four fumble recoveries, which is you know, that's a high
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: number there for a career, and just a nose for
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the ball, four passes broken up, and a forced fumble.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: So you know, the little guy put on a bit,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: put on a show, and he saved his best for last, because,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: like I said, that game against Zilla, he went off.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Next up six three, he won ninety four wide receiver
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: in corner. It's number eleven Dan already.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really really impressive athlete. I remember walking out at
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: practice and seeing him and and I think I pulled
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Tom Horseman aside, the defensive coordinator, and I was like, what,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: what great is he in? And he looks at me
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and he shakes his head. He goes senior like that,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: like yeah, he's just like it's like because I knew
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: that there was a you guys like that that were
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: about that size and some were juniors and some were
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: seniors and I didn't know which one. And he's like, yeah,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: he's really good. He's a senior. And I was like,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: oh man, but you know, he he had some he
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: had some big moments. He dropped a couple of passes.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: You know, he was a little inconsistent catching the ball,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: but but he did. You know, he did score three
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: touchdowns on his ten catches too, so there were some
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: good There were some good moments to be had for sure.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Finished with ten catches for one hundred and sixty three
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns, forty two tackles, two and a
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: half tackles for lost, two passes broken up any an
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: interception that he returned for thirteen yards that I think
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that might have happened his junior year if I remember correctly.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, great, great size, and they put
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: him over at corner, and so that's you know, there's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: seems like there's been so many years when Baker's had
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: small corners going against the Lindens of the world, and
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: it's like, are you kidding me? Like, you know, but
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: they didn't have that problem this year. They had some
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: pretty good size out there at corner with him and
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Gilstrap and and uh, there was not going to be
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: any mismatched problems. So it was nice to see. And
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of talking about that during the year when
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I was talking about Baker, I go, the difference with
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: them this year is they got some athletes out there
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: on the perimeter that you gotta It's not the same
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: old I mean, yeah, it's the same old, tough, hitch
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: in the mouth Baker. But usually, you know, you know,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the speed in the back end wasn't as you know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: wasn't really there as much as some other teams. But
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: this year they were very athletic back there, and he
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: was a big reason why.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Next up young Tyler Anderson two running back linebackers number
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: twenty Andrew Montieth.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my goodness, this guy is built like a sea battery.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Hold on, what is it? Isn't that the round one,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: like the big round one that you or is.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: That oh when you said c battery, I'm thinking like
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: see like out to see like oh no, no, yeah,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: you're talking about like a like a like energy like
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: like the energy but yeah yeah energizer.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah he So he is just no nonsense,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: like looks like a marine right, Like I take his headshot.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: He's just like boom, dead face, like just so like
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: business like right, I mean another wrestler And one of
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: the assistant coaches pulled me aside and they go, wait
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: till we kick off, watch him. I was like really,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: he goes yeah, just just just watch him. He will
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: be down, he'll be the first one down on kickoff,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: he will make the tack. He'll just pop up and
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: run right back to the sideline like it's just there
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: is no celebration at all. He's just hughes and he's
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: just this low center gravity rundown ball guy up, come
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: back down. And he had nine and a half tackles
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: this year, all on kickoffs. It was awesome. It was
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: he was so fun to watch on kickoffs. And I
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: remembered that when the coach told me that, I was like, okay, okay,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch for number twenty every kickoff, and he
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: stands out because he's very very short, and but he's
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: built pretty he's built really well. So it's you know,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: you gotta you know he's as no, there's no regard
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: for his body. He's just running down there, make the play,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: get off the field. And I'm like, that's classic Mount
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Baker right there. I loved it so fun to watch play.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: What would a senior roster for Tyler Anderson have said?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Height and waight? Uh five? It said it said five
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: five one thirty, which was probably closer to like five
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to four. Yeah, oh like god thiss I love it. Yeah.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Uh next up six one one eighty two center defensive
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: line is number fifty nine.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Logan Reeves. Yeah, former I believe. I want to say,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: like a former tight end got moved to center a
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. And and the loan starting offensive
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: lineman that was a senior this year other than the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: tight end. Uh, but with the five guys there, he
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: was the loan senior. So I really intuitive kid like
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: uh and wants to know, asked a lot of questions,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: wants to kind of know why you know, those kinds
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: of things, and and that could be a tricky thing
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: because if you ask at the wrong time, you know,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: it's more like just do your job. But it's interesting
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to find out, like who wants to know why? Because
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: you want to coach these kids, and so sometimes if
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: they want to know why, you tell them why, and
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: then they go oh, and then they won't ask anymore.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: And so, uh, not really built like a traditional center
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: or even like an offensive lineman at the high school level.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: But I could not tell you of any mishandled snaps
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: all year, which there was an issue with that a
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: few years ago at Mount Baker. And and so, I mean, yeah,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: there was I really really liked his game, and this
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: year it was it didn't play defense. I think he
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: may have gotten in there a little bit. I just
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: don't really recall. I did have four tackles in his career,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: but it could have came earlier. But I think that,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: you know, they gave him the starting spot at center.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: He earned the starting spot at center, I should say,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: and so they just said, Okay, you got that, that's
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. He did it, and it worked
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: really really well for him, and and uh, you know,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the like I said, the loan the loan senior up there,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to that's gonna be the one replacement.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I could see Noah Ilachev moving from right guard to
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: center and then they got to find a guard. But yeah,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a pretty pretty probably a pretty good
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: line next year, and probably a pretty big one for
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: coach Lips Mountaineers.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Six foote one seventy one tight end defensive end number ninety.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Cayden Moser. Yeah, missed the beginning of the year, I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: think just a couple games, but then when he came
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: when he came back, he was able to play right away.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: He came back before the league's schedule, so that was good. Uh,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you know, start at tight end, and I thought he
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: was probably gonna start at defensive end, but they had
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: these two sophomores that were so good at defensive end
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: that he didn't have to worry about it, and it
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: probably helped him move get along in his game offensively.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: He would come into the game every once in a
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: while on defense and he would make plays. I mean,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: he ended up with five sacks on the year and
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: he didn't even start at defensive end. And they seem
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: to have those kind of guys. Vance Lawrence was like that.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: When he was a sophomore he did not start on defense,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: he had like nine sacks that year or something. So
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: they always seem to have those guys that can get
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: after the quarterback and he was able to do that.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: And he also caught a few passes in his career
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: eight catches for one hundred two yards. He had a
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: thirteen yard kickoff return. And then on defense forty five tackles,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: five and a half tackles for lost plus the five
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: quarterback sacks, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. So yeah,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: just a really really good, steady player that you know
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: when you're the tight end At Baker. There was a
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: run there where they would have the all league tight end.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: There was like an eight or nine year run where
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: they had the all league tight end like every single year,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: but they would never have like more than ten catches
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: in a season. But they were always known for being
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: great blockers and being tough and and and so it's
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: it is a different it's a difficult position playing tight
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: end at Mount Baker, but you never know. You might
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: go play in the NFL someday like TJ. Bess. But
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: it did seem like for a little while there, even
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: though they weren't getting a ton of catches, it did
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: seem like they were getting big catches though, you know
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like yeah, because it's almost like they'd
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: score every time, like yeah, Whaling, Whaling, Kentner and Alex
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Mololi and they'd be wide open over the middle and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh no, the tight end, yeah end.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Oh he's not down blocking this time, right exactly?
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Uh next up six three and seventy six pounds quarterback
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: and safety.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: It's number four, Luke Smith. Yeah, just another run. This
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: is the third now of the Smith kids. We you know,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: we saw Garrett Smith, it was a wide receiver, defensive end.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: We saw Landon Smith and now and now Luke Smith.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: There's another. There's the fourth one on the way, Gage Smith,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: who's a sophomore. But yeah, so yeah, it's I know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, it's it's pretty cool. I mean, that's you know. Dad.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Galen Smith was an awesome player. I played with him
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: in high school. He was he was one of those
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: guys that like he was a senior when I was
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: a sophomore and like an all conference linebacker and you're like, okay,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't want to get hit by
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: him at practice. That's kind of like avoid him. Yeah, yeah,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I'm super nice guy, but like at practice it's like,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: oh man, we're all kind of like the younger kids
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: were all like, okay, as long as we don't get
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: hit by him, I think we'll be okay. But yeah,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Luke Smith, boy, his passing this year really kind of
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: jumped off the tables as far as man, he's he's
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: his deep ballly too was really good. I mean, the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the accuracy from his junior year to senior year was awesome,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: just the way that it he improved so much. But
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: there are some startling numbers here that I'm going to
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: share with everybody really quickly, with him and his brother
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Landon Okay, okay, I where this is headed. It's it's
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty crazy. Land and Smith, who we know, yeah,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: led them all the way to a state championship game,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: right yep. Landon Smith sixty one for one thirty eight
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: in his career passing. Okay, Luke is sixty five for
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: one for two almost exactly the same, almost exactly the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: same forty five four percent passing yards Landon Smith in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: his career nine and thirty nine. Luke Smith nine and
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: thirty nine, and no, you didn't give him one more
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: to make it right. No passing touchdowns Landon Smith twelve,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: Luke Smith twelve. So I mean, come on, that's just
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: that's just crazy. And I didn't notice it until I
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: was like doing the leader's board and stuff like that,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Wow, they're really close and oh they're
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: really Oh they're tight, and they're tight in this. I
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: just I you know who that Ron Lepper from Mount
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Baker High School. Oh my goodness. It's just it's so funny.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if they at the Smith's family
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: even knows it, but if they're listening to this, it's
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: just one of those fun things about how close they were.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: But the other thing too about Luke that I love
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: was was really good safety this year. And there were
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: times as a sophomore junior where I was like, I
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: was like, man, he's not like he missed that tackle
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: or it's like I don't, I don't know, like hopefully
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: you'll you'll get it going, he'll pick because Landing was
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: such a good safety and I just thought, man, he's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: you know, I come on, you know, you'll he'll he'll
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: get there. But this year he was he was out
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: for blood man. He was he was doing really really good.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: And he was named All Conference first team as a
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: defensive back, which I love because he he worked so
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: hard to get to that point and he did it.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: He finished his defensive career with fifty seven and a
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: half tackles, ten passes broken up, an interception, a force fumble,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: and a fumble recovery. So just a great overall football
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: player and and the leader that's uh, you know it's
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: gonna be. He's gonna be a tough one for next year.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Five eleven and one seventy six, A running back, a linebacker,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: he's number twenty five. I believe he just taked me
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: in his film on Twitter. Brady Brulin.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Brady Brulin, My goodness. I' mean another guy where
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: you know I played football and baseball with his dad
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: growing up. Yeah, it's just it's just, you know, it
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: seems like all these guys and when it gets to
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: this point and Brady is and you know, I mean,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: if his dad's listening, he's gonna laugh. But I don't know,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: he must have got his mom's speed because because well
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: his mom was really good athlete. But Brady, the first
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: time I saw him was a little bit his freshman year,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and I remember hearing a few things like, you know,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: he's pretty fast, like he could you know, he might
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: return some kicks, or he might do some stuff here
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: and there, but you watch out for him coming up okay.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: And then sophomore year he had that kickoff return against
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Blaine for a touchdown and it was just like kind
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: of shot out of a cannon. Like I was like, man,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: he is really fast, especially on that turf at Blaine.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Like I was like, man, he's really picking him up
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: and putting him down. And it's almost like this weird
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: way that he runs where like you know, and I
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: brought this up before, where there's this old receiver that
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: played for the Rams back in the forties and fifties
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: named Elroy Hirsch that they called crazy Legs Hirsh because
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: of the way he ran. His legs kind of kicked
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: out he was so fast and and and that's how
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: he runs. It's like I don't know how he does it,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: see how he runs so fast that way, But and
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: he's always fighting for every single yard He's that perfect
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: halfback for that counterplay where you know he can stretch
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: it out and be patient enough and then hit it
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: up the field, but if he sees a whole earlier,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: he can hit it then. And he just got so
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: they ran that play so many times that he was
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: so good at seeing that. Then his junior year, I mean,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: you know, he took over as the half back, had
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: a big, big year. He had a I think he
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: had a touchdown, you know, I mean he had multiple
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: touchdown runs, but he had a touchdown run, touchdown catches.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: He had two kickoff returns for touchdown and like a
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: a an eighty six yard interception return for a touchdown,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: all in the same season. And and he wasn't you know,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: it didn't get any all conference love or anything like that.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: And then this year he had his fourth kickoff return
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown in his career. That broke the school
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: record for most kickoff returns for a touchdown in a career.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: I think in Walkin County history, only Ben Peterson has more.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: He's he has five, as a few guys that have four,
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: one of them being Jake Locker. Ever heard of him
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Brady Brulin before And then maybe a few other guys,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: but really really impressive athlete. Uh. Underrated as a linebacker.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, puts his nose in there all the time,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of tough tackles, had a I think
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: he broke his hand at the end of the year,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: which kind of so he wasn't able to take that
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: as many handoffs, but he was still playing defense and
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: doing different things and is but uh, and that really
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: hurt him. I mean that, you know, that game against Zilla.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I think if he's one hundred percent healthy, that could
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: be a different game. And teams were not kicking to him,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: especially after that fourth kickoff return for a touchdown. I
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: think he only had four returns all year as a senior.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: They just kept kicking the other way or they kick
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: it short or pooch kick or whatever. And I don't
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: blame them. I mean, what a weapon back there. Uh.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Just one of the funner players to watch over the years.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: And and uh and and another one of those that's
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: always really excited to see me, shakes my hand really,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: you know, really happy and thanks me a lot, which
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: is really great. And you know he works hard in
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the summer. I think he goes up to Alaska, does
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: fishing and stuff like that. I mean, he's just he's
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: just one of those hard workers that if you know,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: I know, he's really interested in playing at the next level,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, wherever he ends up going, he's gonna
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: he's gonna really help them out. I mean, you know,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure both parents were collegiate athletes,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's he's got that pedigree in
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: his career, two hundred and nine carries for one three
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen yards and eleven touchdowns. By the way,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: he was named an All Conference first team running back
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: this year, which was great, and a weapon out of
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: the backfield. Fourteen catches for one hundred and sixty six
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns. Again with the kickoff returns, pretty crazy,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: thirty eight kickoff returns for nine hundred and thirteen yards
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: and four touchdowns. I have charted every game for Mount Baker,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: even their special teams, going back about thirty five years,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and he has the most kickoff return yards in the
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: last thirty five years. So pretty impressive for Mount Baker history.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: That is, I think Ben Peterson had over a thousand,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: but yeah, very very impressive. One hundred and one and
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, six passes broken up, five tackles for loss,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: a sack of forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and he
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: had that eighty six yard pick six against Lennon Christian
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: his junior year. So a big time playmaker, loves loves,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: loves the game, and I'm hoping he'll be I'm hoping
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: his hand will be ready at some point to play
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: basketball this year. Didn't see him out there at practice
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: because I know he's you know, probably got to get
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: that all fixed into everything, and then see him at
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: track and then off to college. So best of luck
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: One player left Baker High School six foot two oh
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: one running back and linebacker.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: It is at number twenty four, Dylan Moa. And what
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: do you know? I played with his dad too. What
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: are the odds? Yeah? Yeah, his dad was a year
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: younger than me actually, but heck of a and a great,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: great guy, Dylan Moa. You know, I mean we've been
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: talking about him a long time. Out of all these kids,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's the one that played the most on
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: that state championship run. Uh you know he started at
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: middle what's that did he block that kick? He's the
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: one that blocked that kicks right, and you went, you
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: went and talked to him right after that. Yeah, why
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: did you do that? I don't know.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because you were saying he moved over to
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: the side. Yeah, at the very last second, just went
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: just barely to his right, hopped around one gap and
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: put him right in the perfect spot.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah, and he uh, you know, he he
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: started both ways on that team. As a sophomore, started
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: a tight end and started at middle linebacker, and and
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: then going into his junior year, I you know, I was,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I remember talking to coach up and he'll
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, he's moving to fullback. He's a
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: natural fullback. We just needed at best eleven on the field,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: and so I was like, oh okay, And right off
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: the bat, I mean he was just making plays and
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: he never stopped offensively, but defensively too. I mean a
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: three year starter at inside linebacker. Uh you know, I
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: mean he was there was nothing super flashy, but he
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: just always made the play. He was an All Conference
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: first team linebacker this year. He was an All Conference
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: first team running back as a junior. You know, did
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: it on both sides of the ball for a long
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: time and was it has been a staple of Mount
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Baker football, you know, these last few years. I mean
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: there's you know, there's waves of MOA's. I mean you
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: go back to all you know, the Grandpa Ron Moa
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: back in the you know, the late sixties and when
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: they won the league championship in nineteen sixty nine and
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: it was the undefeated season, and you know, and it
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: was the last time they had a true undefeated season
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: Baker did, you know, like going off because there was
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: no state playoffs back then. And and then the next
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: and then he had kids, and it was you know,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: the Mason and Brent and Clinton and then they have kids,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: and you see all these other Moas and it just
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: kind of keeps going and and there've all been great
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: football players, and Dylan is you know, I Dylan my
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: be the best out of all of them. It's it's
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: tough to say, but boy, he's really good. Two hundred
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: and seventy four carries, one five hundred and ninety one
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: yards and twenty five touchdowns. Also had thirteen catches for
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty four yards, a lot of those
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: coming when he was playing tight end. Four kickoff returns
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: for nineteen yards, and then on defense, one hundred and
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: ninety one tackles, fourteen and a half tackles for loss,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: thirteen passes broken up. I love that you go double
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: digits and tackles for loss and passes defended. You're all
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: over the field. Three forced fumbles, two sacks, a fumble recovery,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: and he intercepted three passes that he returned for thirty
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: two yards. Just a complete football player. Great, great player
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be really tough to tough to replace on
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. I'm pretty sure his cousin
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Camden is up for it. Tyler.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: That's it for Mount Baker. Anything to say before we
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: move on and finish it off with Seahom, Yeah, just that.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: It's it's been kind of an up and down for
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: these guys. You know, as sophomores they get all the
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: way state title game. As juniors, it was a really
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: rough season, but they kind of righted the ship this
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: year with that round of thirty two game against Zillah
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: that they went on the road and almost one. So
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I really like this group. I think they're going to
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: be remembered for their resiliency and kind of setting up
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: that next class.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Alrighty, let's talk see home Mariner seniors, Tyler. And not
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: a huge senior class, another one where we've only got
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: eleven guys, but there is some serious players here. Let
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: me tell you a lot of guys that I'm looking
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: at here, Tyler. We picked some of these guys for
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: fantasy quite a few times as a matter of fact, one, two, three,
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: probably four or five and I think even six of
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: them we picked just this season alone. So lots to
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: talk about here. We will start with five eleven one
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: sixty wide receiver and corner number eight, Damian Watson.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, familiar last name there, cousin of Andre. Had a
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: twenty five yard catch early in the season, but played
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: played more on defense, especially late in the year. There
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: were some injuries, got a lot of playing time at corner,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: then had nine and a half tackles, had one forced
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: fumble as well. You know that's tough. I mean, you're
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: you know, you're known as uh as Andre's cousin. But boy,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: he's he's a heck of a player and and uh
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: you know, pretty good, pretty good size on the outside
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: as as a corner, and you know he's not afraid
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: to mix it up in there on special teams all
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: the time, and and uh and not you know, like
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I said, not afraid to put his head in there
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: and make some plays. And I like I love seeing that,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: especially like on kickoffs and stuff like that.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: Next up, six foot one point eighty tight end, defensive
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: end and linebacker.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: It's number nine Cooper McAtee. Yeah, he's been really fun
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: to watch. You know. As a junior, he he got
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the starting nod as an inside linebacker and and he
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: did pretty good job. Him and Carl Bock together kind
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: of teamed up. And then this year got moved a
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: defensive end and was really tearing it apart. Early on
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: in the year, did some big time things, had a
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: big game against Marysville Pilchuck, and then you know, when
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: they had so many injuries on that defensive side of
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: the ball, I mean, it was just it was just
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: crazy where they had to move, They had to shuffle
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: guys around and still find a way to you know,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: put a good team out there. And they ended up
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: moving him to linebacker again, and he was just kind
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: of going wherever they needed him. Really really strong, thick,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: physical kid that's you know that plays hard but he
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: really came came together as a tight end, especially near
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the end of the year, as a big time weapon.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could double team Andre Watson. That leaves
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: the middle of the field open quite a bit, and
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: boy there, you know, they would pick their spots. You know,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: this is when we can go to Cooper probably and
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: then he would have these big plays and you know
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: that would like thirty forty yard catches, you know, and
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: it would flip the and or get them in the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: red zone. And it was just it was really really
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: cool to see because I know how hard he works
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: and how you know, he was getting rewarded now as
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: a senior and finished his career with nineteen catches for
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty one yards and two touchdowns. Also
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: had seventy three tackles, eight tackles for loss, and two sacks. Yeah,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: just really really blossomed as a senior and really put
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: on a show for the fans.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Next up, five nine, one eighty five linebacker. It's number ten,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: Carl Bach.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the tackling machine. Yeah means I know I picked
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: him a few times. Yes, He's just a guy that
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you could just pencil in seven at least seven or
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: eight tackles every single game. I mean, he's just there
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: are certain guys that you kind of just go, how
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: do they how do they do it? Like I remember
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Gauge Baits at Lyndon. It was just like, how is
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: heat in on so many tackles. There's just certain guys
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: that can read things better. They can look at the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: guards or they can get in between guys. They're really
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: good tacklers, they're strong instincts, all that stuff. And he's
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: got he's got all those things. I mean last year
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: he played with a really bad injury most of the
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: year and I didn't know it until his senior year.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just like, man, like really like he
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: was amazing. He had like, you know, eighty tackles or
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: something like that. He played it with an injured back.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I had no idea and and uh, those
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: kind of things are things that will stick with me
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: and are really interesting because then you really learn about
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: these kids and what they go through and how you
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: have to keep fighting and be there for your team.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: And in like this year, I mean, man, there were
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: so many guys that were injured, especially on the defensive
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, but he was always that rock
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: in the middle that you could depend on. One hundred
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: and sixty two tackles in his career, six tackles for lost,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: four sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. Great,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: great career for him.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Next up five eleven, one sixty five wide receiver, safety
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: and kicker Number eleven.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Grady Evans, Yeah, one of my one of my favorites
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: for sure. You know, grew up as a quarterback, I believe,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: and they did have a play as a junior where
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: they did a double pass and he completed a thirty
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: four yard pass and his only pass attempt of his career.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: But I think I think as sophomore year, like it
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: was crazy because he was the backup quarterback to Nolan Wright,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: who was a freshman at the time, and I remember
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: him coming in late in the game and taking some
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: snaps and handing off to Solomon McAllister against Blaine and
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown, and it was just kind of like, oh,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: this is the future. But I was like, no, it'll
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: never be the future for him at quarterback because the
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: kid below him or ahead of him is younger than him.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: And so he found a spot as a receiver and
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: did really well, did awesome this year defensively as a safety,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: led the team and tied for the county league with
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: interceptions this year with four of them. And you could
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: make an argument that he's the best kicker that's ever
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: come out of Sea Home. He's he's he was like
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: three extra points away from the most extra points in
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: school history, but he has the most field goals with ten.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's pretty cool. I mean, they had
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: a kicker back in the seventies, koot Nikoff I think
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: is his name, and he went on I believed to
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: punt at you dub. And remember they had Sam Allard
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: who was a kicker and he went and kicked somewhere.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was Western or was he
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: also punted at you dub or something like that. But
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: they've had some good guys. But man, he's he's he's
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: right up there, just cool under pressure with the field goals.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Really loved that, just love seeing that. But he would
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: have big catches in big moments as well. Sixteen receptions
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: for two hundred and thirty one yards and three touchdowns.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: He got the thirty four yard completion, five kickoff returns
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: for fifty seven yards and then on defense fifty four
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: and a half tackles, five passes broken up, one tackle
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: for loss, four interceptions. Like I said earlier that he
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: returned for forty one yards and two fumble recoveries. Oh
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: and by the way, he kicked eighty seven extra points
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: and ten field goals. So what a weapon. And I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: know coach Young loved having that, just as you know,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: you get inside the twenty and you're like, okay, we're
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: gonna score because no matter what, you know, we got Evans,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: you know. And he he would go out there and
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't keep track of missed field goals,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: but I don't remember him missing very much at all.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: I remember when he would go out there, it would
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: be made. And that's such a luxury to have. At
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: the high school level.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: Five ten, one fifty wide receiver and defensive back. It's
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: number fourteen the Kyle and there.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is a kid that you know was
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: a backup defensive back would go in there and play
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't remember him playing any offense,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: but I remember him coming in and playing some special teams,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: playing some corner, some safety, and he got a couple
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: of tackles. There was a few games late in the year.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: I mean they were you know, they were playing a
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: lot of seniors. He got into that game against tom
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Water and that's what you like to see, I think,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how long he's been playing football.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen him around too much. But it's just
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: awesome to be a part of the program. And you know,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: you can always say you were part of what you
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: could arguably say is the best Sea home team ever.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: You know, that got that got to the quarters and
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: and it lost to what, you know, people could be
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: saying it would be the eventual state champions. So really
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: really uh awesome thing for a young man like that. Yeah,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: a team that just ran Archbishop Murphy right out of
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: the building. The other night. Yeah, I was talking to
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: somebody at a basketball game. They were showing me the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: score and I was like, I go, yeah, those are
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: two teams that are mirror images. But that's Coke and
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: against diet Coke. Archbishop just doesn't have enough gullies.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, that's Coke zero. I mean that's
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: just yeah right. Yeah. Five Next up Tyler five ten
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: one seventy five running back linebackers number thirty two. Definitely
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: not Coke zero here. This is Solomon McAllister.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this kid is a man of very
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: few words, is very quiet, you know, I he's just
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: but boy, he's one of those guys that flips the
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: switch when he's on the field. I mean, he is
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: so fun to watch run the football. And when I
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: first saw him as a sophomore, that was like, Oh,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be kind of like that scat back you
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: know when they when they you know, when they get
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: you know, coming up, like he'll be kind of like
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: the lightning to somebody's thunder. And then I thought it
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: might be Fisher Hall because they were both kind of
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: running backs, and junior year that was kind of what
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: it was like. And senior year it was like, no,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: he's the guy. He's he is the lightning and the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: thunder like, and he was delivering the thunder at times.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: He got he just got thicker, bigger, stronger, still maintain
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: that speed, maybe even got a little faster, and then
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: boy he got nasty on the defensive side. At the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: end of the year, you know you're missing Fisher Hall.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: You know you're missing You're missing linebackers and stuff like that,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: and he would come in at linebacker and he was awesome.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I mean there were games where he'd be up there
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: near the lead and tackles along with Carl Bach and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: those guys. But yeah, I just just you know, Dependable
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: will put up yards and we'll fight for every single
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: yard that he gets. Two hundred and eight carries for
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and eighty five yards and six touchdowns, three
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: catches for twenty three yards, He had a twelve yard
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: kickoff return, and then a defense forty four and half tackles,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: two and a half tackles for loss, a one quarterback sack,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: and two forced fumbles. Just you know, a guy that
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I loved watching play. And again next year, you know
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: who's it gonna be in that main spot running the
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: ball is? They're gonna be Nicky Smith. Uh, you know
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: it's the There's another kid too. They Sawyer Woods. I
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: believe he got hurt about you know, a couple of
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: games into the season. So those are gonna be the
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: two guys that are gonna be kind of going after that spot.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be left behind by Solomon mcmackawister as a
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: running back and and it's gonna be tough shoes to fill.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: Six two, two hundred pounds. He's a tackle sumber fifty
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: four Colin Huntley.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: It's been some good huntings over the years. It's the same.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: I recognized that last name. Yeah, and and he was
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: just that guy that you could plug in a right
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: tackle and you're like, boom good. And he never had
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: to worry about anything. Not huge, but big enough, strong
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: enough to get the job done. And uh, you know,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: played played a little bit, you know, as a junior,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: but was very very solid as a senior. You know,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I mean he was in there constantly. There was a
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: little bit of movement, not a ton. I know in
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. I remember Coach Young was
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: saying like even at the at the the jam Marie,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: they were just like, you know, we're going to try
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of things on the offensive line. We know
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: a couple of guys that are secured in spots, but
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: we got to try a few things. I think he
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: was a guy that he knew where we know what
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: we got in him. We don't need to worry about that.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: And so you know, he was able to go in
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: and play and he was their guy at right tackle
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: the rest of the.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: Year six ' three one to eighty tight end, defensive end.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: It's number eighty two Cohen Mathey.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he made a lot of plays on the defensive
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, which is and it was another
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: one of those guys where I keep hitting myself because
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: I had to keep looking down the roster and go
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: eighty two. Who is that? It's like, oh, Matthey, Like,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: why do I keep asking myself that question? I should
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: never ask myself that question more than twice. I think
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: I did like three or four times. I think I've
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: did it twice in the same game, which I just
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: I never I you know, And there's just some guys
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: that I for some reason, I don't connect the numbers
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: with them, and maybe I'm not doing the mathy correctly.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Hey, hey, whoa way, but uh, I'm
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: here all week. And but he yeah, he he made
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: some big time plays and in huge moments too. Kind
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: of undersized as far as you know, putting your hand
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: in the dirt, defensive end kind of guy, but rangey
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: and just kind of I would find ways to get
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: in between blockers. You know. Sometimes there's guys that play
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: like that that are kind of herky jerky a little bit,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: and they can find a way to get in between guys,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: and it's like, it's not it's not normal, it's not orthodox,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: you know. But he would he would, he would make plays,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: and that's all you could ask, right, Twenty five and
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, four tackles for loss, and I think
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: they were all in pretty big moments and a pass
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: knockdown at the line of scrimmage. Played a little bit
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: on t at tight end and double tight situation, stuff
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: like that, but made his presence as a defensive player.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Down to the final three. Here, Tyler, we've got six
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: foot one and eighty pounds running back and corner number one,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: Colby Chambers.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the few guys, when we talked about
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: it a few podcasts ago, guys that have over thirty
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: passes defended in their career. He ended with exactly thirty,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: which is really really impressive. A three year starter at corner. Yeah,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: it was interesting because offensively, I remember his sophomore year
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: he just played defense and then as a junior he
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: came in at receiver. I remember, like it was like
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: the second play of the game, he scored a touchdown
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: against Blaine and I was like, that's Cooby Chambers. He
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: just caught it like a sixty year touchdown. What's he
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: doing playing offense? A what am I talking to myself?
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: I'm asked myself a stupid question. The guy runs like
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: a four to six. Of course he should be playing offense.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: And then you know, he kind of played, he had
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: his moments stuff like that. And then this year I'm
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: watching and he's not playing any offense. I don't know
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: where he's running back, and I'm thinking, why is he
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: doing playing run back? He's a receiver, he's mostly known
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: as the core. And then he's like he could take
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: a counter and he was he kind of turned into
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: the lightning of McAllister's thunder a little bit. And it
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: was just like they would find specific run plays that
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: he'd be really good at and he could get outside
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: on the edge and he was really really cool to
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: see and he had some big time moments like that.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: But man shut down corner all day. That guy was
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: just awesome, just awesome, awesome to see and you know,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: there was no like dip in his game. I mean,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: he was reliable, really really fun to watch. I think
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: he had a little dinged up near the end there,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: which is tough, but tuughed it out, suited up, played
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: through it, and man, what a great, great career. Seems
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: like we've been talking about him for a long time too.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Ten catches one hundred and forty one yards and a touchdown,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: fourteen carries for ninety one yards and a touchdown, eleven
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: kickoff returns for one hundred and thirty nine yards, and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: then on defense five tackles, three tackles for lost, a
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: force fumble, two thumble recoveries, three interceptions, and a crazy
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: thirty passes broken up are defended. I mean, that's just
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: that's one of those numbers. I mean, it's him, Coriolone, Jaeger, Fife,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: and uh and then Joel Pears who graduated in two
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: thousand and one. So those are the only guys from
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: all the film I've watched that have at least thirty
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: passes broken up, And that's a that's a rare club,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: that is, Yeah, I mean a lot.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: That's that's one of those numbers that I have to
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: like sit there and process it for a second, like, yeah,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: what I mean, that's unbelievable, Tyler, Yeah, uh, six one, two, ten,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: running back linebacker number twenty two. A guy that I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: know I definitely picked a couple of times this year
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: for the fact that he had a ton of tackles,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: that is Fisher Hall.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been an interesting career for Fisher Hall. I
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: mean I saw him a little bit as a sophomore,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: and then as a junior he was more kind of
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: his presence was more known as like that just that
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: thumper back, you know, and they he wasn't going to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: break off a long run, but he would go like
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: six or seven yards up field and just collide with
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: somebody and he would maybe it would be the loudest
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: sound you heard all day. You know. It was one
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: of those kinds of like whoh like he was just
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: every time he was like I was a guy that
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: you would never want to tackle. And on defense he
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: was playing like defensive line. He was playing like nose tackle,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: which you see that a lot and guys that are
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: a little smaller, a little quicker, but very strong. And
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: this year they changed up their defense a little bit.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: They went from you know, they they were kind of
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: went from like a boy they used to run like
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: a three four and it kind of turned into almost
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: like a I don't want to say a four to four,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: but it was it was like a four to three,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: but you still had two inside linebackers, if that makes sense,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: you know, and like a four to three over, I
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: guess you would call it. And and he was moved
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: back to an inside linebacker, and it was like something
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: just went ding. Like it was perfect, because boy, it
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: was almost like every week he was leading the whole
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: county and tackles every single week. I mean every game
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: he was picking up double digits and tackles, picked up
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of them on kickoffs. I mean, he was
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: just just nasty on those kickoff you know, coverage teams,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: and there's I mean, I always think about it. I'm like,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: I could pick my ten guys I won on kickoff
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: and you know, and just have pick any any kicker
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: you want. I'll have these these ten and they will
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: go down and just you know, they'll make the tackle.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: And he'd be one of those guys I'd put on there.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: He was awesome. You know, the Andrew Monteze and the
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the Parker Williams there there, there's those guys
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: right that you just, oh, you love those guys on
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: kickoff coverage and fisher Hall was a tackling machine. I
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: you know, it was a nasty injury against Archbishop late
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: late in the season and and it was like an
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: elbow or shoulder or something and he just never forgot
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: to play again after that. And it's it stinks, but
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: that's that's football. And yeah, just loved watching him play.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: I love that was to be able to do that
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: joke with you when you picked him when you weren't
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: feeling good with the cough, and I was like, that
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: makes sense because that's what you would take either Fisherman's
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: friends or holes. And yeah, it just jumps out on film,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: you know, just one of those defensive guys that jumps
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: out on film. Eighty four carries for two in ninety
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: nine yards and a touchdown, and then defensively most of
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: it this year, one hundred and nine tackles, five tackles
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: for lost, two and a half sacks, three passes broken up,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. I love the
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: impact that he made. I wish he had another year.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's for sure. I wish he had another year
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: that he'd be fun to watch. Yeah, Tyler, if I
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: said to you, you could pick whoever the last player
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: is going to be. I think there probably would have
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: been four or five guys you would have really considered,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: and this guy's going to be one of them. And
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: he is, yep, the last one. We're going to talk about.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: Five ten and five pounds wide receiver, defensive back. It's
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: number seven. Andre oh Watson.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Oh wow. Heard a lot about him even in youth football.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: You know, there was those you know, uh, those Bellingham
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Knights teams. You know they were playing there was like
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: they won like a national championship or something like that,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: like playing over in Florida, and and uh, you know
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: for the for the youth football stuff. And he was
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: he was making plays back then. And and it was
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: just one of those guys that I kind of just
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: had in the back of my mind, like, you know,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: if I'm still doing this, I you know, I can't
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: wait till he's playing in high school. And I remember
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: going out to see EM's practice to take headshots and
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: stuff like that and kind of doing my thing. And
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: and and I had met his dad prior to that,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: because I remember we were talking about like trade and
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: scouting and stuff like that, and he was he had
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: coached a lot of those guys, and he was just like, oh, man,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: I love what you do. Walkin preps is great. This
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: is so cool. And and you know, he never ever
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: ever talked up his son, you know. And then I
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: was at practice and I was talking to him and
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: and then he goes, oh, by the way, this is
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: this is my son Andre and and he came. So
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: he come over and he shakes my hand. It's nice
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: to meet you, mister Anderson. And and and I was like,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, is that the same kid I saw
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: like out there? This is freshman year? Now, I was like,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: that same kid I saw out there like making all
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: these plays and stuff like that. I'm thinking this in
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: my head, you know, and I'm starting to kind of
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: put it together, like is this the same kid in
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: the youth football stuff that I heard about? And so
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: it's all kind of gelling together at this point. And
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: I remember as a freshman and he was really small.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: He's wearing number eighty one. You know. They had like
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: the two different quarterbacks they had Joe Van Sanga and
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: yeah and carsonef And it was like, you know, I
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: think he had like a couple of touchdown catches his
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: freshman year. And there was a few times where he'd
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: make catch the ball and make a cut and make
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: a guy miss, and I was like, ooh, this guy's
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: got some he's got some sizzle to his game. You know,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: he's bringing the juice, as they say. And so as
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: a sophomore, I go out to practice and he's just dominating.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: And there's guys that do that right freshman is sophomore year,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: they might grow three inches taller, they start filling out.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: And I was in awe at practice. I just couldn't
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: believe it. And I thought, you know, I probably picked
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: him for breakout player. And I just thought, this guy
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: is really gonna go off. And I think he had,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: like I don't know, he had like fifty or sixty
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: catches his sophomore year, and it didn't surprise me at all.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: He also had like seven interceptions, and he returned to
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: kickoff for a touchdown, returned to punt for a touchdown,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: and I think out of his seven interceptions, I think
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: he returned one or two of those for a touchdown.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: And he just had this crazy year. And I look
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: at the all conference stuff and there was nothing. I mean,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: I remember exactly where I was sitting in a parking
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: lot at a dentist office looking at the all conference
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: stuff and just going, are you kidding me? Like he
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: was dominant, like he probably led the league and catches
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: and interceptions and he had two returns for touchdowns punts
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: and kicks, and I just kind of thought, and that
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: was like the first time it really hit me where
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I went. I bet, I wonder if my I wonder
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: if my top one hundred list really can make a
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: difference as far as Okay, you didn't get any love here,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: but you're gonna get it here. And I've heard kids
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: over the years say, you know, oh I got I
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: don't mention cool. I wonder where I'm gonna get on
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: the top one hundred list, Like they don't care about that.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: They're really curious about the top one hundred list, and
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: that sometimes it feels like it puts a little pressure
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: on me, But I love that because it's a thing
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: that people know and it gets talked about. I mean,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: this will be I think the eighth one now that
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: I'm doing coming up, So it's become this thing that
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: people are used to, and I want it to be
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: an annual thing that people are excited about and get
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: ready for and you know, I think I had him, jeez,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: I might have had him like eleventh or twelfth as
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: a sophomore on the Top one hundred list. He was
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: co Sophomore of the Year. That was when I shook
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: his hand the next time, and I felt like he
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: just broke my hand, and I thought, man, he's got
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: strong hands. And then you know, his junior year, like
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: halfway through his junior he's breaking all the school records
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: for career stuff. And I was like, well, yeah, I
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: mean they haven't had it. They don't know. It was
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: like one of the there wasn't that many schools that
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: might have been the only one that didn't have a
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: guy that had over one hundred catches in the career.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't think Elsie's had a guy that had
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: over one hundred catches in his career, although Boyce Robertson
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: will do that next year. And I but but he's
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: doing it halfway through his junior year, you know. And
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: I remember, you know, I kind of brought it over
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: to Jim bring in the radio set and I said, hey,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: he just became the all schools all time leading. He's like, oh,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: he said it on the air, and I was like, okay, cool.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: There was a day game against Anna Chordus on Saturday,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: and and I and I just kind of kept, you know,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: and I and I start looking like, is he gonna
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: asked like the career stuff, like like all time stuff
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: like walking county stuff. It's like man Brady Bomber and
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Tripp and Jordan Wittenberg and Ben Peterson and Sack Vist.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are like the guys like is
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: he I mean, he's really good, but is he like
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: one of those guys? Is he that good? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: And I come into this year, I was like, okay, yeah,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: he's probably gonna he needs like forty something catches, so
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: he's probably gonna do it this. That's cool, Okay, great, Well,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: like halfway through the year, he just like some change
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: and he I think he's just smelling blood.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: Oh you know what it was. You're you're talking about
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: this year, right, Yeah? It was when you and I
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: started going, I don't know if he's gonna get to
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: these numbers, and he was like, well, I'm gonna show
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: these idiots what's up. And yeah, I mean, like, do
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: you remember having that conversation at one point, we were like,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: he's got a long ways to go to catch this,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: and he's like, I don't remember what it was like
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: yards and maybe touchdowns or something, and yeah, it was
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: like we we kind of put it out there like
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know that he's gonna get there. And about
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: two weeks later you went, I think I think we
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: hadn't even started recording it. You were like, hey, just
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: so you know, like he might get.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: There, Like like we we kind of looked like idiots
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: at the moment. Yeah, it was really weird because it
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, the catches, I could see the yards,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: it'll be really close. The touchdowns there's no chance. Yeah,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what it looked like. And I
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: mean then that that's when it happened. So like the
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: game against Burlington, you know, nine catches for one sixty six,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns, then he goes eleven for one seventy in
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, then he goes nine for one fifty nine
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: in a touchdown, and then there was that rainy, rainy game,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: ants belling him. He only has three catches, but he
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: scores two touchdowns in him for and he has sixty
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: three yards and then he and then against squalkm five
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: catches for eighty four yards, three more touchdowns, Archbishop Murphy
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: twelve for two seventy seven and two touchdowns, and then
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: we're like, well, you can't do better than that. Then
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: he goes fIF team for three forty five and four touchdowns.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: Then he goes to State seven for eighty two and
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, and then his final game ten for ninety
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: two in a touchdown. He caught a touchdown pass in
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: every single game this year. Wow, that's incredible.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: It is, especially because at some point the defenses go
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: all right, we just have to stop that guy.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: Right, And you know, the one record that he does
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: not hold really in the county is touchdown catches in
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: the game, which is funny because the guy who holds it, well,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: there's two guys now, but Josiah Westbrook, who you know,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: and he's been starting his own thing called Northwest Gems
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: yep and so, and he goes around and he takes
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: video and then he did like his first like sit
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: down like hang out like barbershop interview, and his first
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: guest was Andre Watson. And I told I told Josiah
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: at a game, I was like, I was like, you know.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: I go, yeah, I knew he knew about Andre and
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: he's taking videos and stuff like that, and I said,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the one record, I don't think he's gonna
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: get his yours. And he goes, what's that? And I
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: was like, touchdown catches in the game. He's like, oh, man,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: I remember that against the Canadian team he goes against.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: He goes, we lost thirty five thirty four and he
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: caught all the touchdowns. Oh my lord. Yeah, And that
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: was when he was playing for Blaine and his sophomore year.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: But but I mean, I mean, he it's it's nuts.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: I mean his senior year alone, he he caught one
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: hundred passes for one thousand, six hundred and seven yards
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: and twenty four touchdowns. So all three of those are
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Wakam County records by a landslide, Like we're talking like
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: by more like by more than ten catches, by more
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: than one hundred and fifty yards, by more than three
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: to four touchdowns. So he breaks all those records in
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: just for a year. For a career. We were talking
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: about like catches will probably get yards, will be really
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: close touchdowns, he won't get No. He smoked everybody again
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: because of the season he had, and by the way,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: he was named All Conference first team receiver the last
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: two years, so he kind of righted that shit. But
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: in his career, I'm gonna do the receiving stuff last
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: because it's ridiculous. But on defense, ninety one and a
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: half tackles, six and a half tackles for lost, four
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: forced fumbles, which is pretty impressive for a corner. Ten
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: passes broken up, thirteen interceptions that it returned one hundred
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: and seventy one yards, and two touchdowns, and he had
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: two fumble recoveries. Thirteen interceptions, that's a pretty big number.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: I think the Walkin County record is seventeen by Ryan Vandist,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: and I believe the school record for Seahome is fourteen
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: by Jay Trevier and Paul Lockhart. So he was just
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: won away from those punt returns nineteen punt returns for
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown. Kickoff returns
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: forty one kickoff returns for nine hundred and seventeen yards
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: in a touchdown. We talked about Brady Brulin getting over
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: nine hundred yards. Oh, by the way, so did Andre Watson.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: He went over nine hundred yards. He did carry the
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: ball nineteen times for seventy five yards too. Sometimes you
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: don't just end around or even just putting him in
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: the backfield and just trying it out. But here you go.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: In his career, two hundred and twenty catches. The previous
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: record was one hundred and sixty three three thousand, two
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty yards. The previous record was let me
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: see here, filling time, filling time, It was like twenty
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: seven hundred or something like their twenty eight eight hundred.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: So he got that by like four hundred yards. And
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: that was the one where like he might get it,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: he might get it at the very end if to
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: make a big run. In the playoffs, it was twenty
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: eight seventy seven. And then he ended up with forty
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: seven receiving touchdowns. The record was forty. The guy who
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: was who was who was after him was thirty. So
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: that's why I thought like, like, and that's Westbrook has thirty,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: And when Mitchell Tripp has forty, I'm like, okay, well
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: he won't get forty. That's a lot. He ended up
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: with forty seven, I mean, and he's and that the
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: records that he puts you know, just the school records,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: Like when you just look at just the school stuff,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: like he's like tripling the second place guys, you know,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: and all these numbers. I mean, it's it's pretty it's
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive. I did see that he got an offer
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: just the other day. I'm trying to remember who it was.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: He put it on Instagram or on Twitter, but I
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: think it was Lewis and Clark or Lower Columbia whatever
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: else is probably Lewis and Clark. Okay. So but man,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: he's a guy who I could see going to his
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: school like that and then like just tearing it up
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: and then other big schools will be like who's that
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: you know? And then you go and take take a chance.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so I mean, you know what I mean,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Like there's the guys like that. We've seen so many
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: walking couch County guys like that that have gone that
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: route and then they like, can they get the transfer
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: to the right school and he does, Okay, great, great,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: so good for him. So that's I mean, yeah, he's
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: just he's too productive. He's he's so darn good and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: I know, I mean, and he'll you know, his straight
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: ahead speed is not ideal for his size, he's still
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: state champion with the with the relay team he was
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: on as you know, as in track exactly. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: he's he's fast. He's just he's not running a four
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: to four, but he's he's fast. But he catches everything.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: He refuses to go down, and he is uh, he's
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: just he's a football junkie, you know. And so I'm
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: really excited that there's gonna be options, and I really
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: hope that he takes advantage of him because he is
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: he's electric man. And it's just weird because I remember,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: like I said, but I shook his hand his freshman year,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of the crazy thing when you know,
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: when you and I do this for so long, you
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: start realizing, like you're talking about guys that you covered
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: now they're coaching, and it's just like yeah, it's like yeah,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's weird. I mean, wait till you start
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: covering guys that you played with their dads. You know,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: it's just it's a it's just a weird, weird thing.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: And and but it is cool, but it's kind of
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: like I know, I know, you're not covering guys anymore.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: I guess it's just say.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: But actually there I have had that where yeah, Steve
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: Cook played at at one Eta and then his son
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: played at Sumner and Steve played at Wazoo, and I
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: remember that was the first time where it was.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, okay, weird. Yeah, you're kind of like dang. Yeah.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: For me, it was the Todd Hunter to Hunter the
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: court Lever kids. Yeah, you know, because I went to
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: school with their mom and it was just like, really like,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: there's already these kids here here. That's crazy. So yeah,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: it's just weird how that happens, you know.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, Tyler, I told you I was going to fact
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: check you on everything I can. Yeah, going back see
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: Home twenty twenty two football preview breakout player Andre Watson.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: He catches everything, and I mean everything in all caps.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: The great part also is that he can make you
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: miss once he catches the ball. His hard work and
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: dedication to the sport of football is starting to rep rewards.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Other teams will learn about him very quickly, and they
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: did for the next three years basically.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: I think I think at that point he had seven
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: catches and firsty.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is yeah, Tyler, You're four guys like the
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: futured four that year. Yeah, Alden Jacobs, who I believe
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: could be wrong, Cascadia Cougar, Alden Jacobs, H Braddick Duckworth
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: who we talked about him a lot, Max Mallow who yeah,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, phenomenal player. And then our guy, one
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: of the all time favorites for Walkome Preps here or
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: at least on the podcast, Tommy Funk.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: Tom Yeah, oh my goodness, I mean think about that.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: That was his senior year, you know what I mean,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: and we used to play we Got the Funk, you
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, yeah, just funny, funny to
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: look back on some of this stuff every now and then, which,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: by the way, is really easy to do. If anybody
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: ever gets really bored, you can just go over here
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: and start clicking on things on the side of the website.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty cool to look back the statistical
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: leaders last season of returning players and see some of
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: these names and you're.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: Just like, wow, I totally forgot about that.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: How about this, Tyler, If I told you returning that
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: season you had Tommy Funk, Carson ne f Lucas Ortega,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: Max Mallow, and one other guy with a rushing tempt.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, that would have been in.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: The twenty twenty one season, right he had he had
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: one carry for five yards?
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: Was it Watson? It was Braddock Duckworth. Oh wow, I
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: think that was on a fake punt.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: And by the way, you are right Watson seven catches,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: one hundred and four yards and one touchdown as a freshman.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, crazy.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so much to talk about with that
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: young man. And uh, I mean a few of these
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: guys and you know what, Tyler next year when we
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: get around to this, could do the same thing with
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: with Nolan Wright.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Yeah, he's got a chance. He's got it.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put any pressure on him, obviously,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he's got a chance to break all the
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: passing records in Walking County, which most of them are
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: held by Simon Burquette.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: If Watson was a year younger, he'd probably destroy all
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but there's gonna be weapons, I mean, the quiggle.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. Yeah, Yeah, there's gonna be guys
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: out there. They returned a lot of their line, so yeah,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: we'll be we'll see Carter Duckworth, he gets healthy again,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: gets out there, he'll have his guys.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: But uh, he's into basketball already, right, who's at Nolan right?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: Like he's yeah, Tyler, you've seen all the film and
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: everything there.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: Has he done a windmill dunk? Yet? Not? Not no,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: not in a game or anything. But I tell you what,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: nobody gets up higher on a jump shot and it's
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: not even close. I love guys like that, and you
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: don't see that very often in high school. You see
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of the guys that just kind of jump
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: and shoot at the same time at the high school level.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: But like it's crazy because like he like jumps and
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: like hangs and then shoots at the top of his jump.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: But it's like, whoa that looks different? Like Wyatt Stephan
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: was like that with Bellingham.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: You know, I went to all those games last year basketball,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: you know with Bothel now that I'm announcing games and stuff.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: There was a kid, I think his name was Blake
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: Forrest from Mount Sigh. He was the only one all
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: year that I saw do what you're talking about. There
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: was there was guys that would kind of do it,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: and there's guys that would do it on occasions that
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: dude did it every single time where it was like
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: it was like lift off and then he would hang
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: for a half a second and then throw up the
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: shot and it was like whoa, Like his ability to
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 2: get up was just insane. And then he like didn't
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: have any offers and I'm like, this guy's leading there.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: He led his team to a state championship, and I'm
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: just like what in the world, Like the guy was
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: totally overlooked, but it was crazy like the way that
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: he did that, because it's like not many guys have
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: that spring to be able.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: To pull that. It stands out when you see it
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: in person, especial at the high school level. And yeah,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: no one's been doing that since his freshman year for Seahome.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: Now a junior and he's gonna be leading this team
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it and if you know a
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: few days with this, uh yeah, with the basketball preview,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: but it's.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: A matter of fact, anybody listening, it's literally gonna be
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, so.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So it's uh, it's it's gonna be a
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: reference i think for the Mariners just because they graduated
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys and then the two main guys
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: they were expecting to have down low both at football injuries,
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: so it's gonna be it's gonna be the Nolan Wright
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: show and he but good thing is that he's a
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: point guard, so he can get other guys involved and
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. But we'll save that for Sunday.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: Are we done? I think we're good.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: Nothing else left to say. I guess we do want
• 1:36:24
