- 1:25Speaker 2: what I mean, Like it just seems like a mean,
- 1:28Speaker 2: nasty like you know, I don't know one of those

- 1:39Speaker 3: fifty oh quiet, quiet kid, but but helped out at
- 1:43Speaker 3: the youth football camp as well. Was one of the
- 1:45Speaker 3: it was one of the big time senior athletes that
- 1:47Speaker 3: came out and helped out. So really really cool, really
- 1:50Speaker 3: cool deal.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Tyler, we got a new well, we wrote up a
- 1:54Speaker 2: new one. I copied and pasted some stuff from their website.
- 1:57Speaker 2: But hey, Kurt Mayberry Farm, we need to give a
- 1:59Speaker 2: thing thank you to them. Kurtmayberry Farm dot com is
- 2:01Speaker 2: their website. Did you know, Tyler that Kurt Mayberry Farmer
- 2:04Speaker 2: is a family farm committed to developing innovative agronomic and
- 2:08Speaker 2: business practices to grow, process, and market high quality berries.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Kurt Mayberry Farm is the Northwest berry supplier of choice.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Check them out online. That's Kurt with a CMA B
- 2:19Speaker 2: E R Ry farm dot com. It's gonna take me
- 2:22Speaker 2: a while to get that one down, but I've already
- 2:24Speaker 2: forgot the old one, Tyler. You know why because we
- 2:26Speaker 2: deleted it off the show sheet. Hey, Tyler, if people
- 2:29Speaker 2: want to get ahold of you about sponsorships like Kurt
- 2:32Speaker 2: Mayberry Farm or any of the other ones. We got
- 2:34Speaker 2: Marty Staffer, We've got well Stoffer Insurance, We've got Anytime Fitness,
- 2:39Speaker 2: We've got what is an acroasher. All kinds of different sponsors,
- 2:43Speaker 2: all kinds of different things. I left a lot of
- 2:45Speaker 2: them out because I can't even remember them all. But
- 2:48Speaker 2: we still need more sponsors, and there's still a lot
- 2:51Speaker 2: of stuff to sponsor. I mean, heck, somebody could sponsor
- 2:53Speaker 2: the Randy small Weather forecast, I guess. I mean, I
- 2:56Speaker 2: don't know the fantasy football stuff where I talked trash
- 2:59Speaker 2: to Tyler and then last week I lost the pickups.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I mean, that'd be a good one. We talk about
- 3:04Speaker 2: it every week. The the what's it called? The graphic
- 3:08Speaker 2: gets a lot of you know, a lot of action
- 3:10Speaker 2: on it. I mean, how do they get a hold
- 3:12Speaker 2: of you? Give me a couple of ideas of some
- 3:15Speaker 2: stuff they could sponsor that are football related.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Yeah, football related. It's you know, everything you just mentioned
- 3:20Speaker 3: right there. Plus if there's a specific team that you
- 3:25Speaker 3: wanted to sponsor for football, because every single team gets
- 3:27Speaker 3: a write up every single weekend about what happened on
- 3:30Speaker 3: Friday night, and and so your logo could be in
- 3:34Speaker 3: that story. And those stories get a ton of clicks,
- 3:36Speaker 3: let me tell you, so you get a lot of
- 3:38Speaker 3: eyeballs on That best way to get a hold of
- 3:40Speaker 3: me is on social media, you know, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
- 3:46Speaker 3: x whatever it is now, those kinds of things that
- 3:49Speaker 3: that's just the that's just the best way to get
- 3:51Speaker 3: a hold of me. And and just throw something out
- 3:54Speaker 3: there and say, hey, I'm interested. Let's work together, Let's
- 3:56Speaker 3: figure out something we could do and we can just
- 3:59Speaker 3: talk from that. We'll figure out a good time to
- 4:01Speaker 3: talk on the phone, and then we'll just you know,
- 4:04Speaker 3: strike up whatever whatever works best for both of us.
- 4:07Speaker 3: And so far, there's been a lot of positivity, you know,
- 4:11Speaker 3: I mean, uh, you know a lot of people have said, hey,
- 4:14Speaker 3: this is great because you know people are coming in
- 4:16Speaker 3: and talking about this and and and that's that's I
- 4:20Speaker 3: love to hear that. You know, Marty talks about that
- 4:22Speaker 3: all the time where so many parents will come up
- 4:25Speaker 3: to him and say thank you so much for sponsoring
- 4:27Speaker 3: you know, this sport or that sport, and and so
- 4:30Speaker 3: he loves to hear that because he knows the words
- 4:32Speaker 3: getting out there about stoff for insurance. So uh so, yeah,
- 4:36Speaker 3: it's a it's a really really good thing and and
- 4:38Speaker 3: it's something that can help me keep going and get
- 4:41Speaker 3: bigger and better. And that's always what I want to do.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I want this to get you know, I want this
- 4:46Speaker 3: to just keep rolling along and for it to be
- 4:49Speaker 3: kind of the not the standalone, but heck if it
- 4:52Speaker 3: has to be the standalone you know, the place to
- 4:55Speaker 3: go to look up for anything, you know, walking county
- 4:57Speaker 3: high school sports. And that's that's my goal.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know it's what is softare insurances? What
- 5:04Speaker 2: you say? You just told me a minute ago, and
- 5:06Speaker 2: I already forgot. What are they doing?
- 5:07Speaker 3: Well, they're doing boys and girls cross country right now
- 5:09Speaker 3: in the falls?
- 5:10Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so boys and girls cross country? What do
- 5:13Speaker 2: they do? Swim and dive or something. At one point
- 5:15Speaker 2: I can't even remember.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Boys swimming dive in the winter and then boys and
- 5:18Speaker 3: girls track and field in the spring.
- 5:19Speaker 2: That's right, So Sotoff for insurance, huge sponsors. As you
- 5:22Speaker 2: mentioned by the way, you might even hear a little
- 5:25Speaker 2: bit more about Marty later on in the show. I
- 5:28Speaker 2: don't want to I don't want to drop any hints,
- 5:29Speaker 2: but you might hear about him. But yeah, Tyler, there
- 5:33Speaker 2: are other sports going on right now. You did mention
- 5:36Speaker 2: to me that there has actually been basically no reason
- 5:39Speaker 2: to give software insurance any pub so far because the
- 5:42Speaker 2: cross country hasn't really got going. But there's some stuff
- 5:44Speaker 2: going on this weekend. Maybe you've been out of some stuff.
- 5:47Speaker 2: There's what's going on with the other sports right now.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a lot of things are starting up
- 5:51Speaker 3: right now. You know, there was a little bit of
- 5:53Speaker 3: soccer and volleyball last week, but this week it's really
- 5:55Speaker 3: kicked up with with there was every single team was
- 5:58Speaker 3: in action on Tuesday for soccer, some of them against
- 6:01Speaker 3: each other, some not, and so that was a lot
- 6:05Speaker 3: of fun making that scoreboard, get every single graphic out there,
- 6:08Speaker 3: every logo out there, and so far everyone's been pretty
- 6:12Speaker 3: good at you know, the girls soccer community is really
- 6:16Speaker 3: excited about walking preps coverage right now because I was
- 6:21Speaker 3: a little late to it last year and I just thought, Okay,
- 6:23Speaker 3: I'll do it next year. And now that I did
- 6:25Speaker 3: boy soccer in the spring, taking on girls soccer right
- 6:28Speaker 3: now in the fall has been really really positive. Gets
- 6:30Speaker 3: A you know when I post something about girl soccer,
- 6:33Speaker 3: it blows up pretty well. Volleyball, you know, it's a
- 6:36Speaker 3: little bit more sporadic, where there's a game, you know,
- 6:39Speaker 3: a couple of games here this night, a couple of
- 6:40Speaker 3: games there that night, and it just kind of goes
- 6:43Speaker 3: like that. I was out at Bellingham on Tuesday night
- 6:46Speaker 3: there against Mary's Villegetchel. I was out tonight. We're recording this.
- 6:50Speaker 3: On Wednesday, I was out at Seahome. They were taking
- 6:52Speaker 3: on Mount Baker and Lindy Christian was down in Mount Vernon.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Got the win there. So so volleyball, you know, did
- 6:57Speaker 3: a lot of jamborees and now they're starting to roll
- 6:59Speaker 3: into it. I think all the teams are gonna get
- 7:01Speaker 3: some play in this week and and then uh and
- 7:03Speaker 3: the boys tennis too. I was out at Sea Home Ferndale.
- 7:06Speaker 3: See them looks really really sharp. Uh, they have a great,
- 7:10Speaker 3: great team. See them in Bellingham both when they when
- 7:13Speaker 3: they face off, it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be
- 7:16Speaker 3: incredible for for tennis, and you know, it's it's one
- 7:19Speaker 3: of those where there you're gonna look at some big
- 7:23Speaker 3: time singles and doubles going to state and doing some
- 7:25Speaker 3: good things. Of course we have to wait till for
- 7:27Speaker 3: May for that just because of how how crazy the
- 7:30Speaker 3: weather gets and stuff like that. But but there's some
- 7:32Speaker 3: big time teams, uh, big time athletes and belling him
- 7:36Speaker 3: and see them. So so yeah, there's been all sorts
- 7:39Speaker 3: of things. You know, Like Tuesday, I went to three
- 7:41Speaker 3: different events, three different sports, all in one night. And
- 7:44Speaker 3: and it's a lot of fun just kind of run
- 7:46Speaker 3: around getting pictures and meeting parents and different people and
- 7:50Speaker 3: and yeah, everyone's very very appreciative. And cross country will start,
- 7:54Speaker 3: you know, doing its thing on Saturday and and uh
- 7:58Speaker 3: then it's gonna start really rolling here, so uh and
- 8:01Speaker 3: same thing with uh with girls swimming. That's that's that's
- 8:04Speaker 3: starting up I think later this week, so maybe by
- 8:07Speaker 3: the time you're hearing this, it will be already starting
- 8:09Speaker 3: to go. So uh, yeah, a lot of stuff going
- 8:12Speaker 3: on right now, and it's it's a lot of fun.
- 8:15Speaker 3: And because last last fall, all I was doing was
- 8:18Speaker 3: football and volleyball.
- 8:19Speaker 2: That was it, yep.
- 8:21Speaker 3: And so now I'm you know, attacking everything and and
- 8:24Speaker 3: seeing how it can all work. And I'm juggling it
- 8:27Speaker 3: decently well right now. So it's, uh, you know, there's
- 8:31Speaker 3: still a lot going on at home obviously, miss Walker
- 8:33Speaker 3: Preps just said surgery on Tuesday, So still trying to
- 8:36Speaker 3: kind of make sure she's okay and and uh, but everything.
- 8:41Speaker 4: We're getting a lot of help there. So it's it's
- 8:43Speaker 4: all positive. It's been a lot of fun, Tyler. I
- 8:45Speaker 4: heard you mention girls soccer. You know who's very happy
- 8:49Speaker 4: about the girl soccer coverage on Walkome Preps. Who's that
- 8:53Speaker 4: North County Alliance FC? Because they are the sponsors and
- 8:56Speaker 4: they love it.
- 8:57Speaker 2: They love it. They get all kinds of traction from
- 9:00Speaker 2: that one. So yeah, just I mean, I'm telling you people,
- 9:05Speaker 2: there's lots of stuff still to go here, lots of
- 9:07Speaker 2: stuff to sponsor. And I mean, heck, if at this
- 9:10Speaker 2: point they wanted to even reach out about the winter,
- 9:12Speaker 2: they can. I mean, they could reach out and say, hey,
- 9:15Speaker 2: what do you got for wrestling? Hook me up? All
- 9:18Speaker 2: let's go anyway, Tyler, we've got ten games to talk
- 9:23Speaker 2: about here, football wise. We're talking football now. Enough of
- 9:26Speaker 2: those other sports. Let's get into football here, because this
- 9:28Speaker 2: is the football preview Tyler, which by the way, I'm
- 9:32Speaker 2: the one that said, hey, we should mention the other sports,
- 9:34Speaker 2: so I guess I talked myself into that one. Randy
- 9:36Speaker 2: Small's weather forecast. We've got the pick'em's, and you and
- 9:40Speaker 2: I still need to pick our fantasy teams. So we
- 9:43Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff to get to here. Let's
- 9:45Speaker 2: talk about it. We got nine games on Friday, one
- 9:51Speaker 2: of them starting at six pm, the rest of them
- 9:53Speaker 2: starting at seven pm. Tyler O mac Owen one headed
- 9:59Speaker 2: to take on Meridian over here at Meridian High School.
- 10:04Speaker 2: The Trojans one and zero on the season six pm.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Omak one of those schools that, like as the crow flies,
- 10:11Speaker 2: if you'll say it, like, it's actually not all that
- 10:14Speaker 2: far away, but getting to and from we kind of
- 10:17Speaker 2: talked about it before, is a little bit of a trek.
- 10:19Speaker 2: But uh is there much history with Omak in the
- 10:22Speaker 2: as far as Walkham County goes.
- 10:24Speaker 3: A little bit here and there. Lynden Christian former Linden
- 10:28Speaker 3: Christian great player Galen kme Inc. From the mid seventies,
- 10:32Speaker 3: he was the head coach at Omac won a state
- 10:34Speaker 3: title in two thousand against Meridian, so so there was
- 10:39Speaker 3: a little bit there that was just a crazy I
- 10:42Speaker 3: think it was like forty two to twenty seven. Meridian
- 10:44Speaker 3: had like a twenty eight game winning streak or something
- 10:47Speaker 3: crazy like that, and uh so, yeah, so there's a
- 10:51Speaker 3: little bit there. I think Omack has played Linden Christian
- 10:54Speaker 3: a little bit, like ten years ago when Galen came in,
- 10:57Speaker 3: he took he took over for Dan kam Ink as
- 10:59Speaker 3: the head coach, which for a while until Dan came back.
- 11:02Speaker 3: So there's, uh, there's been a little bit there. But
- 11:04Speaker 3: I haven't seen an Omac game and forever, but uh so, yeah,
- 11:08Speaker 3: this will be this will be interesting. I'll be there
- 11:11Speaker 3: at least for the first bit because it is a
- 11:13Speaker 3: six pm game, So that's nice when there's one of
- 11:16Speaker 3: those and it's local, and that means I can definitely
- 11:19Speaker 3: go there catch at least, you know, the first half
- 11:22Speaker 3: before I head out to another game and and not
- 11:24Speaker 3: have to worry really about anything else going on. So
- 11:27Speaker 3: so I'm really curious to see that one. Uh you know,
- 11:30Speaker 3: I want to see how much bigger and badder this
- 11:33Speaker 3: this Meridian team with with basically almost everybody coming back. Uh,
- 11:37Speaker 3: and they have some really big dudes, and and uh,
- 11:41Speaker 3: just I just want to see how it all gels because, uh,
- 11:45Speaker 3: they got a few winnable non conference games here ahead
- 11:49Speaker 3: of them. When they can get on a roll going
- 11:51Speaker 3: into the conference season, that'd be huge. And I've noticed that,
- 11:55Speaker 3: you know, it's really weird for a team that didn't
- 11:57Speaker 3: win a conference game last year. I'm noticing on other
- 11:59Speaker 3: public that they're ranked in the top ten in the state.
- 12:02Speaker 3: I just kind of thought, Okay, are they are they
- 12:05Speaker 3: really paying attention to what I'm saying or are they
- 12:07Speaker 3: listening to other people or what's going on? Because how
- 12:10Speaker 3: would they look at a team that didn't win a
- 12:12Speaker 3: conference game last year and have them in the top
- 12:14Speaker 3: ten in the state right now. So, but there's a
- 12:17Speaker 3: lot I guess what I'm saying is there's a lot
- 12:19Speaker 3: of there's a lot of talk, there's a lot of hubbub,
- 12:22Speaker 3: there's a lot of this going around about Meridians potential
- 12:25Speaker 3: this year. So so that's exciting. And and you know,
- 12:28Speaker 3: I didn't get to see them up close last week.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Obviously I watched the film, but it's going to be
- 12:33Speaker 3: a lot of fun to see them up.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Close, you know, Tyler, I didn't even think about it.
- 12:36Speaker 2: But because there are ten games, that does mean there's
- 12:40Speaker 2: not a single game with two teams from the county
- 12:42Speaker 2: playing each other, which for you is like a nightmare.
- 12:45Speaker 3: I mean it's not only a long weekend.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Yeah, not only do you have to do stats for
- 12:50Speaker 2: ten games, but you can't even like find one game
- 12:55Speaker 2: where you can go see two teams, you know, like
- 12:58Speaker 2: normally the normally the thing for you would be like,
- 13:01Speaker 2: you know, oh, let's let's go out to you know,
- 13:04Speaker 2: oh mac Meridian for a little bit and then get
- 13:06Speaker 2: to Civic and watch, you know, see Home versus Mount
- 13:09Speaker 2: Baker and do the stats on that one so I
- 13:12Speaker 2: don't have to watch the film at home to you know,
- 13:14Speaker 2: like normally that's the type of thing that you would
- 13:16Speaker 2: do to try to save yourself some here.
- 13:18Speaker 3: But you can't even do it. And usually when there's
- 13:20Speaker 3: a weekend where there's all ten, like ten games, usually
- 13:23Speaker 3: there's one on Thursday or something, so I can.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Maybe a one pm and a seven pm on Saturday
- 13:29Speaker 2: or something.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Way and I can kind of knock them out. I
- 13:32Speaker 3: love the Thursday ones because I can. I'll usually go
- 13:35Speaker 3: to it if it's local. Yeah, I get one out
- 13:36Speaker 3: of the way, and then I'll take all my stats
- 13:38Speaker 3: while I'm there, take pictures. I'll get home, I'll write
- 13:41Speaker 3: the story before I even go to bed, and then
- 13:43Speaker 3: one's one's out the door. I got one in the
- 13:45Speaker 3: bag already. And so this is gonna be a little crazy.
- 13:49Speaker 3: You know. MICHAELA And Jeff are going to help out
- 13:51Speaker 3: a ton, go into games and writing stories, but I
- 13:54Speaker 3: still have to you know, do pictures and graphics and
- 13:58Speaker 3: stats and and edit and then you know public you
- 14:02Speaker 3: know public publicated or whatever, you know, get it actually
- 14:06Speaker 3: you know hosted. Yeah, there is there's stuff to do that,
- 14:10Speaker 3: you know. So it is going to be time consuming
- 14:12Speaker 3: and and holy cow, I mean it's almost a good
- 14:16Speaker 3: thing that the Saturday game is not local, because sometimes
- 14:19Speaker 3: I feel like when I go to a.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Game, yeah, it's just taking away time.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of kind of taken away time. I'll
- 14:24Speaker 3: have the if it's on, if it's on NFA Jazz,
- 14:26Speaker 3: which I hope it is, then I'll have it on
- 14:29Speaker 3: in the background. So but I'll be I'll be just
- 14:32Speaker 3: in the office, just just burn and oil.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Yea. Well, I mean, especially when you think about it too,
- 14:37Speaker 2: like if it was at Knooksack or say Baker, Well,
- 14:40Speaker 2: the time driving to and from yeah alone is time
- 14:44Speaker 2: that you could be hammering out another game, you know.
- 14:46Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I mean it is kind of a
- 14:49Speaker 2: good thing in a way, but also like maybe you
- 14:51Speaker 2: could get that one done while you're there type thing
- 14:53Speaker 2: or you know what I'm saying.
- 14:54Speaker 3: But sure, yeah, and it takes me. I mean, if
- 14:57Speaker 3: i'm if I'm not distracted and I just go, takes
- 15:00Speaker 3: me about three hours per per game to.
- 15:03Speaker 2: Do a story. Lord Tyler, I don't know how you
- 15:05Speaker 2: do that.
- 15:05Speaker 3: So it's so it's like, you know, but that's it.
- 15:09Speaker 3: That's it. There's no distractions because I got to watch
- 15:10Speaker 3: the game film once to get offensive stats, and then
- 15:14Speaker 3: I watch it again to do defensive There's there's a
- 15:16Speaker 3: reason I do it that way. It's hard to explain.
- 15:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but then I.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Watch it a third time, especially if it was a
- 15:22Speaker 3: good game, so I can get the feel for the game,
- 15:24Speaker 3: like what down was that? When that happened? Like stuff
- 15:26Speaker 3: like that, Because if I'm taking stats, I don't I'm
- 15:28Speaker 3: not looking at that stuff. I'm kind of doing it robotically.
- 15:32Speaker 3: I'm not getting the flow of the game, so uh
- 15:34Speaker 3: and then so then I'm writing down notes like oh,
- 15:37Speaker 3: this was the third drive and it went you know,
- 15:39Speaker 3: eighty yards on sixteen plays or whatever. And then from
- 15:43Speaker 3: there then it's you know, find a good picture and
- 15:45Speaker 3: do the graphic and then put the box score in
- 15:49Speaker 3: and then start writing. I do the writing last because
- 15:51Speaker 3: I hate the writing part. But but yeah, so there
- 15:55Speaker 3: is a lot of time to it. And then once
- 15:57Speaker 3: I post it, and I got to post it here
- 15:59Speaker 3: and post it there, and post it here, post it there,
- 16:00Speaker 3: and then it's okay, go to the next film and then.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Go And then once I find a few mistakes in
- 16:06Speaker 2: the articles, you gotta go back and do that too,
- 16:08Speaker 2: all right, Tyler, let's talk Meridian, or excuse me, not Meridian.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Actually I should go back O mac on one Meridian
- 16:14Speaker 2: one and oh six pm at Meridian High School. Mariner
- 16:18Speaker 2: ohen one, uh South Everett for those of you that
- 16:21Speaker 2: don't know, Mariner, Mariner, Marauders by the way, uh on
- 16:26Speaker 2: one at the Linden Lions one and oh uh seven pm,
- 16:30Speaker 2: Tyler Mariner. I would imagine there's at least a little
- 16:33Speaker 2: bit of history there, but maybe not a ton because
- 16:35Speaker 2: they've always kind of been one of the bigger schools,
- 16:37Speaker 2: but I know Seahome was four A at one point.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Mariner has had some very good teams over the years,
- 16:45Speaker 2: but they've really struggled the last few years. And uh,
- 16:48Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember who they played recently or who
- 16:50Speaker 2: do they play. Oh they lost, Yeah they lost really
- 16:53Speaker 2: bad to Sedro Woolle last week. But yeah, Mariner Lindon,
- 16:57Speaker 2: you told me there's a little bit of a story
- 16:58Speaker 2: for how this game came to together.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I've just remember that Linden was really struggling
- 17:04Speaker 3: on finding a week two game. I mean they had
- 17:06Speaker 3: I think they had like a few of them kind
- 17:08Speaker 3: of locked in at some point and it fell apart
- 17:11Speaker 3: like during basketball season, you know, kind of late in
- 17:15Speaker 3: basket seem like February, and they still hadn't still hadn't
- 17:18Speaker 3: you know, locked in anything. And it just turned into
- 17:21Speaker 3: like this is really what they could find kind of
- 17:24Speaker 3: last second. So it's probably not ideal. It's a team's
- 17:28Speaker 3: kind of going in opposite directions. But I tell you what,
- 17:32Speaker 3: this will be a fun one to go to because
- 17:33Speaker 3: we'll be that first game of the year at London
- 17:35Speaker 3: and they're just gonna pack that house. It's gonna be crazy.
- 17:38Speaker 3: The band's gonna be blairing loud. But also at halftime,
- 17:42Speaker 3: they're going to honor Kirk kramey. Uh, They're gonna put
- 17:45Speaker 3: a plaque of his next to Roli to costers at
- 17:49Speaker 3: the stadium. His family's going to be there, stuff like that.
- 17:51Speaker 3: So that's going to be just a really awesome event.
- 17:56Speaker 3: And I mean, Kirk krame was just, you know, just
- 17:59Speaker 3: one of the lead of Walking County is And he
- 18:02Speaker 3: even goes back to his playing days where he was
- 18:04Speaker 3: the quarterback on Walking County's first ever state championship football team,
- 18:09Speaker 3: and then he becomes a head coach and his first
- 18:12Speaker 3: year he wins a state title and he goes on
- 18:14Speaker 3: to win so many more that I don't even know
- 18:16Speaker 3: the exact number. I want to say he wons six
- 18:19Speaker 3: or seven total. See, that's it's crazy because I don't
- 18:23Speaker 3: I don't know the exact number.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Which is wild if you don't know it off the
- 18:27Speaker 2: top of your head.
- 18:28Speaker 3: I exactly, Yeah, it's it's it's that many. And he
- 18:31Speaker 3: played in other state title games, lost two years in
- 18:34Speaker 3: a row to Bellevue in the early two thousands when
- 18:36Speaker 3: they get really things rolling there. That was when they
- 18:38Speaker 3: were three a So, I mean, yeah, just such an
- 18:43Speaker 3: impressive career and and a fun guy to talk football with,
- 18:47Speaker 3: you know, because he looked at things very differently than
- 18:50Speaker 3: most coaches. You know, a lot of coaches are pe teachers,
- 18:55Speaker 3: weightlifting teachers. He was a math teacher. You know, he
- 18:58Speaker 3: was just he was just a different and a guy
- 19:00Speaker 3: and it was fun to pick his brains about certain things.
- 19:03Speaker 3: And and you know, I, you know, it's it's I
- 19:08Speaker 3: always kicked myself for not getting to know him sooner,
- 19:11Speaker 3: but you know, I became friendly with him at near
- 19:14Speaker 3: you know, the last few years of his life, and
- 19:15Speaker 3: so I you know, I still have interviews that I
- 19:18Speaker 3: have on you know, audio recorded that I can go
- 19:22Speaker 3: back and listen to and hear his voice and talking
- 19:24Speaker 3: about certain players, and that's really cool to actually have that.
- 19:27Speaker 3: So but yeah, this game is gonna be you know,
- 19:31Speaker 3: it's gonna be a little bit of a mismatch most likely.
- 19:33Speaker 3: But but boy, I tell you what, the atmosphere there
- 19:36Speaker 3: is just going to be fantastic. And and Mikayla will
- 19:40Speaker 3: be out at that one and and I could imagine
- 19:43Speaker 3: it's still gonna be a packed house even though it's
- 19:45Speaker 3: a non conference game.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure the people are just fired up for
- 19:49Speaker 2: that game. I mean that they could be playing you know,
- 19:52Speaker 2: Linden Middle School and they'd probably be fired up for it.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Well. That's the thing is that like last year when
- 19:57Speaker 3: they had the game canceled against Burlington, they still back
- 20:00Speaker 3: house for like scrimmage.
- 20:01Speaker 2: You know, yeah, they think that's played themselves. I mean, yeah, that.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Is just you know, that's Linden right there, that's Linden Football.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Mariner Own one, Linden one and oh seven pm out
- 20:12Speaker 2: there at Lyndon High School. Squalcum the Storm one and
- 20:16Speaker 2: oh headed down to cool Seeda Stadium. Second week in
- 20:19Speaker 2: a row, we've had a team go down there, Marysville
- 20:22Speaker 2: Pilchuck oh to one, which means somebody went down and
- 20:24Speaker 2: beat them Seahome, I believe, right, yep, Yeah, seven pm
- 20:29Speaker 2: down there at cool Seeda Stadium. You know, this is
- 20:33Speaker 2: kind of one of those funny ones where like last
- 20:34Speaker 2: week we're like, oh, you know, Marysville Pilchuck coming down
- 20:37Speaker 2: to the two way. But they have a little bit
- 20:38Speaker 2: of history. Well they've got to have some history against
- 20:40Speaker 2: Squalcum because they would have been in the same league
- 20:42Speaker 2: for a few years.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Right, absolutely, You're right, Yeah, they were. Squalkumb joined the
- 20:47Speaker 3: West Coat three and North in twenty sixteen. They were
- 20:50Speaker 3: there for a little while. They came back down, but
- 20:52Speaker 3: so there is some history there. But yeah, this is
- 20:56Speaker 3: this will be really really interesting game because Marysville Pilchuck
- 20:59Speaker 3: is huge up front and Squalkum is just not the
- 21:05Speaker 3: same squad guy, you know, they're not as huge now.
- 21:08Speaker 3: They did get they did get some trans they did
- 21:11Speaker 3: get a transfer lineman who's pretty big. He's about six three,
- 21:14Speaker 3: two fifty. They did get a couple guys, but I mean,
- 21:16Speaker 3: I'm talking Mary's Will Filcheck is like three hundred across
- 21:19Speaker 3: the board up front. So it's a different And they
- 21:22Speaker 3: want to lean on you, they want to run a
- 21:24Speaker 3: lot of clock between plays, and they want to run
- 21:27Speaker 3: the ball. So Squalkum is gonna have to find some
- 21:29Speaker 3: interesting things to do on defense to just hold them
- 21:32Speaker 3: from moving the chains basically and just getting that ball
- 21:36Speaker 3: back and do some dynamic things and and so I
- 21:40Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a really really interesting game. I
- 21:42Speaker 3: think it's gonna be another close one squalk them, I
- 21:45Speaker 3: don't know, want to say riding high from their winoff Burlington.
- 21:48Speaker 3: But I think that their team that's on the rise,
- 21:51Speaker 3: and I think they you know, putting up thirty points
- 21:54Speaker 3: there at home and was a big deal. And you
- 21:56Speaker 3: got a lot of these kids now that have been
- 21:58Speaker 3: doing the varsity thing for a while with the Mark
- 22:01Speaker 3: Snixon's and the Waukee Nortiz and these guys are now
- 22:04Speaker 3: seniors and Malachi Smith, I mean, these guys have been
- 22:07Speaker 3: doing it for a while and now they're seniors and
- 22:10Speaker 3: this is kind of their year to shine. So I
- 22:12Speaker 3: think they're out to prove some stuff. So this will
- 22:14Speaker 3: be I think it'll be a really really good game
- 22:17Speaker 3: and and uh but it's it's another one that could
- 22:20Speaker 3: go pretty quickly because like I said, the Tomahawks want
- 22:24Speaker 3: to run the ball over and over again and eat
- 22:27Speaker 3: up that clock, and Squalicum is kind of like that.
- 22:31Speaker 3: But they'll do like coach Woods said last week about
- 22:34Speaker 3: you know, a lot of play action pass, a lot
- 22:36Speaker 3: of quarterback friendly plays where you know, you see that
- 22:39Speaker 3: play in the NFL constantly where it's play action. You
- 22:42Speaker 3: roll to you're right and there's this like this tight
- 22:43Speaker 3: end or a full back just running free all by
- 22:46Speaker 3: himself and they pick up five yards and you watch
- 22:48Speaker 3: that play. I mean every team runs it, and then
- 22:50Speaker 3: you watch that play and you go, ha, come, Like,
- 22:52Speaker 3: you don't see this all the time in high school.
- 22:54Speaker 3: And it feels like the team that runs it all
- 22:56Speaker 3: the time is Squalicum. You know, they they do plays
- 22:59Speaker 3: like that to kind of help out. And it's a
- 23:01Speaker 3: first year quarterback Cole Burke, who looked really good in
- 23:04Speaker 3: Week one, so that's gonna be a little easier for
- 23:06Speaker 3: him now. And this will be the first road game,
- 23:08Speaker 3: so he'll have that first win under his belt, so
- 23:11Speaker 3: maybe he'll feel a lot more confident in this one.
- 23:13Speaker 3: But he seems like a kid that's really unfazed with stuff,
- 23:16Speaker 3: and he's a varsity athlete. He was a varsity basketball
- 23:18Speaker 3: player last year as a sophomore. So so we'll see.
- 23:22Speaker 3: I think this is going to be out of all
- 23:24Speaker 3: the games. I think this will be the closest game
- 23:27Speaker 3: this week. I mean I'm talking. You know, there are
- 23:30Speaker 3: some kind of mismatches here that you know are on
- 23:34Speaker 3: paper anyways, but when I look at this one, I
- 23:37Speaker 3: think this will be the closest game this week.
- 23:39Speaker 2: We'll just have to see, Oh look at you over
- 23:41Speaker 2: there trying to make things interesting here, you know again
- 23:47Speaker 2: squalkamb want to know Marysville Pilchuck oh on to one.
- 23:50Speaker 2: That's seven pm down at Quilsea to Stadium in Marysville, Bellingham,
- 23:54Speaker 2: oh on one. They had to Lakewood Arlington Lakewood to
- 24:00Speaker 2: take on the Cougars. They are also zero to one,
- 24:03Speaker 2: seven pm. This is a league game, now, Tyler, Yeah.
- 24:07Speaker 3: That's the first thing I was thinking it was this
- 24:09Speaker 3: is the first league game that bellinghams had in a
- 24:11Speaker 3: long time. So I want to say, my goodness, is
- 24:16Speaker 3: it this is the first league game since before COVID.
- 24:20Speaker 3: It's hard, it's.
- 24:20Speaker 2: It's it's hard for me to Yeah, it's very possible.
- 24:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I keep thinking it is.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Because they would have been Would they have been in
- 24:30Speaker 2: the league the year that they shut down the season early?
- 24:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was the last time, and that
- 24:35Speaker 3: was with coach Triplett and that was before COVID, So
- 24:38Speaker 3: so yeah, so it's been five years, and so this
- 24:43Speaker 3: is a really exciting time.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I tell you what.
- 24:45Speaker 3: The BayHawks are jacked about playing in the league. They
- 24:49Speaker 3: are really really excited, and so hopefully they can ride
- 24:53Speaker 3: that emotion. They had a really emotional game in Week
- 24:56Speaker 3: one and this will be a short week now because
- 24:58Speaker 3: they played Saturday afternoon on the road down a Memorial
- 25:02Speaker 3: Stadium looking up at the space needle there, and that
- 25:04Speaker 3: game went in a double overtime on you know, on
- 25:08Speaker 3: the turf field, and you know, if the bodies are
- 25:10Speaker 3: big recovered by then. But you know, these kids are
- 25:13Speaker 3: you know, these kids recover pretty quickly and they're not
- 25:16Speaker 3: like you and me out there.
- 25:17Speaker 2: So we should be Saturday. You and I were recording
- 25:20Speaker 2: this on Wednesday, and I don't think we have any
- 25:23Speaker 2: effects of you know, tired legs or anything. And by
- 25:26Speaker 2: this point, yeah, there you go.
- 25:27Speaker 3: So especially early in the season, that helps too. It's
- 25:30Speaker 3: not later and so but this will be you know,
- 25:34Speaker 3: a road game, conference game, like you said, first time
- 25:37Speaker 3: in a long time. What I've heard about Lakewood is
- 25:40Speaker 3: that they can put up points and they will they
- 25:43Speaker 3: will uh, they'll air it out. I heard they were
- 25:46Speaker 3: really impressive on seven on seven stuff different tournaments and
- 25:51Speaker 3: stuff like that. So I'm assuming they can throw the
- 25:54Speaker 3: ball a little bit. They always seem to find kind
- 25:56Speaker 3: of fun ways to do that. I remember watching them
- 25:59Speaker 3: put up like forty against Squalicum last year. So they
- 26:02Speaker 3: are a team that can put up points. You put
- 26:05Speaker 3: that against the Bellingham defense, that is just that's there.
- 26:09Speaker 3: That's you know, where they're gonna hang their hats, their defense.
- 26:11Speaker 3: So it's gonna be the One thing about Bellingham is
- 26:16Speaker 3: I think that if they can, if they if they
- 26:18Speaker 3: if they're blitz works, it's really gonna help. Because they
- 26:23Speaker 3: like to blitz a lot. They're very aggressive on defense,
- 26:25Speaker 3: especially with the inside linebackers, and if that can cause stuff,
- 26:29Speaker 3: could cause an errant throw to be picked off, stuff
- 26:31Speaker 3: like that, that's gonna be huge. But if the line
- 26:34Speaker 3: picks up those blitzes, it could be a long night
- 26:36Speaker 3: for Bellingham. So I think that's kind of where that
- 26:39Speaker 3: will go. Lake would gave up a lot of points
- 26:42Speaker 3: last year. Bellingham still trying to figure it out with
- 26:45Speaker 3: the with the brand new quarterback and only scored seven
- 26:47Speaker 3: points last week. So uh so, you know, it's gonna
- 26:51Speaker 3: be really interesting that they might have to hold them
- 26:53Speaker 3: to it just one or two touchdowns to stay in
- 26:56Speaker 3: this one. But again, with the emotion of playing in
- 26:59Speaker 3: their first conference game in five years, that could help
- 27:03Speaker 3: things swing a little bit for Bellingham as well. This
- 27:06Speaker 3: is one is another one I'm really looking forward.
- 27:08Speaker 2: To again Bellingham oh and one Lakewood, oh and one.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Somebody's getting their first win of the year here, Tyler.
- 27:14Speaker 2: And it's so deep in the season we can say
- 27:15Speaker 2: stuff like that, seven pm at Lakewood High School and
- 27:20Speaker 2: A Cordis want to oh, the defending state champs. They
- 27:22Speaker 2: are headed to Civic Stadium to take on the Seahome
- 27:25Speaker 2: Mariners also want to oh seven pm kickoff? Yeah, I mean, Tyler,
- 27:29Speaker 2: this is you know, I think maybe the highest profile
- 27:34Speaker 2: game of the week.
- 27:34Speaker 3: If you would say, yeah, I would agree with that.
- 27:37Speaker 3: You know, the you know, the radio team will be
- 27:40Speaker 3: out there. You know, they're gonna do their their quote
- 27:42Speaker 3: unquote college game Day experience thing out there. They had
- 27:45Speaker 3: it out at Ferndale Linden last week, and I guess
- 27:48Speaker 3: there was a success. I mean, they did a show
- 27:49Speaker 3: from three to seven and just you know, they would
- 27:53Speaker 3: have all sorts of people on where they have you know,
- 27:55Speaker 3: cheerleading staff on, they had the athletic director on, they
- 27:58Speaker 3: have band members on talk about things, and they're really
- 28:01Speaker 3: really trying to to to make it a big deal.
- 28:04Speaker 3: And and I guess week one was was very successful,
- 28:07Speaker 3: which is cool. They're going to be out at Civic
- 28:08Speaker 3: Stadium this week and and coach would will be out
- 28:11Speaker 3: there covering the game for Walking Preps, and it's gonna
- 28:14Speaker 3: be it's you know, these are two teams with a
- 28:17Speaker 3: lot of athletes, so you could see a lot of
- 28:20Speaker 3: fireworks in that case. I saw I was at this
- 28:23Speaker 3: game last year, which was at Civic Stadium. It was
- 28:25Speaker 3: on a Saturday afternoon. Uh, that was the game. That
- 28:28Speaker 3: was the day where like Friday night, I was really
- 28:30Speaker 3: sick and I had to stay home and I had
- 28:32Speaker 3: like six games going on at once in the office,
- 28:35Speaker 3: and and but on Saturday, I was I was feeling
- 28:38Speaker 3: okay enough to go and cover that game and watch
- 28:42Speaker 3: it and keep stats and stuff like that. And and
- 28:45Speaker 3: it's just anti Chordus is just so hard to contain
- 28:48Speaker 3: with their team speed and their.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Aggressive different guys can beat you exactly.
- 28:54Speaker 3: They can't game plan for somebody. And and yes they
- 28:58Speaker 3: do have a new quarterback. But you know, I've heard
- 29:02Speaker 3: he's pretty dark good. He's very talented younger kid.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Yeah, he's only a sophomore, I remember correctly, and I
- 29:08Speaker 2: saw him at the Lakewood seven on seven tournament. Don't
- 29:10Speaker 2: get me wrong, the kid is going to be very,
- 29:13Speaker 2: very good. He's also very very raw at the moment.
- 29:16Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, look, let's face it, there's very few,
- 29:21Speaker 2: very few quarterbacks in high school football that you look
- 29:25Speaker 2: at as sophomores and go, absolutely, this guy fits in
- 29:28Speaker 2: right now. He can go win them a state championship,
- 29:30Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And usually the one Yeah,
- 29:33Speaker 2: Bran Hepner, I mean, Jake Heaps one as a sophomore,
- 29:36Speaker 2: Max Brown one as a sophomore. You know, There's been some.
- 29:39Speaker 3: Guys Sterling Summers did.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Yeah, but overall, I mean that it just it's so
- 29:45Speaker 2: rare and so it's and really what I'm saying is
- 29:51Speaker 2: I can sit here and say all I want about, Oh,
- 29:52Speaker 2: he's got a future. Oh he's he's probably right where
- 29:56Speaker 2: he should be, you know what I mean, Like, he's
- 29:58Speaker 2: probably right where he should be at his age and
- 30:02Speaker 2: his development. I know this much. You can see that
- 30:06Speaker 2: the talent is there. I mean, the talent is there.
- 30:08Speaker 2: It's just a matter of can you do it at
- 30:11Speaker 2: the varsity level right now as a sophomore, because they
- 30:14Speaker 2: have a legitimate shot to win another state championship.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Yeah, there's so many and that's what's really gonna help
- 30:19Speaker 3: this young quarterback has all these different weapons, you know,
- 30:22Speaker 3: and it's gonna be so hard because you're gonna you
- 30:25Speaker 3: can imagine that a lot of teams are gonna be
- 30:27Speaker 3: playing i don't know, maybe like a Cover four against
- 30:30Speaker 3: them where it's so the middle of the field, you know.
- 30:33Speaker 3: You know, I'm talking like, you know, fifteen or you know,
- 30:36Speaker 3: eight to twenty yards down the field will be kind
- 30:39Speaker 3: of open. If you get one guy or two guys
- 30:41Speaker 3: to sit in that zone and he's able to be
- 30:43Speaker 3: accurate enough to make the plays, that could be all
- 30:45Speaker 3: that you need just to move the ball down down
- 30:47Speaker 3: the field. And you know, I got to meet Brady
- 30:52Speaker 3: and Brock Beaner at the youth football camp. They were
- 30:55Speaker 3: kind of they were kind enough to be there for
- 30:58Speaker 3: the Wakam Preps youth football camp. They didn't have to
- 31:00Speaker 3: do that. They're not even Walkham County, but they did that.
- 31:03Speaker 3: I got to, you know, shake both their hands and
- 31:05Speaker 3: introduce myself and it was really cool to see those
- 31:07Speaker 3: kids interact with the other kids. And and they're just
- 31:11Speaker 3: obviously they're phenomenal athletes, both going to University of Montana,
- 31:15Speaker 3: but they you know, they're so great with the with
- 31:18Speaker 3: the younger kids. They were great with me, and and
- 31:20Speaker 3: so you know, I I've I've kind of rooted for
- 31:24Speaker 3: them a little bit. Now I've found I found myself.
- 31:26Speaker 3: I want them to go on and do some great
- 31:28Speaker 3: things going against the Walkham County team though, you know, I'm.
- 31:32Speaker 5: Home the heck with these guys, right So, but and
- 31:36Speaker 5: see Holmes got some they got some weapons too, obviously,
- 31:39Speaker 5: you know, with you know Nolan right now at his
- 31:41Speaker 5: third year is starting quarterback, and Andre Watson and.
- 31:44Speaker 3: Theo Quiggle on the outside, and Colby Chambers and Grady
- 31:47Speaker 3: Evans and and Sawomon McAllister. You know, Sawyer Woods is
- 31:51Speaker 3: a kid that ran really well last week. He's a
- 31:54Speaker 3: kid that was a backup last you know, last year,
- 31:57Speaker 3: I saw him a little bit. But man, when he
- 31:59Speaker 3: came into the game and random ball, he ended up
- 32:01Speaker 3: leading the team and rushing, I thought he did awesome.
- 32:03Speaker 3: So that's just another weapon that kind of came out
- 32:05Speaker 3: of nowhere and kind of replacing Fisher Hall on the
- 32:10Speaker 3: on the as a as a second running back. Where
- 32:13Speaker 3: Hall now is you know, leading the county and tackles
- 32:15Speaker 3: because he was able to focus just just on defense.
- 32:18Speaker 3: So they're really finding some ways to get all their guys,
- 32:21Speaker 3: to get more guys involved and to be maybe not
- 32:25Speaker 3: as tired guys. There's some guys just playing on one
- 32:27Speaker 3: one side of the ball, and it's really impressive. I think.
- 32:30Speaker 3: I think see Home, It's gonna be a really tough
- 32:33Speaker 3: road to get the win there at home against Anta Chordis,
- 32:37Speaker 3: But I think they're looking pretty good and and they
- 32:40Speaker 3: got to be feeling really good about picking up the
- 32:42Speaker 3: win at Marysville. Pilchuck and you, I think you nailed
- 32:45Speaker 3: on the head when you said this is kind of
- 32:46Speaker 3: the biggest high profile game of the weekend for Walking
- 32:49Speaker 3: County teams.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Uh, yeah again, Anna Cortis, want to oh see home
- 32:54Speaker 2: one and oh seven pm Civic Stadium on Friday night.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Let's see here a league game, Tyler, I believe the
- 33:00Speaker 2: league game, okarber right, yeah, yeah, league game. Oh that's right.
- 33:04Speaker 2: You They only get one non league game in that
- 33:06Speaker 2: in that league, don't they?
- 33:07Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so?
- 33:08Speaker 2: Or is it two this year? Because Mary's will pill Chuck. Now,
- 33:10Speaker 2: Mary's will Pilchuck leaves. But Cedar Woollie Sidrow, Yeah, came in.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Uh anyway, talking to circles, Oh, Carber one and oh
- 33:17Speaker 2: Ferndale one and O seven pm at Ferndale High School. Uh,
- 33:22Speaker 2: these two teams played a lot over the years. I
- 33:26Speaker 2: feel like Ferndale has really had their number as of late.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Though, Yeah they have, and I've been to a few
- 33:32Speaker 3: of these ones and they have had their number. But
- 33:34Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of big things about Okarber. Uh,
- 33:37Speaker 3: you know, and maybe the last couple of years they've
- 33:40Speaker 3: been struggling. Maybe they were just really young, and maybe
- 33:43Speaker 3: now they're all seniors, and so we'll have to see.
- 33:45Speaker 3: That's sometimes the case where you see a big improvement,
- 33:48Speaker 3: it's like, oh, they were just really young before that.
- 33:52Speaker 3: You know, like you said, it's a conference game. You're
- 33:54Speaker 3: right with Mary's will Pilchuck leaving the conference seedro Will
- 33:57Speaker 3: it comes in. They also lost Arlington, but game Snahomish,
- 34:01Speaker 3: so it is just a stay up trade there. So
- 34:05Speaker 3: you still it's still balanced as far as you know,
- 34:08Speaker 3: amount of games and stuff like that. Yeah, and so
- 34:11Speaker 3: there's so you're right, it was just the no. The
- 34:14Speaker 3: one non non conference game, jump right into it. And
- 34:17Speaker 3: in years past this was always the first conference game
- 34:19Speaker 3: in Walking County, you know, but h but now with
- 34:23Speaker 3: the two ways, you know, kind of jumbled up a
- 34:25Speaker 3: little bit, and Bellingham rejoining and Archbishop kind of joining
- 34:29Speaker 3: as of late. And it's always seems like every year
- 34:31Speaker 3: there's some sort of different mix up with Cedar Crest
- 34:33Speaker 3: in are they out? Are they out of what's what's
- 34:34Speaker 3: going on here?
- 34:35Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 34:36Speaker 3: Apparently right, So things are just changing all the time.
- 34:40Speaker 3: And so now they're playing conference games right out of
- 34:43Speaker 3: the bat in week one. Uh so this isn't the
- 34:45Speaker 3: first one, but this this should be interesting. Ok. Haarper
- 34:49Speaker 3: recently has been kind of spread and so we'll see
- 34:53Speaker 3: if they keep doing that. And then Ferndale faced the
- 34:55Speaker 3: spread last week and gave up, you know, three hundred
- 34:58Speaker 3: and sixty five yards passing, albeit against a really good
- 35:02Speaker 3: pitch and catch combination with Brent Hepner and Isaiah Aldman.
- 35:06Speaker 3: But they should be ready for this, you know, playing
- 35:10Speaker 3: at home second second week. Now, you know, you get
- 35:12Speaker 3: to stay home and do all the same stuff you've
- 35:14Speaker 3: been doing. I think they got a little bit of
- 35:17Speaker 3: a sour taste in their mouth from week one. They're
- 35:20Speaker 3: gonna take it out on the Wildcats here in a
- 35:22Speaker 3: conference game, and so I think you're gonna see some
- 35:26Speaker 3: some big time toughness running the ball, heavy run, maybe
- 35:29Speaker 3: heavy talent, talent, bun guard, you know, Zach Nielsen, might
- 35:32Speaker 3: you know, squeak out a few on the outside and
- 35:34Speaker 3: and see what see what they can do. I think
- 35:36Speaker 3: that I think Ferndale is you know, it's hard to
- 35:40Speaker 3: say with with two new teams now in the conference,
- 35:43Speaker 3: but if you if I was gonna look at just
- 35:45Speaker 3: the North WESTCA three A North, I think a lot
- 35:48Speaker 3: of teams would point to Ferndale now with Arlington out
- 35:50Speaker 3: and saying this could be the class of the conference.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Seidro might have something to say about that. I'm really
- 35:56Speaker 3: curious to see how they are and how they do
- 35:58Speaker 3: against these other teams. I know down at the the
- 36:03Speaker 3: other part of the West COU I heard Monroe's really
- 36:06Speaker 3: good and so so I'm excited to see, like down
- 36:10Speaker 3: the road, if there's for the for the conference championship
- 36:12Speaker 3: when they cross over, if they're still doing that, I
- 36:15Speaker 3: would imagine they are that. You know, Monroe and Ferndale,
- 36:19Speaker 3: it seems like that was a big matchup a couple
- 36:21Speaker 3: of years ago and it could turn into that. But
- 36:24Speaker 3: but obviously Freendale has to take our business. In the
- 36:27Speaker 3: first conference game against the Wildcats, Oh, Carver want to
- 36:30Speaker 3: know Ferndale wan to O seven pm at Ferndale High School.
- 36:33Speaker 2: Hawkinson the Hawks own one. They are coming to town
- 36:37Speaker 2: to take on Mount Baker. One to oh games out
- 36:40Speaker 2: there at Deming seven pm. Tyler. This Hackinson team a
- 36:45Speaker 2: little bit different than the Hawkinson team that we remember
- 36:48Speaker 2: playing Linden in the state championship game or and I
- 36:50Speaker 2: think didn't they come up to Linden maybe the next
- 36:53Speaker 2: season in like a non league game or something, or
- 36:55Speaker 2: like maybe it was like it was like two years
- 36:57Speaker 2: ago or three years ago.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Yeah, it was only a couple of years ago. And
- 37:00Speaker 3: I'll always remember that as the Max More game because
- 37:04Speaker 3: Max Moore was a senior and he was a captain
- 37:06Speaker 3: and he was, you know, could be the best player
- 37:08Speaker 3: on the team. And he just went off and like
- 37:10Speaker 3: ran for one hundred and twenty yards and did a
- 37:12Speaker 3: bunch of things on defense, and threw some played some
- 37:15Speaker 3: quarterback and he just and he had this crazy, awesome game.
- 37:19Speaker 3: And I think he got hurt at the end of
- 37:21Speaker 3: the game, or he might have got hurt the first
- 37:23Speaker 3: player of the next week or something like that, and
- 37:25Speaker 3: he was out the rest of the season. They go
- 37:27Speaker 3: on and win a state title. He goes on, he
- 37:29Speaker 3: gets to suit up for the state championship game, and
- 37:31Speaker 3: that was it was kind of a cool deal because
- 37:33Speaker 3: they were able to keep playing to where he was
- 37:35Speaker 3: able to suit back up. But he went off in
- 37:37Speaker 3: that game. And that's the last time I saw Hawkins.
- 37:39Speaker 3: And that was a close game against a really good
- 37:42Speaker 3: Linden team. You know, they ended up winning the state title.
- 37:45Speaker 3: That was the case Swegman season. Yes, so so yeah,
- 37:50Speaker 3: So it's uh, that was a couple of years ago,
- 37:53Speaker 3: and they were pretty darn good. I've heard that. You know,
- 37:55Speaker 3: last year wasn't as great and and uh, you know,
- 37:58Speaker 3: I they kind of took on the chin and week
- 38:00Speaker 3: one this year, and so I have no clue what
- 38:03Speaker 3: to expect. I was out at the volleyball game tonight
- 38:06Speaker 3: and a Mount Baker parent came up to me and
- 38:08Speaker 3: and he's on the chain gang too, and he just
- 38:11Speaker 3: kind of sat down next to me and he looked
- 38:12Speaker 3: at me and he shrugged his shoulders and he goes,
- 38:15Speaker 3: I don't know anything about Hawkinson. What do you know?
- 38:18Speaker 2: You said, I don't know either, I said, you know,
- 38:21Speaker 2: they won a state.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Title against lyndon twenty eighteen, I believe it was. And
- 38:27Speaker 3: I really like their color scheme.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and although they have a new logo and it's ugly.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. But like other than that, I'm just like,
- 38:37Speaker 3: you know, I really don't know. And he's like, is
- 38:41Speaker 3: it going to be anything like Port Angelis And I'm like,
- 38:44Speaker 3: you know, it could be title.
- 38:45Speaker 2: Let me give you a little a little something something here, Okay,
- 38:47Speaker 2: all right, yeah bring it. Last week they played Fife
- 38:51Speaker 2: and I don't know, what do you remember Fife's offense?
- 38:55Speaker 3: Well, I just remember them being gigantic.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Yeah, they were massive, and they always seemed to me
- 38:59Speaker 2: they seem to have just a couple of Polynesian kids
- 39:03Speaker 2: that are like it's like they got to a duke's brothers,
- 39:06Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like where you're just like, bro,
- 39:10Speaker 2: that guy is huge. You know. They always have those guys.
- 39:13Speaker 2: And I don't know if you know the name Caleb
- 39:15Speaker 2: McGarry played at U dub and then he was a
- 39:17Speaker 2: first round pick by the Atlanta Falcons. He played it
- 39:20Speaker 2: Fife at the same time as a guy named Monique
- 39:23Speaker 2: Sarte who was like six ' one, like two seventy five,
- 39:27Speaker 2: and you know, mj Ala. Some people know him as
- 39:33Speaker 2: oh man. What was he Ulu Malay or mj Alu
- 39:37Speaker 2: or his name? He had a couple of different names
- 39:40Speaker 2: when he was at U Dub. He just graduated last year.
- 39:42Speaker 2: I believe another just massive human being. But their offense
- 39:49Speaker 2: very very similar to what Mount Baker runs and they
- 39:53Speaker 2: put up I believe, forty seven points on Hawkinson last week.
- 39:56Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, look, fact of the matter is
- 40:01Speaker 2: our guy school. I mean, I think we're I'm predicting
- 40:09Speaker 2: running clock here, No, just kidding. I don't want to
- 40:12Speaker 2: put that on him. But Tyler, you know what I'm
- 40:13Speaker 2: saying here, Like it's when you when you start looking
- 40:16Speaker 2: at things on paper, it's never good. And I know
- 40:18Speaker 2: that coach Lepston here right now going, oh my goodness,
- 40:21Speaker 2: you guys stopped talking about this. The fact of the
- 40:23Speaker 2: matter is is there is one similarity and that's that
- 40:26Speaker 2: Fife typically obviously I didn't see game film from last week,
- 40:29Speaker 2: well Fife, but typically Fife. Coach my goodness, what is
- 40:33Speaker 2: his name? Is it? Kent Nevin? I think it's Kent Nevin.
- 40:36Speaker 2: He's been there a long time. I have a hard
- 40:38Speaker 2: time believing he's going to change his offense because he
- 40:41Speaker 2: loves it. You know, so I don't know, it could
- 40:45Speaker 2: be interesting. At the same time, Hawkinson always seems to
- 40:48Speaker 2: have some athletes, but definitely maybe I mean, let me,
- 40:54Speaker 2: let me put it to you this way. When I
- 40:56Speaker 2: saw that they were playing Fife and knowing that they
- 40:59Speaker 2: are coming town to play Howk or to play Mount Baker,
- 41:01Speaker 2: excuse me, it's kind of one of those things where
- 41:03Speaker 2: you're like, all right, well, you know, potentially one to oh,
- 41:06Speaker 2: they're like, you know, then you see the score and
- 41:09Speaker 2: you're just like, oh, okay, well maybe not so I
- 41:11Speaker 2: don't know. It's gonna be interesting though. That is again
- 41:15Speaker 2: a seven pm game out there at Mount Baker High
- 41:17Speaker 2: School on Friday, Hawkinson, oh and one Mount Baker one
- 41:19Speaker 2: to oh Student Park Christian want to know coming to
- 41:22Speaker 2: town to take on Blaine. Also want to know that's
- 41:24Speaker 2: a seven pm game out there at Blaine High School
- 41:26Speaker 2: and Tyler. This is a game I was at last year.
- 41:29Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what, there's anybody, I mean, anybody
- 41:33Speaker 2: this week looking to get a little revenge. Maybe it's
- 41:36Speaker 2: got to be Blaine because that's a game that they
- 41:38Speaker 2: probably feel like they were you know, maybe the bigger,
- 41:42Speaker 2: the better, the faster, the everything team and just could
- 41:47Speaker 2: not put two feet together at the same time to
- 41:49Speaker 2: jump into the water, if you know what I'm saying.
- 41:51Speaker 2: I mean, it was kind of one of those ones
- 41:53Speaker 2: where it was like little play here, a little play there,
- 41:56Speaker 2: fifteen yard penalty, five yard penalty, delay a game and
- 41:59Speaker 2: you're going, oh, Mike, goodness, what the heck is going
- 42:01Speaker 2: on right now? So yeah, I mean when I think
- 42:03Speaker 2: about this game here, I think Blaine. You know, I
- 42:08Speaker 2: feel like we say bad taste in the mouth, you know,
- 42:10Speaker 2: quite a few times in the last few weeks, but
- 42:12Speaker 2: I got to feel like they got a little bad
- 42:14Speaker 2: taste in their mouth still from last year's game against
- 42:16Speaker 2: the The Park Christian.
- 42:17Speaker 3: Yeah, big time revenge game here. You know, they had
- 42:20Speaker 3: the one big play down the sideline to Hunter Vazzetti
- 42:24Speaker 3: and that was kind of their big play, and they
- 42:26Speaker 3: had the they had those moments right they were in
- 42:28Speaker 3: field will range late with the All League kicker Matt Hayes.
- 42:33Speaker 3: They had you know, there was a time when there
- 42:36Speaker 3: was like a fumble they just squirted out the midfield
- 42:39Speaker 3: and I believe it was Connor Dolry had it. You know,
- 42:42Speaker 3: if it would have bounce the right way, he could
- 42:43Speaker 3: have picked up and scored, and that could have been
- 42:45Speaker 3: the difference of the game. And there was these moments
- 42:48Speaker 3: where there was like, oh, it's right there. You know,
- 42:50Speaker 3: I'm watching it live on on on NFAHS, you're there live,
- 42:56Speaker 3: and we're texting back and forth. And it was just
- 42:59Speaker 3: kind of like it was crazy because there were so
- 43:02Speaker 3: many times when you thought something good happen, then they'd
- 43:04Speaker 3: be a bad snaper, there'd be a penalty, like you said,
- 43:06Speaker 3: and and Riley ied, you know, their best player gets
- 43:09Speaker 3: gets hurt in that game, and that kind of sucks
- 43:12Speaker 3: the wind out of you because he does everything for
- 43:14Speaker 3: all three phases and and you know, it's just kind
- 43:18Speaker 3: of oh, you know, and and and like you said
- 43:22Speaker 3: it too, like after the game, like you could see
- 43:24Speaker 3: coach Olsen's you know, reaction, and he was just like
- 43:27Speaker 3: he knew that it was a winnable game. It didn't happen.
- 43:30Speaker 3: And so this is you know, this will be big,
- 43:33Speaker 3: This will be at you know, Blaine's place now. And
- 43:35Speaker 3: and I think they're feeling really good about last week's game.
- 43:38Speaker 3: I think they're right and high. I know the community
- 43:40Speaker 3: is really excited, and you know, parents are getting a
- 43:43Speaker 3: hold of me, and they're like, this is a great
- 43:45Speaker 3: this is a good team that Jade Winslow is a
- 43:47Speaker 3: huge you know. It's like it's like it's like people
- 43:49Speaker 3: are starting to realize there's a high school team out
- 43:52Speaker 3: in Blaine, you know, and I love it because they're
- 43:55Speaker 3: great kids. And you look at that Blaine senior class.
- 43:57Speaker 3: There was a senior there's a group of all the
- 43:59Speaker 3: seniors after the football game. Is a picture of all
- 44:02Speaker 3: the seniors and there's like, I don't know, ten or
- 44:04Speaker 3: twelve of them something like that. And I'm looking at
- 44:07Speaker 3: the picture and every single kid, every every single one
- 44:11Speaker 3: of those seniors are huge contributors on that team. And
- 44:15Speaker 3: that's hard to say with you know, you see a
- 44:16Speaker 3: group of seniors and you go, oh yeah, and those
- 44:19Speaker 3: two kids are coming out for the first time, you know,
- 44:20Speaker 3: I don't know who they are. Blaine is not like that.
- 44:23Speaker 3: Every single kid are big time contributors on that team
- 44:27Speaker 3: of those seniors, and so you get like that kind
- 44:29Speaker 3: of leadership and they're trying to change the culture and ooh, man,
- 44:33Speaker 3: I right now that's the team I wouldn't want to
- 44:36Speaker 3: face because I think there there's the positivity is just
- 44:40Speaker 3: is just getting wrung out right now. And I hope
- 44:41Speaker 3: they're not riding too high, you know. I don't want
- 44:44Speaker 3: them to float and think that, oh, this is just
- 44:46Speaker 3: the way it's going to be now. And I don't
- 44:48Speaker 3: think Coach Olson's going to allow that to happen. They're
- 44:50Speaker 3: gonna He's gonna get them to keep working hard, because
- 44:53Speaker 3: that's you know, a lot of coaches say, you know what,
- 44:56Speaker 3: you know, practice is hard, like you, Games should be fun,
- 45:00Speaker 3: like you, like your your reward is you get to
- 45:03Speaker 3: play in this game and you get to take it
- 45:05Speaker 3: out and you get to win the game. And that's fun,
- 45:07Speaker 3: you know. And so I'm hoping they're still practicing hard
- 45:09Speaker 3: during the week. I guarantee you they are. But this
- 45:12Speaker 3: will be this will be a fun one. This will
- 45:15Speaker 3: be a good one. And I'm still I'm still haven't
- 45:17Speaker 3: figured out which game I'm gonna go to after I
- 45:20Speaker 3: leave Meridian. Yeah, it might be Fernial Oak Harbor, it
- 45:23Speaker 3: could be this one, it could be Cedar Park, Christian Blaine,
- 45:26Speaker 3: just because I kind of want to see this in
- 45:29Speaker 3: person because you were there last year and I want
- 45:33Speaker 3: it's like it's like I need closure for this. Yeah,
- 45:36Speaker 3: you know, I I feel like I really need it,
- 45:38Speaker 3: but it could be it could be a really really
- 45:41Speaker 3: good one, and and uh.
- 45:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited for it. I think what's gonna end
- 45:45Speaker 2: up happening, Tylers. You're gonna go out to Blaine and
- 45:48Speaker 2: you're gonna watch a little bit of that game. Then
- 45:50Speaker 2: you're gonna go. You know what I could do. I
- 45:52Speaker 2: could shoot down the road and go to Oak Harbor
- 45:54Speaker 2: at Ferndale and just catch the last, you know, quarter
- 45:56Speaker 2: of that one too.
- 45:57Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm I'm only living I live only four
- 46:00Speaker 3: miles from Ferndale High.
- 46:01Speaker 2: So I can see it hitting three. I really could,
- 46:04Speaker 2: just because it's it's such a I mean, I hate
- 46:06Speaker 2: to say it this way, but it's an easy little
- 46:08Speaker 2: triangle there for you.
- 46:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it's doable because the Marine game is an hour early. Yes, No,
- 46:13Speaker 3: and I can watch that.
- 46:15Speaker 2: I can watch you watch an hour of that, go
- 46:17Speaker 2: catch the second you know quarter of the Blaine game,
- 46:20Speaker 2: and then shoot down for the second half of the
- 46:22Speaker 2: Ferndale game.
- 46:23Speaker 3: But yeah, finish up at Ferndale. Absolutely, And that's something
- 46:26Speaker 3: that's very very possible I'm gonna do.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Oh No, I just talked into existence. That is what
- 46:31Speaker 2: I did.
- 46:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not going to go to Hawkinson Mount Baker.
- 46:35Speaker 3: It's just too far away for me to catch a
- 46:38Speaker 3: third game. I was out at Baker last week. But
- 46:42Speaker 3: but yeah, so this you're right, that could be the
- 46:44Speaker 3: way it goes. We'll have to see kind of how
- 46:46Speaker 3: I'm feeling. I try to get back I try to
- 46:49Speaker 3: get back home right as all the games are ending
- 46:51Speaker 3: so I can get the scoreboard out as quickly as possible.
- 46:54Speaker 3: So we'll see. So being at Ferndale last is kind
- 46:57Speaker 3: of a beneficial thing that way as well.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Makes a lot of sense. I talked to the boom
- 47:02Speaker 2: there it is, Yeah, Cedar Park Christian, the Eagles one
- 47:06Speaker 2: to oh coming to town Blaine one and oh seven pm.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Tyler will be there. I'm just kidding. Well, I'm probably not.
- 47:13Speaker 2: But Lynden Christian they are, oh and one. They are
- 47:16Speaker 2: headed across the sound to take on the North Kitsapp.
- 47:19Speaker 2: What the heck are they? Tyler Wolves Vikings, Vikings, Vikings, Yeah,
- 47:25Speaker 2: North Kidsapp, Vikings. Oh and one that's in what is it,
- 47:29Speaker 2: Poles Bow, I believe, Yeah, polesbo seven pm. Tyler, Oh, yeah,
- 47:32Speaker 2: that's right. This is where you know, the people of
- 47:35Speaker 2: Lindon the city. They kind of know how to get
- 47:37Speaker 2: there because Linden played there last year. But yeah, Tyler, uh,
- 47:42Speaker 2: I mean outside of well, you know what, we have
- 47:44Speaker 2: talked a lot of North kids app football the last
- 47:46Speaker 2: couple of years because it seems like Linden and North
- 47:48Speaker 2: kits that play a lot. But this time Lynden Christian
- 47:51Speaker 2: headed over there.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be It's gonna be interesting because
- 47:55Speaker 3: I think these are two traditional powerhouses, especially over the
- 47:59Speaker 3: last couple of years, that might be both down a
- 48:02Speaker 3: little bit this year. You know, North kittsp has had
- 48:05Speaker 3: some huge dudes uh on the line, you know, and
- 48:09Speaker 3: they had that had that really that that smoke really
- 48:11Speaker 3: quick quarterback. I don't know if I don't know who's
- 48:15Speaker 3: coming back on that team. I got to see them
- 48:18Speaker 3: in person a couple of years ago, well two years
- 48:20Speaker 3: in a row, I saw them in person, and then
- 48:22Speaker 3: last year I saw them on film and it seemed
- 48:24Speaker 3: like it was a lot of the same guys. When
- 48:27Speaker 3: now you're getting to that fourth year where you're like, Okay,
- 48:30Speaker 3: it's got to be new guys now. And they did.
- 48:32Speaker 3: They did lose in Week one to WF West, who's
- 48:35Speaker 3: supposed to be pretty darn good. So it's kind of
- 48:37Speaker 3: hard to tell. Okay, well maybe they're just that good.
- 48:40Speaker 3: And again, these teams that are outside of Walking County,
- 48:42Speaker 3: I just don't follow them like I do the Walking
- 48:44Speaker 3: County teams. But Lynnon Christian they you know, there was
- 48:47Speaker 3: a lot they lost so much talent from the last year.
- 48:49Speaker 3: And they always return talent, they always have guys. But
- 48:53Speaker 3: it was a lot of wide eyes on Friday night
- 48:55Speaker 3: and you know, just kind of but there was mistake
- 49:00Speaker 3: that are are avoidable. You know, there's there's things that
- 49:03Speaker 3: they could have done better, hanging on to the ball,
- 49:06Speaker 3: stuff like that, things that they can fix on their own.
- 49:09Speaker 3: This is gonna be a really tough matchup. I mean,
- 49:11Speaker 3: you look at Lennon Christian's you know, non conference schedule
- 49:13Speaker 3: and it's just crazy. Yeah, there's no cupcakes there. It's
- 49:17Speaker 3: gauntlet and they but they like it like that. You know,
- 49:20Speaker 3: they wanted to schedule Royal, They want to schedule these
- 49:22Speaker 3: these kinds of teams, and more power to them. I
- 49:25Speaker 3: mean coach Turpster now is sixteen and five, and you know,
- 49:29Speaker 3: and and and in his career and he goes out
- 49:32Speaker 3: and schedules are hard. Teams that tells you right there
- 49:34Speaker 3: that he you know, he has trust in his abilities
- 49:37Speaker 3: as a coach and with his players and his assistant
- 49:39Speaker 3: coaches and everybody. So uh so I love it. You know,
- 49:43Speaker 3: you go down and you play North North Kitts at
- 49:45Speaker 3: a team at two way level that it makes deep
- 49:47Speaker 3: runs of the playoffs every year, and and uh so
- 49:50Speaker 3: this will be an interesting one.
- 49:51Speaker 2: Now.
- 49:52Speaker 3: Like I said, the Links had a really tough game
- 49:54Speaker 3: in Week one, but what we talked about at the
- 49:57Speaker 3: very beginning of the podcast, the big improvement week one
- 50:00Speaker 3: to week two. And you know, I was talking about
- 50:04Speaker 3: how I think the Squalka Marysville Pilchuck game was probably
- 50:07Speaker 3: gonna be the closest game, you know, if I had
- 50:12Speaker 3: to look at him, like the second closest game, it
- 50:14Speaker 3: might be this one. Cedar Park Blaine could be. But
- 50:18Speaker 3: I think it might be this one. It's gonna be
- 50:20Speaker 3: it could be a really really good, good game. And
- 50:22Speaker 3: Lyndon Christian even though they only scored seven points last week,
- 50:26Speaker 3: that I just don't think that's them. You know, they
- 50:28Speaker 3: just you know, last year in Week one they only
- 50:31Speaker 3: scored one touchdown and then they came out and won
- 50:34Speaker 3: the conference and you know, got to the quarters, so
- 50:38Speaker 3: it's really hard, you know, to go. Well, I don't know,
- 50:42Speaker 3: so I think that they'll be just fine. I actually
- 50:46Speaker 3: saw them at football practice on Tuesday. I was out
- 50:48Speaker 3: there covering a girl's soccer game and I could just
- 50:51Speaker 3: see right over the soccer field and watch them practice,
- 50:53Speaker 3: and they were doing some good stuff. So, you know,
- 50:56Speaker 3: we'll have we'll have to see. I mean, North Kitts
- 50:59Speaker 3: Up has been great the last couple of years, so
- 51:01Speaker 3: has Linnon Christian, and we'll just have to see how
- 51:04Speaker 3: it all matches up. It's you know, it could be
- 51:08Speaker 3: a really good close game.
- 51:09Speaker 2: Lynn and Christian. Oh one at North kitsap On one
- 51:13Speaker 2: in Polsbo, seven pm. That's it for the Friday games.
- 51:17Speaker 2: Tyler one game this weekend on Saturday, Nooksack Valley. The
- 51:20Speaker 2: Pioneers back on the road. They are one and oh
- 51:23Speaker 2: after beating on Alaska last week. They head down I five. Well,
- 51:27Speaker 2: they had across some roads and then they get TIGH
- 51:29Speaker 2: five and then they had down it and then they
- 51:32Speaker 2: get off at probably Park Drive and make their way
- 51:34Speaker 2: over anyway. I just gave you like the Google maps
- 51:37Speaker 2: of how to get there, but yeah, want to know
- 51:40Speaker 2: they are headed down to take on a Renton Oh
- 51:41Speaker 2: to one. That's five pm at a Renton Memorial Stadium.
- 51:46Speaker 2: Be sure to lock your doors, Tyler, I'm trying to
- 51:49Speaker 2: remember who the heck did Renton play last week? Blaine, Blaine,
- 51:53Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah.
- 51:54Speaker 3: The crazy thing about this is this is a walkin
- 51:57Speaker 3: county team, in a non walkom county team. And I
- 51:59Speaker 3: only saw one of him last week live, and it
- 52:01Speaker 3: was the non walker.
- 52:03Speaker 2: That's actually funny, So it's that's a rarity.
- 52:07Speaker 3: And what was also crazy about it is I was
- 52:10Speaker 3: there and I'm you know, I'm on the I was
- 52:11Speaker 3: on the sidelines taking stats and and it is a
- 52:16Speaker 3: nice day, you know, I wanted to be I want
- 52:18Speaker 3: to get my steps in and try to get my
- 52:20Speaker 3: energy back still and and uh so I was on
- 52:22Speaker 3: the sidelines and I don't know, halfway through the first quarter,
- 52:25Speaker 3: so I kind of look up in the stands and
- 52:28Speaker 3: and I see Craig Bartle sitting there smiling with the
- 52:30Speaker 3: sunglasses on, and he kind of waves to me, and
- 52:32Speaker 3: I acknowledge him and wave back, and I kind of thought, well,
- 52:36Speaker 3: he's you know, I know they played last night, and
- 52:38Speaker 3: he's got some time just checking Blaine out. It didn't
- 52:41Speaker 3: hit me until like a couple of possessions later that
- 52:44Speaker 3: they're playing renting next, and I just I just thought, oh,
- 52:48Speaker 3: that's kind of funny, like, yeah, you can. You can
- 52:50Speaker 3: just drive right down the road, just drive down Badger
- 52:53Speaker 3: and check this game out and and uh, and you
- 52:56Speaker 3: could see who your opponent is and see him in person,
- 52:58Speaker 3: so you know, Renton. They looked like they had a
- 53:03Speaker 3: few things they needed to work on as far as
- 53:05Speaker 3: blocking and stuff like that and communications and just kind
- 53:08Speaker 3: of knowing stuff. But I tell you what, they got
- 53:10Speaker 3: a kid number eighty eight. Uh, he had a diving
- 53:14Speaker 3: one handed catch. He had a couple of late touchdowns.
- 53:17Speaker 3: You know where coach Olsen was like when they put
- 53:20Speaker 3: the freshman and he's like, like double eighty eight, just
- 53:23Speaker 3: put two guys on eighty eight. He's still got a
- 53:24Speaker 3: couple of touchdown passes. He's about I don't know, six four,
- 53:29Speaker 3: probably like one seventy five and super athletic. And that's
- 53:35Speaker 3: the kid they're gonna have to worry about. And but
- 53:37Speaker 3: nukzac Valley is they're just so strong up front and
- 53:40Speaker 3: what I and I just I I would imagine they're
- 53:44Speaker 3: gonna get to the quarterback before he can throw the
- 53:47Speaker 3: past number eighty eight. It could be it could be
- 53:49Speaker 3: a long night for for renting but U and Nuksack
- 53:53Speaker 3: Valley has had a few of these over the last
- 53:55Speaker 3: couple of years where they'll go to they'll play against
- 53:58Speaker 3: you know, Hope or whoever it was, where you know,
- 54:03Speaker 3: it just turns into craziness by halftime, and then you
- 54:07Speaker 3: know they have to you know, they put in a
- 54:08Speaker 3: lot of the backups, and it kind of happened against
- 54:10Speaker 3: on Alaska a little bit. I mean, like I said
- 54:12Speaker 3: on the last podcast, they had twenty eight different guys
- 54:15Speaker 3: that got to tackle. So they they are one of
- 54:18Speaker 3: the teams. They're one of the few teams that it
- 54:21Speaker 3: seems like they suit up all everybody nine through twelve
- 54:24Speaker 3: every week and just in case, and then all of
- 54:27Speaker 3: a sudden you'll see a lot of new guys in.
- 54:30Speaker 3: And then when I'm taking stats, I just shake my head.
- 54:32Speaker 3: I go, oh, Craig, you're doing it to me again,
- 54:35Speaker 3: because now you know there's like number, you know, forty
- 54:38Speaker 3: eight on a tackle and I'm like, I gotta look
- 54:40Speaker 3: at the roster. I hate when I have to look
- 54:42Speaker 3: at the roster. I should know all these kids by now,
- 54:44Speaker 3: but so when they're freshmen, I don't know who they are. So,
- 54:48Speaker 3: but it it is awesome because you get that experience,
- 54:51Speaker 3: and a lot of these younger kids could get that
- 54:54Speaker 3: experience again here on the road because you know, Rents
- 54:58Speaker 3: a team that's trying to build something right now. They're
- 55:00Speaker 3: in the middle of that where Kniksack Valley has been
- 55:02Speaker 3: established now for a couple of years.
- 55:05Speaker 2: Nookzack Valley one to oh down to Renton H to one,
- 55:09Speaker 2: five pm at Renton Memorial Stadium. Tyler, that is it.
- 55:12Speaker 2: That is all. That's ten games. Hey, I think it's
- 55:16Speaker 2: time to talk to Randy Small and get the weather forecast.
- 55:20Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to talk about the
- 55:21Speaker 2: games down at Renton, but we'll find out what he's
- 55:23Speaker 2: got going on. Again, it's our friend Randy Small from
- 55:26Speaker 2: Watkam County Weather. You can find him online Watcom countywx
- 55:31Speaker 2: dot com or find him on Facebook Watcombe County excuse me,
- 55:35Speaker 2: Facebook dot com, backslash, Watcom County Weather. Randy Small with
- 55:39Speaker 2: the weather forecast for this weekend. Randy take it away.
- 55:45Speaker 6: Hello, this is Randy Small, Blockham County weather, and we're
- 55:47Speaker 6: looking forward to week two of the high school high
- 55:49Speaker 6: school football season, and it looks like the weather's going
- 55:52Speaker 6: to be a little different than last week. After it
- 55:55Speaker 6: being pretty warm. I'd say that's one of the warmest
- 55:58Speaker 6: starts I ever remember for a high school football season.
- 56:01Speaker 6: Things are going to cool down for this Friday night.
- 56:03Speaker 6: Most of the games besides the Believe Nuksack Valley at Renton,
- 56:07Speaker 6: are going to be Friday night, starting with the six
- 56:10Speaker 6: o'clock game at Meridian and then followed by a whole
- 56:13Speaker 6: slate of seven o'clock games. This weather is going to
- 56:16Speaker 6: be in the sixties to kickoff, probably low sixties at
- 56:20Speaker 6: kickoff for Friday night, and I would say similar on Saturday,
- 56:24Speaker 6: low to mid sixties. I'm not looking closely at Renton's weather,
- 56:29Speaker 6: but it should be somewhere in there. The one thing
- 56:32Speaker 6: we have to add into the mix is the possibility
- 56:34Speaker 6: of rain. And I've looked at a lot of different
- 56:37Speaker 6: data for this weekend and it's still a little bit
- 56:40Speaker 6: up in the air as to how much and what
- 56:42Speaker 6: amounts of rain we might get this weekend. And since
- 56:45Speaker 6: I'm doing this on Tuesday, it's a little hard for
- 56:47Speaker 6: me to forecast this far out for pre SIP, but
- 56:51Speaker 6: there is a chance Friday night, but I think the
- 56:53Speaker 6: chance is even higher for the Saturday game. But either one,
- 56:58Speaker 6: I don't think it's possible Friday he is totally dry,
- 57:01Speaker 6: and Saturday may not be much at all either, So
- 57:04Speaker 6: it's really hard for me to say for sure, but
- 57:06Speaker 6: just know there is a chance for both nights, but
- 57:08Speaker 6: I would say Saturday has a higher chance of PRECEIP
- 57:11Speaker 6: either way. I don't think the games are gonna be washouts.
- 57:14Speaker 6: It shouldn't be too high of amounts as of now.
- 57:16Speaker 6: Of course that's subject to change, but hope either way
- 57:20Speaker 6: you have a great weekend of football and enjoy following
- 57:23Speaker 6: your favorite team.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Tyler, do you feel like he purposely threw us under
- 57:29Speaker 2: the bus right there? Oh? I got to record this
- 57:32Speaker 2: on Tuesday just so when he's wrong, it's on us,
- 57:37Speaker 2: not on him.
- 57:38Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, Randy is such a good hearted
- 57:41Speaker 3: guy then he's just like, there's no way he's purposely
- 57:45Speaker 3: gonna try to, you know, throw us under the bus.
- 57:48Speaker 3: But I know, I know what you mean. Though. It's
- 57:50Speaker 3: kind of funny hearing that, you know, but you know
- 57:54Speaker 3: it just it just is what it is, and the
- 57:55Speaker 3: weather changes all the time. No one's gonna get No
- 57:58Speaker 3: one's gonna ever get on him if he's wrong, and
- 58:00Speaker 3: he's just too likable of a guy anyways.
- 58:03Speaker 2: No, And that's the funny thing is like you and
- 58:04Speaker 2: I both laugh about it because we get it. It's
- 58:07Speaker 2: the weather. I mean, it could literally change in nine minutes.
- 58:10Speaker 2: I mean you could. You could have zero percent chance
- 58:13Speaker 2: of rain and have thunderstorms like seven minutes later and
- 58:16Speaker 2: nobody could see it coming. Right again, Randy Small, that's

- 59:19Speaker 2: not a paid advertisement.
- 59:21Speaker 6: Yep.
- 59:21Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, somebody wants to sponsor it.
- 59:23Speaker 2: We'll take that money too. Tyler Pickhams, we gotta talk
- 59:26Speaker 2: about the pick'ms here, Tyler. I'm just curious who's in
- 59:30Speaker 2: first place right now. Joe Consensus and myself. So Joe
- 59:36Speaker 2: doing the smart thing, not picking with Jeff Bearden. He
- 59:39Speaker 2: decided to go with me this week. Joe consenses last
- 59:42Speaker 2: week did as though he had a choice. But Joe
- 59:45Speaker 2: and I seven and two, everybody else six and three. Now,
- 59:49Speaker 2: this is an interesting week here because everybody we've got
- 59:53Speaker 2: ten games. By the way, everybody is picking Meridian Lyndon
- 59:58Speaker 2: and a Chordus Ferndale Mount Baker from high school, Blaine,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: North Kitsap and Nooksack Valley. So we're all going against
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: what Well, we're all picking Wackham County teams and then
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: going against Lyndon Christian and Sea Home and Seahome W's
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah see it? Well yes Ana chorus. I guess
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: it does make sense in that one. Now that being said,
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: I am taking Marysville Pilchuck over Squalacum. Yes.
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: Uh, Tyler's got some nuggets, man.
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: I mean that's not the right clip, but I mean
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: it is because it's coach Lucy Uh. And then Mikayla
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: and Uh our guest picker Tyler are going to be
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: picking Bellingham over Lakewood. Now we've already talked about our
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: guest picker once because we talked about some sponsorships earlier. Tyler,
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: Why the heck is? How much did Marty Staffer have
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: to pay to be the guest picker this week? Tyler?
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: Oh, he didn't have to pay anything. I just I
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: just you know, I was looking to get a guest picker,
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: and I just thought, I don't think Marty's done it before.
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: I'm going to reach out to him. Mark Marty played
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: high school football, he played at Meridian, his kids go
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: to Ferndale, his businesses in London, so he's got all
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: sorts of you know, kind of ties to all these
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: different communities. So I thought, okay, well, I'm sure that
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: he follows all this stuff. I bet he'd be a
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: good picker. And and when I asked him, he just,
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: I think his reply he said that would be fun.
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: I was like, awesome, here here's the games, and boom
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: he sent him right back and it looked like he
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: kind of knew what he was doing. So h So, yeah,
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: so that's awesome to get Marty Staffer involved and had
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: to be our guest picker this week. And and you
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: never know, if you're listening to this, you might get
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: asked to be a guest picker. You just you never know.
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: It's it's just one of those things. And and we
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: have a lot of fun with it. I tried to
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: have it be someone who's never done it before, which
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: is tough to do. We've been doing the guest picker
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: thing for a while now, so it's, uh, you know,
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: it's been it's been tough. I mean, we've had former
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: NFL players, you know, Michael Kanan's done it. Steve Olvord
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: done it, miss Walking preps, miss Walking preps. She's in
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: it every year. She's and her goal, like she says
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: every year, is to beat you.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: Yeah, which is I mean, come on, let's just be
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: real here, I mean to beat me. I mean it's
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: a minor miracle. It just is at this point. I mean,
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: I'm way up on everybody except Joe.
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so yeah, So so we'll see and yeah,
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: we'll we'll get some We'll get some guest pickers. A
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: lot of times. What happens to is once we get
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: to the playoffs, if the team is out, sometimes we
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: get coaches that their team is no longer playing, we
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: get them to be the guest picker. Uh yeah, so
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: I know we did like like TJ did it once. Yeah,
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: coach Coach Whitman did it once. Adam Leonard's done it,
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: Andy Olsen's done it, like when they've done it after
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: they were bouncing the playoffs. So so yeah, it's a
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: lot of fun.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, just so you know, I'm going ten and
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: oh this week. Sorry to see home Lennon Christian and Squalkum.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Let's see, hear Tyler, we can talk fantasy now, yeah,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: I'm owing one in that one. You got lucky last week.
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: Actually you got really lucky that Uh who was your
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: linebacker that just went nuts? Oh Trey Bosman, Yeah, Trey Bosman,
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: that's just dumb. He went insane and secured the wind. Well, yeah,
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: I guess secured the winners much.
- 1:03:31Speaker 3: I mean he scored thirty points for me.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, as you start telling everything up, you're
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: sitting here going, well, not not my week, and then
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Trey Bosman, Oh yeah, thirty points.
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tyler, you win by four. I mean, I
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: don't I don't know.
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: If you heard me when we before we got on
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: the air last time, but you know, I was totaling
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: things up and the first thing I said was, let's
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: see what the damage is because I thought I lost.
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And I mean I had no idea, yeah,
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: because I was like and then I started adding it
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: up and I was like, oh, okay, well, I thought
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: for sure with you, with Jade and Piez, I thought
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: I was done. I thought, yeah, I thought I was toast, which,
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: by the way, after hearing the podcast, Andy Olsen was
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: all fired up.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: That I took Jade and Piez yeah. Yeah, and then
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: he was even more fired up that you took Colin
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: Davis too. I mean he's he's sitting there going too
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Blaine too. Blank, guys in one in one fantasy. This
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: is unbelievable. Well guess what, Tyler, Huh, I get first
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: pick and I'm taking the Blaine offensive line.
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: Oh well that's a good pick with size and oh man.
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: Right now, coach coach Olsen is doing the Rick Flair strut.
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: He's he's whoa, My shoes cost more than your house.
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: He's all fired up. Baby, you get two picks, Tyler,
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: What do you got?
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: I do? His shoes are nice. They all the coaching
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: staff has some great Nike orange and black.
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: Yeah. Coach Olsen's got it. He's got the team and
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: the coaches just fitted.
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it look great.
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: Uh two picks, you know, I I am going to
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: I was just I loved what Talon Bung guard did
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: last week, even though he was in a losing cause
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: and he did not find the end zone. But my goodness,
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: he's just I mean impossible to tackle one on one.
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: So I think they're gonna keep feeding him, and so
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Talon Bung guard or running back,
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: and then I'm gonna go receiver this week. And I
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: really like Corey Onney here, and not just because I
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: mean he's been playing for Knicksac Valley for like the
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: last seven years. But I love his versatility. He's gonna
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: catch passes, he's gonna run the ball. A few times.
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: He threw for a touchdown last week. He can do
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: a lot of different things on the offensive side of
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: the ball, and I think that because of that, he'll
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: be able to rack up some good points for me.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: I like the corny only pick, and I'm gonna go
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: with his quarterback. I'm gonna take Evan Brown. I was
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: impressed with that young man in week one, and I
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: feel like, you know, this is a game that they
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: probably can put to bed early, but I think his
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: ability to do both the run and the throw. I
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: think I just I like Evan Brown in this one
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: partly because you know, I look at some of these
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: other ones and like the Mariner Linden game. I mean,
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: I want to take Brent Hepner. Now, of course we
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: don't take him last week and then he goes absolutely bonkers.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: I would like to take him, but I'm a little
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: afraid of what they're gonna do to Mariner. So it's
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: kind of scary when you look at some of that stuff.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Of course, you and I probably both won't pick him,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: and then he'll go nuts again, which by the way,
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: is BBD the one call and plays up there.
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: Yeah offensively, yes, Yeah.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: If they go nuts and throw the ball for like
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: another three fifty, I'm gonna be very angry. And then
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to the defensive side. Take the first
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: defensive player here, and I'll tell you what. I'm gonna
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: go with Tyler Frost. I'm a big fan of that
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: young man, and I just feel like his play is
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: gonna be huge as they try to get a w
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: over Lakewood.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a good I think it's a
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: good pick. And like I was talking about earlier during
- 1:07:09Speaker 3: that matchup, if they blitz a lot, I could really
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: throw some wrenches into things. And and there's a difference
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: between a blitz and a run blitz. And I tell
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: you what, he's really good sniffing out the run with
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: all those tackles for losses that he's had. I'm gonna
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: go team defense and I'm going to take the fighting
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: Blake Whitman's I'm gonna take. I'm going to take the
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: Linden defense as a whole, and I just think somewhere
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: in there there's gonna be like a defensive touchdown. I
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: think it's gonna happen. I think that this is the
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: week where you know, you could see Isaiah Audman can
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: come from behind and strip the ball and it's gonna
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: bounce right into Malachai Keenan's hands and he's gonna run
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: in for touchdown. I just something like that's gonna happen.
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: I think this is where it's gonna happen because the
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: deep the team defense is traditionally don't score a ton
- 1:08:02Speaker 3: of points for us. But if something like that happens
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: and you can just kind of double up your opponent's
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: score just on the team defense, that could be huge.
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: And then You've already taken a front seven guys, So
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: I'm going to take a back seven guy. And I
- 1:08:18Speaker 3: like what your thought was with Tyler Frost and going
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: against Lakewood, and he could be right. He's right in
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: the middle of field. He could do a lot of things.
- 1:08:25Speaker 3: But I love Owen Hanstead in this game because you know,
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: he just he is he's starting another streak of interception
- 1:08:32Speaker 3: games again. If he is, I'm gonna I'm gonna jump
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: on that because you know, Lakewood likes to flinging around
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: a lot, and he's so good at just playing center
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: field and being and reacting and and going and getting
- 1:08:44Speaker 3: that ball, and so yeah, we'll just I just I'm
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: hoping for you know, whenever Belling plays against a team
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: that throws a lot, I like my chances with Owen
- 1:08:54Speaker 3: Hanstead to pick up some points.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't blame him with that, all right. So
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: I feel like we do this almost every week where
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: the last position to get picked this kicker. Yeah, Like,
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: I don't know if that's actually a thing or not,
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: or if I'm just making it up, but it just
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: seems like that's kind of what happens. It does, and
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: I guess, I mean, I guess maybe it does make
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: a little sense because kicker is probably you know, one
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: of the ones that scores the least amount of points,
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: and it's just because it's you know, you don't kick
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: a lot of field goals in high school football and
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: then you know, only getting minimal points for the extra
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: points and stuff. So I'm gonna go with maybe, oddly enough,
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: the one kicker that didn't get picked last week and
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: probably would have put up some nice points. I'm gonna
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: take Malachi Canaan. Yeah, a guy that it seemed like
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: last year we kind of went flip flop back and
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: forth with him and what's his name? Boom boom, yeah,
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: boom boom exactly. And then I'm gonna go I'm gonna
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: go running back here, and I'm gonna take Dylan Moe.
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: He had a big game last week, and I feel
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: like he's just gonna pound that rock again and maybe
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: getting the end zone a couple of times.
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great pick. I mean they're at home again,
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: you know. And like I said last week, he's just
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: bigger and stronger and faster than I remember him the
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: last year. And and yeah, holy cow, he's just he
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: can hit that trap play and he's gone. But he's
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: good at breaking tackles and he can break away. He's
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: a big he's a big time big play threat. Yeah,
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: with all the positions now being taken now we can
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: kind of pretty free for all it here a little bit.
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: I'm gonna go front seven. Already got my back seven,
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go front seven, and I'm gonna take
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: Colby Martin at Noksack Valley inside linebacker. Holy cow, did
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: he impress me last week with a ton of tackles.
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: Every single one of them was had a lot of
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: impact to it, forced a couple fumbles, And I think
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: that he's kinda he's kind of ready to have that
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: kind of breakout season that this year has been kind
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: of waiting behind all these guys to be the guy.
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: And I mean even last year there was a game
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: where you know, the backups got in and he had
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: to pick six. I mean, he was. He was that good.
- 1:11:09Speaker 3: Like he's a guy that could have started on a
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: lot of teams and he's waited his turn and he's
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: gonna come out and just have a great year. And
- 1:11:16Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna ride him here in Week two
- 1:11:18Speaker 3: and see what happens, because I think he could put
- 1:11:20Speaker 3: up some big numbers, very similar to Trey Bosman in
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: that respect, I'm hoping. And then I'm gonna go quarterback.
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: I took quarterback last last week, and I'm gonna not
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: take him last this week, but uh, I'm gonna take
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Jager Fife. I you know, you took
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: him last week. I think that he's always gonna just
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: score consistent points. You know. It's so weird because you know,
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: I'm helping, uh, you know, Miss Walking preps with her
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: fantasy team, and her two quarterbacks are Anthony Richardson and
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and I and She's always like, well, which
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: one should I start, you know, And I'm like, well,
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not following as much as I used to.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: But I feel like Anthony Richardson is a guy that
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: could score you four or thirty five, I'll tell you what.
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence will always score you like seventeen.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: Yeah, And I feel like he's got that dilemma every
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: single week with those guys.
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: Right, And so I kind of feel like with Jagger Fife,
- 1:12:12Speaker 3: like he's a guy that will always score points, you
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: know what I mean.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: Like he's a guy that.
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: Will always they're always gonna throw the ball twenty times.
- 1:12:21Speaker 3: He's a threat to run as well, and I just
- 1:12:24Speaker 3: think that he's a good safe pick every single week.
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go Jagger Fife.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not that's not wrong at all. I mean,
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: anybody that thinks that is incorrect, is just a hater
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: or a liar or can't accept the truth. Let's see here,
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: I still need what wide receiver defense back seven. So
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: I mean I took Evan Brown. You've got Corey Olney.
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go let's go a little have
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: a little fun here, you know, Ler, I always gott
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: to go a little crazy with something here. Yeah, let's
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: go Cole Coppinger. And I mean, I gotta hope Evan
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: Brown doesn't just go completely nuts and like throw the
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: ball to like both guys. Maybe he can just throw
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: it to Cole Coppinger. I mean, okay with that. And
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: you know what, Tyler, I'm gonna I'm gonna hope and
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: pray that Trey Bosman does it again, but this time
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: he wins the game for me because he played to
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: win the game. I'm gonna take him in the back seven. Yeah,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: coach back seven. Trey Bosman.
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, he's another guy, is just a
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: point score man. He's he's in on so many tackles
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: and it's great in the past game, deflecting passes, intercepting passes.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: It's just a really really smart, heady player. And you
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: know Cole Coppinger is he's a weapon man and he's
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: gonna be They're gonna really try to how do I
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: say this, like isolate him, you know what I mean
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: where you might have a bunch on one side and
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: Cole Coppinger on the other side, and that's just he's
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: that kind of athlete. So I'm gonna round that out
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: or right up my picks. I got my last two here.
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Linden offensive line. I just think that,
- 1:14:09Speaker 3: you know, this is a kind of matchup where it's
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: you know, they're gonna be able to put up some points,
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: get a lot of yards, so we're gonna you know,
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: I'm looking right at you, Ed Bomber and uh and uh.
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: I know you don't have to, you know, do too
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: much to get these guys motivated, because they're they're pretty motivated.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: But I've seen I've seen Ed Bomber motivate before, and it.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: Is Bombers not listening what you said. I'm looking right
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: at you, Ed bo He ain't listening.
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: You'd be surprised.
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: But you know what, right now, Whitman's going, Hey, I'm
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: gonna tell Ed and Ed's gonna go Blake what are
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: you talking about?
- 1:14:46Speaker 3: It's gonna say, what's a podcast?
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna go, He's gonna go, who oh, what's a.
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: Who's the what? Huh? I tell you what. Though, I've
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: been to the last three football banquets for Lynnen High School.
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and they are first class. They are amazing.
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: But the highlight of the night every night, other than
- 1:15:06Speaker 3: the Brick Award, the award where Brick gives out his
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: golden green gold Brick to something other than that, other
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: than that, is when Ed Barmber goes up and talks.
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: It is the funniest thing in the world. And I
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: understand why one of his sons went in a stand
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: up comedy. I totally get it.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: I don't care what anybody says, Tyler, there is not
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: a bigger fan of our guy Brick that isn't a
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: family member than me. I know. I am that guy's
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: biggest band. Every time I like there could be a
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: picture with him in the background, I'm like, hey, there.
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: He is Brick. Yeah. So I'm gonna go Linon's offensive
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: line and I'm gonna round it out by taking a kicker,
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: and it's you know where Randy Small said, there could
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: be some rain and stuff. So then you start I
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: start looking at things like turf fields, things like that,
- 1:16:00Speaker 3: maybe a big leg and I and it all comes
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: down to and a team that can get and maybe
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: have more opportunities to kick. So I really like Caiden
- 1:16:08Speaker 3: Eldridge here. I thought he's got a massive leg. He
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: might have the best kickoff leg in the county that's
- 1:16:15Speaker 3: including Canaan and and he hit a thirty five yarder
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: last week and did it quite easily. So I think
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: that he's a guy that if you know they're within
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: forty yards, they're gonna put him out there to get points.
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: And I think that, uh, he can do that. And
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: I love it too because and then he starts a
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: defensive end. He's a big, strong kid, and uh you
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: don't see that combination too often kicker slash defensive end.
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go Caiden Eldridge Ferndale kicker.
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: What did uh didn't Phoenix fink Warner play some defensive end?
- 1:16:49Speaker 3: Yes? He did, he played defensive last last year.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: YEA, say what the heck is going on over there
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: at Ferndale?
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they just they just found they just
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: find their big You know, if you play soccer and
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: and h and football at Firdale, they're gonna try and
- 1:17:04Speaker 3: talk into being a kicker.
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: Actually, you know what, Tyler. You know our kicker at
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: bothel Is is a defensive end. He starts at left
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: end for us.
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: Well, see, maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong, Maybe this is
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: there's a trend that I thought.
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: Yeah, well, although my guy's not left footed, so he
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: can't kick and walk them County. I mean, uh, neither
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: is Eldridge. But oh yes, all right, so round it out.
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: I need to take a defense, and I am going
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: to go with k Nooksack Valley on defense. It just
- 1:17:32Speaker 2: seems like, I mean, Tyler, when you really look at
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: this offensive line, the two offensive lines, and the defenses,
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's pretty obvious what we were
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: trying to do here, going against some some real high
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: powered programs. All right, that's it for fantasy, Tyler. You've
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: got Jaggerfife talent, bung guard, Corey only Linden's offensive line,
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: Linden's defense. You've got Kolbe Martin in the front seven,
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: oh and Hanstead in the back seven, and Cayden Eldridge
- 1:17:59Speaker 2: at kicker. That's always hard to say, Cayden Eldridge instead
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: of Kate Eldridge. By the way, he had a couple
- 1:18:04Speaker 2: of receptions the other week when I was watching it again. Yeah,
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: every time he did, I was just jumping up and down, going,
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: that's my guy, let's go.
- 1:18:13Speaker 6: Me.
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: On the other hand, I've got Evan Brown, Dylan Moa,
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: Cole Coppinger, Blaine's offensive line, Knooksack Valley's defense, Tyler Frost
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: in the front seven, Trey Bosman in the back seven,
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: and Malachi Canaan. I guess we didn't really explain the
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: back seven in the front seven because people are probably going, now,
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: wait a minute here, he's got two linebacker guys. What
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: is going on? Front seven defensive line and linebacker back
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: seven linebacker defensive backs. So I mean, I guess maybe
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: in a way it's probably smartest just to take two
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: linebackers every week. Huh. I've never really thought about that one.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: But then yeah, I think I maybe said Malchai Kanaan,
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: I got him a kicker, So uh, yeah, those are
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: the fantasy teams, Tyler anything else before we get out
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: of here.
- 1:18:54Speaker 3: Uh, it's gonna be a busy week, ten games. It's
- 1:18:56Speaker 3: a lot going on, so so be patient and your
- 1:19:00Speaker 3: favorite team story comes out, because it might take me
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: a little while.
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: I take until Sunday afternoon.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean the last one last week came
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: out like Sunday at six, so.
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: We recorded a couple hours later, right.
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: And then so you know, and that was only nine
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: games that I had to do, so this will be
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: a little tougher. But just be patient. Every story will
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: come out and uh and yeah, we'll just see how
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: it goes and uh and then all of a sudden boom, Yeah,
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: we'll back on recording and go, go go.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: Yeah, and if anybody's got some food or maybe a
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: caffeine nasal spray, drop it off at Tyler's house at
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: one Ferndale Drive. Yeah. That's it. I think we're done.
