- 2:06Speaker 2: start doing a bunch of stats. Probably won't even get

- 2:10Speaker 1: I would assume, no, no, I'd be all. You know,
- 2:13Speaker 1: it takes about three hours for each of those last
- 2:14Speaker 1: two games to do, so I'd probably done in around
- 2:18Speaker 1: five and then I gotta start putting together graphics for
- 2:21Speaker 1: players of the week. Yeah, you know, it just kind
- 2:24Speaker 1: of get kind of that stuff, figure out the players

- 2:39Speaker 1: good life.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Yeah. Every buddy James Christensen was was asking me about you.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Oh yeah. He was like, man, he's crazy. I was like, yeah,
- 2:49Speaker 2: he's a little bit nuts. I was like, he's a
- 2:51Speaker 2: little crazy up there. And I sent him some of
- 2:54Speaker 2: the things that talk you know, some of the old
- 2:56Speaker 2: older articles, you know, talking about how you do things
- 3:00Speaker 2: and you know what it is. And he's just like

- 3:26Speaker 2: here though, so we need to give a thank you
- 3:28Speaker 2: to Ali right from lynnon Christian, We're gonna talk volleyball.
- 3:32Speaker 2: She's I mean, is she the best in the county?
- 3:36Speaker 2: Like would you would you say she's the best in
- 3:37Speaker 2: the county, Tyler, she's up there.
- 3:40Speaker 1: She's not just because she's six foot two up there,
- 3:43Speaker 1: but she is.
- 3:44Speaker 2: She's way above us. Yeah, just a junior.
- 3:47Speaker 1: So I think as far as like like colleges are concerned,
- 3:52Speaker 1: I think she's a really unique top prospect up in
- 3:55Speaker 1: this area just just because of the ability, the height,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and still just a junior as well. Obviously the good jeans,
- 4:03Speaker 1: you know, like kind of all those things together. Yeah,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and she was injured last year, so this is her
- 4:09Speaker 1: time to kind of step out and shine and and
- 4:12Speaker 1: really good at the net, both offensively and defensively.
- 4:15Speaker 2: We also need to give a thank you to Kurt

- 6:59Speaker 2: and dive where we will go over the top times
- 7:02Speaker 2: for every event in the county so far. Although Tyler,
- 7:07Speaker 2: there is no dive on here, is there?
- 7:09Speaker 1: There hasn't been enough dives to qualify yet. I think
- 7:13Speaker 1: you have to have, like I don't like eleven dives
- 7:16Speaker 1: or something like that.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Then we've got volleyball, and we've got our players
- 7:22Speaker 2: of the week for girls soccer and then offensive player
- 7:26Speaker 2: of the week and defensive player of the week for volleyball.
- 7:29Speaker 2: So we've got a lot to talk about here, and
- 7:30Speaker 2: we're going to try to hammer it out as quickly
- 7:32Speaker 2: as we can while still doing, you know, a good job.
- 7:35Speaker 2: We don't want to seem like we're just slamming it through,
- 7:38Speaker 2: but we do. Got to kind of hurry up here.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Let's start with cross Country, brought to you by Staffer Insurance.
- 7:44Speaker 2: It is Staffer Insurance's mission to provide personal attention in

- 8:03Speaker 2: there and slap Marty around a little bit nineteen oh
- 8:06Speaker 2: three Front Street and Lynden. Don't slap him, but he
- 8:09Speaker 2: will be in there, well, most likely in there. Possible
- 8:11Speaker 2: me if you do.
- 8:12Speaker 1: If you slap him and you heard him, I think
- 8:13Speaker 1: he's got.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Pretty good insurance, so hey, yeah, and he probably knows
- 8:18Speaker 2: a copper too that can come down and arrest you.
- 8:20Speaker 2: So I do not personally suggest doing that, even though
- 8:24Speaker 2: I just said it a few minutes ago. But if
- 8:26Speaker 2: you walk in there, who knows, maybe he's in a
- 8:28Speaker 2: swimsuit with some flippers. No, that would be you, Tyler. Tyler.
- 8:34Speaker 2: We had four events on Wednesday, eight total races, boys
- 8:37Speaker 2: and girls on both sides. It was a two point
- 8:40Speaker 2: six mile race at Lake Padden and then a five
- 8:42Speaker 2: k at the Deming log Show, one at Lynden High
- 8:45Speaker 2: School and one at Skadget Valley College. So let's talk
- 8:49Speaker 2: about Lake Padden event. First. On the girls side, Seahome
- 8:53Speaker 2: takes home the win, followed by Lynnen, Christian and Ferndale.
- 8:56Speaker 2: So those three teams. Was it just those three or
- 9:00Speaker 2: were there more?
- 9:00Speaker 1: Tyler as far as girls go, Yeah, it was just
- 9:03Speaker 1: those three teams. And I showed up for this event really,
- 9:06Speaker 1: so you were out there? I mean, how about that, Like,
- 9:09Speaker 1: look at the guy. The guy is out there going
- 9:11Speaker 1: to all of these events.
- 9:12Speaker 2: People. Let's get some sponsorships for this young man. Young man.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Yeah that's yeah, Yeah that works. I'm just trying to
- 9:19Speaker 2: be nice. What can I say here, Tyler? Who individually?
- 9:22Speaker 2: Who who did some damage there? On the girl's side, Well.
- 9:25Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a surprise here because
- 9:27Speaker 1: Sea Home is so dominant, but it was. The winner
- 9:30Speaker 1: was Katie Manley of Ferndale and she took first place.
- 9:34Speaker 1: But like the next nine runners were all Sea Home runners.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Sidney Harry, Abby Rusk, Lildesler, Samantha Nip It's kind of
- 9:40Speaker 1: the same names you're used to seeing, but it was.
- 9:44Speaker 1: It was pretty cool to see because I've I've gone
- 9:47Speaker 1: around that like multiple times just in the last couple months.
- 9:51Speaker 1: You know, if I want to go for a nice
- 9:53Speaker 1: walk or something like that, that's where I always go.
- 9:55Speaker 1: I've done that lap around that lake probably one hundred
- 9:58Speaker 1: times in my life. So it's amazing to see some
- 10:01Speaker 1: of the times that they put in because it takes
- 10:04Speaker 1: me a long time to walk all the way around it,
- 10:06Speaker 1: about about forty five minutes, fifty minutes or something like that,
- 10:09Speaker 1: and they're doing it in sixteen.
- 10:11Speaker 2: But yeah, so.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Congratulations as a Katie Manley of Ferndale took first, and
- 10:16Speaker 1: then a bunch of Sea Home runners after that.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Tyler, I'm not even sure where Lake Padden is, but
- 10:21Speaker 2: I do know that I have seen the like the
- 10:25Speaker 2: exit for like the Lake Padden something, you know what
- 10:28Speaker 2: I mean?
- 10:28Speaker 1: Or yeah, it's kit it's kind of close to Seahome
- 10:30Speaker 1: High School a little bit, gotcha. Yeah, southern Southern Bellian.
- 10:34Speaker 2: And you know what's even more impressive, Tyler, you take
- 10:36Speaker 2: three steps for every one of theirs on the boys side.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Seahome also gets the win there, follow by Lynn and Christian,
- 10:43Speaker 2: followed by Ferndale, and Blaine. Who are some of the
- 10:46Speaker 2: boys that we need to know about, Tyler, this is
- 10:48Speaker 2: really unique.
- 10:49Speaker 1: It's the exact same situation where Nicholas LuSE of Lynn
- 10:52Speaker 1: and Christian took first place, followed by a ton of
- 10:55Speaker 1: Sea Home runners Nick Gargano, Sebastian Vaheed Heath, Terry Carter
- 10:59Speaker 1: mccaff uh. It's it was almost identical to how the
- 11:03Speaker 1: girls race happened. But that that tells you something. When
- 11:06Speaker 1: you have a bunch of top runners, that's how you
- 11:09Speaker 1: win as a team. And so both those teams, uh,
- 11:11Speaker 1: boys and girls for the Mariners defending state champions looking
- 11:14Speaker 1: to do it again, and they're off to a great start.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Uh Now, Tyler, I'm looking at Lake Padden on Google Maps.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I see a Lake Padden boat launch. Are we sure
- 11:22Speaker 2: nobody jumped in a boat and like took it across
- 11:24Speaker 2: really quickly? I mean, for the fact that nobody from
- 11:28Speaker 2: Sea Home won, either of the boys or the girls,
- 11:30Speaker 2: it makes me think there might have been a little
- 11:31Speaker 2: something going on there.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Eh, you never know, but that would have been a
- 11:35Speaker 1: great I should have been running behind them taking pictures
- 11:37Speaker 1: and then hopped in the boat and then cut them
- 11:39Speaker 1: off at the pass.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Oh, that'd have been awesome. You know what you should
- 11:42Speaker 2: have done. You should have gotten the boat and like
- 11:43Speaker 2: got one of those bullhorns like the like the you know,
- 11:46Speaker 2: like the the person does on the in rowing. Yeah,
- 11:49Speaker 2: you know, and then just like drive around like yell
- 11:51Speaker 2: at them faster, Sea home, faster, like all right, Deming
- 11:58Speaker 2: log show a five k out there, now, Tyler. They
- 12:01Speaker 2: didn't have to run with like a like a saw
- 12:04Speaker 2: or anything, did they They knew this was coming? No,
- 12:07Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so. I'm really curious with
- 12:09Speaker 2: how the track was was set up.
- 12:11Speaker 1: It's a big area and that's another place that I
- 12:14Speaker 1: grew up and went to a ton growing up. You know,
- 12:17Speaker 1: so many times, so many Little league baseball games there.
- 12:20Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, they didn't have to run with this saw,
- 12:23Speaker 1: but there's a lot of open area there.
- 12:25Speaker 2: I'm really curious how the track layout was now the
- 12:27Speaker 2: host high school, I assume yep, okay, you just never know.
- 12:32Speaker 2: I mean this, I get it as Deming, but uh yeah, anyway,
- 12:36Speaker 2: Tyler on the girls side, Sedro Woolley gets the win,
- 12:39Speaker 2: followed by Mount By, Mount Baker and Knooksack Valley as
- 12:43Speaker 2: far as Walkham County, goes Tyler. Who are some of
- 12:44Speaker 2: the runners we need to know about there?
- 12:46Speaker 1: Yeah, Hazel Grout of Mount Baker took third place, and
- 12:49Speaker 1: Zoe Furtado of Nuksack Valley took fourth. I don't think
- 12:52Speaker 1: either team had enough runners to like clear an actual
- 12:57Speaker 1: like point, you know, as far as like points for
- 13:00Speaker 1: a team, and so maybe they'll add runners to, you know,
- 13:03Speaker 1: as they go on, and you know, it'll be a
- 13:06Speaker 1: little different situation once you get to postseason when you're
- 13:08Speaker 1: just trying to you know, place stuff like that.
- 13:11Speaker 2: On the boys side, same thing, Sedro Woolley, followed by
- 13:13Speaker 2: Mount Baker and Nooksack Valley. What about the boys, Yeah,
- 13:17Speaker 2: Baker did pretty good here.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Palmer Detta took second place from Mount Baker, Cameron Scott
- 13:21Speaker 1: of Mount Baker took fifth place, and Wyatt Freeman of
- 13:24Speaker 1: Mount Baker took eighth place. We remember Cameron Scott was
- 13:27Speaker 1: the guy that you know was running the thirty two
- 13:29Speaker 1: hundred and track last year and said, hey, walking preps
- 13:32Speaker 1: as he was running the race. And Wyatt Freeman is
- 13:35Speaker 1: one of the top wrestlers in the state. And so
- 13:37Speaker 1: a few names that we know here from Mount Baker. Wow, Wait,
- 13:41Speaker 1: one of the top wrestlers at what way class. Boy,
- 13:44Speaker 1: he's in the middle somewhere, probably like one fifty something
- 13:46Speaker 1: like that. Absolutely, and that I remember that a ton.
- 13:51Speaker 1: When I was in school, Mount Baker cross country was huge,
- 13:55Speaker 1: and it was the girl's side was really good. We
- 13:57Speaker 1: had a state champion and Katie park And who was
- 14:01Speaker 1: in my graduating class and then and at the same time,
- 14:04Speaker 1: but almost the boys team were all wrestlers just getting
- 14:08Speaker 1: ready to you know, for building up there endurance for
- 14:10Speaker 1: wrestling season coming up. So that was that was that
- 14:13Speaker 1: happened a lot.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Yeah. I wasn't trying to do that in high school.
- 14:17Speaker 1: No, No, you build up endurance with these you know,
- 14:19Speaker 1: five second bursts on the offensive line.
- 14:21Speaker 2: It's a little different. Yeah, yeah, and then I just
- 14:23Speaker 2: have to hope my match doesn't go more than about
- 14:25Speaker 2: thirty seconds. Tyler Over at Linden High School, there are
- 14:29Speaker 2: some teams out there. I don't know what the course
- 14:31Speaker 2: looked like, but I just assumed they were running circles
- 14:33Speaker 2: around women who on the girls side. Squalicum wins, Meridian
- 14:40Speaker 2: and Linden follow it up. What do we need to
- 14:42Speaker 2: know there?
- 14:43Speaker 1: This was a really tight, you know race as far
- 14:45Speaker 1: as just those those three schools go. And the funny
- 14:49Speaker 1: thing is if you look at the individuals, it's Flip
- 14:51Speaker 1: Sloan Dixon, who we've mentioned multiple times. She took first
- 14:54Speaker 1: place from Lynden. Logan Ignacio from Meridian took second, Sandra
- 14:58Speaker 1: Voit from Squalum took third. And you know, the overall
- 15:01Speaker 1: points was very very close between these three schools and
- 15:05Speaker 1: a really tightly contested race.
- 15:08Speaker 2: On the boys side, Squalicum went absolutely nuts. They had
- 15:12Speaker 2: the top eight finishers. They win obviously, followed by Lyndon
- 15:17Speaker 2: and Meridian. Yeah, Squalicam boys look look really tough.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Taylor Rush took first place, Ty Hoffman second, Jonathan Piper third.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Like you said, they took the top eight.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Reuben Taveldi, the sophomore from Meridian took ninth place as
- 15:31Speaker 1: the top Trojan finisher, and Peter Taminga of Linden took
- 15:34Speaker 1: tenth place.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Down at Skadget Valley. On the girls side, Bellingham comes
- 15:38Speaker 2: away with the win, followed by Mount Vernon, Mount Vernon
- 15:41Speaker 2: Christian and Lakewood Tyler. What do we need to know there?
- 15:45Speaker 1: Yeah, the girl's side, Norah Alexander of Bellingham took fourth.
- 15:48Speaker 2: And then they all.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Bellingham also had the fifth and sixth place finishers, with
- 15:51Speaker 1: Sonia Clee and Leah Wagner.
- 15:54Speaker 2: On the boy's side, Bellingham also gets the win there
- 15:57Speaker 2: this time, followed by Lakewood, Mount Vernon and Mount Vernon.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Christian Yeah, Berkeley Pass took first place for Bellingham. One
- 16:04Speaker 2: of my favorite names here, Baines Matchinski took fifth place
- 16:08Speaker 2: from Bellingham and Gavin May seventh place, also from Bellingham.
- 16:12Speaker 2: To read more about these events CFO list, be sure

- 16:22Speaker 2: move on and talk about boys tennis. You've got the
- 16:25Speaker 2: standings right here in front of well, you've got them
- 16:28Speaker 2: on a sheet in front of me. Bellingham and Seahome
- 16:30Speaker 2: both went three and oh this week they do remain
- 16:33Speaker 2: undefeated on the young season. We need to see when
- 16:35Speaker 2: when are those two teams going to be playing here, Tyler,
- 16:37Speaker 2: I'll look that one up. Well, you give me a
- 16:39Speaker 2: little more info here, But squal Cum just one match
- 16:42Speaker 2: on the week, which they did get a win over
- 16:44Speaker 2: Seadrow what else do we need to know about boys tennis?
- 16:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean those I mean undefeated in the city
- 16:50Speaker 1: schools when you count all three of them together. Lyndon
- 16:53Speaker 1: looked pretty good defeating Lakewood five to two, defeating Ferndale
- 16:56Speaker 1: five to two. They did lose to Burlington Edison sixth
- 17:00Speaker 1: to one. Burlington Edison is definitely one of the better squads.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Ferndale had had a rough go. They had four matches
- 17:06Speaker 1: this week, which is just insane. Yeah, I think it
- 17:09Speaker 1: was Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. It might have been Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I think the Friday one got pushed out to Saturday
- 17:17Speaker 1: and and and lost all of them. They of course,
- 17:20Speaker 1: they lost their top singles player to football, when Zach
- 17:23Speaker 1: Nielsen went back over to football, so everybody has to
- 17:26Speaker 1: bump up one and and uh and do do what
- 17:28Speaker 1: they can. But uh but yeah, those those Bellingham Sea
- 17:31Speaker 1: Home and Squalk them all look pretty good.
- 17:34Speaker 2: And I'm looking here, it looks like they play Wednesday,
- 17:36Speaker 2: October second, Tyler at four thirty. Yeah, Yeah, I.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Was gonna say I think it's I was gonna say
- 17:40Speaker 1: it's early October on a Wednesday.
- 17:43Speaker 2: It's perfect.
- 17:43Speaker 1: That's I'm definitely gonna be there. There's some big time
- 17:46Speaker 1: singles matches and I don't know how the coaches are
- 17:48Speaker 1: gonna line them up, but I would imagine Jacob Kun
- 17:51Speaker 1: against Harley Kaiser is going to be unbelievable.
- 17:55Speaker 2: You know.
- 17:55Speaker 1: It's Leo Kun against Zachary Chai is gonna be unbelievable
- 17:59Speaker 1: that one.
- 18:00Speaker 2: The thing is, though.
- 18:02Speaker 1: You know, Bellingham might have the slight advantage advantage in
- 18:05Speaker 1: the doubles, but I could be wrong. I mean maybe
- 18:08Speaker 1: I've just seen them more. It's it's gonna be awesome.
- 18:10Speaker 1: It's gonna come right down to the wire.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Crazy thing is these two teams, they've played thirty They've
- 18:16Speaker 2: had thirty five courts in those five games or five matches,
- 18:19Speaker 2: and Bellingham's won thirty three and lost to see home
- 18:23Speaker 2: one thirty two and lost three. I mean, it doesn't
- 18:27Speaker 2: get much closer than that. I mean, that's gonna be
- 18:29Speaker 2: fun one to talk about on this podcast in about
- 18:32Speaker 2: what two weeks. So let's see girl soccer Tyler. That
- 18:36Speaker 2: is boys tennis, which, by the way, no sponsor, get
- 18:39Speaker 2: on it, somebody. Uh. Girl soccer, on the other hand,
- 18:43Speaker 2: does have a sponsor and it's one of the best
- 18:45Speaker 2: sponsors we got here, Tyler. North County Alliance FC. You
- 18:48Speaker 2: can find them online at ncalliancefc dot com. It's the fall,
- 18:54Speaker 2: so we're waiting for for tryouts again next spring, but
- 18:58Speaker 2: they've got all kinds of stuff going on over there,
- 18:59Speaker 2: so be sure to visit their website as far as
- 19:03Speaker 2: standings go, Tyler, everybody's gotten a few matches in by
- 19:06Speaker 2: this point. Let's just kind of do a quick run
- 19:08Speaker 2: through of the teams here and we'll start here with Meridian,
- 19:12Speaker 2: Knuksack Valley and Mount Baker. Meridian one three and one
- 19:15Speaker 2: on the year, Nuksack Valley one and four and Mount
- 19:18Speaker 2: Baker three and one.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Yeah, Kniksack Valley got their first win of the season
- 19:23Speaker 1: this week against Lakewood. It beat him three to one.
- 19:26Speaker 1: They had a rough one later against Lyndon where it
- 19:28Speaker 1: was two zero at the half and they couldn't complete
- 19:31Speaker 1: the game because of injuries, and I knew their roster
- 19:33Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of players on it as it was,
- 19:36Speaker 1: so they were able to play again later on. I
- 19:39Speaker 1: think they played on Saturday. They lost a Granite Falls,
- 19:42Speaker 1: so they were able to actually get another game. And
- 19:44Speaker 1: it's not like they have to cancel the season, but
- 19:46Speaker 1: there is some talent on that team. Elena Dykstra is
- 19:48Speaker 1: just just a great, great athlete. We saw her win
- 19:51Speaker 1: a state title on the basketball court. She's a catcher
- 19:54Speaker 1: on the on the fast pitch team. She's a great,
- 19:56Speaker 1: great soccer player and also the niece of Michael Canaan,
- 20:00Speaker 1: So you can understand why the soccer works there. Uh
- 20:03Speaker 1: And also and Meridian Mount Baker played each other and
- 20:06Speaker 1: it was a scoreless tie. So so that's where the
- 20:10Speaker 1: tie came through, and that was a That's a great
- 20:12Speaker 1: achievement for Mount Baker because Meridian is pretty darn good.
- 20:15Speaker 1: A couple of youngsters in goal there are for Meridian.
- 20:18Speaker 1: I think it was a freshman goalie there. I think
- 20:22Speaker 1: the starter is injured and so a freshman goalie came
- 20:24Speaker 1: in and didn't allow a goal against Mount Mount Baker.
- 20:28Speaker 2: Now, Tyler, when we talk about soccer and we talk
- 20:31Speaker 2: about like, oh three nil mhm, is Mount Baker's record
- 20:35Speaker 2: technically nil three and one? Or do they go or
- 20:39Speaker 2: do they go? Oh? You know what I mean? Like
- 20:42Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about that because I don't know.
- 20:44Speaker 1: The actual answer, you know, I don't know either.
- 20:46Speaker 2: I would assume you're not saying the record is nil
- 20:49Speaker 2: three and one that I think as much as as
- 20:52Speaker 2: I don't like the term nil, right, that sounds really
- 20:55Speaker 2: bad on that end. But but honestly, again we you
- 20:59Speaker 2: and I were dumb. We don't know Lennon Christian two
- 21:03Speaker 2: and two Blaine two and three. Tyler tell me about
- 21:04Speaker 2: those two teams, Well, they're kind.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Of you know, they played each other this week too,
- 21:08Speaker 1: and Elsie got them four zero, and I was shocked.
- 21:11Speaker 1: I thought it'd be a little closer game. I think
- 21:13Speaker 1: Blaine's goalie got hurt at halftime, backup came in, allowed
- 21:17Speaker 1: some goals and that that's.
- 21:18Speaker 2: A tough one.
- 21:19Speaker 1: But these are two teams that you know are kind
- 21:21Speaker 1: of right in it with with the one a's and
- 21:23Speaker 1: and you knew you would think one of these teams
- 21:26Speaker 1: will be kind of the main representative going into the
- 21:28Speaker 1: postseason for the one a's.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Ferndale three one and one, Sea Home three and one,
- 21:34Speaker 2: Squalicum three and one. So a couple of three and
- 21:36Speaker 2: one's here and then another one that has a tie
- 21:38Speaker 2: also onto it. Tyler tell me about Ferndale, Seehome and Squalicum.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Yeah, Ferndale had a scoreless tie on Friday night against
- 21:44Speaker 1: Sedro Woolley. But they've been they've been doing a lot better.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I mean, they they struggled in their first match of
- 21:51Speaker 1: the year and then they've they've done really well ever
- 21:53Speaker 1: since Sea Home. They lost their first match and it
- 21:58Speaker 1: was a close one to Bellingham one, one zero, and
- 22:00Speaker 1: that's you know, that was so far kind of the
- 22:03Speaker 1: match of the year that we've that we've seen. I
- 22:06Speaker 1: was out there for that one, uh, and that was
- 22:09Speaker 1: kind of the one that a lot of people they
- 22:10Speaker 1: were like, this is the two best teams in the state,
- 22:12Speaker 1: you know, this is this is huge. Uh and Squalicum
- 22:14Speaker 1: three and one with a lot of freshmen. Uh, Siri
- 22:18Speaker 1: Siri Hoglin and the freshman she's scoring a ton of
- 22:21Speaker 1: goals and and they have a freshman in goal in
- 22:26Speaker 1: uh Kaylanie Perez.
- 22:28Speaker 2: You go, oh Perez Squalicum.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, she's just a freshman Mike Mike Perez's daughter,
- 22:34Speaker 1: and uh she I can't wait. I mean, she's doing
- 22:36Speaker 1: great things on the soccer field right now or the.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Pitch, and that's a I almost can't wait.
- 22:43Speaker 1: I can't wait till basketball season to see what she does.
- 22:45Speaker 1: So but so yeah, so Squalicum is very young, a
- 22:49Speaker 1: lot of underclassmen, but three and one so far, with
- 22:51Speaker 1: their only loss coming to London at London and that
- 22:54Speaker 1: was a five to three game.
- 22:55Speaker 2: So uh so they're looking to do some big things
- 22:58Speaker 2: as well. I was curious too, does Tyler have knowledge
- 23:03Speaker 2: that it's a pitch and not a field or is
- 23:06Speaker 2: his knowledge nil on that subject? Ah, I see what
- 23:09Speaker 2: you did there, Tyler. Two teams are undefeated Bellingham four
- 23:12Speaker 2: and oho, Linden five and zero. Yeah.
- 23:15Speaker 1: These are two, I mean just really strong. Like I
- 23:18Speaker 1: think Linden is just super strong offensively. I think Bellingham
- 23:21Speaker 1: is super strong defensively. So that's gonna be a great
- 23:24Speaker 1: matchup when that happens. Lindon it just seems like they
- 23:27Speaker 1: just come out and they always score really quickly and
- 23:30Speaker 1: then they just play their game after that, like they
- 23:32Speaker 1: kind of get going and then they can just kind
- 23:34Speaker 1: of settle in and work on stuff and they play
- 23:38Speaker 1: with the lead really well. Bellingham they haven't allowed a
- 23:41Speaker 1: goal all season, wow, which is just incredible, and they've
- 23:45Speaker 1: played some pretty tough games. So that's that says a
- 23:50Speaker 1: lot too about that squad and they.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Are dialed in right now.
- 23:54Speaker 1: And I know they did pretty well last year and
- 23:56Speaker 1: they returned a lot of players this year so and
- 23:58Speaker 1: they have a freshman in goals, so it's pretty it's
- 24:01Speaker 1: pretty crazy. Pellingham is legit. That Pelly Mco match was awesome.
- 24:07Speaker 1: When Bellingham and Lindon plays, that's gonna be a lot
- 24:10Speaker 1: of fun as well.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Let's talk about the goal leaders, Tyler. I see here
- 24:15Speaker 2: you got a top eight basically, and what it is
- 24:18Speaker 2: is you got a lot of players with two goals,
- 24:20Speaker 2: and then we've got seven with three or more. So
- 24:24Speaker 2: why don't you go ahead and give us the names
- 24:25Speaker 2: of the top seven. Yeah.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Evelyn Saladovar, she's got ten on the year so far,
- 24:33Speaker 1: so she's averaging two goals a game. And she she's
- 24:37Speaker 1: the one that usually goes in there and scores right away,
- 24:39Speaker 1: Like she'll score in the first three minutes almost every
- 24:41Speaker 1: single game.
- 24:42Speaker 2: It's like me playing FIFA on easy mode.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just and it's just it kind of
- 24:48Speaker 1: it always sets the tone. And then you see so
- 24:51Speaker 1: many defenders on her, it's it's crazy. And she just
- 24:53Speaker 1: she just dribbling around with a big smile on her
- 24:55Speaker 1: face and gets her teammates involved after she scores her goal,
- 24:58Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a lot of fun to see.
- 25:02Speaker 1: I mean, she's she's so dominant. Hannah Woslan from Ferdale
- 25:08Speaker 1: as she had like I think she had three games
- 25:11Speaker 1: in a row where she scored two goals and so
- 25:14Speaker 1: she's shooting up the chart here. Ferdale has been, you know,
- 25:17Speaker 1: just been getting better as the season has been going along.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Siri Hogman has five goals, just a freshman a Squalicum.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Uh that you know, she she had a couple of
- 25:27Speaker 1: games where she had a couple of goals.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Uh.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Then there's the trio from Bellingham. Elamorrow, Ivy Nowle and
- 25:33Speaker 1: Beckett Ferry all have three goals each and they when
- 25:37Speaker 1: they are they and they all play on the front
- 25:39Speaker 1: line together and it's pretty incredible. We've talked about Elamorrow
- 25:43Speaker 1: about tennis. She's a she's a state champion with in
- 25:47Speaker 1: tennis doubles. So I and for some reason I thought
- 25:50Speaker 1: she had graduated and now she's out here doing things
- 25:53Speaker 1: in the soccer pitch and uh, and it's just really
- 25:56Speaker 1: impressive to see. And then also Kylie Ivesvek from Sea
- 26:00Speaker 1: Home also has three goals. She's she's very athletic, very tall,
- 26:04Speaker 1: gets a lot of power on her shot. So there's
- 26:07Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of big time players here.
- 26:11Speaker 2: That is girl soccer, brought to you by North County
- 26:13Speaker 2: Alliance FC again find them online NCALLIANCEFC dot com. Tyler,
- 26:18Speaker 2: let's talk girls, swim and dive. And what we'll do
- 26:21Speaker 2: here is we will go through one, two, three, four, five, six,
- 26:25Speaker 2: seventy nine, ten, eleven I think, yeah, yeah, eleven different
- 26:30Speaker 2: races and you can give us the times and who
- 26:34Speaker 2: it is that has that time. So we will start
- 26:37Speaker 2: with the two hundred medley relay Tyler. Yeah, so this is.
- 26:41Speaker 1: The relay team of Addie Hayes, Peyton Accord, Grace Sorenson
- 26:45Speaker 1: and June Wilson out of Bellingham. Two minutes and two
- 26:48Speaker 1: point sixty three seconds. Bellingham has just been dominating so
- 26:53Speaker 1: far this year, and that's to nobody's surprise.
- 26:55Speaker 2: How about the two hundred freestyle, Yeah.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Grace Sorenson from Bellingham two minutes and three seconds, which
- 27:02Speaker 1: is crazy because if you think about that, she could
- 27:04Speaker 1: do it on her own almost as fast as her
- 27:07Speaker 1: relay team could do it with all the different you know,
- 27:11Speaker 1: the different swim styles. There's a word for that, but
- 27:15Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, she's unbelievably fast freestyle.
- 27:19Speaker 2: Like you're talking like the different Oh what's the word
- 27:23Speaker 2: I'm looking for here? I yeah, like different, Like, oh, man,
- 27:31Speaker 2: that's gonna drive me nuts. Tyler.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I know, I know, and I'm I'm thinking of the
- 27:34Speaker 1: same thing and I can't think of it like.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Not divisions or definitions. I just want to punch myself
- 27:42Speaker 2: in the face right now. I know this should be
- 27:45Speaker 2: this should be so hard. Discipline. Discipline, Yes, that's what
- 27:48Speaker 2: I'm looking for. Yes, four different disciplines. There you go,
- 27:51Speaker 2: and guess what we're probably wrong in saying that. Sure
- 27:54Speaker 2: that being said, Tyler, Wait, where are we at here?
- 27:56Speaker 2: Two hundred individual medley? Yes, okay, an individual medley. What
- 28:00Speaker 2: do you got there? Yeah?
- 28:02Speaker 1: Peyton Accord, another swimmer from Bellingham on that same medley
- 28:06Speaker 1: relay team. She can do all all four disciplines in
- 28:09Speaker 1: two minutes thirty four point eight.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Two seconds fifty free style and this is this is
- 28:14Speaker 2: pretty cool.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Haley Haley Ferrell from Blaine. Blaine doesn't have a swim team,
- 28:19Speaker 1: so she comes up and swims with You know, I
- 28:22Speaker 1: think I don't know if it's squalkam or she swims
- 28:24Speaker 1: with with another team, and uh yeah, twenty six point
- 28:29Speaker 1: eight seconds. That's that's cruising in the fifty freestyle.
- 28:32Speaker 2: So it's funny you mentioned that because this last year
- 28:37Speaker 2: we had a we had a girl go to the
- 28:38Speaker 2: state tournament in gymnastics, and I was like, wait a minute,
- 28:44Speaker 2: we don't have a gymnastics team. I was like, they
- 28:46Speaker 2: don't practice anywhere, we don't even have gymnastics equipment at
- 28:49Speaker 2: the school. And then I found out she goes over
- 28:52Speaker 2: to inglemore and does it, which is yeah, I mean,
- 28:55Speaker 2: I guess it makes sense in some of these more
- 28:58Speaker 2: I mean, what do you call them each sports? You
- 29:00Speaker 2: know what I mean, sports that aren't maybe as mainstream
- 29:04Speaker 2: as you know, football or basketball or these other sports.
- 29:07Speaker 2: But one hundred butterfly tyler.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Yeah, so Grace Sorenson again from Bellingham, so freestyle, two
- 29:17Speaker 1: hundred freestyle and one hundred butterfly and two hundred medley relay.
- 29:21Speaker 1: She's got the top times in all of them, just
- 29:24Speaker 1: over a minute, one minute point three to three seconds.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Yeah, and you and I can barely do a cannon
- 29:29Speaker 2: ball one hundred freestyle.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Yeah, Jasmine Garcia from from Bellingham is a new name here.
- 29:37Speaker 1: One minute three point seven seconds.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Now, Tyler, This seems a little crazy to me because
- 29:43Speaker 2: one hundred butterfly her time is faster than the one
- 29:46Speaker 2: hundred freestyle.
- 29:47Speaker 1: I saw that too, it is it is crazy. But
- 29:50Speaker 1: what I've noticed a lot because there's not a lot
- 29:52Speaker 1: of races so far, and I've seen especially on the
- 29:56Speaker 1: Belli Aams had, they have so many great swimmers that
- 29:58Speaker 1: almost every event they just kind of put different swimmers
- 30:00Speaker 1: at different things. God, I would imagine Grace Sorenson hasn't
- 30:03Speaker 1: hasn't swimmed the hundred freestyle yet, and when she does,
- 30:06Speaker 1: she'll probably break a minute, you know what I mean.
- 30:08Speaker 1: So so we'll have to see as it goes. There
- 30:10Speaker 1: could be a lot of changes coming up in the
- 30:12Speaker 1: next few weeks.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Is the butterfly of the one where they swing their
- 30:14Speaker 2: arms like in circles and like you know what I mean, Like,
- 30:18Speaker 2: is that the butterfa they kind of go out then
- 30:20Speaker 2: come back in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think the big
- 30:22Speaker 2: sweeping work. Yeah, okay, yeah, Because I'm sitting there thinking
- 30:25Speaker 2: to myself, there's no way that the freestyle is not
- 30:27Speaker 2: the fastest one. But that makes sense. They've got so
- 30:29Speaker 2: many swimmers. How about the five hundred freestyle tyler, Yeah.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Addie Hayes from Bellingham. And that tells me a lot too.
- 30:37Speaker 1: At six minutes thirty nine seconds. Is that you know,
- 30:40Speaker 1: she's swimming on the relay team, you know, short distance stuff,
- 30:43Speaker 1: and now she's doing the five hundred freestyle, which is
- 30:46Speaker 1: the long distance one.
- 30:47Speaker 2: So it's pretty pretty impressive. Yeah, that is impressive. Not
- 30:49Speaker 2: to mention five hundred like meters of anything. I mean, yeah,
- 30:53Speaker 2: I don't even know how long it would take me
- 30:55Speaker 2: to walk that.
- 30:56Speaker 1: I mean, imagine swimming around the track plus another quarter.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Nope. How about the two hundred freestyle relay?
- 31:09Speaker 1: Yeah, and another Bellingham squad and a few new names here,
- 31:12Speaker 1: or I think it's at least one of them, Peyton Accord,
- 31:15Speaker 1: Jasmine Garcia, Mandela Windram, and June Wilson. Just over two
- 31:20Speaker 1: minutes there, two minutes point three to one. You see,
- 31:22Speaker 1: the medley relay is two two, So again you're gonna
- 31:26Speaker 1: and this is only two seconds off.
- 31:27Speaker 2: So these are this freestyle.
- 31:28Speaker 1: So again, like you were saying earlier, this could really
- 31:31Speaker 1: change some stuff going on through the season.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Well and okay, so two hundred freestyle relay. That means
- 31:37Speaker 2: they're all doing what fifty? They just yeah, so it's
- 31:40Speaker 2: just down or just down like okay, so they're just going.
- 31:44Speaker 2: That's crazy then because that means they're each averaging what
- 31:49Speaker 2: thirty seconds? Yeah, so then if you double it, it
- 31:52Speaker 2: would be a minute, which would be about a minute three.
- 31:54Speaker 2: So you know when you figure the fact that they
- 31:56Speaker 2: they shouldn't be able to do two fifties in a
- 31:58Speaker 2: row at the same time, you know what I mean
- 32:00Speaker 2: in theory, right right? But wow, I mean that is cooking.
- 32:04Speaker 2: How about the hunter backstroke.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Yeah, a new name here, Mars Molina from Squalicum at
- 32:10Speaker 1: the hundred backstroke one minute fourteen point eight four seconds.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Yeah, not only a new name, but a new team
- 32:17Speaker 2: finally since exactly since Blaine at the fifty freestyle. And
- 32:20Speaker 2: by the way, here's another Blaine one. Well, the same girl,
- 32:22Speaker 2: but Blaine won for the hunter breastroke.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Yeah, Haley Farrell from Blaine. Same same girl, one minute
- 32:28Speaker 1: nineteen seconds. You know, she won the state title as
- 32:31Speaker 1: a freshman and in the and a few different events,
- 32:35Speaker 1: I believe, and she it was crazy because she won it.
- 32:38Speaker 1: I think if she won in the five hundred freestyle
- 32:41Speaker 1: and she won it in the two A.
- 32:42Speaker 2: But she was swimming. You know, she goes to one
- 32:44Speaker 2: A school.
- 32:46Speaker 1: It's pretty it's pretty impressive, so I think she I
- 32:48Speaker 1: think it might be the Ferndale team, but man, it's uh,
- 32:52Speaker 1: it's it's it's a pretty cool deal. I remember us
- 32:54Speaker 1: talking about her when we were at the Hall of Fame.
- 32:57Speaker 1: I go to these monthly Hall of Fame meetings for
- 32:59Speaker 1: for for Blane, and they were all talking about her
- 33:01Speaker 1: and and they're like, she's just a freshman. She want
- 33:03Speaker 1: to stay title. Blaine has never had a swimmer before.
- 33:06Speaker 1: This is impressed, unprecedented stuff. So it's good to see
- 33:09Speaker 1: that she's still doing really well. And she's doing it
- 33:11Speaker 1: in a lot of different events.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Let's see here last one, four hundred freestyle relay.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is always the big one that finishes
- 33:20Speaker 1: the night. That's always a lot of fun. It's another
- 33:22Speaker 1: Bellingham team and a couple of new names here, Mandela Windram,
- 33:28Speaker 1: Grace Sorenson, Madelin Nice and Anika Holland. So you're seeing
- 33:32Speaker 1: Grace Sorenson in four different events here. So when I
- 33:37Speaker 1: start to see that, it makes me go, oh, that's
- 33:40Speaker 1: who we should get to do the next intro, much
- 33:43Speaker 1: like we did with Dylan Fizk and stuff like that.
- 33:45Speaker 2: You know, so pretty cool. See, I'm not on top
- 33:48Speaker 2: of my game right now, Tyler, I'm a little tired
- 33:50Speaker 2: of else I probably would have had something like that
- 33:51Speaker 2: right and then just forced you to do it and
- 33:53Speaker 2: then you're going great. I hope that person follows me,
- 33:57Speaker 2: or I hope somebody hears us and goes, hey, Grace,
- 33:59Speaker 2: you got to do this real quick. Yeah.
- 34:01Speaker 1: I haven't had too much trouble with these other sports
- 34:03Speaker 1: getting people. I'm always thinking they're going to say, what's
- 34:07Speaker 1: the walk and Preps podcast?
- 34:08Speaker 2: But so far they know So it's a good thing.
- 34:11Speaker 2: That's a really good thing. I mean, it adds on
- 34:13Speaker 2: to the eleven listeners we already have. Yeah, right, that's
- 34:17Speaker 2: girls swim and dive. Oh and I guess we should
- 34:20Speaker 2: mention what or did we already mention that that there
- 34:22Speaker 2: was no diving yet? Did we?
- 34:26Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been a little bit, but I don't think
- 34:28Speaker 1: there's been enough dives to qualify yet. So yeah, there
- 34:31Speaker 1: will be probably by the time next week rolls around.
- 34:34Speaker 1: I think Seahome has some divers, but you know, I've
- 34:37Speaker 1: seen a lot of events where it's the school versus
- 34:39Speaker 1: this school and nothing happened diving wise.
- 34:41Speaker 2: So that happens every once in a while, but see
- 34:43Speaker 2: them as a few. I couldn't remember if you and
- 34:45Speaker 2: I talked about that on here or if yeah, if
- 34:48Speaker 2: it was when we were off, So I want to
- 34:49Speaker 2: make sure we mentioned that because there might be somebody
- 34:51Speaker 2: at home going, hey, you idiots, you didn't mention any diving. Yeah,
- 34:54Speaker 2: so technically this week is just girl swim, but eventually
- 34:57Speaker 2: we'll get to the and diving part. Let's talk volleyball.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Tyler and volleyball their scoreboards responsible by acreature. Actreature is
- 35:05Speaker 2: an extraordinary advantage for all your commercial, medical, and personal
- 35:09Speaker 2: insurance needs. Please reach out to Josh Wright if you
- 35:12Speaker 2: would like to learn more about what makes acroature an
- 35:14Speaker 2: extraordinary advantage. Uh, we've got uh, We'll got three three
- 35:19Speaker 2: groups of teams here, Tyler. As we go through the standings, Uh, Bellingham, Blaine,
- 35:24Speaker 2: excuse me, Bellingham, Blaine, and Mount Baker. All teams are
- 35:29Speaker 2: zero and three in the league right now, Blaine does
- 35:31Speaker 2: have a win. Uh overall, what can you tell me
- 35:34Speaker 2: about those three? Yeah? I saw that.
- 35:37Speaker 1: I saw that Blaine. Uh that that that Blaine win.
- 35:40Speaker 1: I believe it was like on Wednesday at Orchest against
- 35:42Speaker 1: Orcas Island. And but these are teams that I mean,
- 35:46Speaker 1: Mount Baker has vastly.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Improved from last year.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Uh, they're gonna they're gonna compete in every single match
- 35:52Speaker 1: that they're in.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Uh, you know, Blaine, Blaine's.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Got some height they you know, and they just they
- 35:59Speaker 1: have to find their rotation that that works for them
- 36:03Speaker 1: and they're gonna stay with I think I think things
- 36:05Speaker 1: are clicking pretty well.
- 36:06Speaker 2: They've had some really close matches.
- 36:07Speaker 1: They did take a set from Lennon Christian this week too,
- 36:12Speaker 1: so that tells me a lot. So, you know, but
- 36:15Speaker 1: they had I think they had to play like on
- 36:16Speaker 1: three straight day, three straight nights, which is crazy. And Bellingham,
- 36:19Speaker 1: Bellingham is you know, they're working in a new setter,
- 36:22Speaker 1: Bailey Burge, and she's doing well. But it's so hard
- 36:25Speaker 1: when when you know he's I always say, you're only
- 36:29Speaker 1: as good as your setter is, and when you have
- 36:31Speaker 1: to work in a new one, it's gonna take a
- 36:33Speaker 1: little while to get the communication down. But eventually, you know,
- 36:37Speaker 1: they have the good power on the outside to to
- 36:40Speaker 1: to do some damage.
- 36:42Speaker 2: See Home is two and one, two and one overall,
- 36:45Speaker 2: Meridian one and two, one and two overall, Nookxact Valley
- 36:48Speaker 2: one and two, one and two overall, Squalicum one and two,
- 36:51Speaker 2: one and three overall. Tell me about those four. Yeah.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Squalicum had a throwing five set match against Blaine. They
- 36:57Speaker 1: were down two to zero, two sets to zero, came
- 37:00Speaker 1: back to win the next three, which is incredible. I
- 37:03Speaker 1: got to watch. I was at a volleyball match that night.
- 37:06Speaker 1: I got to watch the fifth set online and I
- 37:09Speaker 1: think Squalakum was just running on their on the on
- 37:13Speaker 1: the momentum and when at like fifteen to four or
- 37:16Speaker 1: something like that, I mean.
- 37:16Speaker 2: They were just cruising. Nookzac Valley.
- 37:19Speaker 1: Very very good team, very young, no seniors on the team.
- 37:23Speaker 1: I saw them in a four set match against Lakewood.
- 37:25Speaker 1: Got to sit up in the stands with coach Bartell.
- 37:27Speaker 2: That was fun.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Meridian is, I mean, Meridian is way better than their
- 37:32Speaker 1: one and two record indicates they've been playing some really
- 37:34Speaker 1: tough opponents. They're going to be up near the top
- 37:36Speaker 1: of the one A and see Home. Their one loss
- 37:39Speaker 1: came to Burlington this week and Burlington's the team that
- 37:41Speaker 1: you know, got fourth in state last year and returns everybody.
- 37:45Speaker 1: So that's and that went five sets. So I think
- 37:48Speaker 1: Seahom is legit. You're looking at, you know, going to
- 37:51Speaker 1: going to state.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I believe.
- 37:53Speaker 1: I don't want to put that on them, but I'm going.
- 37:55Speaker 2: To, I guess, because I think they have.
- 37:57Speaker 1: That kind of talent. And to take Berlin to five sets,
- 38:00Speaker 1: that tells me a lot.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yeah, it says a lot, a lot. I mean that's
- 38:05Speaker 2: pretty incredible. Uh. Ferndale, Linden and Linden Christian three teams
- 38:10Speaker 2: are undefeated in league play. All three teams are three
- 38:13Speaker 2: and oh in league play. Ferndale three and two overall,
- 38:16Speaker 2: Linden three and one overall, Linden Christian four and one overall.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking about you know, three A, two A
- 38:21Speaker 1: and one A. Pretty good teams here. Ferndale Berndale looks awesome.
- 38:26Speaker 1: I mean they have so many players they can rotate
- 38:28Speaker 1: in and out. I mean there were some there's a
- 38:30Speaker 1: couple of players even seniors that aren't just aren't playing
- 38:34Speaker 1: as much, that played a lot last year. So that
- 38:36Speaker 1: tells me they're getting some underclassmen that are coming up
- 38:38Speaker 1: and making big, big differences, and it allows them to,
- 38:43Speaker 1: you know, to stretch out with kind of what they have,
- 38:46Speaker 1: and they have the ability.
- 38:47Speaker 2: They have a ton of depth, which a three A
- 38:49Speaker 2: team should have. It feel.
- 38:50Speaker 1: I feel like last year they kind of had, you know,
- 38:53Speaker 1: seven or eight players that played a lot. Now they
- 38:55Speaker 1: got like ten, ten or eleven. So it's a that's
- 38:58Speaker 1: a that's a nice thing to have for the For
- 39:00Speaker 1: the Golden Eagles, Linden is Linden. I mean, they're just
- 39:04Speaker 1: they're just tall, athletic. They only suit up eight or
- 39:06Speaker 1: nine players and and they just fly around and they're
- 39:10Speaker 1: so well coached and and it's it's it's that mystique.
- 39:13Speaker 1: You know, it's the Linden on the shirt. You know,
- 39:16Speaker 1: you know you're down five just walking into the gym there.
- 39:18Speaker 1: So uh, it's it's it's pretty it's always. I mean,
- 39:22Speaker 1: they have four players that went on to play college volleyball.
- 39:26Speaker 1: They graduated last year, four of them, plus a couple
- 39:28Speaker 1: of other really good players that are you know, one
- 39:31Speaker 1: of them is going to play another college sports. So
- 39:33Speaker 1: they had really good athletes that went on and it's like, okay,
- 39:37Speaker 1: they just boom all of a sudden they get you know,
- 39:39Speaker 1: six one over here, six one over.
- 39:40Speaker 2: There, and you know, here we go.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Un Lennon Christian is vastly improved from last year. There's
- 39:47Speaker 1: a lot of things in play there with you know,
- 39:49Speaker 1: the brand new coach, the Hall of Famer coming in
- 39:52Speaker 1: Dennis Jansen. Plus they got, you know, the big time
- 39:54Speaker 1: players coming off injury, and you got the youngsters playing
- 39:59Speaker 1: really really well. You got to you know, you got
- 40:00Speaker 1: a six to one middle blocker and Jocelyn Eshee who's
- 40:03Speaker 1: coming up from the JB from last year, and you
- 40:06Speaker 1: just have a lot of these everything's kind of coming
- 40:09Speaker 1: together at the right point for them, and they're going
- 40:11Speaker 1: to be really tough to beat at the one.
- 40:13Speaker 2: A tyler, let's talk about the leader board as far
- 40:17Speaker 2: as statistics go in volleyball. I'll give you the stat Tyler,
- 40:21Speaker 2: you give me who it is and what their numbers are.
- 40:25Speaker 2: We'll start with it. Kills per set.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a tie between two teammates, how about that,
- 40:31Speaker 1: which is really impressive, Ryan Stephan and Finley Partcher from Lindon.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Both players are underclassmen, both star on the basketball team
- 40:38Speaker 1: as well, and uh yeah, four point one one kills
- 40:42Speaker 1: per set usually if you're around three, a little over three,
- 40:46Speaker 1: that's that's doing very very well. They both have over
- 40:49Speaker 1: four and to be on the same team, be on
- 40:52Speaker 1: the court at the same time, that's pretty scary. And
- 40:54Speaker 1: it tells me a lot too about their freshman setter
- 40:57Speaker 1: Izzy Stephan, who's come in and and is delivering these
- 41:01Speaker 1: balls perfectly to these other athletes. So again, you know,
- 41:04Speaker 1: it's really hard to get a kill if you don't
- 41:06Speaker 1: get a good set, So that says a lot.
- 41:07Speaker 2: About their team play. Tyler. My math tells me that
- 41:10Speaker 2: those two average eight kills per set as a as
- 41:14Speaker 2: a as a group as a duo. Good job assist
- 41:18Speaker 2: per set, Tyler. Yeah.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Ella Fritz from Lennon Christian another underclassman nine point eighty three,
- 41:25Speaker 1: which is a big time number. She's just one of
- 41:28Speaker 1: those crazy athletes that can do a lot of stuff.
- 41:31Speaker 1: She's gonna have a ton of aces, digs.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Blocks, kills as well.
- 41:35Speaker 1: I love it when the setter does the little fake
- 41:37Speaker 1: out set and puts it over the net and she
- 41:41Speaker 1: can jump out of the gym. You know, she's about
- 41:44Speaker 1: five to ten, great, great basketball player, probably gonna play
- 41:47Speaker 1: college somewhere basketball.
- 41:50Speaker 2: But just one of those like unique athletes. It's a
- 41:53Speaker 2: lot of fun to watch.
- 41:54Speaker 1: And she's got some really tall players that can really
- 41:57Speaker 1: jump on the outside, so she sets up the offense
- 42:01Speaker 1: very very well.
- 42:02Speaker 2: Tyler, why does it seem like Wakam County Volleyball has
- 42:05Speaker 2: just freshmen all over the place? Like do these girls
- 42:07Speaker 2: not even make it to their senior year? Do they
- 42:09Speaker 2: just go to college early? What's going on here? Like
- 42:12Speaker 2: there's always freshmen, which is cool because it just means
- 42:15Speaker 2: that you know, they're going to follow our stuff for
- 42:17Speaker 2: four years. Where are we at here, aces Perset?
- 42:20Speaker 1: Tyler, Yeah, Well, speaking of freshman Jillian Parfett from Seahome,
- 42:25Speaker 1: she is a freshman. She's a service line extraordinaire. They'll
- 42:30Speaker 1: bring her in a lot of times when it's time
- 42:33Speaker 1: to serve, and then she'll just go on or run
- 42:36Speaker 1: and then and then she'll play a little bit, come out,
- 42:38Speaker 1: and then she'll come back in when it's her when
- 42:39Speaker 1: it's her time in the rotation to serve, averaging one
- 42:43Speaker 1: and a half aces per.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Set, which is is just doing great.
- 42:46Speaker 1: And she's tied with Mattie Lewis from Mount Baker, a
- 42:49Speaker 1: junior who is a really powerful player. She can play.
- 42:53Speaker 1: She can do all sorts of things all.
- 42:54Speaker 2: Over the court, and she plays great on defense.
- 42:58Speaker 1: He's great upfront at the service line. Probably you know
- 43:02Speaker 1: you know her maybe along with Annalie Cone, that the
- 43:05Speaker 1: two top.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Overall players for that Mount Baker program. That's really on
- 43:09Speaker 2: the rise right now, Tyler. I was watching a little
- 43:12Speaker 2: bit of Boffel Mercer Island last week on my way
- 43:15Speaker 2: out after practice. I think the most amazing thing in
- 43:20Speaker 2: volleyball is the dig, especially because it's such a loud thud,
- 43:24Speaker 2: you know what I mean sometimes where it's like it's
- 43:26Speaker 2: a very defeating sound. I'll tell you what. This girl
- 43:29Speaker 2: from Mercer Island, man, she was diving all over the place,
- 43:33Speaker 2: one hand in things, and I mean she was digging
- 43:36Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. Who leads Wakam County there in
- 43:38Speaker 2: the digs per set.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be Junior the barrow Katrina Ferry from Ferndale
- 43:43Speaker 1: four and a half digs per set.
- 43:45Speaker 2: She is all over the place.
- 43:47Speaker 1: She's hustling everywhere, and you're right when you get a
- 43:50Speaker 1: player that can again, it's amazing to even get to
- 43:54Speaker 1: the ball, but to put it in a place where
- 43:56Speaker 1: you can put it straight up to where your setter
- 43:58Speaker 1: can get to it or get it to your setter.
- 44:00Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.
- 44:02Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of things in play there
- 44:04Speaker 1: with angles and different things and knowing body control and
- 44:08Speaker 1: where to be. And Katrina Ferry is one of the
- 44:10Speaker 1: best at it from Ferndale and she just had a
- 44:12Speaker 1: huge week this week and and uh and led the
- 44:16Speaker 1: Golden Eagles to some wins.
- 44:18Speaker 2: How about blocks per St Tyler.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Yeah, Jocelyn s Ice from from Lennon Lennon Christian Uh,
- 44:25Speaker 1: you know, extremely tall up front, almost one block per
- 44:28Speaker 1: set or right at zero point nine to two. Uh,
- 44:31Speaker 1: that's a really high number. Usual you're looking at like
- 44:33Speaker 1: a zero point seven five would be a leader somewhere
- 44:36Speaker 1: in there. So she she surpasses that. And she had
- 44:41Speaker 1: one one match I think where it was. I think
- 44:44Speaker 1: they played four sets, but she had like seven blocks
- 44:47Speaker 1: in it or something like that. Just an incredible night.
- 44:50Speaker 1: And and you can you can block all you want,
- 44:53Speaker 1: but if they return it, it's not a block, you
- 44:55Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 44:55Speaker 2: But if you if you block point yeah. Yeah.
- 44:59Speaker 1: So that's really really impressive that hers. I mean, she
- 45:02Speaker 1: gets to a lot of them, but a lot of
- 45:04Speaker 1: hers lead to points, which is a big reason why
- 45:07Speaker 1: Lenny Christian's doing as well as they are.
- 45:10Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty incredible, Tyler. We've only got players of
- 45:14Speaker 2: the week left to go, so let's talk about the girls.
- 45:16Speaker 2: A soccer player of the week which is brought to
- 45:17Speaker 2: you by North County Alliance FC. Find them online at
- 45:21Speaker 2: Ncalliance fc dot com. Tyler who is the North County
- 45:24Speaker 2: Alliance FC Player of the week.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Yeah, it's sophomore from Bellingham, Samaya Row. And it's crazy
- 45:32Speaker 1: because she just scored the one goal but it was
- 45:34Speaker 1: the game winner against Seahome in that big time game.
- 45:37Speaker 1: And you know, playing in the midfield too, you're involved
- 45:40Speaker 1: in so much stuff and to help out the defense
- 45:43Speaker 1: that way to secure the clean sheet against the Mariners
- 45:47Speaker 1: is huge. And so yeah, so she's your Samaya Row
- 45:51Speaker 1: is from Bellingham as your North County Alliance FC Player
- 45:53Speaker 1: of the Week.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Turfstra Law sponsors the volleyball offensive player of the week.

- 46:19Speaker 1: Got to see her in person this week. I mean
- 46:22Speaker 1: she just holy cow, it's what an athlete, you know.
- 46:26Speaker 1: I mean, she's definitely gonna go play some D one
- 46:28Speaker 1: basketball somewhere. But and it wasn't just the kills that
- 46:32Speaker 1: she racked up. She had a ton of aces as well,
- 46:34Speaker 1: and that counts for offensive stuff. So uh, picking up
- 46:38Speaker 1: a lot of points for the Lions. Finley Parcher from Lyndon,

- 47:12Speaker 1: they you know, they start out the year great with
- 47:14Speaker 1: a winover Meridian. They played in that little round Robin
- 47:17Speaker 1: against Lendon Christians and Cedar Park Christian And it was
