  Speaker 1: a message and we just kind of get the ball
• 2:26

• 2:29
  Speaker 1: some people like to call. I like to call and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: talk and get to know the person and just kind
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of see where their feelings are at and where they want,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you know, where they want to be showcased, whether it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: on a graphic or a sport or a specific school
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and we can just kind of go from there.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's the best way. A lot of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: big things coming up, especially with the season change. But
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: then there'll be lists coming out, Top one hundred list
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: for football, Top fifty list for volleyball, So there's a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: lot of opportunities out there and it's pretty exciting. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: there's a few people that have spoken for the lists already,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the top fifty list for volleyball, Top one hundred lists
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for football, But nothing's been inked down yet. Nothing There's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: no contract has been signed or no invoice has been
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: sent out yet, so.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: It's probably on me.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying there's things like that available, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to try to do for basketball coming
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: up is a lot what I've been doing for football
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and baseball, where there's the graphics of the top five.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Leader board for statistics.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't I didn't do that last year
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: because I didn't go around and get headshots of all
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the basketball players. I just didn't have time to do it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try to do that this year. That
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: way I can. I can still do that. I did
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do Players of the Week for boys and girls basketball,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: but I want to try to do more. I want
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to try to do stat leaders and weekly stat leaders,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. So a lot of fun times. People
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: get really excited for the graphics. They love the graphics,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they love how many times get shared through social media,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and how many times their eyeball or people's eyeballs get
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: on their logo. And it's a big, big deal and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it's a great way to keep this all moving along.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, we've got seven games to talk about. Three
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: on Thursday, four on Friday combined. That's seven. We've got
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Randy Small's weather forecast. We've got to pick them with
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: our guest picker. Yeah, kind of a funny one. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: then we've got the fantasy where Tyler, you and I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: are once again tied four to four. I believe we
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: were tied at two to two, then you won two,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: so we've got two to two and two. So yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: we're we're getting down to it here. Not many not
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: many weeks left. You better make a move or else
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take it over win like I always do.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Tyler, let's get into it here. Thursday, Mount
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Baker five and three they had across the mountains the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Omac to take on the Pioneers. They are four and four,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: six pm game out there in Omac.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Tyler, Yeah, this one is that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You know, as soon as coach told me that this
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: game could get moved to Thursday, I said, or no,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: as soon as I knew that, like there's all these
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: possibilities and everything going on, I said, are you is
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that game getting moved to Thursday?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I said, yeah, probably, And I said.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: When he headed over and he goes, Sunday night, baby,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna put the weekend o mac.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, of course he likes the kid and stuff.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: So but I mean, it's crazy.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: You know, you play a game on a school night
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that you know, that far away and and it's so
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: weird because this game really doesn't have you know, I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: there's could be seeding stuff involved, but you know, it's
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the other big it's the other one, a game that
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: could cause you know, different things and the reason why
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker's having to play this game on Thursday. So
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but Mount Baker right now is kind of on the upswing.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's that big, big game over Blaine.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: They're feeling pretty good.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's the team from two years ago
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that went to the state title game, but that was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a team that was kind of everybody counted out and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: then they you know, off some big friends when they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: just went on they just went on that run and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they It kind of has that weird feel as far
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: as I mean, it's it's they can't it's not it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: not there. What do I say, Like, Uh, it's all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in your hands now, it's they can't do anything about it,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: right right, But they're playing really well, and if some
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: weird stuff happens, they could be feeling pretty good for
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a little mini playoff game. But the running game is
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: really on point right now. I think that, you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the line is playing better than it's played all season.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I did see Omac back in Week two against Meridian.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I don't recall hardly anything about them. That was a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: forty eight twenty game that Meridian won. Sou Meridian got
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Meridian did beat Mount Baker as well, but
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that was closer. I think that was a twenty seven
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to fourteen game. So you know, I think that I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: think Mount Baker should be able to take care of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: business here. You might see some you know, first quarter
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: bus legs going on, and you just have to get
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: past that. The great thing about Baker is that they're
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: always one of the most you know, well conditioned teams.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, I go out to all the practices
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and I know that, you know, there's different conditioning in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: each days and I only get to see one.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: But boy, it seems like Baker runs a lot like
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: they really push it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And when you have a wrestling coach as a football coach, yeah, uh,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he know, he knows how how important conditioning is. So
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: so yeah, so I I think that Baker is doing
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the right and they're throwing the ball really well right
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: now too. So you're you're you're starting to open that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: up to where if teams are watching film, you know
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna before they even put on the film,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: they're gonna say, well, we got to stop the run.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They do the wing t blah blah blah, and then
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you open and you turn it on. You say, man,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they're throwing two or three touchdown passes a game. So
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we have to look out for this as well. You
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: gotta you gotta be ready for this and that and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and uh, like I said, Mount Baker's kind of trending
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: up right now.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Oh Mac, you know four and four on the season.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: We'll have to see.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: But you know, what kind of competition have they played?
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: It should be it should be an interesting one.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Mal Baker five and three, Omak four and four, six
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: PM at Omak High School. Uh. The other game that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you mentioned Meridian five and three Blaine five. By the way,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I believe four out of the five teams are five
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and three. Yeah. In the one A Northwest Conference. Yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: but and the other one too. Every team is going
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to finish at least five hundred Yeah. I mean that's wild. Anyway,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Meridian five and three, Blaine five and three six pm
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Blaine High School. Tyler lots on the line out there
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: in the border town.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this has got a lot of unique storylines because obviously,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: so here's the deal.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: If Blaine wins this, then there's.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: A three way tie for third place in the Northwest
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Conference one A and three teams are going into the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: round of what they're calling around A twenty four I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: guess for one A. Yeah, so so you have to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: have a third team. So you can't just you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you have to do something about it. So if Blaine
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: wins this, there's gonna have to be something played out
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to where they can figure out who the third team is.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So that's one big thing. There's also the revenge storyline
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: from Meridian. Who they were you know, they were up on.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: This game was a back and forth game last year.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Blaine came back and won it. Matt Hayes kicked a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: game winning field goal with like two seconds left and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Blaine took that one upset Meridian homecoming.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Huge thing.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The game is at Blaine again, so there's and there
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was a lot of players on that Meridian team last
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: year that felt that. So they're gonna have that revenge factor.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Plus they're going to have the feeling of if we
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: win this, we're guaranteed a spot, you know, in the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: round of twenty four, and they can you know, they
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: haven't been in the state playoffs for a little while now,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: so this is something that I want to say. It's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: been since twenty nineteen eighteen, I think twenty Yeah, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: can't remember. It was one of those years. And so
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: it's been a little while. It's been before, since before
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: COVID so and and this is kind of the year
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that Meridian's been looking at to do that. So, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Blaine has gotta they you know, they're gonna have to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: really run the ball and run it really well. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see for Randy Small's weather
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: forecast because I feel like if there's some sort of
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: wind or elements, that could hurt my Meridian a little
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: bit because they rely on throwing a little bit more
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and they could become more one dimensional when Blaine is
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: already built for the run where the weather won't really
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: be a factor for them and they can just run it. Yeah,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be this is gonna be exciting. And
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at it and you go, well,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you look at you know, Mount Baker wiped out Blaine
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: last week and Meridian beat Mount Baker, so this is
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: going to be a blowout. Well, you just never know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's all about matchups. And if you look at
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: those three teams last year, uh, you know, they were all,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you know, really close games. You know, it's just I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: don't know, I think that I think this could be
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a good matchup for Blaine. I mean, we'll just have
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to wait and see. I think Meridian's favored, but you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: just never know. And and uh, you know, it's playing
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: good football, don't fumble stuff like that. Blaine has had
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit of these issues with some fumbles and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and frankly just turning it over on downs on fourth down.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, that's just what it is.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I think these two teams go for it more on
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: fourth down than any other team in Walkin County. The
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: funny thing about Meridian is they will go weeks without
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: punting because they just they they like, they love to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: go for it. They've got all sorts of plays drawn up.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Last week, they were in it till the very end.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: They punted like seven times. I don't I can't recall it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Last time Meridian punning seven times in a game, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it's uh so maybe they're kind of you seeing when
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it when to use it and kind of strategically and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But man, this is going to be
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: an exciting one. I still haven't figured out where I'm
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: going to go. I did hear from Coach Wood and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I believe he's going to go out to Civic Stadium
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Yeah, I know he was going to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: go there just to watch it, but now I think
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: he is going to cover that game.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: He might as well just move in, I know.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And so this is one where there's a lot of playoffs.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of playoff soccer going on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Thursday night and stuff like that. There's a lot of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: things going on. So I don't know where exactly all be,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: but if I go to a football game, I kind
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of feel like I want to go there and be
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: there for the whole thing, and this might be a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: good one to go to. I can't wait. It's it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: going to be a great, great game, and I love that.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: You know, both these teams both struggled last year and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: they've both already gotten five wins this year, so both
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: very highly much much improved and uh yeah, really excited
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: about this one.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Meridian five and three Blatant five and three, six pm
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: at Blade High School. Again Trojans win. They're in Blaine wins.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: We got a little we got a little tie breaker here.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: So ye, lots on the line there, Archbishop Murphy, they
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: are coming to Town six and one to take on
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Sea Home six and two. That's a six pm game
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: out at Civic Stadium. Now, the interesting thing, Tyler, if
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: my math is correct here, Seaholme could actually jump up
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to the three seed with a win here, and Archbishop
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Murphy would fall to the four seed, which would also
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: in turn give Anna Chortus the league title because they
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: did beat Linden. But ye, and that's obviously Anta Courdus
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: and Linden would have to win as well. But yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Archbishop Murphy, Seaholme, Tyler.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just gonna say that other part too,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that if that does happen, then Antacchortus would be the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: outright winner there. So this is gonna be a good one.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: This is this is a game that was already set
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: for Thursday, was not moved. This is a Civic Stadium
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: thing where you got two different teams playing the same weekend,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: so you move one a Thursday, and and how.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: About this this matchup?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is great where you know
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Archbishop who as you and I, we can't find a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: game that they played last week, so they probably you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: have had a bye week. They probably had a bye week.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not posted on stuff. Sometimes when they play
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a Canadian team, it just can't find it. And you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: even on like the WPA sides, like Archbishop doesn't share
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: any of their stuff, so you can't find anything really.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But with that being said, that means their last game
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: would have been that that rainy game out at London
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and that was their only loss of the year. See
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: them right now is playing extremely well, putting up a
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: ton of points. And this is a lot like last
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: week when we looked at Bellingham Marysville Pilchuck. I know
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: it's not the same matchup with star power and stuff
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: like that, but that was a game where I kind
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of looked at it and a lot of people would say, well,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this is a really even matchup. You know, it's really
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: hard to say, but I really wanted to give that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: edge to Bellingham because you play a game on a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: week night that you have to travel pretty far, and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Kind of think, like, that's tough to win that game.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And so I think I think the game will be
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a lot closer than people think, and I think the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Seahome has a pretty darn good shot at it, to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: be honest, just because of the way their offense has
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: been playing. I know Cole Terrell is injured and that's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a huge blow. But when if Nolan writes, just given
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit of time, sometimes if there's some plays
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: where it's a quick pass and you know where he's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: going or he knows where he's going to go with
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the ball, that's gonna be huge. And the running game
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: was just awesome last week. He ran for over two
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: hundred yards last week and that's been great. I mean,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Solo mckellister has really been picking up his game. The
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: move to put Colby Chambers as a change of paceback
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: has been awesome. Love watching him carry the ball. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: mean he's at top speed and the third step and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: he takes he just blown away through guys and Noman
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: writes always a threat to run as well. I believe
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: he's leading the team in rushing. So you got a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: lot of different variables there. Obviously, Andre Watson putting up
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: huge numbers, you know, the all time leader in Walking
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: County history and receptions.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Now he's just two away for touchdowns. That was the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: one where you.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Kind of looked at each other and said, well, that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: one he probably won't catch, but he's only two away
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: out from that one. It seems like every week he's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: catching two or three touchdown passes, really trying to put
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: his stake into that one.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: And I think he's still.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Fifth in yards. So but this, you know, this is
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough because Archbishop Murphy is gonna want to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: pound the ball, and I Fisher Hall played last week,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: so bringing him back is huge. Hudson Nep is great
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: in the run. You know, Seelm's pretty good against the run.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's really going to help them. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: then you just got to be ready for Jack Sievers
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: sneaking out there and and uh and catching longer passes
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and when they only are going to attempt four or
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: five of a game. But he just gotta be ready
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: for when that that that could happen.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I I think this is going to be an awesome game.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad that coach Wood is going to it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And actually gonna cover it because I have a feeling
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a great game, and he's
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: such a great writer. That makes it a lot easier
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: where I could just you know, post his story and
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: put the stats in and say here you go.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be it's gonna be great. I love
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: this matchup.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: No need to pump his tires, Tyler.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, when it's a really close game,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I always feel like I can't do it justice for
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: writing the story, and and you know.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: So I'm as somebody else can write it. That's great.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I don't have to worry about it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Our special Murphy six and one Sea Home six and two,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: six pm Civic Stadium on Thursday. That's it for the
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Thursday games. We got four games here on Friday, starting
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: with a five pm contest down at Shoreline Stadium, Ferndale.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: The Golden Eagles four and four headed down to take
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: on the Shorewood Storm Rays at five and three.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Tyler, the Storm Rays.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they got my name.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know that.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I did see their little logo there, and I was
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: kind of curious what they were, the Storm Rays. You know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you anything about them five and three though,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: but they're ranked pretty low on some of these like
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: col preps and stuff like that. So maybe the the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: opponents have not been up to snow. But the Ferndale
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they're on the upswing too. You know, they're playing a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: lot better. And and I know that this is you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit of travel here, not a ton, but
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I you know, again, you give them a week to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: prepare for that offense, and that's really really tough. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell you anything about Shortwood. I don't know what
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: kind of offense they run. I have not looked at
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: any I can tell you this Tyler week two. Yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: their JV team lost to the bothel Se team freshman
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: coached by yours, truly badly.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: We beat them up. Yeah, okay, we took it to
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: him pretty good. And if they run any of the
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: same stuff that the varsity runs, it was it was
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: under center, it was a triple option.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: It was interesting.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Not very good, I'll say that, but yeah, I mean, honestly,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know much about Shorewood either. That's a it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: a team that traditionally has not been very good. You know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: over the years, they have been the second of the
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: two teams in Shoreline. Shoretcrest is always just kind of
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: seemed to be better, but over the last few years
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: it's been a little bit more Shorewood. Yeah, I mean,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I don't really know what to say because I don't
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: follow them, just gonna be honest, you know, But yeah,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I mean I can tell you this much. Seating only
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: on one side at Shoreline Stadium, so it might even
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: feel like a home game for Ferndale.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ferndale will travel, that's for sure.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, A Friday is interesting though, it is.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It is, but you know, first of a double header
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that they'll play in that in that stadium. Is that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: one of those stadiums that has a doubleheader like almost
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: every Friday.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Or I don't think it's almost every Friday. I think
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: it's it might happen here or there because it's only
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: those two schools, so it's not like they're both home
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: every single week, you know, whereas like take for instance,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: what's the other one that has well, the.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: One that's like Mount Lake Terrace, Yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Edmunds Stadium that's got Mount Lake has it's got Edmonds
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Wood Way, it's got Linn Wood and Meadowdale Meadowdale exactly.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: So you got four schools and so you know, it's
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: the same thing with with POPKINI you know where Bothel plays.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: We you know, we don't like to do double header,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: so we you know, we always find a way to
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: do a one pm Saturday or six pm Saturday something
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, so yeah, five o'clock Friday. I mean it's boom,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Yeah, you know, if you're not able
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to go down there, you know, check it out on
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: NFHS or.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Something like that, and uh, you.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Know, kind of get a head start on that. But
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: this is one where Ferdal needs it. Obviously they kind
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: of play and the and this is that crossover where
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. When you're in the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: round of thirty two losing, you're.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Not, I believe. So yeah, I I I want to
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: say that the way it's been Yeah, I would have
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to look at the West Coast standings to get a
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: better idea. And I can do that really quickly because
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: it's usually well this might so usually what it is
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: is one place too. Let's see where did shore Wood finish. Well,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: let's say shore would finish fourth. So three verses four
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: to three verses four. This might be a loser out. Yeah, So,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I mean I would think it's probably a loser out,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: but honestly, I don't know off the top of my head.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Let's see, uh nope, and they don't have anything here,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: so I'm not really sure. But honestly I would I
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: would think it's a loser.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Right, I would too, especially when you know these two
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: teams are having right five.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Hunds, you know when you when you talk, So the
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: SPSL this year they have seven verse and they're going
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: one versus one, two verses three, two verses three, four
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: verses four. So the ones, the twos, and the threes
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: are automatically getting through. It's just a matter of where
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: do they finish, and then the fours is loser out, gotcha. Yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm not exactly sure how Westco does it, but
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I would think this is a loser out, but honestly
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Yeah. So anyway, Ferndale four and four
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: shore with five and three five pm Shoreline Stadium, Lynden.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: The Lions seven and one headed down to Burlington Edison
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: to take on the Tigers. They are four and four.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: That's a seven pm game. Down there at Roland Kirkby Field.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I was down there a few years ago. Four of
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: this game ended up being a heck of a football game. Tyler.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one ended with a game winning field goal
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: thirty eight thirty five. You were right into the goalpost
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to get that capture that game winning field goal on video.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: This is this is just a great, you know, grudge
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: match that has been going on for decades. You know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: these two teams have had a great, great back and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: forth for years, going back to when Lynden joined the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Northwest League at the time in nineteen ninety three, and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Burlington kind of was the king of the Northwest League
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: throughout much of the seventies and eighties and kind of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: dipped down a little in the nineties. Lynden was the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: new team in the nineties, and then all of a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: sudden in the twenty twenty tens that this was always
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a really really good matchup, did not matter about records.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: It seemed like this one always came down to the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: end and you just never know. And we've talked about
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: playing games at Burlington Edison and kind of how there's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: a mystique there. I don't know why, Why is it
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: always foggy there, like just kind of all those things
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: where and one of those strange things where I've never
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: seen a football game there, in which I know we've
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: talked about before. I don't know why that's happened. It's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: not that far out of Walkin County. I know michaela
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: will be going there. This is a game that she
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: always goes to, especially with her dad, who played football
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: at Burlington, So they always want to try to make
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: one game at Burlington every year. So this is the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: one they're going to cover. And you know, Linnen Lyndon
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: should be you know, pretty well favored in this one.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: But again, if this was like the NFL and they
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: were doing a spread, oh yeah, they're favored by seventeen points,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I would take Burlington. I always think it's
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: going to be close, and and that's just how I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: mean picking against the spread. I'm saying I wouldn't pick
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Burlington outright, but I'm just saying that, like it always
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: seems to be a one score game in this matchup.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: And I remember calling the game in twenty eighteen that
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: was out at Linden where Linden was heavily favored and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: they had to intercept the pass and at the very
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: end of the game just to secure the win. I mean,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: it was a crazy game. I want to say it
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: was like thirteen to seven or something like that. These
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: are just always really good games. And but Linden they
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: got the you know, they they want to keep a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you know, a spot of this a possible or i
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: should say, a likely three way championship. They got to
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: win this one obviously to make that happen. So so
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: they'll have a lot of drive and push for this
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: one to get that win. And and Linden right now
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: is they were really humming last week, so they're coming
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: off a big win and they're looking really good.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: So this should be another another a really great game.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Lynn in seven to one, Burlington, Edison, four and four
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: seven pm. Roland Kirkby Field in Burlington. Tyler really quickly,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I just got a text back about the potential tie
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: breakers if if it happens, it would be Monday at Blaine.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Really yes, Monday at Blaine, And I said, how does
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: that affect the committee? The committee apparently meets on Tuesday,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: so really sure how that's going to work out.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: But interesting, well, I'm shocked at the committee's meeting on Tuesday.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked that they're going to play it at Blaine,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: since Blaine would be one of the teams.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I thought they'd play like at Ferndale.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well, it might just be one of
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: those things that's just easier to do since it's one
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: of the home teams, you know what I mean. And
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: let's face it, you're not playing a full game, so
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: it's not like it really matters.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I suppose.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: But when they did that three way tie breaker before
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they played that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: At Blaine because Blaine wasn't one of the teams. You know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think it. I don't know.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, and I know that I know that there's
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: some stuff going on, like Ferndale's hosting a soccer game
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that Lyndon is playing against Marysville Pilchuck. You know, it's
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: like they're for playoffs, you know, coming up, so you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: who knows if fields are already spoken for for other things.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: But that's interesting, that's really really interesting.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Well, at least they're not going all the way down
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: to Sedro Woolie or whatever it was, remember.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: That, Yeah, for for five plays.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, was it even five? I mean good Now anyway,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Bellingham two and six, they are taking on Smallcum four
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: and four, seven pm. Civic Stadium. This is the third
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: week in a row that we've had Inner City there.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Right, I love it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's a great way to end the season.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It's a really cool deal. You know, people a lot
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: of people were talking about Bellingham see them all year
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and how cool blah blah blah, and the old rivalry.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: You know this this this never really took off as
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: a rivalry, but it should be because think about this.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: The kids, like in my class class of ninety sevenraduated
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: from Bellingham High School and then I think maybe the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: very next one, class of ninety eight after that, if
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you were class of ninety nine, you were going to Bellingham,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you graduated from Squalicum. Every single kid was uprooted and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: moved to Squalicum for a couple of years while they
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: rebuilt the school. And then when Bellingham reopened, they didn't
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think they even had any seniors. It was
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: all underclassmen and they kind of started from there.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It was almost like, yeah, it's like the Cleveland Browns,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you know, It's like the squalgm store of the Baltimore Ravens.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah know, it's like they just took that program and
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: then and then Bellingham is like a brand new expansion
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: team again.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: And wait who and so really quickly, Yeah, did the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Bellingham head coach go over to.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: The they did for basketball? I remember that. I remember
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: it was coach Dixon at basketball. I'm trying to remember
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: for football. No, he he, I believe he retired. It
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: was tim y Yeoman's I believe he was the wrestling
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: coach because Steve Wilson was the first coach for Squalicum,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: which is one of the answers on the Walkham Preps
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: crossword there.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Uh Wilson, I knew.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: It and so but Wilson I don't think was involved
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: with Belling it. But I do know the basketball boys
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: basketball coach was Dave Dixon at Bellingham and when they
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: moved everything, he moved and went.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: To Squalcombe's wild Yeah.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: So, and because it's like all the kids, right, I mean,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: they're all all the same team, and it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Was just going from red to blues, going from the
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: bloods of the Crypts. Well yeah, I was gonna say
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: maybe a little violent, but you know, yeah, maybe more
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: maybe kind of like.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: More like SMU did in the in the early nineties.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I think they went from because they were kind of red,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: white and blue, and then they went all blue, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: then they went all red and they yeah so but yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: so this is kind of could be more of a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: natural rivalry, I think as far as more and more
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: recent now they again they haven't played in six years
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: as well, So uh so that's going to be a
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. Again, a lot of these kids played
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: with each other, you know, and you know Pop Warner
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, growing up and all that stuff, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: so a lot of these kids know each other obviously,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and and so there's a lot of fun stuff there,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you know, kids that transferred from one school to the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: other and all sorts of.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Things like that. So uh so, yeah, this will be
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: a good one.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And squalk them, you know, minus Marcus Nixon last week
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: took it on the chin. It was it was just
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they just it was they just didn't look great. I mean,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of things that even if they
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: would have had Marcus Nixon, I don't know if they
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: could have stopped Sea Home at that time. And Bellingham
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: played the by far their best game of the week
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: or of the year last year. So you start looking
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: at team that's kind of going up and a team
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that's trying to just stay above five hundred and right
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: at five hundred right now, and you never know, you know,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you just really never know. I mean, Bellingham took a
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: seven er lead on Sea Home. Bellingham is they're find
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: they're finding the pieces that they need right now. Plus
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: everyone's coming back from being injured. So get those two
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: things combined with a little bit of encouragement, a little
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: bit of success, and some self belief, and things can
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: start to change a little bit.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: It's really hard to beat Squalicum, though. Coach Lucy coach team.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And this is one where I guarantee you that the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: bellam kids were looking for that Sea Home game. They've
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: been looking for this one as well. You know, you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: go to I went to a Squalicum game earlier in
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the year that was on a Thursday night, and you know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I'm walking up the steps and I'm seeing Bellingham people
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: all over the place. You know, they're watching, they're they're studying.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: You know, they played each other in this summer, you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: for scrimmages and stuff like that. So this is This
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: will be a fun game.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: That's Bellycamp two and six Squalk Them four and four
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: seven pm, Civic Stadium on Friday, the last game of
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the weekend as far as our schedule goes here Niksach
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Valley six the two lived In Christian five and three
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: at Lynden Christian seven pm. I guess we can call
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: this the one A Northwest Conference Championship game, ho Tyler,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: it absolutely is.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, both of three and OO in the conference.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: You know, we kind of alluded to it a podcast
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to go where we talked about how the one A
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: was just kind of jumbled up and anybody could beat anybody.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And now that we're into the final week of it
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: here we are looking at these two teams being the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: top two teams once again, kind of how it was
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: last year as well. So maybe we overthought it, who knows,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: but you know, this is what it's come down to.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Both teams are in now it's about seating and stuff
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: In nuk Sac.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Valley, you know, they tripped up a little bit last
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: week on the road against Monticeano and Lynden Christian was
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you know, they came back from being down twenty two
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: nothing to win on the road at Meridians. So a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: lot of you know, a lot of stuff going on
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: there with with both teams, and there's and this is
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a good natural rivalry as well. I mean, they've played
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: some great games over the years. Recently last year, the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: regular season game came right down to the end, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: then in the playoff game they met again in the quarterfinals,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: it went the other way. So it's gone both ways
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: back and forth. So that's kind of already built in,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: which is nice. The radio will do their big four
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: hour pregame out there at Linden Christian High School. They
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: got a great setting for it because they kind of
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: have like this, you know, this little area behind the
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: stadium that's perfect for when everyone's walking in.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: So it's a great area to set up.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I was out there when they did it there a
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and that that was a lot of fun.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: This is just this is just gonna be an awesome,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: awesome matchup. A lot of sophomores that are playing for
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: squall for Linda Christian right now or you know, you
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: can't you can't really give them that sophomore excuse anymore.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: You know, these guys have been playing a long, long time,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, starting now for a while. So they're
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: feeling like they're varsity kids and they're playing like I mean,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Chris Coyman and Kayden Veldman and you know a lot
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of these guys are just are playing awesome. And you know,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: we'll see about Bosman's health. Trey Bosman, hopefully he can,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: you know, get out there on the field and play again.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I really really feel that if he wouldn't have played
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: against Meridian, they would have lost that game. So kudos
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to him for for being out there and playing hard.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And I even went I went grocery shopping the other night,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I think it was last night after the volleyball game.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Just picked up a few things for Halloween and stuff
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: like that, and and the and the cashier goes, you
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: missed a great one Meridian. Lynn and Christian are Friday night,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, I know. I sent my intern
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: out there. She really wanted to see that game. And
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: but you know, people are people are excited about this
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Lynn and Christian team, and for good reason. I mean
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: they I think they're kind of a year ahead a schedule.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: But a lot of times you could just look at
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: all these athletes, I mean, you go out to practice
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: and you just look and it's just that everyone just
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: looks so athletic, and you just kind of go, yeah,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that's just kind of how Lindy Christian is. Why do
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I doubt myself? Why do I think they're gonna have
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a down year? They've been great, They've been They've been fantastic,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and you know, I've been I've been getting messages and stuff.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Why do you always pick against Lennon Christian? You know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: And it's crazy because I have. I have not picked
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: them to win a conference game this year. I picked
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: against them against Blaine because I felt like Blaine was
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: on a roll. They were, you know, four and oh,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and they were running the ball well, and then Elsie
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: tripped them up. I picked Baker against them because I
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: thought the weather was going to be in their favor,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: and Elsie wins thirteen to seven. I picked Meridian against
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: them because I felt like Meridian had more talent, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Elsie came back and won that game. So they find
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: ways to win these games. And that goes such a
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: long way again in that self confidence and stuff like that.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I just I really really like what they're doing.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: But Nook Sack is. You know, they're loaded. I mean,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: they got a lot of these guys that have been
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: doing this a long time, so and they're gonna come
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: in and they're gonna that conference championship.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: El See got it last year. Elseee beat them for
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: it last year.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Koksack got the last lap when they beat him
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: in the in the quarterfinals. But ELC was the conference
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: champion last year, so you can't take that away. I
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: think nuk Sak really really wants that back, or wants it,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I should say, And we'll just have to wait and
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: see what happens. It's gonna be a great, great game
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: out out at Lyndon Christian. Always an awesome setting. The
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: band is always you know, humming along really really well,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and they really packed the house. It's gonna be it's
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be packed too with Knooksack coming to town and
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, that's one where I might have to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I might have to stop in there for that one.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a great one.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: That is Knuksack Valley six and two, Lennon Christian five
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: and three, seven pm at Lyndon Christian. Uh that is
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: it for the Friday games and the Thursday games. I
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: guess let's now head to Randy Small for a weather forecast.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: You can find them online Wacom County w X dot
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: com or Facebook dot com backslash wat County Weather. Yeah, Randy,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: take it away.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is Randy Small, Wakam County Weather and looking
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: ahead to the scary and spooky forecast for a Thursday
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: night and then of course Friday night. We got most
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: of the games, or the majority of the games are
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: out of the area, but we have a few games
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: in the county and the forecast is pretty similar. Fifty
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: chance of rain for both nights. That's what I would say.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: But I was just looking over some new data just
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: coming in here this morning, and the best model weather
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: model in the world, the European, is showing some rain
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Friday night. So that is, you know, raising the flag
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: in my mind that maybe Friday night could be more
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: on the wet side, but either way, we're kind of
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: holding a fifty percent chance of rain. I would say
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Friday night has more of a chance of rain than
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Thursday night, even though they're both fifty percent.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Go figure.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Temps will be on the cool side in the probably
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: in the forties mid forties, it's going to be a
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: cool night overall, and I guess dryer more on Thursday nights.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: My guess Friday night would be maybe possibly wet. Could
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: both of them be dry or mostly dry? Well that's
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: what fifty percent of showers slash rain means. So who knows.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: But hopefully it isn't too scary of a forecast, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: you have a great time following your favorite team, and
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: we're looking forward to the playoffs.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: All righty, thank you Randy for that forecast. Tyler. He
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: sounded a little fired up, didn't he. I mean he
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: was really humming there.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I love it with his little you know, spooky this, yeah,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: and you know, getting the halloween vibe into it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: My word is usually ghulish. Oh, it's going to be
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: a ghotish game, you know. Yeah, I'm excited.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like, you know, we'll have to wait
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and see about the rain and how it affects things,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and like he said, fifty to fifty chance, so.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: We'll just have to wait and see.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited. I mean, it's football weather, you know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: it's kind of chilly. It's yeah, it's just good, good
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: time of year. Man. Uh, let's head on over to
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: the pick'ems. Let's talk about that for a second here, Tyler,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Joe Consense is in the lead, fifty two and fourteen
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: the guests, and Tyler, you are fifty one and fifteen,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Jeff fifty and sixteen, I'm forty nine and seventeen, Mikaela
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: forty seven and nineteen. Now, Joe Consensus is, I mean
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: kind of picking twice here, Tyler, what's going on here?
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I thought this would be hilarious.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: So Jo Consensus is, you know, ripped off from the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: old Belliam Harold where they would have Jo Consensus was
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the they would have pictures of everybody who's picking, and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: then they had like this cartoon called Jo Consensus and
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: it was the Consensus pick and.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: That's who Joe is.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: And when I when we had to we start doing this,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, five years ago, six years ago, we
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: were looking for who could I get and I asked,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I asked Jim Carberry, who was the editor
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: at the time. I said, hey, can I do this?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I don't think there's any problem with it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: So I did the Jo Consensus and I needed someone
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to be Jo Consensus, and I I needed a face
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: that could look like a Jo consensus face. And I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: have a friend that's an actor that's got a lot
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: of headshots for different poses and different things, and I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: kind of explained it to him and so he sent
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: it to me, and that's the face we've always used. Well,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the person who's that actor is Kevin six, and he's
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: our guest pickers.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: So it'll be two pictures of him that look nothing alike.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: One he'll say Kevin, one will say Joe. And these
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: are his real picks. Now, he's gone to a handful
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: of games with me. He reads the articles, but you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's a.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Different the picture Tyler, do you remember the picture of me?
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Was it Jeff and I think Eric Trent?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was, Yeah, it was us four and then
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: there was a space for the guest picker and then
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: joking senses, Yeah yeah it was.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: It was girl again.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Like I said, he's been to a ton of games.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: He's been He's come to volleyball games with me, he's
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: been to baseball games with me.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: You know, just kind of a lot people probably don't
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: even realize who it is, right.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: You're right, And when I when people come up to me,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I introduced him as Joe Consensus and and they and
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: sometimes they get it, sometimes they don't. But yeah, he's
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: an actor from San Diego. He's not from here, but
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: he's been following things and.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Not originally from here, but he lives here now, right,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: he lives here now.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: He lives in Ferndale now, so he's he's been following
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: kind of how things go. And so I asked him
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: if he'd be the guest picker, and he's like, yeah,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I'd love to do it. And so I gave him
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit of information like win loss records and
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, but uh, yeah.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Has given him team colors and that's it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Well, he did say, he goes, well, I'll only judge
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: who's the more handsome quarterback. That's I was like, he's
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: just because he's just a goofball, you know, yeah, team
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: color is exactly you know, he's gonna say, well, what
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: is a border?
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Well Mount Baker is playing o Mac not exactly a
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: good look in town. But so I don't know what
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: their quarterback looks like.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: But right, he's just you know, he's just a goofball.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: And and uh, but is he had fun making the
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: picks and and Uh, so, I'm happy he could do it.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: I thought it'd be a little funny having him on
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: there twice. And if you're not listening to podcast, you
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even know it was two different people. So or
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sure saying you wouldn't know it's the same person.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I have to say, Tyler. When we did the walkom
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: what was it the Walkham County Football League or whatever
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: it was, Oh, WFL, and we recorded the draft, well
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: it was it was weird because you and I did
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the draft and then we had him announce the picks
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: like a week later, and we recorded it in the
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: living room of your house. Yeah, and having him do
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: that was just so funny because it was, hey, we're
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: going to give you a card to read, right, just
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: like the commissioner, but you know, but yeah, but it
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: was also like very much like you do you you know,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: and like there were some funny things that he did.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: There was even outtakes that was just hilarious and Tonio
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: band like, yeah, just so funny. But he's probably one
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: of the more ridiculous people I've ever been around. Some
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: of some of the stuff and some of the stories
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: you tell me, it's just so funny. But but yeah,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: so here's a.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Guy who he went.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I asked him if he played sports in high school
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and he said, no, I lettered in main stage in
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: ballet because it was a performing arts school.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: And then and.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: So he was like the first ten years out of
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: high school he was like a ballet He really was
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: big in ballet ten fifteen years. Then for ten to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: fifteen years he did trapeze, and then for the next
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: ten fifteen years he did he was all about surfing.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: So these are these but he's always been an actor
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: with all these things, and he's done commercials and little
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: bit parts of stuff like that, and now he does
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of you know, like plays and stuff locally
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: and direct stuff too. So but yeah, it's hilarious. I mean,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden he'll see some trapeze thing and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: like we went to Reno and he was like, yeah,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I've performed here at Circus Circus and we did the trapeze.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's hilarious. He's a he's a goofball.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Now is does he have an IMDb page?
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I would imagine he does.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now that is either you know, the Walkham Preps
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: podcast was on IMDb for some reason at one point.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: It was I remember seeing it at one point.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I know, I was just gonna say I I think
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I think it was.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: But it is funny like that is, I mean, the
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: first guest to ever have an IMDb page. Remember we
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: who was the first one that we had that was
• 43:22

• 43:56
  Speaker 1: He was the only one.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: You know.

• 44:02
  Speaker 1: a right, that's our guy. It's pretty funny there.

• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: With with the with the Yeah, absolutely, let's talk fantasy Tyler.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Four and four is the record I've won two in
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: a row, after you won two in a row, after
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I won two in a row, after you won two
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: in a row. We are in week nine now, and
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: since I won the last one, that means you get
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: first pick Tyler, So go ahead.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I tell you what this.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Is probably and you might agree with me here.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: This might be the.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to put this, the week where
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I don't see any blowouts.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and what it is is you just you
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: kind of don't know about a couple of games. You know,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: we don't know about Omac, we don't know about Shorewood.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: So there's two right there that we just we kind
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: of don't know. Yeah, and then Burlington Edison, you know,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: they've played good football or good enough football. Livedon doesn't
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: typically just run people out of the building, you know,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: And Belliam's been playing a lot better.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, like I just I don't look at
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: this and go oh, that's gonna be a running clock,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: all right, that's this or that's that.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it is a little bit interesting.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, now we're getting again where a lot
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: of these teams are playing each other and and it's
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: kind of survival of the fittest. So I I have
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: first pick, So I'm gonna I'm gonna take I'm gonna
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: take Mount Baker's offensive line. I loved what they did
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: last week, and I think that if they can just
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: kind of keep doing that again. You know, you're getting
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: points on off fence. I mean you're getting points on
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: touchdowns and yards and they you know, they scored that
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: offense scored what was it, seven touchdowns last week and
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: had almost five hundred yards. I mean that is that
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: is doing it against a team that was five and two.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm really excited to see what they can do
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: at Omec.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: I am gonna go, Oh, the guy that had a
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: huge week last week. I think he's gonna do it again.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Talon bung Guard at running back. And
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna go with a unit here that
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: has been playing pretty dang well recently. We yep, I'm
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: gonna take Linden's defense against Burlington Edison.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, those are great picks.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, bung Guard has just been lights out all year,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: and it seems like when there's a must win situation,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: he just plays even harder. This has that must win,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: you know situation built in right there, and and he
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: could really really go off. I think when teams aren't
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: used like I think, if teams don't know him there,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: they they learn fast and then it's kind of scary.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Linnen's defense absolutely has been playing great. It's only has
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: only allowed you know, one touchdown and one field goal
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: in the last two games total, So big big props there,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: and and they've been you know, picking off the ball.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: You know, who knows you might see a defensive touchdown here.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go to quarterback and I'm gonna go
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: with Brent Hepner. I just think that he will do
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it kind of he'll you know, I think he'll run
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than he did last week, even
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: though he did score a rushing touchdown last week. I
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: think that it always seems like the better the competition,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: the more he runs or the more options he gets
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: to run, and he'll take advantage of it, especially when
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: there's teams where they get inside the five and they
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: just kind of keep pushing, pushing, pushing, then they score
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: touchdown with him. So I think that could happen a
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: few times. The passing has been there all year. He's
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: got more yards than anybody in Walking County right now
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and wide receiver wise, That's what I'm looking at next.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: And I really like Voyce Robertson here. I think for
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Linny Christian to stay in this one, they're gonna have
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: to throw a ton. They didn't run extramely.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Well last week.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Uh and by Matt that I mean they totaled nine
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: yards I believe on the ground and Nukxac Valley is
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: pretty durn good at stopping the run.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: So I think Elsie will find.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Ways, uh, you know, very very unique ways to just
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: throw the ball around get guys involved. But there will
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: be looking to Boyce Robertson a lot, so I think
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: he could have a big game.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I am going to take two defensive players here, Tyler
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: all right, And I'm going to go with a guy
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: that really got me a lot of numbers when I
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: picked him earlier this year in Jacob Gandy mm hmm.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna go with the big dog. I'm
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: gonna go with Lacki Foatu, who is playing just unbelievable
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: football at the moment.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah that guy, Uh, boy that's like the one guy
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: would not want to line up against ever.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Do you imagine him and Tyler Frost just like blow
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: for blow.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Oh man, oh, that'd be horrible. Like basket drill, you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: or Oklahoma drill. I should say, yeah, that'd be.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: That would be.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: That would could be some big time collisions head the head.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: That'd be awesome, Oh my goodness. And Gandy, I mean
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Gandy missed the game against Lake Stevens. He was back
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: last week though, which is great to see. And uh,
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: they're putting.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: A little bit more on him offensively, but I don't
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: think it's taken anything away from his defensive game. I think, uh,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's still you know, he's still extremely active
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: and can put up.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: A ton of tackles.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: So those are good picks.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna look at kicker here.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: I love kickers that are playing on turf, So I'm
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: gonna go to Slade Kaiser. I you know, they they
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in him to kick field goals,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: which I just I always love that. I love that
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: you have no doubt when you're you know, whether it's
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: a you know, you're inside the twenty and it's gonna
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: be fourth down, you have no doubt you're going to
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: kick a field goal and setting him out there and
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: feeling supreme confidence. And they have that with Slade Kaiser,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: just a sophomore, and so I'm going to go with
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: him as my kicker, and then I'm going to take
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: the well rested Marcus Nixon. I believe he'll be ready
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: to go and have him at running back this week.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: And I just think that he has that ability where
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: when you look at like I'm not saying he's Barry Sanders,
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: but when you looked at like a score sheet of
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Barry Sanders, his runs they'd be like one zero one
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: minus two eighty one, you know what I mean.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Like that he probably was actually one hundred and thirty
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: because he went sideline the sideline a couple times.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Right, and and it was like then you look at
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: it and you go, oh, he carried the ball twenty
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: three times for one hundred and forty seven yards, and
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: you look at it thinking, oh, he's probably just plugging
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: away five yards of carry blah blah blah. It's like no,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of Marcus Nixon where his runs will
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: be like three one sixty seven two four zero fifty eight.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: And so he just has that ability, that home run,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: And that's what I'm looking for here.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: I need o lion, I need a quarterback, I need
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: a wide receiver and a kicker. So I guess I
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: will go with Malki Canaan a kicker. Yeah, And I'm
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: going to go with a guy who's really coming on lately.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to pick it Joe Harward at receiver. Yeah.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at just the games that
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: he's strictly played receiver in me's averaging like one hundred
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: and fifty yards a game in receiving. So he's and
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: he had a big one last week. Eight catches, one
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty yards, three touchdowns. He's a weapon, man.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: And I and and that's a good call because I
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: think Bellingham, you know, they threw for so many yards
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: last week, and they've really gotten some things down with that.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to rely on that again. And
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Malachi canin I mean, my goodness, fourteen kicking points last week, most.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: Ever in Walkin County history. So that's a good pick
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: out in Marcus.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go with some defensive guys now,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking at a lot of teams that like
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: to run the ball. I mean, Archbishop Murphy likes to
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: run the ball, Burlington likes to run the ball. Nook
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Zac Valley likes to run the ball. Blaine likes to
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: run the ball. So I kind of start thinking about
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: guys like that. But I just have a feeling about
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Dylan Moa.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: With Mount Baker, He's.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Been getting a little less carries than usual on offense,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: but he's been defense has been picking up a little bit,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: so I kind of think that he could have another
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: big game defensively. So I'm gonna pick Dylan Moa from
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker as my front seven, and then in the
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: back seven, I'm gonna go with Landon Downey. He's just
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: a guy that I don't know, I see feel like
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: we do talk about him a lot, but I still
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: feel like he's kind of under the radar, especially as
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: a defensive player, probably because he can do so many
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: different things that I really really love what he does
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: on defense, and it seems like every single week he's
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: right up there leading the team in tackles. You all
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: have a couple tackles for loss, but even the hits
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: he had every week. I mean there's a lot of
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: guys that just hit, like you were talking about, like
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Frost and Lockey, you know, Kolby Martin, Like these guys
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: just they will pop you. But he it's it's a
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: it's a he's as good as a form tackler as
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: he is as a hitter.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: And that's what I love like he does.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes Frost will come up there, but he'll miss,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and he'll be the first one
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: to say it.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: But like Downey never misses. I mean, he is right there.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: He will wrap up form tackle.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: I love watching play kind of old school and that
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: in that way, which I really appreciate.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: All Right, I need offensive line and quarterback, so I'm
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: gonna go I'm gonna kind of double up in a way.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: And I took Talum Bunger at running back. I'm gonna
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: take Ferndale's offensive line, and you took Voice Robertson at receiver.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: So maybe I'll try to cancer you out here a
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: little bit and take Eli Mayberry at quarterback.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good call.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I I really think Maybury is gonna just throw a
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: ton and he's extremely accurate.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: So that's a that's a really good call.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: He definitely has the ability to put up the big,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: big numbers. He has been a little bit prone to interceptions,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: but we don't do negative numbers for interceptions in our fantasy.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: So you know that you got that going for you
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: in Ferndale's offensive line. You know that Ferndale offense right
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: now putting up as many points as they did last week,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: what was it forty nine points?
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: Well forty two. They had a defensive touchdown, but.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Still really really impressive, and the offensive line is really
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: gelling and coming together, which has been great to see.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Last pick. I need a defense, and this.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Is really tough because, like I said, there's no walkovers here.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: But I loved what Ferndale's defense did last week. They
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: had remember when the Giants, like the New York Giants
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: from about ten fifteen years ago, would pay would have
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: that Nascar defense, Yeah, where they put like four defensive
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: ends on the line, and.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: That's I run a NASCAR defensive line on my day
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: nights on occasions. Okay, so we literally call it Nascar. Yeah.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: They did that on Friday for the first time, and
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: when it was like third and long and they put like,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: you know, they had like bung guard on the inside,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: and they bring in like, oh man, who was it.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: They brought in a couple like they bring in Stanic
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: who's like a linebacker, put him in as a defensive end.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: They put Wyatt Broyles who's had a few sacks are
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: near to put him as a defensive end coming off
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: the edge. And then they had yeah, I'm trying to
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: remember who they had on the inside, but one of
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: them was was bung guard. But they're all like, they're
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: all standing up and they all just dip and dive
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: and go different ways. And they got so many sacks
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: out of that, and they got a fumble return, they got,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: you know, sack quarterback fumble return for touchdown. I loved it.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I thought it was awesome. It really worked getting after
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. And if they can get some into the
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: third and long situations again, I believe they'll bring.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: That back out.
• 55:53

  Speaker 1: you know, I'm really excited to kind of see that
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: defense again, and the secondary is starting to kind of
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: come together. Both the you know, the Kennerley twins each
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: have three interceptions on the year. So I you know,
• 56:15
