  Speaker 2: you really should put our faces in there just because
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know now the people don't want to see it,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So what am I kidding here?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Tyler, we've got Blaine, We've got Linden. What do
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you say we get right into it. Let's do it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: all right. We're gonna start off with Blaine and the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: first one on the list five eleven, one eighty quarterback
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and safety number three, it's Colin Davis.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's a kid that I saw right away. As
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a sophomore. He would play kind of some spot duty
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit of safety quarterback, and every time he
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: came in he really impressed me. And I think he
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: wears number three. He's a huge fan of Russell Wilson
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: growing up and kind of has that style where you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: very mobile in the pocket, but can get out and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: run when needed. He has a big arm, but not
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a huge guy, but he had a big arm where
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you can throw deep down the field and uh and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: not a play not afraid to pop someone on defense,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: which I always appreciate that on with a with a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: quarterback because I didn't always feels like it really rallies
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: your team. It's like that's our leader out there, like
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: mixing it up, you know, And there's something about that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I always really loved in high school football. And you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: he threw like five touchdown passes his sophomore year. Right
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: right away he got the starting job as a junior,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and you know, a whole new offense that he had
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to learn with a whole new coaching staff and and
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: put up some pretty good numbers. And then this past
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: year it was the same coaching staff and pretty much
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the same offense, but a different style as far as
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to be much more run oriented and you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going to be more of a running threat now, and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you're going to be starting on defense and you'll be
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: playing a lot. And it was you know, he became
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a captain, and he was a leader in the weight room,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and there was just so many evolutions kind of of
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: his career and it's been and it's been great getting
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to know him too. I mean I sat with him
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: for like thirty minutes at a volleyball game where he
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was showing me about, you know, how to use my
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: camera a different way and what everything all the little
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: things mean you know, because I just put it on
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: automatic and go and he's like, well, you know different,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Every gym is different, Like you could you can try
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: something and do this, and you click a little bit
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: more here and try it and look at it and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: change it here. And he was really knowledgeable about that
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff and just really fun to get to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: know and talk to, and so that was really cool
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and just a really personal kid. Over his career, throwing
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the ball one hundred and ninety two completions for twenty
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy yards and twenty three touchdowns, carried
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the ball one hundred and ninety three times for four
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: hundred ninety four yards and fourteen touchdowns. I think I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: think in Week one I chose him on fantasy to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: be my quarterback. And they kept scoring all these rushing touchdowns,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and I was kind of walking by him because I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was on the sideline that that whole game. I was
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: walking by and I just kind of gradually said, hey,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: keep one every once in a while, and I was thinking,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, he probably didn't hear me, you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and then like early in the second half, he pulled
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it and kept it and ran for like a thirty
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: yard touchdown and he's running off the field and high
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: five and stuff like that. And he comes over to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: me and he said something to me in passing. He's like,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he's like, I got you, I got you. I was like,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: He's just he's just a really sharp kid, you know.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And it's a great he's a great leader, and that's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: what you want with your quarterback. Also, defensive Lien's career
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: fifty four and a half tackles, five passes broken up,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a sack, and a forced fumble. Really just a good,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you know, heady player defensively, Uh will come up and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: pop you, which I like, I said, I really really
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like and and uh yeah, just a you know kid.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: This whole class is really unique because they've kind of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: gone through it all. They've gone through coaching changes, They've had,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, a seasons where they win just one game
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and then they win seven this year, which they hadn't
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: done in over ten years. So a lot of emotions
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: up and down this whole, this whole class, and he's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a big part of it and the leader of this class.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Next up five ten one to eighty five wide receiver
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and corner Summer six Tomics Cocks.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had an interception at the game you were
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: at against Cedar Park Christian down there in your neck
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of the woods. And yeah, he's a kid that every
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: year just kept getting bigger and more physical. And then
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I see him in August and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: he was jacked. I was like, are you this kid's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a corner like he is, he's ripped, and I was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and he was thick, and I just thought. I was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: asking coach By He's like, yeah, he's just another one
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of the those weight room guys. This comes every single day.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I remember he did track and field his junior year
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: just to kind of build up for football, and he
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: was like throwing shot and stuff like that. I mean,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of wide receiver corners that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: are throwing the shot, but you know, but he was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a big, strong kid and he was the one that, uh,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I think he was throwing the discus and I was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: taking pictures and and you know, when you're taking picture,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you got the camera right up to you and you're
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: focusing on something, your other eyes closed, and all of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a sudden they're like heads, you know, and I'm like,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: what in the discus went right over my head? He
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: threw it out of bounds first year doing it, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you know someone yelled out like, oh man, if you
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: would have hit you, you'd have never been on walking preps,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you know, and he's like, sorry, Tyler, and it was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it was got a big laugh, you know. I think
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: it was like at like the district meet or county
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: meet or something. It was a lot of teams there
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and got a good chuckle from a lot of people.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: But really really physical player, you know, big enough and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: strong enough to come in and play tight end. You know,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: there was a game that Blake Kresky was out. I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: think it was against Freddy Harbor. He just played tight
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: end the whole game and as a corner a really
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: good tackling corner obviously being a strong kid, but uh athletic,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, made some diving interceptions and just a fun
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: player to watch. In his career, eight catches for one
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen yards. He did have a kickoff return
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: for nine yards, and on defense twenty nine and a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: half tackles, nine passes broken up, five tackles for loss,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: which I love out of that corner spot. You know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: when they does quick screens or different things like that.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He's gonna sniffen out and make the play and not
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: worry about it. And then he also had three interceptions
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: which you returned for thirty two yards in total. So
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you know, a good player on both sides of the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ball and another big time leader that they're gonna miss.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Next up five eight, one eighty five wide receiver, safety, kicker, punter,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: water boy, back up every I mean, this guy did
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a lot of things. Tyler number
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: twenty one, logan of Villa Reale.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every team has got that kid, right, It's just
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: you know, you could plug and play different spots. There
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was a lot of trick plays where he would throw
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the ball and you know, did a couple of them
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: from you know, punting formation. Uh, because he would come in,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: they would kind of do the way they would punt
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: is they would line up like a normal offense, you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and he was like a backup running back too, so
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: he would come in at running back and if they
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: saw something they like, maybe they would go for it.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But if they don't, then he would just you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: kind of you know Colin Davis just move over a
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: little bit and he would move, you know, to about
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: eight yards behind the center so and just take snap
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and pun it really really quickly. Well there were times
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: where I mean, you have Colin Davis back there, but
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you're still snapping into him, and he would throw the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: ball like thirty forty yards down the field, a really
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: high arcing throw and the gunners just running down there
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and he turns around makes the catch. And they had
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: a few plays they had They did that a few
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: times and and yeah he was I mean he was
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: two of three passing for sixty three yards. So there
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you go. And uh, but yeah, I did a lot
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of things. He had that game where he was the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: special teams player that we because he hit a couple
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: extra points. But then there was a couple two point
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: convergencies scored on bad snaps where he got the ball
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and just running around for his life and eventually scored.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I could. I mean, it was great when he did
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it the first time. I couldn't believe he did it
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the second time. It was just like so deja vus.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: His coverage as the season went on got just better
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and better. He was making reads on kids and making
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hits like right when they were needed to be hit,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: right when the ball would get there. As timing was great,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and yeah, just he's one of those kids that, like,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I wish he had another year because I think he's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: got another stet, like he's got another level to him
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that we're just not able to see because the improvement
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: just kept coming. And it's like, man, you just wish
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: he had one more kid or one more year for
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that kid. And he's definitely one of those kinds of kids.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: And and I apologize because I misspelled his name so
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: many darn times throughout the years. He set me straight
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: after I did the graphic with Special Teams Player of
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the Week, He's like, it's two l's and two rs.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, are you kidding me? I hate what
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I do that. But then I but then I know
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: from now on, like I'm never gonna screw it up.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Once you get corrected, you're good. Yeah, oh yeah, I'm
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I you know, just for all of you listening out there,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you know, if I if it's something, let me know,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: please let me know. I want to get it right.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And that's not just spelling, that's pronunciations like any of that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Like we want to do it right and and we
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: won't be mad, like actually, we will be very happy
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that we are doing it right, like there's there's a
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: name coming up here in the next couple tyler where
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at it already going I got to remember
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: how to say this one right. You got me corrected
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: or you got it right, and so now I should
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: be able to get it right. But if you if
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: we had never done that, yeah we might say it wrong.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, what was it one, uh Nevadomski, Yeah we
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: did it for a year. We said it wrong. How
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: many times did I say your name this year? Probably
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: three times? You know what I mean? And I still
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get it wrong, you know, right,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: because it's in now, it's you.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You got it. Uh. For Logan's career, eight carries for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: twenty six yards, he cut six for thirty four yards
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Two of three passing for sixty three yards.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, he had two kickoff returns for
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: fourteen yards. He punted the ball ten times, averaging thirty
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: three yards punt. He made twenty six extra points and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: we haven't even gotten a defense yet, so pretty crazy.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Forty three tackles, six tackles for loss, which is huge
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: coming from a safety spot. Five passes broken up, two
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception. Great, great season,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: up and down, so many things that he did from
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: beginning to end. But like I said, the improvement just
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: kept coming. And I wish he had another year. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: if coach Olsen's listening to this, he's he's probably saying
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I wish he had another year too, because he's very,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: very crucial in all three phases.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think people understand too Like, as a coach,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: if your punter is averaging thirty three, is what you said,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I believe. Yeah, yeah, like you're more than.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Happy with that. Like NFL, you're fired.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Like but right, yeah, if in high school, if you
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: get because punt is just something that isn't you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: it's a specialized thing to be really good at. Like
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: we have a freshman at Bothel who I don't think
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: he punted once all year, but he can absolutely hammer
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: it and next year we're gonna use him and he's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: gonna absolutely crush him. But very few punters in high
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: school can really do that consistently. So to have a
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: guy that can, you know that thirty three isn't like, oh,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: we we're gonna flip the field, but you know, what
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: if you're punting from your own you know, if the
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: ball's on your own thirty and you're gonna give it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to them on their forty, you're fine with that. Like, yeah,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: at least you're on the other side and you got
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: to make them go sixty yards, you know, way better
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: than eighteen, you know. So, yeah, thirty three is like
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: it's way better than people probably realize. NFL, You're you're
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: not even in the league. I mean, you're you're gone.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And there might be there might be fans out there
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: or parents or family members that are like, well I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: tracked him and they were going further than that, But
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's from the line of scrimmage. It's not from where
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: he kicks it from.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the actual kick itself is thirty three plus
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: fifteen is what he you know, is what his average
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: technically like would be, you know, well, and not always
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: fifteen like at Boffel, I think we go back thirteen,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, But the general rule for
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: punting is fifteen yards. But yeah, that's yeah, there's a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: lot of people that don't understand that one too. That's
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that's one that I've had to correct quite a few
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: times over the years, me too. Next up, Tyler five,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: seven sixty five, running back, linebacker number twenty four. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: think one of our favorite guys here is kolbe Ship. Yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: we've been talking about.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Him a long time, and of course we've brought up
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the story multiple times. He's the he's my first interaction
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: with him ever. Use take taking headshots is sophomore year.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: You know, take his picture. He walks over to me,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: gives me the sheet that I have them fill out.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: He just goes, you're gonna use that picture a lot.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And he walks off, and I'm thinking, I've never even
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I've never even heard of this kid. So I look
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: down and I'm like, I don't know who this is
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and it says sophomore and I'm thinking, okay, you know whatever.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And I asked coach Dodd and I was like, so
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is he gonna play. He's like, he's like, yeah, we
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: need him to play. He's gonna be starting both ways.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm like thinking, okay, so he's confident, but he's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: he's gonna back it up. And he backed it up
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: right away. I mean, you know, it was tough, but
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: he had some moments there where it was just like
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: he's another one of those kids where a lot of
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: times he's the smallest one on the field, and I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: know what that's like, and you take it, you take
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it kind of personal and you feel like you're not
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that you're being targeted, but like everybody knows it. You know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: everybody's kind of in on it. Everyone knows you're the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: smallest kid on the field. So you have to play
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: with this extra kind of vigor, and he he really does.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, and it's so weird when you look at
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: his stats from year to year to year and they
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: all kind of just move around and do different things,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: because you know, his sophomore year he had a ton
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of carries and they used him a lot, and he
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: carried them ball like twenty five times a game. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in his junior year they kind of he kind of
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: split carries with Pius and this year it was mostly Pious,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: but he was playing, you know, he would spell him
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, but he'd play as a
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: slot receiver, he'd come in motion, he'd lead block. But
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and on defense he was doing a ton again, was
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: moved from safety to linebacker, returning kicks. I mean, he
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: was doing so many different things kind of whatever was
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: needed and never had like this standout year, had some
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: good moments and games, but then when you look at
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: his numbers as a whole, you're just like, my goodness,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Like he did a lot. You know, we've talked about
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: him a lot obviously, and you know, he's just he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: just had a he's had a really good career. Uh,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty five carries for one ninety one
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: yards and ten touchdowns, twelve catches for one hundred and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: eight yards, ten kickoff returns for one hundred and thirty yards,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: four punt returns for twenty one yards, and then on defense,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen and a half tackles, six and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a half tackles for loss, eleven passes broken up, three
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: interceptions they return fifteen yards, and a fumble recovery. And yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I you know, he was the one that came up
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: with well, he was the one that told me anyways
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: about you know, the Border Patrol defense which was there,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you know, that's what they called themselves, and it's like
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: just those kinds of cool things. I Mean, he'd get
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he'd get pretty animated, you know, in the game on
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the sidelines. Uh, he was a big part of changing
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the culture at Blaine and stuff like that, and it's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like always compete and those kinds of things, and getting
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the younger kids to realize that, hey, you know, we're
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: going to be gone next year. It's on you, so
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: this is what you gotta do, and those kinds of things. So,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, just a great player all around, and you know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: did and understood what was best for the team and
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: took a back seat to another running back that had
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: a monster year, you know, and he understood that and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: he but he would come in and get his carries
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and he averaged like six and a half yards of
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: carry this year. So you know, it wasn't like he
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: couldn't have went over a thousand if he wasn't the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: main guy. But he understood what was best with the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: team and knew his role. And I just love that
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: about him because there's not a lot of players that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: take that very well.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Getting into some of the big bodies here, Tyler next
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: up six two two thirty five. Uh, this one here
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: says left tackle, not just teh left tackle, defensive tackle
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: number fifty two.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It's Malloy Messenger. Yeah, a Meridian transfer. I think he
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: played at Meridian. His freshman year and then transferred to Blaine,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: played Blaine in the last three years and started out
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: as a like a tight end outside linebacker type kid
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: and even had to catch a few years ago for
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: ten yards and and was as as a junior, was
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: kind of like that sixth lineman that could play a
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: lot of different spots. And because they had you know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: some seniors, they had some other guys, and there was
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a I think there was a suspension at one time
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and an injury at another time, so he was able
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to get a lot of playing time and come in
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and play. Meanwhile, in defense, he's you know, one of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: their leading tacklers as an outside linebacker, could really move
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: for his size. And then again another one of those
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: weight room kids. I come up, but I come out
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of August and I look at him, like, my goodness,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: like he just put on like thirty pounds, like just muscle.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this line is getting huge. And I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and then with the graduations and stuff, I knew he'd
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: be fitting right in at left tackle. He's athletic, can
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: move his feet. That's perfect for him, you know. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the way their defense changed to kind of have more
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, almost like a five to two.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: You're just having those two inside linebackers. You don't really
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: have an outside linebacker anymore. So he was going to
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: be a turn into like a defensive tackle, and and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: did really good at it. And so it was just,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you know, he's just one of those consistent kids that
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: again got got moved from a glory position to a
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: non glory position and and did really well at it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Probably didn't say anything about it. Ended up with ninety
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: five and a half tackles, four tackles for loss, a sack,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: and a forced fumble. And I also he had that
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: catch for ten yards, like I said earlier, and and yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I just a guy that's gonna be really really tough
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: to replace next year. That's that's the one spot, the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: left tackle. I'm really curious who's gonna be in that spot.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: If it's gonna be a Gus Dixon or or who
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be there.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: You know, those line's gonna be a little smaller next year,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: and you know they're gonna have to build because Malachi
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Morillo returns to be his third year as a starter.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: He was a big six four three and ten pound
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: kid at left guard. Do you keep him there? Do
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you move him at left tackle? Just kind of depends
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: on what the offense is going to be like. But
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be a tough one to replace.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Six two two thirty five just a center, yep, number
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: fifty five Zoe Nateba.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, athletic kid was a basketball player not able to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: turn out this year because of just you know, it's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: just a horrible injury right at the end of the year.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: This is this just it just stinks too, because you know,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: he's the starting center all year and did a did
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a good job. You know, another big body up there,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: athletic and that it was that that Kansas tiebreaker against Baker.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Blaine's got the ball first, they end up scoring, and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: then they kicked the extra point. Baker ends up scoring
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and they go for two and they get the win.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: But and I was doing the live feed right there
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and what was happening, and I didn't realize it at
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the time, But after they scored the touchdown, they you know,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: they they I think they may have even lined up
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: for two, but then they called timeout, and then then
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: maybe they even called another timeout, and then they ended
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: up kicking the extra point. What I didn't realize was
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Zoe got hurt on that touchdown run. And they were
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: worried about because their plan was to go for two
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: with the wind was right in their face. I mean,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it was a strong wind going right at their face.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It'd be tough to kick. I mean, Hilla Real made it,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: but you know it, you think you can go for
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: two there, especially with their offensive line and their their
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: running game. They just went right down and scored. But
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Zoe got hurt on that play. And it's like, do
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you put in a backup who hasn't played all year,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you know, against varsity competition and your most important play
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of the game, you know what I mean, it's like
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to go for the two point conversion. And that's why
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: they were calling the timeouts. They were trying to discuss,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like what do we do here? And and they ultimately
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: decided to go for the extra point, and you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and they end up losing eight to seven in that
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and that's that's really that's really tough, and that speaks
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: a lot to to their belief in Zoe and and
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it's just it was tough because I saw him in
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: that that final game against Bellingham on the sideline. He
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: had like one crutch and you know, and he would
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: have been one of the guys that had returned on
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the basketball team that had some varsity experience. And now
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: they're gonna miss that and and that's just really that's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: just really tough. But but man, a part of that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: really good line that you know, big line. I mean,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: he was he was Him and Maloya were the smallest
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: guys on that line and they're they're they're big dudes,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you know. So, uh yeah, he's definitely gonna be missed.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Sixty three to ten defensive end, it's number sixty six.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Zu. Yeah, one of my favorites for sure. Kind of
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: came on the scene as a sophomore a little bit
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: and and he would just come off that ball really quickly.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And that's what's great about huddles. You have the ability
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to kind of go slow motion and stop it and
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: look and kind of see who's who's getting off the
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: ball quick, you know, And and like you know, back
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in the day, you always see Quartez Kennedy. Man, he'd
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: get off that ball quick, and and it was he
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: would always be one of those guys, you know, I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: used to talk about Zach Sipma was like that, like
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he seemed like he'd be, you know, halfway past the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman before they're setting up, and Zu had that.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: There was something about his ability to just get up
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and go really quick and he be came into a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: really good pass rusher because of it, and you know,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: just would play defense, and they thought about making him
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a tight end. You know, was he gonna wear eighty eight,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: was he gonna wear sixty six, and ultimately settled on
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: sixty six because they just didn't have a lot of
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: depth after their top five offensive linemen went in there
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit here and there. I mean, there was
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: some times when it'd be him and like four freshmen
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: out there playing offensive line, like late in games, and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it was kind of cool to see kind of him
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: kind of mentoring these kids. But he's learning too, because
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: they need that sixth guy just to kind of learn
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the position. But rarely went out there on offense, but
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: was just a dominant defensive lineman. All Conference first team
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: guy on the defensive line this past year, which was great.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: He really he truly deserved it. In his career. Eighty
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: two tackles, twenty two tackles for loss, and eleven sacks,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: four passes knocked down at the line of scrimmage, three
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries. So he just he
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: just made plays, and he made a lot of them
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage. And you know, there was
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: a coach that I talked to because I the big
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: talk was there. There was you know, the strength of
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that defense is they're two defensive ents, right, you know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Kureski and you. And there was a coach that I
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: talked to that said, we don't want to run to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: sixty six side because he stays home like he's he's
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: so he does the right thing, and it's like he
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: always makes the right play. Thirty five is really good,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: but he crashes a lot and we think we can
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: get outside of him. And so I was like, wow,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: like that's really cool to underto like see those things.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And then you start realizing like how good Z was
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and uh, super polite kid too, always you know with
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: mister Anderson, you know, and all that stuff, and I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: really appreciate that, and uh yeah, just really fun to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: watch him develop and mature over the years and become
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a really top top end football player.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: How are we like three hundred and what ten episodes eleven.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I don't even know where we're at. I just had
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: it a few minutes ago. How are we that far in?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: And I've never had a mister Anderson from from the Matrix, like, yeah,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: what happened there? Like that's a that seems like a
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: big miss on our part.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: What's funny about that is I I years ago when
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I worked at Lennendoor, there was a lot of people
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: come up to me like they're just walking by and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: they just go, mister Anderson and keep walking. I just thought, okay,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and it would happen all over the place. It happened
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: there a lot, but it would happen all over the place.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And I had never seen the Matrix. I had no
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: clue what was going on. And I finally watched it
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: like probably ten years ago, and I was like, and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it just blew my mind. I was like, all those years,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: that's why so many people would say mister Anderson, And
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I was like.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: That's and they all thought you probably knew exactly what
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: was going on.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, And I would just smile and go, hey,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, dude, you know so I had no idea.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, Tyler next up six four to seventy right tackle,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle. It's number seventy seven. The young man who
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: gave us the intro, Jaden Winslow.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another mister Anderson guy. This guy he goes above
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and beyond, takes his helmet off, shakes my hand. Mister Anderson.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: How's the family that kind of stuff? Talk about super polite,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: awesome guy. And he's a huge compared to you, especially right. Yeah,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he's this big, giant guy and he's she's super nice
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and you have to like yell up at him. Family
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: is good. Yeah, and uh. And I always just kind
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of thought because he's so polite and everything, I was like,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: can he is he nasty enough on the offensive line?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And his improvement from junior to senior year was just amazing.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: And he like right off the bat, like game one,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: he was a mauler, like he was the guy. He
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: was a dude. And then I saw him playing some
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: defense which I hadn't seen him play defense ever, and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: he was in on the rotation on the defensive line
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and he's he was making plays and chasing down guys.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, he reminded me of like like and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: this is going way back, but Ernie Ladd was a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: guy that played like in the AFL. And he was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: like six ' nine three twenty back when guys were
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: not that big, you know, especially in the NFL or AFL.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And and his nickname was the Big Cat. And he
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: ended up when he retired, he end up becoming a
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: wrestler and he was really into wrestling and stuff like that,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: and and he like owned one of the territories on Louisiana.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And but he was named the big Cat, you know,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the big Cat, Ernie Ladd. And when I and like
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: he would just stand out as a giant among all
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: these other guys. But he was fast and he could
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: move and he was nasty. That's what Winslow reminded me of.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, he's the big Cat. Like he is
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: just I loved watching him play this year because he
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: just totally transformed into a dominant senior and it was
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: it was so cool to see because now he's just
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: like he's business. Now. It's like he was just nod
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: at me. Now there's no more mister Anderson. He's like yeah,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: because he doesn't have time to say that. On defense,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: he's playing defense now, you know, he's out there. Yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and it's just so cool because I like, I went
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: to State track for the first time last spring and
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I was only there for day one because that's when
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I had time to do that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: When I was covering the said I remember that. Yeah,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: you just walked through real quick. I remember that.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just went there and I bumped into him,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and he was jack to be there because there wasn't
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of Blayane athletes there. There was like, uh,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I think Taya Dubay was there for high jump and
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: there might have been like a relay and it was
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: him and that was it, and and he was you know,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: he was like this is just so cool. He's looking around.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: He's like I was like, good, good for you, man,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: good for you to make it here. And he was
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: pretty jacked about throwing the shot put at State. He's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: just he's just one of those great kids. And so yeah,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: so it was great to see him play this year.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: He had thirty two and a half tackles, five and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: a half tackles for loss, knock down a pass at
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. I'm jack that coach Olsen got
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: him in on defense and he was able to make
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: some plays and yeah, I mean, you saw so many
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: runs to the right side, so many runs right off
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the right tackles hip and and he's a big reason
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: why literally and figuratively.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Next up sixty three, two sixty probably another reason why
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: they went to the right side a lot right guard
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle number fifty six, it's Auto Shelton.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably the best technical lineman they had, best overall lineman,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: just super strong, can move, great wrestler, and you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: be competing in that heavyweight division in the one a's, uh,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it was. It was kind of tricky because
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: it's like it was him and and and uh Victor Gerval,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: you know, where the two best in the area in
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the heavyweight for the one a's. But he's they play,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: they wrestle on the same team and then you gotta
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: you know, continue on and stuff like that. And you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: vic Vic of course was winning all sorts of tournaments
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And I can't remember exactly where
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: he finished out in state. I think he got third maybe,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: and uh, and but Otto is gonna take over that
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: spot in wrestling. But man as a football player doesn't
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: say a whole lot, just goes to work, you know,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: lunch Paal type of guy, hard to move when he's
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: playing defense, just you know, just knows leverage and he's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: strong and he's big. It's just like all those wrestlers,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: those defensive lineman wrestlers, they just know how to use
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: their body and and uh and you know he's no different.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: He's another Uh. He was named All Conferences First Team
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: offensive line and he's just a solid block, like just
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you know, it's so hard to move and he will
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: move you. He did have thirty six and a half
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: tackles in his career, nine and a half tackles for
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: loss and the pass uh knockdown. Yeah, really really good
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: top end player. Auto Shelton.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Five ten eighty five running back, linebacker number twenty three.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe the guy that got picked the most this year
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: in fantasy football to Shade and Pias. Yeah, I remember
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the text week one from from Olsen just as Paias
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and all caps or whatever it was.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he Holy cow. I you know, every year there
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: is that kid that doesn't make the top one hundred
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: as a junior and then just goes off as a senior.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: There's a kid like that every single year. But I
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's been as extreme as it was
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: this year. You know, he had that gam where he
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: ran for like three hundred and eighteen yards or something.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's, you know, one of the best ever
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: in Walkham County history. I mean it made the I
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: mean I keep a you know, I keep a record
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: book where I show the top fifth fifteen, and it
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: made that in Wakam County history, not just Blaine history,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: although in Blaine history that's like seventh or eighth best
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: because freaking Gabato. But Jade and Pia's what I heard,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you know, in the off season was that, you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I mean, he you know, he's
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: in the weight room a bunch, and he was a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: kid that got he's so fast, so strong, and and
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: you could be a fast kid. You could be a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: strong kid, but it doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna be
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a good running back. You know, you gotta have vision,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you gotta know when to cut, you gotta you know,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you gotta be tough. You know, there's so many little
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: things you gotta do, and holy cow, that those are
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: all just kind of natural for him. I mean I
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: remember him having big plays as a sophomore and thinking,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: whoa this guy's he's got some little wiggle to him
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: that he's going to be good down the road, you know.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: And in junior year he was a little bit better.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I swear he was like my number one
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: oh one. You know. He was the one that I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: heard about the most, like that from not making the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: top one hundred, and I never heard it from him.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I just heard about it from other people, you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I know, but I can't do
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: the top one hundred and one, you know. And this year,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: like right out of the gates. I mean that first
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: game against Renton, and I know it was against Renton,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: but like I think he had like nine carries for
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five yards and four touchdowns, and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: then he scored two touchdowns on defense. I'm like, what
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: the heck is this? Like this kid is like turning
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in the MVP of the county already. And one of
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the touchdowns on defense was called back on a kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of a fluky call that was way behind the play.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: But he had a pick six and then he had
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: to play where you know, I think you know, he
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: got the quarterback was hitting the ball came up in
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the air and he grabbed it and scored and I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: called that a fumble and fumble return, and I mean
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: he just and then he had another pick six like
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: like I don't know, a couple of weeks later, but
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: that was the game at I want to say, Shelan
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: and and but every every single game he would just
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: go off, you know, he had he'd have these these
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: monster games. I mean there were games when Blaine got
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: handled pretty bad or and but he would seem to
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: have a good game. You know. It was like, you know,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: there there there are certain guys that just you are
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: really really hard to stop. And yeah, I got it
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that he was, you know, playing some other some teams
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: that weren't so great and he was putting up numbers
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: against them. But but yeah, I mean every single weeks.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, okay, so against Renton, eight carries for one
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven yards, Cedar Park Christian nine carries
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: for one hundred seventy four yards. Shelanne he carried for
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three yards. Granted falls one hundred
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and eighty yards. So now you're going into conference play,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: so they play against Lennon Christian he runs for one
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven yards. And he catches six passes
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: for sixty three yards. You know, I mean he's totaling
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: He's totally one hundred and ninety yards of offense in
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: league play now, So it wasn't a fluke. I mean,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Nuksac Valley hammered Blaine. He still ran for eighty six yards.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: That was his lowest out, but that was the only
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: game he didn't go over one hundred. He runs for
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: three hundred and sixteen against Friday Harbor that was the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: big one, and then Mount Baker takes it to him.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: He still ran for one hundred and nineteen yards. And
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: then the Maratiing game that they had to win, he
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: runs for two thirty seven, and then in his final
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: game he runs for two seventy two. That's just you know,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: that's different and and yeah, I mean he didn't look tired.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: It was named All Conference First Team running Back and
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: uh and deserved it. It was a pretty good little linebacker two,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: which is you know, for those how many carries he
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: was getting to still have that kind of output on
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the defensive side. Finished his career with three hundred and
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: fifty seven carries for two thousand, five hundred and ninety
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: one yards. That's pretty impressive for not even having yet
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a thousand coming into the season, you know, and ending
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: with almost twenty six hundred twenty seven touchdowns, thirteen catches
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty yards, three kickoff returns for
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: eighty five yards, and defense twenty nine and a half tackles,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: four passes defended, three sacks, three tackles for loss, a
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: forced fumble, two interceptions, one that he returned for touchdown,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: two fumble recoveries, one that he returned for touchdown. He
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: was a playmaker up and down the season, all the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: way through, and uh, super stoked for him because now
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: he's you know, he's he's hoping to maybe play somewhere
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: and you know, he's one of those he'd be a
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: great kid. I don't know, if they're still doing it
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: up in Canada. What was that team that would take
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of Langley Rams, they'd take a couple walking
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: kind of teams. He'd be a perfect candidate for that.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I'll text my guy right now. Yeah. So,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I mean that's he like, you know, the Caleb Wheelers
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: that would go up there, Steven de Lorenzo, and like,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: you know, he's just he's one of those kind of
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: guys that, holy cow, he's a he's a gem, and
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: it was just it was just a late arriving gem,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: that's all. But I think when he focused everything on football,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: he really showed what he could do and had a
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: just a magical season.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Last but certainly not least on this list. Tyler six
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: foot two, twenty five tight end, defensive end number thirty
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: five Blake Kureski.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when I did the Top one hundred list last year,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: he was the top ranked Blaine player as a junior.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Even so I was really curious how it was going
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: to go. I mean, he was a guy that was
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: just a just an inside linebacker, and then he kicked
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: off a little bit late in the year when when
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Hayes was a little banged up with a back injury,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: and so senior year, I kind of thought, oh, they
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: might move him to full back. He did a little
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: bit of full back a sophomore. He's your main tackler
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: as a middle linebacker, and coach Olsen was like claps
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: the sands and goes he's gonna be a tight end
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: and defensive end. And I'm like, huh, Like, you're taking
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: your best guy and he's gonna play two completely new
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: positions and he's gonna kick off all year. And I
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: was like, I was like, well, that's why he's coach Olson.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: And I don't know anything, because it was perfect because
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: with that again, that extra guy next to wins though.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Blocking down with that's that's that strong. That helps your
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: run game. He helped the receiving game a little bit.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: He caught caught a few passes, but he was a great,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: great blocker. And then defensively, I mean he led the
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: county in sacks this year. He was an All Conference
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: selection as a defensive end. And and he just would
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: terrorize guys. I mean, unblockable at times. You know, he'd
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: knocked down two passes and two consecutive plays. I mean
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: he would take over games sometimes on the defensive side.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: He even missed a game this year and still had
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: outrageous numbers. And a pretty polite kid as well. I
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: mean that's you know, it's crazy to see that again,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: that a kid that big and you go out and
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: then he's you know, he's a forward on the soccer team.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: It's like he just looks different than everybody else out there.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: They're all these you know, thin kids running that could
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: run forever. And he's just this giant, like barrel chested
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: guy that you know, with fiery red hair and just
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: like holy cow, who is that? You know? He really
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: stands out, great great athlete. Ten catches for one hundred
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: and sixty six yards and a touchdown, and then on
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: defense one hundred and twenty seven and a half tackles,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: twenty two tackles for lost, thirteen and a half sacks,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: five forced fumbles. I mean that again, five forced fumbles.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone in this class had that many.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: But he would man, when he would blindside a quarterback,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: it was scary. I mean, I think he I mean,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: you don't want to see kids get injured, but I
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: don't know if he. I don't know how many quarterbacks
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: he injured throughout the year, but that early non league schedule,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: it was. It was happening a lot like times. A
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: game three passes knocked down, two of them in a row.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Again one game that I remember seeing in the same drive,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: three fumble recoveries. He also had an interception that he
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: returned eleven yards when he was playing linebackers junior year.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Tremendous player. Uh you know, I just can't say enough
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: about him and and this whole class really because every
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: single kid and this class that we just talked about
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: had such a huge impact on the program. And you know,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a very different Blaine border right team
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: next year you do return. You know, Malachi Morillo and
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Kay Kerwin, and you know there's a few guys here
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and there, Axel Shelton and Peyton Bauma, but there's you know,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to be There's gonna be a lot
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: of new guys and they're just gonna have to remember
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: what these kids did and they're gonna have to fill
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: those shoes and and and just go out there and
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and just play their best because these kids set an
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: example that everyone else is gonna have to follow.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: That's it for Blaine. Any last words before we move on.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I think we're ready to move on, all right.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Well, next up is Lyndon. And it's interesting because a
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago we I think we gave Lynden
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: their own senior podcast because there were so many of them.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: This year we're looking at uh what about twelve? I mean,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I don't even know here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eleven,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: only eleven seniors on this list, and it's just weird.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: It's it's weird to not see a huge number from Linden.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean there's obviously some some real serious
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: quality here, but uh, we're just used to seeing huge
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: senior classes out of Linden.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: It's kind of wild.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: And we when we started breaking up to figure out,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: you know, how many podcasts and who was going to
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: be with who, it was like, Wow, Linden only has
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: a few guys here. It's kind of kind of interesting.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: But Tyler, we were starting off with five ten what
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: eighty five? Corner number fifteen Jayden, Oh.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're if you're trying to pick who's the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: fastest kid on the team, I you know, yeah, you
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: could look at Danny Bowler, Sam Orango, but my money
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: might be on Jade Noakes. He is lightning fast and
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: a kid that super athletic that kind of got his
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: chance as a senior to start at Corner, did really well,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: got banged up later in the year, missed some games.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Was able to come back at the end and play,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: which is great. Uh, but you know, him missing some games,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you know kind of you know, probably hurt his chances
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: for all conference stuff and things like that. I would
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: remember being at the game when they hosted Lakewood. I
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: want to say that was like week eight or something
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: like that, and I'm standing on the sidelines and Jade
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Noakes is is you know, it's right at kickoff, and
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: he's kind of doing some sprints like right by me, whosh,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: just going back and forth, and and I think coach
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Bomber came up to him. He was like, are you ready,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: like can are you feeling it? And he's just kind
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: of like, I still don't know, like you know, and
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: they're probably thinking like, Okay, we'll get you out there
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: and play a little bit, but if you're not, if
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: it's not good, we'll take you right out. You know,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: they got a ton of depth and I don't know
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: what it was, and I was a hamstring or something
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: like that. But that was tough to see up close
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: because you know, he wanted to play so bad and
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: he's a kid that like at a lot of different schools,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: like he could probably start at wide receiver, you know.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: But Linden got so many kids and so much talent
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: that you can put guys mostly just on offense, mostly
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: just on defense. And he was a defensive guy. He
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: did have one catch for three yards in his career,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: returned to kickoff eleven yards, but on defense fifty three
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: and a half tackles, three passes broken up, three interceptions
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: that he returned to total seventy two yards. Again, there's
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: that speed and play three and a half tackles for loss,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. You know another
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: kid that I'm like, Oh, I wish there was another
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: year because I think that and that happens a lot
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: at Linden where you when you you play behind so
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: much talent that when you become a senior you finally
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: get your turn and it goes fast. And this year
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: went really fast for Linden from what they're used to.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: So uh So, yeah, Jade Noakes really really great kid,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: good athlete.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: I'll be excited to see him for baseball season five
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: ten one fifty wide receiver, defensive back at number forty one,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: Wyatt Hanson.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a kid that as the second you're
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: playing and uh this is kind of a funny story
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: here because his dad is Andy Hanson. Uncle is Tim Hanson.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: So you're talking two big time players for Linden in
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: the nineties. Tim Hanson forever was like the you know,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the tackle champion of Linden, like had the most tackles
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: in the season. And it was Kirk Cramey's first year
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: as head coach and they went they won the state title,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: and and he was just this guy that people would
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: look at in the record book and go, he had
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: that many tackles, that's impossible, you know. So he was
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: kind of like this mythical creature almost and then finally
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: it was broken years later. But it took you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: it took like twenty five years or something like that.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: And and then Andy Hanson, who's his dad, was a
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: really good full back and they both wore number forty two.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: They're both like, you know, with the big honk and
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: shoulder pads with the neck roll number forty two like
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: they was like holy cow. So he comes in and
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: they say you want to wear a number forty two,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: and he goes no because he knows like what that means.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like Hanson forty two, Okay, he's not
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: as big as those guys. And and so he wore
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: forty one, which is cool, and uh, but yeah, I
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: just it was fun to see him be a part
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: of the linen program and understand kind of you know
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: what maybe his dad and his uncle were always talking about,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: you know, about how important it was to be a
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: linen line and he got to experience that for a
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: couple of years.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Six two two thirty offensive line, defensive line number fifty
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: five and Joe Band Joe Band Kanga.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a guy, good sized athletic. When they would
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: go jumbo every once in a while, they will go
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and you've seen it. I've sent screenshots over the years.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Well they'll have seven offensive linemen out there. Gorgeous, yes,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: and he comes in for that and uh and played
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: some defense too. So yeah, Like, like I said, pretty
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: good size. Lindon has a lot of these kinds of
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: kids that you play at a different school and you're
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: you're like a staple like right tackle or left tackle,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and but they find they'll find formations, they'll find ways
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: to get kids that are not starters but have starter
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: worthy talents and get them into games in big moments
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: and and feed and feed their confidence and and I
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: think that was a huge thing for him.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: He also he did have three tackles and a tackle
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: for loss on defense. He was part of the rotation
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: on the defensive line sometimes and but I think his
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: big his big thing is when they'd bring in those
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: seven offensive linemen, he'd come out on the field and
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, playing like a tight end spot.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Not gonna go out and catch a pass, but they're
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: gonna pound the ball and they can they could run
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: behind him if needed.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Five five offensive line defensive line. That it's number sixty
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: three Cooper Constanti.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: And same exact thing. He was the other senior that
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: they would bring in. H built more like a guard,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: but uh, but big time motor and UH loved watching
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: him play play the little more defense. I would say,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: you know, it was a heavier part of that rotation.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: They kind of have like I don't know, they almost
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: have like three sets of defensive lineman because they have
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: kind of like their starting guys that's kind of the
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: their quickness guys, and then they have their kind of
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: their their backups to those guys that have a little
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: bit more that are bigger. And he was in that role.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: And then there was another set that would be like big,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: like big guys that start on the offensive line, you know,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: that would would come in that maybe just for an
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: important like you know you're in had the five or
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: something like that, or a really big third and one
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: fourth and one play and so. But he was in
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: on those rotations, had seven tackles. He also had a
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: tackle for loss. Again, another kid that you know you're
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: going to another school, you're probably gonna start at guard
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: and play pretty darn well. Tyler.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Is this right six seven seventy five for this next guy? Yes,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: good lord sixty seven two seventy five, right guard number
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: seventy two, Ryan van Berkham. Yeah, started all last year
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: right tackle for most of the year. He might have
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: he might have been deemed up. At one point this
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: year was moved inside to right guard.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, there was some shuffling on that offensive line, and
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, what a I mean, it's a large human, huge,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: huge guy and didn't play any defense. I'm curious if
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: he came into block extra points because you know, you
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: could you could imagine. Uh, but I he's a guy
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: that I think could you know scouts would be intrigued
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: by just because of the frame and the size and
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: the pedigree. Starting two years on the linen offensive line. Uh,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: so you know you're coached really well. And again I'm
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: going to bring up Michael Bhman. Michael Bhreman is a
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: kid who did not start on the linen offensive line.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Was kind of a late bloomer, you know, was this
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: play until his senior year, right, didn't didn't play until
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: the senior year. Was kind of like that sixth offensive
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: lineman a little.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Bit in the what do you call it in the
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: mount West Championship game here in a couple.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Of days exactly and now exactly now he's gonna be
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: playing against Boise State in the Mountain West Championship game.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's crazy, you know. But he's a
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: kid that was about that size, you know, and in
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: high school, so you and this and Van Berkham's played
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: a lot more. So there's probably if he wants to,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: there could be someone out there that would take a
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: flyer on him and be like, I wonder what we
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: can do here, because you know, you get him working
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: right and the weight room and you can get him
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: up to like three p thirty, you know. I mean,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: that's and that's that would be something to work with.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: And I think a lot of coaches would be very intrigued.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I would uh six one two eighty
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: offensive line defensive line at number seventy six of Blake Holeman.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been talking about him forever. I mean, there
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: were moments, I want to say, in that state championship
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: run where he started a lot of games on that
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: offensive line. He not eveven. I think he might have
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: even started at center at one point. I think he's
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: played every single position on the offensive line at some point,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: I can't I'm trying to picture him playing. Every time
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: I picture him in my head at a spot, I'm like, yeah,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: I think I've seen him there. I swear he's played
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: all five positions. There was there were some injuries this year,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: so he was which I think it was his injury
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: that kind of started the Okay, we need to move
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: some things around here on the offensive line, and then
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: we need to kind of hold it until he comes back,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: and then maybe he'll need to move to this spot
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: and then we'll do this, and you know, so there
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: was all you know, it was kind of some jumbling
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: around in mid in mid season and it all got
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: settled and you got to play at the end of
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: the year as well, and was in on that, you know,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: the rotation of the big boy, the biggest boys on
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: the defensive line when they really needed to stop in
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the most crucial situations. Players played a ton of varsity football,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: and he's another one that's got some good size, you know,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: to play somewhere nine and a half tackles, a sack,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: two forced fumbles and a half tackle for loss. Big,
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: big body, super strong and you know, one of the
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: one of the better Linden football players when you're looking
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: over the past five ten years and you're looking at
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: like the big time football players. His name is way
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: up there.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Five ten, three hundred offensive line, defensive line number seventy eight,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: great number. Joe Jack Egan junior.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the first year football player. And had
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: a friend on the football team that talked him into playing.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: And he's like, hey, man, like it'd be cool to
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: have another friend that is playing on the team that
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I can hang with and stuff like that,
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: and and so he came out and just to be
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: a part of it. And it's you know, it's never
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: a bad thing to have a three hundred pound kid
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: on scout team, you know what I mean. And you know,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: because you just teams don't have that, and they they
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: had that and they were able to do that, and
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: he wanted to know what football was like. He got
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: a taste of it. And uh so that's a really
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: really cool deal. And Linden, Linden appreciate They love it
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: when these seniors come out for the first time and
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: want to be a part of something. And you know,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: some programs they won't give you the time of day.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Linden will be all about it. They will. They will,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: you know, shed so much light on it and they
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: will appreciate it and show you love. And and so
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: if you're you know, if you're thinking about playing football
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: and you go to Linden, you should do it because
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: you can learn a lot. It's so much positivity. It's
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of hard work, but you gained so much
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: out of it and going on just not for football
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: or athletics, but for life lessons and stuff like that.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: It's a wonderful thing to do.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll learn a lot about yourself too, you know,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: not just a lot about the game, that you learn
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: a lot about you because you're gonna have to. Yeah,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: six Tyler offensive line, defensive line, number ninety three, Logan
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: ray Berger.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: And he was the friend. He was a friend that
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: talked that talked Egan into playing. So it was it
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: was Logan's third year playing this senior year this year,
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: and you know, you play long enough in the program
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: and now you're going to start getting into that rotation.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: So he was. He was getting in there sometimes on
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: the defensive line. You know, wearing number ninety three, you're
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: probably not going to play offensive line too much, but
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: you know, played a lot more on the defensive line,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: special teams stuff like that. Did have a half of
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: a tackle and yeah, another big, big body on the
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Sky team, which is awesome to have and so really
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: really cool that he played and completed the season and
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: got to play all three years sophomore, jinior and senior year.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Six foot two, twenty five offensive line, defensive line number
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: fifty one. A guy that had himself quite the season.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Parker Williams.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in that same you know vane as Jade and
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: piez Uh. You know, as a kid that was not
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: on the top one hundred list and then his senior
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: year just goes off and then like as I'm mentally
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: having this list in my head, it's like, oh, he's
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: on the list this year. Oh he's way he's moving.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Oh he's he's passed. He's up into the fourth he
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: might be in the thirties. It's like he just keeps
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: moving up. Every every game I would watch, he's kept
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: moving up, kept moving up. And you know, I told
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: the story about him a couple of weeks ago about
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: how when the Linden was doing the sprints, they do
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: the lineman, then they do the skill guys, and the lineman,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: like he's way out ahead of everybody. It's like it's
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: not even fair, Like he's just he's he's in such
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: great shape and and so strong, and you could I don't.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: You can watch a game and you can sometimes I mean,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: people can have a love for the game and you
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: don't know it when you're watching it. But there are
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: some guys that you know it when you're watching it.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Like that guy loves playing football. And it's not like
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: he's overly boisterous or anything, but like he's the first
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: one down on kickoffs, making tackles, and he's working so
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: hard through double teams and making tackles, and it's like
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: and you'd get up and he'd just be so excited
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: and to you know, celebrate with his teammates and it's
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: just like, holy cow, this kid is unreal. He filled
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: in a little bit when Holman got hurt on the
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: offensive line, probably not what he was expecting to do.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I think he you know, he came up playing running back.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: That was his thing, and that's what Lyndon does. They'll say, oh,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: you're running back. Okay, here, this is defensive line, and
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: your coach will be Scott Notable and who used an
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: All state running back, but he coaches defensive line now,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: and this is what you do, and blah blah blah blah,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: and and they take these former running backs and then
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: make him into these awesome defensive linemen. And he is
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: one of the best I've seen. I mean there's been
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: there's been some good ones over the years, but he's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: definitely one of the better ones. It was an All
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Conference first team selection this year, which is that says
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: a lot because Lyndon defensive linemen are not asked to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: put up numbers. They're not made, they're not positioned to
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: put up numbers. And he put up huge numbers in
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: his career ninety six and a half tackles, eleven and
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: a half tackles for loss, a sack and two fumble recoveries.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many of those tackles came on kickoffs,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: but my goodness, he is just an animal out there,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: and he's a guy that you know, I really want
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: to look back and see if I even put him
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: on my all like my preseason All Conference team, because
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping I did, because I kind of had a
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: feeling a little bit. And now it's like if I'm
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: making my post season All conference team, like for the
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: whole county. He's first on line on defensive line. Baby,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: he is awesome. He was so good. Next up Tyler. Wow,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: we got two big names left here. Six four tight
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: end outside linebacker number eight Isaiah Audman. Yeah, heading to
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: Eastern Washington, I believe as a tight end, which will
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: be the the third and three years coming from Walking
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: County tight end that is even and uh wow, faster
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: than you think, much faster than you think. Mismatch problem
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: galore on the outside when they'd split him out, you know,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: they they do try to do a lot of isolation
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: with him on one side, trips on the other side
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: and kind of read what that what that would bring
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: with the defense. If you only got one guy on
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: on Isaiah Aldman, then you know, I think they like
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: their chances. But then he can come in and block
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: like a maniac. I mean he was, and then he'd
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: come in and be the Wildcat quarterback on certain plays,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: and he was a backup punter and one heck of
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: an edge player on the defense. I mean, he's just
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: you know, started started on that state championship team as
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: a sophomore at the tight end. I don't know the
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: number off the top of my head, but it's definitely
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: it might even be a number I can use just
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: one hand counting. But not many players in Walkom County
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: history have been three time All Conference first team as
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: a tight end. I just you know, there's just not
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: that many guys who have done it. And for him
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: to be named first team over Jack Severs is pretty impressive.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Had a huge year this year with over a thousand
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: yards receiving, you know, and he came out of the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: gate right off the bat with that big, big game
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: against Ferndale. I think it was like nine catches for
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: two hundred and eighteen yards or some crazy thing like that.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: His eighty yard catch kind of kind of got them
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: back into the game, like I said, just a mismatch problem.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do because it is speed, size,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: catch radius, everything. He's like he was like Gronk out there,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: but with more speed, you know. I mean, it was
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: so fun to watch him play and just to get
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: to know him too, and and just a tremendous defensive player.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, that can't be overstated. He was. He was great.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: But in his career seventy five catches one and forty
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: seven yards and seventeen touchdowns, twelve carries for forty three
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns coming from the Wildcat, did have
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: two punts where he averaged twenty seven yards. I think
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: it was that might have even come as sophomore year
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: as the as Troy Pets's backup. And then you know,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: so those those Canaan boys would come in and kind
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: of take that over. And then ninety three and a
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: half tackles in his career, thirteen tackles for loss, seven
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: and a half sacks, five passes defended, three forced fumbles,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: two interceptions that he returned for a total of eighteen yards. Yeah,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: one of the best, and glad that he's gonna keep playing.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: And another kid that helped out at the youth football
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: camp too, So uh just you know, just really really
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: cool and and uh, these you know, this is a
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: lot of these seniors. It's just it's it's you know,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: with him, it's tough because you know, he used to
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: play basketball. It doesn't anymore. And so I think this
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: is it. I don't know if I'm going to see
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: him at the high school level with anything again. And
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know unless I mean, if
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: he wants, if he turns out for baseball. I think
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: he used to play. I'm not quite sure if he
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: played last year. I don't think he did, so, uh,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: but it'd be great to root him on at Eastern
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: and I wish him all the best Tyler.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Unlike a presidential debate, all things on both size are
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: fact checked here. Yeah, Parker Williams second team defense preseason.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Boom called that one that I'm shocked because I I
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: was hoping I at least I just put him there.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd have a good year. Oh, I'm I'm
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: pumped about that. I'll tell you what.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: There's a couple other ones here that I'm looking at
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, you kind of got that one.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Too, Like, well, well, we'll talk about that at a
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: later date.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe we'll do it on like the the Awards or something,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, Yeah, there's some other
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: ones here that it's like, oh, you kind of hit
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: a home run on that one. Like I'm not sure
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: I saw that one coming, but uh, somehow.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: The one time I think I'm most proud of was
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: we were talking the preseason and I don't know if
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: I have him on there, I might, but like Elsie
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: coming into the year was kind of a mystery. They
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: have a lot of new starters, and I did say
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: something about the fun thing about Elsie is they're gonna
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: throw the ball a lot, and you're probably gonna see
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: a name in the box score that's gonna say like
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Robertson eight catches for one hundred and twenty yards, and
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be like, who's this. He ended up breaking
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: all the receiving records this year, and the only reason
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I brought him was because he looked awesome at the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: Week zero, the uh the Jamboree. I was like, Oh,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: it looks like that's who they're gonna go to, Okay,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: And so I just kind of had that in my
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: head and I know is and really good athletes and
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, So I just kind of thought he
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: might be the guy. And he had him here third
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: team offense. Yeah, and he had never caught a pass
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: in varsity. Yeah, you know, never even played it down
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: a varsity and I had him third team. Obviously ended
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: up being a first team guy, but you know.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just ridiculous though, Tyler, last one on the list.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot to talk about here and still
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: a lot to come from this guy. That will continue
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: to talk about him over the next few months. Uh
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: six six Only a quarterback though, That's it. I mean,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: he's just just a quarterback. I mean, everybody else over
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: here trying to play two sides of the ball, but
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: this guy here just a quarterback.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Number two. It's Brent Hepner. He went out and played
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit of safety there late in one of
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: the games when they were like defending like a hail Mary.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Well then you left him off Tyler, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Did he ever do like one of those quarterback punts
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, I don't know he
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: never did.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I was gonna say, you will you would have
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: left that one off to a right, Yeah, Wow. Brent Hepner, Okay,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: wants to win at everything. Uh, we'll do everything it takes.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: We'll practice the extra time, all that stuff. But when
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: your best players like and your is your best leader
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: who happens to be your hardest worker, and all those
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: things combined, that's when you get Brent Hepner. My goodness.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah. Four state championships. People say five, but I
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: mean he was suited up as freshman year for football,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: but he didn't see the field. So you know, however
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: you want to put that, I mean, it's it is
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: what it is the way I would say it, Tyler,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: and this is this is just me. Yeah. Was he
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: on the varsity roster all year? No? Then there there
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: you have it. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, they bring up
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: they rarely have a freshman on the first year roster ever,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: and so so well they bring up everybody, and then
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: they bring up everybody at the end. Yeah. So but
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: in sophomore year, you know, there was talk there was like, Okay,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: we have a senior quarterback who's coming off of state championship,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: but we're going to work in this sophomore and which
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: I had heard a lot about. Uh, you know, the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: last name Heppner. I mean, it's you go back to
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: his grandpa, who, you know, when Linden was winning their
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: very first state basketball titles in the early sixties. You know,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: he was two times state champion, you know, all two
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: time All state basketball player. And so there's there's not
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: that there's even just tradition, but there's like almost like
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: this like this is what we expect type thing. And
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: and his dad, you know, I played against his dad
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: in football and he was he was my age and
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: and he was just a really good tight end. And
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you know, here he is,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: and he's six ' five as a sophomore, and and
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, six five is a sophomore. The first
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: thing you kind of think of is is he's kind
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: of gangly? Is he is? It? Does he really like
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: is the throw like a long wind up? You know,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: because I'm just looking at a roster, I'm not watching him.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: And then I I go out to practice and I
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: see him, and I'm like, holy cow, like it's natural.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Like it's not it's not gangly. It's not a long
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: wind up. It's it's he looks like a quarterback. He
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: just looks like a man that you know, he looks
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: like a bro with all these high school kids, just
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: because he's so big and so tall and got such
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: a strong arm. And and then I got to know
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: him and talk to him, and he's super personable and
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: he's and you know, it was so cool because he
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: would get these little runs. I mean, I remember that
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: week went against Ferndale, he got in for like a
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: possession and frankly didn't look great. You know. It was mean,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: He's going against the Jake Masons and Lannon Hatchets and
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: and Isaiah Carlson's and it's in Connor Walker and it's
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: it's rough, you know. But as the season wore on
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: and he would get his chances to come in and
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: he would just get better and better. And he would
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: just every single week would get better and better. And
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: he started running a little bit more and started getting
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: more comfortable, and and all of a sudden, when the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: playoffs hit, when he would come in, they would just
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: be better. And it was just crazy. And instead of
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: going back and forth, they would have to, you know, say, okay,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's him, like like you know the other
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: the others. The senior quarterback is going to start. But
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: he's when he comes in and if he does well,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: we're just going to write him. And because Cayden was
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: playing defense, he was doing other things too, so he
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: was he was returning kicks, so you're still able to
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: get you know, stuff out of him as well. But
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: they just kept, you know, riding Heppner and and you know,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: it was the year after they won when they know,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: when it was Kate Slayton, you know, three yards as
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: a cloud of dust and stuff like that, and and
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: so this was a little different and he could still
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: do that. But that drive that he had his sophomore
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: year to win the state title was was just It's
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: the stuff that people are going to remember for a
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: long time. I mean, there was the diving catch by
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Cooper Moore, and Cooper Moore was not Cooper Moore yet
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: when he made that catch that was like his fourth
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: or fifth catch of the year. That was a huge
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: play deep in their own territory. And then there were
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: i think three times where it was fourth down and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: they went for it, and all three times it was
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Heppner to Isaiah Stanley for a first down where they
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: just kind of knew exactly what to do. And then
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: Stanley had another amazing catch to get him down to
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: the one, and then Hepner ran it in and there's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: you know, there's YouTube videos of you know, King five
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: interviewing Heppner after the game and he's in tears because
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: he can't believe that he just won state title. And
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: I think a lot was put on him after that
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: because he was a part of the state title basketball
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: team as a freshman, where he did play a lot,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: and so it became this thing where it's like, oh,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: so if you're playing, we're just gonna win state titles now.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: And every year they've won it in basketball, and he's
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: playing his senior year now with a lot of new
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: guys and we'll see how he does. But in football,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's gone to the quarterfinals and that's been
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: it the last couple of years, and so it's been
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: a disappointment probably to him. But and I did talk
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: to him. I went out to practice to take headshots
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: of the Linen basketball players and he came up to
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: me and we talked a little bit, and you know,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: he was kind of like, so, this is it, right,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: there's no more football. I said, well, there'll be podcasts.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: We'll say goodbye to the seniors when we'll do the
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: top one hundred list and then there'll be the awards
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: and it'll it'll drag out a little bit, you know,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: And he was you could tell he was still missing it.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't even a week removed from playing
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: his final football game, which he will be the first
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: to say was not his best game. And and I
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: just but I just told him that, I go, you know,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: you look, you look ten twenty years from now, and
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be like that was awesome, Like that was
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: it was. It was amazing what he did. And I
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: was trying to kind of ring that to him, and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: I think he's been being told that a lot, and
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but he he is truly
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: one of the best, and you know, probably a top
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: ten quarterback in Walkin County history. And the stats pretty
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: much bear it out as well. You know, you could
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: be a big time stat guy and not be one
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks. You just you know, you can
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: just rack up numbers, but you know, he has the title.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: He's led them to multiple conference championships and different things
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: like that, so I mean, it's it's pretty impressive. He
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: was named the offensive Player of the Year for the conference,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, says a lot when there's the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Beaner Twins and Andre Watson and that's a big time
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: conference with some major guys. And he was named the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: offensive player of the year for that two way conference
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: for the Northwest Conference, which is, you know, I don't
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: care who you are, it's the toughest up and down
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: conference in the state for two A.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: And you might finished with the toughest regardless. Like I
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: could throw an argument that it's the toughest regardless of classification.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: I really could. It's it's it's crazy just how many
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: good teams there are. And a lot of different rankings showed,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: you know, six of you know, the top or four
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: of the top six teams at one time, or four
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: out of the top eight, you know, or three out
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: of the top four one time, and it's the sec. Yeah,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: it's the SEC of the two way and and and
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: and four of them got to the to the quarters.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: So which is pretty cool until shut out. And it
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: really showed that the round of thirty two is right,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the right thing to do. And and uh,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, you get your best sixteen in and that's
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: that's what makes it great.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Really quickly, not to go completely off topic here, Yeah,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: the state championships. Yeah, one two right, one versus two
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: and every single one except for two B it's one
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: versus three. How about that?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy. It's pretty cool. Yeah, and uh yeah.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: In his career three hundred and twenty eight at a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty passing for five thy five hundred
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: twenty one yards and fifty four touchdowns. He also ran
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: the ball two hundred and seventy six times for one
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: and sixteen yards and twenty seven more touchdowns. So you're
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: talking when you're talking eighty one career touchdowns that he
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: was involved in. Yeah, that's that's putting your mark. Uh,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: you know in Walkham County. And I hope that in
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: twenty five years there'll be another six six Sepner coming
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: around and and uh I'll be able to cover him too,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: because that's that's what makes what I do so cool
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: is kids like him. I mean, when I went to
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: the Eastern camp with Nuksack Knucksack, Valley invited me, I
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I stayed with the team, I you know,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: but I but they said during camp you can walk
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: around you can do whatever, you know, And I was
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: like great, and Linden was there and Lynden Christian was there,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: and I was kind of watching them as well. And
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: even though I was with the Knucksack team, like when
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: the Linden players would walk by, there was only two
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: players that would come up to me and shake my
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: hand and say, hey, you're here. This is really cool.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: One was West and Van Dalen and the other was
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Bran Hepner. And and what's funny is that, you know,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: coaches said that the two they say, he said at
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: the the end of the year banquet last year and
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: this is last year. This isn't this year, this is
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: last year. They said there were two people that watched
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: more film than anybody on the team, and and he
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: said it was Western Van Dalen and Brent Hepner, which
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: was like the quarterback of the defense, the quarterback of
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: the offense. And I love that they can track that
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: with huddle and they can see who's watching the most film.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: He did kind of joke and say, we're not counting you, Tyler,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: because I think my numbers were probably ridiculous on everybody's suttle.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, every week I'm hours upon you know,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: beyond everybody else.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't I don't think I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: can view that for what I have because I'm not
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: a coach, ye to be on the coach the side
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: of things, right, But it's it just shows like the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: work that he puts in and everything. I mean, it's
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love, you know, Lucas Logy coming in
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna do a really good job, but it's
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be different, you know. And and I think they
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: I think Lucas is gonna have a lot of guys
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: around him and they're going to be a force to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: be reckoned with. He's a different kind of quarterback. Yeah,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: but but Brent Heppner was special and just to be
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: able to see him in person, whether it was at
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: practice or on the sideline, was just really really cool deal.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I've only witnessed three I'm trying to think
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: that I've only witnessed three state championship football games in
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: my life, and they're all Walking County obviously, and and
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: teams have gone one and two in those games for
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Walking County. The one win was when Brant won that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: on the drive. So that's it just holds a special
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: place for me, and I know that he knows what
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: I think about him, and and yeah, he's he's a
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: big time he's a big time player. I'm excited run
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: up and down the court with him for basketball. I'm
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: taking pictures and get to see him compete one more time.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: I was looking at it today Tyler on Facebook Memories.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: It was a I'm trying to find it now really quickly. Here, Oh,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: where is it? Here it is. I posted a picture
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: of the Tacoma Dome. Here it is right here. Friday
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: night doubleheader of the Tacomadome. Aw My Racoolee Heartline and
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: Sunnyside about to get underway, followed by Oday and Rainier
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Beach December one, twenty seventeen. Scroll down to the comments.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: First when I see Tyler Anderson life goals and I said,
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: then I comment and said one year ago today, now
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: later today, And you said, don't make me cry.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it was a huge deal that
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: next year when I actually got to see a game. Yeah,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: and yeah it was. That was the last year with
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: the Tacomoo. Yeah, twenty eighteen. I was so tired. I remember, like,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: because my work scheduling stuff, I was on like two
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: or three hours sleep, and that was the whole Taco.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Ma and actually all that Tyler, that was whatever it
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: would be six years ago today, because I'm looking at
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: that and I have it right here, final day of
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: high school football in twenty eighteen, Colville Newport, Hawkinson Linden
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: right there, Bam.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it popped up on my memories too.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: I was like I was like, I'm finally here or
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: something like that, and got a picture with Edwin Bailey,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: which was awesome. It was just it was what a
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: fun day. I mean. And having to interview Blake Van
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: Dalen after that game live on the air was a
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: challenge because you know, it's like when you watch those
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: championships and on TV and then there's all the celebration everything,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: and then and then it shows like you know, like
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: Jim Greg and he's like, okay, so I'm standing outside
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: the locker room. Yeah, you know, it's like, oh, like
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: that's so tough. And I was like thinking, oh man,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: and it's in my ear and we're coming back and
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: here we go, and and I'm like, ah, that was
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: just so.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: The way I did media, you know, like I didn't.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: It was so like we didn't do game reports, we
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: do all that stuff. I was able to just enjoy
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: the games almost as a fan of the times. Yeah,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: and then a lot, but I now kind of yeah,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: Well what I would do is I would go down
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: to the field after a game and I would shake
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: the coach's hands, and the winning the losing coach, I
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: would go find him first, you know, State championship.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: I still do this.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: I'll go down and I'll find the losing coach and
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: I'll just say, hey, i'll give you a call this week,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: and they go, cool, we'll see it. And then the
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: you know, the winning one, I'll go over, hey, congratulations,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: you know, excited for you guys. You know, don't talk
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: to them for thirty seconds and then let them, you know,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: go do their thing. But yeah, man, I hated talking
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: to people that had just lost the state championship game,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's so hard and the kids, the
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: kids are always crying, always crying, you know what I mean.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: And so it's like, well, I don't want to talk
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: to these guys. Yeah, you know, the last thing they
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: want to do right now is talk to me. So
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, but that was that's why I like,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably part of why I didn't do
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: game reports and stuff, you know, but it's totally different
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: for you know, the way that even the way you
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: do things still to this day, like if you were
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: on the you know, at a state championship game, it's
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: it's a good thing to get a couple of coaches
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: quotes to add to the stories and stuff. So yeah, yeah, Tyler,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: anything else, well, just.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: That it was. It was a it was a rare
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: small class for Lindon, and it was kind of the
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: one that people saw in the making. I mean, I
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: mean I've been the last few banquets. I think I've
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: been to the last three. So I saw these kids
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: when they were freshmen at the banquet, and every year
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: they'd bring up they really go scene, they really focus
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: on the seniors at the banquet. They hardly talk about
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: anybody like they they'll bring up the class and be like, Okay,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: we expect a lot of you next year. I go
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: sit down and so. But when they but they always
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: bring up the class and it'd be just shoulder to shoulder,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: like the whole length of the area, you know. But
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: this class was always really small. It just didn't have
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: that many kids and so you know, it just kind
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: of is what it is. Obviously some big time talent
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: in it, but you know, it's some big classes coming up,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: so it'll be kind of what you expect a little
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: bit more from Lyndon going forward.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: That's it. I guess we're done. Yeah, that's it all
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: righty Well, next up is what have we got? Next
• 1:22:41
