- 0:22Speaker 1: am Tyler Anderson of Walkham Preps and I'm ready to
- 0:24Speaker 1: talk some football, but first got to give a thank
- 0:29Speaker 1: you to Caden Veldman Lynden Christian, junior tight end outside linebacker.
- 0:34Speaker 1: This kid is the real deal. He gave us the
- 0:36Speaker 1: intro today. Thank you very much, Cayden, And I want
- 0:41Speaker 1: to say thank you a million times because that's a
- 0:43Speaker 1: kid I want to stay on his good side. He
- 0:45Speaker 1: is nasty on the football field. He gets after it
- 0:48Speaker 1: and he gets the job done. So fun to watch. Yeah,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and right now Lennon Christian is rolling four and oh
- 0:55Speaker 1: and we'll talk about them a little later on. And
- 0:57Speaker 1: he's a big, big reason why also want to give
- 0:59Speaker 1: a thanks thank you to Kirt Maybury Farm. Kurt Mayberry
- 1:02Speaker 1: Farm is a family farm committed to developing innovative agronomic
- 1:06Speaker 1: and business practices to grow, process, and market high quality berries.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Kurt Mayberry Farm is the Northwest berry supplier of choice.

- 1:18Speaker 1: Kirt with a C M A B E r r
- 1:21Speaker 1: y farm dot com. Also, do you live in Wacam's
- 1:25Speaker 1: Gadget Island or San Juan County and want to become
- 1:28Speaker 1: an official? Officiating is a great way to give back
- 1:31Speaker 1: to your community and ensure our youth have an opportunity
- 1:34Speaker 1: to compete in athletics. Go right now to nwofficials dot
- 1:39Speaker 1: com and find out right there how you can sign
- 1:42Speaker 1: up and just kind of get on that. I mean,
- 1:45Speaker 1: if I wasn't doing Walko preps, that's a very strong
- 1:47Speaker 1: possibility for me. Probably baseball, that's what I know the most.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Football would be fun, but I feel like I'd have
- 1:55Speaker 1: to still learn more of the rules. Believe it or not,
- 1:59Speaker 1: I feel like I know quite a bit. But I
- 2:01Speaker 1: think if you're an official, you really got to know
- 2:04Speaker 1: your stuff and so, but that's what they have. They
- 2:06Speaker 1: got classes, They teach you all that stuff before you
- 2:08Speaker 1: get to the varsity level and officiate those games. So
- 2:12Speaker 1: let's go over some of the games here. There's nine
- 2:16Speaker 1: games to talk about. Uh, the Maradian game got canceled,
- 2:19Speaker 1: so there's no maradiing game to talk about. And also
- 2:22Speaker 1: the lumin Nation game. I haven't seen the film yet,
- 2:24Speaker 1: so they don't have it up on huddle right now.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I think they're still waiting on the Laylup's game film
- 2:31Speaker 1: to check that out. So but right now we still
- 2:34Speaker 1: have nine other games to talk about, well spot, We'll
- 2:37Speaker 1: start with the earliest one, the Thursday night game. I
- 2:39Speaker 1: was out there for the first quarter or so of
- 2:42Speaker 1: it and I had to run out to volleyball. Ferndale
- 2:45Speaker 1: hosting Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon wins this game forty two
- 2:48Speaker 1: to thirty three. The first quarter was full of just fireworks.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I mean five touchdowns scored in the first quarter, three
- 2:55Speaker 1: by Mount Vernon, two by Ferndale. Mount Vernon returned the
- 2:58Speaker 1: opening kickoff ninety seven yards for a touchdown, follow that,
- 3:02Speaker 1: follow that up with a fifty two yard touchdown pass,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and that was, you know, right away fourteen nothing I
- 3:08Speaker 1: want to say in the first three minutes of the game,
- 3:11Speaker 1: after forcing Ferndale three and out and but then Ferndale
- 3:15Speaker 1: put together a strong drive. Jonathan Standick at a one
- 3:19Speaker 1: yard touchdown run by Mount Vernon. The Bulldogs right away
- 3:22Speaker 1: seventy nine yard touchdown pass. And then at the end
- 3:25Speaker 1: of the first quarter, Nolan Boliac rolled out to his
- 3:27Speaker 1: right and found Jonathan Stannik on a four yard touchdown pass,
- 3:31Speaker 1: which is funny because I don't know if he was
- 3:32Speaker 1: thrown to Standick or Chance Hatchet on that play. Whoever
- 3:36Speaker 1: you know it got to first was going to catch
- 3:38Speaker 1: it for a touchdown. Stanik reached out, grabbed it, hauled
- 3:41Speaker 1: it in, so he gets the credit for the touchdown there.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Mount Vernon scores two more touchdowns in the second quarter
- 3:46Speaker 1: and they were up thirty five fourteen at the half.
- 3:50Speaker 1: The Golden Eagles were able to put together a pretty
- 3:52Speaker 1: strong second half. I mean they scored three touchdowns only
- 3:55Speaker 1: allowed one from Mount Vernon. Stanick scored his third touchdown
- 4:00Speaker 1: of the game on their on a twenty yard run
- 4:03Speaker 1: on their little bunch formation where they run up to
- 4:05Speaker 1: the line on a fourth and one and just take
- 4:08Speaker 1: it from there. And then Nolan Bolliak hit Cooper Vincent
- 4:11Speaker 1: on a thirty six yard touchdown pass, Elliot Lentzon with
- 4:14Speaker 1: a thirty nine yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter.
- 4:17Speaker 1: They're not able to get the on side kick. Burndale
- 4:20Speaker 1: drops to two and two. If you look at the stats,
- 4:22Speaker 1: Berndale ran the ball for two hundred and fifty five yards.
- 4:25Speaker 1: They also completed ten of thirteen passes for one hundred
- 4:28Speaker 1: and twenty six yards. Ten completions one hundred and twenty
- 4:30Speaker 1: six yards. Those are career highs for Nolan Boliak, he
- 4:33Speaker 1: had a great, great game. Elliot Lentzon fifteen carries for
- 4:36Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty four yards, Jonathan Stanik eleven carries
- 4:40Speaker 1: for seventy one yards. Bowliak had twenty five yards rushing.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I was really impressed with his scrambling. He had one
- 4:46Speaker 1: where he just took off from the first quarter almost
- 4:48Speaker 1: scored that touchdown there, sacrificed his body to get that
- 4:52Speaker 1: extra yard, So that was really impressive to see. And
- 4:56Speaker 1: then on the receiving side, Chance Hatchett three catches for
- 4:58Speaker 1: forty five yards. Elliott Lenson also caught three passes, Cooper
- 5:03Speaker 1: Vincent got two, and then Stannik and Vasik each caught
- 5:07Speaker 1: a pass as well. It's it was a tough one
- 5:10Speaker 1: for Mount Vernon, I mean for Ferndale, just because Mount
- 5:12Speaker 1: Vernon got off to such a hot start and I
- 5:16Speaker 1: kind of feel like if there was a fifth quarter
- 5:17Speaker 1: Ferndale could have gotten the lead. They were just they
- 5:20Speaker 1: were playing pretty well at the end of the game,
- 5:23Speaker 1: just not enough time to make up for what had
- 5:25Speaker 1: happened earlier in the game. You know, that was that's
- 5:30Speaker 1: that was basically it. On the defensive side of the ball,
- 5:34Speaker 1: Chance Hatchett had a great game. Nine and a half tackles,
- 5:36Speaker 1: two tackles for loss, a pass broken up, Asaiah Ness
- 5:41Speaker 1: Leo Pipatelli. I want to hopefully I'm saying that right.
- 5:45Speaker 1: He really impressed me, both on special teams and on defense.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Seven tackles, one tackle for loss. A very physical player
- 5:52Speaker 1: defensive end, runs down on kickoff and does some great things.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Elliott Lenson. Elliot Lenson and John Stannik each had quite
- 6:02Speaker 1: a bit of tackles. Lent him a six and a
- 6:03Speaker 1: half stank with seven and then Ryder Bevan had a
- 6:07Speaker 1: tackle for lost. Three tackles and it passed broken up.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Those were kind of your leaders on defense. Again, Ferndale
- 6:13Speaker 1: falling forty two to thirty three. They are now two
- 6:17Speaker 1: and two on the season. They will travel to Stanwood
- 6:19Speaker 1: on Friday and take on the Spartans at seven o'clock.
- 6:23Speaker 1: We go to our next game. We're gonna head out
- 6:25Speaker 1: to Deming. Mount Baker Mountaineers defeated Sultan fifty nine to fourteen,
- 6:30Speaker 1: and it was all Mount Baker in the first half,
- 6:32Speaker 1: fifty four to seven after one half. I was out
- 6:35Speaker 1: there for most of the first half of this one.
- 6:38Speaker 1: There was record breaking performances up and down Toga Tiglau.
- 6:44Speaker 1: He completed nine to fourteen passes for two hundred and
- 6:47Speaker 1: forty nine yards and five touchdowns. Those five touchdowns all
- 6:50Speaker 1: in the first half too. That's a new school record
- 6:54Speaker 1: for Mount Baker. There has been a handful of guys
- 6:57Speaker 1: that had thrown four touchdown passes in a game. He
- 6:59Speaker 1: becomes the to throw five. Jet Ross caught six passes
- 7:03Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty four yards and at four touchdowns,
- 7:07Speaker 1: he becomes the first player in school history to catch
- 7:10Speaker 1: four touchdowns in one game. Again, a lot of guys
- 7:12Speaker 1: that have caught three. I want to say, like seven
- 7:14Speaker 1: guys that have caught three, seven or eight, and he's
- 7:18Speaker 1: the first one to catch four. Gage Smith also caught
- 7:21Speaker 1: a forty four yard touchdown pass that was the first
- 7:23Speaker 1: score of the game, very very early on. And yeah,
- 7:27Speaker 1: the passing game they threw for two hundred and fifty
- 7:29Speaker 1: seven yards did the Mountaineers. That's quite a lot for
- 7:33Speaker 1: them and that, but it shows a lot that going
- 7:36Speaker 1: into league play, yeah, you better be ready for both,
- 7:39Speaker 1: not just the run but the pass as well. On
- 7:41Speaker 1: the ground, Bryce Cooper eight carries for one hundred and
- 7:44Speaker 1: twenty eight yards and a touchdown. Cam Den Moa six
- 7:47Speaker 1: carries for sixty one yards and two touchdowns. Noah Nicole
- 7:50Speaker 1: Mills had five carries for twenty three yards. So the
- 7:54Speaker 1: mount Baker running tack looked great as well. They did
- 7:57Speaker 1: allow a touchdown in the first quarter, just kind of
- 7:59Speaker 1: a a tight end drag almost it might have been
- 8:03Speaker 1: an out, but he just kind of caught it and
- 8:06Speaker 1: the defender made made an effort to get the ball,
- 8:09Speaker 1: and when that happened, it left him wide, you know,
- 8:12Speaker 1: wide open. He caught it, went down his sideline and
- 8:15Speaker 1: scored on a sixty five yeard touchdown. They also scored
- 8:17Speaker 1: late in the game against the backups and Knock Smith
- 8:21Speaker 1: eight for eight on extra points and a twenty eight
- 8:24Speaker 1: yard field goal. Those eleven kicking points in one game
- 8:27Speaker 1: ties the school record. A few other guys have done
- 8:30Speaker 1: that in the past. If you look at the defense. No. One.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Nicole Mills had the best game, nine tackles, two tackles
- 8:35Speaker 1: for loss and a forced fumble. Trent and George two
- 8:38Speaker 1: and a half tackles, a tackle for loss and a
- 8:40Speaker 1: forced fumble as well a couple you know, Kel Reardon
- 8:44Speaker 1: recovered a fumble, Andrew Monteith also forced a fumble. I
- 8:48Speaker 1: believe that could have been on a kickoff. Yeah, just
- 8:52Speaker 1: some really you know, great overall game for Mount Baker
- 8:56Speaker 1: looked really sharp at home. Just they kind of look
- 9:00Speaker 1: like where they want to be and you know, you
- 9:01Speaker 1: could have been a letdown after the Bellevue game, and
- 9:04Speaker 1: it wasn't. I mean, they really hung in there, played hard,
- 9:08Speaker 1: and they looked like the Mount Baker team that were
- 9:10Speaker 1: just used to seeing. So good for them. I think,
- 9:14Speaker 1: you know, when you think of their team three years
- 9:16Speaker 1: ago that got to the state championship team, they had
- 9:20Speaker 1: a great run in the playoffs, and then the last
- 9:22Speaker 1: two years they have not really been where they've wanted
- 9:25Speaker 1: to be, and I think they're kind of back to
- 9:27Speaker 1: where they want to be. So that's really good to
- 9:28Speaker 1: see for the boys out of Deming and they are
- 9:32Speaker 1: three and one now. They will begin conference play on
- 9:34Speaker 1: Friday when they travel to Nuiksack Valley to take on
- 9:37Speaker 1: the Pioneers at seven o'clock. And for our next game,
- 9:42Speaker 1: we're going to go into the coach's corner and talk
- 9:44Speaker 1: to our coach, Jeff Wood. Coach, how are you.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Doing doing great? Tyler?
- 9:49Speaker 1: Awesome? So you were out there at Civic Stadium to
- 9:51Speaker 1: see Seahome defeat Burlington Edison forty two to seven right
- 9:56Speaker 1: off the bat Sea home scores on a seven yard
- 10:00Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Nolan right to Sawyer Woods. But what
- 10:03Speaker 1: made that pretty interesting And I don't know how many
- 10:05Speaker 1: people knew this coming into the game, but he was tied.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Nolan Wright was tied for the most touchdown passes in
- 10:11Speaker 1: Walkin County history in a career. He broke it with
- 10:15Speaker 1: that one for his eighty fifth touchdown pass. You were
- 10:19Speaker 1: there when Nolan Wright stepped on campus as a fresh
- 10:22Speaker 1: faced freshman. Do you have any fun Nolan Wright stories
- 10:26Speaker 1: to tell us?
- 10:29Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's been you know, four years of a
- 10:36Speaker 3: lot of excellent quarterback play and leadership, and you know
- 10:40Speaker 3: he's just a great person as well as a great quarterback.
- 10:43Speaker 3: But about five years ago, I was sitting we had
- 10:49Speaker 3: one of those teacher work days and you can see
- 10:51Speaker 3: the field at Seahome from the school and I look
- 10:56Speaker 3: out there. I think it's March, so it's kind of
- 10:58Speaker 3: like kind of a nice weather day, and I see
- 11:02Speaker 3: these two kids out there. One kid pretty tiny, running routes,
- 11:06Speaker 3: pretty good route runner, but it's pretty small, and the
- 11:10Speaker 3: other kid, you know, a little bit bigger and just
- 11:14Speaker 3: throwing seeds.
- 11:16Speaker 2: So I'm like, is this like a Western kid and
- 11:19Speaker 2: his little brother or.
- 11:22Speaker 3: So I walked down there and it's Hudson Nep running
- 11:28Speaker 3: routes and Nolan right throwing the passes to him.
- 11:33Speaker 2: And I'd heard about.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Nolan, you know, coming up, that he was going to
- 11:38Speaker 3: be a freshman that next year, and so I introduced myself,
- 11:41Speaker 3: and I knew Huddy a little.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Bit because he was around because Carson I was playing.
- 11:46Speaker 3: For us, so I kind of recognize him once I
- 11:48Speaker 3: got down there, and you know, they're just working out,
- 11:52Speaker 3: getting some work in because their eighth grade season was
- 11:55Speaker 3: coming up because they play in the spring in the
- 11:57Speaker 3: Bellingham School League, right, So I was like, this kid
- 12:03Speaker 3: is gonna be something else, and he has been. And
- 12:08Speaker 3: then you know, so that fall he comes in and
- 12:12Speaker 3: you know, physically mature. He can throw it, he can
- 12:15Speaker 3: run it. And we changed offenses that year because uh
- 12:22Speaker 3: Turp went up to coach Elsie Right and we had
- 12:26Speaker 3: Tommy Funk running the rock stud pretty good old line.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Uh So we started running wing tea which was perfect
- 12:34Speaker 3: because you know, we didn't want to put too much
- 12:37Speaker 3: on Nolan's plate as a freshman because that's pretty rare
- 12:40Speaker 3: to start as a freshman quarterback varsity level. And Carson
- 12:46Speaker 3: Nef was great about it. He switched because he played
- 12:48Speaker 3: quarterback the prior year about halftime, so he switched a
- 12:52Speaker 3: running back and Nolan was a quarterback and we had
- 12:56Speaker 3: Funk and we had a pretty senior dominated team. But
- 13:00Speaker 3: Nolan stepped right in and did a did a great job.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Asked him when we asked him to pass, which was
- 13:08Speaker 3: kind of interesting because Beast called the run plays and
- 13:11Speaker 3: I was called the pass plays. So it's kind of
- 13:13Speaker 3: an offensive coordinator by a committee. And we had a
- 13:18Speaker 3: had a heck of a season. Unfortunately that was around
- 13:23Speaker 3: to sixteen or instead of thirty two, so only two bids.
- 13:28Speaker 3: We lost a couple of tough ones to Anacordus and Lendon,
- 13:32Speaker 3: and so we ended up not making the state tournament,
- 13:36Speaker 3: but I was actually looking back at his stats, those
- 13:38Speaker 3: were Nolan's two best games statistically because we had to
- 13:43Speaker 3: throw the ball more so we weren't able to run
- 13:45Speaker 3: rush it.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Quite as much.
- 13:47Speaker 3: And yeah, so just you know, watching him these last
- 13:53Speaker 3: three years has been super impressive. His maturity and you know,
- 13:58Speaker 3: leading the team and it's been a very talented team
- 14:02Speaker 3: that's helped him out and they've had had a good run.
- 14:05Speaker 3: So anyway, went off a while on no One right,
- 14:09Speaker 3: but a great kid and I mean obviously one of
- 14:14Speaker 3: the best to ever do it in Wakome County.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm glad I was able to have
- 14:18Speaker 1: you on and with with all this because you know
- 14:21Speaker 1: him better than most and I know him pretty well,
- 14:23Speaker 1: but not like you do. And I remember hearing about
- 14:27Speaker 1: him as well and going out to practice and just
- 14:30Speaker 1: kind of him opening my eyes, like like you said,
- 14:33Speaker 1: the first time you see him throw a ball and
- 14:34Speaker 1: you're thinking, my goodness, this is different. But I remember
- 14:38Speaker 1: at the time he was kind of one be carsonef
- 14:41Speaker 1: was the quarterback when I went out to practice, and
- 14:43Speaker 1: I remember asking Carson to do the intro for me
- 14:47Speaker 1: for the Seahomes team preview and I gave him the
- 14:50Speaker 1: script and I think it said this is Seahome quarterback
- 14:55Speaker 1: carsonef and you're listening, you know, And and he sent
- 14:59Speaker 1: it back to me and you go, I don't think
- 15:01Speaker 1: I'm playing quarterback anymore. But like you said, he was
- 15:05Speaker 1: totally cool with the team guy, and right off the bat,
- 15:11Speaker 1: I mean that Week one against Mount Baker, I mean,
- 15:14Speaker 1: he played really well and Baker went to the state
- 15:16Speaker 1: championship game that year. See them won that game, So
- 15:19Speaker 1: you're right, it was a great team right off the bat.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Super happy for that kid. You know, he won Walking
- 15:26Speaker 1: Preps Freshman in the year. He won the Sophomore of
- 15:28Speaker 1: the Year. There is no Junior of the Year, so
- 15:31Speaker 1: he didn't win one of my football awards last year.
- 15:33Speaker 1: But boy, he is one of the best to ever
- 15:36Speaker 1: do it, and so I'm glad that he's still able
- 15:39Speaker 1: to do it and play really well. That first quarter, though,
- 15:44Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Seelim drove right down, but Burlington looked
- 15:47Speaker 1: pretty good on their first drive.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Well they did.
- 15:51Speaker 3: They were pretty balanced as well, and they were running
- 15:55Speaker 3: quarterback quite a bit, a little bit of quarterback counter.
- 15:58Speaker 3: They were passing, they were hitting uh some screen passes
- 16:02Speaker 3: and kind of a fake screen. So they they had
- 16:06Speaker 3: a successful drive, just marched down and seven to seven
- 16:10Speaker 3: after the first two series, so I thought it was
- 16:13Speaker 3: going to be a little bit closer than it ended
- 16:16Speaker 3: up being.
- 16:16Speaker 2: But the the Seahome defense really clamped down after that.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Yeah, especially against the run I mean Burlington. For them
- 16:25Speaker 1: to finish with twenty four yards total rushing on the
- 16:29Speaker 1: game is really impressive. You know, it really shows me
- 16:33Speaker 1: a lot because the Sea I knew they had some
- 16:35Speaker 1: good linemen coming back. I knew they had a great secondary,
- 16:38Speaker 1: but they had to replace those linebackers, I mean the
- 16:40Speaker 1: Carl Box and the and and what was his name,
- 16:45Speaker 1: finn uh Fisher Hall, Yes, those two right right, that's right.
- 16:53Speaker 1: And those two linebackers were just so good. And Solomon
- 16:56Speaker 1: McAllister was a linebacker. And so the guys they brought in,
- 16:59Speaker 1: you know, with Tyson Goodman going from the outside of
- 17:01Speaker 1: the inside and and and those kids have really stood
- 17:06Speaker 1: you know, really stood out and have played well. Obviously.
- 17:10Speaker 1: You know, Cole Terrell, he had a great game in
- 17:13Speaker 1: a couple of sacks he forced to fumble. Nolan Wright
- 17:16Speaker 1: had five and a half tackles. He actually got involved
- 17:19Speaker 1: quite a bit defensively and carsone f of course, with
- 17:22Speaker 1: six tackles, he had an interception, So it was it
- 17:26Speaker 1: was it was cool to see that, and you're right,
- 17:28Speaker 1: I mean it was sem kind of started to do
- 17:31Speaker 1: their thing. I thought a really impressive play was the
- 17:34Speaker 1: touchdown pass to al Miller right before the half. It
- 17:38Speaker 1: was a thirty two yard touchdown pass. Do you can
- 17:40Speaker 1: you recall that play and tell us what you saw
- 17:43Speaker 1: on that play?
- 17:45Speaker 4: I can, And that pass was again illustrates athleticism, breaking
- 17:51Speaker 4: the pocket, throwing on the run. Al Miller did a
- 17:55Speaker 4: great job breaking off his route and then heading up
- 17:58Speaker 4: the sideline and you know, got a little separation, not
- 18:02Speaker 4: too much, and Nolan just placed it perfectly, you know,
- 18:07Speaker 4: over his shoulder, and uh, it was a like Al's
- 18:10Speaker 4: hands are great.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You know his dad was a great receiver too, and
- 18:14Speaker 2: it was a great, great catch by Al.
- 18:17Speaker 3: And you know, just having multiple weapons is pretty pretty
- 18:23Speaker 3: tough for Sea him to defend. You got Al, you
- 18:25Speaker 3: got Tyson Goodman caught along path for a touchdown.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Obviously have theo quiggle. You got Swyer Woods.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Uh looking back at full strength now just really hitting
- 18:35Speaker 3: the hole with a burst playing tailback and yeah, so
- 18:41Speaker 3: uh it's gonna be quite a match up on Thursday night.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I think with Lennon, Oh my goodness, you're not kidding.
- 18:47Speaker 1: I mean, that's and it's tough because Lennon coming off
- 18:51Speaker 1: Anna chordis, They've got some guys banged up. They did
- 18:54Speaker 1: not finish the game completely healthy. It was a close game.
- 18:57Speaker 1: But to have to recover and have a short week
- 19:00Speaker 1: and then play against Sea home, that's going to be
- 19:03Speaker 1: a tough task. And I don't know the last time
- 19:05Speaker 1: see Holm beat lind And I remember putting it out
- 19:07Speaker 1: there on the website, you know, a few years ago
- 19:10Speaker 1: that it's been it had been like twenty years or
- 19:12Speaker 1: something like that. But so I know it's been a while,
- 19:15Speaker 1: but that's going to be interesting. And you're so right,
- 19:18Speaker 1: you know, you talk. You know, it's great to see
- 19:20Speaker 1: going right with all his weapons. But Sawyer woods, uh,
- 19:24Speaker 1: so glad that he is healthy this year. And I
- 19:26Speaker 1: remember talking to him in August to practice and I
- 19:28Speaker 1: asked him, I was like, are you one hundred percent?
- 19:30Speaker 1: And he's like, yes, I feel good, which is obviously
- 19:34Speaker 1: great to see because he's such an important part and
- 19:37Speaker 1: when you know, and you know this better than anybody,
- 19:40Speaker 1: if you can you know, if you can run the
- 19:42Speaker 1: ball too, that's I mean, it's just going to open
- 19:45Speaker 1: up each other, right the run in the past and
- 19:47Speaker 1: back and forth, and that's going to be such a great,
- 19:49Speaker 1: great thing for that Seal offense and with the defense
- 19:52Speaker 1: playing as well as it is just very very impressive. Yeah,
- 19:59Speaker 1: I I was just really I mean, the overall game
- 20:03Speaker 1: that the Mariners played really showed me a lot. You know,
- 20:06Speaker 1: their one loss all year was that that game out
- 20:09Speaker 1: at Anna Chordus. You know, it's I don't know, there's
- 20:14Speaker 1: not there's just not that many holes on this team
- 20:18Speaker 1: right now, and they're playing with confidence. If I think
- 20:23Speaker 1: I'm correcting this, but I believe they get Lockeye back
- 20:26Speaker 1: on this this week's game. So that's just an added
- 20:30Speaker 1: little bonus there. And uh, you know, and you you
- 20:34Speaker 1: coached Lockie too. He was at Sea Home as a freshman. Uh,
- 20:39Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about what the Sea Home
- 20:41Speaker 1: fans can expect when he comes back.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Yeah, So a lot of fans that've seen him play
- 20:47Speaker 5: the last two years for Squalcum, he's played multiple positions,
- 20:51Speaker 5: tight end, running back, defensive end slash that's kind of
- 20:54Speaker 5: the outside linebacker spot.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Uh in that that defense for for Squala com.
- 21:01Speaker 3: So I'm sure he'll be on the field, probably more defensively,
- 21:06Speaker 3: either at a linebacker or probably a d n I'm not,
- 21:09Speaker 3: you know, not not one hundred percent sure, but he'll
- 21:13Speaker 3: be on the field definitely defensively and probably kind of
- 21:18Speaker 3: a rotational guy offensively somewhere running back or tight end.
- 21:22Speaker 2: You know, I don't, I'm just spec I'm speculating here, right,
- 21:26Speaker 2: but that would that would be my guess. And he's
- 21:30Speaker 2: he's a difference maker.
- 21:31Speaker 3: He's a heck of an athlete and fast and tall
- 21:34Speaker 3: and strong, and you know, he played a little bit
- 21:36Speaker 3: his freshman year and special teams and we got him
- 21:39Speaker 3: a little a little time on defense. But uh yeah,
- 21:42Speaker 3: so that'll that'll definitely bolster See Home because they're especially
- 21:46Speaker 3: playing Linden. Linden's doesn't have many guys going both ways
- 21:49Speaker 3: and See Home always does, so that that will help
- 21:53Speaker 3: with the depth.
- 21:55Speaker 2: I know that year Nolan's freshman year we had him.
- 21:59Speaker 2: It was a one score game.
- 22:00Speaker 3: They pulled a fake field goal, great call by them,
- 22:03Speaker 3: scored a touchdown, so they're up, don't ten eleven and
- 22:08Speaker 3: Nolan took us down. We had the two minute oh
- 22:11Speaker 3: and got it back to whatever it was three four
- 22:15Speaker 3: points and we tried to onside kick.
- 22:17Speaker 1: And didn't make it.
- 22:19Speaker 2: But heck of heck of a game there.
- 22:23Speaker 3: So I think it'll be another The other guy that's
- 22:26Speaker 3: gonna kind of be a key player that we haven't
- 22:30Speaker 3: mentioned too much with seahome Is you've mentioned him, I think,
- 22:33Speaker 3: but Nicky Smith, and he's a real physical, big, tall
- 22:39Speaker 3: corner that can cover pretty well, and so I would
- 22:43Speaker 3: think he would probably be matched up with Sam Morango,
- 22:46Speaker 3: who's obviously a great receiver, and Lyndon does a great job,
- 22:50Speaker 3: you know, throwing the ball. So we'll see that'll be
- 22:56Speaker 3: that'll be kind of one of those key matchups. But
- 22:58Speaker 3: I'm just I'm excited to see a play out, two
- 23:01Speaker 3: great teams playing on a Thursday night. Everybody will be there.
- 23:05Speaker 3: There's no other games that I know.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Of right exactly, football wise, there's not. There's there are
- 23:10Speaker 1: some volleyball matches, a really really good one actually between
- 23:14Speaker 1: Knooksack Valley and Ferndale, but but you're right, that football
- 23:17Speaker 1: game is going to be out of this world. I'm really,
- 23:20Speaker 1: really excited for it, and it's gonna it's gonna really
- 23:24Speaker 1: show a lot because these are the two teams that
- 23:26Speaker 1: have already lost to Anna Chordis, So it's really gonna
- 23:28Speaker 1: start to open up seeding and stuff like that. As
- 23:32Speaker 1: far as the top four seeds, I mean, I think
- 23:35Speaker 1: we all know kind of who the top four teams are,
- 23:38Speaker 1: but it's just going to be a matter of one, two, three,
- 23:40Speaker 1: and four. And with some of these teams already having
- 23:44Speaker 1: played each other, it's just gonna kind of separate more
- 23:47Speaker 1: once they play more. And that's what this Thursday is
- 23:49Speaker 1: gonna is gonna bring. So really excited about that. You're
- 23:53Speaker 1: spot on about Nicky Smith. He's doing well in the
- 23:56Speaker 1: kickoff returns, kind of been he hasn't ran the ball
- 23:59Speaker 1: in the last couple weeks. I think he's if really
- 24:01Speaker 1: just put him on, you know, to focus on defense
- 24:03Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And I think that matchup with
- 24:05Speaker 1: Sam Moorango could be something else. Number one versus number one,
- 24:08Speaker 1: I love it. So not just the wide receiver one
- 24:11Speaker 1: corner one. We're talking Jersey numbers here, so numerology right
- 24:15Speaker 1: up right up my alley there. So thanks a lots
- 24:18Speaker 1: coach for joining us and we'll be excited to talk
- 24:21Speaker 1: to you next week.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Tyler.
- 24:23Speaker 1: All right, so that's coach Wood talking about the Seahome Mariners,
- 24:26Speaker 1: who look great. We're gonna move on to the next
- 24:29Speaker 1: game that happened on Friday. That was the Blaine Border
- 24:31Speaker 1: Rights hosting the Granite Falls Tigers, and Grand Falls comes
- 24:36Speaker 1: into the game undefeated, Blaine coming off that big win
- 24:38Speaker 1: against Shelan, and the first half was pretty even. Granit
- 24:42Speaker 1: Falls was up seven to six at halftime, but actually
- 24:46Speaker 1: Blaine had, you know, had a ton more yards. I
- 24:48Speaker 1: think they had like one hundred and sixty yards of
- 24:50Speaker 1: offense and Grant Falls only had like eighty something. So
- 24:53Speaker 1: Blaine actually was looking pretty darn good, only a point down,
- 24:57Speaker 1: but doing much more on the offense moving the ball.
- 25:00Speaker 1: But the second half was just kind of it kind
- 25:03Speaker 1: of got away from them fast, you know. Uh, Blaine
- 25:06Speaker 1: fumbles the kickoff to start the third quarter. Grand Falls
- 25:10Speaker 1: gets a short field scores on a one yard touchdown run.
- 25:14Speaker 1: There was another time when it might have been on
- 25:18Speaker 1: fourth down when the snap went over the quarterback's head
- 25:21Speaker 1: and then Grand Falls was able to get the ball
- 25:23Speaker 1: in the six yard line. They score right there. And
- 25:25Speaker 1: on the next play. So it was and we've been
- 25:28Speaker 1: seeing this with the Border Rights this year, where these
- 25:30Speaker 1: little mistakes here and there have turned into automatic points
- 25:34Speaker 1: on the other side quickly. And that's what's going to
- 25:36Speaker 1: happen with a young team. The Border Rights are a
- 25:38Speaker 1: very young team. They're very talented, but they're still learning
- 25:41Speaker 1: how to play together. They're still learning the game of football,
- 25:44Speaker 1: for crying out loud, and there are some really fun moments,
- 25:49Speaker 1: some magical moments when you watch them play. You could
- 25:51Speaker 1: see the talent is there and for you know, eighty
- 25:55Speaker 1: five percent of this team, it's going to be those
- 25:58Speaker 1: these same kids for the next couple of years. So
- 26:00Speaker 1: it's that's what's going to be really really fun. Blaine.
- 26:04Speaker 1: As a team, they only ran the ball for nine yards,
- 26:07Speaker 1: but they completed eleven of twenty three passes for one
- 26:09Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine yards. Leading on the ground, jad
- 26:14Speaker 1: and Johannison had twenty seven yards on nine carries. Connor
- 26:17Speaker 1: Brown threw for one hundred and fifty nine yards. Like
- 26:19Speaker 1: I said earlier, ky Kerwin six catches for one hundred
- 26:22Speaker 1: and four yards and the touchdown. Peyton Bama had three
- 26:25Speaker 1: catches for forty seven yards. Isaac Bauman and Hunter Candonoza
- 26:29Speaker 1: each had a reception as well. If you look on
- 26:31Speaker 1: the defensive side, Matt Campion, who had a great game
- 26:35Speaker 1: last week, he was the defensive player of the week.
- 26:37Speaker 1: Last week, he had another great one eleven and a
- 26:39Speaker 1: half tackles, half a tackle for loss. He was all
- 26:42Speaker 1: over the place. Reminds me a lot of Xavier Pairing
- 26:44Speaker 1: from Meridian. Those two guys when they tackle you, it's
- 26:49Speaker 1: basically like they just they just wherever you are, They're
- 26:52Speaker 1: going to jump with all four appendages to wrap around
- 26:55Speaker 1: your body and take you down very I mean, it's
- 26:58Speaker 1: it's effective to a degree. You're gonna see what happens
- 27:03Speaker 1: sometimes with other kind of ball carriers. But they had to.
- 27:06Speaker 1: They both just have a really good nose for the ball.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Speaking of nose for the ball, Axel Shelton nine and
- 27:10Speaker 1: a half tackles, one tackle for loss. You know, he
- 27:15Speaker 1: got moved to right tackle a couple of weeks ago.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Has been playing both ways every single snap and it
- 27:21Speaker 1: has not effected his linebacker play, which is really good
- 27:23Speaker 1: to see. That was kind of the one thing I
- 27:24Speaker 1: was a little worried about. Peyton Bauma another great game.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Four tackles, two passes knocked down, and he had an interception.
- 27:32Speaker 1: He's kind of playing that hybrid, you know, depending on
- 27:36Speaker 1: the offense, could be strong safety, could be outside linebacker,
- 27:39Speaker 1: stand up defensive end. He's that kind of athlete that
- 27:42Speaker 1: could play at any level on the defense and play
- 27:45Speaker 1: very well. Another guy playing very well is Blake Collins,
- 27:48Speaker 1: the defensive tackle. I thought he had a great game,
- 27:51Speaker 1: seven tackles, very very active. The former linebacker turned defensive
- 27:55Speaker 1: lineman fits right into coach Olsen's scheme with you know,
- 27:59Speaker 1: guys that are quick up, can get off the ball,
- 28:01Speaker 1: and can make tackles on that defensive line. So really
- 28:05Speaker 1: really cool to see there. I also saw Reyes Milligan
- 28:07Speaker 1: make a good play behind the line of scrimmage, the
- 28:10Speaker 1: kid that's new to football wrestling star. I've been kind
- 28:13Speaker 1: of waiting for that, not breakout game, but maybe breakout moment,
- 28:17Speaker 1: and I think I saw it in that game against
- 28:19Speaker 1: Granted Fall, So that was really good to see. You know,
- 28:23Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough road ahead now because you've
- 28:25Speaker 1: got league play. You still have one more game at
- 28:28Speaker 1: Friday Harbor, the non league game. But going going forward,
- 28:32Speaker 1: it's gonna get pretty tough, especially when they play this
- 28:37Speaker 1: upcoming week at Lennon Christian who's four and zero on
- 28:40Speaker 1: Friday at seven o'clock. Blaine is one and three on
- 28:42Speaker 1: the season. Now, good luck to the border Rights going forward.
- 28:46Speaker 1: We'll just have to see how they do. And I
- 28:48Speaker 1: think I think they Like I said, there's there are
- 28:51Speaker 1: these moments that are really really fun to see with them,
- 28:55Speaker 1: and so they just have to kind of put it
- 28:57Speaker 1: together and not make as many mistakes. And the more
- 29:01Speaker 1: they play together, you're gonna see great improvement throughout the
- 29:04Speaker 1: entire season. There might not be a more improved team
- 29:06Speaker 1: from week one to week ten. So that's what's gonna
- 29:08Speaker 1: be really fun with the Blaine border Rights. Next, we're
- 29:12Speaker 1: gonna head down to Everett and talk about the Archbishop
- 29:17Speaker 1: Murphy Wildcats who defeated Bellingham sixty one to twenty eight.
- 29:21Speaker 1: This game was forty seven to zero after the first quarter,
- 29:24Speaker 1: and Archbishop Murphy just has athletes everywhere. It was it
- 29:31Speaker 1: was something. Abraham Lucas of the Seattle Seahawks was on
- 29:34Speaker 1: the sidelines watching the former Wildcat himself and it was,
- 29:41Speaker 1: you know, his homecoming, and they just got off to
- 29:44Speaker 1: such a great start, and you know, a touchdown on
- 29:47Speaker 1: the first I believe it was the first play from scrimmage,
- 29:49Speaker 1: and then there was a pick six right after that,
- 29:51Speaker 1: and it just kind of steamrolled kept going. What was
- 29:55Speaker 1: great about Bellingham is they did they did make some plays.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Even in the first half. Ben Leonard hit a twenty
- 30:01Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown pass to Joe Harward and then he
- 30:03Speaker 1: completed a seventy three yard touchdown pass to Calvin van
- 30:06Speaker 1: Hofwagen on a great play where Leonard is scrambling to
- 30:10Speaker 1: his right Van Haffwig and breaks off his route and
- 30:12Speaker 1: right as he does it upfield, Leonard finds him over
- 30:15Speaker 1: the shoulder of Ben Hoffwagen outsprints the defense from their
- 30:18Speaker 1: seventy three yards for a touchdown. That was with not
- 30:21Speaker 1: much time left in the first half, So that was
- 30:26Speaker 1: a great, great play. But then the right after that,
- 30:30Speaker 1: Archbishop returned the ensuing kickoff eighty four yards for a touchdown.
- 30:34Speaker 1: But Bellingham scored two more touchdowns in the in the
- 30:37Speaker 1: second half, both of them Leonard to Joe Harward and
- 30:41Speaker 1: on the game, Ben Leonard seventeen of thirty four passing
- 30:44Speaker 1: for three hundred and eight yards and four touchdowns. You
- 30:47Speaker 1: know what's What's what's really cool about that is he
- 30:50Speaker 1: made his varsity debut against these same Wildcats. When he
- 30:53Speaker 1: came into the game in the second half, found Hardward
- 30:57Speaker 1: on a couple of deep pop passes, and I think
- 31:00Speaker 1: Harvard broke the school record that day on yards per
- 31:03Speaker 1: catch in a game. Now you have to catch a
- 31:06Speaker 1: certain amount of passes. I think you have to catch
- 31:07Speaker 1: at least four the way I have it, but he
- 31:10Speaker 1: broke a record that say that first day as a receiver,
- 31:13Speaker 1: and to see them connect this way again is really
- 31:17Speaker 1: cool against the same team. Scoring twenty eight points against
- 31:19Speaker 1: Archbishop Murphy's pretty great for them. It was against the backups,
- 31:25Speaker 1: but it was great to see them stay in there
- 31:27Speaker 1: and play well. Joe Harvard eight catches for one hundred
- 31:31Speaker 1: and eighty yards and three touchdowns. That was a really
- 31:35Speaker 1: really cool deal. His next touchdown catch will be a
- 31:39Speaker 1: monumental one for a specific record that I will not
- 31:43Speaker 1: get into at this moment. People can do their research
- 31:47Speaker 1: if they want to figure that one out. That's my
- 31:50Speaker 1: plug of how to get clicks on the website. Calvin
- 31:53Speaker 1: ben hoffwag And three catches for eighty yards. Owen Hanstead
- 31:57Speaker 1: three catches for twenty seven yards and Milo Right three
- 32:00Speaker 1: catches for twenty one yards. So Leonard was spreading it
- 32:03Speaker 1: out to all his athletes and they did a great,
- 32:05Speaker 1: great job. Eli good Buffalo on defense, four and a
- 32:08Speaker 1: half tackles, two tackles for loss, and a quarterback sack.
- 32:11Speaker 1: I thought he had his best game of the year
- 32:12Speaker 1: so far, and to do it against that team that
- 32:14Speaker 1: really said a lot. Calvin van hoffwayg and six and
- 32:17Speaker 1: a half tackles and a tackle for loss as well.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Julian Montoya had a tackle for loss. Joe Harward knocked
- 32:24Speaker 1: down a couple passes, Cyrus Campos had an interception. So
- 32:28Speaker 1: there were some good things to hang their hat on defensively,
- 32:31Speaker 1: you know, going through that juggernaut of Antichortus and then Archbishop.
- 32:34Speaker 1: Now they're going to get into their meat of their schedule.
- 32:36Speaker 1: They got a non conference game coming up. They will
- 32:39Speaker 1: be on the road to take on Granite Falls, who's
- 32:42Speaker 1: four and oh now on Friday at seven o'clock. Bellingham
- 32:46Speaker 1: is two and two now on the season, and you know,
- 32:49Speaker 1: last year, I think they only had two wins, and
- 32:52Speaker 1: so I think they're definitely going to surpass that this year.
- 32:55Speaker 1: They're looking for a big finish here, and I'm excited
- 32:58Speaker 1: to kind of see what kinds of things they could
- 33:01Speaker 1: have go down, because I think there's a lot of
- 33:03Speaker 1: potential here to finish the season strong. There's some very
- 33:08Speaker 1: athletic guys on that team and really really fun to watch.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Next up, we're gonna head out to sid Lambert Field
- 33:15Speaker 1: as Nukzack Valley hosted Tomwater the perennial two A powerhouse Thunderbirds,
- 33:22Speaker 1: and after one quarter, Nuzack Valley was up seven to six.
- 33:26Speaker 1: That was great to see. Tom Water scored first, but
- 33:28Speaker 1: they missed the extra point. Evan Brown hit Cole Coppinger
- 33:32Speaker 1: in a thirty eight yard touchdown pass. Tyler Martin's extra
- 33:35Speaker 1: point gave Nuksack Valley the leads seven to six. Second
- 33:40Speaker 1: quarter was all Tumwater. They score on three consecutive possessions.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Nuksack Valley was able to score again late in the
- 33:50Speaker 1: second quarter on a twenty yard touchdown pass from Evan
- 33:53Speaker 1: Brown to Cole Coppinger again, but then Tumwater returned the
- 33:56Speaker 1: ensuing kickoff eighty eight yards for a touchdown, which gave
- 33:59Speaker 1: Nukxack a little time before halftime, but they took advantage
- 34:02Speaker 1: of it, drove down the field and Dane Ackerman caught
- 34:05Speaker 1: a twenty nine yard touchdown pass or no, I'm sorry,
- 34:08Speaker 1: I'm getting that. I'm getting that mixed up here or no, yeah,
- 34:14Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, he caught a twenty nine yard touchdown
- 34:17Speaker 1: pass right at the end of the half. My apologies.
- 34:20Speaker 1: And there was some stuff that was really working. There
- 34:23Speaker 1: was a really neat play. I don't even know how
- 34:25Speaker 1: to describe it, but it's kind of like you're they're
- 34:27Speaker 1: setting up a screen pass, but it's not really a
- 34:31Speaker 1: screen pass. I'm talking about kniksack valley here where then
- 34:34Speaker 1: they would throw it to an area and Dane Ackerman
- 34:36Speaker 1: just kind of came out of nowhere and would catch
- 34:38Speaker 1: it on the run and just pick up big yards
- 34:40Speaker 1: and it was working over and over again. And that
- 34:43Speaker 1: shows me a lot of what coach Bartell and his
- 34:47Speaker 1: assistants can do when they see film, they see things
- 34:50Speaker 1: that they can do against a really, really, really good opponent,
- 34:54Speaker 1: and then they implement it on the field and it works.
- 34:57Speaker 1: And it was working quite a bit. The third order
- 35:00Speaker 1: was scoreless on each side. I mean it was, you know,
- 35:04Speaker 1: thirty three to twenty one. Tumwater going into the fourth
- 35:07Speaker 1: and it was looking pretty darn good. Tom Water did
- 35:10Speaker 1: score next. Evan Brown scored right after that, so it
- 35:14Speaker 1: was still, you know, a pretty a pretty close game there,
- 35:17Speaker 1: forty one eight. But then tom Water had to pick
- 35:22Speaker 1: six late in the game that kind of iced it away.
- 35:24Speaker 1: But man, there was a few plays. There was a
- 35:26Speaker 1: play when Nuksack Valley fumbled the ball at the five
- 35:29Speaker 1: yard line. Tumwater got it, drove down and scored. So
- 35:32Speaker 1: that's a fourteen point swing right there. To pick six
- 35:34Speaker 1: at the end. You just never know. I really liked
- 35:38Speaker 1: what the Pioneers did here, and there were still without
- 35:40Speaker 1: some of their top players as well, but there were
- 35:44Speaker 1: some other guys that really really stuck out and played well.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I thought. I thought Trevin Skeenstra did ad a did
- 35:52Speaker 1: a good job. I've been kind of waiting for him
- 35:54Speaker 1: to get some carries back there, and he impressed me.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Only three carries, but twenty six yards did not go
- 35:59Speaker 1: down easy. Evan Brown, they put a lot on his
- 36:01Speaker 1: shoulders and he responded. Completed twenty five of forty four
- 36:05Speaker 1: passes for three hundred and thirty one yards and three touchdowns.
- 36:09Speaker 1: He also ran in a score. Dane Ackerman with a
- 36:12Speaker 1: career high all over the place eleven catches on the
- 36:15Speaker 1: game for one hundred and thirty three yards. That was
- 36:19Speaker 1: just super impressive. And every single week it seems like
- 36:22Speaker 1: he just gets better and better at that tight end spot,
- 36:27Speaker 1: which is which is amazing to see. Of course, you know,
- 36:31Speaker 1: for your old the old timers, you remember his uncle
- 36:34Speaker 1: Tom Ackerman, who was a pretty darn good tight end
- 36:36Speaker 1: in Nikzack Valley history, getting a full ride to Eastern
- 36:40Speaker 1: to play tight end, gets bulked up and plays on
- 36:43Speaker 1: the offensive line and then has a long career in
- 36:45Speaker 1: the NFL. So you just kind of never know with
- 36:48Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But you know, I'm you know,
- 36:51Speaker 1: when you when you look at Tom's stats his senior year,
- 36:54Speaker 1: he had eleven catches. His senior year, Dane had eleven
- 36:58Speaker 1: in the game. Tom had twenty four catches as a junior.
- 37:02Speaker 1: But still it's pretty impressive when you see kind of,
- 37:07Speaker 1: you know, what he's been able to do. I'm talking
- 37:11Speaker 1: about Dane looking pretty good as a tight end, and
- 37:14Speaker 1: they're finding ways in that offense to get him involved,
- 37:18Speaker 1: which is really cool to see. Tyler Martin had six
- 37:20Speaker 1: catches for sixty four yards taking the place of injured
- 37:24Speaker 1: Jayden Jones, and he really played a great game as well,
- 37:28Speaker 1: and on both sides of the ball, and in the
- 37:31Speaker 1: kicking game he made all four of his extra points.
- 37:33Speaker 1: We'll talk about the defense in a little bit. Cole
- 37:35Speaker 1: Coppinger I thought had his best game of the year too.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Five catches for one hundred and twelve yards and two touchdowns.
- 37:41Speaker 1: That's a monster game. Jackson Hester had to catch Skinstra
- 37:44Speaker 1: had two. If you look on the defensive side, Andrew
- 37:47Speaker 1: Dugger was all over the place, twelve tackles, one and
- 37:50Speaker 1: a half sacks. That was really really great to see.
- 37:53Speaker 1: I was really impressed with. You know, he's definitely back
- 37:56Speaker 1: to one hundred percent. I know he wasn't one hundred
- 37:58Speaker 1: percent weeks ago, and he's just been kind of working
- 38:02Speaker 1: himself back. Tyler Martin twelve tackles as well, which you know,
- 38:09Speaker 1: he was playing that safety spot. Usually plays corner. He
- 38:12Speaker 1: had to get moved out to safety to take the
- 38:15Speaker 1: place of injured Matthew Blake.
- 38:17Speaker 2: So.
- 38:19Speaker 1: You know, I think next couple of years that will
- 38:21Speaker 1: be his spot once Blake graduates, but right now playing
- 38:25Speaker 1: playing corner. But you know he's it's great because he's
- 38:27Speaker 1: got he's got pretty good speed, but he can tackle
- 38:30Speaker 1: like his brother. So that's that's kind of a nice
- 38:33Speaker 1: combo to have there. Jackson Hester again seven tackles that
- 38:37Speaker 1: kids all over the place, just having a phenomenal senior
- 38:40Speaker 1: year so far. Really really impressed with him. Yeah, you know,
- 38:45Speaker 1: it was weird because it's it's it's kind of like
- 38:47Speaker 1: the Bellevue game with Mount Baker. You know, you bring
- 38:50Speaker 1: in a team to play at your place that's a
- 38:52Speaker 1: you know, a team that's in state championship games over
- 38:55Speaker 1: and over again, and you know, it's just like you
- 38:58Speaker 1: know when Linda Christian was playing Royal those two years
- 39:00Speaker 1: in a row. And it's great that they're finding these
- 39:02Speaker 1: opponents to play them that you know they're not afraid of.
- 39:08Speaker 1: Oh well, we're supposed to beat you, so there's nothing
- 39:10Speaker 1: in it for us and all that garbage. I love
- 39:12Speaker 1: that they are playing. They're traveling up here, and I
- 39:15Speaker 1: thought Nuksack played great. You know, you come out of
- 39:19Speaker 1: there hopefully unscathed and unharmed because you know, knocking on
- 39:24Speaker 1: the door right now is coach Lepp and his guys
- 39:27Speaker 1: as Nuksac Valley's two and two. They're gonna begin conference
- 39:30Speaker 1: play on Friday when they host Mount Baker, who's three
- 39:32Speaker 1: and one. That's gonna be a great game. I believe
- 39:35Speaker 1: the radio will be out there for that one. I'm
- 39:37Speaker 1: probably gonna be out there for that one. It's good.
- 39:41Speaker 1: What a what a tremendous way to kick off the
- 39:43Speaker 1: one a conference play. I just have so many fun
- 39:49Speaker 1: memories of you know, Mount Baker versus Nuksac games and
- 39:54Speaker 1: over the years, and I mean, this is a rivalry
- 39:56Speaker 1: that's been going on for a long time. I think
- 39:58Speaker 1: over one hundred games against each other all time, and
- 40:01Speaker 1: not a lot of state, not a lot of teams
- 40:04Speaker 1: in the state of Washington say they've played each other
- 40:06Speaker 1: over one hundred times. So, uh, that's gonna be awesome.
- 40:10Speaker 1: I can't wait for that. It's uh, and it's gonna
- 40:12Speaker 1: it's gonna be honest. Before you know, I can't believe
- 40:14Speaker 1: we're getting in the week five here, but we're still
- 40:16Speaker 1: talking about week four and before before we go on
- 40:20Speaker 1: to the next game. I just, you know, again, I
- 40:23Speaker 1: just want to thank everybody for listening and and and
- 40:26Speaker 1: telling me that I'm doing an okay job by myself
- 40:29Speaker 1: on the podcast. It is not easy. Still wish Ryland
- 40:32Speaker 1: was able to help me along with this, but we're
- 40:35Speaker 1: making it happen. We're making it happen. So thank you
- 40:37Speaker 1: so much. The next game was the big one. Uh.
- 40:41Speaker 1: I was at a few games on Friday, it was
- 40:43Speaker 1: not at this one. Mikayla was there, but I had
- 40:45Speaker 1: it on the radio the whole time. Of course, I'm
- 40:47Speaker 1: talking about Anna Chordus defeating Linden twenty six to twenty three.
- 40:51Speaker 3: And it was.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Oh man, it was. It was just it was a
- 40:55Speaker 1: topsy turbe game. I mean, can went kind of went
- 40:57Speaker 1: back and forth, you know, Seesaw kind of game. Antichordis
- 41:02Speaker 1: jumps out ahead early on kind of a weird twenty
- 41:05Speaker 1: two yard touchdown run where there was a fumble right
- 41:09Speaker 1: like it was either during the handoff or the exchange.
- 41:11Speaker 1: It was something really quick, was very early and it
- 41:13Speaker 1: kind of threw everything off and then Shia Webster picked
- 41:17Speaker 1: it up and just and just took off and it
- 41:20Speaker 1: it really worked out well for the Seahawks. Of course,
- 41:23Speaker 1: he spiked the ball in the end zone, so the
- 41:25Speaker 1: you know, they had to you know, that was a
- 41:27Speaker 1: long extra point. It turned into a pass attempt that
- 41:30Speaker 1: failed and and but Anichordis was up six nothing, and
- 41:34Speaker 1: then Lyndon came back and and Max Austin rambled off
- 41:38Speaker 1: a long run. He gets tackled to the two, they
- 41:40Speaker 1: give it to him again. He scores a two yard
- 41:42Speaker 1: touchdown run mount La kai Canan's extra point makes it
- 41:45Speaker 1: seven to six Lindon and and then you're looking around
- 41:49Speaker 1: the game and you're wondering where Danny Bowler is. He
- 41:52Speaker 1: was out the entire game, which is really that's like
- 41:55Speaker 1: the worst game that he can sit out. You know,
- 41:57Speaker 1: he can probably set out the Archbishop because they don't
- 42:00Speaker 1: throw very much, and he's such a weapon on the
- 42:03Speaker 1: perimeter on both sides of the ball. But against Anna Cordis,
- 42:07Speaker 1: you really need a kid like Danny Boehler. But again,
- 42:09Speaker 1: what Blake Vin Dalen has talked about all year is
- 42:12Speaker 1: the depth of his team, and so other guys had
- 42:15Speaker 1: to step up and had to make plays, and that's
- 42:17Speaker 1: pretty much what happened. Anacordus scores again at the end
- 42:20Speaker 1: of the first quarter, they get the two point conversion
- 42:22Speaker 1: to make it fourteen to seven, and you go into
- 42:25Speaker 1: the second quarter and Lindon, it looked like it was
- 42:28Speaker 1: all Linden, but they weren't able to punch the ball
- 42:30Speaker 1: into the end zone. There was a couple of drives
- 42:34Speaker 1: when Ana Chordis got into Linden territory, but they both
- 42:37Speaker 1: ended with interceptions. Malachi Canan intercepted both of those passes,
- 42:41Speaker 1: both in the second quarter. That's the second time of
- 42:44Speaker 1: his career in his career that he's had two interceptions
- 42:46Speaker 1: in one quarter of a game. That's kind of a
- 42:49Speaker 1: weird stat but it's true. It's pretty impressive. They get
- 42:52Speaker 1: down there right before the half. Theyed on a pass
- 42:55Speaker 1: out outside to Max Austin. He gains thirty three yards,
- 42:59Speaker 1: he gets tackled. Yeah, I don't know. It was right
- 43:02Speaker 1: outside the ten yard line or so. They were able
- 43:04Speaker 1: to run the field goal unit out there get a
- 43:07Speaker 1: field goal right before half. Malachai Cane makes a twenty
- 43:09Speaker 1: nine yard field goal. That's his eleventh field goal in
- 43:13Speaker 1: his career. So he's moving up the charts there. I
- 43:16Speaker 1: want to say, the walkin country records like eighteen something
- 43:19Speaker 1: like that, so he's getting pretty close to that, which
- 43:22Speaker 1: happens to be the school record as well. Lyndon's had
- 43:24Speaker 1: some pretty good kickers over the years, and the Courters
- 43:28Speaker 1: led fourteen to ten at the half, so still a
- 43:30Speaker 1: very very close game. The Seahawks are able to score
- 43:34Speaker 1: two short touchdowns in the third quarter, and after one
- 43:39Speaker 1: a kick was blocked, another one they go for two.
- 43:42Speaker 1: They go for two and it does not go up
- 43:44Speaker 1: come through. So at this point it's twenty six to ten,
- 43:48Speaker 1: so it's still a two score game going into the
- 43:51Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and Lyndon started to make some things happen. Unfortunately,
- 43:56Speaker 1: Austin got hurt in the first half, so he missed
- 43:59Speaker 1: the second half. Now you're playing the second half down
- 44:01Speaker 1: two touchdowns to the two time state defending champions, without
- 44:05Speaker 1: Max Oscinc, Without Danny Bowler and that, and they still
- 44:09Speaker 1: were able to score two touchdowns. Unfortunately, after the first one,
- 44:13Speaker 1: which is a great pass from lucas Loology to Brody
- 44:16Speaker 1: Price six yard touchdown, they went for two and it
- 44:20Speaker 1: was it just it just kind of fell apart early.
- 44:23Speaker 1: The snap was a little high, went off, the went
- 44:26Speaker 1: off Canaan's hands. He was lined up in like a wildcat,
- 44:29Speaker 1: like a power wildcat basically, and uh, it was doomed
- 44:33Speaker 1: from the get go. So they had to kick an
- 44:35Speaker 1: extra point after the second touchdown, which was a great
- 44:38Speaker 1: deep pass from Lucas Lology to Sam Morango fifty two
- 44:41Speaker 1: yards that it covered and Malachi Cannan kicked the extra
- 44:44Speaker 1: point there. Congratulations to Sam Morango. He passes one thousand
- 44:48Speaker 1: receiving yards in his career during the game. That was
- 44:51Speaker 1: a little earlier in the game when when he did it,
- 44:54Speaker 1: they were able to they were able to stop Bana
- 44:57Speaker 1: Chordis and to get the ball back and with some
- 45:00Speaker 1: time left, I think it was less than a minute
- 45:01Speaker 1: to go, but they had timeouts, they had you know,
- 45:05Speaker 1: they had a chance and they're down by three and
- 45:07Speaker 1: you got a great, great kicker, but unfortunately the fourth
- 45:12Speaker 1: down play did not work out, and Anna Cordis, you know,
- 45:16Speaker 1: gets the win. And it was a great, great game.
- 45:21Speaker 1: You know, two powerhouse teams. It's a good shots. It's
- 45:25Speaker 1: a good chance they're gonna play each other again in
- 45:27Speaker 1: the playoffs. But Lyndon ran the ball for one hundred
- 45:30Speaker 1: and twelve yards. They threw the ball for two hundred
- 45:32Speaker 1: and nine yards. Max Austin five carries for seventy yards.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Of course he had to leave the game, but right
- 45:39Speaker 1: now in the season he's averaging like eleven something yards
- 45:42Speaker 1: of carry which is unreal. Dawson Van Dalen came in
- 45:45Speaker 1: played pretty well. He had four carries for twenty two yards.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Malachai Kenyan had one carry for ten yards. Lucas Louge
- 45:51Speaker 1: and Gordy Bedlington each had a few carries. They played
- 45:54Speaker 1: Lougie mostly at quarterback instead of Bedlington coming in like
- 45:57Speaker 1: every other series or every third series. I think a
- 46:00Speaker 1: lot of that was due to Bowler being out and
- 46:02Speaker 1: they needed Bedlington as a receiver, which hey, that works too.
- 46:07Speaker 1: Belington caught three passes for fifty eight yards. Sam Morango
- 46:10Speaker 1: leading the way, receiving seven catches for seventy four yards.
- 46:14Speaker 1: That kid is electric. I mean, get the ball to him,
- 46:17Speaker 1: watch him go. Great route runner, great hands and just
- 46:20Speaker 1: a junior, so pretty impressive there. Yeah, Lofa Tigulau three
- 46:25Speaker 1: catches for twenty three yards. Price, like I said earlier,
- 46:29Speaker 1: the two catches for fourteen yards. Brody Price had that touchdown.
- 46:32Speaker 1: Max Austink had that thirty three yard reception. Dawson and
- 46:35Speaker 1: Van Dalen also caught a seven yard pass on the
- 46:37Speaker 1: swing play in the fourth quarter to help him on
- 46:39Speaker 1: those drives. So yeah, defensively, a lot had to be done.
- 46:44Speaker 1: Malachi Canan six tackles, two interceptions leading the way there,
- 46:48Speaker 1: Brody Price eight tackles, a pass broken up lofa Tigelau
- 46:52Speaker 1: seven and a half tackles. Not surprised that the safeties
- 46:55Speaker 1: are involved quite a bit here with that with that Ben,
- 46:58Speaker 1: but don't break defense. I thought Jack's Barr had a
- 47:00Speaker 1: really good game. Five tackles, a tackle for loss. Zachdikstra,
- 47:05Speaker 1: you know, playing a little bit more than usual, probably
- 47:07Speaker 1: at the nose tackle spot, just because going to the
- 47:10Speaker 1: quality of opponent. He had four tackles, one and a
- 47:13Speaker 1: half tackles for lost. Dane Marty had a tackle for
- 47:15Speaker 1: lost five and a half tackles as well, So those
- 47:17Speaker 1: were kind of your main guys on defense. You know,
- 47:21Speaker 1: Linden drops the first game of the year, but they
- 47:25Speaker 1: are and they have a short turnaround, a really short turnaround.
- 47:29Speaker 1: As we talked about earlier with Coach Wood. They're gonna
- 47:32Speaker 1: be on the road on Thursday at Civic Stadium when
- 47:35Speaker 1: they take on Sea Home at seven o'clock. That's gonna
- 47:38Speaker 1: be a whale of a game. I cannot wait for
- 47:40Speaker 1: that one. But you know, right after you play in
- 47:44Speaker 1: a Cordis, you're you got some guys banged up, and
- 47:46Speaker 1: then you got to play on Thursday against Sea Home,
- 47:49Speaker 1: who's red hot. That's about as tough as it can
- 47:52Speaker 1: get for a high school team. But if any team
- 47:54Speaker 1: can handle it, it's Linden. And that's what's so fun.
- 47:57Speaker 1: And that's why I'm really curious to see how this
- 48:00Speaker 1: is gonna how this is going to turn out. I
- 48:02Speaker 1: have a vested interest, let's just say, in this game,
- 48:05Speaker 1: and I'm so glad that walking kind of teams are
- 48:08Speaker 1: starting to play each other. We got the one A's
- 48:09Speaker 1: now playing each other. Those are all county teams. Some
- 48:12Speaker 1: of the two ways are as well. Kicking off with
- 48:15Speaker 1: Lyndon Anacortus against each other. I love it. It's gonna
- 48:18Speaker 1: be It's gonna be fantastic. As they say, let's head
- 48:22Speaker 1: down to Arlington as Squalalkam went down there and took
- 48:26Speaker 1: care of Lake with fifty four to seven. Boy, they
- 48:28Speaker 1: were up twenty eight to nothing after the first quarter.
- 48:31Speaker 1: And what I loved about it, it was four touchdowns
- 48:33Speaker 1: by four different guys. Got like I said in this,
- 48:35Speaker 1: like I wrote in the story, Squalaums shared the sugar
- 48:39Speaker 1: is what they say, and a lot of guys got involved,
- 48:42Speaker 1: which was so much fun to see, and Squal's squallicum.
- 48:46Speaker 1: After that Week one game against Burlington, They've just been
- 48:48Speaker 1: involved in blowouts back and forth, and so it's been
- 48:51Speaker 1: kind of a unique start to the season so far.
- 48:54Speaker 1: But you're seeing a lot of different guys, especially in
- 48:56Speaker 1: this one take care of business. Anton Osby Ornson out
- 48:59Speaker 1: a twenty one yard touchdown pass from Coleburke, and then
- 49:02Speaker 1: Asher Osby Ornson caught a seventy yard pass from Colbert
- 49:06Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Mattick Strickland with the twenty two yard
- 49:09Speaker 1: touchdown run, and Avery Wiener caught a fifteen yard pass
- 49:12Speaker 1: on a swing pass from Coleburke. Those were all touchdowns
- 49:15Speaker 1: in the first quarter. I am impressed with Mattick Strickland,
- 49:19Speaker 1: you know, we saw in the last couple of weeks
- 49:21Speaker 1: coming in the fourth quarter and do some really good
- 49:23Speaker 1: things against backups, and he was. He ended up leading
- 49:26Speaker 1: the team in rushing the last two games because of it.
- 49:29Speaker 1: And I didn't say I didn't see dj Hill out
- 49:31Speaker 1: there at all, So I don't know if he got
- 49:33Speaker 1: hurt in the Archbishop game, but what that did was
- 49:37Speaker 1: that if he did get hurt, it It opened the
- 49:39Speaker 1: door for Mattick Strickland to play in the first quarter
- 49:42Speaker 1: and play meaningful minutes on both sides of the ball.
- 49:45Speaker 1: He played a lot on defense, and I thought that
- 49:47Speaker 1: he was fantastic. He's so quick, and I was actually gonna,
- 49:52Speaker 1: you know, text one of the coaches and be like,
- 49:55Speaker 1: I think this kid needs to play more like he's
- 49:57Speaker 1: I know it's going against some backups late in the game,
- 49:59Speaker 1: but he's at top speed, so fast, and so I was.
- 50:05Speaker 1: I was excited to see him in there in the
- 50:06Speaker 1: first quarter making a difference, running a twenty two yard
- 50:09Speaker 1: touchdown run that was that was awesome to see. Lake
- 50:12Speaker 1: would did put together a drive. They had this They
- 50:15Speaker 1: had this double reverse pass that they they flipped the
- 50:18Speaker 1: field on, which was really good to see for them,
- 50:21Speaker 1: and then they had another deep pass right after that
- 50:23Speaker 1: they got them in the red zone. They scored on
- 50:25Speaker 1: a one yard touchdown run by the quarterback, and then
- 50:28Speaker 1: Squalkum came back and scored two more touchdowns in the
- 50:30Speaker 1: second quarter. Asher Osby Ornson with his second touchdown of
- 50:33Speaker 1: the game, first one on the ground, and then Rehesnolton
- 50:36Speaker 1: caught the little one yard shovel pass from Coleburke to
- 50:39Speaker 1: make it. What would that be that w'd be forty
- 50:43Speaker 1: two to seven at the half, so squaalk him up
- 50:47Speaker 1: big early. And then Coleburke called his own number and
- 50:50Speaker 1: the third quarter ran in one from a yard out,
- 50:53Speaker 1: and then Jacob Trumper had a twelve yard touchdown run
- 50:56Speaker 1: on a on kind of a fly sweep handoff play,
- 51:00Speaker 1: so good for him to get into the end zone.
- 51:02Speaker 1: Elias Larnega eight for eight on extra points. That was
- 51:06Speaker 1: pretty impressive to see. Wait one, two, three, four, five,
- 51:12Speaker 1: six seven eight. Yeah, a for eight? Why am I
- 51:15Speaker 1: looking at the score like it's wrong? I think it
- 51:17Speaker 1: was fifty six to seven and I got fifty four
- 51:19Speaker 1: to seven. That's my bad. I'm up kind of late
- 51:24Speaker 1: writing these. Every once in a while I will make
- 51:26Speaker 1: that change. But yeah, I mean it was. It was
- 51:30Speaker 1: just a really strong win for the Storm. Statistically wise,
- 51:36Speaker 1: it was very even. They they ran the ball twenty
- 51:39Speaker 1: one times, they threw the ball twenty three times. They
- 51:41Speaker 1: ran the ball for two hundred and three yards, they
- 51:43Speaker 1: passed the ball for three hundred two yards, you know,
- 51:45Speaker 1: over five hundred yards of offense, and we're very even
- 51:47Speaker 1: with it on running and passing. Which is great to see.
- 51:50Speaker 1: Asher Asbjornson carried the way eight carries for seventy three
- 51:54Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Matti Strickland fifty three yards on
- 51:56Speaker 1: five carries. Cole Burke eighteen of twenty through the air
- 52:00Speaker 1: for two hundred and ninety four yards and four touchdowns,
- 52:03Speaker 1: probably his best varsity game. Anson Osby Ornson six carries
- 52:07Speaker 1: for eighty nine yards. Reese Nolton had four catches, six catches,
- 52:10Speaker 1: I should say Reese Nolton had four catches. Khalil Benta
- 52:14Speaker 1: three catches for seventy yards. Asher Osby Ornson two catches
- 52:17Speaker 1: for eighty two yards. And yeah, I just had four
- 52:20Speaker 1: different guys that caught touchdown passes. You know, he threw four.
- 52:24Speaker 1: They all went to different players. That's really really good
- 52:27Speaker 1: to see. On the defensive side of the ball, Jacob Clark,
- 52:30Speaker 1: the senior outside linebacker, three and a half tackle, I'm sorry,
- 52:33Speaker 1: two and a half tackles, one and a half sacks,
- 52:35Speaker 1: and a fumble recovery. So kind of Johnny on the
- 52:38Speaker 1: spot doing a lot of good things there. Anson Osby
- 52:41Speaker 1: Ornson had an interception on a really fun play to
- 52:44Speaker 1: see if you if you go see the highlights I
- 52:46Speaker 1: mean it was bounced off the receiver's head and he
- 52:49Speaker 1: caught it right on the sideline and stepped out. And
- 52:52Speaker 1: it was almost gonna be AFSI Play of the Week
- 52:55Speaker 1: nominee for me, just because it made me laugh so much.
- 52:57Speaker 1: It was. It was a good play, a heady play,
- 52:59Speaker 1: if you will, pardon the pun. And and Brock Scammel
- 53:03Speaker 1: I thought played great as a linebacker. He mean, you
- 53:06Speaker 1: get a Scammel in there playing linebacker and he's gonna
- 53:08Speaker 1: mean business. And boy, just so fun to see number
- 53:12Speaker 1: thirty four scambal. It's like, man, it all comes back
- 53:15Speaker 1: to me. What a great player. He also had one
- 53:18Speaker 1: and a half sacks. He's going to be a guy
- 53:20Speaker 1: that is going to be a rock for that defense
- 53:22Speaker 1: for the next few years. And that's really cool to
- 53:24Speaker 1: see a really strong sophomore class for the Squalokum Storm team.
- 53:28Speaker 1: And I tell you what, every time, like they get
- 53:30Speaker 1: one of these classes every few years, and every single
- 53:33Speaker 1: time I see one of those, they end up just
- 53:37Speaker 1: you know, having by the time their seniors a tremendous
- 53:40Speaker 1: year deep running the playoffs. You might see that with
- 53:43Speaker 1: this Squalckum Storm group in a couple of years so
- 53:46Speaker 1: great win fifty six to seven. I'm gonna say, because
- 53:49Speaker 1: I don't know where I came up with fifty four
- 53:51Speaker 1: to seven. I must have been looking at something and
- 53:53Speaker 1: I was really really tired. Let's go on to the
- 53:57Speaker 1: final game. The one game that was on Saturday, Lyndon
- 54:01Speaker 1: Christian defeating Lakeside nine Mile Falls forty five to twenty one.
- 54:06Speaker 1: That game was originally supposed to be played at the
- 54:08Speaker 1: Apple Bowl and WINATCHI at noon. It got moved to
- 54:11Speaker 1: Brewster High School at three pm. I think there was
- 54:15Speaker 1: some the air quality was not great, but you know,
- 54:18Speaker 1: good job on them to make it happen. And I
- 54:22Speaker 1: did get a text from the athletic director of Lyndy Christian,
- 54:24Speaker 1: Brady Bomber, Friday at about I don't know, I was
- 54:28Speaker 1: heading out to the Mount Baker game, so it was
- 54:31Speaker 1: probably around six o'clock to saying hey, can you spread
- 54:34Speaker 1: the word? Absolutely. I got the word out there. It
- 54:37Speaker 1: did get moved, and Lakeside nine Mile Falls actually looked
- 54:42Speaker 1: great early on. I mean they drove down, scored a
- 54:46Speaker 1: touchdown like it was nothing, and then right away the
- 54:48Speaker 1: intercepted he that Maybury drove down, scored again and going
- 54:52Speaker 1: into the game. I know what the score is when
- 54:54Speaker 1: I was watching the game film, and so that was
- 54:58Speaker 1: unique to see that they started like that. And the
- 55:01Speaker 1: one thing, and I'm going to be talking to coach
- 55:04Speaker 1: Turpster about this soon, so on the next podcast on
- 55:06Speaker 1: the Gatorade Game Day podcast, it's gonna come out on Thursday,
- 55:10Speaker 1: you'll probably hear me asking him about this start, because
- 55:13Speaker 1: what has been happening is he's been very happy the
- 55:17Speaker 1: first three games about how they've started and how they've
- 55:20Speaker 1: been so prepared and they get off to these great starts,
- 55:23Speaker 1: and this was the complete opposite. And I think it's
- 55:26Speaker 1: a great coaching moment because it's not always going to
- 55:29Speaker 1: happen like this. You kind of need to get punched
- 55:31Speaker 1: in the mouth every once in a while. So for
- 55:32Speaker 1: that to happen right before conference play might be a
- 55:35Speaker 1: really good thing. And we'll find out what Coach Turpster
- 55:37Speaker 1: says when I talked to him in a few days,
- 55:40Speaker 1: because I believe that was the case. Now. Lakeside was
- 55:42Speaker 1: up fourteen to nothing early, but it was all LC
- 55:45Speaker 1: after that. Eli Maybury hit Boyce Robertson on a five
- 55:48Speaker 1: yard corner route in the corner of the end zone.
- 55:51Speaker 1: That was just a beautiful rainbow pass that only Boyce
- 55:53Speaker 1: Robertson could grab. He does, it's a touchdown. It's his
- 55:57Speaker 1: twentieth touchdown reception in his career that broke a long
- 56:01Speaker 1: standing school record at Lyndon Christian Nineteen was the record
- 56:05Speaker 1: held by a couple of players. Jackson Corkil just graduated,
- 56:08Speaker 1: I don't know, five six years ago, but also nineteen
- 56:12Speaker 1: was also the record that was held from the early
- 56:15Speaker 1: nineties by John Vandergreen, who was a big time six
- 56:18Speaker 1: foot five, two hundred pound receiver that went onto the
- 56:21Speaker 1: University of Washington to play first base. Was a great
- 56:24Speaker 1: baseball player, so very very you know, incredible career for
- 56:31Speaker 1: Boyce Robertson, and he's still going, so he's going to
- 56:34Speaker 1: be there's a few other records that he's eyeing right now,
- 56:36Speaker 1: school records that will be dropping soon once they get
- 56:41Speaker 1: into conference play here and then from there, it was
- 56:44Speaker 1: just kind of the run game. Chris Coyman with three
- 56:47Speaker 1: touchdown runs and a two point conversion run after Elon
- 56:50Speaker 1: Maybury snuck one in from eleven yards on a quarterback keep.
- 56:54Speaker 1: And they've they've found some things on a short yardage
- 56:58Speaker 1: play that Chris Coyman, you know, if it's if it's
- 57:01Speaker 1: a two point conversion, or if it's third and one
- 57:03Speaker 1: or whatever they need to do, or fourth and goal
- 57:06Speaker 1: or second in goal even for that matter. They get
- 57:08Speaker 1: this really big time unbalanced line where they stack all
- 57:12Speaker 1: their alignment on the right side of the center and
- 57:16Speaker 1: they just run that way and they just outplow the
- 57:18Speaker 1: other team. So it's working for them right now. At
- 57:23Speaker 1: least it did against the Eagles. We'll have to see
- 57:25Speaker 1: what they do moving forward, but that's the first time
- 57:28Speaker 1: I've seen them use this with this unbalanced line and
- 57:32Speaker 1: attack from that, and it was effective. Like I said,
- 57:35Speaker 1: Chris Coyman, twenty three carries for one hundred and thirty
- 57:38Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns and the two point conversion. That's
- 57:41Speaker 1: a career high in carries for him, twenty three carries.
- 57:44Speaker 1: So they're really leaning on the big junior running back
- 57:47Speaker 1: and he's responding with some big time runs. Maybury also
- 57:52Speaker 1: had a short pass to Whyatt camp House, who just
- 57:56Speaker 1: you know, kind of scurried around the edge there for
- 57:59Speaker 1: a seventeen yard touchdown. And then one of the coolest
- 58:02Speaker 1: moments late in the game was Jackson June hit a
- 58:05Speaker 1: forty seven yard field goal late in the game, and
- 58:08Speaker 1: I think the most the most excited person on the
- 58:11Speaker 1: field was coach Turpstra. He jumped out on the field
- 58:14Speaker 1: and was so excited for his kicker. And I'm ninety
- 58:19Speaker 1: five percent sure that's a school record for distance for
- 58:22Speaker 1: a field goal. I know that Coach Turpstra contacted coach
- 58:27Speaker 1: k Mink asked if he had anybody kick that far,
- 58:30Speaker 1: came and said no, I'm going to still go back
- 58:32Speaker 1: and look because Clint Bosman had some long field goals
- 58:36Speaker 1: in the in the you know, in the forties, you know,
- 58:39Speaker 1: not in the nineteen forties, but in the in the
- 58:42Speaker 1: forty yard range, you know, forty something yards. I can't
- 58:44Speaker 1: remember exactly how far. I mean, Clint Bosman kicked three
- 58:47Speaker 1: field goals in one quarter once. That was a game
- 58:50Speaker 1: against Elma. So the only two players in Walkin County
- 58:53Speaker 1: history to do that, the other being Kyle Sentkowski in
- 58:56Speaker 1: a twenty sixteen game at Lindon. I was at that
- 58:58Speaker 1: game and those were all around forty yards as well,
- 59:01Speaker 1: but forty seven yards for Lyndon Christians Jackson Yune could
- 59:05Speaker 1: be a school record. Probably is still digging into that one.
- 59:09Speaker 1: Lakeside does get a touchdown late to make it forty
- 59:12Speaker 1: five twenty one. Lindy Christian ran for one hundred and
- 59:15Speaker 1: sixty five yards and threw for one hundred and eighty
- 59:17Speaker 1: eight Pretty balanced there. Ran the ball thirty three times,
- 59:23Speaker 1: pass the ball twenty times, so you know, Meli Maybury.
- 59:27Speaker 1: His numbers were a little down as far as other
- 59:29Speaker 1: games in comparison, but still pretty good. Thirteen of twenty
- 59:32Speaker 1: passing for one hundred and eighty eight yards and the
- 59:35Speaker 1: two touchdowns the one interception Coinman, like I said earlier,
- 59:38Speaker 1: twenty three carries for one hundred and thirty yards. Trey
- 59:40Speaker 1: Johnson had five carries for thirty yards as the big
- 59:44Speaker 1: bowling ball that made his mark between the tackles. Receiving wise,
- 59:49Speaker 1: Wyatt camp House five catches for eighty two yards and
- 59:51Speaker 1: a touchdown, Boyce Robertson three catches for thirty seven yards
- 59:54Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Caden Veldman, who gave us the intro,
- 59:57Speaker 1: two catches for fifty six yards, and Jackson and Houlliot
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: had two catches. Chris Coyman had a reception as well.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: So Linna Christian looking very very good. Four and oh.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: They will begin conference play at home on Friday when
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: they host Blaine, who's one and three on the season,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: at seven o'clock. And the links. You know, they've traveled
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: probably more than any other team so far in Walking
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: County this year, and the rest of their games for
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: the regular season that is, are all in Walking County,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: you know, all the obviously all the conference games those
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: are against those are teams that are in Walking County.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: And then their only other non conference game will be
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: against Seahome, which I you know, I'm trying to remember
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: if that one's going to be at Civic or if
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: it's going to be at LC. I think it's at
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: Civic this year. So so yeah, they'll be staying in
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: the county the rest of the year, so they don't
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: have to worry about getting the bus right, they don't
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: have to worry about getting up at three in the morning,
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: they don't have to you know, all that stuff. It's
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: I think, and they they came out of this crazy
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: beginning of the season four and oh, so yeah, it's
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be a bright year ahead for them.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see when they play Sea home too.
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: Even though it's a non conference game. I just there's
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: gonna be so many athletic players on the field and
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting to kind of see what happens
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: in that. On the defensive side of the ball in
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: that game, there was a lot of guys that really
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: stood out. Gavin Van Lowe, which is his first start
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: at linebacker, just a sophomore, had fifteen and a half tackles,
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: tackle for loss and a pass broken up. Trey Johnson
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: has always big time game on defense. On defense, seven tackles,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: a sack, a half, a tackle for loss. Yeah, I
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: just I just can't say enough about a lot of
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: these guys. You know, Gunnard Coster, he was a safety
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: but comes up and plays the run really well, blitzes
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: a lot, six and a half tackles, two passes broken up,
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: and a sack. Justin Cwick has seven tackles and half
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: a sack. Cayden Veldman five and a half tackles, two
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: more tackles for loss. I believe he leads the county
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: still one pass broken up, and Peter Enfield had five
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: and a half tackles and one and a half sacks.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: So a lot of guys doing some really big things
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: on that defense. They they have depth too, and a
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: lot of one eyed teams do not have depth. So
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: very very exciting to see. And the last game, you know,
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: there's no game to talk about with Meridian versus Forks.
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: Meridian gets the win in that as a forfeit, so
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: they go to four and zero on the season. Their
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: Week five opponent canceled on them too, but they did.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: They did get a game ready. They're going to go
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: down to Kingsway Christian on Friday, so that's so good
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: for them for getting a game. It's apparently no one
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: wants to play the Trojans. But what was really cool
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: was on Saturday they did the field dedication for Bob
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Ames And you know, I've been hearing a lot about that,
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: you know, you read it in the newspaper and they
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: talked about on the radio, and just it's just an
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: It was an amazing thing. I was able to cut
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: some time out of my day to go out there.
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: I wanted to be there in person to see it.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Luckily enough I was. I was standing there with coach
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: kam Ink, longtime lending Christian coach, and coach Leppard from
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: Mount Baker and it was you know, it was it
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: was fun. I mean he had some good one liners,
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: of course, but he spoke from the heart, talked about,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: you know, what it was like when he got there
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: and how he got the job, and it's just a
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: fun story and you can find it and you know,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: all over the place. He just did a great interview
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: with Dan Dan Teeter, the former Lake Would coach, former
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: Lindon Christian football player. You should find that on YouTube.
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: It's an hour long. It's great, just Bob Ames sitting
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: there talking football. I could watch that thing over and
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: over again. But it's so fun just to kind of
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: go back in history and look at what Bob Ames did.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: Who came in in nineteen seventy four, coached for forty
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: six years, won three hundred and thirty three games, coached
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: in exactly five hundred football games. Think about that, he
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: coached in five hundred football games. Incredible. Even had two
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: seasons where they went winless. I mean, nowadays, you have
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: a winless year and it's you know, they're looking for
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: another coach perhaps, and he had one in his second year.
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: Then he had one in like his eighteenth year. It's
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: but he always had things turned around. I think he
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: got to the state semis like ten times, six times,
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: to the state championship game, three state championship wins. His
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine team is the first Walking County team
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: ever to go to have an undefeated state championship team.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: And that team was loaded. And when I say loaded,
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: I say did yeah. Just really cool to be able
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: to be there in person see all these former players.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: Too bad they didn't have a game. It was unfortunate,
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: but I'm glad they have one for Week five. They
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: will be at Kingsway Christian on Friday night. I believe
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: that's like a five o'clock kickoff, so they can get
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: back in a decent hour, so even though it won't
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: be too decent, but decent enough. So those are all
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: the games. Let's look at the players of the week.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Of course, the Offensive Player of the Week is by
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Phoenix Coffee. You could check them out at eleven Belt

- 1:05:12Speaker 1: the Week. And I don't know if I've ever had
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: this many players that are worthy. I mean so many
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: big time numbers this week, but I'm going with Jet Ross,
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: the senior wide receiver out of Mount Baker. Six catches
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: for one hundred and fifty four yards and four touchdowns.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: That's a heck of a stat line. He breaks the
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: school wrecord that was held by so many great players,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: you know, Eric Jacoby, Darren Jacoby, Brett Johnson, Oh Man,
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember Brandon Welch. There was a lot
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: of guys that had three touchdown catches in the game,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: Kyle Kinder and Jesse Copps, but he's the first one
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: to have four, so that was a really really cool deal.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: Did it all in the first half too, So congratulations
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: to Mount Baker senior j Ross. He's your Phoenix Coffee
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Offensive player of the Week. Max Hair Studio in Bellis Fair,

- 1:06:21Speaker 1: of Lynnon Christian, his first varsity star at linebacker does
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: a great job. Fifteen and a half tackles, one tackle
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: for loss, one pass broken up. Really really impressive. He
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: just fearless and uh really fun to see. I mean,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: he's really stepped up. And I you know, I don't
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: know if if Eli Stamps was injured or just couldn't
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: make the trip or something, but Gavin Van Lowe stepped
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: in there and played a whale of a game. And
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: because of that, he's your Max Hair Studio Defensive Player

- 1:07:04Speaker 1: player of the Week. And this was tough too, because
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: you had a lot of guys. You had a couple
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: of guys go eight for eight on extra points, you
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: had some guys go six or six. You had some
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: field goals being kicked the important ones. But I'm going
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: with Jackson June from Lyndon Christian. He had four extra
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: points and the forty seven yard field goal, which we
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: believe is a school record in distance, so I mean
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: a knock. Smith was eight for eight on extra points
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: and he kicked a field goal as well, but he's
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: edged out here by the sophomore Jackson June of Lyndon Christian.
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Like I said, four extra points and a forty seven
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: yard field goal, that one going the distance kind of
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: put him over the edge there. So congratulations to Jackson June,
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: the sophomore from Lyndon Christian. He is your Pet's Real
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: Estate Special Teams Player of the Week and we go
