0:50
Speaker 2: a grind and every day is practice and everything. But man,

1:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I'm I'm still recovering a little bit from
1:04
Speaker 1: the from the old illness there. And if it sounds
1:06
Speaker 1: like I'm sucking on a throat losnge. It's because I
1:08
Speaker 1: am so you might hear me. I don't know if
1:12
Speaker 1: you could hear that, but you might hear me tossing
1:14
Speaker 1: around in the mouth every now and then. But let's
1:17
Speaker 1: see here, we need to give a thank you to
1:18
Speaker 1: Landon Downey of Meridian for the intro. A young man
1:22
Speaker 1: that has probably been picked more than anybody in the
1:25
Speaker 1: history of our fantasy teams, and I'm sure he'll probably
1:28
Speaker 1: get picked again today. So we didn't give a thank
1:31
Speaker 1: you to Kurt Mayberry Farm. Kurt Mayberry Farmer is a

Speaker 1: R R y farm dot com. Tyler, you had told
1:53
Speaker 1: me we're picking up some new sponsors here. People are
1:57
Speaker 1: getting a hold of you. How can they get ahold
2:00
Speaker 1: of you? If other people want to get involved? Yeah,
2:03
Speaker 1: just the easiest way is through social media. Just look
2:05
Speaker 1: for walking preps, send a message. Got a few of
2:08
Speaker 1: them on Sunday night, and I got one the Sunday
2:11
Speaker 1: night before seems like Sunday night is the time when
2:14
Speaker 1: you know, people are you know, well, their weekend is
2:16
Speaker 1: winding down, they're on their phones, they're looking at things
2:19
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, look at this, and then they
2:21
Speaker 1: send a message.
2:22
Speaker 2: I mean, I just happened to post something last Sunday
2:24
Speaker 2: night that showed that my Instagram had over one point
2:29
Speaker 2: four million views in the last thirty days, and all
2:31
Speaker 2: of a sudden I started getting messages from businesses saying, hey,
2:35
Speaker 2: how can I sponsor? And that was awesome and and
2:38
Speaker 2: now it's actually one point five million over the last
2:40
Speaker 2: thirty days, so things are still going well. But that's
2:43
Speaker 2: the best way to look. Just look for walking preps
2:46
Speaker 2: through any social media and send a message and just
2:50
Speaker 2: you know, and it could be open and from there,
2:53
Speaker 2: you know, I usually say, here's my phone number, let's
2:55
Speaker 2: let's talk, you know, and so we can actually talk
2:57
Speaker 2: it out and kind of figure things out. And you
3:00
Speaker 2: just never know what what people are gonna want to
3:02
Speaker 2: sponsor and what's you know, there's lots of things that
3:04
Speaker 2: are available and and yeah, they're they're coming in. They're
3:08
Speaker 2: coming in pretty pretty fast right now. So uh, and
3:11
Speaker 2: winter seasons rapidly approaching, so uh, you know, but basically
3:16
Speaker 2: in six weeks it'll be beginning of winter and stuff
3:19
Speaker 2: like that. So so yeah, lots of available things right now.
3:23
Speaker 2: And it's really exciting because I kind of almost feel like,
3:27
Speaker 2: on one hand, I feel like, you know, all this
3:30
Speaker 2: hard work and everything is actually literally paying off now
3:34
Speaker 2: at the moment to where I can breathe a little
3:36
Speaker 2: bit and things are kind of kind of smooth. But
3:39
Speaker 2: on the other hand, I'm always like, every day I'm
3:41
Speaker 2: going to get better. Every day I'm going to do more.
3:43
Speaker 2: I do not want to rest on my laurels. I'm
3:45
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna keep on going. I'm gonna
3:48
Speaker 2: keep on pushing. And every day is the super Bowl,
3:50
Speaker 2: and so it's it's kind of a funny dynamic of
3:52
Speaker 2: both of those and but it helps me get better
3:55
Speaker 2: and it helps me continue to like and love what
3:59
Speaker 2: I do.
4:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, if if somebody was interested, Tyler,
4:02
Speaker 1: I think a good thing to do right now is
4:04
Speaker 1: get on for the winner. But you know what, come
4:07
Speaker 1: in and say, hey, how about for an extra couple
4:10
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, I sponsor this too, for the rest of football, for.
4:13
Speaker 2: The rest of the right for the rest of the
4:16
Speaker 2: fall season.
4:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, how about I sponsor the uh the daily
4:19
Speaker 1: write ups for whatever and uh, you know, let's do wrestling. Yep,
4:26
Speaker 1: you know that was something like that. I mean, it
4:28
Speaker 1: would make a lot of sense to hop on board
4:30
Speaker 1: right now and and and that's where you know, Tyler,
4:33
Speaker 1: I'm sure that if they get on board and paying
4:35
Speaker 1: full for for the winner, maybe cut a deal for
4:37
Speaker 1: something here in the fall.
4:38
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, exactly, No, that's exactly right, because you know,
4:41
Speaker 2: in one of the newest one of the newest sponsors, uh,
4:44
Speaker 2: they agreed to to two different things, and I gave
4:48
Speaker 2: them a deal because they're doing two at the same time.
4:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I.
4:51
Speaker 2: Said, well, let's cut this off a little bit. Let's
4:53
Speaker 2: kind of let's shave this much off a month or
4:55
Speaker 2: per week and and let's go from there. And they
4:57
Speaker 2: and they were like, that's great, thank you, you know.
4:59
Speaker 2: And so yeah, there's always there's always these you know,
5:02
Speaker 2: different things that can happen, and we could just talk
5:04
Speaker 2: about it, and I'm always going to be fair. I mean,
5:07
Speaker 2: I've even had some recent sponsors saying you need to
5:09
Speaker 2: ask for more, which was refreshing to hear, but you're like, right,
5:17
Speaker 2: but you know, but that's but that's cool because I
5:19
Speaker 2: don't I want to start at a certain spot, so
5:22
Speaker 2: I can you know, retain a lot of these these
5:24
Speaker 2: these companies and then you know, yeah, eventually things go
5:27
Speaker 2: up and you know, things get more views and I'll
5:30
Speaker 2: ask for more and you know, the cost of living
5:32
Speaker 2: goes up all that stuff. So that's just kind of
5:34
Speaker 2: the way it works. And and as long as we
5:37
Speaker 2: can keep it going, then everything will just keep getting better.
5:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, more than anything, that's what it's about. It's about
5:42
Speaker 1: keeping everything going. And look, I mean Tyler, you you know,
5:46
Speaker 1: you're you're working hard, you're having fun and uh you
5:50
Speaker 1: know you're not over here getting rich off of this,
5:52
Speaker 1: but having a good time and yeah, doing a good
5:55
Speaker 1: thing for the community. I think at the end of
5:57
Speaker 1: the day, it's it's a good uh scratch each other's back, right,
6:01
Speaker 1: Like you're getting to have fun doing what you're doing,
6:04
Speaker 1: and the community is getting something that's great out of it.
6:06
Speaker 1: So yeah, so yeah, I reach out to Tyler, He'll
6:09
Speaker 1: he'll take care of you. Yeah.
6:11
Speaker 2: I'm definitely not looking to get rich off this at all.
6:13
Speaker 2: I don't ever if you worry You're an idiot, right right,
6:17
Speaker 2: And and I want to continue to enjoy when I
6:21
Speaker 2: wake up in the morning going straight to the office
6:24
Speaker 2: and start writing stories about the games from the night before.
6:27
Speaker 2: That's I just I love to be able to do that.
6:29
Speaker 2: I love that I can just go right in and
6:31
Speaker 2: start doing that instead of you know, waking up, getting
6:35
Speaker 2: in my car and going to someplace where you clock
6:38
Speaker 2: in and get told what to do. I mean, I'm
6:40
Speaker 2: living my dream. Make chocolate, yeah right, and go make chocolate. Well,
6:44
Speaker 2: in my case, go ship chocolate.
6:46
Speaker 1: So yeah, but even worse, you don't even get a
6:48
Speaker 1: taste it.
6:49
Speaker 2: No, that's exactly right.
6:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, get ahold of Tylers. He'll take care
6:54
Speaker 1: of you, Tyler. We've got what we got what th three, four, five, six,
6:58
Speaker 1: six games to talk about this week?
6:59
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, this is the week that I looked at,
7:02
Speaker 2: you know, in the like July, and I was like,
7:05
Speaker 2: this is gonna be my favorite week. Four of the
7:08
Speaker 2: six games are walking county teams against each other. Oh
7:11
Speaker 2: my goodness, this is like, this is almost as good
7:14
Speaker 2: as it can get. So I'm jacked about this week
7:18
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be so much fun. But also when
7:20
Speaker 2: you look at it, these are six games where I
7:24
Speaker 2: could see it going either way, seriously, and we'll see
7:27
Speaker 2: it in our pick'ems that there are some picks going
7:30
Speaker 2: all over the place. So we'll we'll have to check
7:32
Speaker 2: that out.
7:32
Speaker 1: Here's the wild thing, Tyler, think about this week. Next year, Yeah,
7:38
Speaker 1: all six games will be in the county too. That's true.
7:44
Speaker 2: That's that's maybe I'll maybe I'll have more more helpers
7:48
Speaker 2: by that time and different people. And you know, I
7:51
Speaker 2: I just picked up another another guy that's gonna go
7:54
Speaker 2: take pictures for me this upcoming Friday, So really working
7:57
Speaker 2: on working on getting him a badge and and and
8:00
Speaker 2: he won't have his credentials by this Friday, but I've
8:03
Speaker 2: already talked to the athletic director and these his names
8:06
Speaker 2: on the list, so he'll be able to get in.
8:08
Speaker 2: And I told him, hey, just go to the game,
8:10
Speaker 2: say your name, say you're with Walking Preps, and you'll
8:12
Speaker 2: get in. And he wrote, that's why you're the goat, Tyler.
8:15
Speaker 1: That's awesome. So yeah, it is fun.
8:17
Speaker 2: So really again, and that's another thing. If anybody wants
8:20
Speaker 2: to like take pictures for Walking Preps, oh my goodness,
8:24
Speaker 2: that'd be huge.
8:25
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:25
Speaker 2: I mean we never we never talked about that on
8:26
Speaker 2: the podcast. Yeah, but if you want, if you if
8:29
Speaker 2: you have a good camera and you want to take pictures,
8:31
Speaker 2: I can get that set up. Get get you all
8:34
Speaker 2: credentialed up so you can go into games and and
8:38
Speaker 2: and Because I would love to go to all of
8:40
Speaker 2: them and get pictures, I just can't. I just can't
8:41
Speaker 2: do that. But I would also really love to go
8:43
Speaker 2: to a game and stay there for the whole game.
8:45
Speaker 2: That's another thing. I don't really ever get to do
8:47
Speaker 2: that because I'm trying to get picture, a good picture
8:51
Speaker 2: at each you know, at each place I go to
8:53
Speaker 2: for each story. So anyways, that's just another thing.
8:56
Speaker 1: That's just Tyler giving his Uh. I guess it's like
8:59
Speaker 1: a rant.
9:01
Speaker 2: But I'm up on my soapbox.
9:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're still box.
9:04
Speaker 2: You're still not even six feet tall on that.
9:06
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it'd have to be a heck of
9:08
Speaker 1: a soapbox for you to be six feet tall. Tyler.
9:11
Speaker 1: Let's talk about these games though, five of them on
9:14
Speaker 1: Friday night. Uh in alone Saturday game first one on Friday,
9:18
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about We'll go outside the county
9:20
Speaker 1: for the first two Ferndale two and three headed down
9:22
Speaker 1: to Stallhomish to Veterans Memorial Stadium. It's at stoll Homage
9:26
Speaker 1: High School. If you're headed down to the game, that
9:28
Speaker 1: game is against St Homash oh to five on the
9:32
Speaker 1: year are the Panthers seven pm game? Tyler. It's weird
9:35
Speaker 1: because still Homish not very far away from Watkam County.
9:38
Speaker 1: But I feel like we've maybe mentioned their name only
9:42
Speaker 1: a couple of times over the last few years, and
9:45
Speaker 1: it might have even been in like volleyball or something,
9:48
Speaker 1: not even in football.
9:50
Speaker 2: Right, I think, yeah, it's been it's been a little
9:53
Speaker 2: bit like that, now, did they they've been three A
9:55
Speaker 2: for a while, right, They didn't come down from four
9:57
Speaker 2: A just recently.
10:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been three A for a little bit. They
10:01
Speaker 1: were four A for the longest time. Sure, Okay, yeah,
10:04
Speaker 1: they've been three A for a little bit. I think
10:06
Speaker 1: they've been three maybe even almost ever since Glacier Pete
10:09
Speaker 1: came around.
10:10
Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, so that makes sense because I think
10:12
Speaker 2: they did play Ferndale like postseason volleyball, and and so
10:16
Speaker 2: that kind of makes sense. I know that they came
10:18
Speaker 2: up and played Squalicum on a Saturday once.
10:22
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what it was too. In the springtime,
10:26
Speaker 1: there was a big tennis match against the Homish.
10:29
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, look at it.
10:32
Speaker 1: Look at my brain. Even though it doesn't function properly
10:34
Speaker 1: all the time, it works every now and then.
10:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, girls girls tennis. Lyndon went to smash that. That
10:40
Speaker 2: was a big, big match. And but yeah, I remember
10:43
Speaker 2: that Saturday game up at Civic. I think you even
10:46
Speaker 2: may have came up to that. Yeah, I remember what
10:49
Speaker 2: I did. Julie Martin played this one.
10:51
Speaker 1: I was in that game. I was at that one. Yeah,
10:54
Speaker 1: I didn't play in it. I was at that one.
10:56
Speaker 1: I remember that because you know what, I saw it
10:58
Speaker 1: pop up on my Facebook memories not too long ago.
11:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I remember that one. I remember that was
11:02
Speaker 2: kind of cool because.
11:03
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, But didn't Christopher Ames's son play
11:06
Speaker 1: in that game?
11:07
Speaker 2: He did? And that was what was cool about is
11:09
Speaker 2: because coach Bob Ames was able to go because right
11:13
Speaker 2: because they played the night before, and so he was
11:16
Speaker 2: able to go to a Saturday game and watch his
11:18
Speaker 2: grandson and so yeah, but Ferndale hasn't played him since
11:23
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine. Wow, so it's been a little while. Yeah, Yeah,
11:28
Speaker 2: So yeah, the last time that you know, Man walked
11:32
Speaker 2: on the Moon and Ferndale played Snohomash, that's the that
11:35
Speaker 2: was kind of the same timeframe there, So that was
11:38
Speaker 2: a twenty did nothing to win by Snohomish, you know,
11:40
Speaker 2: of course throughout the records, but but this will be
11:43
Speaker 2: you know, snow how much new to the west? Go
11:45
Speaker 2: three A North and and Ferndale's just yeah, there they
11:50
Speaker 2: are two and three and they're they are struggling a
11:52
Speaker 2: little bit, but all their losses have been by a
11:56
Speaker 2: school by you know, a touchdown or less. There's been
11:59
Speaker 2: some big time heartbreakers. They're one of their wins was
12:03
Speaker 2: an overtime win, and there's only been one kind of blowout.
12:06
Speaker 2: That was their blowout win against Getchel. There's a little
12:10
Speaker 2: bit of struggle with with Ferndale, and it's really hard
12:13
Speaker 2: to put my finger on it. I was on the
12:14
Speaker 2: Zone earlier today talking about you know, they were asking
12:18
Speaker 2: me about, you know, Ferndale two and three, what do
12:21
Speaker 2: you see that's different than the than in years past,
12:24
Speaker 2: And I just kind of said, you know, I don't know.
12:27
Speaker 2: I think maybe maybe the offensive line isn't as isn't
12:33
Speaker 2: as just dominating as it's been in years past. I mean,
12:36
Speaker 2: they're always known for running the ball for like three
12:38
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards a game, stuff like that, and
12:40
Speaker 2: it just hasn't you know, it just hasn't been there
12:44
Speaker 2: this year. Albeit bung Guard has you know, got over
12:46
Speaker 2: eight hundred yards rushing so far this year. But I
12:49
Speaker 2: think working as a unit, it's just been tough. They're
12:51
Speaker 2: pretty young upfront, and the secondary has had a few,
12:55
Speaker 2: you know, just small little breakdowns every once in a while.
12:59
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, you know how it is.
13:01
Speaker 2: We you know, you and I talked off the air
13:04
Speaker 2: about that that that crazy game against Arlington that you
13:07
Speaker 2: guys had where there was some things in the secondary
13:10
Speaker 2: that you know that happened, and it's like, right, it's
13:16
Speaker 2: like all of a sudden, like just one or two
13:17
Speaker 2: plays in the secondary can really change the game. And
13:22
Speaker 2: so and that's what's been happening with Ferndale a little bit.
13:25
Speaker 2: And it's you know, it's not constant. They're good players,
13:27
Speaker 2: but then there'll be one little breakdown, two little breakdowns,
13:30
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, there's two long touchdowns. So
13:34
Speaker 2: but man, they're just I don't see them losing this game.
13:39
Speaker 2: But we've been saying that, you know, and uh and
13:43
Speaker 2: you know go on the road, and and Son ho
13:45
Speaker 2: much has struggled this year, and and playing different teams
13:48
Speaker 2: in a different conference than that then they're used to.
13:50
Speaker 2: But I just I can't see I can't see Ferndale
13:54
Speaker 2: dropping this one. And I don't know if Zach Neilson
13:56
Speaker 2: will be back and ready to play. I'm not quite
13:59
Speaker 2: sure about that. But you know, I think they're gonna
14:02
Speaker 2: They just have a lot of probably anger built up
14:06
Speaker 2: in them right now, and this is a this is
14:08
Speaker 2: probably just the right opponent for them to play right now.
14:12
Speaker 1: I believe you said the last time they played it
14:14
Speaker 1: was nineteen sixty nine. Yeah, I believe the head coach
14:16
Speaker 1: of Stahomish at the time would have been Dick Armstrong,
14:20
Speaker 1: who is legendary coach. He had probably close to three
14:24
Speaker 1: hundred total wins and let him do a couple of
14:28
Speaker 1: state championships. He's in the Hall of Fame. I mean,
14:31
Speaker 1: just yeah. It's actually when Snowhomish and Glacier Peak play
14:37
Speaker 1: each other every year, it's called the Dick Armstrong Cup.
14:40
Speaker 2: Oh's cool.
14:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's tremendous, tremendous coach, But Uh yeah, that's Ferndale
14:45
Speaker 1: two and three headed down to Snowhomish to take on
14:47
Speaker 1: the Panthers zero to five, seven pm Veterans Memorial Stadium
14:51
Speaker 1: at Snowhomish High School. If you're headed down and you
14:53
Speaker 1: want something to eat before one, there's all kinds of
14:55
Speaker 1: great places right there on the main drag in Snowhomish.
14:59
Speaker 1: I love the pill Chuck Drive in Classic Mom and
15:02
Speaker 1: Pop one of my favorite places. Go get a cherry shake. Oh,
15:06
Speaker 1: it's a good one. I'm offense. Tyler Bellingham one and
15:10
Speaker 1: four headed down to take on Burlington Edison two and
15:13
Speaker 1: three seven pm. Roland Kirkby Field right there along I
15:17
Speaker 1: five another one. If you're headed down, trade wreck bar
15:20
Speaker 1: and grill. Love it, but yeah, Tyler. Burlington Edison a
15:24
Speaker 1: team that's had some success over the years, but kind
15:27
Speaker 1: of struggled the last two years. Bellingham, you know, started
15:31
Speaker 1: the season I'll say it rough, rough start, but they've
15:35
Speaker 1: kind of got hot here this last week and maybe
15:38
Speaker 1: they found something that worked there at quarterback. Yeah.
15:40
Speaker 2: I think they're definitely trending up right now. There's they've
15:43
Speaker 2: made some changes and also at the same time, a
15:46
Speaker 2: lot some of their players that have been out, are
15:48
Speaker 2: starting to come back, so it's really really all starting
15:53
Speaker 2: to kind of come together and you know, this could
15:56
Speaker 2: be a chance where they could pick up the first
15:58
Speaker 2: conference victory and five years so this is this is
16:03
Speaker 2: a good again. We kind of talked about like Ferndale,
16:06
Speaker 2: like this is kind of the matchup for them to
16:08
Speaker 2: have right now. It's no Homish and Burlington's not gonna
16:11
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be any push over for sure. I mean,
16:13
Speaker 2: they gave Sea home a heck of a game and
16:16
Speaker 2: that's just kind of the way it is at Burlington.
16:19
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, we've we've talked about that. You know,
16:21
Speaker 2: you were at the game when Linden was there. Linden
16:23
Speaker 2: was loaded that year and should have probably We're probably
16:26
Speaker 2: favored by two or three touchdowns against Burlington, but it
16:29
Speaker 2: came down to a game winning field goal. There's something
16:32
Speaker 2: about that stadium sometimes when they when they play at home,
16:34
Speaker 2: it's really tough to beat them, or at least, you know,
16:38
Speaker 2: you know, to get them good. I mean, they're always
16:40
Speaker 2: going to make it a game. You know, there are
16:42
Speaker 2: some good players on the on the Tigers. I've watched
16:45
Speaker 2: them now again, see hom I've watched them against squally
16:47
Speaker 2: them uh just on film, that is, and they're running
16:50
Speaker 2: backs pretty darn good and and uh there are there
16:55
Speaker 2: are some weapons there. But Ferndale, like you said, you know,
16:58
Speaker 2: they were struggling with the past game before I'm sorry Bellingham, Uh,
17:02
Speaker 2: they were struggling with the passing game with Joe Harward
17:05
Speaker 2: at quarterback, and there's a lot of things kind of
17:07
Speaker 2: combined with that, you know, brand new to the position,
17:10
Speaker 2: and and he and the guys that were missing a
17:13
Speaker 2: lot of them were receiver guys. And so you know,
17:16
Speaker 2: Black Henderson's out, you know, uh, Nate loss is out.
17:20
Speaker 2: I mean it's all of a sudden, who were you
17:23
Speaker 2: thrown to? Well, you're throwing to Milo Wright, who's really
17:26
Speaker 2: come on to be a pretty good possession receiver and
17:29
Speaker 2: has you know, good quickness and gave Ben Hofwagen as
17:33
Speaker 2: a tight end. And the other receiver was Ben Leonard
17:37
Speaker 2: at the time, and so you just you know, Owen
17:40
Speaker 2: Hanstead was catching a lot of a lot of passes too.
17:43
Speaker 2: But it's just like it just it wasn't. It wasn't
17:47
Speaker 2: the way it was last year obviously with all those guys.
17:49
Speaker 2: Then you move, then you switch Leonard and and Harward.
17:52
Speaker 2: And now you've got a guy who's played quarterback a
17:54
Speaker 2: long time and you put a six or four kid
17:56
Speaker 2: on the outside and it just clicks. Now, if you
18:00
Speaker 2: get Black Henderson back, who's about six to three himself
18:03
Speaker 2: and just jacked, you get him on either I mean,
18:06
Speaker 2: you get Henderson and Hardward on each side. My goodness,
18:10
Speaker 2: that's a matchup problem. Now it's starting to resemble a
18:13
Speaker 2: little bit of last year's team. So and it's all
18:17
Speaker 2: kind of just happening at the right time. And Tyler
18:21
Speaker 2: Frost went off for over one hundred and twenty yards
18:23
Speaker 2: rushing and he hasn't done that in a long time.
18:26
Speaker 2: And so I mean for him to get over twenty
18:28
Speaker 2: carries in a game, that really told me a lot.
18:31
Speaker 2: You know, it's the like the trend right now is
18:34
Speaker 2: going up. But now you're back into conference play. And
18:38
Speaker 2: like I said, playing at Burlington can be tough. This
18:40
Speaker 2: is gonna be. There were so many games that were
18:43
Speaker 2: so tough to pick this week this this this was
18:45
Speaker 2: one of them. I think this is going to come
18:46
Speaker 2: right down.
18:47
Speaker 1: To the end. Bellingham won and four, Burlington Edison two
18:50
Speaker 1: and three seven pm. Roland Kirkby Field in Burlington Civic
18:54
Speaker 1: Stadium seven pm on Friday night. Lyndon four and one,
18:58
Speaker 1: coming off in unbelievable back win against Sea Home, they
19:02
Speaker 1: will travel into Bellingham to take on the Squalicum Storm
19:05
Speaker 1: at They are three and two on the season.
19:06
Speaker 2: Tyler, this is another one where I could really see
19:11
Speaker 2: it going either way. I mean, Lindon's defense has had
19:14
Speaker 2: some issues recently, and they're very young, and at some
19:18
Speaker 2: point you can't say they're really young anymore. I mean
19:21
Speaker 2: we're this will be six games in and they've allowed
19:25
Speaker 2: a good amount of points the last few weeks. It's
19:29
Speaker 2: just been a little different than usual on Squalalkum has
19:33
Speaker 2: some athletes and they can put up some points. I
19:35
Speaker 2: mean Cole Burke Is he's thrown for over ten touchdowns
19:39
Speaker 2: already this year. I mean, like I said, I think
19:40
Speaker 2: he's averaging over two touchdown passes a game. And he's
19:44
Speaker 2: found a really he's found his target with Anton and
19:47
Speaker 2: Alasby Ornson, they've really had a good connection. You gotta
19:51
Speaker 2: you always got to keep an eye on Ortiz. Locky
19:55
Speaker 2: Fongatua Is he can catch anything and he's a big,
19:58
Speaker 2: big target out there. And oh by, by the way,
20:00
Speaker 2: there's Marcus Nixon you got to deal with. So there's
20:02
Speaker 2: a lot of different things that they have at their
20:07
Speaker 2: at their uh what's the word I'm looking for here,
20:09
Speaker 2: at their yes, at their disposal, uh, and so, but
20:15
Speaker 2: Linden will prepare well for that. But any of those
20:19
Speaker 2: guys can can break a play, so you just got
20:22
Speaker 2: to be you just got to be prepared for that. Again,
20:24
Speaker 2: Linden's always kind of that bend but don't break. But
20:27
Speaker 2: there's been some breaking lately on that defense. But again
20:30
Speaker 2: it's Linden. It's just so hard to to, you know,
20:33
Speaker 2: to bet against them. They just have this way about
20:36
Speaker 2: them and uh they' there's had some really close games
20:39
Speaker 2: with Squalicum at Civic Stadium recently. I remember that one
20:43
Speaker 2: game a few years ago. I mean I say, I
20:45
Speaker 2: say a few years ago. It might even even been
20:47
Speaker 2: the COVID year. I don't know, but it was like
20:48
Speaker 2: nine to six or some crazy thing like that. Like
20:51
Speaker 2: they've had some they've had some really really good games.
20:55
Speaker 2: Two extremely well coached teams. I think even when we
20:59
Speaker 2: did our ore U our draft that one year.
21:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, those were our two coaching staffs that we
21:06
Speaker 1: had right when we drafted coaching staffs even so, so.
21:11
Speaker 2: That's really really cool. It's it's you know, last year's
21:15
Speaker 2: game was just kind of a you know, it just
21:19
Speaker 2: I don't know, I remember Nevilla egging got hurt early
21:22
Speaker 2: and it just kind of just got messy after that.
21:24
Speaker 2: And I think it was like a thirty five nothing
21:25
Speaker 2: game that Lindon won. And it was kind of a
21:28
Speaker 2: throwaway season for Squalicum last year just as far as
21:32
Speaker 2: just nothing really worked out. It's different this year and Squalkum,
21:36
Speaker 2: I believe, is much better than they were last year.
21:39
Speaker 2: And this is going to be a heck of a
21:40
Speaker 2: game where you know, I mean, see Home gave Lindon
21:44
Speaker 2: a fit last week and I look at Seahome and
21:47
Speaker 2: Squalkam being very very even so this could be another
21:50
Speaker 2: crazy game. And again, these games are are so hard
21:55
Speaker 2: to call. But that's that's what's gonna make it great.
21:58
Speaker 2: I mean, we've I've seen some bad teams early this season,
22:02
Speaker 2: and they're when when we're making picks. There's some games
22:05
Speaker 2: where it's like I'll bet my house on it, like
22:08
Speaker 2: this is just easy to bet. It's different now, this
22:11
Speaker 2: is these are really theose are gonna These are good games.
22:15
Speaker 2: And what's cool about that is you're gonna see you know,
22:17
Speaker 2: starters in there for all four quarters. You're gonna see
22:21
Speaker 2: you know, how does a team react when it's the
22:24
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and you're still in there and you know
22:26
Speaker 2: you have to you have to give all your effort
22:29
Speaker 2: towards you know, just how is your conditioning? You know
22:33
Speaker 2: all that stuff, because you lose it mentally as well
22:35
Speaker 2: when you get into the fourth quarter and you have
22:37
Speaker 2: to stay with it. And boy, watching some of those
22:40
Speaker 2: close games last week was a lot of fun. And
22:43
Speaker 2: it's just gonna get even better this week.
22:45
Speaker 1: Well, and you know as well as I do that.
22:47
Speaker 1: Lucy watched the film and said, well, okay, kre what
22:50
Speaker 1: did Sea Home do? And how do we make that
22:53
Speaker 1: happen with us? How don't we put lit it in those
22:55
Speaker 1: same binds? And yeah, yeah, I mean that's what good
22:59
Speaker 1: coaching does, right. But ye, Linden four and one Squalcome
23:02
Speaker 1: three and two seven pm, Civic Stadium Blame. They are
23:05
Speaker 1: headed out to sid Lambert Field to take on the
23:07
Speaker 1: Knuksack Value Pioneers, both teams four and one on the season.
23:11
Speaker 2: Tyler, Yeah, this is gonna be another great game. Only
23:15
Speaker 2: the second home game of the year for Knooksack so far.
23:19
Speaker 2: It's this is one where in recent years they've been blowouts,
23:24
Speaker 2: but this is going to be different. Yes, Blaine dropped
23:28
Speaker 2: that opener to Lyndon Christian, but you know, we talked
23:32
Speaker 2: about it. They had, you know, more rushing yards, they
23:34
Speaker 2: had more passing yards, and it's not like they had
23:36
Speaker 2: ten more. I mean, they'd had a lot more in
23:38
Speaker 2: both of those and they will be able to move
23:41
Speaker 2: the ball. It's about getting into the end zone and
23:45
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the big, big thing. It was tough
23:47
Speaker 2: for them last week. They moved the ball up and
23:49
Speaker 2: down the field, but then things would happen third down,
23:53
Speaker 2: make it a tough fourth down. They turned the ball
23:55
Speaker 2: over on downs. There was a couple of interceptions that
23:57
Speaker 2: were thrown. They really need to finish drives. Actually against
24:00
Speaker 2: a team like the Pioneers Nook Sac Valley. They've been
24:04
Speaker 2: tested the last couple of weeks. You know, it was
24:06
Speaker 2: a tough one against tom Water obviously, and then they
24:08
Speaker 2: got you know, there was a fight against Mount Baker
24:10
Speaker 2: and they they pulled away at the end. So they're
24:14
Speaker 2: battle tested. They're back at home. Like I said, they've believe,
24:17
Speaker 2: they've only been at home once all all year. So
24:20
Speaker 2: this will be the second game, I believe. The first
24:21
Speaker 2: one was against Kings, and this will be this will
24:26
Speaker 2: be a great, great matchup and uh, boy, I I
24:33
Speaker 2: I don't know it's gonna be. This will be the
24:34
Speaker 2: battle of some couple of big lines. And there's a
24:38
Speaker 2: there's a just such a history here with with all
24:41
Speaker 2: these with with these two teams been playing each other
24:44
Speaker 2: since my goodness, the thirties or something like that. It's
24:47
Speaker 2: a you know, it's a couple of teams right there
24:50
Speaker 2: on the border, and you know you just just head down,
24:54
Speaker 2: just just head across the border all the way, you know,
24:56
Speaker 2: east to this game, and it's gonna be a it's gonna
24:59
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a fun one. I think I'm gonna
25:01
Speaker 2: try to be out there for the second half of
25:03
Speaker 2: this game. Really, I figured you'd go the other way around. Yeah,
25:08
Speaker 2: I think you go first half here, second half of Meridian. No,
25:12
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be. I think I'm gonna start
25:14
Speaker 2: out at Meridian, maybe get a good burger and uh,
25:19
Speaker 2: and then halftime I'll buzz out to sid Lambert. Wow,
25:23
Speaker 2: And yeah, that's That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
25:27
Speaker 1: Boy.
25:27
Speaker 2: I really want to go to that Linnen squalking game too,
25:29
Speaker 2: But I think that I think coach would will be
25:32
Speaker 2: at that game, so he'll he'll be able to to
25:35
Speaker 2: take care of that one. And but yeah, this is
25:38
Speaker 2: gonna be It's gonna be a great, great test for
25:41
Speaker 2: the border rights and and uh, you know they were
25:44
Speaker 2: tested last week, like I said, But uh, it's gonna be, boy,
25:49
Speaker 2: a lot of hard hitting and a lot of running
25:51
Speaker 2: the ball, and it's gonna be fun to watch.
25:54
Speaker 1: That is Blaine four and one, Nooksack Valley for and
25:56
Speaker 1: one out at sid Lambert Field Knoksack Valley seven pm Friday,
26:01
Speaker 1: Mount Baker for and one Meridian for and one. Lots
26:04
Speaker 1: of foreign ones they're in that conference Tyler. Uh that
26:07
Speaker 1: is at Meridian seven pm.
26:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is boy. You know, I talk about it
26:14
Speaker 2: every year when these when these two teams play, the
26:16
Speaker 2: first thing that pops in my mind is when I played,
26:19
Speaker 2: this was the rivalry, this was the game. Uh, Meridan
26:22
Speaker 2: just had our number, you know, when they had everyone's
26:25
Speaker 2: number back then. But I just I love the history
26:31
Speaker 2: here as well. I close my eyes and I can
26:34
Speaker 2: just visualize so many old games of these two teams,
26:38
Speaker 2: you know, going back into the eighties and seeing the
26:42
Speaker 2: the Terry Tolans and the you know, the Jeff Curtis's
26:47
Speaker 2: and I mean all these legends that played in the
26:49
Speaker 2: eighties against each other, and then you go into the
26:51
Speaker 2: nineties and the two thousands. I mean, they've spent some
26:54
Speaker 2: unbelievable matchups here, and even when one team is way up,
27:00
Speaker 2: the other team always seems to kind of give them
27:02
Speaker 2: fits a little bit, you know what I mean, Like
27:04
Speaker 2: it's one of those I hate the cliche throw the
27:06
Speaker 2: records out, blah blah blah, bah blah, but this is
27:09
Speaker 2: kind of has that, and it always has. I mean,
27:12
Speaker 2: I think there was the year. It might have been
27:14
Speaker 2: the year where like Jedge Slammer ran for five hundred
27:17
Speaker 2: and twenty one yards in a single game, and then
27:19
Speaker 2: the next week they played at Meridian and Meridian held
27:22
Speaker 2: them to like, you know, fifteen yards or something like
27:25
Speaker 2: on nine carries. It was like, boy, like they really,
27:30
Speaker 2: you know, figure something out against him or something like that.
27:32
Speaker 2: I remember one year Baker I think won won the league,
27:36
Speaker 2: but Maradian got him ten to nine or something. You know,
27:39
Speaker 2: it was kind of like, where did that come from?
27:41
Speaker 2: There always seems to be some weird stuff that goes
27:43
Speaker 2: on in this game. And in last year's game, I mean,
27:49
Speaker 2: you know, neither of them made the playoffs, but that
27:51
Speaker 2: that was a game that came down right to the end,
27:53
Speaker 2: you know, it was you know, I want to say
27:55
Speaker 2: it was like thirty to twenty seven or something like
27:57
Speaker 2: that was a great great Gameridian's got a lot more
28:02
Speaker 2: experience just as far as guys that have been doing
28:04
Speaker 2: it for a long time. At the varsity level, Baker,
28:08
Speaker 2: Baker is more athletic than you think. You know, it
28:12
Speaker 2: used to be, Oh, you line up against Baker and
28:14
Speaker 2: they're going to hit you in the mouth and they're
28:15
Speaker 2: gonna out tough you. And that's how they're gonna win.
28:17
Speaker 2: They're they're they're conditioning is is renowned. I mean everyone
28:21
Speaker 2: knows that they're gonna you know, they're gonna play all
28:24
Speaker 2: four quarters and they're not gonna tire. And that's just
28:27
Speaker 2: that's a staple of Mount Baker football. And and but
28:32
Speaker 2: you know, you you would always kind of say, well,
28:34
Speaker 2: you know, but you can feed him on the outside. Well,
28:36
Speaker 2: Baker's got some athletes out there now, so it's a
28:39
Speaker 2: little different. And you know, I think Meridian has more
28:43
Speaker 2: size than Baker does, which is a little different than usual.
28:47
Speaker 2: So it's kind of some weird things that are not
28:50
Speaker 2: the norm. But boy, when they get out on the
28:52
Speaker 2: field and play, it's it's again. This is going to
28:55
Speaker 2: be a really really close one. Hated picking this game
29:00
Speaker 2: and maybe the reason that I picked the way it
29:02
Speaker 2: was is the reason why I'm gonna be there in
29:03
Speaker 2: the first half and not the second half because.
29:05
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
29:06
Speaker 2: I don't want to get yelled at. At the end
29:08
Speaker 2: of the game.
29:09
Speaker 1: We'll find out Mount Baker four and one Meridian four
29:13
Speaker 1: and one, seven pm at Meridian on Friday night. That
29:16
Speaker 1: is the five Friday Games Silo. Let's talk about the
29:18
Speaker 1: Loan Saturday game. It's a one pm kickoff at Civic
29:21
Speaker 1: Stadium between Lynn and Christian three and two See Home
29:25
Speaker 1: three and two. Yeah, I mean this is one where
29:28
Speaker 1: two teams that had pretty big games last week in
29:31
Speaker 1: terms of high energy and you know, rock them, sock
29:35
Speaker 1: them bit, and now they got to get here and
29:36
Speaker 1: play each other.
29:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of teams that can throw the
29:39
Speaker 2: ball around quite a bit and depending on the weather,
29:44
Speaker 2: and we'll hear from Randy Small soon. But if it's
29:46
Speaker 2: going to be a nice day, you know, afternoon game
29:49
Speaker 2: on the on the fast turf, you might see a
29:52
Speaker 2: lot of airing the ball out. Two quarterbacks that are
29:56
Speaker 2: on target right now. They're they're just slinging the ball really,
29:59
Speaker 2: really well. But also a couple a couple of teams
30:03
Speaker 2: that have I don't know if I want to say
30:06
Speaker 2: struggle to find the run game, but they're but they're
30:08
Speaker 2: but they're both really coming along right now. So it's
30:12
Speaker 2: it's becoming more even as far as you know, the
30:15
Speaker 2: run pass discrepancy back and forth, and and it's a
30:20
Speaker 2: little bit more fifty to fifty. I mean, I think
30:22
Speaker 2: these are the two teams that probably throw the ball
30:26
Speaker 2: the most as far as percentage wise of their offensive plays.
30:30
Speaker 2: But they're both trying to establish the run and and
30:35
Speaker 2: they've been getting better at it as the years. But
30:37
Speaker 2: has has gone by coach Terpstra. You know, schedule this
30:42
Speaker 2: game used to be on Seahomes staff was for years
30:45
Speaker 2: calling offensive plays for them, so that's there's a little
30:49
Speaker 2: familiarity there, even though the whole staff at Steel was
30:52
Speaker 2: pretty much new now. Uh, But again another non conference
30:57
Speaker 2: game that Lennon Christian scheduled. That's tough, and you know
31:02
Speaker 2: that's he he loves doing that. And when you can,
31:05
Speaker 2: when you can get tough games in your non your
31:08
Speaker 2: non conference, it gets you set up for your conference play.
31:11
Speaker 2: It's got a lot of sophomores going, a lot of youngsters,
31:14
Speaker 2: and you know by this time you're in week six,
31:18
Speaker 2: they're not scared with the lights anymore. They're out there hitting.
31:21
Speaker 2: It's football. Once you cross those lines, you're playing the
31:23
Speaker 2: game you've always played. So, uh, I think that they'll
31:26
Speaker 2: be ready see home is boy.
31:28
Speaker 1: They are.
31:29
Speaker 2: They are tough. I mean their two losses were to
31:31
Speaker 2: get Ana Chordus and Linden and uh and they they
31:34
Speaker 2: had that, they had that Linden one. So I mean
31:36
Speaker 2: they are they're they're battle tested, They're they're dynamic.
31:41
Speaker 1: Uh.
31:41
Speaker 2: Andre Watson is knocking on the door of breaking some
31:44
Speaker 2: walking County records. I think if he once he catches
31:47
Speaker 2: his fifth that that you know, he's five catches away
31:50
Speaker 2: from breaking the Walkham County record, just as far as
31:53
Speaker 2: receptions goes four from tying it. So you know, look
31:58
Speaker 2: for that and may look look for him to be
32:00
Speaker 2: targeted pretty early there. But yeah, this will be a
32:05
Speaker 2: lot of fun with with some really good fun matchups
32:09
Speaker 2: on the outside. Just you know, I want to see
32:12
Speaker 2: I mean, I want to see Andre Watson cover Boyce Robertson,
32:15
Speaker 2: or even Colby Chambers cover Boyce Robertson, you know, and
32:19
Speaker 2: vice versa. I mean, this is gonna be This is
32:21
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of fun. And you know, a
32:26
Speaker 2: game where you know, both teams could score into the
32:28
Speaker 2: thirties and so it'd be a really exciting game. So,
32:31
Speaker 2: I mean, it's on a Saturday at one o'clock. I mean,
32:33
Speaker 2: if you don't get anything going on, this will be
32:35
Speaker 2: a fun one just to go buy some popcorn and
32:38
Speaker 2: just sit there and watch some good football.

Speaker 1: the guy before we tell everybody who's picking who.
39:17
Speaker 2: I just I just think that that guy's awesome. And
39:20
Speaker 2: I just think that it was so honored not to
39:23
Speaker 2: just be named a Golden Lion Award recipient, but to
39:28
Speaker 2: be it to be named with him the same year,
39:31
Speaker 2: Like we're always going to be linked with that. Yeah,
39:33
Speaker 2: that was such a That was such a cool deal.
39:36
Speaker 1: Boy.
39:36
Speaker 2: Every time I see him, it's just all positivity. And
39:40
Speaker 2: the guy's got fantastic timing. I tell you what. He'll
39:43
Speaker 2: he'll show up to like a basketball game with like
39:45
Speaker 2: four minutes left and then he'll take this, He'll take
39:48
Speaker 2: this great video that was like the game winning play
39:51
Speaker 2: and it's like, dude, you just how did you? He
39:55
Speaker 2: just he just has that way about him, you know.
39:57
Speaker 2: And it's so funny because I'll be watching a basketball
40:00
Speaker 2: game just in my in my office and then like
40:03
Speaker 2: he'll catch the basketball with one hand while he's holding
40:05
Speaker 2: the his camera on the other hand, and I'll message him.
40:08
Speaker 2: I'll say nice catch, and he go, he's like where

40:13
Speaker 2: uh yeah, he's just always available, busy guy, but always
40:16
Speaker 2: gives time to do stuff. And that's why I wanted
40:19
Speaker 2: to reach out to him to be the guest picker,
40:20
Speaker 2: because just to give him that much more exposure. And
40:24
Speaker 2: and then you put a you know, you put a
40:26
Speaker 2: face to the name on the on the graphic and
40:28
Speaker 2: then people are like, I know that guy. I see
40:30
Speaker 2: that guy all the time, and so, uh, really really
40:32
Speaker 2: cool deal.
40:34
Speaker 1: This week, everybody is picking Linden and Nuksack Valley. Only
40:38
Speaker 1: Jeff is picking the Homage to beat Ferndale, and he's
40:42
Speaker 1: picking Mount Baker to beat Meridian. Uh, Mikayla is picking
40:47
Speaker 1: Linden Christian over Sea Home, and Mikayla and myself are
40:51
Speaker 1: the only ones picking Bellingham over Burlington Edison. So uh yeah,
40:55
Speaker 1: be sure to check back next week. You know, the
40:58
Speaker 1: pick'em's that's something that somebody could sponsor. Absolutely.
41:01
Speaker 2: I mean that as soon as that graphic goes up,
41:05
Speaker 2: I don't you know, on on Instagram, I don't know
41:08
Speaker 2: what gets one hundred likes quicker that graphic or like
41:13
Speaker 2: a scoreboard graphic right after, you know, like the Friday
41:17
Speaker 2: Night scoreboard or but boy, that pick him graphic, it
41:20
Speaker 2: gets it gets a ton early. I tell you what.
41:24
Speaker 1: It's.
41:24
Speaker 2: It's Uh, people are sharing that thing, and it's it's
41:27
Speaker 2: all over the place. It's pretty cool.
41:30
Speaker 1: Let's talk fantasy, Tyler. And you got me last week.
41:34
Speaker 1: I I evened it up at two to two. As
41:36
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I was down, oh two, right
41:38
Speaker 1: then I won two straight. Now you got me last week.
41:41
Speaker 1: Uh so you are up three to two on the season,
41:44
Speaker 1: which means I have first pick, and I'm gonna go
41:46
Speaker 1: with maybe one of the more obvious ones on the year.
41:49
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Ferndale's offensive line this week, Tyler.
41:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, going up against Snowhomish on on the road.
41:55
Speaker 2: Snomish is looking for their first win of the year.
41:57
Speaker 2: Burndale's looking to pound the ball for some reason, and
42:00
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, bun Guard's gonna get his touches.
42:02
Speaker 2: But I think that they're gonna, you know, throw for
42:04
Speaker 2: a couple of touchdowns. It's gonna they're gonna put up
42:06
Speaker 2: put up some yardage and some points and that's what
42:08
Speaker 2: you need on that. So I am going to go
42:13
Speaker 2: And this is I mean, geez, this is so tough.
42:15
Speaker 2: Now when they start playing each other. Yeah, there's no like,
42:19
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no easy picks here. And it's gonna
42:23
Speaker 2: be even tough for next year, because I really like
42:24
Speaker 2: the idea of us not being able to pick the
42:27
Speaker 2: same person at the position for the whole year, like
42:30
Speaker 2: you have to jump around and pick different people. But
42:35
Speaker 2: after saying all that, I'm going with Colton munzit running back.
42:38
Speaker 2: He had a huge game last week, and you know,
42:41
Speaker 2: now with his senior year, his last time playing these
42:44
Speaker 2: these conference opponents, even though they're all really good opponents,
42:48
Speaker 2: I could see him going for two hundred in all
42:50
Speaker 2: these games. He's just he's he's on a mission right now.
42:53
Speaker 2: And and yeah, I mean he's scored so many I
42:57
Speaker 2: think he's boy. I don't want to get this, but
43:00
Speaker 2: I think he might be tied for third place in
43:03
Speaker 2: Walking County history and rushing touchdowns.
43:05
Speaker 1: Wow, with fifty seven.
43:07
Speaker 2: Now there's no I mean I say, there's no way.
43:10
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be really hard to catch the top
43:12
Speaker 2: two guys who are tied. I think they each have
43:14
Speaker 2: seventy nine. That's Mariyogabato and Jeed Schlimer. But he's twenty
43:18
Speaker 2: two away. So I'm gonna go with Colton Lentz. And
43:21
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna go wide receiver and I'm gonna take
43:27
Speaker 2: Casey Brennan from Meridian. I picked him in week one,
43:31
Speaker 2: and he's had these little spurts, these little moments here
43:34
Speaker 2: and there, and it's tough because they've been playing against
43:38
Speaker 2: teams that, you know, maybe they're not playing the whole half,
43:41
Speaker 2: or there's an accelerated clock at the end and different
43:43
Speaker 2: things like that, or not accelerated but continuous clock. And
43:47
Speaker 2: I think that this game is a game where he'll
43:49
Speaker 2: be playing all four quarters and they're gonna try to
43:54
Speaker 2: find ways to get him the ball. And so I'm
43:57
Speaker 2: expecting some sort of excitement out of Casey Brennan this week.
44:03
Speaker 1: Tyler is married. Who gobato? Is he going to be
44:05
Speaker 1: at that thing on Saturday?
44:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he is. He's getting inducted.
44:08
Speaker 1: So you got to get a video of yourself handing
44:10
Speaker 1: the ball off to him.
44:13
Speaker 2: You know, he carried the ball seven hundred and ninety
44:15
Speaker 2: times in his career, Holy crap, and without without take
44:18
Speaker 2: without a playoff game or playing his freshman year.
44:21
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. He didn't play his
44:22
Speaker 1: freshman year. I remember you telling me that before, and
44:24
Speaker 1: I remember just being like, wait, how does he happen to.
44:28
Speaker 2: He played a little bit like on special teams. That
44:30
Speaker 2: was it. He never had a carry, He never took
44:32
Speaker 2: a care. I think he got hurt. You can think
44:34
Speaker 2: he hurt his foot or something and then all of
44:36
Speaker 2: a sudden, Yeah, he had over three hundred and something
44:39
Speaker 2: carries his junior instener year each. So yeah, it's just
44:43
Speaker 2: those numbers are ridiculous. But yeah, that that'd be great,
44:46
Speaker 2: Just just a video of me just handing him, handing
44:49
Speaker 2: off the ball to him.
44:50
Speaker 1: Yes, alrighty, Tyler, I'm going to go. I'm going to
44:56
Speaker 1: pick my two defensive players right now, and I'm going
44:59
Speaker 1: to go with Trey Bosman an Xavier Parent front seven,
45:03
Speaker 1: back seven. Both guys there. I know they're both high
45:06
Speaker 1: in the county in terms of tackles, and I think
45:08
Speaker 1: they're both in a position this week where they could
45:11
Speaker 1: rack up quite a few more.
45:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those are good picks.
45:15
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously those guys get a ton of ton
45:17
Speaker 4: of tackles, and they've both they both have interceptions on
45:21
Speaker 4: the season so far, so they're very good in the
45:23
Speaker 4: past game, a couple of really good linebackers.
45:26
Speaker 2: They are definitely definitely good picks I'm gonna take as
45:31
Speaker 2: a team. Defense I'm gonna take Bellingham. I think with
45:35
Speaker 2: Bli Henderson coming back, that's just that, I don't know
45:40
Speaker 2: how to say it. His his athletic ability. He made
45:42
Speaker 2: some huge plays last week in a limited role, playing
45:46
Speaker 2: just defense only. I think he's gonna be more healthy
45:49
Speaker 2: now against Burlington and he's gonna make some big, big plays.
45:52
Speaker 2: That whole defense, the Tyler Frost gave, Van Hofwagen, Owen Hanstead,
45:56
Speaker 2: those guys, they're gonna make some big plays. So I'm
45:58
Speaker 2: gonna go Bellingham defense, and I'm going to take Malachi Canaan.
46:04
Speaker 2: A kicker for Lindon, I think I think I think
46:07
Speaker 2: he only has like maybe one field goals in his career.
46:10
Speaker 2: They've all been extra points. But now playing on the
46:12
Speaker 2: turf at Civic Stadium, that's where his dad kicked in college.
46:16
Speaker 2: I just think it's a kind of a cool deal there.
46:19
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna I think he's gonna do some
46:21
Speaker 2: he's good. Think he's gonna do some good things on
46:23
Speaker 2: the on the turf there at Civic Stadium.
46:27
Speaker 1: Alrighty. The only thing that we have not picked yet
46:29
Speaker 1: is quarterback.
46:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that?
46:32
Speaker 1: Yeah? It seems like that one is usually one of
46:34
Speaker 1: the first two or three off the board, right. Actually,
46:37
Speaker 1: it seems like kicker is usually the last one, right,
46:40
Speaker 1: which I guess not a whole lot better second to last.
46:42
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with the trending up right now,
46:45
Speaker 1: and the guy that I feel like has a little
46:47
Speaker 1: bit of a hot hand, I'm going to pick Ben
46:49
Speaker 1: Leonard at quarterback. Yeah, and then I'm going to go
46:52
Speaker 1: to the defensive side, and I'm going to take Ferndale's
46:57
Speaker 1: defense against the Homo. So I'm going to double up
46:58
Speaker 1: on the on the old team aspect here and go
47:01
Speaker 1: offensive line Ferndale and defense Forndal. Yeah.
47:04
Speaker 2: I mean that's I mean, you talk about guys like
47:07
Speaker 2: cool from the Valley, a guy that plays on that
47:08
Speaker 2: offensive line and is a big time run stuff r
47:10
Speaker 2: on defense. You know that's not a bad guy to
47:13
Speaker 2: double up with those guys. Wyatt White, Whyatts straight Chance Hatchet,
47:17
Speaker 2: those guys that are putting in the work up there,
47:20
Speaker 2: and it's good to get them noticed a little bit.
47:22
Speaker 2: And Ben Leonard, I mean, boy, especially if BLA. Henderson's
47:25
Speaker 2: back to play some receiver as well, He's got a
47:27
Speaker 2: lot of weapons to go to and he's he's got
47:30
Speaker 2: some moxie like he he he will, he will sling
47:34
Speaker 2: it out there and it's so fun to see because
47:36
Speaker 2: he's not the biggest kid, but he'll just drop back
47:38
Speaker 2: and just and just throw it forty yards down the
47:41
Speaker 2: field and say, go go get it, Joe, or go
47:44
Speaker 2: get it, you know, Milo or Gabe or Owen or whoever.
47:48
Speaker 2: And and uh, he's he's he's not afraid. And he
47:50
Speaker 2: puts up the numbers. As a matter of fact, in
47:54
Speaker 2: his first game against arch Archbishop, where he played just
47:57
Speaker 2: a half, yeah, he's it was like second or third
48:00
Speaker 2: all time for yards for pass attempt in the game
48:02
Speaker 2: in school history. It was more yards for pass attempt
48:05
Speaker 2: than any game that his brother Josh had. I mean,
48:09
Speaker 2: that's what I'm That's what I mean. Like he'll he'll
48:10
Speaker 2: throw it deep and he throws an accurate So that's
48:12
Speaker 2: pretty cool.
48:13
Speaker 1: You're throwing out stats right now. That sound like uh
48:16
Speaker 1: remember a Little Big League? Yeah, that movie and the
48:20
Speaker 1: one guy the announcer for I think he might have
48:23
Speaker 1: even been like the Twins announcer, like the real Twins announcer,
48:26
Speaker 1: and he's like he's like this guy here, he's batten
48:29
Speaker 1: three twenty five in games where they're played indoors north
48:33
Speaker 1: of the Mason Dixon line.
48:36
Speaker 2: Well, I just I'm really fresh with a lot of
48:38
Speaker 2: these stats right now because I just updated the record
48:41
Speaker 2: book today on the website.
48:42
Speaker 1: So I'm always I do that.
48:45
Speaker 2: I try to get that done on Wednesdays, and I
48:47
Speaker 2: had a little bit of time today do that. So
48:51
Speaker 2: so I'm going to take my defensive guys now and
48:54
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go front seven. I'm gonna go Lackey Fungatua.
48:58
Speaker 1: Boy.
48:58
Speaker 2: He's so active, so so active, and it's and he
49:04
Speaker 2: might be, you know, being on the edge. I kind
49:06
Speaker 2: of I'm kind of leery about this pick because I
49:09
Speaker 2: feel like Lyndon will kind of steer clear of him
49:12
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, because you can do that sometimes
49:14
Speaker 2: when you're going against a star player on the on
49:17
Speaker 2: the edge.
49:18
Speaker 1: But I just also if that guy's active, yeah, he's
49:22
Speaker 1: gonna get his right.
49:24
Speaker 2: And that's the thing I just think he's too. There's
49:29
Speaker 2: just there's not a game where he doesn't, you know,
49:32
Speaker 2: rack up numbers. He's just constantly out there doing one.
49:34
Speaker 1: Of those you can't stop him. You can only hope
49:37
Speaker 1: to contain him type things.
49:38
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely shout out to Dan Patrick. Uh and Uh.
49:44
Speaker 2: The best one was when well, that's another story I'll
49:48
Speaker 2: tell later. I'm gonna take in the back seven. I'm
49:51
Speaker 2: gonna go true defensive back. Here we we go linebacker
49:55
Speaker 2: a lot, and I'm gonna go with Bryce Cooper, the
49:59
Speaker 2: corner from out from Mount Baker. He's he's super athletic,
50:03
Speaker 2: and I think Meridian is going to sling the ball
50:05
Speaker 2: all over the place. And you know, I remember last
50:08
Speaker 2: year I would take Cooper more every once in a
50:10
Speaker 2: while because he was such a good tackler and even
50:13
Speaker 2: though he's playing corner against passing teams, I would take
50:16
Speaker 2: him a lot. And I kind of see Bryce Cooper
50:19
Speaker 2: getting a lot of opportunities to make plays with the
50:21
Speaker 2: ball in the air, you know, making plays in the
50:25
Speaker 2: run game. So yeah, I'm gonna go with Bryce Cooper,
50:28
Speaker 2: the junior corner from Mount Baker.
50:31
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the offensive side of the ball.
50:33
Speaker 1: I need a wide receiver and a running back. I'm
50:35
Speaker 1: gonna go with two guys that I think most people
50:37
Speaker 1: would say are probably like surefire picks, and that's Andre
50:41
Speaker 1: Watson at receiver, and I'm gonna take Jade and Piez
50:45
Speaker 1: at running back. You know, held off the board last
50:47
Speaker 1: week from the from the touchdowns, but I feel like
50:51
Speaker 1: he's got a got a got a nose again and
50:53
Speaker 1: he's gonna probably try to find his way in if
50:55
Speaker 1: he can. Yeah.
50:56
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he didn't. He didn't score a touchdown,
50:58
Speaker 2: but he almost had two hundred yard from scrimmage. Yeah,
51:01
Speaker 2: so he can definitely put up the numbers. Really really
51:04
Speaker 2: showed me something in the passing game last week. So uh,
51:07
Speaker 2: and that you know, Blaine hadn't been down like that
51:11
Speaker 2: all year though they hadn't had to resort to the pass,
51:13
Speaker 2: but I tell you what, when when they do, he's
51:14
Speaker 2: a guy that they look towards.
51:16
Speaker 1: Uh.
51:17
Speaker 2: And Andre Watson, I mean, you know what haven't we
51:20
Speaker 2: said about him over the last four years? Uh, you know,
51:22
Speaker 2: he's just he's just catches every single thing. I'm shocked
51:26
Speaker 2: that he's not constantly sick because he probably catches colds
51:30
Speaker 2: all the time. Hey, but he's just oh my goodness.
51:35
Speaker 2: And and you know what's crazy is his last two
51:37
Speaker 2: games are the are his most receiving yards in a game.
51:41
Speaker 2: His last two are his number one and two games.
51:44
Speaker 2: So I think, yeah, exactly like the way he's going
51:48
Speaker 2: right now like he is. He is on fire right now,
51:51
Speaker 2: and I think he smells some of these records and uh,
51:54
Speaker 2: and it's just it's just going to get better and better.
51:57
Speaker 2: So yeah, those are great picks. I have quarterback and
52:01
Speaker 2: offensive line left and then I'm it and that's it
52:04
Speaker 2: for me. Offensive line, Oh my goodness, there's some good
52:10
Speaker 2: ones out there. I just don't see a ton of
52:12
Speaker 2: point skiing being scored around the county. And but I'm
52:18
Speaker 2: gonna go with Nuxack Valley's offensive line. I think, being
52:21
Speaker 2: back at home, I think they're gonna want to control
52:26
Speaker 2: the clock as much as possible against blamed, keep their
52:29
Speaker 2: keep their offense off the field, and uh and then they'll,
52:34
Speaker 2: you know, every once in a while, though, they'll they'll
52:36
Speaker 2: throw one down the field to kind of keep them
52:38
Speaker 2: on us. You know, Cole Bauman down the seam, or
52:40
Speaker 2: Cole Koppinger down the seam, or Corey Oli or Evan Bravo.
52:44
Speaker 2: They got a lot of weapons they can throw the
52:46
Speaker 2: ball to. But I think they're really going to try
52:48
Speaker 2: to feed that rock to Colton Lentz and get that
52:50
Speaker 2: double whamming with Lentz and Knuckxack Valley's offensive line and
52:54
Speaker 2: then quarterback. You know, I I think I'm gonna go
52:58
Speaker 2: Nolan Wright. I know he's been baking depth. Boy, he's
53:01
Speaker 2: just been doing some great, great things. He's really they've
53:04
Speaker 2: really put him into the running game, the ceeon quarterback,
53:08
Speaker 2: and there's like, I don't think in the first couple
53:11
Speaker 2: of years there was that many designed runs for him.
53:14
Speaker 2: It would just kind of be one of those scramble
53:16
Speaker 2: and go every once in a while. But there are
53:18
Speaker 2: there are some designed runs right now, and he's taken
53:21
Speaker 2: advantage of it.
53:22
Speaker 1: Uh.
53:22
Speaker 2: And you know, he's scoring touchdowns. He's had a couple
53:25
Speaker 2: hundred plus yard games. I think he's had a rushing
53:28
Speaker 2: touchdown in three straight games. And then you know, he
53:31
Speaker 2: threw for almost three hundred and fifty yards last week.
53:34
Speaker 2: He had twenty nine completions that broke a school record
53:36
Speaker 2: for completions in a game, broke his own record from
53:40
Speaker 2: twenty eight from a year ago. So yeah, I'm gonna
53:43
Speaker 2: go with Nolan right at quarterback. Tyler's got some nuggets. Man.
53:48
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna finish it off by doing exactly what
53:50
Speaker 1: I said would probably happen tonight, which is I'm wanna
53:53
Speaker 1: pick Landon Downey. I'm gonna take him a kicker because
53:56
Speaker 1: that's the last pick that I need. Uh, So let's
53:58
Speaker 1: run through it really quickly. Tyler at quarterback, You've got
54:01
Speaker 1: Nolan Right, I've got Ben Leonard running back. You've got
54:04
Speaker 1: Colton Lentz. I've got Jayden Piaz Casey Brennan at receiver
54:08
Speaker 1: for you. I've got Andre Watson offensive lines, Knooksack Valley
54:11
Speaker 1: for Tyler, Ferndale for me, Bellingham's defense for Tyler, Ferndale's
54:16
Speaker 1: defense for me, front seven, Lucky Fungatu for you, Trey
54:21
Speaker 1: Bosman for me, Bryce Cooper in the back seven for you,
54:24
Speaker 1: Exavier Perrin back seven for me. And then the kickers. Tyler,
54:28
Speaker 1: you've got Malachi Canaan and I've got oh by the way,
54:30
Speaker 1: Marcus hopefully he kicks this week. And then Tyler, you've
54:34
Speaker 1: got Landing down. It would be funny if I picked
54:36
Speaker 1: one and you pick the other, oh.
54:38
Speaker 2: Man, that'd be great. I'm sure it'll happen at some point,
54:40
Speaker 2: especially if we have to do the one. We have
54:42
Speaker 2: to pick a different one every week, that would be
54:44
Speaker 2: really funny. That's probably gonna happen at some point.
54:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's it, Tyler. Anything else.
54:53
Speaker 2: I just this is gonna be really great because again,
54:56
Speaker 2: only six games, they're all going to be very competitive.
55:00
Speaker 2: The only one where I could see where a blowout
55:02
Speaker 2: is the most likely it would be the Ferndale sna
55:04
Speaker 2: Homish game. But boy, we've been surprised on some of
55:07
Speaker 2: these recent Ferndale games. It'll be a little less writing
55:12
Speaker 2: for me. And it's funny because sometimes when it's a blowout,
55:16
Speaker 2: it's an easy story to write because it's just, you know,
55:19
Speaker 2: there's not a lot to it. You just kind of
55:20
Speaker 2: say who scores the touchdowns and and that's it. But
55:23
Speaker 2: at the same time, when they're really close, the writing
55:27
Speaker 2: just flows because there's so much that went on and
55:30
Speaker 2: it goes into it all yeah, there's yeah, exactly there.
55:32
Speaker 2: There's a lot to tell, and all of a sudden
55:34
Speaker 2: I look at it and go, that's one of the
55:35
Speaker 2: longest stories I've written. I've written all year. But that
55:37
Speaker 2: didn't take me very long because it just flows. And
55:43
Speaker 2: so those are a lot of fun and and now
55:45
Speaker 2: with these teams playing each other, that's kind of what
55:47
Speaker 2: I'm looking at. Yes, I'll be out for a little
55:49
Speaker 2: bit on Saturday, out to blame for the Hall of
55:52
Speaker 2: Fame induction, So there will be a little lull in
55:54
Speaker 2: the stories being produced on Saturday, so please be aware
55:59
Speaker 2: of that. But but yeah, other than that, it's gonna
56:02
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great and sounds like what what Randy
56:05
Speaker 2: Small said. The weather will be perfect football weather, so
56:08
Speaker 2: it should be a lot of fun and good luck
