Speaker 1: Holy cow, what a great player to watch, you know,
0:49
Speaker 1: starting since day one as a freshman. I was there
0:52
Speaker 1: for that first game and she looked really impressive then
0:56
Speaker 1: and she's just improved more and more, especially with her
0:58
Speaker 1: shot or free throw. Shoe is fantastic and she's a
1:03
Speaker 1: big reason why Bellingham the girls team is three and
1:06
Speaker 1: one right now. I think, you know, I'm not even sure.
1:09
Speaker 1: I think they may have had three or four wins
1:11
Speaker 1: last year and they're doing really really good this year
1:13
Speaker 1: and excited to see her play and see what she's
1:18
Speaker 1: been doing and and thank you for the intro, Mary,
1:22
Speaker 1: So thank you. Also, huge shout out to Walton Beverage.
1:26
Speaker 1: I can't tell all of you how blessed and thankful
1:28
Speaker 1: I am for a company like Walton Beverage, who's been
1:30
Speaker 1: a staple in our community for over ninety years, to
1:33
Speaker 1: take an interest in walk and preps and allow me
1:36
Speaker 1: to keep doing what I love to do. It's a
1:38
Speaker 1: game changer for me and I will continue to work
1:40
Speaker 1: harder every day to make the fantastic people a Walton
1:43
Speaker 1: Beverage proud to sponsor youth sports in our community. They
1:46
Speaker 1: deliver superior quality and commitment, and I plan to do
1:49
Speaker 1: the very same. Also, do you live in Walcome's Gadget
1:53
Speaker 1: Island or San Juan County and want to become an official?
1:56
Speaker 1: Officiating is a great way to give back to your
1:58
Speaker 1: community and ensure our youth have an opportunity to compete
2:02
Speaker 1: in athletics. Go to nwofficials dot com, check it out
2:06
Speaker 1: and see how you can get involved. I do want
2:10
Speaker 1: to say that you know, last week when I talked
2:13
Speaker 1: about this, I was I was fifty to fifty. I
2:15
Speaker 1: was on the fence about doing a top one hundred
2:17
Speaker 1: list for football. I will be doing it and it
2:21
Speaker 1: will be starting soon, so I just I'm trying to
2:25
Speaker 1: play catch up and get everything together. I've got a
2:28
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on, you know, holidays and all
2:31
Speaker 1: that stuff, So I don't know if I'm I'm probably
2:34
Speaker 1: going to start it this week, but it might be
2:36
Speaker 1: a little later. I might be releasing four names per
2:40
Speaker 1: day instead of three, so it can get I can
2:42
Speaker 1: get through it quicker. I always feel like when I
2:44
Speaker 1: do three names a day, I mean that basically that
2:46
Speaker 1: takes like on the thirty fourth day is when you know, finally,
2:51
Speaker 1: so it goes for over a month. When I do
2:53
Speaker 1: it that way, this way it can take under a month,
2:56
Speaker 1: and so it's still I wanted to still be kind
2:59
Speaker 1: of thought of football by the time I get to
3:01
Speaker 1: number one. And by the way, I think I have
3:04
Speaker 1: my list finished. But the top like eight are so interchangeable,
3:09
Speaker 1: any one of them could be number one. It's so
3:12
Speaker 1: so hard this year. It really truly is. There's years
3:15
Speaker 1: where it's really easy and you always have like maybe
3:18
Speaker 1: two guys have to choose for who number one is
3:19
Speaker 1: going to be This is I'm dead serious. I have
3:22
Speaker 1: like eight different guys that could be number one. So
3:25
Speaker 1: still going through it my head a little bit, but
3:27
Speaker 1: I think I have to figure it out. It's gonna
3:30
Speaker 1: be crazy. All right, Let's talk about the week that
3:33
Speaker 1: was in Waka County with high school sports. Let's start
3:36
Speaker 1: with girls wrestling. Of course, again, got to say with
3:41
Speaker 1: the flooding and everything, a lot of things got canceled moved,
3:46
Speaker 1: so there's not as many things to talk about. But
3:51
Speaker 1: it's just one of those devastating things. And I know
3:53
Speaker 1: our community is amazing and they come together for all
3:56
Speaker 1: sorts of things like this always. We always build back up,
4:02
Speaker 1: and so I'm hoping we can do the same like
4:03
Speaker 1: we did four years ago. But my goodness, it was
4:08
Speaker 1: crazy to see. Especially growing up out in the Deming area.
4:11
Speaker 1: I kind of know some of the areas pretty well
4:14
Speaker 1: and so it's it's tough. But I just hope everyone
4:20
Speaker 1: out there is you know, safe, and is doing okay.
4:23
Speaker 1: And hopefully, you know, if you are struggling, hopefully listening
4:27
Speaker 1: to this can can you know, make you feel a
4:30
Speaker 1: little bit better at least. So so yeah, let's talk
4:36
Speaker 1: about girls wrestling. That's on Thursday Duel meet. Blaine defeated

7:52
Speaker 1: even if it's just results, I do want to start
7:54
Speaker 1: getting that out there. Plus I'd love to have win

9:11

Speaker 1: around at all the individual events here. Let's start with
9:17

Speaker 1: he's pretty impressive, it looks like. And in the two
10:30

11:10
Speaker 1: those are all your top Walkham County times for each event.
11:14
Speaker 1: The standings all brought to you by Staffer Insurance. Let's
11:19
Speaker 1: go to girls basketball. The nightly scoreboards are brought to
11:22
Speaker 1: you by Edeln Darry from Satisfied Cows to satisfied Customers.
11:25
Speaker 1: Edling Darry is my favorite place in Walkham County to
11:27
Speaker 1: get a cold treat and you can check them out
11:29
Speaker 1: at any of their five stores, two in Linden, win
11:32
Speaker 1: and Blaine, one in Sums and of course the one
11:34
Speaker 1: in Ferndale where I find myself the most often. And
11:37
Speaker 1: you look at the standings right now, Lynnen Christian is four,
11:41
Speaker 1: and oh Lynden three, and oh Knuksack Valley one and oh,
11:43
Speaker 1: of course Nuxack Valley has not played in quite a
11:45
Speaker 1: while because of the flooding, but those three schools are
11:50
Speaker 1: yet to take a loss. Mount Baker and Seahome are
11:52
Speaker 1: both four and one on the year, Leimer Nation and
11:55
Speaker 1: Bellingham are both three and one, Squalkum is three and two,
11:59
Speaker 1: Meridian one one, Burndale one and two, and Blaine is
12:03
Speaker 1: one and four. Things that stood out this past week,
12:08
Speaker 1: you know, seeing Linden Christian come back against Archbishop Murphy
12:11
Speaker 1: was really really something that was on Saturday that was
12:15
Speaker 1: pretty awesome to see because they just had a rough
12:17
Speaker 1: first half, I mean a really rough first half, just
12:19
Speaker 1: kind of you know, missing outside shots, missing inside shots,
12:24
Speaker 1: just uncharacteristic things. And for them to not hang their
12:29
Speaker 1: head and just let it go away, it was awesome.
12:32
Speaker 1: I think they I think there was ten minutes straight
12:34
Speaker 1: of game time the last six minutes of the first half,
12:38
Speaker 1: in the first four minutes of the second half where
12:40
Speaker 1: they did not hit a field goal, And if you
12:43
Speaker 1: think about it, there's thirty two minutes in a full game,
12:45
Speaker 1: and if for ten of those straight, for ten straight
12:48
Speaker 1: of that to not hit up shot and still win,
12:52
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. They they were able to come back
12:54
Speaker 1: and get the win. Really really good to see. I mean,
12:56
Speaker 1: Lyndon dominant in their first couple of games against conference opponents.
13:01
Speaker 1: Then they went and played four a Tahoma one by
13:04
Speaker 1: twelve on the road, So very very impressive showing there.
13:10
Speaker 1: Really like what Baker and Seaholm have both done. You
13:13
Speaker 1: could tell that they're both improved from last year. They'll
13:16
Speaker 1: be playing each other this upcoming week. We'll talk about
13:18
Speaker 1: that in a little bit leimation. Just getting after it
13:21
Speaker 1: like they always do. Only lost on the years to
13:23
Speaker 1: a very talented Mount Vernon Christian squad. Bellingham suffered their
13:27
Speaker 1: first loss against Mount Baker. I was there for that
13:30
Speaker 1: entire game. I thought it was gonna be a little
13:33
Speaker 1: closer than it was, but Rebecca Sores just kind of
13:35
Speaker 1: went off and took control of that one. Squalicum's a
13:40
Speaker 1: really good team. They ran into some good they ran
13:42
Speaker 1: into a great winning team and not maybe not just great,
13:45
Speaker 1: but like you know, the historic, historically great, and Squalicum
13:51
Speaker 1: is still you know, they're not one hundred percent. They
13:53
Speaker 1: got there waiting for some Big ten players to come back.
13:55
Speaker 1: So once they're one hundred percent, I'm really curious to
13:57
Speaker 1: see what they can do going forward. Let's take a
14:00
Speaker 1: look at the stat leaders. Stat Leaders brought to you
14:02
Speaker 1: by Acceleration Driving School in Linden. They've been sponsoring the
14:06
Speaker 1: girls' basketball stat leaders for quite a while. This is
14:10
Speaker 1: the second year. Kevin Austin partnered with WALKINGM Preps in
14:13
Speaker 1: August of twenty twenty five, and he has been a
14:14
Speaker 1: steady supporter ever since then. He's always supporting a boys
14:18
Speaker 1: and girls sport at the same time throughout each season.
14:20
Speaker 1: That passes many of you out there learning to drive,
14:24
Speaker 1: and I strongly advise you to check out Acceleration Driving
14:26
Speaker 1: School in Linden. Give Kevin a call three six zero
14:29
Speaker 1: seven four six four five six seven tell him you
14:33
Speaker 1: heard about them on the Walcome Preps podcast. All right,
14:37
Speaker 1: we got a lot of new leaders here this week,
14:39
Speaker 1: especially with Linden now playing some games that they were
14:42
Speaker 1: they did not have a game the week before. So
14:45
Speaker 1: in points per game, Finleyparture of Linden leading the way
14:48
Speaker 1: at twenty six point three points per game, including a
14:50
Speaker 1: thirty four point effort at Tahoma. And that really tells
14:54
Speaker 1: me something because when games are close, it's which players
14:58
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion at that point, and that really
15:01
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we know Finley Parcher's, you know, one
15:04
Speaker 1: of the best players in the state, regardless of classifications,
15:07
Speaker 1: so we're not surprised there, but she just does it
15:10
Speaker 1: game in and game out. Field goal percentage leader, it
15:13
Speaker 1: is Finley Parcher. She's shooting eighty percent from the field,
15:18
Speaker 1: which is a crazy percentage. And this is not like
15:21
Speaker 1: she's not like four or five. She's put up a
15:23
Speaker 1: lot of shots and she's made a lot of shots,
15:26
Speaker 1: so I mean that will go down over time, but
15:30
Speaker 1: right now she's off to a really hot start. Also
15:33
Speaker 1: leading in free throw percentage at ninety point nine. I
15:35
Speaker 1: think she's made ten of eleven free throws. There are
15:39
Speaker 1: some players that are at one hundred percent, but they
15:42
Speaker 1: don't have the They haven't you know, they how do
15:47
Speaker 1: I put this, They don't qualify because they haven't had
15:50
Speaker 1: enough attempts, yet that'll change over time. I'm trying to
15:54
Speaker 1: figure out what the good I think it's just, you know,
15:56
Speaker 1: just put like two attempts per game or something like that.
16:00
Speaker 1: I got to come up with a standby for that.
16:03
Speaker 1: For three point percentage, it's fill departure again, along with
16:06
Speaker 1: Ella Fritz of Linden Christian. They each have hit fifty
16:09
Speaker 1: percent of their three pointers. And rebounds per game. It's
16:12
Speaker 1: Rebecca Soaurs of Mount Baker. She's averaging fifteen point four
16:16
Speaker 1: rebounds a game and assists per game. It's Alena Raebang
16:20
Speaker 1: of Lemon Nation. She's averaging eight assists per game and
16:24
Speaker 1: steals per game. It's Graced Hoague of Nikzac Valley. Just
16:26
Speaker 1: played in the one game, but she did have seven
16:28
Speaker 1: steals in that game. Of course, they'll be adding some
16:33
Speaker 1: games onto the season after they miss them du due
16:36
Speaker 1: to flooding last week. In blocks per game, it's Rebecca
16:39
Speaker 1: Soaurs of Mount Baker four point six blocks per game
16:42
Speaker 1: as a huge number. And yeah, so congratulations to all
16:47
Speaker 1: them for leading those specific categories. And now it's time
16:50
Speaker 1: for the Player of the Week. And of course that's
16:52
Speaker 1: brought to you by Anytime Fitness checked them out in Linden,
16:55
Speaker 1: Linden North and Ferndale. The Anytime Fitness Player of the
16:59
Speaker 1: Week is Rebecca Sores of Mount Baker the Junior Center. Who. Man,
17:06
Speaker 1: she's been doing some good things. That win over SDRO
17:09
Speaker 1: WOOLLI she had a triple double with points, rebounds and blocks.
17:14
Speaker 1: She nearly had another one against Bellingham. She's really really
17:18
Speaker 1: been putting up the numbers and I think she's starting
17:20
Speaker 1: to show the domination that we all kind of knew
17:25
Speaker 1: she had in her and her teammates are playing very
17:28
Speaker 1: very well too. And you know, there was such a
17:31
Speaker 1: young team last year, but they all have that extra
17:32
Speaker 1: year of experience. Bringing by Fox into the mix helps
17:37
Speaker 1: as well. So so yeah, I think that I think
17:41
Speaker 1: it's it's a much improved team. And and so congratulations
17:44
Speaker 1: to Rebecca soaur As of Mount Baker. She is your
17:47
Speaker 1: Anytime Fitness Player of the Week. Let's shift our attention
17:51
Speaker 1: to boys basketball. The Natalie Scoreboards again. They're brought to
17:54

Speaker 1: them online at mosiconstruction dot com. That's mosimc EERI Construction
18:39
Speaker 1: dot com. Well, let's take a look at the standings.
18:43
Speaker 1: Nifsak Valley. Of course, they did not play this week,
18:46
Speaker 1: so they are still the lone undefeated team at two
18:49
Speaker 1: and oh Linden and Lynnen Christian are both three and one.
18:52
Speaker 1: Mount Baker is two and one. See Home and Blaine
18:57
Speaker 1: are each three and two. Lemonade and of course had
19:00
Speaker 1: that tie earlier in the year, so there are two
19:02
Speaker 1: to one and one. Squalkam is two and two, Bellingham
19:05
Speaker 1: one and two, Ferndale and Meridian both still looking for
19:09
Speaker 1: their first win. I don't think Ferndale played this past
19:11
Speaker 1: week either. The things that stood out this week Lena Christian.
19:15
Speaker 1: The Lenda Christian elimination game was electric. I mean, great atmosphere,
19:19
Speaker 1: two great teams. I think they're both, you know, really
19:25
Speaker 1: happy that they played each other. It's only going to
19:27
Speaker 1: help them. These are two teams that deal that play
19:29
Speaker 1: in a lot of blowouts, so for them to play
19:32
Speaker 1: a close game I think was great for both of them.
19:37
Speaker 1: Mount Baker, you know, they took it on the chin
19:39
Speaker 1: against Sejer Wooley, but then they came back and had
19:42
Speaker 1: two strong wins, including a big win at home against Bellingham.
19:47
Speaker 1: They got up to a great star at the BayHawks
19:49
Speaker 1: came back, but they were able to fend them off
19:51
Speaker 1: a little bit. See them and Blaine both above five hundred.
19:54
Speaker 1: They played each other out of Blaine High School. Xavier
19:57
Speaker 1: Kelly went off in that one, especially late. They were
20:00
Speaker 1: able to pull away there. So squal comes start off
20:03
Speaker 1: the year two and zero, another two and two. It's
20:05
Speaker 1: going to be hard to, uh, you know, to maintain
20:10
Speaker 1: that five hundred or above record with Hunter Callaway still out.
20:14
Speaker 1: They do have some nice pieces, but it's a really,
20:17
Speaker 1: really tough conference. Let's take a look at the stat
20:20
Speaker 1: leaders again, brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in
20:24

Speaker 1: his speed, his like his blowbye speed and his ability
20:54
Speaker 1: to get off the ground so quickly in the way
20:57
Speaker 1: that he attacks. It does multiple things. It really it
21:02
Speaker 1: allows him to score points, but a boy, it really
21:04
Speaker 1: gets the other team in foul trouble and that's that's
21:09
Speaker 1: a great, great thing and for Linn and Christian and
21:12
Speaker 1: he's just such an explosive player. It's just so fun
21:14
Speaker 1: to watch. Field goal percentage, it's Cole Terrell of Seaholmes
21:18
Speaker 1: still leading the way. He's right at sixty nine percent
21:20
Speaker 1: on the season. And free throw percentage. There's multiple players
21:24
Speaker 1: that are still at one hundred percent but the player
21:26
Speaker 1: that who has made the most is Brian Larley of
21:29
Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley. He is six for six on the year
21:32
Speaker 1: and three point percentage. It's Marcus Caanan of Lindon. He's
21:35
Speaker 1: at eighty three point three percent. He is five for
21:38
Speaker 1: six on the year and shooting threes. Holy cow. In
21:42
Speaker 1: rebounds per game, it's the big center from elimination, Chase
21:46
Speaker 1: wait Keller. He's averaging thirteen point three rebounds a game.
21:50
Speaker 1: And assists per game. It's Nolan Wright of Seahome the
21:53
Speaker 1: senior at seven point four assists per game. And steals
21:56
Speaker 1: per game. It's Joe Harward of Bellingham. He's still at
21:59
Speaker 1: four steels per game, man, excuse me. And in blocks
22:05
Speaker 1: per game, it's Caden Veldman of Lyndon Christian who's averaging
22:08
Speaker 1: four blocks a contest. So congratulations to all those players.
22:13
Speaker 1: There's a few new ones. Most of them are still
22:16
Speaker 1: the same, but a few new ones out there with
22:18
Speaker 1: Marcus Kanan Nolan Wright. It's time to check out who
22:22

Speaker 1: Fitness in Linden, Linden North and Ferndale and the Anytime
22:31
Speaker 1: Fitness Player of the Week is Lyndon Christian Junior Dawson heintz.
22:36
Speaker 1: My goodness, what a start to the season it's been
22:40
Speaker 1: for him. And a couple of big wins this week
22:42
Speaker 1: of course, over Mount Vernon on the road and then
22:45
Speaker 1: at home against Elimination, and he had huge games in both.
22:48
Speaker 1: He had dunks in both games. He is really starting
22:51
Speaker 1: to separate himself on the boys side. He is your
22:54
Speaker 1: Anytime Fitness Player of the Week. Well, let's take a
22:59
Speaker 1: look at the upcoming week and see what's the big
23:01
Speaker 1: things to look at each week. And on Monday in
23:04
Speaker 1: boys basketball, how about Linden at Lakewood at seven fifteen.
23:09
Speaker 1: You know, this was the district championship game last year
23:12
Speaker 1: and it came right down to a buzzer beater. So
23:14
Speaker 1: I'm really thinking that this could be another great, great
23:17
Speaker 1: one that could come right down to the end. Check
23:20
Speaker 1: that out. Linden at Lakewood Monday night, seven fifteen. On Tuesday,
23:24
Speaker 1: got a couple of things here that look pretty good.
23:26
Speaker 1: Boys swimming Ferndale at Seahome at three thirty. This will
23:29
Speaker 1: be at the Arnie Hanna Aquatic Center, Ferndale. Pretty good
23:33
Speaker 1: squad of course, Oden Overson and those guys and See
23:36
Speaker 1: Home yet to have a meet yet, so it's kind
23:38
Speaker 1: of curious to see how this will go. That'll be
23:41
Speaker 1: at three thirty on Tuesday at the Arnie Hanna Aquatic
23:44
Speaker 1: Center and then for you See Home fans later on
23:46
Speaker 1: that evening at Mount Baker Girls Basketball See Home at
23:50
Speaker 1: Mount Baker seven to fifteen. This is a great matchup.
23:53
Speaker 1: I think both schools I think I said were four
23:56
Speaker 1: and one right now, and there's a great tie in
23:58
Speaker 1: here of course, which stensgar Seahome. She used the former
24:03
Speaker 1: coach of Mount Baker led them to their only girls
24:05
Speaker 1: basketball state championship. That was a that was a while back,
24:11
Speaker 1: so I think that's a I just I love the
24:15
Speaker 1: connections there. You know, one of the players on her
24:18
Speaker 1: team was Jessica Sorros, who is an assistant now for
24:21
Speaker 1: Mount Baker, so that would be cool for them to
24:23
Speaker 1: see each other again. And yeah, it's just I love
24:27
Speaker 1: those kinds of tie ins and different things like that.
24:30
Speaker 1: So it should be a great game. Last year, I
24:31
Speaker 1: think it went into overtime or it was a one
24:33
Speaker 1: point gamer. It was something really close. This year out
24:36
Speaker 1: at the Deming Dome seven fifteen Tuesday night on Wednesday,
24:41
Speaker 1: about girls wrestling Lakewood, Meridian and Mount Baker at Squalicum
24:47
Speaker 1: that'll start at six o'clock. Some really good wrestlers there
24:51
Speaker 1: to look to look at, you know, as as far
24:54
Speaker 1: as you know. Squalicum obviously with Claire Hume, Mount Baker
24:58
Speaker 1: Meridian are traditionally really really good up and down the
25:01
Speaker 1: roster there and girls wrestling, so so there should be
25:04
Speaker 1: some really good matches there. And then also boys basketball
25:07
Speaker 1: Seagow Woollie at Lyndon Christian at seven fifteen. I don't
25:12
Speaker 1: follow the scatget teams a ton, but I've heard Segrow
25:14
Speaker 1: Woollie is really really good. They took it to Mount
25:16
Speaker 1: Baker beat him by I think around close to forty.
25:20
Speaker 1: And Lynny Christian you know, traditionally obviously very good. So
25:24
Speaker 1: I think this could be a great matchup. Seageolie at
25:26
Speaker 1: Lenny Christian Wednesday night, seven fifteen. Check it out on
25:30
Speaker 1: Thursday night. How about girls basketball Lynn and Christian at
25:34
Speaker 1: Seahome at seven point fifteen. Another really good matchup here.
25:41
Speaker 1: I really like, you know, Seahome has some good length
25:46
Speaker 1: and I think that can help against Lenny Christian, who's
25:49
Speaker 1: traditionally got really good length. So both teams can shoot it,
25:53
Speaker 1: both teams can handle the ball, both teams can play defense,
25:56
Speaker 1: and so I think this could be a really good matchup.
25:58
Speaker 1: That's Thursday night Lenny Christian at Seahome at seven fifteen,
26:03
Speaker 1: and then on Friday there's a doubleheader out at Blaine
26:05
Speaker 1: Girls then Boys Meridian at Blaine five thirties, seven fifteen.
26:10
Speaker 1: I think that those are going to be really good
26:12
Speaker 1: matchups there. Check that out. I love it when there's
26:14
Speaker 1: a doubleheader both Farsty games. You can just set up
26:17
Speaker 1: camp and watch two games. Boom boom. It's the way
26:20
Speaker 1: to go. So check that out on Friday night, and
26:22
Speaker 1: then on Saturday the big thing. How about boys wrestling
26:25
Speaker 1: the Graham morn Tournament at Squalkum High School that starts
26:28
Speaker 1: at nine thirty in the morning a lot of schools.
26:33
Speaker 1: I did meet Graham mooreen years ago. I covered him
26:37
Speaker 1: when he was at Squalicum as a football player and
26:40
Speaker 1: a wrestler back in the late nineties early two thousands,
26:47
Speaker 1: and yeah, just an awesome young man that his life
26:51
Speaker 1: was taken way too early. And I believe a two
26:54
Speaker 1: time state champion. I'm pretty sure I'm right about that,
26:58
Speaker 1: and gossam that they have the tournament in his honor
27:01
Speaker 1: out at schoolcum High School again. That'll be at nine
27:03
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning on Saturday, so check that out.
27:07
Speaker 1: Holy cow, I made it through it. I know it's
27:11
Speaker 1: probably a little shorter than usual, but I needed to
27:13
Speaker 1: kind of zip through this a little bit before I
27:15
Speaker 1: lost my voice, and I think I did okay again.
