0:34
Speaker 1: on the basketball court, just a junior as well. Scored
0:38
Speaker 1: twenty points in that game at Anna Chordis earlier in
0:42
Speaker 1: the week. They're able to run away with that victory's
0:47
Speaker 1: I think she scored thirteen of the twenty in the

Speaker 1: fourth quarter when that was when the big push was
0:51
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. So thank you very
0:54
Speaker 1: much Kate for the intro. Also, you got to give

Speaker 1: a shout out to Walton Beverage. I can't tell all
0:59
Speaker 1: of you how blessed and thankful I am for a
1:01
Speaker 1: company like Walton Beverage, who's been a staple in our

1:18

Speaker 1: have an opportunity to compete in athletics. Go to nwofficials
1:29
Speaker 1: dot com to learn more. All right, well, I am back.
1:35
Speaker 1: The coldest start is pretty much gone away. Of course,
1:38
Speaker 1: I start talking now and I start coughing, So we'll
1:41
Speaker 1: get through this the best we can. The last few
1:43
Speaker 1: episodes have been pretty short because I haven't been feeling
1:46
Speaker 1: well and just trying to get through them, get information out,
1:48
Speaker 1: and we try to delve into things a little bit deeper.
1:51
Speaker 1: In this episode, we're gonna start off with girls wrestling,
1:55
Speaker 1: and I kind of have a new thing here because
1:57
Speaker 1: I've been able to tabulate all the wins and loss
2:00
Speaker 1: at each weight class and stuff like that, so I
2:02
Speaker 1: kind of want to bring it up that way. There's
2:04
Speaker 1: been a lot of tournaments and stuff during the holidays
2:07
Speaker 1: that wrestlers have been competing in But for girls wrestling,
2:10
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the weight classes and kind of
2:11
Speaker 1: give you the top wrestlers at each weight class. So
2:14
Speaker 1: at one hundred pounds right now, Emily Moa of Mount
2:16
Speaker 1: Baker is leading the way. She has nine wins and
2:20
Speaker 1: seven losses on the year. Not a lot of wrestlers
2:23
Speaker 1: at that weight class. Of course, these are wins in
2:25
Speaker 1: lots the wins do not count fourfoit wins, and usually
2:29
Speaker 1: at least especially the lower weight classes, you do get
2:32
Speaker 1: a lot of four foot wins. So this is just
2:34
Speaker 1: matches that you've wrestled. A Faith White of Squalcum is
2:38
Speaker 1: three and three, Natalie Brewed of Ferndale is one in
2:40
Speaker 1: four at one hundred and five pounds. Leading the way
2:43
Speaker 1: is Kira O'Reilly who of Blaine, who has a record
2:47
Speaker 1: of eleven and seven. Right behind her, Arabella rose Boom
2:51
Speaker 1: of Mount Baker is nine and six at one hundred
2:53
Speaker 1: and ten pounds. All the wrestlers are sub five hundred
2:57
Speaker 1: right now, but there's a lot of rustlers that have
2:58
Speaker 1: a handful of wins. Ridgard Jacobe of Mount Baker's four
3:01
Speaker 1: and five, Arianna Lockhart of Blaine is three and four.
3:04
Speaker 1: Camber Schroder Meridian is five and eight. Fiona George of
3:08
Speaker 1: Squalkoum and Neveah Taylor Blaine each have three wins on
3:11
Speaker 1: the year, so there will be some improvement there. I
3:14
Speaker 1: would imagine at one hundred and fifteen pounds. Elliott Cooning
3:17
Speaker 1: of Mount Baker is ten and five. I have Charlie
3:21
Speaker 1: Egger f Sehome at three and two, but I'm missing
3:23
Speaker 1: a few Sea Home meets, so probably has wrestled a
3:27
Speaker 1: lot more than that. But again this is just from
3:29
Speaker 1: the info that I have. At one hundred and twenty pounds.
3:32
Speaker 1: Carolyn Cook of Mount Baker seventeen wins and just six
3:36
Speaker 1: losses on the year, but a great year she's having.
3:38
Speaker 1: Priasanga of Meridian has dropped down to one hundred and
3:40
Speaker 1: twenty pounds. She is at eight and six right now
3:43
Speaker 1: on the season at one hundred and twenty five pounds.
3:46
Speaker 1: Yoretzi Nava Gonzalez of Lynden twenty wins to just five losses,
3:51
Speaker 1: leading the way there. Kelly Camacho of Mount Baker twelve
3:53
Speaker 1: and seven. Julianne Wally of Blaine has nine wins on
3:57
Speaker 1: the year two so she's doing quite well. Elizabeth Cox
4:00
Speaker 1: of Ferndale has five wins at one hundred and thirty pounds.
4:04
Speaker 1: Claire Hume of Squalkum undefeated at twelve and zero from
4:07
Speaker 1: the record that I have, pretty impressive there. Rebecca Anders
4:11
Speaker 1: of Ferndale has seven wins at one hundred and thirty
4:14
Speaker 1: five pounds. Macy Miller of Lyndon leading the way with
4:17
Speaker 1: a nine and three record. Abby Gail Gonzalez of Blaine
4:20
Speaker 1: is seven and five. Chloe Kramer close behind with six
4:23
Speaker 1: wins herself at one hundred and forty pounds. Chloe Gandy,
4:26
Speaker 1: one of the top profsslers in Wakam County, of Ferndale
4:29
Speaker 1: as a win lost record of seventeen and four, and
4:33
Speaker 1: Alina Ramanuke of Mount Baker is seven and four. Kennedy
4:37
Speaker 1: Medley of Ferndale is eight and eight at one hundred
4:40
Speaker 1: and forty five pounds. Not a lot of matches here.
4:44
Speaker 1: Evelyn Nagoless of Ferndale's five and eight. Gabby Barsino has
4:48
Speaker 1: a couple wins. Chanelle bill Kinley of Ferndale has three wins,
4:51
Speaker 1: Andrew Cruz has a couple of wins. It's just one
4:54
Speaker 1: of those weight classes where not a lot of matches
4:56
Speaker 1: have been happening at one hundred and fifty five pounds,
5:00
Speaker 1: A lot of wrestlers right there at about five hundred
5:02
Speaker 1: or a little bit better. Stephanie Camacho is nine and six.
5:06
Speaker 1: Tavia Alexander or Stephanie Camacho Mount Bakers should say Tavia
5:10
Speaker 1: Alexander of Meridian is ten and nine. Will and McLear
5:13
Speaker 1: of belling Him is five and five on the year
5:16
Speaker 1: at one hundred and seventy pounds. Ela Joe Klander Blaine
5:19
Speaker 1: is five and seven. Aspen Williams of Meridian has three
5:22
Speaker 1: wins at one hundred and ninety pounds. Gretchen Zanstra of
5:25
Speaker 1: Meridian is fifteen and five by far and away the
5:29
Speaker 1: standout at one hundred and ninety pounds, and girls wrestling
5:32
Speaker 1: locally and at two hundred and thirty five pounds. Mina
5:34
Speaker 1: Azam of a Knucksack Valley is leading the way with
5:38
Speaker 1: four wins and two losses. Again, I'm missing some Nuxack
5:41
Speaker 1: Valley matches, so it probably has more wins than that.
5:45
Speaker 1: So those are your leaders and girls wrestling. I think
5:48
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a different way to look
5:49
Speaker 1: at it, especially once we get into the postseason. You
5:51
Speaker 1: kind of see who the favorites are going to be
5:53
Speaker 1: at each weight class as we dial into that, as
5:56
Speaker 1: we head into the next few weeks. In boys wrestling,
6:00
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the same thing. A lot of wrestling
6:03
Speaker 1: took place during Christmas break, so I just got done
6:07
Speaker 1: updating all the wins and losses. So if you do,
6:09
Speaker 1: if you want to go to wakmpreps dot com and
6:11
Speaker 1: see these, you can go there and just and there's
6:16
Speaker 1: a little tab that has kind of the I don't know,
6:19
Speaker 1: I don't even know what you want to call it,
6:20
Speaker 1: like the menu, and there's a thing for boys wrestling
6:25
Speaker 1: individual win loss records and girls wrestling individual win loss records.
6:29
Speaker 1: You click on that. It's all updated through January fourth.
6:31
Speaker 1: You can check it out. So for boys wrestling at
6:34
Speaker 1: one hundred and six pounds, we got a two standouts
6:37
Speaker 1: here at the top of Bryant Rozzo of Bellingham is
6:40
Speaker 1: eleven and four and Knox Bryner of Blaine is fourteen
6:43
Speaker 1: and six, so they both have a winning percentage of
6:45
Speaker 1: seventy percent or better. Kellen Scott right there Lindon with
6:49
Speaker 1: a record of five and seven at one hundred and
6:53
Speaker 1: thirteen pounds. Got a handful of wrestlers here. Matthew Hall
6:58
Speaker 1: of Seahome at six and two, Cleong of Squalkm's four
7:01
Speaker 1: and three. Simon Gonzalez McKay i Bellingham is also four
7:04
Speaker 1: and three. Miguel and Nagallis of Ferndale is eight and
7:07
Speaker 1: eight at one hundred and twenty pounds. Cold Voight of
7:10
Speaker 1: Blaine eighteen and three. On the year, been dominating, as
7:15
Speaker 1: you know we would expect. He's been great the last
7:17
Speaker 1: few years. Jacob McCarty of Bellingham is fourteen and five.
7:20
Speaker 1: Henry Brown of Mount Baker is fourteen and nine. Those
7:23
Speaker 1: are your top presslers at one hundred and twenty pounds,
7:25
Speaker 1: at one hundred and twenty six pounds. And again this
7:29
Speaker 1: is tricky because I got some wrestlers that have higher
7:31
Speaker 1: percentages that haven't wrestled as many matches. So Edward Reyes
7:35
Speaker 1: of Ferndale I have him at five and one, so
7:37
Speaker 1: he's got the best winning percentage. But he got Alicio
7:40
Speaker 1: Ortiz Lopez of Lyndon who's fifteen and five. Alejandro Rodriguez
7:44
Speaker 1: Tudon of Squalkam is twelve and nine. James Button of
7:47
Speaker 1: Bellingham is eleven and eleven. Trason Lewis Kelly of Meridian
7:51
Speaker 1: is fantastic. He's eight and three. Vinisaiah of Blaine is
7:54
Speaker 1: nine and two. They got a lot of really good
7:57
Speaker 1: wrestlers here at one hundred and twenty six pounds one
8:00
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two pounds. Andrew Monteeth a Mount Baker,
8:03
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's gotten down to one hundred and
8:04
Speaker 1: thirty two pounds. He is a brick of solid muscle.
8:09
Speaker 1: I guess it helps when you're five to three, but still,
8:11
Speaker 1: he's nineteen and one on the year, having a fantastic year.
8:15
Speaker 1: Aiden Hancock has already wrestled thirty matches. Aiden Hancock of
8:19
Speaker 1: Blaine he is twenty three and seven on the year.
8:22
Speaker 1: I don't know if these two have wrestled each other yet.
8:24
Speaker 1: They may have wrestled at a tournament, but that'd be
8:28
Speaker 1: a great one. Aiden Rodriguez of Lynnen is fifteen and
8:31
Speaker 1: twelve as well. Hayden Bloom of Ferndale has wrestled sixteen matches.
8:35
Speaker 1: He is seven and nine. Maddix Wolven of meridanus six
8:38
Speaker 1: and seven, So he got some pretty tough dudes right there.
8:41
Speaker 1: At one hundred and thirty two pounds at one hundred
8:43
Speaker 1: and thirty eight pounds, Brennan Ferrell Garcia of Squalkhim is
8:47
Speaker 1: twenty and two, just getting down now to one thirty eight,
8:50
Speaker 1: where his teammate Garren Garrett Stimpson is sixteen and five.
8:54
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how great that is at practice, those
8:56
Speaker 1: two wrestling each other. Writer Abbot of Ferndale is fourteen
8:59
Speaker 1: and five. I have Matt Campion of Blaine is twelve
9:02
Speaker 1: and seven. Damien Cruz of Sealim is eight and four.
9:05
Speaker 1: So you got some again, A lot of talent here
9:08
Speaker 1: at the one hundred and thirty eight pounds. At one hundred
9:10
Speaker 1: and forty four pounds, Mount Baker's Gavin Compton is leading
9:12
Speaker 1: the way with a sixteen and one record. Miguel Lopez
9:16
Speaker 1: of Linden is nineteen and three, recently coming down from
9:19
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty pounds. Aiden Porcherit of Bellingham is
9:22
Speaker 1: sixteen and nine, Mason Philippini of Ferndale is fourteen and eight,
9:26
Speaker 1: and Cole Christensen of Mount Baker's twelve and seven. Wyatt
9:29
Speaker 1: Leuenberger Meridian nine and six. So you got you got?
9:33
Speaker 1: What is that? One? Two, three, four, five, six wrestlers
9:36
Speaker 1: that have a winning percentage of over sixty percent, so
9:39
Speaker 1: another very competitive weight class there. At one hundred and
9:42
Speaker 1: fifty pounds, Carson Siadal of Meridian is three and one
9:45
Speaker 1: on the year, Thane Hines of Squalkum nineteen and seven,
9:50
Speaker 1: Spencer Hamilton of Ferndale is fourteen and six, Ivan Garcia
9:54
Speaker 1: is a Pot of Linden is nine and nine and
9:56
Speaker 1: his teammate Grady Van Dalen is six and six, so
9:59
Speaker 1: a couple of Linden guys for a five hundred record there.
10:01
Speaker 1: At one hundred and fifty seven pounds, Lyndon's Trig Jorgensen
10:05
Speaker 1: has the best winning percentage with a fifteen and three record.
10:09
Speaker 1: Darren Nielsen of Squalkum is seventeen and four, so they're
10:12
Speaker 1: right there, and then Colin mcivern of Seaholm is seven
10:15
Speaker 1: and two and Henry Tobin of Mount Baker is thirteen
10:17
Speaker 1: and four, so four guys that win over three quarters
10:21
Speaker 1: of their matches, so that's very very top heavy with
10:24
Speaker 1: some big time talent at one hundred and fifty seven pounds.
10:27
Speaker 1: At one hundred and sixty five pounds, Joe Jordan of
10:29
Speaker 1: Mount Baker leading the way with twenty wins on just
10:32
Speaker 1: four losses. Ryu Robison of Linden is twelve and three,
10:36
Speaker 1: say Hu Kanaji of Blaine is twelve and six, Henry
10:38
Speaker 1: Enfield of Linden is fourteen and eight at one hundred
10:42
Speaker 1: and seventy five pounds, Rees Milligan of Blaine fifteen and
10:45
Speaker 1: five on the year a couple of wrestlers at five
10:47
Speaker 1: hundred with Aiden Holmes of Seahome and Nate Bennett of
10:50
Speaker 1: Ferndale at one hundred and ninety pounds. Owen Cunningham of
10:54
Speaker 1: Knuksack Valley is six and one. Again, I don't have
10:57
Speaker 1: all Knucksacks matches, so it could be a little miss leading.
11:00
Speaker 1: Gunner McGrath of Mount Baker's eight and two, Sonny Powell
11:03
Speaker 1: of Bellingham is thirteen and four, Sawyer Strunk of Meridian
11:07
Speaker 1: as eleven and seven, O'Ryan Dixon of Ferndale's thirteen and nine,
11:10
Speaker 1: and Hugo veck Bed of Blaine as sixteen and thirteen.
11:14
Speaker 1: When you look at McGrath and Powell and Strunk and
11:17
Speaker 1: Dixon and vec Bed, these are all they are all.
11:19
Speaker 1: They're all football players too, so which doesn't surprise me.
11:22
Speaker 1: At one hundred ninety pounds At two hundred and fifteen pounds,
11:26
Speaker 1: Rhett Dirsh had no surprise there, leading the way with
11:29
Speaker 1: fourteen winsdom one loss. That's a ninety three percent winning
11:33
Speaker 1: percentage there. Silas Maple of Mount Baker is thirteen and five,
11:37
Speaker 1: Julian Montoya of Bellingham is nine and five. Weston Scott
11:40
Speaker 1: of Lindon is four and five, and at two hundred
11:43
Speaker 1: and eighty five pounds, you got a couple of Blaine
11:45
Speaker 1: wrestlers that are leading the way. Two of them, Avery
11:48
Speaker 1: Hicks is sixteen and seven, Samuel Green is nine and four.
11:52
Speaker 1: Right behind them is Brayden Arps of Ferndale who's fifteen
11:54
Speaker 1: and seven. Eric Antonio of Lyndon is ten and five,
11:58
Speaker 1: Isaac Lowry of Squalicum is and nine. So again, that's
12:02
Speaker 1: kind of a different way of looking at all the
12:04
Speaker 1: weight classes. I'm going to try to continue doing this
12:06
Speaker 1: as we look ahead and especially when we look to
12:09
Speaker 1: the postseason, of kind of who will be the uh,
12:11
Speaker 1: you know, the main athletes to look for in each
12:14
Speaker 1: weight class and and who has the best chance to
12:17
Speaker 1: bring home some gold. I think, you know, when you
12:20
Speaker 1: look at it as a whole, I think Claire Hume
12:21
Speaker 1: of Squalicum is probably the favorite. If you had to
12:25
Speaker 1: just pick one wrestler and walkin county to to bring
12:28
Speaker 1: home a championship, you I would probably go to her.
12:32
Speaker 1: But there's some there's some guys too on the on
12:34
Speaker 1: the on the boys side that are pretty good at
12:36
Speaker 1: Andrew Monteeth nineteen one on the year, that's pretty darn good.
12:40
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see. It's a We've done well
12:45
Speaker 1: at the state tournament, but we haven't brought home a
12:47
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of big time trophies in the
12:49
Speaker 1: last few years. So hopefully we'll be able to do
12:51
Speaker 1: that at the Matt Classic at the Tacoma Dome in
12:54
Speaker 1: mid February. So this is where the part where I
12:57
Speaker 1: usually talk about boys swimming and diving, and when we do,
13:00
Speaker 1: we always have to talk about Stofford Insurance. Check them
13:02
Speaker 1: out at nineteen oh three Front Street in Linden or
13:05
Speaker 1: give them a call three six zero seven four six
13:07
Speaker 1: eighty eight zero three. And there hasn't been swimming last
13:11
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They took Christmas break off completely. They
13:13
Speaker 1: will be back next week and at the end of
13:15
Speaker 1: the program here I will talk about which events will
13:18
Speaker 1: be the big ones to go to. There's one big
13:21
Speaker 1: one that I will probably be at that'll be on
13:23
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon, and we will get to that soon. But
13:26
Speaker 1: there wasn't any rest. There wasn't any boys swimming and diving,
13:29
Speaker 1: so we will skip over and go straight to girls basketball.
13:33
Speaker 1: The nightly scoreboards are brought to you by Editling Dairy
13:35
Speaker 1: from satisfied cows to satisfied customers. Edling Darry is my
13:39
Speaker 1: favorite place in Walkham County to get a cold treat,
13:41
Speaker 1: and you can check them out at any of their
13:43
Speaker 1: five stores, two in Linden one and Blaine one in
13:46
Speaker 1: Sue Mass And of course they'll win in Ferndale, where
13:48
Speaker 1: I find myself the most often. Let's look at the standings.
13:52
Speaker 1: Right now, Linden is ten and zero on the year,
13:56
Speaker 1: and this is this is just overall standings. I'm not
13:58
Speaker 1: looking at league standings and looking at Walkin County teams,
14:01
Speaker 1: but Lynnon, like I said, ten and zero on the year,
14:05
Speaker 1: riding that win streak at fifty seven straight wins. Now
14:08
Speaker 1: this goes back. Boy, it's over two full years now,
14:13
Speaker 1: because it was December of twenty twenty three last time
14:18
Speaker 1: they lost a game. So averaging sixty seven points per game,
14:21
Speaker 1: allowing just twenty five, so a forty two point differential
14:25
Speaker 1: for them. You know, we all know how great Finley
14:29
Speaker 1: Parture is and Peyton Mills, but Lexi Hermanutz is really
14:32
Speaker 1: starting to elevate her game as well, which is I
14:37
Speaker 1: kind of you can kind of see that coming. I mean,
14:39
Speaker 1: playing even quite a bit as a freshman. So she's
14:44
Speaker 1: one of those players that if she was on a
14:45
Speaker 1: different team, she would be the key player for sure.
14:49
Speaker 1: But boy, it's such a you know, she's just so
14:52
Speaker 1: dynamic and being you know, five nine, five to ten
14:55
Speaker 1: playing point guard and she's she's playing defense on the perimeter.
14:58
Speaker 1: She but gets a lot of blocks on shots from
15:01
Speaker 1: the outside, which is fantastic to see. Lenny Krishner right now,
15:05
Speaker 1: ten and one on the year, they're riding a three
15:09
Speaker 1: game winning streak at the moment, the average fifty nine
15:11
Speaker 1: points a game allowed just forty. And you know, I
15:15
Speaker 1: heard some people talking about this was supposed to be
15:18
Speaker 1: a rebuilding year, rebuild year for them, where I kind
15:22
Speaker 1: of see where they're getting at. You know, there's a
15:23
Speaker 1: lot of players from last year's team that aren't there now,
15:26
Speaker 1: but boy, you still have Ella Fritz and Tyradikstra and
15:30
Speaker 1: Jocelynes Ice has really come along as their main post player.
15:34
Speaker 1: Jess de Young as a freshman coming off the bench,
15:36
Speaker 1: provides great size in the middle and rebounding offensive rebounding,
15:42
Speaker 1: which has been great to see. Estella Hernandez was out
15:44
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but she's back now. She played
15:46
Speaker 1: in the last game, which is good to see. I
15:48
Speaker 1: don't know the circumstances there, if it was an injury
15:51
Speaker 1: or what it was, but really good to see her
15:53
Speaker 1: back in the lineup. Grace Russell has been great. Ellie
15:58
Speaker 1: Pierce is so dynam and so underrated, does all the
16:02
Speaker 1: little things and so I see them doing quite well.
16:06
Speaker 1: I didn't really come into the year thinking they would
16:08
Speaker 1: be having a rebuild year. And it's Lyndon Christian Girls
16:12
Speaker 1: for crying out loud. I mean, they just they don't
16:14
Speaker 1: have rebuild years. They have reload years. Let me Nation
16:18
Speaker 1: nine and one. Right now in the year, they're on
16:20
Speaker 1: an eight game winning streak. They won that tournament, the
16:23
Speaker 1: Trojan Storm Winter Classic out at Meridian High School, which
16:26
Speaker 1: was great for them playing all these schools that are
16:29
Speaker 1: much bigger than them. Boy, they just get after it.
16:31
Speaker 1: They are so fun to watch, you know, Jemma James
16:35
Speaker 1: and Alena Raebang and Jordan Reeder as It's it's quite
16:40
Speaker 1: a sight to see Briandon Matiba had a really really
16:44
Speaker 1: good tournament, which was awesome to see. And boy they
16:48
Speaker 1: have they just have so many weapons that I you know,
16:52
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk about the boys team and
16:54
Speaker 1: for good reason, but the elimination girls, I really really
16:57
Speaker 1: think they are on track. They have the best season
16:59
Speaker 1: in school history, so I'm excited to see what they do.
17:03
Speaker 1: And now they're gonna go back into conference play where
17:06
Speaker 1: they just demolish everybody, it seems like, so they're gonna
17:10
Speaker 1: be they should have a pretty high seed once they
17:13
Speaker 1: get into some of these tournaments later on in the postseason.
17:16
Speaker 1: They're cruising right now. They love playing together, a lot
17:20
Speaker 1: of smiles out on the court, and it's really really
17:23
Speaker 1: fun to see. Squalkum right now is eight and two
17:26
Speaker 1: and they're on a five game winning streak and they
17:28
Speaker 1: are starting to become healthy as a team. I mean,
17:32
Speaker 1: Kaylana Perez is now back on the court, which is
17:35
Speaker 1: awesome to see. I mean, what a tremendous athlete. So
17:39
Speaker 1: glad that she's healthy and able to play now. She's
17:41
Speaker 1: separate that horrendous soccer injury in the district tournament, but
17:45
Speaker 1: she is ready to go. She is such a competitor
17:47
Speaker 1: and she just adds so much to it. You know,
17:49
Speaker 1: the improvement from last year to this year of Kaley
17:52
Speaker 1: Harper has been huge. She is she's turning in one
17:57
Speaker 1: of those like defensive player of the Year type years.
18:00
Speaker 1: And uh and you're you already know about Lexi Robbins
18:04
Speaker 1: and the Ketman sisters. I mean, they just have so
18:06
Speaker 1: many weapons. Tianna Thompson is great as especially in the
18:09
Speaker 1: in the in the defensive post. So they just have
18:13
Speaker 1: so many of these weapons. Jasmine Singh Sanchez is now
18:16
Speaker 1: healthy again. She had a knee injury earlier in the year,
18:19
Speaker 1: but she's back and ready. You know, she's playing again now.
18:22
Speaker 1: So you know, Carli Kisow she's out for the year.
18:25
Speaker 1: But there there was a time when they were missing
18:27
Speaker 1: a lot of players and now they're all kind of
18:29
Speaker 1: starting to come back. And like I said, they're eight
18:30
Speaker 1: and two on the year right now. You know, Suffle
18:33
Speaker 1: seffarate from some early losses, only losses so far I
18:36
Speaker 1: believe have been to Linden and Seahome. The Sea home
18:40
Speaker 1: loss was not a conference game, however, But I'm really
18:44
Speaker 1: excited for when they face each other again because that
18:46
Speaker 1: will happen the regular season, it might happen again in
18:49
Speaker 1: the postseason. So that's gonna be a great game. How
18:52
Speaker 1: about Mount Baker at seven and two right now, they're
18:55
Speaker 1: on a three game winning streak. They are, you know,
18:59
Speaker 1: they're playing and as good as they've played in a
19:01
Speaker 1: long long time. Obviously, Rebecca Sores is a big, big
19:04
Speaker 1: part of that, and but they have so many of
19:08
Speaker 1: these other players that are starting to do so well.
19:13
Speaker 1: Violet Fox coming back has been huge. Someone that can
19:16
Speaker 1: play defense the way she does. She can hit her
19:19
Speaker 1: foul shots, she can handle the ball, and she's five
19:22
Speaker 1: to eight. It's not like, you know, it's not like
19:24
Speaker 1: she's There are a lot of the ball handlers around Walkom
19:26
Speaker 1: County or are shorter, and that's just kind of the
19:29
Speaker 1: way that it is. But she can see over defenders,
19:31
Speaker 1: she can she can get the ball inside when she
19:33
Speaker 1: needs to. She can hit the open shot, which has
19:35
Speaker 1: been great. Kaylen Abedia can hit a ton of shots
19:37
Speaker 1: from the outside and they're just really really fun to watch.
19:41
Speaker 1: I think Reese Brown does a great side kind of
19:44
Speaker 1: though on the weak side, you know, getting offensive rebounds
19:47
Speaker 1: or getting up you know, if Rebecca Sours gets double team,
19:50
Speaker 1: she can get it to Reese, Reese can hit that shot.
19:53
Speaker 1: And so they just have all these pieces that are
19:55
Speaker 1: really really great to see. Ryan Harkness is, you know,
19:58
Speaker 1: as tough as nails bringing the ball up. And Macy
20:04
Speaker 1: Kamanga all four foot eleven of her. She is so
20:07
Speaker 1: fun to watch and she goes all out. She's diving
20:10
Speaker 1: after balls. She blocked a shot against Meridan the other day,
20:15
Speaker 1: which was so fun to see here chasing, chasing out,
20:18
Speaker 1: chasing down a player and blocking a shot from behind
20:20
Speaker 1: at four foot eleven. Uh, it really gets to the crowd,
20:23
Speaker 1: favorite really gets them going. So Mount Baker looking very
20:25
Speaker 1: very good right now at seven to two see Home
20:28
Speaker 1: eight and three. I talked about Kate Schroeder a little bit,
20:31
Speaker 1: who gave us the intro. She's just one part of this,
20:34
Speaker 1: of this really good team that last year was very inexperienced,
20:38
Speaker 1: but this year it's like they all have experience and
20:41
Speaker 1: they're playing very very well together. Taylor Terrell, uh, you know,
20:45
Speaker 1: kind of leading the way that the distributor, but can
20:48
Speaker 1: score a lot of points. Sadie Gustafson can Holt can
20:51
Speaker 1: handle the ball as well and play play defense as
20:53
Speaker 1: a guard. Kate Kate Schroeder is you know, she's just
20:56
Speaker 1: kind of that do it all player. I mean, she
20:58
Speaker 1: she she can play like a guard, but she can
20:59
Speaker 1: re bound like a forward. And then aspen Barge in
21:02
Speaker 1: the middle. Is is tough to deal with, especially on
21:05
Speaker 1: the defensive side they play, especially when they play that
21:08
Speaker 1: two three zone and she just in the middle there
21:10
Speaker 1: and blocking shots left and right. So right now they're
21:14
Speaker 1: eight and three on the year, and they're looking really
21:17
Speaker 1: really good. Kniksac Valley. You know, they're five and two
21:22
Speaker 1: right now. Haven't played as many games, but boy, they're
21:26
Speaker 1: again a team with this big time experience with a
21:30
Speaker 1: few players as they bring along some of the other players.
21:34
Speaker 1: And right now Shayey Davis is out, but they've been
21:37
Speaker 1: doing okay without her. They're just getting by. Of course,
21:39
Speaker 1: she'll be back when they really need her, which will
21:42
Speaker 1: be leading into the end of the season, postseason stuff
21:44
Speaker 1: like that. But Grace de Hooague and Peyton Bartell are
21:47
Speaker 1: no that's putting a lot on their shoulders, but they're
21:50
Speaker 1: handling it very very well. Getting that winn aast Bellingham
21:53
Speaker 1: where they've both had huge games. Speaking of belling Ham
21:56
Speaker 1: six and five on the year, I mean, I don't
21:59
Speaker 1: think they had even six wins last year. I think
22:01
Speaker 1: they had maybe three, and so that's been great to see.
22:04
Speaker 1: Drew McFall, first year coach, very animated on the sideline,
22:08
Speaker 1: really gets into it, but you could tell he's passionate
22:11
Speaker 1: about what he's doing. And I really really like their
22:14
Speaker 1: starting five. I mean, you know, the haul and twins
22:17
Speaker 1: are great. They can handle the ball, they can shoot
22:19
Speaker 1: it outside, they rebound the ball like crazy, and they
22:22
Speaker 1: can they can just run the whole time. They're cross
22:25
Speaker 1: country runners and so you don't even have to give
22:27
Speaker 1: them a break too often. And then down low you
22:29
Speaker 1: got Merret Jensen and Mary Lockhart who are you know?
22:33
Speaker 1: They both and I think they're both in the top
22:35
Speaker 1: five and rebounds, so that is that's huge to see.
22:39
Speaker 1: And then Avan Manning's got a ton of experience. You know,
22:42
Speaker 1: a very good defensive player. She knows her role. She
22:45
Speaker 1: probably not could take a ton of shots, but she
22:47
Speaker 1: can lock onto it to a player. And they do
22:50
Speaker 1: have players that come off the bench that can hit
22:52
Speaker 1: a shot and do different things. Ashley Osk and Isabelle
22:55
Speaker 1: Rogers and and Ayisha Ferrier. They you know, there is
23:02
Speaker 1: some talent there which is really good to see. But
23:04
Speaker 1: the starting five is is very good and and they've
23:06
Speaker 1: been hanging in games. I mean they're averaging forty three
23:09
Speaker 1: points a game and allowing only forty two, So that
23:12
Speaker 1: will that will keep you in games. Ferndale right now
23:15
Speaker 1: is three and four on the year. I still haven't
23:17
Speaker 1: seen him in person, which is just crazy. I mean,
23:19
Speaker 1: obviously I've seen game film, but you know, they had
23:21
Speaker 1: a couple of games missed due to flooding and and so.
23:24
Speaker 1: But I'm really excited to see them. I feel like
23:26
Speaker 1: I've seen them a ten because it's a lot of
23:28
Speaker 1: the same players from last year. But I really think
23:33
Speaker 1: that you know, they've been playing tough competition. I think
23:38
Speaker 1: their record they will be above five hundred. I really
23:40
Speaker 1: really believe that Brooklyn Larravie is one of the best
23:43
Speaker 1: defenders in the league. Kayla washingtonon really shoot it. Abby
23:47
Speaker 1: White is an inside and outside threat. And then Julia
23:50
Speaker 1: Fox has been doing it forever out there where she's
23:53
Speaker 1: kind of relied upon to do a lot of you know,
23:55
Speaker 1: dirty work down low, but then she can shoot it
23:57
Speaker 1: from the outside as well. And Ari Gilde is a
24:00
Speaker 1: player that people got to look out for. I mean,
24:02
Speaker 1: she is really starting to come along as sophomore now
24:04
Speaker 1: led them in scoring in that last game against Lakewood,
24:07
Speaker 1: So really like what I see there too. Got to
24:11
Speaker 1: see him in person, though hopefully this week I'll be
24:12
Speaker 1: able to see them in person. Meridian is three and
24:15
Speaker 1: five on the year. I think I think they're still
24:17
Speaker 1: trying to kind of figure out what they have. You know,
24:22
Speaker 1: the graduation of Brooklyn Fuller has been huge, and then
24:25
Speaker 1: Melanie Short, you know, not playing this year, focusing on volleyball,
24:28
Speaker 1: so you're missing a couple of key ball handlers and
24:33
Speaker 1: that's been the big thing. It's like, every time I
24:34
Speaker 1: watch them, I feel like there's a different player bringing
24:36
Speaker 1: the ball out the court. But I think Eaton Bernardi
24:38
Speaker 1: has been doing a pretty good job of it. And
24:41
Speaker 1: you know, she led them in scoring the last game.
24:43
Speaker 1: She had a huge half court shot at the end
24:45
Speaker 1: of the game. It didn't it didn't you know, it
24:47
Speaker 1: wasn't a big consequence with the score or anything, but
24:49
Speaker 1: that was kind of cool to see. Uh. Of course,
24:51
Speaker 1: we've seen Eaton Bernardi, you know, on the volleyball court,
24:54
Speaker 1: track and field. She's just such a great competitor. That's
24:57
Speaker 1: what's fun about these this this Meridian team as the competitiveness.
25:01
Speaker 1: You know, we've seen Amelia Koenig win a state title
25:04
Speaker 1: in track and field and Taya Benson on the volleyball court,
25:07
Speaker 1: and I mean, these these girls have they they're great competitors.
25:12
Speaker 1: Kinsley Neil she can get on a heater and make
25:14
Speaker 1: four or five threes. Then you know, those are the
25:16
Speaker 1: kind of games you gotta watch out for. Three and
25:18
Speaker 1: five on the year, we're gonna we're gonna kind of
25:21
Speaker 1: see how they settle out here. And then Blaine is
25:24
Speaker 1: three and nine on the year. But I tell you what,
25:26
Speaker 1: they look better than they do last year. And you know,
25:30
Speaker 1: they've played a lot of games. They've already played twelve games,
25:32
Speaker 1: which I believe is more than anybody. But you know,
25:37
Speaker 1: they once they get everybody together. Uh, you know, Brieta
25:41
Speaker 1: Sandel was out for a little bit and then she
25:45
Speaker 1: right when she comes back. Kate Keuresky's on vacation, so
25:48
Speaker 1: they just haven't had you know, their main five back.
25:51
Speaker 1: I think Hayley Cruz is really starting to improve as
25:54
Speaker 1: a player. A lot of that might be just believing
25:57
Speaker 1: in herself. She's just a freshman. She actually played a
25:59
Speaker 1: little bit as an eighth grader last year, and I
26:02
Speaker 1: think she has a lot of talent. I just think
26:03
Speaker 1: she just needs to believe that she can do it,
26:06
Speaker 1: because there are moments out there when she can. She
26:10
Speaker 1: can do a lot of really good things. She's pretty
26:11
Speaker 1: tall and active and athletic and that you know, Alea
26:17
Speaker 1: Bauman does so much to the dirty work, and she
26:19
Speaker 1: can hit her free throws, she can grab a ton
26:22
Speaker 1: of rebounds and she can shoot it too, so so yeah,
26:25
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things where it's it's, you know,
26:28
Speaker 1: a game by game process. But boy, they really try hard.
26:33
Speaker 1: I really like watching them play because you can see
26:37
Speaker 1: the improvement every single week. Let's take a look at
26:39
Speaker 1: the stat leaders. Of course, they're sponsored by the Acceleration
26:43
Speaker 1: Driving School in Lindon, where Kevin Austink partnered with me
26:46
Speaker 1: in August of twenty twenty five has been a steady
26:49
Speaker 1: supporter ever since then. He's always supporting a boys and
26:51
Speaker 1: girls sport at the same time, throughout each season that
26:54
Speaker 1: passes many of you out there learning to drive, and
26:57
Speaker 1: I strongly advise you to check out Acceleration Driving School
27:00
Speaker 1: in Linden. Give Kevin a call at three six zero
27:03
Speaker 1: seven four six four five six seven telling me you
27:06
Speaker 1: heard about them on the walcom Preps podcast. And we
27:09
Speaker 1: look at the stat leaders in points per game. There's
27:12
Speaker 1: a tie at the top of the leader board and
27:14
Speaker 1: they're both juniors. You've got Finley Parture of Linden and
27:17
Speaker 1: Jemma James of Lumination, both averaging twenty one point six
27:21
Speaker 1: points per game. At field goal percentage, Finley Parture of
27:24
Speaker 1: Linden leading the way at sixty nine point two percent
27:27
Speaker 1: free through percentage, it's Peyton Mills of London at eighty
27:31
Speaker 1: eight point nine percent. Yes, there are some players that
27:33
Speaker 1: are still at one hundred percent, but they don't qualify
27:36
Speaker 1: because they haven't taken enough shots this season. In three
27:40
Speaker 1: point percentage, Kayla Washington of Ferndale has made fifty percent
27:44
Speaker 1: of her threes. She banked in a long three at
27:47
Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter against Lakewood and then
27:49
Speaker 1: started the fourth quarter hitting another three to kind of
27:52
Speaker 1: help them, you know, get some excitement getting back into
27:55
Speaker 1: that into that game, but they were already too far
27:57
Speaker 1: down and rebounding. Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker leading the
28:01
Speaker 1: way at fourteen point one rebounds per game. She's also
28:04
Speaker 1: leading in blocks at three point six per game, and
28:07
Speaker 1: assists per game. It's Alena Raebang of Lemination at six
28:11
Speaker 1: point seven. She is also leading in steels per game
28:14
Speaker 1: at five point seven. So those are your acceleration driving
28:18
Speaker 1: School and Linden's stat leaders. And now it's time to
28:21
Speaker 1: talk about the player of the week, of course, as
28:23
Speaker 1: brought to you by Anytime Fitness of Linden, Linden North
28:26
Speaker 1: and Ferndale. Check them out at any of those three locations.
28:30
Speaker 1: Tremendous facility, awesome supporter of walking preps, and your Anytime
28:34
Speaker 1: Fitness Player of the Week is Jemma James of Lemination
28:38
Speaker 1: the junior. She had an amazing tournament, bringing the the
28:44
Speaker 1: one be Lemination girls into that tournament and they went
28:50
Speaker 1: undefeated and won it. And boy she is she's a baller.
28:54
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know how else to
28:55
Speaker 1: put it. She also gave me a cupcake once after
28:58
Speaker 1: a game. She's she's a very nice person, but man,
29:02
Speaker 1: she can ball. It's like she's one of those players.
29:04
Speaker 1: I think that like if she's like there's you know,
29:09
Speaker 1: she probably travels everywhere with a basketball close by, you know,
29:13
Speaker 1: like she sees a hoop, she's gonna start shooting, dribbling,
29:16
Speaker 1: try to get a one on one game with anybody,
29:18
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. So fun to watch her play. So congratulations
29:22
Speaker 1: to Jemma James of Leimination. She's r Anytime Fitness Player
29:26
Speaker 1: of the Week. We're gonna shift our attention to boys
29:30
Speaker 1: basketball again. The nightly scoreboards are brought to you by

29:39
Speaker 1: And the daily recaps are brought to you by Most
29:41
Speaker 1: Surrey Construction for the second year in a row. Mosts
29:44
Speaker 1: Are Construction is a general contractor specializing in custom homes, remodels, excavation, landscape,
29:50
Speaker 1: and commercial construction. Most Surrey Construction has been in this
29:53
Speaker 1: commercial construction industry since nineteen seventy four right here in
29:57
Speaker 1: Walkham County, and it's earned its reputation as one of
30:00
Speaker 1: the best builders in the area. Visit them online. At
30:03
Speaker 1: moss Are Construction dot com. That's m O C E
30:06
Speaker 1: R I Construction dot com. And we're gonna look at
30:10
Speaker 1: the standings here and again just doing the overall standings,
30:14
Speaker 1: not looking at league standings. Lynden Christian right now ten
30:17
Speaker 1: and one on the year, they are writing a nine
30:19
Speaker 1: game winning streak and they've played some really tough teams too.
30:22
Speaker 1: So when you look at the kind of the main
30:24
Speaker 1: cogs of that team, it's very junior heavy. So that
30:28
Speaker 1: kind of makes you think, oh, for the next few years,
30:31
Speaker 1: especially around the state. They are quite a team. You know,
30:36
Speaker 1: they are quite the handful, averaging seventy five points a game.
30:40
Speaker 1: And you know, Dawson Heintz is just he's a difference maker.
30:45
Speaker 1: And it's not just the leaping ability in the athleticism.
30:48
Speaker 1: He can shoot it. He's got a very very quick release,
30:51
Speaker 1: really fun to see. Gunner Dykstra has has not met
30:56
Speaker 1: a shot that he is not that he doesn't like.
30:59
Speaker 1: He's been a little cold lately, but he'll come back around.
31:02
Speaker 1: I mean, shooters shoot, He's gonna make him. He'll be
31:04
Speaker 1: just fine. Caden Veldman is you know what's great is
31:07
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when he played. He played a
31:09
Speaker 1: ton as a freshman, and he was really really impressive.
31:12
Speaker 1: You know, he was spelled Jeremiah Wright a little bit,
31:15
Speaker 1: especially when Wright was injured from football, and then when
31:19
Speaker 1: Wright came back, he was kind of that sixth man
31:21
Speaker 1: off the bench and was doing such a great job.
31:23
Speaker 1: But a lot of stuff was in the in the paint,
31:26
Speaker 1: you know, very good field goal percentage of blocks, you know,
31:28
Speaker 1: per game rebounds and all that. But this year, you know,
31:31
Speaker 1: he's developed his outside shot and a lot of other things.
31:33
Speaker 1: He's very getting a lot of other guys involved, getting assists,
31:36
Speaker 1: getting steals, so becoming a very very complete player. Kayden
31:39
Speaker 1: Veldman is is definitely one of the best out there.
31:42
Speaker 1: Harvest Howell is such a great defender. He never gets tired,
31:46
Speaker 1: and it's just and Eli Mayberry is just making his shots.
31:49
Speaker 1: And so when you got those guys all playing at
31:52
Speaker 1: the same time doing so well, it's really really hard
31:55
Speaker 1: to defend Lemme Nation. Right now, ten to one and
31:58
Speaker 1: one on the season, they're on an eight game winning
32:01
Speaker 1: streak and they just you know, they just won that
32:03
Speaker 1: tournament out at Meridian as well, and then they turn
32:05
Speaker 1: around and go to Mount Vernon and they were down
32:08
Speaker 1: boy there, I think they were down eleven in the
32:10
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. They come back. It was crazy. I mean
32:15
Speaker 1: they were able to tie the game. I want to
32:20
Speaker 1: say that it was a steal by Jerome Toby drove
32:23
Speaker 1: down scored and that tied the game with like thirty
32:26
Speaker 1: seconds to go, and then they were able to get
32:31
Speaker 1: the ball back call time out, set up a play
32:35
Speaker 1: landon La Fontaine comes around, you know, the baseline sets
32:38
Speaker 1: up on the left wing. Get that. He gets the
32:41
Speaker 1: ball from Dyson Edwards and Barry's the three point shot
32:44
Speaker 1: with zero point nine seconds to go, and you know,
32:49
Speaker 1: it's just incredible what they're doing right now. It's a
32:53
Speaker 1: you know, the defending State one beach champions and they
32:55
Speaker 1: look even better this year. So it's really great to see.
32:58
Speaker 1: And I really think that, boy, it's it's it's a
33:03
Speaker 1: it's a magical time to be around them and the
33:06
Speaker 1: girls team, I mean both of them right now. It's
33:08
Speaker 1: just it's so fun. And you know, they do a
33:10
Speaker 1: lot of double headers out there at elimination. I strongly
33:13
Speaker 1: advised to go out there. It's an amazing atmosphere. The
33:16
Speaker 1: gym is huge, it's bigger than most of the gym's
33:18
Speaker 1: in Walkam County and is so fun it is and
33:23
Speaker 1: they just they play so fast and free and together,
33:27
Speaker 1: they play for each other and it's just so cool
33:29
Speaker 1: to see a great, great season so far for them,
33:32
Speaker 1: ten to one and one on the season. They're one
33:34
Speaker 1: loss coming to Lennon Christian who's ten and one on
33:37
Speaker 1: the year. A couple of teams at six and four
33:40
Speaker 1: Linnen Lyons and Seahome Mariners, Linden. You know, there's it's
33:45
Speaker 1: so weird to see a team that doesn't have a Linden,
33:47
Speaker 1: team that doesn't have immense size. And I know part
33:51
Speaker 1: of that is injuries right now. Spencer Adams is out,
33:55
Speaker 1: Ty Jorgensen is out and who knows they might come
33:58
Speaker 1: back this week. I have no idea. I don't know
34:00
Speaker 1: the depth of their of their injuries right now, but boy,
34:04
Speaker 1: they and they shoot a lot of threes. I don't
34:06
Speaker 1: know if it's percentage wise, they might shoot the most
34:08
Speaker 1: threes like per you know, I don't know how to
34:12
Speaker 1: kind to play it, like the percentage of their shot
34:14
Speaker 1: are three point attempts them see home and Liney Christian
34:17
Speaker 1: might might be the highest. Uh. And you know Lindon,
34:21
Speaker 1: they're still averaging sixty seven points a games, so they
34:24
Speaker 1: can still put it in the hole. But it's a
34:26
Speaker 1: it's a lot of it is from the outside, from
34:29
Speaker 1: the perimeter. And Lewis Whitney is you know, he's coming,
34:33
Speaker 1: he's coming in and he was coming off the benchmin
34:35
Speaker 1: now he's starting in the post and and he's going
34:37
Speaker 1: to be a big weapon for them going forward. But
34:40
Speaker 1: he's kinda he's kind of getting put into the quick
34:42
Speaker 1: you know, the fast zone right away and uh, learning
34:46
Speaker 1: on the fly. And I think he's I mean, he
34:47
Speaker 1: does a great job. He's got a great turnaround jumper.
34:49
Speaker 1: And you know, Jade Navar is such a good player,
34:51
Speaker 1: and the Canaans can shoot the lights out. So there
34:54
Speaker 1: they'll they'll be just fine. Uh And Gordy Bedlington is
34:57
Speaker 1: a great just distributor Brody Price, you know, built like
35:01
Speaker 1: a guard but plays like a forward. So you've got
35:03
Speaker 1: a lot of these things that are that are good
35:06
Speaker 1: and the program is just amazing and they will be
35:09
Speaker 1: just fine. And if they can get those guys back,
35:12
Speaker 1: they're gonna be more than fine. They're gonna be dangerous.
35:15
Speaker 1: Uh see Hill Mariners right now, man, they've they've lost
35:20
Speaker 1: some some tough ones. They really had an off shooting
35:23
Speaker 1: night against Anna Chordis, uh, and they usually really rely
35:27
Speaker 1: on that outside shot, but it just was not falling.
35:29
Speaker 1: I think they were like two for twenty seven, with
35:32
Speaker 1: the second one being you know, in the last second,
35:35
Speaker 1: the plast few seconds. I think Channel Rusk came in
35:37
Speaker 1: and just hit a three at the end, and and
35:39
Speaker 1: that was the second one they hit all game. But uh,
35:42
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have a ton of height, but
35:44
Speaker 1: they have decent size, especially with col Terrell in the middle.
35:49
Speaker 1: And but Xavier Kelly is a great complete player, Nolan writes,
35:52
Speaker 1: one of the best point guards around, and then Klay
35:55
Speaker 1: Jackson and Quincy Tanneman can really shoot it. So when
35:57
Speaker 1: you got everything going, uh they should be just just
36:00
Speaker 1: find Carter Duckworth, one of the best players coming off
36:02
Speaker 1: the bench in the league. So, uh, three and two
36:05
Speaker 1: on the year right now really kind of you know,
36:09
Speaker 1: with the extra birth to state that really you know
36:16
Speaker 1: opens my eyes to a team like Sea Home. Can
36:18
Speaker 1: they grab that? I mean right now down in you
36:21
Speaker 1: know Scadget County or beyond because of Lakewood. But I
36:25
Speaker 1: think Lakewood's you know, gonna get one of those spots.
36:30
Speaker 1: I don't know what's been happening with Burlington Edison lately.
36:32
Speaker 1: I think they started really strong, but they have not
36:34
Speaker 1: been playing well as of late. I don't know if
36:36
Speaker 1: there's an injury. I don't follow them as much. But
36:39
Speaker 1: Anacortis is really really good too, so so we'll be
36:43
Speaker 1: hard getting that that third berth. But Seahome is they're
36:46
Speaker 1: gonna have to upset one of those teams once it
36:49
Speaker 1: gets to the district tournament. There squalk them right now
36:52
Speaker 1: five and four and and Hunter Callaway is back, so
36:57
Speaker 1: that's a great thing. I you know, I'll be completely honest,
37:00
Speaker 1: I don't know how they stayed afloat without him. It's
37:04
Speaker 1: some great coaching by David Dunham and his crew. But
37:09
Speaker 1: there is a lot of players on that team that
37:11
Speaker 1: I had never even heard of, and they are playing
37:13
Speaker 1: to their roles very very well. Blake Elson has also
37:17
Speaker 1: up his game quite a bit into one of the
37:19
Speaker 1: top players overall in the county, in the conference, maybe
37:23
Speaker 1: even in the state. He's really really up his game.
37:26
Speaker 1: O'Ryan Grandberg Kittles is you know, still learning on the inside,
37:30
Speaker 1: but boy he's a beast. Two and now you get
37:32
Speaker 1: Hunter callaway back, and you kind of have that big three.
37:35
Speaker 1: And if you have that, that can really get you
37:37
Speaker 1: a long way. Where these other players were, you know,
37:40
Speaker 1: forced to a little bit more than usual. And now
37:42
Speaker 1: they can kind of settle into some more rules and
37:45
Speaker 1: and I think they could they could really do some damage.
37:48
Speaker 1: Five and four on the year right now with a
37:50
Speaker 1: two game winning streak. We'll see how things progress. Bellingham
37:53
Speaker 1: right now, they kind of started slow, but they've won
37:56
Speaker 1: two in a row. They're now five and five on
37:58
Speaker 1: the year. Big big win over Knooksack Valley just recently
38:03
Speaker 1: here where they were down. They were down by two
38:08
Speaker 1: and and they got the ball into Barrett Johnson down
38:13
Speaker 1: low who was fouled on the act of shooting with
38:15
Speaker 1: like five seconds to go. So he goes the line
38:19
Speaker 1: to shoot two and they're down by two. Now, every
38:21
Speaker 1: you know, every basketball player or even athlete. I mean,
38:23
Speaker 1: I'm not a basketball player, but I've done that where
38:26
Speaker 1: you bounce the ball and you're like, okay, you're down
38:28
Speaker 1: by two and you're gonna shoot two free throws, and
38:30
Speaker 1: then you shoot him and like that's what you're saying
38:32
Speaker 1: in your head. He makes the first one, so you're like, okay,
38:35
Speaker 1: you just got to make the second one, and the
38:37
Speaker 1: second one rims off to the right, and Joe Harward
38:39
Speaker 1: just it was like he I don't know how to
38:43
Speaker 1: explain it. It's like he was Luigi in Super Mario
38:46
Speaker 1: Brothers two where he had that extra high jump and
38:49
Speaker 1: he just jumped over everybody, caught the ball, came down,
38:54
Speaker 1: went back up, put it off the glass, and scored
38:57
Speaker 1: the bucket to give them the one point lead with
38:59
Speaker 1: less than a second going to go, you know, basically
39:01
Speaker 1: win the game. What an amazing, just physical, you know play,
39:10
Speaker 1: probably gonna be up there for the PEPSI Play of
39:11
Speaker 1: the Week, Huge, huge moment. And he has that kind
39:16
Speaker 1: of athleticism that you just can't teach. I mean, it's
39:19
Speaker 1: just different when you watch him do things like that. So,
39:23
Speaker 1: you know, and he scored twenty points in that game.
39:25
Speaker 1: I think he had a double double earlier in the tournament.
39:29
Speaker 1: In the Merian Tournament, he broke the school record by
39:31
Speaker 1: scoring forty one points in a game. As unbelievable, breaking
39:36
Speaker 1: a record that was that had been held for thirty years.
39:40
Speaker 1: Eric Jorison had scored forty in a game. So congratulations
39:46
Speaker 1: to Joe Harvard on that and right now Bellingham is
39:49
Speaker 1: about as even steven as it gets there. Five and
39:52
Speaker 1: five on the year, they average sixty one points, they
39:54
Speaker 1: allow sixty one points. So we'll just have to see
39:58
Speaker 1: going going forward if they can kind of get on
40:01
Speaker 1: a momentum thing and you never know, they could obsess
40:03
Speaker 1: the teams and see what happens there. Nuksack Valley right
40:06
Speaker 1: now is four and five on the year, played nine games,
40:09
Speaker 1: only two of them have been at home, and you know,
40:13
Speaker 1: losing that heartbreaker to Bellingham. It's what's what's fun about
40:16
Speaker 1: watching Nuksack Valley is there's I truly feel that there's
40:24
Speaker 1: there's seven different guys on that team that could lead
40:26
Speaker 1: them in scoring on any given night, and that I
40:28
Speaker 1: don't you can't say that about a lot of teams.
40:31
Speaker 1: And they're very, very unselfish. They're they're very good at moving.
40:35
Speaker 1: You know, guys will move without the ball, and they
40:38
Speaker 1: they do a lot of passing without dribbling, and that
40:41
Speaker 1: could be just a thing of I don't know if
40:43
Speaker 1: they have a true point guard really on the team.
40:46
Speaker 1: They got a lot of guys that can shoot, they
40:48
Speaker 1: got some you know, some good size for the inside
40:50
Speaker 1: a lot of their tallest guys are more guard like players,
40:53
Speaker 1: though you know k kru Bauman is tall, but I
40:56
Speaker 1: think he's more of a guard than a forward. Uh.
40:58
Speaker 1: You know, Owen Wickers is saying way, you know West
41:02
Speaker 1: and Sylvia's you know, he was kind of like the
41:04
Speaker 1: backup guard last year, but he's so big and strong
41:06
Speaker 1: that you'll play down low a lot now. So it's
41:09
Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts. I think Jade Anderson
41:12
Speaker 1: is a fantastic shooter. Every time he shoots, it looks
41:14
Speaker 1: like it's going in, you know, So I just they
41:19
Speaker 1: don't have like that super duper superstar. Cole Coppinger probably
41:24
Speaker 1: the most athletic, but you know, there's a lot of
41:29
Speaker 1: you know, focus on him a lot of times, so
41:31
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys. But that's what I love
41:33
Speaker 1: about the team, is that any given you know, there's
41:35
Speaker 1: so many different guys on that team that could step
41:37
Speaker 1: up and be the main guy for that game. And
41:39
Speaker 1: sometimes when you know the guys not not shooting well,
41:43
Speaker 1: they're gonna rely on someone else to do the job.
41:45
Speaker 1: And they have a lot of those guys. Mount Baker
41:48
Speaker 1: right now is three and four on the year. Haven't
41:51
Speaker 1: played a ton of games, only played seven them along
41:54
Speaker 1: with Ferndale, only two teams that have only played seven
41:56
Speaker 1: games so far. You know, not having Carter Hill is
41:59
Speaker 1: just it's just too bad. You know, he would have
42:03
Speaker 1: been a four year starter. He's out for the year.
42:08
Speaker 1: But they're really they're really really fun to watch. They
42:11
Speaker 1: have stretches where they look amazing and then they just
42:14
Speaker 1: kind of have some mental lapses too, so you just
42:17
Speaker 1: never know. But cal rear and down Low provides great
42:20
Speaker 1: great size and strength and leadership. Jordan Bailey handling the ball,
42:25
Speaker 1: that's the guy you want. He's very unselfish, plays very fast,
42:30
Speaker 1: and when the game gets kind of kind of loose,
42:33
Speaker 1: it's kind of when he's at his best. So that's
42:35
Speaker 1: been good to see. Peyton Abedia is no one's gonna
42:39
Speaker 1: have more sweat on his body when the game's over.
42:41
Speaker 1: He works so hard. Gage Smith has really up his game.
42:47
Speaker 1: I mean he's just so quick, and the more confident
42:49
Speaker 1: he gets in his shot, that's gonna be a bonus
42:52
Speaker 1: for them. Jet Ross obviously just a tremendous athlete, could
42:56
Speaker 1: do some really good things. And Pepe Macavoice out gotto,
43:00
Speaker 1: remember that name, and he's just a sophomore. But and
43:05
Speaker 1: you watch him play and he's always is in the
43:07
Speaker 1: right place at the right time. He's always coming up
43:09
Speaker 1: with the rebounds and doing different things. And I think
43:12
Speaker 1: he's like sixth or seventh in the county and rebounds
43:15
Speaker 1: and he comes off the bench and he's just one
43:16
Speaker 1: of those guys that he's just a sophomore and I
43:19
Speaker 1: think he's a he's just a basketball player, Like he
43:21
Speaker 1: just does all the right things coaches, kid, you know,
43:25
Speaker 1: really just kind of knows what to do, where to go,
43:27
Speaker 1: and it's really really fun to watch. So there are
43:30
Speaker 1: some great pieces there with Mount Baker as they continue
43:34
Speaker 1: to try to put things together. Meridian right now, they
43:36
Speaker 1: just got to win over Mount Baker. They are four
43:38
Speaker 1: and six right now, they win four to their last five.
43:41
Speaker 1: Really starting to figure out their rotation, I think, I mean,
43:43
Speaker 1: they play there's been games where they played fourteen guys,
43:47
Speaker 1: and if he looked at them in the beginning of
43:48
Speaker 1: the year to now, the minutes are completely different. They're
43:51
Speaker 1: finding guys and they're finding roles, and they're finding the
43:54
Speaker 1: right spots for everybody because it's very you know, it's
43:58
Speaker 1: it's Daniel Larson and a bunch of guards and Lincoln
44:02
Speaker 1: Burgesson come in and be you know, Larson's backup. He's
44:05
Speaker 1: not as tall as Larson, but he's very, very physical
44:09
Speaker 1: on the paint, so that can spell him a little bit,
44:12
Speaker 1: which is funny because he was the backup tight end
44:14
Speaker 1: two on the football team. So but you got you know,
44:18
Speaker 1: Pierce Brosowski and you got Trey Alexander that have you know,
44:22
Speaker 1: the good the main varsity experience, but they're both guards.
44:26
Speaker 1: You know, Gabe Gabe Galbreath is really starting to shoot
44:28
Speaker 1: it really well. He's another one of those guys that
44:31
Speaker 1: every time he shoots it it looks like it's going in.
44:33
Speaker 1: He just has that kind of shot. And you know,
44:37
Speaker 1: and ld Webster coming off the bench has really really
44:40
Speaker 1: starting to become a key part of their of their team.
44:44
Speaker 1: He led them in scoring the last game against Mount
44:46
Speaker 1: Mount Mount Baker. And that pressure defense when they do
44:49
Speaker 1: that at times and can they're you know, especially Trey Alexander,
44:52
Speaker 1: he's so quick at just getting his hand in the
44:55
Speaker 1: passing zone and and and just going up and tipping passes.
44:58
Speaker 1: They got guys around someone will it and past somebody
45:00
Speaker 1: else and they get an easy shot. So, uh, it's
45:03
Speaker 1: that combination of all those things has been really working
45:07
Speaker 1: well for the Meridian Trojans. And of course you got
45:09
Speaker 1: Shane Shane Stacey on the bench. It doesn a tremendous job.
45:11
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a good combination. I think. You know,
45:15
Speaker 1: Meridians started they couldn't get a win earlier in the year,
45:18
Speaker 1: and now they're looking at you know, could they be
45:21
Speaker 1: that second team out of the one A. You know
45:24
Speaker 1: it's boy, I tell you that two through five in
45:28
Speaker 1: the one A for boys basketball is going to be
45:30
Speaker 1: a dogfight. They're gonna you might just have them all
45:32
Speaker 1: beat each other. Who knows what's gonna happen. Of course,
45:34
Speaker 1: it's really gonna count once you get to the district playoffs.
45:36
Speaker 1: Another one of those teams is the Blaine Border Rights.
45:38
Speaker 1: They're three and seven on the year. They've lost six
45:41
Speaker 1: in a row, which is just crazy to think because
45:43
Speaker 1: they've played really well, At least in my eyes, I
45:46
Speaker 1: feel like they've they've played pretty well. They went to
45:49
Speaker 1: a six man rotation for quite a while. When things
45:51
Speaker 1: are going the way they want them to and they're
45:53
Speaker 1: close games, they only play six with Mile Dall being
45:56
Speaker 1: the one player that comes off the bench. But Peyton
45:58
Speaker 1: Bowman is now back from in so he's getting some
46:00
Speaker 1: good minutes. So you're starting to starting to they're starting
46:03
Speaker 1: to be more like a seven man rotation. Gus Dixon
46:06
Speaker 1: has played really well down low. He's a double double machine.
46:09
Speaker 1: Landon Milton is a matchup problem because he's six five
46:12
Speaker 1: and you can shoot like a guard, but he can play,
46:15
Speaker 1: you know, he can defend like a forward, he can
46:16
Speaker 1: block shots. So there's some really good things to like
46:20
Speaker 1: about the team. Uh. Chas Cock is a great, great coach.
46:24
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get them going in the right way,
46:26
Speaker 1: so they will upset some teams. I guarantee you. Uh
46:29
Speaker 1: they you know, they they they're they're they're doing things
46:33
Speaker 1: the right way. It's just it's hard for me to
46:34
Speaker 1: believe that they lost six in a row and then
46:36
Speaker 1: the Ferndale Golden Eagles. They've only played six they're seven games.
46:39
Speaker 1: They are one and six on the year, and they've
46:41
Speaker 1: played some really, really tough teams though. I mean they've
46:44
Speaker 1: already met up with some some other Big three eight
46:47
Speaker 1: teams four A school. I think they've played Lakewood already,
46:51
Speaker 1: so they you know, they start off, you know, with
46:53
Speaker 1: a juggernaut schedule, and the things will starting to kind
46:55
Speaker 1: of eat, they will start to even out a little bit.
46:57
Speaker 1: But you know, Montage saying kind of came in as
47:01
Speaker 1: the main guy and he's you know, he's doing all
47:03
Speaker 1: the things leading him and scoring. But there's been another
47:06
Speaker 1: guy's Trayson Pazaski is boy. He's a dead eye shooter.
47:09
Speaker 1: He can and he gets a ton of rebounds for
47:11
Speaker 1: a guard, he gets a lot of rebounds, which tells
47:14
Speaker 1: me a lot about kind of his basketball IQ and
47:17
Speaker 1: seeing things and he will outwork the opponents. Houston Wills
47:22
Speaker 1: has been shooting the lights out, which is great to see.
47:24
Speaker 1: So there's there's there's there's moments, there's there are guys
47:27
Speaker 1: in there that can do some good, good things. They
47:29
Speaker 1: will definitely improve on their one and six record as
47:33
Speaker 1: the season goes on. Let's stick a look at the
47:35
Speaker 1: stat leaders again, brought to you by Acceleration Driving School
47:38
Speaker 1: in London, and uh give Kevin a call three six
47:41
Speaker 1: zero seven four six four five sixty seven telling me
47:44
Speaker 1: you heard about them on the Walk and Preps podcast
47:46
Speaker 1: and that you want to learn how to drive. Let's
47:49
Speaker 1: look at this and when we look at the stat leaders,
47:52
Speaker 1: We'll start with points per game, and of course leading
47:54
Speaker 1: the way still is Dawson Heins of Lennon Christian averaging
47:57
Speaker 1: twenty five point nine points per game. Uh, he's the
48:02
Speaker 1: only one over twenty points a game now and I
48:03
Speaker 1: believe he will hold on to that for the rest
48:05
Speaker 1: of the year. He's that dynamic and field goal percentage
48:09
Speaker 1: Chase weight Keller of Lemon Nation, the big six foot
48:12
Speaker 1: eight center heading to Central Washington. He is averaging sixty
48:15
Speaker 1: four point one percent on his field goals three throw percentages.
48:19
Speaker 1: Spencer Adams of Lynden He's been sitting at eighty eight
48:21
Speaker 1: point nine percent for a while, still has enough attempts
48:25
Speaker 1: to qualify, but that might not last too long if
48:27
Speaker 1: he remains out for an extended period of time, So
48:30
Speaker 1: we have to wait and see there. Again, there are
48:32
Speaker 1: players that are one hundred percent but don't have enough
48:35
Speaker 1: attempts to qualify. In three point shooting, Houston Wills of
48:40
Speaker 1: Ferndale now heads up into the lead at forty eight
48:43
Speaker 1: point six percent. He's got a sweet looking shot, I mean, boy,
48:47
Speaker 1: and just a sophomore, so really really like watching him.
48:52
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he was like five ten last
48:53
Speaker 1: year and now he's six to two. Huge growth spurt.
48:57
Speaker 1: And you know his brother Hunter was probably six five
49:00
Speaker 1: six six, So if he keeps growing, that could only
49:03
Speaker 1: bode well for the Ferndale Golden Eagles. Rebounds per game
49:07
Speaker 1: and his Chasewaight Keller of Leimination averaging twelve point one
49:11
Speaker 1: assists per game. It's Nolan Wright a sea home seven
49:14
Speaker 1: point five assists per game. I tell you what I
49:16
Speaker 1: love when I watch him play. It's so funny because
49:18
Speaker 1: he truly is a pass first point guard. Now there
49:22
Speaker 1: are moments when he will shoot it, but he's really
49:24
Speaker 1: really looking to get his guys involved. And he's very
49:27
Speaker 1: good at at you know, leading his teammates towards the hoop.
49:31
Speaker 1: And no surprise either because I mean no one threw
49:35
Speaker 1: attempted more passes completed, more passes for more yards, and
49:37
Speaker 1: more touchdowns in Walkom County history than Nolan Writes. So
49:41
Speaker 1: who congratulations to him. He was just named two way
49:44
Speaker 1: All State first team quarterback, so very very impressive there.
49:48
Speaker 1: Steals per game. Jerome Toby of Lemination at four steals
49:52
Speaker 1: a game, had a big one there against Mount Vernon
49:54
Speaker 1: which he converted into two points to tie the game
49:56
Speaker 1: with thirty seconds to go. Great great player. I don't
50:00
Speaker 1: I don't know how he does it. He's so is anticipating.
50:03
Speaker 1: Anticipation is off the charts. Did it in that state
50:08
Speaker 1: championship game, had that key steal late and and then
50:12
Speaker 1: he's just man, he's just so good. And I wish
50:16
Speaker 1: he was younger because I wish I could see him
50:17
Speaker 1: for more years. But he is, Uh, he's so fun
50:20
Speaker 1: to watch. And then blocks per game. We talked about
50:23
Speaker 1: him eurder Cayden Veldman of Linden Christian at two point
50:25
Speaker 1: nine blocks per game. You know he's only about six four,
50:31
Speaker 1: six three or sixty four, but boy, he plays taller
50:33
Speaker 1: than that. You can really get off his speed quickly
50:36
Speaker 1: and has a great, great timing when he's blocking those shots.
50:39
Speaker 1: That it was time to look at the player of
50:42
Speaker 1: the week for boys basketball. Course that is getting brought
50:44
Speaker 1: to you by Anytime Fitness. Check them out in Lindon,
50:47
Speaker 1: Linden North and Ferndale. Of course, when I say Linden
50:50
Speaker 1: and Linden North, the Linden North location is that one
50:53
Speaker 1: right there in the main kind of shopping area across
50:57
Speaker 1: from the Linden Fairgrounds. Uh. And then the other one
51:00
Speaker 1: that's further south is on in the corner of Hannigan
51:04
Speaker 1: and on Poll Road. Probably almost blanked on that, but
51:09
Speaker 1: Hannigan and pull right there. And then the one in
51:11
Speaker 1: Ferndale which is right next to Ediln Darry another fantastic
51:14
Speaker 1: sponsor of walking Preps. So go to any of those
51:16
Speaker 1: three locations, check it out, and they are they're just
51:20
Speaker 1: they're fantastic, big time supporters of walking Preps, which has
51:23
Speaker 1: been fantastic. The Anytime Fitness Player of the Week is
51:29
Speaker 1: Lemon Nations Chase weight Keller. You know they won that tournament.
51:33
Speaker 1: He had a huge tournament, uh, double double machine all
51:36
Speaker 1: the way through. And then they get that they get
51:39
Speaker 1: that big win over Mount Vernon there the one point
51:42
Speaker 1: win where again I mean I think he had like
51:44
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen rebounds in that game. A huge threat
51:48
Speaker 1: and a huge just a tremendous addition to the team
51:52
Speaker 1: this year for the Blackhawks. We look at this upcoming
51:55
Speaker 1: week of high school sports, let's go day by day
51:59
Speaker 1: and kind of look at kind of the main things
52:00
Speaker 1: that you want to look for. On Monday, you got
52:02
Speaker 1: a doubleheader Lumby Nation at to lay Lip Heritage and
52:07
Speaker 1: the website says that the girls game is at to
52:10
Speaker 1: lay Lip Heritage, but the boys game is at Everett
52:13
Speaker 1: Community College. Now the games are five thirty seven, so
52:17
Speaker 1: I would imagine they're both at Everett Community College, but
52:20
Speaker 1: that's not what it says. So you know, ask around
52:25
Speaker 1: as find out. Ask some of the players. They will
52:28
Speaker 1: let you know. But it's gonna be a great doubleheader
52:30
Speaker 1: down in Everett. On Tuesday. You got a lot of
52:33
Speaker 1: things happening on Tuesday. You look at boys swimming Sea
52:36
Speaker 1: Home at Bellingham at three forty five at the Arnie
52:39
Speaker 1: Hannah Aquatic Center, and then you got boys wrestling Mount
52:43
Speaker 1: Baker at Meridian at six o'clock. I think that's an
52:46
Speaker 1: awesome match Both schools have some big time wrestlers. You
52:50
Speaker 1: got a great girls basketball games here as well. We
52:53
Speaker 1: got Bellevue Christian at Lindon at six o'clock. I really
52:57
Speaker 1: really like that matchup. And then Nook Sac Valley at
53:00
Speaker 1: Sea Home at seven fifteen. So again I think that's
53:04
Speaker 1: a great matchup as well. So you got some really
53:07
Speaker 1: good games there, a lot of stuff jam packed there
53:09
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, you got a girls and
53:12
Speaker 1: boys doubleheader for basketball. Mount Baker at Blaine starts at
53:16
Speaker 1: five point forty. The boys game will finish, will continue
53:20
Speaker 1: that double header right after that. On Thursday, you got
53:23
Speaker 1: boys wrestling Squalicum at Sea Home. I love that matchup
53:27
Speaker 1: as well. You know, I don't know who you'd be.
53:30
Speaker 1: I guess Squalalkham might be the favorite in that. Seedrew
53:33
Speaker 1: Woollye and Nuksack Valley will also be there at Sea Home,
53:36
Speaker 1: but the Squalicam Sealm matchup is the big one that
53:38
Speaker 1: I want to I want to see. And then in
53:40
Speaker 1: girls wrestling, you got Mount Baker and Burlington Edison at
53:43
Speaker 1: Lindon at six o'clock, so you got you know, I
53:47
Speaker 1: don't know that much about Burlington Edison girls wrestling, but
53:49
Speaker 1: I know Mount Baker and Lyndon have stacked rosters with
53:52
Speaker 1: a lot of great wrestlers, so that should be pretty
53:55
Speaker 1: good as well. On Friday, how about Knuksack Valley at
53:58
Speaker 1: King's Girls Back Basketball. Kings is one of the teams
54:02
Speaker 1: that is one of the top teams in the state,
54:05
Speaker 1: and this will be a great measuring stick for Knuksack Valley.
54:08
Speaker 1: You're going down there to face them and that'll be
54:11
Speaker 1: Friday night at seven o'clock. And then on Saturday, you
54:13
Speaker 1: got a couple of big things going. How about the
54:15
Speaker 1: boys wrestling battle at the Border at Blaine. You got
54:19
Speaker 1: a ton of Walkham County schools that'll be at this tournament,
54:22
Speaker 1: which would be really cool. That starts at eight am
54:24
Speaker 1: out of Blaine High School. And then you got another
54:27
Speaker 1: girls boys doubleheader for basketball Lemme Nation at Nia Bay
54:32
Speaker 1: starting at two o'clock there. So I think it's two
54:34
Speaker 1: o'clock and three forty five are the two times that'll
54:39
Speaker 1: be Saturday afternoon at Nia Bay. That should be pretty
54:42
Speaker 1: great as well. That does it? I feel like I
54:47
