  Speaker 3: for a while. But yeah, and the weather's been okay,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and my lawnmowre crapped out and all sorts of craziness
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Let's see here, Tyler, there is actually nobody with a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: career average of three forty three.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, there are people.

• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yep, there's somebody ahead of him.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Oh Joe Jackson.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Nope, actually I assume.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Hold on, let me look, he's got me in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: top five.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Joe Jackson. Well, Joe Jackson's probably not anything right now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: They they they left all his stuff up there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, this one guy, I'm pretty sure he would
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be from the Negro leagues.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Oh they added all that in like a couple of
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: years ago. Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Then I don't know Josh Gibson, Josh Gibson, see yeah,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Oscar Charleston Rogers Hornsby and jud Wilson Rogers Hornsby.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, but I know Joe Jackson's up there, and I
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: think like modern guys, I think Gwenn was like three
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: thirty eight or something like that for Tony Gwynn.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's wow. I mean that's pretty amazing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Really, it's crazy.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, we need to give a thank you, speaking
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of baseball to a to a young man from Ferndale,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Nolan Bullyac. He did give us the intruth in true
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: intro today. Yeah. So, Tyler, We've got a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: sponsors here in the springtime, but there's always more room
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: for some sponsors. As a matter of fact, Tyler, we
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: don't have a sponsor for the podcast itself.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the actual podcast, that could be a big one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, and you know, I heard from one of
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: my sponsors actually this past week where he was like,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you know what, he goes, you know what I love
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: about the podcast, And I'm like, please tell me because
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I'm I want to love the podcast myself. And and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: he's like the way you you talk about your sponsors,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and I was like, well, thank you. I go. Ryland
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: has a lot to do with that. But at the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: same time, I it's it's such a big deal to
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: me because you think about a lot of people that
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you know, listen to sports talk radio and you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the stat of the day is brought to you by
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Panini cards, blah blah blah. But they're getting paid, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: they have you know, they're they're getting paid from their people,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: not necessarily from their sponsors. Yeah, I am solely sponsor based.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: So it is so important to me, and so it's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: it's so critical to how walkom Preps works and how
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and the success that follows. And uh, and maybe that's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: why it comes across that way because it's super genuine.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: And yeah, someone wanted to sponsor the podcast, Uh, that
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: would be huge. Uh, there's you know, there's lots of
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: options like that, and you know, have to reach out
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: and find me on social media, search for walkam Preps,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: send a message and we can get something going. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you know, it's been it's been great because you never
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: know when a new one will pop up, and everyone
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: who seems to pop up, they all stick around. And
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that's what's really promising. You know, I did my taxes.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I found out that, you know, I almost three times
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: as much as I made in twenty twenty three that
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I made in twenty twenty four just from sponsors. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that the trend keeps going up. That's gonna be great.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: That's gonna make it so walk and Preps can keep going.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: But we just keep needing. We just need the help
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: from everybody in the community. And so far, so good,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: so thank you everybody. And and you've got to keep
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: this thing going because it is fantastic, and it's it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you know, everyone always tells me what a great service.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: It's a great service that you provide for our community.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: That's probably the biggest compliment that I hear the most,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you know, and I'm almost thinking like, wow, I never
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: really look at it that way, because I look at
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: it as like the community is doing me a service
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: by keeping it going and and allowing me to do this,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and and allow me to go to games and give
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: me access, and so it's a really it's a fun
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: thing back and forth. And I always go back to
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: like when I like when I played music, is when
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: there's a good crowd going, then that feed that that
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: it comes back to you and it makes you play better.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And then the better you play it, then the crowd
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: gets more crazy. And that that bouncing back and forth
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: is what makes it magical. And that's kind of how
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I feel with with Walking Preps is you know, it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the people really appreciate it, and so it just keeps
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: going back and forth, and that's why I'm able to
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: keep doing it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean really, at the end of the day,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it's kind of funny because in a way, the community
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: is your employer. You know what I mean, it's like
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: absolutely the the sponsors are community based, and you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: without that, it's it doesn't exist. You know, there's there's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: no way that we can do anything here. But yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: so reach out to Tyler if you've got something again.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, the podcast gets plenty of listens every week
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and you know if if maybe you did it for
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a full year, Tyler, give you a good cut on that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, once we get into football, I mean
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the one we have three podcasts a week during football season.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: We have the weekly wrap up of all the sports
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that aren't football, We have the wrap Up of football,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and we have the Preview of football. I mean, Tyler,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you and I talk more during the week in football season,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and I talked to my family. Yeah, you know. And
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things too that if
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you were a thinking about sponsoring and you got a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: hold of the people at North County Alliance FC and said, hey,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what do you can you just tell me like about
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: walcome prehaps, what do you think of the they would
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: give rave reviews. You call Marty Staffer up, he might
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: not stop talking long enough for you to get off
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the phone. I truly believe that you know what I mean, Like,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: there's these people believe in in you and what we
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: do here. And you know, look, Tyler, if he ever
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: gets to a point where you know, you're you can
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: make you know, more money, it becomes one of those
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: things where we might be able to give more coverage,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: might be able to bring somebody on to do some
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: some extra stuff, you know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I mean absolutely, I could, you know, I could hire people,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: like get a better I could get a better camera,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I could. You know, there's always it can always get better.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I could eat more than one meal a day. You know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: there's there's lots of these things that could make it better.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: But right now I'm at the point where it's really good.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of work right now because I'm in
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: that weird spot where I still have to do it
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: by myself for the most part. I mean I have
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: great help with you know, interns and stuff like that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: But it's right on that tipping point, you know, so
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I think it can happen. I just need to get
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: over that next hump. And I've gotten over all the humps,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: all the other humps so far, so I have no
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: reason to think I can't do this again.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And one of the other things too.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the way that we talk about the sponsors.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: One of the things that while we are getting the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: show sheets set up that I always do is kind
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of go through our sponsors and I go to their
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: websites and just see if there's anything new, you know.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And it's actually kind of funny something we talked about.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't remember if it was last week or the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: week before, but with North County Alliance FC, when we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: get to that point, you'll I'll talk more about it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Let's just say that because there is something that's kind
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of funny going along with that. But yeah, anyway, reach
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: out to Tyler on social media. He will take care
• 8:29

• 9:53
  Speaker 1: stuff to talk about here tonight, and we will start
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: with boys Golf Northwest conference standings. I think these have
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: changed just to tad because a little bit I don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: think Meridian was on top, and they are on top
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this week. Meridian the Trojans number one in the Northwest Conference,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: followed by Oak Harbor, Burlington, Edison and a Cordis and Ferndale, Seahome,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Lennen Christian They are six and seventh, Nooksack Valley there ninth,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Blaine tenth, and then it goes all the way down
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to sixteen, where the lake Wood Cougars reside currently. Let's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: see hear Tyler well about this. Was there anything going
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on last week boys golf that you want to talk
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: about before we go to the top ten.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was. There was a few different things. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: don't there wasn't a lot in Walkham County, so I
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: wasn't able to make it to things, but I was
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: able to get info and see what happened. And there
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: was also, like I think there was another non league
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: event on a Friday where some schools got involved down
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: in Everett, and Meridian did really well in that. And yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: it's I mean Meridian. Right now. The thing about golf
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: is you're kind of I mean, this isn't one hundred
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: percent true, but you're kind of as good as your
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: fifth golfer, you know, so if you if you really
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: have a good group, holy cow, does that make a difference,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And especially once you get into postseason stuff like that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: And right now I'm Meridian. You know you got your
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you know you got your. The Blankenberg brothers are amazing
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: and there's no doubt about that. But the improvement of
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Nathan Larson, I mean he is He's outshot the Blankenbergs
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: a few times. And that's like, holy cow, Now you
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: got like a third guy that you got to worry
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: about the good lead. And you know, Logan Jacobi's really
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: shot up that on that on that think list, and
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Ross Driscoll is good. I mean, it's it's like, what's
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: what what this is? What's great about too, is you're
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: you'll bring out six great golfers and you don't know
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: who will qualify and who won't, like meaning like you know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: only they only take the top five for the scores.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: And it's like, man, that's how good they are, you know.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And there's there's some schools that can't even field five
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: teams or five players, so it's uh. And they just
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: had a great week and shot some amazing scores up
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and down and having those those great team scorers meaning
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: top five guys all doing well. That has allowed them
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: to jump ahead in the standings and take over for
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: number one spot, which is great for a one a school.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: That's really really impressive, and that's gonna You know, last
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: year they had the state champion individual golfer. They might
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: be looking for a state championship as a team.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Wow, that would be truly impressive. Off top of your head,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: do you remember any state championships from Wakam County.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: For golf for a team?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like as far as the boys go, as far
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: as the boys go, Holy cow, I know in girls
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: there was there was a few runs there by Bellingham.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: There was like a four years in a row in
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: the in the mid two thousands. But in the boys,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I I don't recall off top of my head. I'm
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: sure it's happened. Yeah, as as a team, but I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: just don't.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I haven't.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I haven't researched as much as I have with the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: other sports.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which I mean there's also probably a lot less
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: information to be had because even when newspapers were doing
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: high school stuff, they weren't really going nuts over over
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: golf nearly as much, you know what I mean. It's
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: actually you're probably doing more than those guys used to do. Tyler.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Let's talk top ten. This is a sorted or it's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: sorted by the eighteen hole average, and let's see here
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: we've got that. Well, we only have ten this week,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: which isn't always the case in golf, even though it
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: even though you think that the numbers would be kind
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of jumping in, you know, going crazy. Here in tenth place,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: we've got a young man from from Ferndale Tyler.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Gavin and Nabel from Ferndale is averaging eighty eight
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: point seven three eighteen holes. He's kind of locked in
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: that tenth spot. Guys have gone ahead of him, guys
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: have fallen below him, but he's been at number ten
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: for the last few weeks.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: One of the Meridian boys here at number nine.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Logan Jacobi had an awesome week, shot up this list,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: really really strong week. He's up to eighty seven point
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: three now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Bellingham a name that I recognize, Yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Evan Isisley our guy. He's been that top Bellingham golfer
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: this year, been really really steady. He had a get
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: a good week. He's up to the top ten now
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: at eighty six point three.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: One Mount Baker golfer comes in in the top ten
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: here at number seven.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Peyton Abidia from Mount Baker eighty five point three.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I think he had I think his I think week
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: two was kind of a struggle. I think he shot
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: he shot out of the gate really well and then
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: kind of had a down week, and then he came
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: back up and now he's in the top ten.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: We got a Mariner here at number six, Tyler and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking Seattle.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jackson Neva, tall, lanky golfer, knows how to use
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: all that that length and stretch and and gets it,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: gets a good drive on the ball.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Another murdy thing golfer at number five.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Nathan Larson had a tremendous week. Like I was
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: talking about, he has probably out of all these guys,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: has improved the most. And you know he's a guy
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: that we've seen as you know, a backup quarterback on
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the football team. He was the manager on the basketball
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: team and now one of the top golfers in the county.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And number four a young man that I recognize from Linden.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Jack Stapleton, all six foot seven of him. He
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: missed an event earlier in the year, but that doesn't
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: hurt your score here based on because it's an eighteen
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: hole average. But when he gets out, when he goes
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: out there, he's always, you know, within he's always kind
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: of with that top group that that's playing, and that's
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: got to be kind of intimidating when you see a
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: guy six foot seven step up in the box.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I see my guy here TB three making a move
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: on second place, getting real close here. But this week
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: at third.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he had he had a really good week. He
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: I think one of the events that he was at,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I think he may have took first place. He either
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: took first place or he was first within county golfers.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Travis Brockley the third now at seventy eight point three,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: really close to second place.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: At second place, just point three better than TV three.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Matthew Blankenberg Junior from from from Meridian. He's had
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: some some really good rounds as well. He's always he's
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: always right up there near the top and just a
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: really super consistent golfer.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And in first place. It should be no surprise a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: young man over five shots better than the second place
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: with the same name and.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I can't remember which was Daniel Blankenberg from from Meridian.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I can't remember which event it was this past week,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: but I think he shot under par in eighteen holes. Yeah,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I can't remember which event it was. I don't know
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: if it was the non league one or if it
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: was one of the conference ones. But holy cow, like,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: that's that's really impressive. And uh and uh, he's just
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: he's just one of those guys that every time he
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: goes out there, he seems like he never has a
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: bad round. And that's really that's really cool to see,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: very very consistent.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Last time I shot under par, Tyler is at this
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: really weird course in redmand where I was only allowed
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to use a putter. That's it for boys golf, Tyler.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Let's talk girls golf. The standings over there, oh, Carver one, Burlington,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Edison two, Meridian three, Linden four, Ferndale five, and we've
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: got Cedar, Woollie, Squalicum, Blaine, k Nooksack, Valley, Mount Vernon
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: rounding out the top ten. Let's talk Wacom County top
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: ten sorted by eighteen hole average, Tyler. Because you finally
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: got all the information in here.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Huh yeah, yeah, it was it was great and they
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I did find this out, because we were talking about
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: how they've been playing nine holes. I thought it was
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: a weather thing. But they don't play eighteen holes until
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: they get to after spring break.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: That's just how.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: It's been for girls golf because traditionally it's a little
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: bit slower of a game, and so when it's early
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: in the season, it's still you know, players are still
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: learning how to play and stuff like that, so it's
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: tough to get eighteen holes in and it's and it's
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: super dark. It can get dark earlier and it's not
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: as good as weather and all that stuff. So once
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: we get back, they will be playing eighteen holes. But
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I have all the information now, so thank
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: you to the coaches that have helped me out. It's
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: all lined up. I got an Excel sheet that gets
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: updated by the by like the you know, the main commissioner,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: athletic director or whatever of the girls golf and so yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: got all the information. It's been great and I've been
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: out to I went out to a few events this
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: this past week.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's a top ten with eleven girls because we've got
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: four tied for eighth place. Tyler, give me those four. Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Tessa Bearnson of Lyndon, Christian job Jensen of Meridian had
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: a meet of Ferndale and Rhys mcintee of Meridian, all
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: averaging one hundred and eleven in eighteen holes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And then we've got two tied with one hundred and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: ten in sixth place.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Reagan Millstead of Lyndon and Dallas Ranky of Meridian
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: at one ten.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And this is where it gets kind of wild, Tyler.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: We go from one ten, one to eleven to two
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: tie at one oh three in fourth place.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of ties here, and it is it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: jumping around, but these there are still ties. Lucy Jones
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: of and Thora Engen of Blaine, who's really kind of
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: I've watched her play recently. I saw her at where
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: it was at Sudden Valley golf Course, and yeah, she's
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: a player that I think is just gonna keep going
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: up this list because her ball striking is just is
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: really strong and she hits it straight and and yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: that's that's that. That that's awesome. I think she'll get
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: under one hundred here pretty quickly.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Right on one hundred, Tyler. How about third place?
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Callie Ton of Meridian, who's a freshman. This is
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: her first event was this this this this past week,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: and she did really really well in it. And so
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: it's always fun when you see a freshman come in
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: and and and play extremely well that he's like, Okay,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: here's a name we're gonna get used to for the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: next four years. And and so she's she's one of
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: those players.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see here at number two, we've got a young
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: lady from Ferndale.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Emily O'Toole. There's no surprise. There has been a
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: good golf the last few years. And yeah, she shot
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: a forty four, which comes out to an eighty eight
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: for this past week, so that was her best round.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: She shot a fifty, then a fifty three in this
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: past week of forty four, so things are starting to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: look up for her.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Now in a first place here, Tyler, we've got a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: young lady, I believe did she give us the intro
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: last week week before.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Something she did last week?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she is eleven shots better than second place. M
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that is I mean, that's that's a gap and a
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: half right there. I mean that is truly impressive.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kinsey Rector is amazing and I'm I was shocked
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: to find out she was still a junior. I just
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: she is such a great player, and there's been some
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: great players over the past for girls golf, you know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I think of Katie Sharp with Bellingham in the mid
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: two thousands, that she was a part of four state
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: championship teams. I believe she won an individual one herself,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: and Kinsey directors starting to carve out her name as
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: being one of the best, you know in Walkham County,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: you know history, and yeah, just a great, great player.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: It was funny because she gave the intro and I
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: think the following day, I think on that Monday, or
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: maybe it might have been Tuesday, I went out and
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: watched her play. And I always feel so weird taking
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: pictures of golf because I don't want to be a distraction.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: She kind of gotta be in a good spot. And
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I was kind of like kind of not really hiding
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: behind a tree, but sort of taking pictures and and
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: and it was funny because like she hit her shot,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: she started walking up, she looks at me and she
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: just like waves like hey, Tyler, like you know, and
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay, at least okay, she knows I'm there.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think it distracted her. She hit a good
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: shot and this in this past week, they a lot
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: of the walking kind of teams came back and played
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: at Sudden Valley later in the week because they had
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: like this. It was a non conference match, but it
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: was like a what, there's a thing they do every year,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I think right before spring break where it's the Walkham
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: County Championship. So it's like, all, it's just Walkham County teams. Yeah,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: and they all play and she was sick so she
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: didn't get to participate, which was too bad because I
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: was like looking for her everywhere on the app and
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why is she not She's the favorite and
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: she wasn't out there. So I hope she's feeling better.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Obviously should be able to rest up during spring bak,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: which is good. But she is. She's very, very good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: There's no holes in her game, you know. It's there's
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: eighteen holes in her game.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Is there a hole in one game? Yeah?
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, there you go. I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: that's great.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see. So that's boys and girls golf Tyler. Yeah,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: for the for the week. There, let's move on top
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: girls tennis. Uh, not much going on here. In terms
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of changes. We've got Linden, We've got Sea Home, We've
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: got Bellingham. They are all still undefeated, and each team
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: has some undefeated girls as well. We've got how about Tyler.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: How about you give it to me this way? How
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: about who is undefeated from Bellingham? Yeah?
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: In singles competition, Kira Carlson, Ela Moro, Malia Hanks and
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Ivy Brooks. So I mean you only play four now.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of times Carlson and Morrow will team up
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: because they were the you know, they're the defending state
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: champions in doubles, so you don't always have those four
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: playing in singles. But when they do play in singles,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: and you get Malia Hanks, who is a number one
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: ranked player as far as like, you know, you have
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: your one and your when you have her playing the
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: number three from another team, holy cow. So that's they're
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: all undefeated in singles player. It's really incredible.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: How about Lyndon.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Lyndon, Avery Brooks, Holly Brooks and Rolana Newcombe. I'm learning
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: a lot about the Brooks twins. They are juniors. I'm
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: just finding this out, and I don't know if they
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: transferred to Linden. I thought they may have been freshmen,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: but they are as dominant as it gets. And Rolanda Newcombe,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: she's just a really good athlete. You know. She's a
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: sharpshooter on the basketball team that's won the last two
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: state championships. And she's just one of those players that
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: was was really good last year in doubles and now
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: she's going into singles and she hasn't lost yet.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they're related to the Brooks from Bellingham.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not, Yeah, I'm not. I'm not too sure.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: The tough thing is that, you know, you go to
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: an event and they have like their jersey or their
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: hoodie on and it just says Brooks on the back.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: And they're twins. So if I take a picture, I
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: won't know which ones which unless I see that they're
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: playing on court one or court two, and then I
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: see the info the next morning who played on court one,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: who played on court two? But yeah, I did get
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: a picture of one of them. I posted, and I
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: didn't even write a caption because I'm like, I don't
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: want to get it wrong.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: You just put Brooks, Yeah, Brooks, that's all put And
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you can't even put a Brooks because it could be avery.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, right right right, I just say,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and Brooks won one of the brooks is will always win, uh, last,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: but not Leasia. A couple of Seahome tennis players Tyler.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Amelia Everett and Gabriella Gracia Salgado, and I saw them.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: I went out to see Home watch Sea home play
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: later in the week. I might have been Thursday. I
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: think I went and saw Bellingham earlier. I think on Tuesday.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: And when I saw when I saw seem Everett was
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: actually playing doubles competition, I believe, and so so they
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: like to move things around a little bit. So gig
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Gabriella was playing the number one player from from CI,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Joe Woolley and uh and she's she's a left handed player.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: It's so fun watching left handed players because it's it
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: just looks different, you know, and and.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: It's like a lefty picture just always seems to be
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: more fun.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it can it can mess with
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: you a little bit as far as when you're playing
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: against them because you're so used to a ball maybe
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: spinning a certain way or doing this, or here comes aforehand.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: So I gotta be no I got it's coming this way.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: So it's like it's so strange. But she really really
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: impressed me. I've been spelling her name wrong all, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: since the beginning of the season, and I she called
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: me out on it. I thanked her, I apologize, I
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: fixed it, and she's like, no, it's okay, and I
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: was like, no, I already fixed it. I already fixed it.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: So please, if I ever do spell a name wrong
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: or something, please let me know as soon as possible.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Because it's not a it's not a print. I mean,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: you know, I can go back and edit things, so
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: please let me know. I'm so glad she did. And
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: and that's what fun is learning about these these these
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: new athletes. And I want if I take a picture
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: of them, I want to tag them on so social media,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: and sometimes I can't, I can't find them. But if
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: they reach out to me, then there they are. Boom.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I can start tagging them and and uh and go
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: from there and and makes it makes it that much
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: more fun.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And at the end of the day, I mean
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: like sometimes either a maybe you've accidentally switched two letters
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: around or sometimes and this happened to me the other day,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Sometimes the coach puts it into the system wrong or something.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've been spelling a kid his name wrong
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the entire time. And he didn't say anything to me.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I just happened to notice it because I was in
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: final forms looking something up and then boom, and I
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: looked at it. I went, wait a minute, I don't
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: think that's how I've been spelling his name. And I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: went and look at it, went oh crap. I mean,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I mean they don't wrong for the whole baseball season.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what's funny. Like on the on the basketball
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: roster this past year for Nuiksack Valley they had Corey
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: one co O r e Y. And I'm like, I've
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: been writing his I've been doing his name c r
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Y four years and there's no way that's wrong. Yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: and that's what happened. They put his name on the
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: roster incorrect.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: So it's like if it's a player that I know
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: really well, then all know. But then I think back to, uh,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: who was Zach Chisholm from co Home. I remember him
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: played a few few years ago, and and I've been
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: talking about him for like three years all that stuff,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: and then when I announced where he was on the
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Top one hundred list. He's like, he's like, thanks for
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: everything over the years, you know, thanks for naming me
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: on the top one our list. By the way, Chisholm
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: is c Chisholm. I wasn't putting in the second age
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: for all these years. And he finally let me know.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: And the last time I'm ever gonna mention his name. Yeah,
• 28:16

• 31:27
  Speaker 3: uh locker room now that they that they've worked on
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: is so cool. And then and then I was just
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: kind of in the area and I was like, well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I still got like a little bit of time to
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: go before I get to Ariady in high school. But
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: just went out, just went up there and just enjoyed.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: The weather was fantastic. It was the first event I'd
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: been to and I don't know how long where I
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: wasn't wearing a walk and preps hoodie. It was so
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: warm out. Oh yeah, and and and it was just

• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the relay team that was, you know, basically the state
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: championship basketball team, so that was really cool. I mean
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: it was It's just one of those really fun events
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: where everywhere you go you're running at people who you know,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and it was fun. I got to talk to, you know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Brady Ackerman and Colton Lentz that are doing track for
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the first time, and they're just they're enjoying themselves. They're like, yeah,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: our forum is horrible, but we're doing all right, you know,

  Speaker 3: and they're both you know, I think Brady took first
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: in the shot put at that event, and yeah, it
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: was it was a lot of fun. So a lot
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: of a lot of good things happening in track and field.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: And that's one of those sports too, when when the
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: weather's good and it's an event like that where there's
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of stuff going on with a lot of
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: different teams, it seems like I always take a lot
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: of good pictures because there's really fun things you can
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: take pictures of at track and field events, whether it's
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: a high jump and they're looking back right at you,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: or it's a you know, a pole vault, or you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: a long jump and the's flying up. I mean, there's
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: just some really fun things and you know, you just
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: hope for some good pictures or hurdles or whatever. And yeah,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: it's it's one of my favorite events of the year.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: We had a four to thirty baseball game on Friday, Tyler.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: First really true beautiful baseball day of the year. Yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: four thirty, perfect time for the sun for me and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: my camera. Yeah, I forgot my memory card. All right,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the new times in Watcam County here, Tyler.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: We will start with the boys. Uh, we've got a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: whole new I want to be a whole new runner
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: sprinter here in the one four hundred and eight hundred, Tyler,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: So give me the one hundred first. It's actually a
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: name that we know how to say now because we
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: learned it in football.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and he got it by one one hundredths
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: of a second. So Anson Osby ornson of Squalkum, who
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: we knew was fast and good, didn't know he was
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: this fast. So that's really cool, and we know how
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: that tracks be translates to the football field. Good for
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: him running an eleven point three six now the top
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: time in walkin County and the four hundred heath Terry
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: of Seahome has the best time now fifty two point
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: two three seconds, and a name we know in the
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: eight hundred meter Ruben Taveldi of Meridian now has the
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: top time in the eight hundremeters one minute fifty four
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: point eight five seconds.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and tavelde also the sixteen hundred meters he had
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the rerecord or the best time, but he's got a
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: new best time. Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: He did this at home at the Trojan Twilight four
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: minutes twenty one point five to nine seconds. Just keeps
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: bettering his time. There's a few other runners. There's some
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: you know, Berkeley Pass of Bellingham, Nicholas Loose from Lennon Christian.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Once he gets healthy, there's going to be some guys
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: that are going to be right up there next to him.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: But right now, Ruben Taveldi in what basically you call
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: the mile run in four minutes twenty one point five
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: nine seconds, very and very impressive.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: One hundred and ten meter hurdles, same runner, new time
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: as well. Tyler.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd spend hundred percent from Bellingham. Ever since we started.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: He keeps bettering his time every week in the one
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: ten meters and now at fifteen point zero five, a
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: sub fifteen is just crazy. You do not see that
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: very often. And if he if he can pull that off,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: that would be amazing. Some people listening might remember Andre
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Korbmacher from Squalkum who ran and this is this is
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: nuts a thirteen five five one in the one ten meter. Yeah,
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: he's like I think he's always now he's the best
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: hurdler like at Florida State and probably gonna, you know,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: qualify for the Olympics. Where was that Squalicum?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Holy wow?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Man graduated in twenty twenty three, and because usually like
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: fifteen flat is like flying in the one ten highs,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: he had a thirteen five five And if I go
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: to boys Bellingham like so his best ever last year
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: he ran a fourteen to five five hunter did and
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the school.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Was a half a second fasterom than what he ran.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah and so and the school record looks like at
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: fourteen point two seven from what I have, So so
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: he's right there's he's uh, he's one of the best,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: and and uh he's gonna And that's one of the
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: things too about hurdles is sometimes you can just kind
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: of keep getting little bit better every week, and he's
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: done that.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is what do you say the time
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: was the young man that's that Florida State or whatever,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: thirteen to five five?
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: That is insane.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: That is that is like, I mean, that's truly unbelievable.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: If I look at all the Walking County records in
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: track and field and like, what's the most unbreakable one?
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: That probably it. There's some There was a major throw
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: by a Ferndale girl one year. I can't remember if
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: it was in discus or shot, but it's like she's
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: way out ahead of everybody. There's a few of them
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: that are pretty pretty crazy, pretty astronomical, because like Pete Pete,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Pete Kalgs I thought was never going to be touched,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: you know, he went and was like a national Championshop
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: but thrower at you, dub and stuff like that, and
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: he but Steve Ayers got him, you know, And so
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: there's there's times when that can get broken. But I
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: don't think corn Mocker will ever be ever be touched.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So his time in the state championships is the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: best ever of any boy at any level. And that
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: is a thirteen to seven to four I mean, my goodness. Yeah, yeah,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: my goodness. And here's the crazy thing too, he's got
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: the best three hundred what is i eveh intermediate hurdles,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: that's the lower Yeah, yeah, it's the medium ones. Yeah,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: thirty six point three for the three hundred I mean.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and usually if you can break forty, like, that's
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: super oppressive.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Wow, I mean it's I'm not even sure I could
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: get over one of those things. Let let alone run
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: three hundred meters of them. Yeah. Wow. Uh, let's see
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the last one we got here, Tyler, we've got the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: four by one hundred relay and uh, our guy Osby
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Ornson he's bringing in the back end of it. I get.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I guess is that how you write it, Tyler? Do
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: you write it all the way to the back like that?
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I do it by first like second leg.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, he's he's helping squalal Coum here. He's
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: got the uh bringing in the what is it the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: anchor I think they call it they And yeah, so
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a whole new time. Was there a Squalcum team that
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: had it before or who was it before? I don't
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: even remember.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago they did the blame running
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: backs before the Cooby ship and Jaydon bioh yeah guys,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: but uh but now Squalkum has retaken it with a
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: new team Lucas Shannon Marcus, Than, Jacob Trumper and anton
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Osby Ornson forty five point zero five. So that's uh,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: that's that's a great time. But this is one of
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: those races that could change every single week because all
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: it takes is if you get if you get you know,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: three Chris handoffs and without breaking your motion and stuff
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: like that, then then that's fantastic. I've seen some great
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: teams that have been out in front, you know, in
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: first place and then on that second handoff, the baton
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: goes on the ground and boom, now you're last. And
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: it's just just just like that. So uh, you never
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: know what is with the releays.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Just looking up here too, your guy Cordmaker there. Yeah,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: second team All American Indoor Track and Field this last season. Yeah,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: he actually won on first place and said a new
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: personal best in the sixty hurdles, which obviously, like I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: don't know what is a good time there, but seven
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: point five eight seems ridiculously fast. That was at the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: ACC Track and Field Indoor Championships. Yeah so uh yeah,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: so I mean he was an indoor champion as just
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: a what would be sophomore. Yeah so, I mean, my goodness,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: that is absolutely cooking, man, let me tell you.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I got to see him live a few times.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: And when you see a really good hurdler, yeah, it's
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: like it's just they do not break stride. It's like
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Like the boom uh boom, it's just where they go
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and it's like, my god goodness.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: And it's like when they're jumping over the hurdle, like
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: their head is not getting any higher. Yeah yeah, it's
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: like it's like it's like they look fake doing it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: It's almost like they're floating, like yeah, yeah, super impressive.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Uh okay, So that's it for the boys. We've got
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: quite a few new girls times here. Uh. Starting with
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the one hundred and two hundred tyler, where Addison Warner
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: had the time in the one hundred, she bettered her time,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: and then now she also took over the time for
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: the two hundred.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that really shows dominance there as the fastest
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: girl in Walking County right now twelve point five flat
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: uh in the one hundred, So that's that betters her
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: previous time when she was the leader, and now in
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: the two hundred and twenty six point one two. So
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: that's that is really really impressive holding holding both of those.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: As far as as her own personal I'm not quite sure.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I don't think I have it, but yeah, she's she's
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: she's extremely fast. And there are some other really good sprinters.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, Keiki York is right there to Morgan Delgado
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: I believe from Lynn Christian is one of the better
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: ones too. But right now, Addison Warners in the classify herself.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Let's talk eight hundred meters Tyler where we've got a
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: whole new name.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kirsten Ludeman from Sea Home two minutes fifteen point
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: nine to four seconds kind of you know, and I don't.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, I do a lot of coverage and I
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: try to do as much as I can. But to me,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: this was kind of a name that came out of
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: nowhere to me. So she may have been the kind
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: of hovering right there below and just finally got pasted,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: or she may have came out of nowhere, I don't know,
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: but really really impressive time for the Seal Mariner.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: In the thirty two hundred meters. It's a name that
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: is like not unfamiliar to us. It's a name that
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: we've heard a lot on this podcast. Tyler.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think she even gave us an intro. Actually
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: ross cross country Logan Ignosio from Meridian, No surprise there
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: eleven minutes thirty five point four to seven seconds, eight
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: laps around Sorrow doing some awesome things at the Trojan Twilight.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: You know, I think she took first place and I
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: want to say three different events. You know, there's a
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: few other athletes that did that. Kate Shintaffer did that
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: and talk about three completely different events. I think she
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: did it like in long jump, javelin and pole vault
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: or something like that. You get a really good athlete,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: you can do all sorts of things. But yeah, Logan
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Ignacio and I believe she's just a junior as well.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: She's We've been talking about her for a long time
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: and really really impressive athlete.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: In the one hundred meter hurdles. We've got the same runner,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: but a new time, Tyler.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot like hundred decennis from from Bellingham.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Bellaconelle of Si home now at fifteen point three nine,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: and it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough to
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: catch her. I think there's a runner out at Lyndon Christian,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: maybe Van Weirdeuisen that's pretty good at the one hundred hurles,
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: But right now it's Bellocanelle up ahead of everybody.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I mean with that time, Tyler, it might be tough
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: for her to catch her. Yeah. Yeah, let's see here.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Now we jump all the way down to the discus
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: where we've got a whole new name here, Tyler.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ellie van Lowe of Lynnon Christian, who I believe
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: led last year too, So she wasn't leading earlier on
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: this year. Maybe there was an injury or something or
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: just kind of or weather or whatever. But now she's
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: right kind of back to where she was last year,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: one hundred and thirteen feet in the discus. And I
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: remember last year when she threw her personal best. I
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: was at a meet out in Ferndale. I was right
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: there when it happened. I was actually there to take
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: pictures of a different thrower, and she kind of came
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere and won it. And I remember, right
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: then and there, I was like, holy cow, and I
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: was taking pictures to make sure I got the name right.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: And it's I love I love it when you're right
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: there in person and you witness kind of like a
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: changing of the guard of a new athlete. That's that's dominating.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: And I got to see it right there, and those
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: are the those are things that imprint on my mind.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: I'll never forget.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: At the pole vault, Tyler, we've got a young lady
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: that has the best well what height in Wakam County
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: and she's just breaking school records of her own left
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: and right.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. She did it again, second week in
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: a row, breaking her own school record now a poll
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: vault of eleven feet and zero point five inches. And
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: that's what's unique is that usually with pole vaults, you
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: see you see heights of you know, ten, ten, six, eleven, eleven, six, twelve,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: like they don't really break away from that six inch
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: differences unless you're trying something or you're like, okay, I
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: need to move it to this because I could get
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: a you know so, and that's what's always fun is
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: you see those and you're like or there's there's heights,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: and you're just like, yeah, she was definitely going for
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: something and she got it. So congratulations to her. Awesome
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: kid too, you.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Know, Tyler, that's something we got to figure out here
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: when it comes to like pole vault, high jump, and
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess even like long jump, triple jump,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: can somebody tell us what to say, Like when you're running,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: it's a time mm hmm. But with the long jump jump,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: should we be saying distances and the pole vault and
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the high jump, should we be saying heights? I mean,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on here.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: I think I think that with I think you're right
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: with the long jump and triple jump. I think distances
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: are good or jumps. And I have heard people say
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: a jump for a pole vault, Like I've heard that.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean you do kind of jump, I.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Mean yeah, or a vault or you could say a height.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think we'd be wrong. And if there is
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: an expert out there listening and.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, or like discus that's a new distance. Yeah, yeah,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you know, like that one makes sense to me high jump. Okay, uh,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: that would make senses like a jump Paul vault. Would
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I think it would be weird to say jump and
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: this next one here, I guess I'll say it is.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: We could say a new jump or the long jump
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: has a new jump. That doesn't I mean that sounds weird,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: but that's what a new distance? Yeah, I mean, I
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what to say there. I'm
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I'm far from an expert. I know this fast. People
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: are fast, and that's a new time. Other than that,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I'm fairly useless as some of this goes, except for
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: when you say something Tyler and I go wow, that
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: seems like a lot, and then you look it up
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, this is a lot so long jump.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: We got a whole new name here, Tyler.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Adriana Phillips of Seaholme. There's another athlete that kind
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: of like Ludeman from from Seahome that I don't recognize
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: at all. And usually if I don't recognize the name,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: then it's it's she's either really new or or I'm
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: just missing something. But to come out of nowhere and
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: get a sixteen feet seven and a half inch jump
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: that is extremely impressive. So Adrianna Phillips see home, great
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: great job.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Also impressive the triple jump, a new distance, a new jump,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: a new long for a young lady from lynn and Grifton.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kaylen Hinton improving on her distance thirty five feet
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: even now. I you know, I'm trying to think back girls,
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: triple jump thirty five feet? That is that just I'm
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: trying to think, like, who's done that in the last
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: few years. I don't know if that's been done and
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: you know, I I don't know. It's it's really tough
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: that the school record that I have for Lynnen Christian
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: from the triple jump is Terrell Van Dyke ninete ninety
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: six thirty eight feet even and from what I have
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: again to thirty five would be good for fifth place
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: in school history. And I believe she's a freshman. So
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: that is exciting, you know, to me, that's like, okay,
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: this is this is something to keep an eye on.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: And and you know, you could go to a net
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: and see like they do such a great job with
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: their database and all these distances and times and heights
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: and jumps and whatever you want to call them. Of
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: basically the last twenty one years, twenty two years. But
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: but if somebody did something in the nineties or the eighties, like,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: it's not there. And so I've gone back and looked
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: at tons of track and field events and found new
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: top ten placements that I could fit in here and there,
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: and and a lot of schools haven't posted just through
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: their record holders are in each event, so I can get,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: you know, info from those every time. I people see
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: me all the time. I'm at a basketball game and
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: I'll walk by a wall and I'll I'll look and
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: I'll just take my phone out and click and I'll like,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I'll look at that later. That's you know, it's like
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: a track and field you know, records for that school. Yeah,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: And I just want to make sure it matches with
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: what I have because you know, there was a guy Ferndale,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: Ralph Seger in nineteen fifty nine that through the javelin
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: two hundred and eleven feet. Well, I'm probably not going
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: back that. I mean, I can, but I haven't yet
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: to find that out. Now that was the old javelin
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: that's a little lighter, but still it's impressive to see
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: those things where you know that's not gonna be on
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: athletic dot net and that's what I'm trying to build
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: as as a database that can go back further for
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Walkham County.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: So I was just curious, Tyler, as to what is
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: the state record for at the state championships for the
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: triple jump for girls triple jump, Yeah, Lexi Ellis of
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Curtis in twenty eighteen jumped forty three six.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. I was gonna say, don't tell me
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: it's over forty.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Like I mean, there's quite a few of
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: them over forty and this is amazing too. So not
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: to try to get too far off topic here, Tyler,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: because we don't want to be brutal, but the high
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: jump is six feet one inch and that was done
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: by Mary Moore who very well could be related to
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Gary Moore of is a Quah High School in nineteen
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: eighty three. Nobody has bested her since nineteen eighty.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Three, Walkham County. I have a Walkham County record in
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: the high jump is at five ten for girls. Wow,
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: that was Stacey Cowan of Ferndale in two thousand and two.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: And for triple jump.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, and that's actually the best in three a state
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: championship history. Okay, yeah, she didn't have her name at
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: zerah yeah five ten.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: Oh nice, and see that that's the thing. I don't
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: have it in front of me. If she did it
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: at the state.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: Champ yeah, well she did. She did it at the
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: state championship. I don't know if she did it other times. Right.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: And then Jessica Deats from Mount Baker in nineteen ninety
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: had a triple jump of thirty nine feet three inches
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: and I think I think she went to Wazoo for
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: the triple jump. I'm almost positive.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Would you say thirty nine feet three inches? Yeah? So
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: the best ever at the state championships in one A
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: is thirty nine feet three and a half inches by
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Summer Welch of Ni Cheese Valley in twenty seventeen.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So this was a nineteen ninety Gina Flint through
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: the discus one hundred and sixty eight feet. Holy cats,
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: that's a walking county record by twenty eight feet.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: What school does she go to squalk them? So then
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: she would have been what two A or three A?
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, two A and twenty thirteen.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I believe discus uh in two A was one sixty
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: one eleven discus three A is one seventy three oh one. Yeah,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: there's some there's some records here Tyler in the Girls
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: that go all the way back to nineteen seventy seven.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the in the Blaine Boys top ten.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: The ninth best discus thrower and boys is Ted Hanson
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: in nineteen twenty nine.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: He won the state title with the discus throw of
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty three feet and eleven inches. That's
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: still good for ninth place in school history. Wow, and
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: we're talking, you know, ninety six years ago.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's incredible. And then it's you know something I
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: guess I should mention here, like I don't look that
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: up as like, oh kaylin Hinton isn't good. I look
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: it up because it's like some of these things that
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: have been accomplished in this state are truly incredible, and
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: it just sometimes it puts into perspective like how good
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: some of this stuff? I mean, Tyler, thirty five feet
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: is actually pretty insane when you think about what it
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: takes to actually play crazy.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. I mean you I go to an
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: event and you might see two or three girls get
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: over thirty two. Yeah. So for her to get that,
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: and she's getting better. That's the thing. She had the
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: record or the school, not the record, but the high
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: for Walkham County, YEP, and she's already bettered it. So
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: that's really really impressive. I also have a shot put
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: from one hundred years ago, Jay Borhave of Lyndon forty
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: seven feet ten and three quarters inches in nineteen twenty five.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: That's still good for one two three four five six
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: seventh place all time. And the guys ahead of them
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: are Kuiper Sinc, Bryce Sterk, Matthew Matthew Ferdick. I mean,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: we know all these guys.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, these guys that are doing it with
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: probably a little bit better training, a little bit better
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: like weightlifting programs too that help them.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, jay Borie was just fucking bails and and yeah,
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: moving bodies and moving shots.
• 53:25

  Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and twenty seventeen start on April seventeenth, so
• 55:00

  Speaker 1: until May seventh, so still some time. And everything from
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: eighteenth excuse me, twenty eighteen to high school, it's pretty
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: much right in a row. It's it's twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: and then twenty sixteen and twenty fifteen and twenty fourteen,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: then thirteen, twelve, eleven. It all goes right in a
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: row from April seventeenth down to May seventh, and it's
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: basically the exact same thing with the boys twenty eighteen
• 55:26

• 55:39
  Speaker 1: dot com. Let's talk standings here really quickly, Tyler. And
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: we've got Seahome and Squalicum still technically undefeated. Hopefully they
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: play soon. It'll be a heck of a game. But
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Bellingham right on their tails with only one loss and
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Lynden just the one loss. Still anything going on, Tyler,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: other than Ferndale adding on a couple more ties this week.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they got, they got, They're set to
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: go to a lot of school dances with all those ties.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Tyler, they don't like to win, but they
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: also hate losing. So they're one one in five. I mean,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: that is absolutely incredible.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: And from what I've gathered, and that's just in conference play.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: What I what I've gathered is that they've played really,
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: really well and they're just like they're out shooting their opponents.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: That's just it's just been it's just been happening. Ok. Yeah, Yeah,
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: And that's just kind of you know, and I know
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: they had one against they had a game at Sea
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: Drow where they were they the Sea Drow tied it
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: up with like thirty seconds to go, which that is
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: that's heartbreaking. Sea Home Seaholme had a tie with with
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: with Mount Vernon. That was a little surprising to me
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: because I've seen Mount Vernon play and I've seen Seahoim play,
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: and I thought Seahome was much stronger. It was at
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: Sea Home and I was joking around with Nick from
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: Cascaded Daily News. We were at a we were at
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: a fast pitch game out at Ferndale, and I was
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: asking where he's gonna be the rest the week, and
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: he's like, he goes, I gotta catch soccer. I haven't
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: seen him yet. I'm gonna go see him against Mount Vernon.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: I kind of was like, oh, that's they're gonna crush them,
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: and that.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: You know, was two to two.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: I was a little surprised by that. I think they
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: might have been without Bain Mitchell, who's their goalkeeper, and
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: so that that could have been part of it. But see,
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: I'm still very very strong. A lot of speed talk
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: about speed Man squawalk him is so fast. That's That's
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: one thing is really standing out to me. I saw
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: them at home against no Ooksack Valley on Thursday, and
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: they had a great week. I mean they had big ones,
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: I think the one like five zero and eight zero,
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: and so that was just, you know, really really stood out.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: They have so many great players that can score, and
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: and then the team speed is is just fantastic. So
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: you know, it's uh, the there hasn't been much jocking
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: and position as far as where they at and where
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: they're at in the standings, but you know, they'll take
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: this week off. When they come back, you'll start seeing
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: some of these heavy hitters go against each other and
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: you might start seeing some movement after that.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I mean once we get these teams playing
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: each other, the top teams, Tyler, Yeah, oh my goodness.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I mean this could be some real bouncing around here. Right,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. Let's see, we've got the top goal scorers, Tyler,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: and we're in the top ten. But this is almost
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: to the point where you could put several with four
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: because we've got six guys tied for fifth place.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. Well and Linden. Linden only had the
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: one game this week and it was against Mount Baker
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: and that's a forfeit, so they didn't even get on
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: the pitch. Victor hure Racha and Eddie Brissino both have four.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: They had four last week, so they haven't moved. Mason
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Ichevik of Seaholm has four, Dima Yuriev of Blaine has four.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: Blaine's been struggling this year, but he seems to get
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: a goal every game. Skyler Rowe of Meridian has four,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: and Chris Mugzuel of Seahome has for it. That kid
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: that Chris kids Sea home is past as well. Holy cow,
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: you get like a lead pass out there and they
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: start sprinting down the end there, and you see how
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: fast these kids are, and especially when it's right up close,
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: because you get to stand pretty close. So at least
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: I do. And and yeah, he can motor. And so
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: all those kids tied with four goals right now.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Then we've got a couple of guys here tied with
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: five goals. That brings us up to third place.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Isaac Grimes of Squalicum and Rudy Zurcher of Seahome.
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: And Rudy he scored those both those goals and that
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: two to two tie against Mount Vernon. So he had
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: the big one goal when they beat Bellingham one nil
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: and this one the two to two. So he seems
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: to score his goals when the team needs it the most.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: And he's right now as the leading scorer for the Mariners.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: And a second place is a young man from Squalicum.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cody McCauley. I think he scored in both games
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: this week, and he had a few goals in one
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: of them. Great great week by him. He's July vaulted
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: up to second place now, uh, and still on top, Tyler,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: he is the king, if you will at the moment,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: uh harvest.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: Howell's still hanging in there.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he had another goal this week, so now up
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: to nine on the on the year, So he's got
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: a he's got a nice healthy lead there as they
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: go into the break, and I tell you what they're
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: gonna they're They're they're gonna need him going forward because
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Lyndon Christian, I tell you, they are like they I
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: think they had they may have had a tie against
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: Mount Vernon as well. I mean, they are very, very talented,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: especially when they play at home. It's a little different
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: size field. They kind of know how to use that
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: field and it is they're really really impressive. But they're
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: they're one of those teams that is gonna start making
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: a move up. Yeah, they're they're the they have the
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: best record among the one A teams right now. But
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: you're gonna start them. You're gonna start seeing them get
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: about five hundred pretty quickly. And he's gonna be a
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: big reason why.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: That is it for the standings and the goals Tyler,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: We've got the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week,

• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: scored a lot of goals. They are becoming one of
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: those teams that is going to be wrecked to be
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: reckoned with. And when they play Sea Home, that's gonna
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: be one that I am going to have to be
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: at no matter what. I can't wait. And Cody McCauley,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: big time player, had a great, great week and he's

• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Is he is he a Walkam preps guy. He's a
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: big fan of Walkham Preps Tyler.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: He's helped me out a little bit with scores here
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: and there, so I think that I think he's aware.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, I never want to say if anyone's a
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: big fan, I don't know.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, he better be a fan. My goodness, he's
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: a man. A player of the week, Tyler. Yeah, let's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: see here. Who is it that you said you wanted
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: to see Squalcumb in Bellingham?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: Squalicum see home is the one that.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Last game of the year Thursday, May one.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, last game of the year.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Squaalcom Bellingham Saturday, April nineteenth, and the Squalkum does not
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: play Linden although they they already beat them.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: And if and I don't and you don't have to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: look for this, you know, I mean, I know you
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: probably will. But I think last year, I think they
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: played each other in the district championship game and it
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: was I want to say, it was kind of an
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: upset as Squalkam got him in a shootout and then
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: see Home had to you know, rebound and come back
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: in the tournament.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, I believe that is correct.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: I remember then, and then they ended up coming back
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: and then you know, getting their way in and then
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: they ended up getting I think like second state.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: So yes, they were. Weren't they the only team to
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: make it to stay?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: You know, I think two teams got in, like the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: team that won the district championship. Yes, in, but if
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: you lost, you got to keep winning to get in.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, but I believe didn't. Weren't they the only one
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: from Wacom County Oh to get into the final four? Oh,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: that's what it was. Yeah, the final four.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so uh let's see here. You're saying see Home.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: I think Squlcome won the district championship against se Home
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: in a shootout.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Well the only oh was that the one nothing game
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: or zero zero? Yeah? I was on Tuesday May seventh,
• 1:03:29

• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: the same thing for pretty much all of them. I mean,

  Speaker 1: here's wan Acchi, Mount Vernon, Tri Cities, ever Everett Everett,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Well they go to every quite a few times. But yeah,

  Speaker 1: here's Kent. This team here, the eighteen U team, Tyler, Yeah, Everett, Lacy,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon, Las Vegas, and Surrey BC. I might join
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: the team just to go have a trip to Las Vegas.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: Well, he got to make the team first. So I
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: know everybody on that team, and they are so talented. Yeah.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: Well, not to mention, I don't have a chance. I
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: don't have the knees. I don't have the knees. For
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: the standings, Tyler, we'll talk about them here in a
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: second brought to you by Acceleration Driving School in Linden.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Three six zero seven four six four five six seven
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Again that's Acceleration Driving School in Linden. Let's go through
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: the standings here really quickly, Tyler, and we'll start with Meridian, Squalicum,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: and Bellingham. The Trojans one in foreign conference play, two
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: and five overall. Squalcum oh and five oh and seven
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: and then Bellingham oh and five, oh and eight.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, you know all had a rough week. Uh
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: none of no, nobody getting a win. But really I
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: talked about this last week was with squalalcum is their
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: scoring runs. Man. Uh they put up ten runs against Blaine.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Blaine got them fifteen to ten, and that really really
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: impressed me. Meridian's got a lot of talent on that team.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: The one thing that's tough as is there are there
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: two pitchers are still kind of getting used to the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: varsity level. They're both freshmen, and that that can get tough.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, they can score runs. Well, uh, it just
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: didn't it just didn't come It just didn't come true.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: This this past week, Bellingham still struggling. I mean they
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: had to face the state champions siege for Woolly team,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: which is you know, tough for anybody in Walking County
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: and and I just you know, I give a lot
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: of credit to those to those BayHawks that keep showing
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: up and playing because they're kind of out outmanned, if
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: you will. But man, they they they play hard and
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: they are I think I want to say they're having
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: fun because I am I am seeing smiling smiles on
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: their faces. I'm going out to the games, I'm seeing them,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: and I just I just don't because that program, there
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't a program for a while where teams had to
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: go play at other schools and stuff, and so I
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: just I really hope that, uh, they can continue to
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: have fun and grow as a team and learn stuff,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: and that's what it's all about for a lot of
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: these teams. But I would imagine squal COUM's gonna start
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: getting some w's here and there, and and Meridian, you know,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: they've been playing some really tough teams. They ran into
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: some really good ones this week and it was a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: tough one for them.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Next up, kind of the middle of
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the pack, if you will, We've got Mount Baker they
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: are three and three in league five and four overall,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: Blaine two and two, three and two, Lynn Christian three
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: and three, four and six, and then see Home two
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: and three and three and five.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. SEEOM had a little bit of a of a
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: of a rough week. They started out really strong this year,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: played some tough teams. I was at the game at
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: home on Thursday against Burlington Edison. They were without a
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: couple of their top players just sent to Lewis Rebecca Peterson,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: and I was thinking, oh, maybe it's just like right
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: before spring break. Maybe they're getting an early spring break.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: So that was that was tough.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: And you know, you take a couple of big time
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: bats out of the lineup. You know, Rebecca Peterson's usually
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: batting clean up, playing shortstop, she's not there. Just sent
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: to Lewis, who just hit that walk off home run
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: last week, She's not there. She bats lead off. So
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: that's that's tough to contend with at that point. And
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: they were able to get that win. They did come
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: back at the end there, uh, but it just wasn't
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: enough runs in that final inning. Lyndon Christian they had
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: a really good week. Actually, they just had a really
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: tough schedule early on in the year and they're they've
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: been scheduling everybody. But you know, they went and they
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: beat Nuksack Valley. I was at that game. That was
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: that was really really good. They did lose to Mount Vernon.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Mount Vernon is showing that they're one of the best
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: teams in the Northwest Conference. And then uh, and then
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: they beat Bellingham. So they had a they had a
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: pretty good week, UH put up put up some some
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: good numbers. I think they're gonna keep rising up at
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: the standis because their schedule was very top heavy early on.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: Uh Blaine only played the one game and got the
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: win fifteen to ten over Squalakum. Like I said earlier,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: they've only played five games so far this year. They've
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: been kind of they've been kind of bit by the
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: old rainbug earlier on, like they were they were kind
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: of the one team. But I think they're kinda they
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: might be getting in some games maybe this past week
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: to kind of catch up with everybody some non conference
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: and then Mount Baker is the team that you know,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: I saw them. I saw that they beat Sea Home
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: earlier in the week, got him twenty two to five,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: which kind of surprised me because Sarah, Sarah Cruiz it
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: is a pretty good pitcher. But that that Baker offense,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: there's just there's just no holes in it. And when
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: they get going, and you know, fast pitch can really
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: become a momentum game. You could put up some big innings,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: which Mount Baker has. I mean, they probably had more
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: double digit run innings than anybody. They just they can
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: they can get hot and put up runs. And then
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: they went and played Ferndale. I was at that game,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: and and it was a close game first half of
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: the game, and then they just kind of went on
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: a run and started scoring three or four runs an
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: inning and they ended up getting getting him like, you know,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: fifteen to five or something like that. And then they
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: played Oak Harbor on Saturday and lost, and I was
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: kind of surprised by that. Oak Carver's pretty good. I mean,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: they've been kind of an up and coming team the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: last couple of years, and so I think that it
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: just I guess what surprised me was that they only
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: I think they've lost eight to five and they only
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: scored five runs. But sometimes, uh, you know, if you
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: got a really good pitcher and a really good catcher,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: and sometimes that's all you need to get to win.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: You know, you score a few runs that way and
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: and uh you hold them off. And but Baker is
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: one of those teams that I think as the season
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: goes on, they're they're kind of the scary team that
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: nobody wants to play and and what to see I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: have heard We've been talking about this with the postseason
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: one A and all that stuff. They're gonna glue with
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: District four, I believe, and out of the Vancouver area. Yeah,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: something something crazy, and they're going to So it's like
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: they're gonna they're gonna bring three teams over. So it's
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: a possibility of three teams that could make it to state.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: But you know, it probably won't be three, but it's
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: better than one.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it would mean to be able to
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: have three a few other years.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: Huh right, right, So you know, I want to say
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: that's what I heard was four. That kind of seems
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: pretty far away. Maybe it maybe it's District three, but
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: I think I heard four, So I knew it wasn't
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: gonna be two, but I that but that intrigues me
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: because there's some pretty darn good teams right now, and
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: uh hey, just get the best teams to the state tournament,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: that's all I ask.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am looking here, Tyler, I didn't notice the
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five District one two a fast pitch softball
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: tournament is now on or now available to view or
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: whatever as far as like schedule. Yeah, and it says
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: it's being played at Bender Field, So I thought that
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: was normally down there in Cedgel Woollie.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: It is normally at c JO Woollie and Bender held
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: the one A last year, but that was kind of.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: A last second change.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, right, So I'm that's interesting. I mean, I
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: like it. I don't have to drive as far.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, it makes me wonder if you know, like
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: that means something in terms of the one a's are
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: going to be somewhere else, you know what I mean,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: because it comes a little bit harder that way, especially
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: if you're talking about they're going to be further out
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: of the area. Yeah, but yeah, that's what it says.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: Here says Benderfields starting well, the play in round will
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: be at the higher seed that's May. Yeah, and it's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: just one game, that's May tenth. The actual tournament really
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: starts on the fourteenth of May. So yeah, yeah, definitely interesting.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: But let's see your tyler. We still need to talk
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: about the top of the standings, and that is Linden.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: They are five and oh five and four on the year,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: Knuksack Valley three and two in conference play, five and
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: two overall, and then Ferndale three and two, five and five.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Nuksack Valley had a rough week that came into
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: the week undefeated three to oh and five. And oh
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: they they faced Lenny Christian lost that one ten to five,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: so that was suffering their first loss of the year.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: And then I think they played Oak Harbor and lost
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: that game. So they lost a couple in a row now,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: but they're not getting blown out at all. And that's
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: a team that's pretty complete as well. Uh that's a
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: team too that I kind of talked about last week,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: where you know, you get them coming off the bus
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: and you're like, whoa, Like they look like a college team,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: like they are they are you know, they they are athletic,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: Let's just put it that way. It's a it's pretty
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: imposing to see and Ferndale Ferndale, like I said, I
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 3: saw them against Baker they did. They did drop that one,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: but they did pick up a win, a conference win.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: It's escaping me now who they beat. But then they
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: lost to Everett, really really good effort team on Saturday
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: in a in a in a non conference game. Ferndale
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: is a team that is actually much better than I
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: thought they were gonna be. I mean, Klin Blakely is
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: all world and she's an amazing catcher and she hits
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: everything and she's fantas but they didn't have They had
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: a lot of other just really young players and it
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: was all about how well were they going to adapt?
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: And I tell you what, there are some players that
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: are really starting to emerge as big time players. Uh
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: Sianna Bob is showing is having great power at the plate,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: which is awesome because she bats behind Blakely, So to
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: provide that protection is amazing. You're not just gonna intentionally
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: walk Blakely all day, which is which is a really
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: promising thing for them. They also they're they're nine to
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: one to two hitters, go lefty, lefty, lefty, and so
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: you and then and then Kate Johnston also left handed,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: who won the Player of the.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Week last week.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: So you can fill that lineup with a lot of
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: left handed hitters, and you know, you got some slap
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: hinterers in there. Hannah Swan does that. Mattie Slevin is
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: a doubles and walks machine. She leads off and plays
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: first base. So you're getting some of these players that
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: are really starting to come into their own and and
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: give that support to Blakely. And it's just it's been awesome.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: Uh So Ferndale's been great. I tell you what Linden is.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: It's so weird because I was really like kind of concerned,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: I guess going into this year, going I wonder how
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: they're gonna because they they've graduated so many top players
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years, and I don't want to
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: say it's just been plug and play, but it's been
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: a heck of a co coaching job by Ryan Dykstra,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: because you know, earlier on they were just you know,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: they have played a really tough non conference schedule and
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: they were getting beat up here and there, and it
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: wasn't looking great. But once they started conference and once
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: they started playing games at home, it's like they just
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: settled down and just started doing their thing. And that's
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: another one of those teams it's like, yeah, it's Lynden,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: Like they're good, you know, it's just it's just, uh
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: so I'm not surprised to see them undefeated in conference play.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: But I guess if you would have asked me, you know,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: a month ago, I'd have been like, yeah, I hope
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: they'll it'll be above five hundred. So it's uh, you know,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: it's it's one of those things where and they're not
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: blowing other teams out like they are. They are getting
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: wins and they are doing a good job. And they
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: did take it to Meridian a little bit last week.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: But but for the most part, I mean, it's you know,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: it's staying with teams and stealing bases and getting the
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: runs when they need and you know, a timely home
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: run here or there. One of the McVeigh sisters hit
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: her first ever home run. I couldn't tell you which
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: one because there's like twelve of them. But but it's
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: it's it's really cool to see because this it's it
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: is the team that I didn't think they'd be on
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: top of Walking County right now, and they are and
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: and they're playing really well.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So this coming week, Tyler being on spring break,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: there's only one game Thursday, Mount Baker is headed over
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: to Cashmere.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that coach left go into the old stomping grounds
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: the early thing.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but when we come back, Linden's Linden's in it.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Tuesday at Nuksack Valley.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be good.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Thursday at Sedro Woolly, oh boy. That tough. So they've
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: gotta they've gotta, you know, they've got to be ready
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: to go when we come back from break. Yeah, they
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: definitely need to be ready to go, and yeah, I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: mean it's gonna it's gonna be a fun one. And
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: then the week after Tyler, it's the team that you
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: kind of talk about here, they get Mount Baker, So yeah, yeah,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: so things are. You know, it's interesting to look at
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: the county this year because there's only what a couple
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: of teams that are over five hundred at the moment,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: and a couple of those teams are really close to
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: not being over five hundred. So it's not like there's
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: anybody that is truly dominating, standing out and running away
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: from everybody, or like it is in so many other
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: sports with the especially on the girls side, where there's
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: three or four truly dominant teams and then and maybe
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: they have yet to play each other, Like this is
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: kind of wide open from the middle of the pack up.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is, and I'm learning that. You know, south
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: of the county there's some really good teams. I mean, yeah,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: Vernon's really good, Future Woolie is really good, Oak Harbor's
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: really good. You know, Burlington is Burlington and Lakewood are
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: you know, they're they're they're they're they're they're good. Blake
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: would beat Baker and so they there's just really good
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: teams in Sketch County in below so and that's kind
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: of how you see the records where they are a
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: little bit uh. But you know, you never know. Once
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: you get to postseason, things can change a little bit
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: and we'll have to see. But you're right, there hasn't
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: been like that standout team. And but it makes for
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: good parody. And it's fun going to a game and
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: going like this is gonna be a good game. I
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: don't know who's gonna win. And that's that doesn't happen
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: all the time in high school sports.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's interesting when you look at the
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: in Northwest Conference standings in general, Cedar Woolie, Mount Vernon
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: Linden all undefeated and and Cedar William Mount Vernon both
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: have a plus minus per game over fourteen. Yeah, I mean,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. But then you know, you go down a
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit further and here is one two, three,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: four five in sixth place. You've got Ferndale who's three
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: and two and they're averaging fourteen point four runs a
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: game in league play. But they're giving up seven point four,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: so you know, their number nine, you know, they're plus
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: minus is third, but they're in sixth. So I mean
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: there are, yeah, a couple of runs here or there,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: and before you know what, maybe they're undefeated, you know,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: And so it's it's truly interesting to look at. I
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: mean when you start looking at the the runs scored.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: I mean even Sea Home, they're three and five on
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: the year, but they're averaging eleven and a half runs
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: a game according to the website.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at here, you know. Yeah, yeah, they're stealing
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: up ten point nine. Yeah, sim puts up runs, that's
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: for sure. And Sarah Cruziz is a really good pitcher,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: but she can get a little wild. She kind of
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: you know, is a little and you know, one of
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: your all time favorites. She's kind of a little Nolan
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: Rylan ryany where she almost she will, yeah, she'll strike
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: out like thirteen and walk like eight. Yeah, and that's
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: you know, you and I we both love Nolan Ryan.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: But you know, he never won a cy Young Award,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: you know, and and it's and it's it's you know,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: he just he was dominant, but he walked a lot
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: of guys. And Sarah Cruz, she's doing better than she's
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: done her freshman and sophomore year. She's under a little
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: bit more control right now, and her offense has been
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: off the charts. But you know, that's that has that
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: has kind of been the bugaboo right now. But but
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: like I said, it's it's improved a lot. And they're
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: winning more than they've won the last couple of years,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: and so that's a huge, huge thing. And the defense
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: has come together, and like I said, like see them, yes, them,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: could you know they could pick up some wins in
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: the postseason. I mean, you just never know. And that's
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: what's that's what's so fun about this And and yeah,
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: it's it's a lot of it's just a lot of
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: fun going out to watch these these athletes play and
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 3: and and just catch the excitement live. It's great.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's it's always so funny because so at Bofel,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: our fast pitch field is just out beyond right field
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: of the baseball field. So when I'm sitting there doing
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: my announcing from behind home plate, I can hear everything
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: going on over there. Sure, I mean I don't know
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: who's scoring. I don't know who's screaming and yelling. I
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: don't know what's actually going on. There's always something going
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: on because it's always loud.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: And it's crazy.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So when Seahome gets back from the break, they've
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: got Bellingham at home on Tuesday and then they travel
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: to Oak Harbor on Thursday. Yeah, that's what they Yeah,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: that's what they have going on Oak Harbor. They are
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: six and four on the year, four and two in
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: conference play. But the thing that's interesting is they don't
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: really put up a lot of runs. They only score
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: on average seven per game and they only give up
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: five and they give up five points. So their run
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: differential in six games is actually one point three per game,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: which is yeah, crazy to be four and too. I
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: mean that tells me that they're winning some very very
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: close games right now. So who knows, maybe c Home
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: get gets something right against Bellingham on Tuesday and then
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: you know, go down and steal a win out of
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Oak Harbor or something.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: So that'd be awesome. I mean, yeah, Okrber I think
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: they beat Nooksack like seven to four, and they beat
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: Baker eight to five, So that doesn't surprise me. When
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: you're talking about the scores and the run differential, because yeah,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: you're right, they're right there. I don't think they have
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: the super explosive offense. They have a really good pitcher.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: I believe they have a really good catcher if it's
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: the same girl I'm thinking about from when I saw
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: them last year, And yeah, I mean, you're right. You
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: never know. See home could go down there and you know,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: if things are clicking well with Kruisich in the circle
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: and then you know, she hits another twelve triples or
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: whatever she's been doing, then you never know.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: You never know. Sim we're down. She doesn't have twelve.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: But that's a nice segue to the stat leaders. Tyler
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Mana Insurance Manna Insurancegroup. Dot com
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: is their website and again you can find them in
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Linden or give them a call three six zero nine
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: two to two zero one four nine. Let's jam through this, Tyler.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: Let's start with how about hits.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Gracie Zender of Mount Baker, she was leading a
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: lot of other categories and now she's taking the leading
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: HiT's with eighteen for doubles.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: We've got three young ladies here, including Gracie Zender.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Gracy Zender and her teammate Zeta Haynes, both from
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: Mount Baker, and Maddie Slevin, the lead off at her
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 3: of Ferndale, all have five doubles each.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Let's double up here and go triples and home runs Tyler,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: where we're gonna mention Gracie z under again.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Sarah Kruzich with twelve triples just like I said, No,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. She's got five triples and Gracie Zender
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: who's hit another one. She's now at four home runs
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: on the year.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: Kruzich might finish the season with twelve, but she's got
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: still got a little ways to go. How about batting
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: average and runs batted in?
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Shaylee Daniels who led last week, she still leads,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: only played one game this week, but still at six
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: forty three the Blaine catcher and runs batted in. Sarah
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: Cruzich who had in six RBIs this week, now up
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: to twenty six on the year. She's got a huge
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: lead over everybody else.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: Give me runs, stolen bases and walks.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Annalie Cohne has taken over and runs scored of
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: Mount Baker. She's the leadoff shortstop for the Mountaineers with
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: eighteen runs scored stolen bases. Gabby Gearhart still with ten
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: for Squalum, still leading and walks we had. You know,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: we talk about leadoff hitters getting walks. How about Mattie
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: Slevin of Ferndale and Taya Vandercoy of Lennon Christian, both
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: leadoff hitters at thirteen walks apiece.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both have thirteen walks in ten games. Tyler, I
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: mean that's over a walk a game. Like, I don't
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: care who you are, if you're if you're getting on
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: base guaranteed like basically one time per game or more,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing. I mean, that's a that's a
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: really good thing. Let's talk the percentage of here. How
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: about slugging on base and ops.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, slugging right now, Gracie Zender still leading that at
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: one at twelve oh seven, basically two hundred and seven,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: which is ridiculous. On base percentage, Shaylee Daniels gets on
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: base seventy eight point three percent of the time. That
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: is discouraging for other teams.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: Let's just say and ops on base plus slugging kind
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 4: of how you look at a full offensive player gracye
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: Zender right now at nineteen thirty two of Mount Baker,
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 4: she is putting up the best overall offensive numbers.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: Now we get into the pitching categories here, we'll go
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: with wins and innings pitched.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for wins, it's Carl Welters of Mount Baker, the sophomore.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: She's got five wins now on the year, leading everybody.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: And then an innings pitched, it's a tie actually with
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: Kallie Rammerman of Lyndon and Sarah Kruzich of Seahome each
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: have pitched forty four innings and that's that's pretty impressive.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 3: I know that I want to say, no, Kriuszige has not.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say I think Krusige just pitched every
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: inning for their games this year. But I think Lexie
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: Monroe came in and pitched a little bit in a
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: non league game against Bellingham. And then Callie Rammerman has
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: she was She had pitched every inning until this past
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: week when one of the mcviee sisters pitched quite a bit.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 3: Actually in one game, I think she threw like four
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: innings one game. So, but they both have forty four
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: innings pitched.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: Each Let's finish off the stats with strikeouts and er.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no surprise, Sarah Cruz that's still leading a strakouts
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: has eighty two now on the year. And that number,
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: you know, it used to be she would have a
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: lot of walks and strakeouts, but the walks kind of
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: out numbered them. Now they're flipped around. She gets a
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: lot of strikeouts, eighty two now on the year. And
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 3: the e er is the freshman from the Knuksack Valley Pioneers,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: Elena ben Apron three point three to two era. She
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: has yet to start a game, but she always comes
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: in and pitches a few innings here and there, and
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: she does a really good job when when she gets
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: the when she gets the call and comes in and
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: gets gets the job done. She had to come in
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: early in the game. She had to come in the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 3: first inning against Lennon Christian because Peyton Bartle took a
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: comebacker and had to get taken out of the game
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: in the first thing. And that's a that's a really
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: tough thing to happen against a good hitting team. Early
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: in the game you're undefeated and then all of a
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: sudden that happens and the whole team morale is kind
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: of scared. And yet you know, she had to come
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: in and she did a good job. She you know,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: pitched against the rest of that to pitch the rest
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: of that game against a strong Link team and they
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: only lost ten to five. And I think she's going
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 3: to be a great player in the future. She's just
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: a freshman.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: That is it for stats. Let's talk player of the week,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: which is barat to you Baya Watcom Wolverines again their
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: website watcom Wolverines dot com. Tyler, who is the Wacom
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: Wolverines Player of the Week.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of scoured over everything and looked, and
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: the most consistent player that I saw was Brooke van
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: Low of Lyndon Christian, the third baseman. She hit a
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: home run against Nuksac Valley and that was I was
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 3: right there when it happened. And I don't know how
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: much fast pitch you've seen, but you know when they
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: throw like a change up, it looks like it's like, holy.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: Cow, It almost like a slow pitch, like yeah, it's
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: like yeah, like.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 3: Bugs bunny, like swinging three times before the ball he
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: even gets there. And what was crazy about it was
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if she tipped off her pitch or
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: what she did, but I could hear Tom Zilstra, who's
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: the you know, the head coach for Lyndny Christian he's
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: coaching third, and I don't know when he said it,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: but he said like he said like wait on it,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: sit on it, or something like that, and he said
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: it either right before the pitch or right when the
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: pitch was happening, and and it just came across the
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: pate and Van Low just crushed it over the left
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: center field fence. And I was like, holy cow, like
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: what did he see? How did he see it? How
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: did she hit that? Because I've never I've seen that
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: pitch usually swung and missed at or called for a
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: strike three or or it just didn't go well. And
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: it was a ball I've never seen it hit hard ever,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: and you don't see a lot of them, but I've
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: never seen it hit hard. She hit over the fence.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: It was amazing. And she had a you know, she
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: was I think she was four for four with six
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: RB eyes in the game against Bellingham. So she just
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: had a really really great overall week. So congratulations to
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: Brook band Low of Lennon Christian. You're Walko Wolverines player.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: Of the week. Can I can see like an unsolved
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: mysteries of Watcom County?

• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: was sponsoring something with Linden where like if you buy
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: a sack of spuds, you get like they get a
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of money or something.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do. They do something like that every year.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: They kind of co op with them and and do
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: and do something. I don't know exactly what it is,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: but then I always get reminded on social media. I
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, there it is again. There we go.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. Yeah.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: I think I saw BVD talking about it on Facebook
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: or somebody was talking about don't remember who it was,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: but I was like, you know, if I needed a
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: sack of spuds, that'd be the place.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: And then standings, as I mentioned that that graphic is fire.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: Tyler is so good looking. Acceleration Driving School in Linden,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: just like on the fast pitch side, you can find
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: them three six zero seven four six four five six seven.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: And let's talk about those standings. Tyler at the bottom
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: of the standings. Right now, we've got Blaine, Mount Baker,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: and Squalicum, all three teams still looking for their first
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: conference win. They are all three zero to four Blaine,
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: they are three and four in the season, one in
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: six for Mount Baker and oh eight for Squalicum.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah Blaine. You know Blaine started out three to oh
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: in a non conference play and then started playing conference
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: games and has yet to pick up a win. And
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: it's gonna happen as soon at some point, because there's
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: just there's too much talent on that team, and it's
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: it's just it's been it's been rough, and they've played
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: some really tough opponents. They faced Linden this past week,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: and and uh, yeah, they'll get they'll they'll get things together.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: You know, it'll happen. Mount Baker they've been really they've
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: been really really struggling. Uh. They got beat by Bellingham
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: pretty pretty pretty handily. I think it was like fourteen
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: to one. They got beat by Burlington. I think it
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: was nine is one or nine zero something like that.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: At least they went all seven innings with Burlington.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just need to get some more consistent
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: hitting and you got to get you know a little
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: bit better better pitching and defense, and and it's just
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: kind of those little things have to all kind of
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: click together.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 3: Squalicum. Squalicum has been impressing me because I watched them
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: this past week hosting Sea home for a little bit
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: and and I was I was actually pretty impressed with
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: just kinda their exuberance and and I think they're a
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: pretty young team, so and it kind of reminds me
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: of like the squall and fast pitch team, Like I
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: see these these promising moments and both teams went they
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 3: went winless last year too, and they're win this so
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: far this year. And it's just that it's gonna turn
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: at some point. I mean, they almost pulled that game
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: out against Lenny Christian, you know, the boys did, and
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: the girls have been getting better, so I do see
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 3: some improvement on the way. It's just it just hasn't
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: really happened yet.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: Meridian, Bellingham, Seahome, Knuksack Valley they're up next. The Trojans
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: and the BayHawks are both two and two. The Mariners
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: and the Pioneers they are one in three, Meridian three
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: and four overall, Bellingham four and six, Sea Home four
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: and five, and Nuxack Valley they are two and six.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Meridian is one of those teams where, yeah they're
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 3: three and four overall, and but they're one of those
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: teams that you know they'll they'll get into districts and
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: they'll be playing in that tournament over at Seal High
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: School and Joe Martin's Field and they'll go back and
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: forth and it's like they're gonna be that, They're gonna
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 3: be like one of those top teams.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: In the playoffs.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: And you're just like, oh, man, like they just do
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: everything all they do all the little things. They do
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: everything right, and they and they they swing and hit
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: the ball like they don't swing and miss very much.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: And right now the record is a little bit deceiving
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: because I think they're much much better than that. Yeah,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: it does stink that Joana Ossi is out for the year,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: and that's just kind of the way that that that is.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: Bellingham had a great week. They went three and oh
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: this week and they won in big time fashion. Those
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: first two games against Knooksec and Mount Baker both got
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: ten runs, and then they hosted Marysville Getchell on Saturday. Uh,
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: they were ahead the whole game. Everything look good. Then
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: Gotchell puts up seven runs in one inning and all
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, they're down seven to four going into
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the seventh and uh, you know, it
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: was one of those games where like, oh, oh, what
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: what just happened? I mean, it could happen in a
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: blink of an eye. It happened to them they load
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: the bases, A player walks, I think it was Jasper
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: Love got a walk. They scored, next player grounds into
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: a a he grounds out to a third base, but
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: they threw it home for the force out, which is
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: smart play. One out. They turned the lineup over to
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: the to the leadoff hitter Eric Hellfield, who had a
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 3: great game on the mound earlier in that game, left
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: handed hitter, hockey player, you'd like him. And he hits
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: a shot in the right center field, clears the bases.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: They win the game eight to seven. Unbelievable. Love. I
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: love how that ended. And that's a kid that Eric
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: Helfield is. He's a He is one of my favorite players.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: And there's certain guys that I think kind of get
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: overlooked a little bit here because Bellingham has got some
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: major athletes with Joe Harward and Ky Nelson and Alden
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: Scott and Eli good Buffalo and all these guys, and
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: I think he gets forgotten a little bit. And he
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: played quite a bit as a sophomore last year pay
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: second base, usually batting ninth. Now he's you know, he
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: was hitting third at one point this year. Now they
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: moved up to the lead uff spot. They've been kind
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: of tinkering with the lineup a little bit because the
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: hitting just wasn't happening. And Bellingham now has four wins.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: In a row.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: They're four and uh six overall, they're really trending in
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 3: the right spot. And and yeah, I h I was
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: really really impressed with their offense this this past week.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: Sea Home see them, Uh they'll be, They'll be just fine.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: They lost some really tough games. They played a w
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: F West on Friday, I think it might have been
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: and in a non conference game, lost two to one.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: And I believe w F West is undefeated, so that
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 3: that told me a lot too. And and you know,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: see home is seem will be they'll they'll they'll be
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: just just fine. They did get a win this week,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: but ultimately went one and two on the week. And
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: the Pioneers had a rough week after having a really
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: good week the week before. Just struggled offensively this this
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: this past week. So uh yeah, kind of middle of
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 3: the road there. You see a lot of teams that
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: moved up and down. Bellingham was you know, was way down.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: But now they've won four in a row, getting some
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 3: conference wins here, so good for them.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, WF West, Tyler, not only are they undefeated, but
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: they have been kicking the crap out of a lot
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: of people. My goodness, just give you some idea of
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: their scores here fourteen to one, sixteen nine zero ten, zero,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: thirteen to two, thirteen to nine against Anachordus. But yeah,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have been absolutely throttling some people. And
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: then as you mentioned it, Sea Home almost got them
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: the WF West wins two to one. But yeah, yeah,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: you know, Tyler. You also mentioned the the district tournament
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and the bracket for the District one
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: tournament is available. At this point, four teams from Wakam
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: County will move on to the districts. The number four
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: will take on District two. Number five. District two is
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: that Emerald Sound conference with over Lakes, Cedar Park, Christian
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: Kings South Widby, And right now they have two teams
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: that have yet to win a game that's university prep
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: and granted falls, so very easily one of those two
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: teams could be playing a Blaine or Knooksack Valley or
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe Baker finds a way to grab a
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: couple of wins here or there and sneak themselves in
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens with that one. Let's talk
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: about Linden Christian, Linden and Ferndale. Linden Christian four and
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: oh eight and one, Linden four and oh five and three,
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: and then Ferndale the Golden Eagles three and one, five
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: and three on the season.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you can you look at these three
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: and they are definitely not just record wise, but they
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: have been the most impressive teams overall this year. Ferndale,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: they could score a lot of runs, man, I mean,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: they are legit. And then they got those two arms
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: with Bowlly Ak and Bassk. They got a lot of
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: young players that are just really really impressive. I say
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 3: it every week, but that Joe Benzi, that catcher is
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 3: so good just defensively, but then you turn around and
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: he's hitting cleanup. I think he's got like thirty something
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 3: played appearances. He hasn't even struck out yet as a freshman.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's just he's one of those just pure
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 3: baseball players that does everything right. One of the top
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: RBI guys in the in the county. Yeah, Carson Brown
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: over at first base and Fenton Bassic batting third and
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 3: the top of the lineup with O'Brien and Ebison and Pozaski,
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: and I mean they just got It's one of that's again,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: it's one of those lineups where there's just there's there's
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: they can bat around, there's not a hole in there.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: I saw a chance Hatchet got in at bat the
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: other day, So that's good to see him kind of
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: getting back into the flow. So that's just gonna add
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: another bat into the lineup. Uh So Ferndale is Ferndale
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 3: is a year ahead of schedule. As I would put it,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: I thought that maybe next year would kind of be
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: their year to kind of rejoin to where they're kind
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: of used to be a few years ago and doing
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 3: it this year. And that's been really really impressive to
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: see Linden and then it just they're Linden Man, and
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: you know they they took it to Nooksack Valley got him,
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: got him pretty good.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: Matthew Carroll had an amazing game. I want to I
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: think it was against Blaine where he threw I think
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: he allowed one hit, struck out twelve. That's he's one
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: of those kids that you start looking at like who's
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 3: the the best, Like overall player in Walking County and
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 3: he's a name that's gonna pop up for sure. Just
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 3: a junior playing second base instead of third base this year,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: which kind of kind of surprised me. But but uh,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: you know, the when you have when you have other
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: guys they could play spots, and you just you move
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: guys around and you get the best nine out there.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: And so he's been doing really really well. And then
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: Lenny Lennon Christian has just been they just they just win.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 3: Man had a really really good week this week, went
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: three and oh uh two and zero league play, and
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: then they played Friday Harbor at home on Saturday, which
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: I kind of thought was, you know, just just get
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: that one, like eight to two or whatever. And and
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 3: they were down and I was kind of paying attention
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: to that one on the game stream and on game Changer,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: and I was at the Bellingham game and it was
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: it was a little bit surprising, but they come back,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 3: you know, they come back Tracon Johnson with a single
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: to win the game. That's just a really that's just
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: a loaded team that has been kind of knocking on
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: the door of the last couple of years going into
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: you know, regionals and stuff like that and making some
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: noise and kind of like, oh, who is this five
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: hundred team that's making some noise and pulling off some upsets?
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: This is is a little different this year. They are
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: they are gonna go like that extra step. I think
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 3: that they have a really good chance to make it
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: to the final four. Which, hey, if you do that
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 3: and you're at home at Joe Martin Field, that's that's
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: pretty awesome. And they they are very, very complete. They've
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: won eight in a row. Now, they are on top
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: of when you look at these Walking County kind of
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: power ranking type things, I would put the links at
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: number one right now.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: That's saying something, yep, I mean, that's really saying something.
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 1: That is standings again. Brought to you by Acceleration Driving

  Speaker 1: the scoreboards, which what a beautiful graphic that one is.

• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: pop up on Instagram, I just look at it and
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: laugh because I think about the process that I had
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: in making that, and I was like, you know what,
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: I wonder if I can make something that kind of
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: like reminds me of like an old cubs or an
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: old what's the one like Kamiski, you know, one of
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: those old fields. And then boom, there it was. And
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: I remember telling you like, wait till you see this. Wait,
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: tell you to see this, Tyler. Yeah, and you saw it.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: We were like, oh my lord again. You can find
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: j e KK cards online at j e KK cards
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: dot com. Uh, let's go right through this here, Tyler.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: Let's start with hits and doubles because it's the same guy.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin Engles. I mean he he went off this
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: week and he is just a hit machine. He's up
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: to seventeen hits on the year. Now he's closing in
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: on a I just I'm just gonna put it this way.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: He's closing in on a on a big number here
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: pretty soon. And I don't want to give it away
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 3: because I don't want any other publications to know about
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: it because I've done my homework. And then in doubles,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: he's leading with six doubles too, So that's a that's
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: a pretty good that's a pretty good number. And I
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: did read something that you know. I I think the
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 3: Tribune did an article on him, kind of a feature
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 3: on him, and and he was talking about like, hey,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: you know, as far as numbers go, yeah, I want
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 3: to I want to hit well and everything he goes.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: But I really want if I'm leading, you know, the
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 3: league in doubles, that means that you know things are
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 3: going well. And he's got six of them so far,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: so good on him.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: That's pretty wild. You don't typically hear somebody' a like
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: if I could leave the league in doubles, you know
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: what I mean?
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is. It's interesting. But it means that
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: you know, he's hitting, he's hitting the ball in the gap,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: he's hitting it all over the place, and and that's good.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's and that's kind of the kind of
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: hitter he is. He hits a lot of doubles.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: It's just doubles like you know, you know, yeah, like
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: Edgar Yeah, and Albert Bell. Albert Bell, My goodness, all right,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: we got triple now.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: Hold.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: I was gonna hear Tyler. I thought I saw somebody
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: hit a home run this week, and you still have none.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: Nobody's hit a home run still in Waukam County for baseball,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: not that I thought I saw video somebody hitting one,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: but also triples is is another young man from Lynnon Christian.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we had a tie with like ten different
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 3: players with one and Eli Mayorberry goes out and hits
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: two this week, so now he's got three.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: He's got three triples on the year now, so by
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: the times somebody took control. Yeah, so so good.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: For him, Eli Mayberry and that kid, that's that's another
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: one of those kids. I don't think he's struck out
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: yet this year. And I used to always talk about,
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: like even when he was a freshman and how he's
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: like the each row where he just keeps fouling it
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: off all the time and left handed bat and it's like, no,
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 3: I don't want this one, poop. No, I don't want
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 3: this one on you boop.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want this one too close kind of kind
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: of just yeah, a little tap, let's just scoop.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: It out here. I don't want that one either. And
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 3: it's and that back control is amazing, and uh he's
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 3: kind of that unsung guy in that lineup Batten you know,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 3: Batten second usually and and uh yeah, I really like
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 3: watching him play. He's got good speed. Obviously we saw
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 3: him at quarterback, but you know, all sorts of breaking
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: school record numbers and and a good three point shooter
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 3: on the basketball team and now doing it in baseball.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 3: Is a great three sport athlete that we get to
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 3: see for another year.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: How about batting average and runs bat it in.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin Engels took over for batting average, which I
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: was kind of waiting for this to happen at some point.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: He's been hovering right around five hundred. Now over six
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 3: hundred at six oh seven and Eli good Buffalo Bellingham
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 3: had a monster week knocking in runs. He's got thirteen
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 3: now on the year. And man, that kid is impressive
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: just to see physically over at first base. He's about
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 3: six three, two fifty. He looks like like like a
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: collegiate athlete and he's just a junior as well. So
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: my goodness. You know that's a kid that former quarterback,
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 3: you know, gets moved a tight end defensive ends just
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: so big and strong and and you know it played
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 3: a little third base last year, you know here and
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: there depending on who was pitching, and and and this
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: year you know he's taking over first base and enjoying it.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: You know, he's batting right in the middle of that
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: lineup and and doing the job when it's called upon.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go runs, stolen bases and walks.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, runs right now, Jackson Juliott with thirteen runs. I
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 3: think he scored four this week. Leadoff hitter. I think
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: he only's had three base hits on the year. Figure
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: that one out. And this is not one of those
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: kids that comes in and as a courtesy runner all
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: the time. Well then how the heck is he not
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 3: leading in walks. He's getting on base a lot with
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: all sorts of different ways. And he was he was
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: lead and walks last week. But uh, but yeah he is.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: He gets on base a lot of different ways, and
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 3: he's a terror on the bass pass. And he scored
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 3: thirteen runs and and uh, you know, a big time
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 3: player at the top of the lineup for the links
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 3: and stolen bases. Joe Harward who led last year in
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: stolen bases. I think he had twenty three or something
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 3: like that last year I think him and he had
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: he had a lot and uh and as a catcher,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 3: that's pretty impressive. I went to that game on Saturday,
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 3: and he wasn't catching. He was playing second base, which
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 3: was a little unusual. I think they just kind of
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 3: moved some things around. It might have been because Eric
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 3: Hellfield was pitching and he usually plays second base, and
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: they just kind of, you know, try some things in
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 3: a non non conference game. But he looked pretty comfortable
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 3: over there. But on the bass pass, he's one of
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 3: those things, hey, opposing coaches, if Harvard gets on, he's
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 3: going just a heads up because and it's it's impressive
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 3: looking because he's about six four, two hundred and five
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: pounds h you know, he's built really well, but he's
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: so fast, but he's extremely aggressive and he's always looking
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 3: to get that extra base. And he's one of those
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: guys that can really get in your head as a
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 3: pitcher because he's just you got to think about him
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: all the time and he's on the go.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: Tyler Walks, we've got four guys tied with eight.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin Engles and Sam Cock of Lindon, Christian Braden
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 3: Ebison of Ferndale and Tyler Hanson of Lindon all have
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 3: eight walks each. This is a number that hasn't There
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: hasn't been that player that has really jumped out. This
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 3: is a this is a stat that if Joanah Austi
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 3: was healthy, he'd probably be leading in I think the
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 3: odds on favorite might be Braylan O'Brien of Ferndale. He's
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: probably gonna capture this at some point and look for
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: Jackson who yet as well.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: Now, Austin Engle's just decided to take over the whole
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: podcast here, Tyler, because we've got his name on here
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: three times in a row with slugging percentage, on base
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: percentage and on base plus slugging.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you're making contact the way he is,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: and he's driving it to all fields and he's picking
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: up extra bases, and that that's gonna help in all
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 3: these things. He's slugging eight twenty one. He gets on base,
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 3: he's seventy point three percent of the time, which in baseball,
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy, which gives him
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 3: an OPS of fifteen twenty four. So just one of
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: those major major players still as far as I know,
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 3: hasn't you know, committed anywhere yet. We'll have to see
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 3: where he goes. But wherever he's gonna go, he's going
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 3: to hit. He's a hitting machine. I would imagine he'll
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 3: play with the Bellingham Bells in the summer and he's
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: just one of those guys that the plate coverage is
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 3: always there. He's what's what's really interesting too, He's very,
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 3: very good at hitting the inside pitch, so he doesn't
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 3: see a lot of those, but he crowds the plate
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 3: quite a bit, so the plate coverage is there, and
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 3: you think when he's crowding the plate, you can get
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: him on the inside corner, but he's that's those are
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 3: the ones that he just is so quick with his
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 3: hands at so try and get him outside, Well, he's
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: kind of crowding and so he can barrel it up
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 3: when it's outside the plate. So he kind of got
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 3: it all. There's not really any holes in his swing
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 3: and it's tough to get him out and he's showing
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 3: it right here.
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tyler, I'm looking at some things here trying to
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: see if if he has committed anywhere, and it doesn't
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: show anywhere.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's gonna go to a two year
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 3: school in Washington somewhere, whether it's gonna be Scadget or
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 3: Yakama or you know whatever, and Edmonds or who knows
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 3: and and and he's gonna go there and he's gonna
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 3: he's gonna mash. That's what's gonna happen. And then we'll
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 3: see you after that. But you know, he's had so
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 3: he's had a foot surgery and different things, but it
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 3: just has it does not taken away from his game
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 3: at all. And he's running a lot more, he's stealing
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 3: a lot more bases, and so yeah, it's uh, it'll
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 3: be interesting.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: To see where he goes. Let's see here, we've got
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 1: the pitching stats, Tyler. We need wins and the innings pitched.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wins Hudson Nef of Seaholm and Jackson Juliot of Lyndon.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 3: Christian Juliot picking up that final that last that third
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 3: win of the year, I should say, in relief in
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: that game against Friday Harbor. He was the last one
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: on the mound when it happened when they came back
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 3: and got the walk off wins. So he gets the
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: win there. And then Hudson Enf having picked picked three wins,
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 3: he got that third win against the squalk him in
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: a game where he struck out I think it was
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 3: eleven batters in that one. Looked really really impressive and
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: innings pitch. Fenton Bassk of Ferndale nineteen and two thirds
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 3: innings pitched. That's a kid that really jumped on the
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 3: scene last year as a center fielder. Could really hit
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 3: the ball. I think he hit like three sixty eight
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: maybe last year something like that. He's right around there
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 3: again this year, right in that three spot in the lineup.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: But his pitching has been really impressive this year. And
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 3: I don't want to I don't want to say he's
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 3: come out of nowhere, but he has really elevated his
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 3: game to be one of the best pitchers in Walkom County.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: Strikeouts in ERA, we've got two names in strikeouts, and
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 1: then one of those guys also jumps over for the ERA.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Fenton Bassik, who were just talking about him,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 3: and Matthew Carroll from Lynnon each have twenty seven strikeouts.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 3: And Carrol's another one of those guys that I said
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 3: in the beginning of the year in the preview, I
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 3: said he's probably going to be like that relief specialist. Well,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: he's totally proved me wrong because he go out there
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: and pitched a complete game, win struck out, you know.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: Twelve thirteen batters whatever it was against Blaine in a
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: in a in a one hitter and and or two
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: hitter or whatever it was, and it's just like it's like, man, okay,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 3: he could he can throw a complete game, and he's
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 3: striking guys out and his e RA is really low
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: as he leads the ras zero point four to one,
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 3: So you're talking about a complete player. He's batting lead off,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 3: he gets on bass, he steals a lot of basses. Uh,
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: he can hit it all over and his pitcher he's
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: been he's been fantastic. So, uh, that's a player that
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: you look at and he's he's only a junior as well.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of these players. When I start
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 3: thinking about the top fifty now right, it's coming around, Uh,
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 3: you got to start thinking, who are guys that you
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 3: know are top ten type of guys. And I think
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 3: I had him at number eight last year, So he
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: could make a big jump up to be in the
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 3: top three. I'd be really impressive.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: That is it for stat leaders? Tyler? Or did and
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: did I guess? Did you mention the ra? Yes? You
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: you mentioned what his era was.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, zero point five one, I believe I did.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought you did, but I also just yea,
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: that number just seems ridiculous. But so yeah, that's it
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: for the stat leaders. Let's talk Player of the Week,

• 1:53:38
  Speaker 3: had an awesome week. Eric Hellfield had that great week,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 3: especially capping it off with that walkoff triple. Trason Johnson
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 3: with the walkoff hit, and he was really consistent throughout
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 3: the week. A lot of teams just kind of had
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 3: his steamroll type weeks. But when you look at everything overall,
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 3: Austin Angles of Lyndon Christian, I mean, he's he's always
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: had great weeks, but this one just kind of pushed
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 3: it above and beyond what he usually does and showing
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 3: why he's the most feared hitter in Walkham County had
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: a great, great week. So Austin, Engles Lenny Christian, he's

• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: Acceleration Driving School in Linden, and six Funeral and Cremation Services.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: Those are your sponsors for baseball here on watcom preps. Tyler,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: I guess that's it. I guess we are done. I
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: guess one thing really quickly. Baseball, that is the one
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: sport that does have a lot going on this week.
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: It's mostly on Monday and Tuesday. There are quite a
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: few games there, but then there are some things going
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but most of it's
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: out of the county. Except for Saturday. You've got a
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: double header at Nukack Value between Granted Falls Nuksack Valley
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: and then Granted Falls and Baker So and Blaine is
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: home for a game against Sultan, actually two games. A
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: consultant looks like Tyler, they're playing a double header there.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they were supposed to play doubleheader. I
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 3: think they're supposed to play a double header down at
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 3: Sultan a few weeks ago. And that's why they've only
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 3: played five games so far, and so yeah, there'll be
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 3: there'll be a little bit going on those baseball games
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 3: on Monday and Tuesday. It's gonna be interesting because I
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: think Monday and Tuesday the rain is gonna be picking up,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 3: so I don't so we'll have to see if games
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 3: get rescheduled. So far, it's been pretty good. It seems
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 3: it's weird because it seems like it seems like it's
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 3: just been raining for like a month straight. But at
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 3: the same time, it seems like they haven't really had
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: too many rainouts, so the little pockets happened where you
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: can get going and playing, and I've been to a
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 3: few games where it was raining during the game, but
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: not too bad. A lot of these fields are turf fields,
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 3: so that helps a little bit. So watch see, watch
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 3: see kind of what happens with the schedule. But you
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: can bet all be out there and we'll just kind
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 3: of find out what games get played what don't. And
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: it's always interesting during spring break because you can go
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 3: to some games and you could be like, wow, that
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 3: lineup looks will look a little weird. You must have
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: three players that are actually taking spring break, So yeah,
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 3: you just kind of never know, but yeah, we'll have
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 3: to see and uh but yeah if hopefully the weather
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 3: will be good and I'll be out there.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're on spring break this week too, and they
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: are not helping us out one bit as far as
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: any of that goes, because we've got games Monday, Wednesday,
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: and Friday this week so nice, including a big non
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: league game on Wednesday against Lake Stevens, which would be
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: a fun one. They've got a couple of pitchers that
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: are having quite the season so far.
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, that's right, all right, Tyler.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: We are getting close to two hours, so don't want
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 1: to make this any more brutal than it has to be.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: And I did notice, Tyler, there were no earned runs
• 1:56:44
