  Speaker 1: those Archbishop Murphys and Elmas of the world kind of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: took care of that. But we'll get to that later.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: But othern that doing doing all right? Yeah?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Pretty I don't know how to say it. Kind of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a weird couple of days there. It almost seemed like,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you know, we're just kind of like boom boom boom,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden it's like, okay, well that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: eliminated a lot of people.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: That being said, how other we need to give a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: thank you to Kylie mcvee the Third Basement sophomore Third
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Basement from Linden for the intro. Yeah, we'll talk about
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the Lions here in a little bit. They are headed
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to the state tournament, so we will talk about them.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, even if they weren't, I guess we'd talked
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: about them losing, which wouldn't be a good thing, but
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we would have. That being said, Tyler, let's talk really
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: quickly about sponsorships. How can somebody get involved and what
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: would you say or maybe the first couple pressing needs
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: if you will. As far as something to sponsor.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Well, definitely the top fifty list for baseball and fast pitch,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: those are still open. Those usually start, you know, being
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: announced less than a week after the final game or
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: after the final team has been eliminated. So just depending
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on how far teams go. Obviously for fast pitch, this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: upcoming weekend will be it no matter what Baseball, there's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: only one one team left. It just depends on how
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: far they go. So we'll see how and I try
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to I try to line them up at the same time,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: so you know, you'll get two a day from each sport,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: so it'll be four posts a day. And uh yeah,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: so that is those are still available. I haven't reached
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: out to people who I think might be interested in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: doing it. I'm just kind of leaving it open if
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: anyone wants to jump in it. If I don't hear
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: from anybody by a certain time, I don't know if
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I want to give a deadline just yet, but by
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a certain time tomorrow, yeah, right then I'm going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: reach out to a few different you know, sponsors that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I already have that will probably show interest. So but
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: those are the big things right now, and those always get,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you know, huge numbers. It's fun. You click on the

  Speaker 2: seven golfers from the county that we'll be taking part, Tyler, Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And the boys one A there will be seven, four
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of them from Meridian. First one team off wallby Matthew
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Blankenberg of Meridian at seven oh nine. He won the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: district championship by one stroke over older brother Daniel, So,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: so congratulations to him. Yeah, the younger one one on
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: this on this one so and so he yeah, so
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he's team up at seven oh nine. Daniel Blankenberg of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Tea off at seven twenty seven, so pretty close to there.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Nathan Larson of Meridian at eight thirty, Peyton Abedia of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker at eight fifty seven, Michael Deyong of Lynnon
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Christian at nine fifteen, Corey Olney our guy from Nukxack
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Valley at nine twenty four, and Riiker Havlant of Meridian
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at nine forty two. So yeah, seven golfers from Walkin County,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: UH will be competing. And I'm pretty excited about this
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: because you know, I have the app. You know I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: had to pay the extra for the postseason and everything,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: but I'm excited to kind of follow along kind of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: masters style, you know, and uh, and see how this goes,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because I think it's you know, after day one, you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I don't I'm sure they'll make There'll be a cut
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: line somewhere, but I don't know if it's an automatic
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: half the golfers or if there's a specific stroke limit
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but just hoping that, you know, a bunch
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of them get in and go to the second day,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and I think Meridian has a real shot here at
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: winning a team title, So that would be that would
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: be really cool. That's a really good question. I don't
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: know about.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I'm looking it up right now to see, like how
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: many where was the cut last year?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, and.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: It was thirty three golfers made the cut to move
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: on to the next round, and on the first day
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the high was eighty eight and the next guy was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: eighty nine. So I don't know if that's I don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: know how many golfers were there the first day?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Do you do you have that? Yeah, it's I mean,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it's a lot more. It's I don't know it is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it sixty six or is it like eighty something? Because
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm curious about. No, it's like it's like fifty well, okay,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so it's not a half thing. There is a there
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is a line there probably.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Ten eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty five,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: twenty six golfers that did not make the cut in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: thirty three that did, okay, so that would be so
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's probably half and half. It's yeah, got to be
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: more of a you know, this is your number eight.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Well, and there was three or four golfers that were
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: at eighty eight one two, three, four, four golfers at
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: eighty eight. The interesting thing is the guy that finished
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: seventeenth actually shot in eighty eight on the first round
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in a seventy eight on the second round. Yeah, jumped
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: way up. That can happen. Yeah, that was that was
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in the two a's last year where Daniel Blankenberg won.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Oh and actually one yeah or yes, and then actually
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: there was one other kid too. So what did I
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: say twenty nine? So thirty so it's actually thirty and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: thirty three is what they had last year?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Is that? So they had sixty.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Three so it's right about the halfway point.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I guess it would.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I guess it would be the halfway point because the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: next group that shot eighty nine would take them over
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the halfway point, right.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So, and that's usually that's what I've seen in the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: past for some of these bigger things, is that they
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: do a cut. It's it's around the halfway or they
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: actually use that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I would assume it's the halfway point, and
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: then if there's yeah, if that is the exact middle
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and there's nobody you know, above, then they can do it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But if not, I guess they just kind of move
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: it down to the next number and then knock off
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: everybody else. So yeah, so that makes sense. But yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that is.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: What was I saying. That is one A.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So the one A state tournament out there at Liberty
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Lake Golf Course in Liberty Lake, Washington, which is actually
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: between Spokane and the Idaho border. And that's where we
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: can ask you where that was.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I wasn't familiar.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where the new school is out there. There's
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the new four A school or I think there's three
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: A Ridgeline High School. One of my good friends is
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: actually the head football coach there. He was at inner
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Lake and Garfield before. I think his wife got like
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a I think she got like a principal job out
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: there or something like that, I can't remember, and he goes,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: he goes. She makes way more money than I do,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: so we got to go wherever she wants to go. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: but yeah, that's one. A. Let's talk about the two
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: A boys state tournament that's at Riverside Golf Club in
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Shahalis and we've got three three young men competing there
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and three different high schools this time though, Tyler.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jack Stapleton of Lyndon teaming up at eight twenty,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Brennan Hall of squalk Hum at ten twenty, and Jackson
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Neva of Seahome at ten thirty. Not surprised about Stapleton
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and Niva. Brennan Hall getting that spot was great. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: think that was his best showing he had all year
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was at districts and which which gave him that ability
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to go to State, knocking off Evan Eisley, who has
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: been shooting great all year, but he was an alternate
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: for this. You know, he was just like a stroke away.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: If there were going to be three, I would have
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I would would have bet the house that it was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: going to be Stapleton, Niva, and Isisley. But Isley was
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was just one, you know, shot away. Brendan Hall gets
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in there from squalkumb. I think Hall is just a sophomore,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and so you know, if you can get a little
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: confidence with this and and keep going forward, that'd be
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a huge thing for the SQUALAKM golf program. But again,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like I said, not surprised about Neiva or Stapleton, both
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: guys that have kind of been up near that leader
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: board all season. I think Stapleton right Iver just read
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: around seventy nine, seventy eight and Neva read it about
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: eighty four. So yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I mean when you get to those higher you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Burlington I mean is loaded and I would not be
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: surprised at all Burlington wins the state the team title there.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I kind of look at some of these
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: teams in these individual events and I look at like
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Meridian Boys, I look at Burlington Boys, and I look
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: at Oak Harbor Girls. Those three teams I think have
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a real shot. Oak Harbor Girls is especially in three A,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: they just they just up and down that you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that whole team, they're really really good.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: That is two A boys, the three A boys, a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: couple of golfers from Ferndale. They will compete at the
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: it's called the Creek at qual Chan in Spokane, which
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: is kind of on the south side of Spokane, on
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: west southwest side. If I'm trying to say it right here,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it's not up on the hill, it's actually down below.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It's right along State Route or I think it's Highway
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: one ninety five if I remember right. But beautiful course
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: as far as I can remember. But they will compete there,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: and we got we got two golfers there, Tyler, Yeah, a.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Couple of guys from Ferndale, Travis Brocky the third team
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: off at eleven twenty and Gavin and Nabel, a Ferndale
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: team and off at eleven fifty. Head coach Chad Heidel
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: is a guy I've known since my goodness, probably forty years.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You know, we went to school together. He was a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: year younger than me, so I'm really rooting for him,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and just a great, great guy and and a wonderful
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: coach and is really super humble. I mean, we were
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: joking about the last time I saw, we were joking
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: about Baylor Larabie, and I was like, how much coaching
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: did you actually do with Baylor Larabie? And he just
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: laughed and goes, well, I drove him to the events,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, and anything from Baylor. Yeah, and the Baylor
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: went on to be the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he's doing some good things. But it was
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: just funny to hear that because I know how coach
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: title is and I know how humbly I was curious
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to see how his answer was going to be. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he's just like, you know, I just I just drove
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: him here and drove him there, and and uh, you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: know it. It was pretty funny. So I'm really rooting
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: for him, rooting for those guys. Of course, TV three
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: we've been you know, that's that's one of our guys that, uh,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: that we've been rooting on. And he's one of those
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: guys that when he gets hot, he he really can
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: get He can get kind of streaky, but if it's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: as if it's a good streak, he could put up
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a great, great score.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: So that'll be fun to see. That is the boys.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the girls and I'll tell you what,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: if you're a Meridian golf fan, just in general, you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: might as well just go hang out at Liberty Lake
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Golf Course over there, because we got four on the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: boys side, we got three more on the girls side,
• 13:15

  Speaker 1: have that kind of mindset as a golfer because she's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: like she said that nothing really rattle. Search doesn't get
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: too high or too low. And I said, that's a perfect,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you know, a way to go at it if you're golfing,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: because if you have a bad hole, you just wipe
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it and go to the next one. So I'm excited
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: for her too to put up put up a good score.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I think she definitely has the ability to do that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: She's always been in the top you know, three or
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: four in Walking County this this entire year. She's very,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: very consistent, so it doesn't surprise me that she plays
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: that way. And and uh so I'm really really excited
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: for all these girls and and to see what they
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: can do. It's gonna be it's gonna be great. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I think I think most of them, if not all
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of them, are underclassmen too, so so that that's that's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: that's really fun.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: The two way state tournament will be down at Tombwater
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Valley Golf Course. Uh down in Tumwater. Uh that one
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: has Uh what.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Are we got here?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: We got five golfers, including three from Linden.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah so uh Kinsley Rector who's who's been doing damage
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: all years. She'll be teeing off at eight twenty. Obviously
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: she's from Lyndon. Uh, Lucy Jones from London at eleven
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: fifty and Sydney Airis of London at twelve ten and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: then from Squall of Abigail Fife te's off at eleven forty.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: She had a great, great round in at districts as well. Uh,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, there was I was a little bit
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of a surprise there, but she shot really well. And
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Stella Hogan one of my favorites who I was talking
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: about a couple of weeks ago, or it might have
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: been last week, where she drives left handed and putts
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: right handed. She'll be teeing off at noon. She of course,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: she's the Seahome Mariner representative. So I'm I'm really excited
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: about this as well. And I don't know if you've
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: looked at Walkham Prep spotted lately, but the latest pictures
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of me with Stella Hogan and Lucy Jones given the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: thumbs up. So I must be a good luck charm
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: because both of them qualified for state, which is awesome.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And uh and then Kinsley Rector. I'm really excited to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: see if she can put together, you know, a top
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: ten finish, a top five finish. I think that she's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: just she's putting in the work and I'm really excited
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to see what she can do and and she has
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: all the tools to go forward, and it's it's it's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be. It's gonna be really exciting to kind of see,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you know, how she can manage it and go to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the second day, and if she could be at the
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: top of or near the top of that leader board,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that's going to really be a great thing for her.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Anybody headed down that way, Tyler, there's a place called
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Pellegrino's Italian Kitchen. I just want to throw that out there. Yeah, okay,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: it's well, the golf course is north of It's like
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: north Tumwaters. I mean, it might actually even be an Olympia.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: It's like on the edge of like Olympia and Tumwater.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: So it's a little further away from Maconi's. But there
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: is a I mean you know what.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: It's like, Whole one starts in tomb Water, but Whole
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: five wraps up an Olympia and then it comes back
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: into Tumbwater.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah kind of, I mean it very well could I mean, honestly,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I actually, you know, I might even take a look
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: at a map here in a few minutes just to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: see if that is the truth. But you never know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: you might actually be right, Tyler.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Let's talk three.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: A state tournament that is at Indian Canyon Golf course
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: in Spokane, Indian Canyon is kind of close to the airport. Actually,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much between the airport and downtown. As a
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, we're one ninety five which you would
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: take you would take to get to the creek at Qualcham,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: That one would at one ends at I ninety pretty
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: much right where the golf course is. So just one
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: golfer though from from Ferndel, headed out that way.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not surprised. Emily O'Toole Ferndale's been super consistent all year,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: shot a lot of times under one hundred, and you know,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: one of the top girl golfers in Walkham County and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: just a sophomore too. I think she went to State
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: last year as a freshman. She might have been an
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: alternate I but she might have. She might have went
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: as a freshman. I can't really remember, but I remember thinking, oh, man,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: she's gonna have a bright future. You know, she's she's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: she's pretty tall as a you know, good which gives
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: good I don't know how you want to explain it,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like good stretch on the drive. I mean she gets
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: all of it into that really good short game. So
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I I, you know, competing at that three d a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: level though, and just seeing those Oak Harbor golfers up close,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: they are fantastic. I'm I'm telling you right now. You
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: know there's there's a few teams right you know, I like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going all in, Like Lynden girls basketball, I'm going
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: all in. You know, the Brooks Twins of tennis for Linden.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going all in. The Old Harbor girls golf team.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Holy cow, they are amazing. But Emily O'Toole Ferndale, she's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: really really good. Hopefully she can come back with with
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a ribbon or a whatever they give to the top.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: So many golfers that'd be really cool. Plus you guys
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: has a couple more years to go, so that's really
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: exciting a lot of these golfers are are very young,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and so that's we're hopefully we're gonna see these names
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: for a while.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: That's boys and girls golf, Tyler. We will have all
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of that information. I'm sure you know what I might
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: even say we need to have like a what do
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you call them?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Like graphics?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Might you might even need to do that like after
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the first round, after the second round, you know what
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, like put up a leader board for your
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: for the Walkham County people.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: It'd be awesome to have the Walkham Preps app that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: people could download and you could you can see, you
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: can follow along with your favorite golfer and whatever. It'd
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: be awesome.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: You know how we basically have the Wrigley Field scoreboard,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you know for for the graphic. It wou'd be cool
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to have like the Masters scoreboard for a graphics for
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: green and white. Yeah, I mean, maybe the graphics guy
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: could get on that. I need to sleep tonight, all right, Tyler,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: let's talk about girls tennis. Uh, the state tournament is
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: coming up here, but Tyler, we the one thing we
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: kind of don't know is what the brackets look like
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: at the moment here.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's the matchups were not quite sure if
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: they finished the district tournament on Monday afternoon, I was
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: out there out at Sea Home High School got to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: see the championship matches, kind of new of some athletes
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that were already going to go to State. On the
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: singles side, rolanda Newcomb defeated Malia Hanks in a really
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: really even match. So congratulations to both of them and
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: rolanda Newcome of course of Lyndon Mallia Hanks of Belling.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: They will both be going to State and then Ada
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Walker of Squalkum is an alternate, so we don't know
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: yet if she will compete or she won't. We'll find out,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: uh once we have those brackets. And it was funny
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: because so Rolana Newcomb wins singles right the district championship.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Kinsley Rector won the district championship first for golf, for
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: girls golf. I go to district's fast pitch on Wednesday
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: night out at Benderfield and I see them with some
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: other Lenden girls, you know, laying down next to the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: on the first base line, you know, by by like
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: right field, and I was, I was, I was pretty close.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I was gonna walk by and say, wait a minute,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. You can't have all these district champions
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: here at the same time from different sports, and and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: it was just it was crazy to see both of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: them there, like you know what I mean, that was
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: just kind of cool, like they both of them just
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: won districts like a day ago or two days ago,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: so that was that was pretty cool. And then on
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the double side, Halle Brooks and Avery Brooks of London,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: they were very very dominant. Looked awesome. So they'll be
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: going to the state tournament. They defeated Ela Moro and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Kira Carlson of Bellingham last year's state champions uh, and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: they were they took second place two years ago. So
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: they're returning again in doubles competition. Really hoping that on
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the opposite side of the bracket from the Brooks Twins
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: of Lyndon, because that'd be really fun to see that rematch.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: If it could be for a state title, that'd be awesome.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And also Omillly Everett and Eva Ecdall of Seahome captured
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: third place in a really spirited match over Burlington Edison Duo. Uh.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: That went, you know, went a while. I didn't stay
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: for the whole thing, but that was that was going
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: for a while, and there was a lot of discussion
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: about in and out and was the ball in there
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the ball out and on a few different things. And
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm really proud of of Omily and Eva for
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: for sticking it out and playing really well and getting
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that getting that third spot for doubles. Also, we can't
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: forget that the boys tennis now comes back.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: So Tyler and so some actually just found the brackets
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: were just posted from what I can see here.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, do tell so we're break into programming.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we've got so here. So here's the thing.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Nord's from Tennis Center in Seattle at the University of Washington.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: They will be hosting the two a state tournament that
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: is Friday and Saturday. I am looking here and I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: see the Brooks. You say sisters twins.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: What are they? Yea and Brooks from London. Yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, it doesn't have a time, but they will be
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: playing a couple of girls from what does this look like?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Is it Bremerton? Who is this fife? A couple of
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: girls from five Berg and Vieo and then uh Ekdahl
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and Everett are going to face a couple of girls
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: from Bainbridge.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, Bambridge tennis is always really good. Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Bainbridge actually has two doubles teams in the state tournament.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: They are on opposite sides of the bracket. The Brooks
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: sisters and the two from Seahome are on the same
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: side of the bracket as or they're they're on the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: same side. They wouldn't meet until the semi finals, is
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: what it shows.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: The group from Bellingham, Morrow and Carlson.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Bellingham. That would be oh morew and Carlson. Oh they're
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: playing the other, uh, the other ones from from Bainbridge.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: So they're on the other side of the bracket.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: They're opposite of the Brooks twins.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, they are opposite of the Brooks.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: That was what I was opened. That was the big
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: thing I was opening for in this the whole thing.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, great, So you know, if all works out as
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: we would hope, there'd be three teams in the in
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the semi finals.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: That'd be awesome because Bainbridge is really good.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: On the one A side, New Come she is taken
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: on somebody from Olympic High School. I mean single single, Yeah,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: that's what I mean. Yeah, she has taken on somebody
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: from Olympic. And these don't have times, but they all
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: say the twenty third and then Hanks is taken on
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: somebody from Bainbridge. So we're not fans of Bainbridge this weekend, right,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: we got we gotta hope they don't do what Archbishop
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Murphy did. That is the girls the boys. This is
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: two A, No, this is three A. Did anybody from
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Ferndo get in? Nope, say does not appear so So
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the two A two A singles. Oops, that's girls. Where
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: are the boys? Here we go boys? Did we have
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: two A zach Chai? Oh he was an alternate? Okay,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Well he's listed as in now against somebody from Olympic okay.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: And Kaiser is taking on somebody from stillicom Killian Ferouki.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: What a cool name.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a really cool name.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Is that it? For?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: One for should be Jacob Jacob. So Jacob Kuhn is
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: taking on somebody from North Kitsap Indigo Gallagher zapf. What
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a cool name that one is. And Kuhn and Shai
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: are on the same side of the bracket. Kaiser is
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: on the other side. And then doubles.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: We got a doubles here, Yeah, just one team Christian
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Leon and Sean Lane. So Leon and Lane of Shome.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: They are taking on Devrees and Gillespie from North Kitsap
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: And yeah these none of these have times, but it
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: is double double elimination. So they will play two on
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Friday on Friday, no matter what, and if they win.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: So let's say you lose and then you win, you
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: end up playing again. So if you lose the first
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: one and then win, you actually end up playing a couple.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: So so yeah, yeah, actually, and even if you win,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I guess if you lose, as long as you win
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: and lose one, you would end up playing three. That's
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: the only way you could do it. But yeah, I
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: see them now.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: One A.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: There's still nothing for one A. Just throwing it out there.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I don't see anything on here for one A. It's
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the only one that doesn't have a link attached to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: it at the moment. But when I looked earlier, there
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: was no links attached to anything. If you go to
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the wiaa's tennis page and then you scroll all the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: way down to the bottom, it says brackets and there's
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: four A, three A, two A and then one B
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and two B, but no one A brackets at all.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: So don't really know what to say as far as
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: that goes. But but yeah, Tyler, I mean, there is
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff going on, and you will have
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: all of it on walk and perhaps and we will
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: talk talk about it about this time next week. So
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: lots of boys and girls stuff going on there as
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: far as tennis goes. And it was always weird how
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: boys tennis just goes away for a little while and
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: then oh, hey.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I saw the names and I'm like
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Jacob kun and Harley Kaiser. I was like, man, I
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: remember these guys. These guys were awesome. And then yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: it's it's just it's funny how that happens, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: because it's well and it does it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it works as far as golf goes,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: because in like at Bothel, we have one of the
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: best golfers in the state. He's actually in my food
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and nutrition class. And the funny thing is, I don't
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: even know who he was, and he's he's kind of
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: a goofball and he's actually really funny, but he's kind
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: of a goofball. And he said to me one day,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: he goes, well, I am one of the best golfers
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: in the state at my age, and I was like,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I started laughing and I go, wait, are you really
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and he's like yeah, and then and then the bell rang.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: So we left class and the next day when I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: looked it up, you know, it's like the next day
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: before he came into class, he comes walking in and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: I said, sir, I have to shake your hand.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I was I was not aware your game, like he
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: is he is really really good. So yeah, and I
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: think we've got maybe two golfers golf in this week there,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: but nice. But they participated in the fall, you know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: so they pick it up again and yeah. So it
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: was it was just funny because the way that he
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: presented it to me too, was well, I'm a golf instructor,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and I was like, what, why would you be a
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: golf instructor. He's like, well, one of the best in
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the state. At my age, I was like, huh, really
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: kind of an idiot. Now he's a really really funny kid.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: But h and actually he's a heck of a cook too. Surprisingly, Yeah, Tyler,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: that is we got boys and girls golf. We've got
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: girls and kind of boys tennis. We're bringing boys tennis
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: back is where we're at here, and so let's go
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: talk about a little track and field here, Tyler. Which
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: is brought to you by Staffer Insurance nineteen oh three
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Front Street in Lindon three six zero seven four six
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: eighty eight oh three and online at Staffer insurancetyff s
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: t A U F F E R Insurance dot com.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: The sub districts were this weekend, Tyler or last weekend,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I guess, which means the what do you call by
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: districts where we got District one, District two, whatever, however
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: they match up, and that is going on this week.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: So next week or the week after that would be
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the state tournament. Stuff one A out at Zephyl Stadium
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: in Yakama, two A three a down at Mountahoma High
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: School in Tacoma. That is the twenty ninth to the
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: thirty first, So a lot of action coming on here
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: as far as track and field goes. We do have
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: some new top times as far as the county goes,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: including a couple of school records here. So let's start
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: with the boys where we have a whole new name
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: here in the four hundred meters.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Tyler, Yeah, it's one of my favorites too. Ty Hoffman
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: of Squalicum loved watching him play basketball. Just of those
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: guys that's uh, you know, gonna do all get the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: offensive rebounds and do and can just run and run
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and run and never get tired. And so I love
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: watching him, you know run this year too out of
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: squalk him in the foreigner meters new time of fifty
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: point thirty nine, which I think is the second best
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: in school history. So only one runner ever has begun
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to sub fifty seconds, which is Andre Korbmacher, who I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: think just and he keeps winning all these things at
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Florida State as a hurdler, but you know, they throw
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: him in there every once in a while some of these
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: other events and he would just break school records. But
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: he's one of the best. He's one of the best
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: hurdlers in the in the world. And I'm you know,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: he's he's it's his times are crazy, but but yeah,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Ty Hoffman with the new time now at Squalakham, it
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: was cool to see a lot of these really good
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: times take place on Wednesday and Friday when these sub
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: districts because the weather was not great at all. But man,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: when you really need to get a certain time or
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you have to get a certain place to keep competing,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: some of these athletes really stepped up their game, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Ty Hoffman's one of them.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Now the four by one and four by four hundred
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: at relays, we've got two Linden teams. I feel like
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: we've had Linden names here a lot just kind of
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: shifting around, and four of these guys here put together
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: a new school record in the one hundred, and then
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: a couple other guys put together a pretty nice time
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: here in the four by four hundred.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the four by one hundred, James Ellis, Danny Bohler,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Conrad Timmer, and Lucas Lolgy had the new school record
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: now forty two point eight three seconds. Extremely impressive. You're right,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: there's been a there's been five or six names, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: they've jogged around at different spots and maybe they found
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the winner here because you break a school record and
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you might have something going there. And the four by
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: four hundred you got Conrad Timer, Jack Lovegren, Blaze Lovegren
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: and Danny Bohler with the best time in Walking County
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: now three minutes twenty eight point twenty six second. So
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: not the school record for that one, because I know,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I think I believe Blair Bomber and those guys had
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: one heck of a time. Uh, And so that one's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough to beat, but but still the best
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: in the county. And and yeah, those those Linden relays, man,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I tell you what it's Uh, they're really doing some
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: really good stuff and and so much improved just from
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a month and a half ago. You know, early in
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the season I saw batons dropped and different things, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: they've really ratcheted things up and peaking at the right time.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: We got a new long distance here and it is
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: a school record for Squalicum in the discus.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hayden Nelson of Squalkum. Uh, we're it has to
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: be the same Hayden Nelson that we recall from swimming.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: We we set his name all the time. I just
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I just don't usually put swimming and throwing the discus
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: in the same bread. You know, those are so kind
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: of opposites there almost. Yeah. So, but maybe he's got
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: like those you know, those those kind of hands that
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: like are really good for like fins, you know, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: they can hold onto the discus really well. And I know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a big, big strong kid one hundred and fifty nine
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: feet and four inches that is a whirl of a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: throw in the in the discus. You don't see, you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: once once you start getting over like one thirty one
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: thirty five, you start kind of piquing my interest and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the kind of start looking at things and looking at
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: records and looking at you know, histories and all that stuff.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: And he just kind of kept getting better and better
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: and better and better all year, and so congratulations to him.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: He's now the school record holder and looking to get
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: more here in the postseason.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: It's kind of funny when you think about it, Tyler,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: because the discus where you do what like a couple
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: of spins or whatever and you launch that thing, and
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the javelin where you run all this way, there's only
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a twenty foot difference basically. I mean it's he's twenty
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: one foot difference is from you know, from Hayden Nelson
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to Marcus Perez. As far as the as the distance
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: is going, I mean, that's a heck of a toss
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: there in the disc let me tell you, but that's
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: crazy high jump. We Cole Luke's has been up there
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: for a little bit and we now have a young
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: man from Linden that's joined him with the with a
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: six foot two jump. Tyler, My goodness, yeah.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: And Luke's had it at six one and he jumped
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: six to two at the subdistricts and as did as
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you were saying, Logan will height of Linden, So he
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: has now jumped six to two. There was boy, there's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: like five guys that were at six feet. Yeah, Cole
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Luke's got a six to one. I kind of had
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that joke about that where I was telling him, Hey,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: just go ahead and jump six one, so you can
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know by yourself. He goes into six two and
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: now Logan will Height joins him at six to two.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to both of them. They're gonna be you know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: they're gonna keep on competing and and you never know,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and the weather can get better. You get a little
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: adrenaline going. Boy, I've seen Cole Lukes do some things
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: on the basketball court where he gets airborne and it's
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive. So I'm really hoping he can he can
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: kind of push his game him and will hide as well.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: That'd be awesome to see it at the next At
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the next few weeks.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Let's drop over to the girls where the four by
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: one hundred. Not only did the boys break the school record,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: but the girls over at London also broke the school record.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's kind of the same group that's been
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: most of the year. readA vander May, Kiki York, Elizabeth
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Leland and Mia Ingeldau of Linden forty nine point four
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to seven. That's just barely nipping the school record from
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: what I have Anyways, I haven't. You know, sometimes people
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: alert me and say, hey, a school record was broken,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, and sometimes it's from what I've
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: gathered over the years. So I'm pretty sure these are
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: these are school records. But that's super impressive. And again
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: doing it at the right time. You know, going in,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you know the weather's gonna start getting nicer, the adrenaline
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: is gonna start flowing as you get into these into
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: these further tournaments of the postseason, and that's only gonna
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: be a good thing for those Linden Runners.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know who the relay coaches over there at London,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: but they deserve a raise. Let me tell you, my goodness.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Four by four hundred Tyler a new time, not a
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: school record for Sea Home, but it's a group of
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Sea Home girls that pick up the time in the county.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think they're like five or six seconds
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: ahead of the next time, So that's super impressive. Kira Reeves,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Madeline hill Amaya Reid and Kirsten Ludeman of Sea Home
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: four minutes and two point four or five seconds. That
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: is really burning it up. And again it's weird because
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I don't recall them running together all year. And there
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: there were a few runners, I mean, like Casey Brennan
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: is one of those guys where you and I both
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: know him from football. He's a speed demon. He hasn't
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: ran all year. He ran the hundred at the at
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the subdistricts and he took first place in the one
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: A and I think he's been you know, nursing an
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: injury all year. But you have to run in this
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to go on, and so he did, he won. He's
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: going on. So there could be a few of those
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: runners here where sometimes and they break it up in
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: two days so you don't have to run the you know,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: all these four events within like a forty five minute.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: You know, it makes it easier to do more, to
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: do more events at this meet because you know these
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: are the ones you're going to compete in the postseason.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: So you put your best you know team together here
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and see how them did that, and they end up
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: having the best time in the county.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Now in the district. In the district in the discus
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: and pole vault. We have two girls both from Lynnon
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Christian who they have been sitting on the leader board here,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: but they both put up new distances or I guess
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: one of the new distance won the new jump or
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: new height, and one of them is including a school record. Tyler,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: we got four school records this week.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Ellie van Lowe of Lennon Christian now one hundred
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and twenty three feet and three inches. I believe that's
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the second best distance in school history. She just keeps
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: bettering her distance in the discus. It's so easy to say, right,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: and and she is. What's amazing about her is, you
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: know a lot of times in the discus, especially on
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: the girls side, as you see some really big, strong
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: girls throwing that she she looks more like a sprinter,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: and so it's just it's all about form and just explosion.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: And it's really really interesting to see because she can
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: really when she gets it just right and it has
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the perfect spin on it and there's no wobble at all,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: it just shoots right out of her hand and it's
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: really really impressive to see. So Ellie Van Lowe of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Lynda Christian now one hundred and twenty three feet and
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: three inches in the discus, and Josie Hendrix, who I
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: think has broken her own school record at least four
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: or five times this year. She's now pulled vaulted eleven
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: feet five inches. I was there when she broke the
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: school record, I think the first or second time this year,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the first time she ever did eleven feet and so
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: now she's eleven five So congratulations to her. I really
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: think Lyndon Christian Girls as a team has a real
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: shot at state as you know, as the team winning,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: and because they just have so many athletes and so
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: many different things that are so good. You know, they
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: have hurlers, they got sprinters, they got you know long
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: as since runners are young. That's a lot of freshmen,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: so you never know how they're going to do it state.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: But you got a good relay team, you got throwers,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: you got jumpers. They're kind of loaded all over the place.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: There's no weakness. So really really interested to see how
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the Links girls do as a team, how many girls
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: can make it to state and then you know, you
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: start placing and getting points and you never know, they
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: could just they could run away with it. No pun intended, Oh,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: definitely pun intended. I don't care what you say.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's see here. We have some other things
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: to talk about here before we leave. As far as
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: track goes this week, Tyler, we've got the district tournaments.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: The District one tournament for three A. It will be
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: held May twenty first and twenty third. That will be
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: down at Shoreline Stadium, so that's where all the Ferndale
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: tractors will be at. The two a's will be at
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Lakewood High School. That is all also the twenty first
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: and twenty third, and then the by district the one
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: A boys and Girls which features teams from District one
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: and District two. So all the way down you've got
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the likes of Tayee is part of this.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: You've got.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: What is it like, South Widby, You've got Cedar Park,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Christian Bear Creek. You've got all those schools down that
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: way that we've been talking about a lot of them,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: we've been talking about them in the soccer. But then
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: you also add in Tayee, who is oddly enough a
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Kinko school that is one A somehow and they will
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: be running the twenty second and twenty fourth down at
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Granite Falls High School. So that's what's coming up this
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: week as far as track goes. And then I mentioned
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: earlier the state tournaments will take place the following weeks,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: so still a lot of stuff going on here as
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: far as track and field goes two more weeks. I
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: guess technically to better some times here if you get
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: if you want a shot to get your name red
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: on walk them preps. So again, Track and Field brought

  Speaker 2: Staff for Insurance nineteen oh three Front Street and Lynden
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: three six zero seven four six eighty eighth three.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Tyler.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Let's talk boys soccer, which is brought to you by
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: North County Alliance FC. You can find them online MCALLIANCEFC
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: dot com. Let's go over the goal's top ten leaders.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I guess technically top thirteen because there are some guys
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: that scored and kind of got their way up this week, Tyler.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: So we will start with four guys that are tied
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: four tenth place.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sebastian Cruiz of Squalicum, Omar Abdov Meridian, Malachi Kane
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: and who got his eighth goal against Archbishop on a
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: header that I saw up close and personal. He and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Carson Brethauer of Bellingham scored his final goal of the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: year in this district tournament just this past week. So
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: all of them tied at tenth place with eight goals.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Let's go for the three that are tied for seventh
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: place with nine goals.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Julian Herring of Seahome, Marcus Caanan of Lyndon, and Skylar
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Rowe of Meridians. Of course, Skyler Roe last week was
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: the player of the week, had a great, great week
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and got shot up to nine. And so these guys
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: are tied for seventh place with nine goals.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go up to ten goals, and we have to
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: go all the way to fifth place for that because
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: we got a I guess a tie. I was gonna
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: say a two way tie, but I guess it's just
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a tie.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: It's so funny because I was mouthing it in my
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: head too. Two way tie. That doesn't sound right. And
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: then you said that exact same thing. I was about
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: to say it, and then I was like, that sounds
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: really dumb, and I was about to say in my
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: head and I thought the exact same thing. Rudy Zurcher
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Seahome and Cody McCauley of Squalicum, each with ten goals,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: tied for fifth.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: In fourth place, We've got eleven goals from a young
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: man from Sea Home.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Also, yeah, Liam Schumacher the leading score for the Mariners
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: so far this year with eleven.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Then we've got a tie for second place. The two
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: guys here for twelve goals.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Eddie Pristino of Lyndon and Dima Yuriev, who had
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: one heck of a week for Blaine. He shot up.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I think he had three goals just this week in
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: two games, so I think I think actually scored all
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of Blaine's goals this week. So he's shot up a
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: second place now with twelve.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: And then let's just, I don't know, jump another eleven
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: goals and go find the guy at the top.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Harvest Howells did it again. Scored one more goal,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the final goal of the year for him. He did
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: have one called back on a handball call, but very
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: very impressive season for him, twenty three goals just a sophomore,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: So we're going to be seeing a lot more of
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: him the next few years.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Tyler, let's talk. Let's go through the district brackets here
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: and we'll start with one A just one game for us.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Talk about this week, because there was games kind of
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: leading up to this point. And we know Meridian beat Blaine,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: so Meridian was locked in to move on, but that
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: meant Blaine had to go down to the quote unquote
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: loser's bracket here and they had to take on a
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Limon Christian team that was coming off of three nothing
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: win over Knooksack Valley. This was what was it was
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: this on Saturday.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, And this was this was Wednesday. This
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: was Wednesday, Blaine. Yeah, I was. I was out there
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: for this one for a chunk of it. Anyways, kind
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: of in the middle and uh, and this was the
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: rubber match. You know, Elsie got Blaine in the regular season.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: Blaine got their revenge in the first round of the
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: playoffs against Elsie. So but this one had a lot
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: more on the line. Obviously, there was kind of high
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: emotions and Dima Yuriev scored both goals and Harvest Halle
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: had scored on a penalty kick, and then, like I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: said earlier, had a goal called back on a handball violation.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Blaine ends up winning it. You know, Blaine with the
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: lower seated team that did pretty well in this tournament,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: playing at home. You know, you and I talked about
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: kind of like home field advantage and how in soccer.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's really a thing, but I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: tell you what, when you're going from grass to turf,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: it is a little different, and it doesn't I'm sorry,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I said.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: The ball not only does it bounce different, but a
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: lot of times on like the turf, it will like
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: skip almost you know what I mean.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, And so you know Blaine took advantage
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: of it, and and you know, good, good for them.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: There was one time I want to see I don't
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: know if it's on NFA chess or not, but I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: was kind of standing between the corner where they do
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: the corner kicks and the goal a little bit maybe
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: maybe a little closer to the goal, but I'm probably,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty feet off the baseline and I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: was taking pictures and Oakow took a shot and it
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: was a little bit wide and it was coming right
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: at me, and I actually tried to catch it with
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: one hand and because I had my camera on the
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: other hand. And it was so weird because when you're
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: realize that you're forty six years old and your reaction
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: is not or you know, you're it's not what it
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: used to be and that ball is humming, It's like
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I like tried to catch it like a half second
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: after it went ask to me. I swear it was
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: so funny, and so what The other thing that's really
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: weird is I don't know how many high school soccer
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: games you go to, but there's always like someone behind
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the goal to go get the loose ball and put it,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: put it next to the net. Game. Yeah, And it
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: seems like every time I met I met Blaine, I'm
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the guy that goes and gets the loose balls and
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: because there's nobody over there, so I always get like
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: through for a game at least if I'm there for
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty minutes and put it right next to
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: the goal and try to keep the game going along
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But you know, good on Blaine.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was their only their fifth win of
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: the year. But to get that to move on to
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the by district because that was it was, it was
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: pretty big and you know, sad for Lynny Christian to go.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Linny Christan is a very young team, you know, like
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I said, Harvest Howell just a sophomore of the goalie
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Gavin van Lowe, the other of Ellie Vanlough who were
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: talking about in discus. He's only a freshman. So it's
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: there that you know that I think they're gonna have
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: a good future ahead of them. Also, he's always very
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: strong in soccer, so wouldn't be surprised if they really
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: take a step up. But Blaine, it was a tough
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: one because you know, you you didn't have Blake Kureski
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: the whole year. He was I think it was the
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: leading goal scorer for them last year. He was standing
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: on crutches the whole year on the sideline. And so
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: yet other guys step up and and to win that
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: game against Linden and Christian, that was huge.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: With the win Blaine and Meridian, they do move on
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: to the one two district tournament.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Now the interesting thing is is this isn't actually one
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: versus two, two versus one type thing in this because
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: the Bush School and Kings they were both not the
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: two best teams in that in that coming out of
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: the Emerald sound, but that is who Blaine and Meridian
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: had to take on, and that was on Saturday down
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: at King's High School. It says I thought originally it
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: said it was gonna be like some ammers or something.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Then that's right, it did say that.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it does say here Kings. So down at
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: King's High School, Blaine drops a three to one decision
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: to Bush School, and then Meridian they dropped a two
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: to one decision to Kings.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Tyler. Yeah, it was tough. I mean it was I
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: felt bad because, you know, Saturday was a was a
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: really busy day and I wasn't getting a lot of
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: information these teams, obviously, both of them having their seasons
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: come to a close. I did find out though eventually.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Dimon Yuriyev did score the goal for Blaine, and so
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: he really, like I said earlier, really finished out the
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: season strong. But the season came to an end at
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: five and fifteen against the Bush School and then Meridian.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: They had won six in a row. I mean they
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: were really on, you know, they were really streaking grow well,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: I mean other than see them, they were probably the
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: team on the best you know streak, just active, just
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: going really well, beating teams that were, you know, had
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: better records than them, and the Kings kind of just
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: ended that for them a close one, two to one.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Our guy, Landon Downey scored the goal for for the Trojans.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I think it was his only goal of the year.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: He's a he's a he's a defenseman and he's an enforcer. Obviously,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: that guy the one A Conference Defensive Player of the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Year and so as a as a defenseman, and he's
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: a kicker too, so you know, but a lot of
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: times you get those on corner kicks and just different
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: things when you get everybody up there and and I
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: don't know how that his goal was scored, but uh,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: it's tough one to drop that one two to one,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and and this is how how it goes. Season ended
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: nine to seven and three, but at one point they
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: were three six and three. Wow. So uh, to end
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: the season the way they did pretty pretty awesome. Uh,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: you know, going into that King's game, of course, and
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: then that one you drop it and that's that.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's it for one A soccer for the year.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: We're done, Yeah, for the year exactly. Let's talk about
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: two a now, Tyler, And just to kind of give
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a a reminder of where we
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: were at here, we had Lynden beat Bellingham three zero.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: That put them into the semi finals against Seahome, who
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: had beaten Maryfield Pilchuck. Now Seahome defeats Linden, so that
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: puts Sea Home into the conference or into the district
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: championship game. Squalicum defeated Burlington Edison and Archbishop Murphy to
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: get into this into the championship game. That took place
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: on what would that be Tuesday out at Civic Stadium. Tyler,
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: I know you were out there, but let's go down
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: into the losers bracket first and kind of work our
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: way a little bit there. So yeah, Ana courtis excuse me,
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison defeated Anna Chordis that set up a game
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: with Burlington Edison and Lyndon.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: What went on there? Yeah? That game was played out
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: at Blaine High School on Tuesday night, and you know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: just a really close, you know, one nil game and
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: again a defenseman scoring the only goal. It was his
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: only goal all year Luke van Berkam of Linden, and
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: it proved to be enough. I mean, it's it's tricky
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: whenever there's a game that's, you know, a one point game,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: because at any time it could change drastically either way,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: where whether if you get that two goal lead, then
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: you just you feel a lot more comfortable, it's not
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: as tense anymore, or the other way around. It's if
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: it becomes a tie game just like that, now it's
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: you know, it's on right. So those those games that
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: are just decided by by by one goal, you kind
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: of know that, you know pretty much the whole time.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: It was really really close and Berlin the last time
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that they played, I think it was like six to
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: four between these these two teams, So I was kind
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: of expecting something more like that, maybe even like a
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: four to three or you know, three to two or
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: I suspected more goals, but just one zero, Uh, pretty surprise.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: But Lina did get the win there, So there is
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: another half of the Loser Losers bracket. At this point,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: Bellingham had defeated Marysville Pilchuck uh and then on Tuesday
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: out at Archbishop Murphy High School, they drop a five
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: to two game to the Wildcats. Yeah, and which to
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: this is a really tough one because Bellingham held the
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: two zero lead. Uh so again we're talking about that
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: where you feel like you're doing okay, Yeah, you're up
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: by two. Carson Brethauer Santiago Reyes scored the goals, but
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: the Wildcats were able to tie it at two to
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: two by the half. So okay. But then you know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Archbishop scored three more in the second half, and you know,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I was talking to one of the belly And players
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, we just we just let one
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: of like we let like their top guy go off.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I guess their top guy had a hat trick. And
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes when you get hot like that, it's just it
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: can be you could just roll, you know, And and that
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: that's tough because Belling It. Bellying was a really young
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: team this year. You know, they were very senior heavy
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: last year. So but I thought they had a pretty
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: good year, nine to five and five on the season,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: but it all came to a close thanks to those Wildcats,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: which will become a theme here.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not just in soccer, but we got another sport
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: to talk about here. We've got so Archbishop Murphy Linden
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: they would play on Thursday.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: There was.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: So let's talk about that one and then we'll go
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: back to Tuesday to talk about Squall.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Come and see home.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: So Archbishop Murphy Lyndon Civic Stadium, seven pm and Archbishop
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: Murphy comes away with a two to one win.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was out there for this as well. This
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: is when I was I was talking about when Malachi
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Canaan had that header off a free kick from Eddie
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: Bersino that made it one zero. I was about I
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: don't know, probably ten minutes left in the first half,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: and I was feeling pretty good for Lyndon at that point.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: I mean I thought, yeah, I think that I think
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: things are looking pretty good. You know. I ended up
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: watching the rest of it, you know, at home on
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the on NFHS, and it's just it was just too bad.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: I mean because Linden. Lyndon's a very very young team
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: and I really think they have a really good shot
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: to do some damage next year. Finished the year eleven
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: six and three. But you know, Archbishop Murphy to Linden,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I mean they put him out in football and and
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: now in boys soccer. So yeah, that's just the way.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: But I do think Lynden eliminated Archbishop and boys basketball
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: at Mount Vernon High School if I remember correctly, so
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: at least there, I mean there's there's a rivalry building
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: here's yeah, yeah right. It's not just you know, one
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: sport either. This is to two schools with multiple sports,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: and Linden and Achordus has kind of been like that too.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: There's been some really good games with basketball and baseball
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: over the years as well.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go back to Tuesday night Tyler Squalicum
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Seahome Civic Stadium. I know you were out there and
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: ends up going to penalty kicks kind of set the scene.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Tell me what happened there.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Well, it was really eerie because ID just you had
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: this deja vu feeling constantly, and you know, I'll be honest,
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: this is the only soccer game this year I saw
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: from beginning to end. You know, a lot of a
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: lot of times I'm I'm buzzing through, I'm getting pictures
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: and I gotta go somewhere else, or I got to
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: get home so I can get the scoreboard ready, But
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: this one, I had it in my head no matter what,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: I was going to be there until the ends. I
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: just had a feeling it was going to be a
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: really good game. Last year's game was zero zero and
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: it went to penalty kicks, and so it just had
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that same feeling. You know. The crowd was amazing. I
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: mean both sides. The crowd was packed. A lot of
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: athletes on one side, squaalk them on the others. Like
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you saw you look in the stands and
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: you see Nolan Wright and Cole Terrell and Marcus Nixon
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: and Lockey fung Gota and you see these guys right,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: it's awesome. And h they're just going crazy. They're going nuts.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: It's awesome. Uh Squalkum had the white out going where
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: they're ever wearing all white. It was It was a
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: great atmosphere, a lot of media there, you know, talking
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: to a lot of people. You know, I met the
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: sports information director from Western. He came over and introduced
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: himself and said he loved my work, and I'm like, awesome,
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Like I know, no one. I don't really think people
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: from Western cared. But it was just it was just
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: it was a fun night. You know, the weather was
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: the weather was was was pretty decent and it had
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: that fun like you know, it's sunny when it starts,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: and it's dark when it ends. I there's something about
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: that that I just love. You know, it gave me
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: a It just gave me a really good feeling. And
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: then it was like yeah, yeah, and then all of
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: a sudden, it's you know, it's it goes into that
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: they have a couple of five minutes overtimes and those
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: are both scoreless, and and then uh, and then it's
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: just then you're sitting there with the rest of the
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: media members going, what gold are they going to go do?
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: What?
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: What goal are they gonna go to? Because you want
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: to get over there quickly. And they went to the
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: other goal, the one that's opposite the scoreboard side, which
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: was that. Then it's then it seemed different from last
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: year because everything else it seemed the same, but it
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: was on the scoreboard side last year. So now I
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: you started to get your own feel for it. It was
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: a different feel and and you know, it was it
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: was it was crazy, and uh, it was back and forth.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Goals were just were being made on penalty kicks, you know,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: you know, one zero one one two, one two two,
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: They just neither of them missed. And when Ceo met
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: that fifth one. It came to Squala Cums fifth one,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: and and that one, Baine Mitchell dove blocked it. And
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: as soon as it, as soon as that one came up,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I knew to take video of that because you know,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: it's if he if he doesn't make it, that's it.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: And you got to run out and get the celebration
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: and and you know, and and I've I'm a fan
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: of Baine Mitchell, watched him during basketball and and so
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, man, this could really become something pretty cool.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: And and all of a sudden, I start taking the
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: video and you heard the you heard the like the
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: someone in the crowd blow a horn, right is like
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: he was going to block it. It didn't matter he
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: blocked it. Anyways, celebrated with his with his teammates. It
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: was a really cool atmosphere. And it was and it
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: was payback too, because Squalkum won that game last year
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: and even though Seeoim finished second in state last year,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: they had to they had to get that second spot
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: from districts because Squalackum had won it. So so yeah,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: it was it was, uh, you know, a city rivalry
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I mean, these kids all know each other.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they play with each other and you know,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: different competitive leagues and stuff like that. So it was
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: it was an awesome atmosphere. It was Uh, it was
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: one of the really cool just you know moments that
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I've been around in high school sports. And that's one
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: of the big reasons I love what I'm doing, is
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: because I get to witness these things, I get to
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: share it with the public of someone who may not
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: have been able to be there or heard about it,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: or does live in the area anymore, whatever, And that
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: felt really good. So congratulates this to CEOM that locked
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: their birth to the state tournament once again. Yeah.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: So the Mariners, like you said, locked into the state
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: tournament Squalicum. Now they have to wait to figure out
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: who they're gonna play. We talked about it already. Archbishop
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Murphy defeated Lyndon on Thursday. So now they know that
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Saturday at Civic Stadium, they're going to get the shot
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: at the Wildcats. Winner to state loser goes home Tyler
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: and we're back to penalty kicks.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was exact same scenario. I was there for
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: a big chunk of the first half and it was
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I think Squalicum was Squalicum. I think
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Archbishop was maybe more the aggressor in the regular time.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: They Squalicum had a lot of possession, but it just
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: kind of didn't have that guy shooting out to, you know,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: to try something kind of creative, you know. It was
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: it was kind of I don't know, they were like
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: they were they were playing a little defensively on offense,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: if that makes sense. I don't know if that makes sense,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: but they were really not taking as many chances offensively
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: when I thought maybe that would have been a way
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: to go, just relying on their defense solely. And I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: tell you what, their their defense is awesome. It did
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: go to penalty kicks, and this time it was back
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and forth and back and forth. I mean, they just
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: they couldn't miss. And you know, a penalty you should
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: make a penalty kick, right because you got the goalie
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: has to be really on it to block it. The
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: first ten were made on each side, my goodness. So
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: so you're just going and going and going, and then
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Archbishop Murphy made kick number eleven and then they blocked
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Squalicum's number eleven and that was that. So Squalicum ends
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: at thirteen to five and two. But how about this
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: for the storm I believe I think, if I'm not wrong,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: I think Squalkam was the only team in that entire
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: tournament to not allow a goal in regular time and
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: they did not move on to the state tournament. Wow,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: so I think, I mean, that's crazy. But that tells you,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Andy Trin is an awesome goalie. That tells
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: you that the defense is really good. It's just just
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: the way that it went. You know. It's too bad
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: because Squalkam is a really, really good team, and it's
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: one of those where if you're taking three teams in like,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: they would definitely be the third team and they would
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: win games at State. I think they're that good the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: end of the year thirteen to five and two.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: It's kind of one of those funny things where you
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: take a team sport and you turned it into a
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: one on one event, you know what I mean.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, but you got to do something right.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well, I mean you do and you don't, right,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Like in hockey, they just keep playing until some I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: mean in regular season obviously they they you know, they
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: do a shootout or whatever. But so yeah, unfortunately Squalkum
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: not headed to the state tournament. Archibishop Murphy will. But
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: we do have Seahome here and let's take a look
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: now at the two A state tournament. The finals for
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: the TWA State Tournament will be held at Federal Way
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: Memorial Field. That comes up on the thirtieth and thirty first,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: But before that we've got the opening round, that is
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: the twentieth and twenty first. Seahome will play the twenty first,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: five pm at Civic Stadium in Bellingham. They will take
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: on the WF West Wildcats of shalis Sea Home. Seventeen
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: h to two on the season is what I have
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: listed here. Wf West eleven and ten on the year.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: They are playing by far their best soccer as of late.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: They've won five of their last seven games, so the Bearcats,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: they are doing some damage here. If they are able
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: to win, Seahome will then play. It would be either
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: the twenty third or twenty fourth, so that would be
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Friday or Saturday, and they will take on either Cedar
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Crest or Fife, Fife being the Sevian seed. Cedar Crest
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: is the ten five on the year, fifteen three and one. Wow,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: I mean when you look at their schedule here. I
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: mean they won a lot of games in a row
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: and then lost to Clover Park, won a lot of
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: games in a row, lost to North kidsap So that's
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: a tough team who has one game so far against
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: Sea Home as well one nothing lost on March fifteenth
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Cedar Crest. On the other hand, they are fifteen and five,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: so this is a tough matchup here. Both these teams
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: have very good records. But again, you know, Sea Home
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: seventeen and two on the year. There are only two blemishes,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: if you will of any sort are a zero zero
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: against se or Sedro Woolley and a two to two
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: tie against Mount Vernon. So so yeah, I mean, you
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: know there's a lot to go here. You know, we've
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: potentially got two weeks left for Sea Home, but most
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: most importantly the twenty first, five pm at Civic Stadium.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I got a feeling you might be out there at
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: that one, Tyler at least for a little bit. Yeah,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's a real good shot here for Seahom.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: They are the two seed. The one seed is Bainbridge,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: We'll give you The three seed is Columbia River in
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: the four Archbishop Murphy so those are your top four seeds.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: As far as that goes, Tyler, we need to talk
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: about the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: and that's I feel like we haven't had very many goalies,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: but we're going to get one here.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah. I got to give it to Baine Mitchell.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I mean that save was unbelievable. He had some up
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: during regular time too. That was just I mean, he's
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: you know I was talking to it might have been
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: that the information director, the sports information director at Western
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: about it is that not only is he the best
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: goalie in Walking County, he might be the best soccer
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: player in Walking County. Bane Mitchell with just some credible saves.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: I was you know, I was strongly leaning towards dma
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Yuriev because he had done so much for Blaine. If
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: they would have beat the Bush School, I would have
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: probably given it to him because just what he did
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: this week to elevate Blaine, to get them to the
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: state tournament with you know, you know, almost three times
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: as many losses than wins, just having that really strong week.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: But the Bane Mitchell and the district championship game all
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: eyes on him. The moment didn't get too big for
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: him at all. Congratulates to him second time winning the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: award this year, Bane Mitchell Sielms your North County Alliance
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: FC Player of the Week.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess you can't really give it
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: to anybody from Sea Home as far as like scoring
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: goals because technically they didn't I mean right, not this week. No,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: they wonted penalty kicks. Again, thank you the North County
• 1:06:52

• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Front Street in Lindon three six zero nine two two
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: zero one four nine. Uh, why don't we just go
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: with well, how about we just do hit some doubles
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: because it's the same girl.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Alena Dykstra of Nook Sac Valley shot up past
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: everybody and really, I mean obviously in a strong season,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: but a really strong close of the season. Forty seven
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: hits to end the year for her and fourteen doubles
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: for Lena dyksh Really, you know, they moved her up
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: to the leadoff spot, and you know that's just you know,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: get as many at batch as you can from her.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: She's you know the left handed hitter, and she just
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: every single time she hits the ball. Like I was
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: watching a game in the first baseman was coming in,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: uh and and I'm I was watching with someone that
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't think she should be playing there.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like she can rocket one right past that.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of time left handed hitter, especially a
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: leadoff you think it's gonna be a slap hitter. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: that's a slap in the face. She's gonna she's gonna
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: crush one somewhere. You gotta be you gotta be leary
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Tyler're gonna go a little out of order here, so
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: listen closely, all right, okay. Triples and batting average, Yeah, triples.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Is Melanie Anderson of Lyndon, now with six triples on
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: the air. She also leads off and is left handed hitter,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: so kind of unique with her and Olena Dyksher who
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: I think the two will be teaming up and rooming
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: together at Scadget Valley College. And batting average is Shayley
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Daniels of Blaine, who ended the season at a six
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: oh eight batting average. I believe only two players this
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: year had a six hundred bat batting average or better.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: She led with a six oh eight average.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Now let's go home runs and runs a bat it
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: in because it is also the same girl.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gracie Zender of Mount Baker finished with thirteen home runs.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what she finished with for her career,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: but I think it's between thirty five and forty home
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: runs in her career, something crazy like that. It's a
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: I know, because I know she hit double digits as
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: a freshman. I think she maybe only had like seven
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: last year. I mean, it's it's a gonna be an
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: outrageous number. She also finished with fifty RBIs this year
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: just one of those that she just hits ropes like
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: and whenever she hits a home run it looks like
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: a lion shot that maybe went twenty feet in the air,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's just my goodness, you know. And
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a parent about her, and you know,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: she's just like she really wants to be a nurse.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: She's going to school to be a nurse. She probably
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: has chances to go play somewhere, but she just wants
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: to be a nurse. That's awesome. She's going to school
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: to do that, and good on her, because that's a
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: when you know what you want to do, you go
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: do it. Absolutely absolutely.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a firm believer in that there's a
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: there's a young man on our baseball team that he
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: could probably go to a community college. But he said
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: to me, he goes, you know, I want to I
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: want to go to Seattle Pacific for pre med. And
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: I go, you know what, good on you? Like, yep,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'll stop talking, like you can go
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: ahead and go do that. And then he told me that.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: He goes, get this, Tyler, He goes, yeah. I said, well,
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: you know what do you want to do with that?
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Like, where do you want to go with that? He goes, Eventually,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: I want to go into like the trauma unit and
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: become a doctor in the trauma unit. I go, like,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: the like, so if I'm like rush at the emergency room,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: he goes, yeah yeah. And I'm sitting there thinking to myself,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: if I'm laying on my deathbed and I look up
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: and I see if that guy's face, I don't know
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: that I felt too confident in myself. I mean, he's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: a good pitcher and all but like my goodness, Tyler,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: let's talk runs and stolen bases.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, runs, and these two are a couple of really
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: good friends too. Runs. Annalie Cohane of Mount Baker, the
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: leadoff hitter for the last four years, forty four runs scored.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's one of those players that you know,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't walk very much, doesn't strike up very much. The
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: ball will always be be in play. She gets on base.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: If she gets on base, everybody in the whole area
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: knows she's stealing second. She'll go do that and then
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: she'll score. I mean that's just the way that she
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: gets that. She gets that engine going for the Mount
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: Baker team. And forty four runs scored and in stolen
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: bases Campbell to Young of Lynden twenty eight stolen bases,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: very very similar. Gets on base, you know she's running.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: She just has a motor that doesn't end. I mean,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: she is go, go, go, super athletic. Now, I tell
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: you one thing too about her, and I'm gonna we'll
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: talk about it when we talk about the tournaments. But
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: she is so good in the dugout and on the
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: field talking to her teammates and talking them up, keeping
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: them going picking up their spirits. I got to witness
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: it firsthand. I got to be in the dugout in
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: the district championship game, and it was something you don't see.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe it happens more often than I think, but being
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: close to it, I was really impressed by that. And
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: she's just a junior, but she's been starting since her
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: freshman year and that was just really really impressive to
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: see up close and personal firsthand. So, you know, good
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: for her. Obviously a great, great player, leading in stolen
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: bases and very very close in many other categories, but
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: it's that stuff that people don't see that she does,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: which is really great.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: So, Tyler, we've got eight categories left, and we've only
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: got two girls to talk about, so as you can
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: see what I'm doing here, we're going to talk about
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: four of them first. Because Gracie Zender is somehow leading
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: in walks, slugging percentage, on base percentage, and on base
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: plus slugging.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like what Barry Bonds would do. Yeah,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: she led walks twenty four walks, slugged thirteen sixty eight,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: she got on base seventy two point two percent of
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: the time, and that's basically three out of four times
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: she's coming up, she's getting on base, which is just incredible.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: And then so her on base plus slugging was over
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: two thousand. That's something you just do not see so hard.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: I think she was. Yeah, I think she was the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: only player in Walking County that ended up with over
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: two thousand on the ops. Obviously, there are still games
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: to be played, only a couple teams left, but that
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: is super, super impressive. Gracie Zender has been the catcher
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: and has been batting either third or fourth in the
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: lineup the past four years. You know, I will never forget.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two her freshman year, I think it
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: was against Klahowia. Is that you said that Clahoa Kahliaklahowiah. Yeah,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: that game one, uh you know uh in the fast
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: pitched UH State tournament and she hits a bomb and
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: and she's rounding the bases and I think it was
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: like her tenth on the year, and I'm thinking, man,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: she's just a freshman, like this is going to be
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: so cool. And then all of a sudden, like she's
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: done playing. It goes so fast, but I'm just so glad.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: I was able to watch her player for four years
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: because it was it was a real joy.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: And I have been told Klahelia, but now that I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: think about it, it might be something different. I've always
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: been told Klahalia.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it is.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: That's what I think it is. But honestly, I have
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: no idea. Now, Tyler, this is normally where I would say.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: And it met a been Keona Benton for all I know,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: probably was.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Actually I think it was. And you know what most
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: people call him, Kaybee. Yeah, let's this is where normally,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Tyler I would say something like, let's talk about the
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: baseball or the pitching stats, and we'll start with No,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: we're just gonna do all four at once because it's
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: one girl.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. She has just really turned it on these last
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: well really the last month. But my goodness, you know,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: we were talking about how, you know, there's a handful
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: of good pictures, but there hasn't been that one that
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: has really stood out. And I kind of set it
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago that Callie Rammerman of Lyndon has
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: now elevated her game to where she is the pitcher
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: of Walkham County, just a sophomore, but my goodness, is
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: she just so good now leading in all four of
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: these categories. Fifteen wins on the year, one hundred and
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: twenty seven innings, pitched, a school record two hundred and
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: seven strikeouts, and an ERA now two point twenty six.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: And I tell you what for her to get these
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: all going the right way at this time of the
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: sea and is huge for this Linden team. She is
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: so important to the team and I feel like she
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on herself, but my goodness,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: is she so dominant and really really excited for her.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: She had a key moment in that district championship game
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: where and it wasn't in the circle, it was at
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: the plate where she drew a walk in a really
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: really key moment and then she you know, she had
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: a courtesy runner for and and you know everyone was,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: you know, giving her high five on the dugout and
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: even I said, I go, that was a great at bat.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: You know, that was that was huge And it turned
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: out to be huge. So she has a complete game
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: just a sophomore, like I said, and and my goodness,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: she is already one of the you know, you know,
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say the best picture in school history.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: But she's she's putting up numbers that are extremely impressive.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Putting up numbers that are hard to argue against. If yep,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: if you want to say it that way, Tyler, h
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: that is it for the stats that is again brought
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: to you by Man Insurance. You can find them in
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Linden three six zero nine to two zero one four nine.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Let's go through, Tyler and break down a little bit
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: of what went on this week. We first will head
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: to the Centralia area and talk about the one as
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: we had Nukzack Valley, Mount Baker and Linden Christian down
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: there to take on the teams from District well the
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: four District four yea, and some very very good programs
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: down in District four, absolutely very good. So yeah, let's
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: see here. Where do we want to start, Tyler? I mean,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: I guess we start with the first two games that
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: were played. Knuckzack Valley defeats at Less Center thirteen to three,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: in Mount Baker all over Stevenson at twelve to one.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and these games, you know kind of how you
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: thought they'd be. I knew that they were very like
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: the other teams down there. The other whatever was it
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: a twelve team tournament, so the other nine teams were
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be very very top heavy, but I didn't know
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: about these other ones that would be kind of the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: bottom of the nine from down there. And you know,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: Stevenson got roughed up in this tournament, like you said,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker got him. Gracie Zender went four for four
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: with five RBIs in that one. Annally Cohene was three
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: for four, home run away from the cycle. So just
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: kind of, you know, it was kind of Mount Baker
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: doing their thing. Very strong offensive team. Game only went
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: five innings. Carl Walters only allowed five hits to get
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: the win. There, Knukzac Balley, you know, beating Less Center
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: in a five inning game. That was a little bit surprising,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: just because I thought Les Center was a little bit stronger.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: But but Nixac Valley just started off really, really strong.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: Elena van Eprin was a triple away from the cycle.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: H Alena Dyksra hit a home run that one her
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: eighth of the season. Kenzie Lickl tripled, scored and drove
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: in three runs. Shelby Mason scored four runs and stole
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: three bases. And that's the thing about Knuksack Valley is
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: they're just one of the better hitting teams. Just then
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: they can put together those really strong innings. They have
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know five six different girls on the team
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: that have hit a home run this year. That's just
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: you gotta be Leria that at all times. And so
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: both teams started out the tournament pretty strong.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Now let's talk first, Well, those were ten am games. Yeah,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: with the wins, both teams move on to play two
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: PM games. Let's go talk about those two games specifically, first, Tyler. Yeah,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: both teams do end up losing. In the next round.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: Rochester beats Nuksack Valley ten to nothing and a Seaton
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: Catholic defeats Mount Baker at eleven to one.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Rochester was the top seed in this and and
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: they only allowed two hits. And so they must have
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: a dynamite pitcher, because if you hold Nuxack Valley to
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: two hits, that is really telling me a lot. Yeah,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: and I did I didn't I know Rochester played. I
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: think they played somebody in the beginning. Maybe it was
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: an exact valley earlier in the year. It might have
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: been Meridian. That tournament over in Walla, Walla and I
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: remember Rochester winning pretty big there. So the Warriors very
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: very good team and now exact valley just you know,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: I mean Atlanta Dyster hit a double, Peyton Bartle had
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: a single. That was it and that one, uh seton
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Catholic Mount Mount Baker. That was actually a really close
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: game for a while. Carl Welters hit a home run
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: in the top of the fourth which tied the game
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: at one one and but the Cougar scored ten runs
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: over the next two innings and that was kind of that.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: In addition to Welter's home run, Mount Baker got a
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: couple of hits from Kennedy rath Gen one from Cadence Kloninger.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: But that would be that would be it front fro
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker in that game. Seeing Catholic just had a
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: couple really big innings there and and dropped the Mountaineers.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm looking here really quickly, Tyler. You said Rochester played
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: somebody Is that what you were saying?
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: I thought they played somebody from Walking County in the
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: Wall of Waller.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Turn Okay, in mid uh Meridian they beat Meridian sixteen
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: to three.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, that's right.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: So uh, those two teams were actually on the top
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: half of the bracket, so had they both won, they
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: would have played each other. Yea, as it is on
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: the other side of the bracket. Linnen Christian the three
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: seed in the tournament. They take on Kalamit. Now this
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: is very interesting, like when you look at these things
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: because Kalama, so first off, Lynn and Christian wins thirteen
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: to one. But Kalamba they were the eleven seed, Alma
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: the sixth seed. They beat them eleven to six. And
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: then when you go to the bottom and you start
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: looking at the losers out bracket stuff, Alma turns out
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: to be one of the best teams in the entire tournament,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: but losing eleven to six very interesting. So in a way,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: it almost kind of scares you a little bit because
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: you go, wow, is this Kalamba team the chinnooks? Are
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: they real good? And then boom, then Christian gets them
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: thirteen to one.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. And Elma. I
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: saw Elma play. I watched so much of that online
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: on game Changer, and Elma was awesome. I mean they
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: were loaded, and so I was, you know, but I
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: didn't see them until later, and I was kind of
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: I was kind of like, why are they in the
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: consolation backet? Who beat them? It's like Klama beat them.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: They got a rolled by Lynn and Christian, So it
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: was weird. Lennon Christian, I mean on a roll going
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: into this tournament, and you know, they just they pounded.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: They had seven extra base hits in that game. Cassidy
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: van SEUs did a couple of home runs, Roxanne Lending
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: hit a home run. Van SEUs drove in five runs,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: Hannah Turfster drove in three runs. I mean, it was
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: just kind of dominant, you know. Taya Vanderkoy went at
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: three for three. I mean, there was just it was
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: all the Nu Christian in that one, and it was
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: just pure dominance over the Schnooks.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: With the win, Lynnon Christian would move on to the
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: next day to take on Monsano. Now I say next
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: day kind of like that because originally it was supposed
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: to be Wednesday Saturday. It turned out with the rain
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: coming in on Saturday, and I don't know about where
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: you guys are, but it rained like crazy around here
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, So I don't know what it did down
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: there in Centralia, but they decided to keep the teams
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: around so the team stayed the night in Centralia or
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: Shalis or wherever they were staying from the night before.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: They stayed around and ended up playing on what would
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: that be Thursday, and Lennon Christian drops a seven to
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: three decision to Montseno.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and going into the tournament, what was Montiseno and
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: that were? Were they the two? They were the two? Yeah?
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: I mean to me, Monaseno is the one anywhere. Yeah,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: they're just they're so good.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: So, Tyler, this is something to actually talk about here
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: really quickly, because I was looking at the I was
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: looking at Rochester's season. Yeah, and it's a very it's
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: very weird. I don't know if they combine with another league,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think the I think this maybe
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: is one of those things where where like the Evergreen
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: two A kind of combines with the Evergreen one A
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: because they're playing some teams that it doesn't seem like
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: they would have been playing. But the thing that's interesting
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: when you look at it, Rochester is the one seed
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: in this tournament. Montseno is the two seed. But now
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: when we get to the state tournament, Rochester is the
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: three six, they're the seven and Montiseno is the one.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably how this tournament turned out, because I mean,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: Monseeno is so good and I was really excited to
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: see this match up Monaseno Lennon Christian. I wanted to
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: kind of see how len and Christian, how they match up. Yeah,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: how they match up against a team that, hey, if
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: else he wants to win the state title. This is
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: a great measuring stick right here. And and I tell
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: you what. You know, they scored three runs in all
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: in one inning on a on one play. Roxanne Lenning
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: hit a base clearing double in the bottom of the sixth,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: but that would be the only offense, you know it was.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: Lenning did a good job too. She struck out five
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: batters over three innings in her in her in the
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: three innings that she pitched, really bright future for her.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: I mean she's she's really special as a pitcher and
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: as a hitter. But Monta Sano is just you know,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: I saw that team up close and personal last year
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: in the state tournament and they were just holy cow.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Like I think they're played in the semis against Mount
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Baker and I'd never seen a team like up and
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: down that they can all just crush the ball and
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: so good defensively. And and you, I mean when you
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: look at programs, you know, Montaseno Fast Pitches one. I
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: don't know how many state titles, but it's double digits,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: you know, in the last twenty years. So I'm not
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: surprised there. But a good showing by the links to
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: show that they can hang a little bit. Seven to three. Hey,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: that's that. That really told me a lot. Yeah, and
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: so by losing.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: So this is where it gets really really weird, Tyler,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: because if you lose the first if you lose in
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: that first round where Nuksack Valley and Mount Baker won,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: if you lose there, you end up waiting around a
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: while because the teams that won that first round go
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: and play at two PM, and then the losers of
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: that round actually end up going to play the losers
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: of the first round. So somehow the losers of the
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: first round get a buy in the loser's bracket is
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: basically what it ends up being. So it's very strange
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: how that happens. So I guess in a way we
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: do need to like kind of jump back just a
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: tad because we do need to go talk about a
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: couple of games and I guess it's not really jumped
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: back because technically it's all kind of going on. I
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's weird. So what we're gonna do here
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: is we're gonna go back to Wednesday now and talk
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: about Mount Baker and Elma and Nuksack Valley. In Columbia
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: White Salmon, So Knuksack Valley they do defeat Columbia sixteen
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: to nine. Mount Baker they fall fifteen to ten to
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: end their season to Elma.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was tough. When the Knouksac game,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: I mean again, they can hit, right, I mean they
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: just they they did a ton of that. Dyksher was
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: three for four with another home run, four RBIs, four
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: runs scored. Van Eprin, who's you know she's She didn't
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: even start the year in the lineup for knoks and
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: Valley found herself batting second for the second half of
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: the year. She went three for four, three RBIs. Shelby
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: Mason went three for four, Peyton Bartow went two for three.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: A lot of different players got hits. Almost every single
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: player in the lineup got it, got a hit, and
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: so it was just really really strong offense for Nuksack
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: Valley and and uh, you know, to keep that keep
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: that going for them. That was their third game of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: the day on that Wednesday night when they got that
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: win the Mount Baker, you know, it was it was tough.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, Elma just got hot. I tell you what.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: Alyssadroco from Mount Baker had she uses and then she
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: she she had a heck of a game and then
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: her final game of her career, she had a double
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: home run, drove in five runs. And Mount Baker as
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: a team I think had like I think they had
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: four hits and scored ten runs off them. So they
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: did you know, they did all the right things where
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: there was walks hit by pitch airs in the field,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: but Doroco drove in five of the ten runs. And
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: she's just a phenomenal person kid, you know, musician. Uh,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just she's gonna do some really good
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: things in life, and that's what's awesome. And she's one
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: of those players that just you know, was always getting
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: close to cracking that starting lineup, and then her senior
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: year she does and I think she hit like, you know,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: three fifty this year and had three home runs and
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: just really really awesome to see and she had a big,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: big game, and it just wasn't going to be enough.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: And uh, I mean it was two bad because Mount
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: baker was up nine to two four and a half
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: innings into it, and you know, the Eagles just they
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: get on these runs and they they're really excitable as
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: a team. I mean, they celebrate everything and they get
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: really into it, and it can it's just they just
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: they just went on those runs. You know, they scored
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: eight runs on the bottom of the fifth, five more
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: on the bottom of the sixth, and then with the
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: season tilting in the balance for Mount Baker, the game
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: was suspended going into the final inning because of darkness,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: and so it was it was crazy because just that
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: bottom of the sixth, you know, Elma's scoring a lot
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: of runs with balls being hit in the outfield and
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: then who knows if it was too dark and they
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: couldn't play them really well, and that's when a lot
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: of those runs were scored. But they had to wait
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: till the inning was over to suspend it, and by
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: that time Elma had taken a lead. So they wake
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: up the next morning, Mount Baker's down fifteen to ten.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: They go to the bat in the seventh and they
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: were sat down one, two, three, and so you got
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: all the players all stayed the night, you got all
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: you know, got all dressed and ready for the game,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: and send three batters up one to three seasons over.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: So that's that's really tough because Mount Baker has so
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: much ability, especially offensively, to to to do some damage.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: For the season to come to a close like that,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: it's really really hard. I know that they would rather
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: do that than play for just one seed out of
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: the one a's and they're not you know, they're they're
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: not afraid to go play the best. And that's kind
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: of what these teams are down there. It's kind of
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: like a mini state tournament. You know, you're playing multiple
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: games and multiple you know, and back to back against
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: really good teams and a cool complex and all that
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, if you're gonna come out
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: of that tournament, you're gonna be ready for the state tournament.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: So I think everyone was ready for the challenge, but
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for the Mountaineers it ended before what they wanted
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: it to be. Yeah, and you know, it's one of
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: those things that's like, at the end of the day,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: you still got to beat them eventually, right, like yeah, right, yeah,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: you know, so it's yeah, yeah, I mean kind of
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: one of those things. You know, I see people a
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: lot that, well why would they do that? But no,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: look you're gonna have to beat them eventually anyway, so
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: just go do it. Now.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: Let's see, with those two teams winning, h Elma and
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: Nukxack Valley would then play at noon, and Elma would
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: get Nuksack Valley seven to five in that one.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was tough, you know, because I
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: mean it would have been Mount Baker in Nuksack Valley,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: so one of the teams had to be eliminated at
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: that point. And yeah, Elma struck first with a three
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: run home run right in the top of the first.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: Nukzak answered with a two run double by Gracie Rutgers
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: and then a two run single by Graced Hooague, so
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: Pioneers took the early lead. After that kind of back
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: and forth. Another RBI hit from Rutgers came an inning
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: later gave Nukzack a five to three lead, but the
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: Eagles scored twice on the top of the third to tie,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: and then twice more on the top of the sixth,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: and that's that's truly you know. Again, they just get
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: hot late and Elma was just playing really inspired. You know.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Elena Dykstra and Natalie van Loui each hit a double
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: in that game. But season came to a close with
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: the record of sixteen and ten for the Pioneers, who
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: you know, they bring back all their pitching for next year,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: but they lose some big time bats, including Alana Dykstra,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: you know, Shelby Mason. There's some big time players that
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: they're going to have to replace, not just offensively but
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: in key defensive situations. But I tell you what, Tom
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: Harmon team will always hit, so I'm not worried about
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: that the pitching returns. Knuckzac Valley could really turn it
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: up a little bit this this next year and make
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: a little deeper run perhaps.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: So with the win, Alma moves on to take on
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: We bring Lynden Christian back into the conversation here. So
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: now we are into what is essentially the semi finals
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: of the losers bracket and Elma at four pm down
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: there on Thursday, they take out Lynden Christian. Well they
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: take them out from that game. They send Lynden Christian
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: to a winner to state game loser out game with
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: a ten to seven win.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, went into extra innings, it went nine innings. I
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: think I was watching this online line and it was
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: just I Elsie had their chances to win this, it
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: just didn't happen, you know. Uh. Eagles had a four
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: to one lead. Then a couple Elma airs in the
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: bottom in the bottom of the inning where they where
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: they were down, led to a few lending Christian runs,
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: and then a line drive single by Taylor Craig drove
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: in two runs gave the Links a five to four lead,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: and then there was another Elma air in the bottom
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: of the sixth uh that gave Elsie at their their
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: their sixth run to be up six to four, but
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: then Elma tied it back up in the top of
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: the seventh. I mean, it was just one of those
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: games where you watch it on Game Changer, like every
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: single at bad Is is huge, and it wasn't. It's
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: weird because both these teams had already lost in the tournament,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: but this game was not a loser out game, so
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: it kind of had that weird feel like it was
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: a loser out game, but it wasn't. And they you know,
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: they both battled so much, and and and the Links
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: had a chance in the bottom of the seventh to
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: win it. The winning run was on third base, but
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: there was a ground for the third out. Neither team
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: scored in the eighth, And then when you start the ninth,
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: you start with a runner on second. They don't do
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: it for the eighth, they do it for the ninth
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: and further. And Elma hit a grand slam in the
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: top of the ninth, take a ten six Lean lending
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: hit a sing Roxane Lendings. She had a single to
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: score a run, but that'd be it for Lenny Christian,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: who fell ten to seven in that one. And all
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was you know, Elma three games
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: in a row beating Walking County teams, that Elma who
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: lost it. I mean, it was just it was just weird.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: And I got to know that team really well because
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: I just kept watching them play and it was kept
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: being against Walking County teams.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually played all three Walkome County teams and
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: beating all three Walkham County teams right in a row.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: They are my dark horse in Richland. I'm telling you
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: right now, they're really good, well from the from the
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: looks of it, if they get hot, they get red hot.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: Because they eventually moved on and beat the number one
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: seed at Rochester thirteen to four. I mean they just
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: started smacking the ball round. I mean, yeah, by beating
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Lynn Christian. They they ended up making the state tournament
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: with that win.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they it's crazy because they lost their first
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: game eleven to six and then won four straight against
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: what appeared to be I mean, we at least we
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: know the three teams from Walkam County are very good.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: And then Rochester, I mean they were the number one seed.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: And this is where it gets really weird with that too.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: And we'll talk about it when we go over the
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: bracket for the state tournament here in a second. But
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: now that being said, Lennon Christian was a loss. You
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: mentioned it. It wasn't a loser out game. It was
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: a loser to a potential loser outgame. Lynn and Christian
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: would play less center the Wildcats. I believes Center Wildcats
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: will remember correctly thirteen to three, though Lynn and Christian
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: really puts it on them securing their spot in the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: state tournament.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this one, I was a little leary about if
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: they were going to play. I think I was heading
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: out to Civic Stadium to watch the Linden Archbishop soccer game,
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: and I texted a Lynen Christian parent and I said,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: are they going to get this game in or are
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: they gonna have to play tomorrow morning? Because it was
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: starting to get dark. Yeah, because the game before went
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: extra innings it was rain. It was rain. I mean,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: it was just and he's like, he's like, no, he goes,
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: they are he goes right now, they're having the coaches meeting,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, Okay, they're just going to
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: turn around and get it in as quickly as they can.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: And I was a little leery, and I was thinking,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the center like Nook sac Ten rund them.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, yeah, just just just take care of
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 1: business early and get out of there, you know.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: Well, and they just could there. They were just coming
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: off getting absolutely destroyed by Rochester twenty to eight.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean I just kind of thought, if
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: they can, yeah, and uh and then a Christian they
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: kind of did that. I mean, Listener kept kept hanging around,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: but Brooke van low Or she hit her second home
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: run of the game to end it, because it was
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: it put them up, it put Elsie up by ten,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: and it was so it was kind of a walk
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: off in the bottom of the sixth when that happened,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: it was her second home run of the game. Rocks
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: and Landing hit a home run earlier in the game,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: and by winning that game, it sent the links to
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: the state tournament, which I was kind of sweating a
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: little bit because I bought my ticket a month ago
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: to stay in Richland, and usually I buy it early
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: because I don't need to worry about it. There was,
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: you know, the first year I went, I can twenty eighteen,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: I think there was three teams from Walkam County there,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: you know, because they used to you know, glue with
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: District two and play a tournament and we'd send three
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: teams and it was no big deal. And then recent
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: and that was when it was a sixteen team tournament.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: Well now it's a twelve team tournament, and now we're
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: just getting one's team in there each year. I think
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: it was two for a little bit, then it was
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: just one, and I was like, well, at least I
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: know we're getting one. And then this year it was
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: a possibility that it could have been zero five teams
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: came out of this, Lennon Christian ended up being that fifteen.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: So they they they just got in. But I'm happy.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be there. I'm excited. I am going
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: to buzz out to Seala when I can. It's about
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: our fifteen minutes away, so it's like seventy something miles
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: away or so. So I'll go out there when I can,
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: if it if it works out as far as uh,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: you know, catching games out there, but I was able
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: to do it last year. But I'm excited for the links.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: I think they really have, you know, something great about
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: them that could give them a little bit of a
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: run in this In this tournament in Richland, obviously there's
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: gonna be really really good teams there and only the
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: top four are or are are gonna be in that
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call quarterfinals or so, because if
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: you you know, if you go over there and you
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: play on that Thursday, it's a loser out game right away.
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: And we'll we will talk about that a little bit.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: But but that's what Lennon Christian's gonna have, and you know,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: we'll just have to see how how it goes and
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: and the Links though, are very very good, very young too.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: Only one senior on the team, very important senior Cassidy
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: van Seust pitcher bats third in the lineup. She hit
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: those two home runs in that one game and had
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: five RBI guys. So left handed hitter, right handed pitcher.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: It's they're very very good and they're going to be
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: a tough out.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Let's talk about the one A State tournament, Tyler.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: This is at Columbia Playfields in Richland. As you mentioned,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: the Thursday is technically called the opening round. Is a
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: loser out game, So you get all the way over
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: there to play one game, turn around, come all the
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: way back home. So you don't want to do that.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: But if you win, you get through and then you're
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: guaranteed at least two more games.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm booked through Saturday. So win.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so please please win, because Tyler doesn't want to
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: have to drive all the way over to Yakama just
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: to stay the night all the way back in Richland.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: Right exactly exactly, because.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: It's probably a little too late by this point to
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: get a hotel out in the Yakama area. Now, Tyler,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: you know, if you do, you know buzzing out there.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: Like you say, it does give you a chance to
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: go to Major. So you got that guy, Very true,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: very true, u Keona Benton. That is who they are playing,
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: the Bear. They will play them on Thursday at three
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: pm on field four. I don't know where field four is,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: but it's next to two, three and one. So uh,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: Lynn Christian, Kiona Benton, Kiyona Benton on the season. They
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: I got it right here. They are thirteen, nine and one.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: It's kind of interesting how their how their league works.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: They actually play double headers against like everybody, so double
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: header against Quincy, doubleheader against Zilla, Waile Luke Connell Royal.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: Who is the are? They are the number two seed
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: I believe in the tournament. I could be wrong. Yeah
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: they're up there. Yeah, I know they're one of the
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: top four they got.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah Montasano's one, Royal is two, Cedar Park Christian is three,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: and seating Catholic they are four. So so yeah, I
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: mean you just look it over and this is a
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 2: solid team. This is a team that they've won some games.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: They are actually the eight seed with lynnon Christian being
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: the nine. Now, Tyler, we need to talk about some
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: things here because This is where it gets really weird.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: So Rochester was the one in the in the previous tournament,
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: Montseno and Alma were below them, but yet in the
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: state tournament, Rochester is the seventh seed, Alma's the five,
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 2: and Montesano is the one, and Seton Catholic is the four.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: Seton Catholic played Montesano in the championship game and they
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: will play in the semi finals. So this is one
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: of those times where I don't know if I agree
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: with the committee because if you were in the the
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: regional final, why would you put them in the semi finals.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think that makes a lot of sense. But heck,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about most of these teams, So
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: what the heck do I know? I know I know
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 2: two things, Tyler Lena Christians in it and somehow Klehalia
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: got into or Klahoya Klahiah. So so yeah, that's going
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: on out at Columbia Playfields in Richland. Tyler to you
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: will have all of that action while you're.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: Going to be out there. So yeah, I'll be there.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: I'm excited as my I don't know, six seventh year
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: in a row something like that. I love it. Out there,
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: and I feel it's weird because it's like I know
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: it really well. I know the neighborhood. I know, you
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: know where I can go get ice cream. I know
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: my favorite Mexican restaurant there. I know it's you know
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: what I mean. That's like it's one of those places
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: where I don't leave the county very often, but I
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: know Richland very well. Still be fun. I'm excited. No
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: me Mexico out there. No, maybe they have you Mexico. Tyler.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: We need to talk about the two A fast pitched
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: softball tournament. I mean we're at an hour forty two
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: and we haven't even talked about baseball yet, Tyler Sr.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: But let's see here we need to talk about Seahome
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison. We've got Squalicum Archbishop and Anacordis against Lakewood,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: but that doesn't really matter. So Anacortus beats Lakewood eight
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: to three, meaning they move on to play Linden in
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: the semi finals. Seahome Burlington Edison. The Tigers smack around
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: the Mariners twenty two to three, and then Archbishop Murphy
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: defeats Squalicum eighteen to three, meaning Burlington Edison and Archbishop Murphy.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: They end up in the other half of the bracket,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: and oddly enough, Squalicum and Seahome end up having to
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: play each other, where Seahome defeats Squalicum. So let's talk
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 2: about the two I guess the three games between Sea
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: Home Squalicum and then Seahome and Squalicum.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was there for all three of those, all
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: at Benderfield's there and again shout out to the grounds
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: crew for putting the fences back in after the men's
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: league the night before, and everything looked great. It was awesome,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean it was kind of everything kind
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: of went is expected. I mean, Archbishop huge favorite over Squalicum,
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: Burlington Edison huge favorite over Sea Home, so kind of
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: went as expected there. Although Squalicum, you know a couple
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: you know, Keisha McLeod, Blakeley Miller each had a couple
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: hits in that game against Archbishop Murphy. They put in
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: They put up one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: eight hits in that game, which I tell you the
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: storm they can they can score some runs. I mean
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: that's you know, the pitching has been the issue. But uh,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: they you know, but they were without one of their
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 1: best players Layla Standfford, which is which was really too bad.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much of a bigger difference it
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: would have made. I don't know about the archibisial game.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe in the Sea Home game, seem same type of
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: deal against Burlingtonison and the Tigers are very very good
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: up and down. They you know, they beat Lyndon in
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: the regular season. I mean they are a loaded team.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: Seem you know, is able to get four hits, score
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: three runs. You know, Uh two RBIs by Sarah Kruzich.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: A double byte just just sint to Lewis and and uh,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: but you know it was just overpowering. Now when they
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: played each other, this was a loser out game, you know,
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: you know, inner city rivalry game, all that stuff. See
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: them got the best of them, twelve to eight, and
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: a pretty pretty good game. Uh Squalicum. Actually they only
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: had four hits in that game but scored eight runs.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: And again it's just taking advantage of every little thing
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: that they could do. But See Home really really strong
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: in that one. Rebecca Peterson three for four with a
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: double two RBIs one of my favorite names. Radler Rose
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: Ellison of Seaholme was two for three with three runs
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: scores Radler, what a rad name that Jordan Walker was
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: two for four just sent to Lewis two for four
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: with another double three RBIs. Really she's just such a
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: great center field or strong strong arm.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: I've seen her play all over the place, third base,
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: right field, now kind of entrenched in center field. She's
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: the one who hit walk off game winning home run
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: against Meridian earlier in the year, which is a really
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: really cool moment. See Holme kIPS their season alive by
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: by beating the storm stormfall. But I looked at the
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: Squalumes roster, only one senior on the team. You bring
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: everybody back, I tell you what, they can work on
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: some pitching a little bit. And the one senior they
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: have was one of their pitchers. So you never know.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes a junior high player comes in and and all
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you got this freshman picture that you
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: know nothing about. That happens every year. I'm kind of
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: hoping one shows up at Squalcum because if they have that,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: they really have a good strong nucas to work with.
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: Seaholme kept their season alive, like I said, and with
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 1: the win over the Squalicum Storm.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the semi finals of the district tournament.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: That is Burlington Edison defeating Archbishop Murphy seven to three,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: and then Lyndon they defeat Anna Chortus ten. Nothing, Tyler,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: tell me what went on there?
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that one too. Again. You know, Callie Rammerman,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: we talked about her earlier. She was just dialed in
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: from the get go. You know, I think I think
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: she even had nine strikeouts in the first three innings.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: I mean it was just boom boom boom, boom, boom,
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: boom boom. I mean, if she was just nothing was
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: going to stop her. You know, Lions, it was. It
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: was a tricky situation going into it because you have
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: the bye, so you're the one team that hasn't played yet.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: So do you like the rest or and you're coming
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: off you know, anaccordus off the wind over Lakewood kind
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: of an upset there, so maybe they're on a little
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 1: bit of a high. So it's like, how much do
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: you really like playing that game? You just never know.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: But Linden, you know, they were out there warming up
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: for like an hour and a half. I mean, they
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: were playing catch, they were playing pepper, they were playing,
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: they were doing infield, they were doing outfield. They were like,
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: what's that? So it sounds like they had a practice
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 1: pretty much. I mean they were ready to go. I
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: mean I got there pretty early. I was got there
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: when the two games, but you know, all the games
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: before were happening, and they were out there run around practicing.
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, Coach Dykstra shaved this awesome kind of
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: handlebar hulk Hogan mustache, you know, and I was like,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: looks good, holk, you know, and he's like, oh yeah.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: The players, you know, they wanted me to do it
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: because he had the full beard the last time I
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: saw him, and and uh, you know, he's like, he's
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: like my wife said, if the players want to do it,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, you do fun things like that
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: and you get the girls excited and they play hard,
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: and they played. They played great in that one. Melanie
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: Anderson went you for two, scored twice, stole four bases
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: and she's just a terearor at the top of that lineup.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 1: But they scold. They still twelve paces as a team
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: in that one, and uh yeah, but you know, Kellie
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: Rammerman finished with fifteen strikeouts in that one. Allowed just
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: three hits. I mean it was it was all her,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: very very dominant, but the machine of the offense just
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: kept scoring runs and doing the little things and very
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: much a tear on the base paths.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: Now, that being said, Tyler, that wraps up May fourteenth
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: at Bender Fields. I assumed the sixteenth and seventeenth kind
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: of became Anna Chordis and Seahome because of the rain.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I play that they had to play that one.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: I think they played that one at Anacortus High School.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: They couldn't play at Benderfield. Yeah you're talking. I'm talking
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: about the championship. Oh yeah, the championship game was played
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: at Seahome High School.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so the championship was at Sea Home. There's
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 2: a couple of Constellation games played down at Daniels Field
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 2: in Anna cord Lakewood, who originally lost to Anna Chordis
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 2: Lake with the four seed goes zero to two. They
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 2: lose to Archibishop Murphy fourteen to seven, and then Anna
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: Chordis defeats Sea Home twenty to ten. So see Home
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: knocked out by the Seahawks. Yeah, that was a tough one.
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: Sarah Kruzich had an amazing game I mean, she is
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: just such a great, great player, but it's hard to
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: do it all by herself, but she she she sure
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: did try. She went four for four with a double,
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 1: a home run in six rbiyes. Wow, I mean that
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: is just doing so much. And you know, just sent
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: to Lewis too, had another two for three game, hit
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: a double in their third game of the tournament. Three straight,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: three games of tournament. He has a double in all
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: three of them. And you know, and they're both underclassmen too,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: which is really good for them for next year. And
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: you know, Vanessa Anderson had hit, Jordan Walker, Leah Lamisatelli,
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: they all had hits. But you know, it was just
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: too much. Anna Chordis, you know, Kruzi chad little bit
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: of struggle finding the striction. Did she did strike out
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: seven batters, but there was a handful of walks. Ana
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: Courtus took advantage and eliminated the Mariners.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 2: With the win Anna Chordis and Archbishop Murphy. They played
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 2: at one pm on the seventeenth at Seahome. Archbistoer Murphy
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 2: gets a win over Anna Chortus, who had lost to
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: Linden and Archbischer Murphy, who had lost to Burlington Edison.
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 2: But again, remember how this works. We get all these
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: crazy games down below where they end up having to
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: play the losers and only two teams going to state.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 2: So Linden Burlington Edison. I mean, this is a matchup.
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people would have, you know,
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 2: just been salivating to see here, Linden the one, Burlingston
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 2: Edison the three. Even though that's partly because Archbischer Murphy
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: kind of gets slotted in somewhere there. The Lions come
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: away with a five to four win to secure their
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: spot in the state tournament.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: This was a crazy game. You know, eleven am start
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: out at Seahome High School, and you know, I'm just
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 1: going to preface this by saying I kind of had
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: a heavy heart in this one. I went to the
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: emergency room the night before, taking my girlfriend there. She's
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: still in the hospital now and it's been really, really
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: tough weekend. And I left the hospital to go straight
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: to the Sea Home game, or the not Sea home game.
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: This game at Sea Home been in Burlington, and I
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: had a lot of emotions, kind of a heavy heart,
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: and I was, you know, trying to keep a strong
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: face for her, you know, my girlfriend Laura back in
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: the hospital, and it was And so I go to
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: the game and my mind's not really on the game,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: but I'm watching it. I'm in the dugout. It's kind
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: of raining, so I was able to get a good
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: spot in there and take some pictures and and but
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: before I know it, it's one one and we're going
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: to extra innings. And it was just it was crazy
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: because it was it was just it was so tight,
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 1: you know, and both teams scored in the first inning,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: so it was one one forever, and both teams had
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: really dominant pitching. And but the Tigers hit a home
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: run in the top of the eighth to take a
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: two to one lead, and that was a big crucial
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: blow because it was hadn't been a run scored for
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: over an hour, you know. And but Linden was able
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: to manufacture run. In the bottom of the inning, Kaya
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: Toll was hit by a pitch. It was disputed a
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: little bit because it was like kind of off the
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: hand or was it the hand, was it the wrist,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: was it the bat? But she got she got first base.
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: Casey de Young followed up with a bunch single, so
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: now you got two runners on Melanie Anderson ground was
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: into a fielder's choice, but it advanced Toll to third base,
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: which just went out and that was really important. Sarah
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: mcviee then slapped the ball left handed hitter down the
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: third baseline and legged out a single, which scored Toll
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: to tie the game. So that so the eighth inning
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: ended at two to two, so that was big. Okay,
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: each scored your run. We'll go to the ninth again.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: Rules permit when after the last out, whoever made the
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: last out of the eighth inning would start on second
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: base to begin the ninth inning. So Burlington starts off
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: top the night they had the runner on second. Uh,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: they able to hit, get a couple of base hits
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: and score a couple of runs, and that was like, Okay,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be tough because Lindon was gonna lead off
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: the inning I think with their cleanup hitter on second base,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna go five, six, seven in their lineup.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: They're really top heavy in their lineup. And because I
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: was even thinking, like the inning before, like this is
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: where you have to win it right here, because this
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: is where your big boppers are in the lineup. Yeah,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: and uh so, Emily, Emily mcveie the first baseman, starts
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: the inning at second base, and she quickly advanced a
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: third on a pass ball, which was you know, they're
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: down by two, so you're thinking, okay, that at least
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: you're you know, you're close there. I was gonna say,
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: you're ninety feet away, but not in fast pitch, and
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: we're like, you know, fifty eight feet it looks like
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: about ten, right, yeah. And then and then after that
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: and that was and then this is when Callie Rammerman
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: was up and showed that incredible, incredible patience and walked
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: on a three to two pitch and so she was
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: able to take first base. There was a strikeout earlier
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: in the inning, so there's a runner on first. She
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: gets pulled for a pinch runner. Jamie Huera enters the
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: game as a courtesy runner, and she promptly steals second
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: base to eliminate a force at second and so one out.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: And that was when Kylie mcviee came in, came up
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: to the play runner on second and third. You know,
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: one out, down by two, bottom of the ninth championship game.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, all these things that when you're in your backyard,
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: like you you know, I mean you and I have
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: both done this. I mean everyone's done this where you
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: know you're like bottom of the ninth, down by two,
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of runners on base.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: I still do sometimes with like my umbrella Tyler, Yes exactly.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: And and you know, she came up to the play
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: and you know, I think coming into that game, she
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: had five RBIs on the year five and you know,
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that her stroke really
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: hadn't been there much of the year, but there would
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: be moments when she get pretty good hits and she
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: and she just she crushed it over the right center
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: field fence. I mean, it was just one of those
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 1: moments where when that happened, it was like I felt
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: so horrible that I didn't catch it on video like
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: I did the penalty kick, because I was taking videos
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: the inning before, because like one hit would have done it,
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: but there was two runners on and I'm thinking, okay,
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: when when they score one or when they're tied up,
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: then I'm gonna start filming. I did not expect this
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: to happen. It came out of nowhere, and I lost
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: it emotionally. I'd held into these all these emotions from
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: being in the emergency room the night before, being in
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: there that morning, and I just I lost it, and
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: I the celebration was amazing. I mean, there's some great
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: videos from from behind the fence because it's kind of elevated,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: so you could sit like behind the center field fence
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: and be elevated and see everything. And and coach Dyksha
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: at third base, you know, I mean he did his
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: air ryland, you know, jump up in the air. I
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: mean it was I mean, and then he fell to
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: his knees. I mean, it was just one of those
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: moments where it couldn't have been scripted any better. She
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: scores her, you know, and then she and then she
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: breaks down in tears and the you know, the she's
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: surrounded by her teammates, and it was just one of
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: those moments. I go over and I hug Coachdikstra and
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: I'm crying because I told him, I was like, I've
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: had an emotional day, man, like I can't hold it
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: right now. And it was just one of those I
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: even text him later saying like, dude, I'm sorry, I
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: was that was unprofessional. I was just I was overtaken
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: by the moment. It was just one of those games
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: that you'll never forget. It was unbelievable and it locked
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: in a state birth for Lindon, which I think going
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: into even going into last year, it was kind of like, well,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: they might be down a little bit. Then they go
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: into the state tournament and they end up playing in
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: day two. I tell you what, man, there's something about
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: this team. And you know, when the you know, the
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: top fifty list comes out, I don't know if they're
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: to have more than four or five players on it,
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: but there's something about them collectively as a team, and
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: everyone knows their role, everyone does the right thing, and
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: they get wins. And I tell you and and Klie
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: Rammerman again, I mean she struck out thirteen or fourteen
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: more batters in that game. I mean you know, I
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: mean she gave up that home run in the eighth,
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: And that was what I was talking about, like Campbell
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: de Young going over there and talking to her and saying, hey,
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: like you are our best option, you are the reason
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: we're here, like saying things like that, and yeah, it was.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. I love to be able to be
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: a part of that. And again, it's just it was.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: It was fantastic.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: So with the win, Linden punches their ticket to State.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison. They would have to go down and play
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 2: in that single elimination losers out game. Just yeah, immediately, bam,
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 2: here you go. Well, I guess technically Ana Cortus and
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 2: Archibitcher Murphy had to play in between. But Archbitcher Murphy
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: defeats Anna Cortus thirteen to three. So then the Wildcats
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 2: they take on Burlington Edison, who they had already lost
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: to seven to three, and they find a way to
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 2: pull out a win nine to seven. It's kind of
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 2: crazy when you look at it. Archbicherck Murphy and Burlington
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: Edison played twice. Burlington scored seven runs in both games
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: and they went one on one. So Archbishop Murphy and
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: they also move on to State. Out of the out
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 2: of district one. Tyler, the let's talk about the state tournament.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 2: This is going to be in Sela starting on Friday.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting to me that Linden the number one.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, they end up not only did they the
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: number one seed, but they end up winning the tournament,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: the district tournament. They end up getting a nine seed. Yeah,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, I don't know anything about Franklin Pierce
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: or Sila or East Valley of Yakama or I don't know.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know nothing, But it just seems very strange
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: that Linden, the team, as good as they have been
• 1:58:58
  Speaker 2: over the years and everything and kind of having a name,
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: that they can't find a way to get anything better
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: than a nine seed. But they will take on at
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 2: eleven am on field three, they will take on the
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: Franklin Pierce Cardinals, who are sixteen and two on the season,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 2: their losses coming to Cascade Christian and to Olympic. That
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 2: an Olympic team that I just mentioned has a higher seed,
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: so so yeah, it's kind of interesting. If they win,
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 2: they will take on either Nathan Hale or Tombwater, who
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 2: will be playing on field four at a I would
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 2: think that that game probably doesn't even need to be played,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 2: if I'm being completely honest here, No offense to Nathan Hale.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah sorry, they are actually no, you know what, complete
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 2: defense because they are eight and fifteen on the season, Tyler.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: Eight, Come on, Burlington, how come Burlington can't get in there?
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: I mean Burlington was so good?
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my goodness. So the three lowest seeded teams here, Tyler,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking at this right now. The three lowest
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 2: seeded teams are all three from District two. You've got
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 2: Cedar Crest thirteen and thirteen. You've got Evergreen who is
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: eighteen and six. But yeah, they've got absolutely crushed by
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 2: a few teams here. I mean, they lost ten twelve
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 2: to two to Nathan Hale, who is actually seated below them.
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 2: They also lost ten to two to Cedar Crest. I mean,
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's kind of weird. I don't I
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 2: guess I don't understand how some of this stuff works.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 2: I Tyler, you know, this is where I get called
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: a Twitter warrior by the people of the WIAA because
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: I speak out on things like this. But so, yeah, anyway, Lynden,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 2: they will take on Franklin Pierce on Friday eleven am.
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 2: If they win, they will play at three thirty PM
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 2: against either Nathan Hale or Tombwater. If they lose, they
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 2: will take on They will take on the loser of
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: Nathan Haile Tom Water in that game would be at
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 2: one thirty. So they quick turn around, boom, right back
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: to it. So again that is out in Silas, So Tyler,
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: you'll have all of that, maybe even be able to
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: snag a game or two here. So yeah, we'll see
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: what goes on there.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: Let's see what do we gotta do? Oh, we gotta go.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: Player of the week here, Tyler. Player of the Week
• 2:01:20

• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: over there, Tyler. But who is the Walcome Wolverines Player
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: of the week.
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: It's always tricky when you're looking at playoffs and different
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 1: things like that, and you know, a lot of games
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: and a short amount of time. And I mean, Elena
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: Dykster had an amazing week, you know, Roxanne Lenning had
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: just a fantastic week. I mean, when they needed to
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: win that game to get into the state tournament for
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: that fifth seed out of that you only only five,
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 1: we're going to go that bi different tournament. She pitched
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: that final game and they won, and you know, she
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: hit another home run in that game. And but when
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 1: you're just talking about a single moment, it doesn't get
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: more magical than that three run home run by Kylie
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: mcviee in the bottom of the ninth, and so I
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: have to give it to Kylie mcviee of Linden. I mean,
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: it was it was just and maybe it's because I
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: was there in person, but to hit a game winning
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: run in the bottom of the ninth to win the championship,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just doesn't get much much much better
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 1: than that. And and I know it's based on basically
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: one swing of the bat, but just the emotion that
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: it brought and to everybody that was there, it was,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: it was. It was really amazing. And it's it's a
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: lot like the Baine Mitchell you know, block. I mean,
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's really one main moment to win
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: the district championship and that's what they those athletes did.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: And those are your players of the week, and the

• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: in his career, also has twelve doubles on the year.
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: Alden Scott of Bellingham was getting super close. He ended

• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: of Mount Baker, all with one home run each.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 2: Let's go batting average and runs batted in?
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Austin Engles for seventy four. Average was over five
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: hundred for much of the year. Now you're getting into
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: that postseason play, it's going to drop a little bit,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 1: that's expected, but still a very very high average four
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: to seventy four. Also a twenty seven runs batted in
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: on the year. He's getting close to like ninety in
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: his career something like that. I mean, that's just it's
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: just crazy. I mean, the product he's had, it's just insane.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: Twenty seven RBIs so far this year.
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 2: Well, let's go runs, stolen bases and walks Tyler.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so a lot of guys at the top line
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: up here, Trey Alexander of Meridian with twenty nine runs scored.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 1: The guy, you know, left handed hitter, a lot of speed,
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: really good contact, and once he gets on the basis
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: he is going so scored twenty nine runs, A lot
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: of good guys behind him, stolen bases. Joe Harvard of Bellingham,
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: the catcher, bat's leadoff. Don't need to give him a sign,
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: he will just go twenty seven steals. I think he
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: had five in one game this past week, or it
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: might have been a couple of weeks ago. Just you know,
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: he just goes, goes, goes. And then his teammate Kai
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: Nelson of Bellingham finished with twenty two walks on the year.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: That's his extremely patient there, and you know that's that
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: says a lot. I mean that. You know, there's a
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much you play MLB the show,
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: but there's this thing where you listen to the commentators
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: where one of them says to the other one that
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: never played baseball, goes, do you think you could draw
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 1: a walk in a major league game? And he says, well,
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 1: it depends what kind of scouting report the picture has,
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: which I think is pretty good, you know, because if
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: they yeah, because if you just go up there and
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: hold the bat, yeah, you could draw a walk if
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: they don't know that you can't hit, you know, yeah,
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: I mean Ky Nelson. Yeah, Ky Nelson sure can't hit,
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: but drawing twenty two walks pretty impressive.
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: Did you catch any of the Mariners game today?
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: I did actually catch about an inning, well, the seventh maybe, Okay, Well,
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: if you were watching the ninth you would have seen.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: What's the guy's name, Bizarto or whatever it is.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: He came in.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: I think he threw like nine or ten straight balls
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: to start the ninth inning.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, I was pulling my hair out
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: like Bobby I all over again. Oh my goodness.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 2: Either are the names that we could put out there,
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: the Bobby, the Heathcliff Slocums. I mean yeah, there's so
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: many names that we could put out there in the
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 2: bullpen that would just I mean, you know.
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: One of them all Spool, Jeric Paul full.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 2: Jerrick who we traded for or we got for, Julio
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 2: Cruz Junior. What was the uh agat Brendan Morrow?
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: Do you remember?
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 2: Like they kept moving him from starter to Clara right, Yeah,
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 2: I just want to pull my hair out. And I
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 2: mean even JJ Putts at times was just awful. Ye, Tyler,
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something here, Austin Angles is the racy
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 2: zender of baseball because all three percentages, the slugging percentage,
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 2: the on brace percentage, the on base plus slugging racy
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 2: zender in fast pitch, Austin Angles in baseball.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of seniors that we've seen for four
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: years dominate the sport and that's really cool to see
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 1: both of them continue their their their greatness. Austin angles
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 1: slugging percentage is six seventy one on base at five
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: to seventy four combines for twelve forty six ops. And
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: this season is still going. So he's gonna face some
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: touch pitching here in the next week, hopefully two weeks,
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 1: and we'll see if he can sustain those numbers.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about pitching stats and we'll go with
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 2: the wins and innings pitch, Tyler.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hudson Nef of Seahome, just a junior, finished with
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 1: six wins on the year. Again, Lindon Christian is still going.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: I believe they have a couple guys with four wins,
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: so that number could be matched. I don't know if
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: it could be topped. We'll have to see. And then
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: an innings pitched. It's a lefty freshman, Cameron Schmidt of
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: Squalicum sixty three and a third innings. I tell you what.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 1: He was bive par of their go to guy on
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: the mound. So whenever they could squeeze one hundred and
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 1: five pitches out of him, they were doing it, and
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 1: which usually meant a lot of complete games, and it's like,
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 1: oh and now it's been so many days, you can
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: pitch again. Let's do it again one hundred and five pitches.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: So he was up for the challenge. Really good fastball,
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 1: very good curveball, so really excited for his future. We'll
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: finish it off with strikeouts and e er. Yeah. Matthew
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 1: Carroll of Lyndon with the finished with eighty five strikeouts
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: on the year, and that's over. I think, like I think,
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: less than fifty innings, so you're talking close to two
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: strikeouts per inning. That's really burning it up there. And
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: then the sophomore lefty from Blaine, Josh Cochrane, led with
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: a one point two eight ERA, so a lot of
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: bright futures here. All of these pitchers are underclassmen, so
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: excited about the future baseball in Walkome County.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 2: That is it for stats again. Thank you to j
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: e KK Sports Cards for their support in sponsoring the
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: stat leaders. Tyler, Let's talk about the one A District
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 2: one two.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: That's kind of funny.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 2: The one A District one to two baseball tournament here
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: at Joe Martin and over at Sea Home and let's see,
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a recap. Blaine lost to over Lake
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: Bear Creek six nothing. This is going back a week.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 2: King's defeated Living Christian eight seven, the University Prep loses
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 2: to Meridian for three, and then Cedar Pork Christian defeats
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 2: South would be six to one, so that moves us
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: into the semi finals where over Lake Bear Creek defeated
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: Kings and that was nine to seven, and then Cedar
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: Park Christian defeated Meridian nine to three. So over Lake
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 2: Bear Christian into the district championship game on Saturday at
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: Joe Martin Stadium and Cedar Pork Christian defeats over Lake
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: Bear Creek six to two. Both those teams headed into state,
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 2: but our Waukam County teams were down on the bottom
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: side of the bracket after a couple of losses here.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 2: So Lynnen Christian defeated Blaine last week, won nothing. South
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 2: would be defeated University Prep two one the losers of
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 2: the semi final games, so Kings and Meridian they would
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 2: jump into that bracket where Lynnen Christian and Meridian would
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 2: play a one pm game on Saturday at Joe Martin.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: That was lynn Christian defeating Meridian six excuse me, ten
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: to six, and then Kings defeated South Widby won to nothing.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: So Kings and Linen Christian move on. But let's talk
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: about Linen Christian against Meridian.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 1: First. Yeah, this is a really really close game. Early
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: Elsie took a lead, Trojans tied it up at four
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 1: to four in the bottom of the second, So you
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: think four to four after two innings, this might be
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 1: kind of getting out of hand, a lot of runs
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: being scored. Neither team hasn't played in a week, and
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: who knows how much practice they were able to get
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 1: with kind of the rain and stuff like that, so
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: it was a little bit of a sloppy game early.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: Some mental errors happening, you know, in the field, different
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 1: things like that. You know, there was a lot of
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: chippiness with some calls and there might have been an
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 1: assistant coach that got tossed and stuff like that, and
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: and but you know, it's a you know, the basically
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: winners state loser out. I mean, that's what it is.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: And that in that first game of the day, which
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 1: is kind of unique, and because you know, if you win,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: you're in, but you play and then it's kind of
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: for seeding, I guess after that, but the Links were
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 1: able to score three runs over the next couple of
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: innings to retake the lead. Iriadian scored in the bottom
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: of the fourth and the bottom of the sixth cut,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: which cut lynnon Christian's lead to just one run is
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 1: seven to six, but the Links entered back with three
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: more in the top of the seventh behind RBIs from
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: Eli Mayberry and Eli Stamps, and then Mayberry scored on
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 1: a box so Childrens were able to get a couple
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: of runners on base in the bottom of the seventh
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 1: but couldn't score, and that was it. I mean, Meridian
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 1: end of the season eleven and twelve. I think that
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they you know, their program is
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: you know, state playoffs. I mean that is their goal
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 1: every year and that's the way they've been and it was,
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: you know, it was tough not having Jonah Aussi this year, obviously.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: I mean he is probably the best pitcher in one
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 1: A heading to LSU and you think, you know, with him,
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you got a really good shot, but
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: without him you had to And and there's not just pitching.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: Great hitter as well, from the left handed side of
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: the plate. You get Jager Fife back from taking a
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 1: year off baseball. He had a great, great year. He
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: hit well over four hundred, which people are probably going,
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 1: what I never saw that all year on the leaders. Well, yeah,
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: he's the number two hitter in the league. And but
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: Meridian finished with an eleven and twelve record. They they
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 1: they threw Nate Payne out there to pitch, and when
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: he got in trouble, they finished with Jager Fife. And
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 1: it just you know, ELC is one of those teams
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: that they just put the bat on the ball. They
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: don't strike out very much. They got a ton of
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: left handed hitters and it just kind of, you know,
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: they just know how to keep scoring runs, keep scoring runs.
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: Sam Cock got his fifth win of the year, goes
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: five and two, and Eli Mayberry came in and pitched
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: the last inning or and a half or two winnings
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 1: or so and got his second save of the year.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 1: But it was a lot of good offense by the Links,
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 1: and you know, just a good overall performance and it
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: ended the season for the for the for the Trojans,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: but they'll be back. They always find a way, you know,
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 1: they beat Lyndon late late in the year. It's just
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: a really good program and and they just always find
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: a way to play really good baseball.
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 2: Like you said, kind of with win, Lynn Christian does
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 2: punch their ticket to the state tournament. They did have
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 2: to play a game against Kings, who defeated them eight
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 2: seven the weekend before in the opening round of this tournament.
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 2: So Lynn Christian does get their revenge against the Knights
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 2: and that's a two to one win.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was good to kind of get
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: their revenge. I mean again, both teams are going to
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 1: State already, but I'm sure there's a little bit of
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: seeding involved with you know, if you can win this
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: one at least Elon Mayberry started this game after picking
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: up the save and the you know, an hour before
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: he starts this game, you know, pitches to his limit.
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: Jackson Houliot comes in, gets the last couple pitches the
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: last few innings, gets his second safe of the year.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: Eli Stamps goes two for three, Jackson Houliot goes one
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: for three and with an RBI. Sam cock All had
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 1: had the other RBI keep keep a uh you know,
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: I on this name Braiden Angles. So you're talking to
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 1: Austin's little brother, the freshman. He had three doubles on
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: this day, two in the first game, one in this one, Uh,
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: that one in the one in the second one was
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 1: big because he ended up scoring the eventual game winning
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: run after he hit the double was driven in by
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 1: Jackson Elliot. So and again Eli Maybray got the win
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 1: and only gave up three hits after getting the save
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 1: in the game before. So yeah, great overall effort. You know,
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 1: I after watching the links, you know for most of
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: the season, you kind of got the idea that they
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 1: would be, uh, you know, kind of the one of
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 1: the top teams out of Walkin County to do any
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: damage in the state playoffs. Turns out there the only
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: team going to the state playoffs. On the one A side,
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the two A in a little bit.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: I think everyone kind of knows what happened there. Uh,
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: But but the Links, Uh, they they're just such a
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 1: well rounded team. And the one thing about them is
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: they don't have that major arm on the mound. They
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: got four guys that are really good pitchers. They don't
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 1: have that super duper ace, which you see that a lot,
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 1: especially in the playoffs where you get to the state tournament,
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: where you know, if you have a guy or two guys,
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 1: that's that's how you get there. They rely on good pitching,
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: great hitting, and you know, stealing some bases, playing good defense,
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. So that doesn't mean they're not great pitchers.
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 1: They just they don't have that guy that's throwing you know,
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 1: high eighties and stuff like that, which could be really
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: dominant at the one A level.
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the one A state tournament. Tyler Seaton Catholic.
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 2: They get the number one overall seed, Seaton Catholic out
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 2: of the Vancouver area Cedar Park Christian who won the
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 2: the district. They get the two seed. The three seed
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 2: goes to the center than the four seed goes to Montseno,
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 2: so Monaseno really high in both girls and boys here
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 2: with fast pitch and baseball.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: Seaton Catholic too, yeah or reversed.
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's actually pretty funny, Kashmir. They are the
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 2: sixth seed, that is who Lynn and Christian will take on.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 2: This game will be played at ten am on Saturday
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 2: at Camus High School. So I would think, I mean,
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, call me crazy, I would think Lynn
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 2: and Christan will go down the night before because ten
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 2: am that's a very very early wake up call to
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 2: get down there. I mean, unless they want to be
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 2: leaving at like five am, maybe even before that.
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: I don't even know that. Probably I've driven to Camus
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: a few times recently and it's ways. Well.
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 2: From from my house, it's to Lennon Christian is about
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 2: an hour and a half. From my house to Camus
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 2: is like three hours.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 2: You know you want to be there early enough to
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: be able to take some VP and you know, get
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 2: some work in.
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and the links are going to definitely want
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: to stop by your house on the way.
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 2: So I mean, if they want to. I've got nothing
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 2: going on Friday night and we got eliminated. So what
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 2: the heck Kashmir. They are nineteen and five on the season.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 2: Losses to Royal Zilla, not two to Nachis Valley. They
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: got swept by Nachiese Valley and then one loss to
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 2: Kilona Benton, who then they beat later that day. Five nothing.
• 2:18:20
  Speaker 2: You know, I saw a lot of people online kind
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 2: of mad about where Kashmir was placed in this and
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 2: as I look at their schedule, yeah, Royal and Zilla
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 2: are both in the state tournament. But Nachi's Valley they
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 2: did not even make the state tournament and they lost
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 2: twice to them, and then Keona Benton also did not
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 2: make the state tournament they lost to them. So I mean,
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a whole lot of there's
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of guff to really have about being
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 2: a sixth seed. I mean, it's a pretty good spot
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 2: when you have three what I would consider being you know,
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 2: maybe not so great losses. But you know, looking over
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 2: the rest of the bracket, if Lynn and Christian is
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 2: to win, they will then take on the winner of
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 2: Colville and Center, which is interesting because usually you would
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 2: like the you would like the higher seed or like
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 2: the highest seed with les Center. Usually you would like
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 2: them to play that ten am game to get a
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 2: little bit of time off before playing, you know, a
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 2: second game in a row. So it's kind of interesting
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 2: that it's actually kind of backwards there. I believe I
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 2: could be wrong here. I believe les Center gets to
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 2: pick that.
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say they probably got the
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 1: option first.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which usually you would want to take that, you know,
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 2: have a little bit of a break there. I can
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 2: tell you this much. When we won the ten am
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 2: game last year in the state tournament, we were very
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 2: very happy to not have to play again right away,
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So yeah, so yeah, I
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 2: don't know, but uh Lynden, uh excuse me, lynnon Christian
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 2: they will be playing ten am at Camus High School.
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 2: If you're headed down that way, absolutely do not go
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 2: to a place called Top Burger.
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: It is awful.
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 2: It is one of the worst rated ones I've ever had.
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 2: There's a really good place though, called Crave Grill. Or
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 2: there's Killer Burger, which is very good down that way too. Yeah,
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 2: that's the one A state tournament, and what went on
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 2: this week in one A Tyler, Let's jump over and
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 2: talk about two A, where we had Bellingham into the
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 2: district championship game. But there was also some loser out
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 2: stuff that was going on this week as well. Archbishop Murphy.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 2: They were taken on the Linden, the Wildcats come away
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 2: with a three to two win over the Lions, and
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 2: then Seahome taking on Burlington Edison and the Mariners pulled
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 2: off a one nothing win over the Tigers. Let's talk
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 2: quickly about that, Archbishop Murphy. Three two went over Lindon.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ten inning game. Wildcats scored two in the top
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: of the tenth to win the game. And are they
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 1: scored on a two out single, I should say to
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: left field to win the game. Lions weren't able to
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 1: answer in the bottom of the tenth and that was
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: that for Lyndon. J Noakes hit a home run in
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 1: that game. It was a crazy stat line. He was
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: one for five with a solo home run and four strikeouts.
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: And I'm and I wanted to look online to see
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: if anyone's ever done that in the MLB, and I'm
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 1: sure like jose Canseco and and you know, uh, Reggie Jackson,
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: the guys that were big time home run strikeout guys. Yeah,
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: I just you know has probably done that, but but
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 1: that was you know, that was big because obviously you
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 1: needed that just just to get into extra innings. You know,
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: Matthew Carroll went three for four with a double. You know,
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 1: he pitched the last He didn't start the game, but
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 1: he pitched the last four or five innings of that game,
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 1: ended up taking the loss. He is their ace, you know.
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: Gavin Guttermson started it, pitched really well, and it was
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 1: just it's just tough. You know. The Lions finished at
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 1: twelve and twelve on the year, which is kind of
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: strange for them, I guess, just having so many great
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: years in a row. But there was a lot of
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: new varsity guys this year and that happens. Plus they
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: had like the guys they had returning. I'm not sure
• 2:21:59
  Speaker 1: if there were injuries or whatever, but like, like Tristan
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: Thomas is a great, great player. He was their catcher
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 1: last year. You know, they get all the way into
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 1: the final four in state and he was gonna play
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 1: third base this year and he only played the first
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: few games. I don't know if there was an injury
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 1: or what. Like he's playing college baseball. You start missing
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 1: guys like that. That you're depending on to do some
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: big things and and that's tough. So Lyndon season season
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 1: comes to an end, and the CEO and Burlington game,
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was crazy because I you know, I
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: was looking at Ryder McGrath pitched that game for the Mariners,
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys that he seems like
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 1: he's been pitching for the Mariners forever, you know, since
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 1: he was a freshman. He's just one of those tall,
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 1: lanky guys that just throws hard. And he had pitched
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight innings coming into that game,
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 1: and and he was one of those guys that just
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 1: never got run support, Like he put up great numbers
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: that he'd lose like two to one.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 2: Or that sounds like Mariners. I mean, it sounds like
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 2: Jamie Moyer, sounds like Felix Hernandez.
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 1: Very much like Felix, right, And and then this send
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 1: up being like the most important, you know, game of
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: his career, and he throws a one hitter against a
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: really good Tiger team and and they, you know, they
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 1: eliminated Burlingtonnison, they staved off elimination, and that that was huge.
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 1: The loan run in the game came when Gunner tweet
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: singled the right field Brendan the Plant scored later on
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 1: that play on an air Yeah, and it was just
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: it was huge. I mean, Hudson f goes two for
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 1: four with a stolen base and and the Mariners got
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: to keep their season alive. And Ryder McGrath, I mean
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 1: that guy throws really hard. He's about six foot six,
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 1: and he had you know, he's one of those guys
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 1: that he's just so talented, Like he had a little
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 1: bit of arm issues and ended up, you know, Batton
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 1: left handed a little bit during the year because I
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: think it was better for his arm, and he was
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 1: getting hits. I mean, he's just he's one of those
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 1: guys that he's not a switch hitter. He just go
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 1: bat left handed and get a hit, like, yeah, this
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 1: is what I do. You know, I'm a base My.
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 2: Dad would yell at him, but yeah, yelled at yeah.
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And but I think it was it was it
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 1: was purposely for his arm. I was something that you know,
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 1: is he did it. You know, he was working on
• 2:24:06
  Speaker 1: it during practice and coaches let him do it, and
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 1: and just one of those great baseball players. And he
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 1: pitched the game of his life, but one hitter against
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: Burlington and got to keep playing.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 2: You know, Tyler, it's funny you say that it was
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 2: because of you know, for his arm, and you know,
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 2: I was having all kinds of arm problems. I eventually
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 2: stopped playing baseball because of it. And I wonder if,
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 2: like subconsciously I did that because it felt better about
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 2: that way. Yeah maybe, I.
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 1: Mean I never thought about it, but it's very left handed.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: When I knew I was gonna bunt.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a good scouting report there to thank you.
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 1: Well. Yeah, back then they didn't really keep tracking too much.
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 1: There was no game changer. No, okay, so he definitely
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 1: was not a game changer. I'll tell you that. Now
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 1: you're a bench changer.
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 2: Uh see home one one nothing went over BURLINGTONNIS and
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 2: moves them on to Thursday where they took on art
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 2: pitch at Murphy and what has become a by the
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 2: way Tyler, I looked it up to, it was fast
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 2: pitch baseball and soccer where Archbishop Murphy got into the
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 2: loser's bracket and had to win three games, and they did.
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 2: They did it all three because they got a five
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 2: nothing win over Sea Home here.
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no hitter too, And that's tough. You know, you lose,
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: you're eliminated. You don't get a hit. You know, Gunner
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 1: Anderson Tyson Goodman each reached base on a walk. Goodman
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: stole a base. But Gabalas uh, you know, the new
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 1: Gaballast struck out fourteen patters, no hitter. That's a ne
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 1: f pitch the complete game. But you know, his record
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 1: dropped from six to two to six and three. And
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: that was that Sealm ended with thirteen wins on the year,
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 1: was the first time they'd won double digit games since.
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 1: I believed before COVID, the team they had right before
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 1: COVID was or may have been two teams before that,
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 1: but they had a really good team that got to
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: the Final four, and with Jacob Kaepernick and all those guys,
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 1: and and but it's it's been a while, you know,
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 1: and I and it's cool to see Sea Home back.
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 1: And because you think of you think baseball, you think
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 1: Sea Home, and it's cool to have that kind of back.
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 1: Right now. I have a sub or not a sub
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 1: but above five hundred record for the first time since
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: since before COVID, and and it's a great thing for
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 1: that program. I mean they had I don't know, four
• 2:26:22
  Speaker 1: or five starting lineup guys, a refreshmen. So you look
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 1: at that team and go, they could really do some
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 1: good things. Yes, Ryder McGrath graduates and he's been a
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 1: fixture in that lineup for a long time. But there's
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: some really good youngsters that are going to be around.
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 1: And Jackson Evans they lose their he's their catcher. I'm
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 1: not sure who the next catcher is up in line.
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they got somebody. It's just a really loaded,
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 1: youthful program. So I'll be interested in that. But see
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: home drops and the season comes to an end.
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 2: So that was the three point thirty game on Thursday
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 2: out at Daniels Field and Nanna Cordis. The six pm
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 2: game was Ana Quorda and Bellingham, the one versus the
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 2: six yeap. Bellingham went on a roll here. I mean
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 2: it was pretty crazy. I remember going, whoa, Hey, what's going?
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 2: I think I even texted you what the heck got
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 2: into Bellingham?
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 1: And you were like, oh wow, yeah, Jeff Beard and
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 1: texted the exact same thing.
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 2: Well, great mind stick alike in this case. I don't
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 2: know whether that applies, but uh yeah, Ana Chordis pulls
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 2: out a five to four win over Bellingham to punch
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 2: and their ticket to state.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean belly Am playing in their first district
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 1: championship game in thirteen years, see, and the Seahawks were
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 1: defending their title from last year. So it was a
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a very you know we've been here
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: before to this upstart, you know, Bellingham playing out of
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 1: their minds. A Bellyam rallied from a three to one
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 1: deficit with two outs in the top of the seventh
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 1: c R Griffith single to left field. That was followed
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 1: up by single off the bat of Jasper Love and
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 1: then Joe Harvard reached base on an air to load
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 1: the bases and that was when Alden Scott came up
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: hit a double his I don't know tenth eleventh of
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 1: the year or whatever, cleared the bases, gave Bellingham a
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 1: four to three lead and the seventh inning and you're talking,
• 2:28:05
  Speaker 1: this is like are you kidding me? And the emotions
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: ran extremely high and the Bayhawk dugout, but Antacurtus quickly
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: grabbed the momentum after that, loading the bases with two hits.
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: With two hit batters I'm sorry to begin the bottom
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: of the seventh, and then a sacrifice fly tied the
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: game and a follow up single won it for the Seahawks.
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 1: So really, you know, you get really high, you take
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 1: that lead in the seventh, and you lose it in
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: the bottom of the seventh, and that's really tough. I mean,
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 1: what a magical run for Bellingham. They were still in
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: it at this point. But man, if they could have
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 1: beat Anti Chortus in that one. And we know that,
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Anachortus now the district champion and getting the
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 1: one seed in the state playoffs, So that tells you
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 1: a lot about how right there Belliam was right there
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: to try to nab that game. And that's what's weird
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 1: about baseball is that things like that can happen. You
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: can get hot, and you can you know, things can happen,
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: and the game is so momentum filled, and you know,
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 1: it's not so much about like dynamic athletes as much
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 1: as about repetition and skills and things like that, and
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 1: so it's a unique game. I love it. Baseball is
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 1: my favorite just pure game out there. But Bellingham falls
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 1: in this one and a really tough one.
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and with the loss, Bellingham would now have to
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 2: go into that winner to State loser out game against
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 2: Archbishop Murphy, and Archbishop Murphy needed to win three straight games.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 2: They needed to do it against three Wotcom County teams,
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 2: and not only did they beat them, but they only
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 2: gave up two total runs in the process because they
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 2: ended up shutting out Sea Home five nothing we already
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 2: talked about, and then shut out the BayHawks ten nothing,
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 2: so secure their tournament and end the season of the BayHawks.
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it for Bellingham. The magic ran out.
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 1: They finished the year nine and sixteen. It's just one
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: of those crazy years for them. It was a really, really,
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 1: really tough start. They were just getting shell locked in
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, like multiple times, getting no
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 1: hit stuff like that. And then things started to turn
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: it around and it kind of bounced around. But once
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 1: they started the district tournament they got hot. It was
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: all going well. They just fell at the end. This
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 1: is again a very young team, you know, Kay Nelson, Alden, Scott,
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Harward, you know, Eli good Buffalo, Like these guys
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 1: are coming back like there there's a lot of youth
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 1: on this team and it's gonna be They're gonna be
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 1: one of those top teams next year, and so I'm
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 1: excited about the future. I know I say that a lot,
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 1: but it just didn't happen this year. It got a
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 1: lot of people's hopes up. It got really excited. It
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 1: became the talk of the town. I mean people texted me, like,
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 1: like I said earlier, saying, what's going on with with Bellingham?
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 1: And I know, people running into me at games being like,
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Bellingham? And I'm like, hey, I
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 1: go they have some big time players. Those top four
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: in the lineup are legit dudes, and you get them
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 1: all going at the same time, and thing things can happen.
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 1: You just never know. So it's tough because you get
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 1: so close in that championship game and then you know
• 2:31:03
  Speaker 1: kind of lay an egg against the Wildcats and sometimes
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 1: that hangover is reel. And our archbishop was on a roll.
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 1: You know, they were beating you know, they just no
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 1: hit Sea home. You know, they beat Lyndon in that
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: ten inning thriller. I mean, they have the big time
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 1: momentum going and Bellingham kind of came out flat.
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 2: And that's what happens the two way state tournament obviously
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 2: not featuring any Wackam County teams, but it will be
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 2: played the semi finals and the finals will be played
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 2: at Joe Martin Stadium. The one seed ana Chordis they
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 2: will take on the Aberdeen. They will host Aberdeen at
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 2: Daniels Field and Ana chordis on Saturday. The two seed
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 2: is Bainbridge, The three seed is Sela. The four seed
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 2: is WF West. WF West is taking on chief Self
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 2: Tyler chief Self their first state tournament appearance in forty years.
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 1: Wow, yes, since South was on the team. Yeah, chief himself,
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 1: right himself. Oh man, it's late, Tyler.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: It's eleven thirty one. We've been going for two and
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 2: a half hours and I have to wake up at
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 2: five am. So oh, I'm sorry. So yeah, we need
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 2: to talk about the player of the weeks. We can
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 2: get this over weight.
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, we do.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 2: The six Funeral and Cremation Services they do sponsor the
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 2: player of the week for baseball eighth nine West Orchard
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 2: Drive Sweet two in Bellingham three six zero six five
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 2: six fifty four fifty nine Tyler, who is the sixth
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 2: Funeral in the Cremation Services player of the week.
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I landed on Eli Mayberry on this one. I
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 1: thought that it's I mean, he played big in both games,
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 1: pitched in both games, getting the save in game one
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 1: and then getting the win in game two. The first
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 1: game was more important because you had to win that
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 1: one to keep your season alive and get to State,
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 1: and him coming here. He had two hits in that one,
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 1: including a triple early on, which got the game kind
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 1: of going with the scoring, and then you know, came
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 1: on to close. It takes a cake that win, which
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 1: was huge, and then he you know, he only get
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 1: you only gave up three hits over five innings in
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 1: Game two and that and that kind of that revenge
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: win over Kings. So I got to give it to
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 1: Eli Maryberry. He's had an amazing year, batting right at
• 2:33:14
