0:51
Speaker 1: his future and can't wait to keep tabs and see
0:55
Speaker 1: how he does at the next level. It's going to
0:57
Speaker 1: be pretty awesome. Also want to thank Walton Average. Walton

1:02
Speaker 1: five years and I will continue to work harder every

Speaker 1: day to make the fantastic people at Walton Beverage proud
1:08
Speaker 1: to sponsor youth sports in our community. They deliver superior
1:12
Speaker 1: quality and commitment, and I plan to do the very same. Well,
1:16
Speaker 1: this would be an interesting episode a little maybe a
1:18
Speaker 1: little shorter than usual as there was only two different
1:21
Speaker 1: sports going on this past week that wrapped up not
1:25
Speaker 1: just the spring season, but the school year. And kind
1:30
Speaker 1: of bittersweet for me because it's it's what I love
1:34
Speaker 1: to do and then all of a sudden, when this
1:36
Speaker 1: weekend hits, it's done. And so many athletes that you know,
1:43
Speaker 1: I have to say goodbye to, so many that I
1:45
Speaker 1: won't see maybe ever again. But it also allows me
1:49
Speaker 1: to do a lot of things that I wasn't able
1:53
Speaker 1: to do for the last nine months. You know, I
1:55
Speaker 1: can I need to get my eyes checked out, get
1:57
Speaker 1: an eye exam. I can you look into getting health insurance?
2:02
Speaker 1: I can, you know, get there's all there's work on
2:08
Speaker 1: my car, and there's so many things that I need
2:11
Speaker 1: to do that I just haven't had the time to
2:13
Speaker 1: do in the last nine months, plus a lot of
2:15
Speaker 1: research heading into the next school year. There's a lot
2:19
Speaker 1: of things I want to look at historical wise, work
2:23
Speaker 1: on more graphics, get more sponsors. So that's kind of
2:29
Speaker 1: what I work on when it's the summertime. So maybe
2:32
Speaker 1: go to some football camps. I would love to do that,
2:34
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things going on like that.
2:39
Speaker 1: And one thing that I would love to do is
2:43
Speaker 1: some days have you know that can annual Walk Them
2:46
Speaker 1: Preps golf tournament every summer. So that's something that might
2:50
Speaker 1: happen at some point. It be a huge benefit for me,
2:55
Speaker 1: kind of like a big fundraiser for Walk Them Preps.
2:59
Speaker 1: I know, doing the first which one would be tough,
3:00
Speaker 1: but after that, if I can get into a rhythm,
3:02
Speaker 1: that'd be huge and kind of go from there. So
3:06
Speaker 1: and I will get to sleep a little bit too,
3:08
Speaker 1: that'll be nice. And so anyways, let's get right into
3:12
Speaker 1: it and we're going to talk about state championships. Track
3:16

14:58
Speaker 1: Ludimann of Seahome. She brings the three state championships. Just
15:03
Speaker 1: incredible what she's done in the eight hundred meters. She
15:07
Speaker 1: ranks twentieth in the nation. That is, you know, does
15:11
Speaker 1: not matter size of school or whatever. She at one
15:14
Speaker 1: point she had the top time in the nation at
15:17
Speaker 1: one point. She's now ranked twentieth in the nation, but
15:21
Speaker 1: still just and just a sophomore. So uh, she's gonna

Speaker 1: Track and Field Athlete of the Week. We're gonna move
15:40
Speaker 1: on to boys soccer now, which of course is sponsored
15:43
Speaker 1: by North County Alliance FC. You give visit them online
15:47
Speaker 1: NCALLIANCEFC dot com. Lots of different levels there, club, competitive
15:52
Speaker 1: and recreation. If you just want to learn about soccer,
15:55
Speaker 1: get out there, run around all that stuff. Lots of
15:57
Speaker 1: different age groups. I advise you to go check it out. Well,
16:02
Speaker 1: we you know, we had three teams going into the
16:04
Speaker 1: final four from Walking County, which was very exciting. I
16:07
Speaker 1: loved it. In the broadcast on NFHS they were even
16:11
Speaker 1: talking about that, how there's three teams from the city
16:13
Speaker 1: of Bellingham making it to the final four and their
16:16
Speaker 1: respective classifications and so got a lot of pub from
16:21
Speaker 1: that and Day one. Day one went pretty well. Squalkum
16:25
Speaker 1: defeated Columbia River three zero. Columbia River. I think I
16:28
Speaker 1: believe they were the state champions last year and it
16:33
Speaker 1: was a very very strong performance. Crew Johnson with an
16:38
Speaker 1: early goal on a header. It remained one zero for
16:42
Speaker 1: quite a while. Freshman all Over Hogland scored on a
16:46
Speaker 1: shot in the second half make it to zero, and
16:49
Speaker 1: then Cody McCauley in stoppage time there got a late
16:53
Speaker 1: goal to make it three zero as Squalkam moved onto
16:56
Speaker 1: the state championship game. On the other side of the
16:59
Speaker 1: bracket for two ways, it was not as lucky for
17:01
Speaker 1: the Seahome Mariners. Kevin Schroeder had a header just six
17:07
Speaker 1: minutes into the contest and to lead one zero, but
17:12
Speaker 1: Bainbridge was able to score a couple of goals. Bainbridge
17:14
Speaker 1: going into it with the top you know, undefeated, top
17:17
Speaker 1: ranked team in two way, Bainbridge wins two to one
17:21
Speaker 1: over Sea home to knock the Mariners into the third
17:24
Speaker 1: fourth place game. On the one A side, Radian had
17:27
Speaker 1: their hands full with the wall Luke Warriors. And and
17:33
Speaker 1: it's crazy because a little more than about halfway into
17:37
Speaker 1: the first half, there was a play when Skylar Rowe
17:40
Speaker 1: kind of spun through three different Warrior defenders, passed it
17:43
Speaker 1: off to Dakota ning Ing who ended up scoring on
17:47
Speaker 1: a really great shot. I mean it was a ways away.
17:50
Speaker 1: It was an angled shot hit the back you back,
17:53
Speaker 1: left corner of the goal and scored and that would
17:55
Speaker 1: be the lone goal to send Meridian to their first
17:58
Speaker 1: ever state championship game. So pretty strong Friday. It did
18:03
Speaker 1: not go as well on Saturday, as all three Walking
18:07
Speaker 1: County teams took the loss, seeing them losing to Columbia
18:10
Speaker 1: River to one. It's and yeah, yeah, I'm sorry about that.
18:16
Speaker 1: Yeah they lose. They lost the Columbia River to to one.
18:19
Speaker 1: It was to zero. Mason if Savage scored on a
18:23
Speaker 1: penalty kick roughly halfway through the second half, but they
18:27
Speaker 1: were not able to get that game tying goal, as
18:29
Speaker 1: the Mariners season closes with a record of eighteen wins,
18:32
Speaker 1: three losses, and four ties. Meridian also lost in the
18:37
Speaker 1: state championship game against the Fashion Island Pirates, who led
18:41
Speaker 1: to zero after one half of play and Meridian just
18:45
Speaker 1: was not able to catch up. They entered this They
18:47
Speaker 1: entered the tournament as the twelfth seed and played extremely well.
18:51
Speaker 1: Didn't even allow a goal until the state championship game.
18:54
Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Meridian Trojans. You know, you can't
18:58
Speaker 1: say enough about them. They end season with a record
19:01
Speaker 1: of fourteen wins, five losses and three ties. In the
19:05
Speaker 1: two A state championship game, boy, right off the bat,
19:09
Speaker 1: I think like two minutes in, mattick Strickland scored his
19:13
Speaker 1: thirty ninth goal of the season, and that was It
19:17
Speaker 1: looked like, holy cow, this is this is gonna be
19:19
Speaker 1: something here, but that would be it. Scor remained one
19:23
Speaker 1: zero throughout the first half. Ten minutes into the second half,
19:28
Speaker 1: squalm was trying to clear the ball but it was
19:30
Speaker 1: blocked and then followed up by a tremendous assist and
19:33
Speaker 1: goal to equalize the score at one to one. And
19:36
Speaker 1: the final thirty plus minutes was really intense, a lot
19:40
Speaker 1: of close chances. There by both teams had to go
19:43
Speaker 1: in extra time, you know, five minutes, two different five
19:47
Speaker 1: minute overtime periods. Still was scoreless and it had to
19:50
Speaker 1: be settled with a penalty kick shootout where Bainbridge connected
19:54
Speaker 1: on their first one and then Squalakum's first shot was
19:59
Speaker 1: blocked and then bainbridge second shot was blocked by goalie
20:04
Speaker 1: Maxwell Phillips of Squalicum, and Isaac Grimes came in and
20:08
Speaker 1: he made his penalty kick on the left side of
20:11
Speaker 1: the goal to make one to one in penalties each
20:13
Speaker 1: with three tries left. But from there on out, Bainbridge
20:17
Speaker 1: was making bears and Squalicum's shots were blocked, so it
20:21
Speaker 1: just take it just took two of those and then
20:24
Speaker 1: Bainbridge won the state championship. They were undefeated without even
20:29
Speaker 1: a tie. But that also ended up being Squalicum's only
20:33
Speaker 1: loss of the season as well as they end up
20:35
Speaker 1: with twenty one wins, one loss, one tie, so you know,
20:40
Speaker 1: it's just it was one of those things. I mean,
20:42
Speaker 1: it was too bad for Walking County taking three losses
20:45
Speaker 1: there on Saturday, but what a memorable season for all
20:48
Speaker 1: three teams to get there, as well as everybody else,
20:51
Speaker 1: you know, Linden making a run as well, Linden Christian
20:53
Speaker 1: getting to the state tournament. It's fun watching Ferndale finished
20:58
Speaker 1: above five hundred two. Beelling was clicking at the end
21:01
Speaker 1: of the year, so there's there's some great things to
21:03
Speaker 1: look forward to for next year. But yeah, it's just
21:09
Speaker 1: it's incredible, incredible season. And when I thought about, you
21:15
Speaker 1: know who the North County Lines FC Player of the
21:17
Speaker 1: Week would be, I'm giving it to Maxwell Phillips of Squalkum,
21:21
Speaker 1: the senior goalkeeper. You know it's tough to have it
21:25
Speaker 1: put on him in penalty kicks for the state championship
21:30
Speaker 1: because you know you're supposed to score the goal in
21:33
Speaker 1: those situations. He did, He did block one. He had
21:36
Speaker 1: an amazing tournament all the way through, and to keep
21:41
Speaker 1: Bainbridge to just one goal during regulation and overtime is
21:46
Speaker 1: incredibly impressive. And so you know, he definitely should be
21:50
Speaker 1: hanging He should be holding his head up high. He
21:53
Speaker 1: should not be hanging his head because he had a
21:55
Speaker 1: tremendous season. And yeah, I think I think he gets
22:00
Speaker 1: overshadowed by the offensive outburst that Squal produces. But Maxwell Phillips,
22:06
Speaker 1: you are the North County Alliance FC player of the week.
22:11
Speaker 1: That about does it. Going forward. I'm not sure about
22:15
Speaker 1: this summer about how podcasts will go. And there might
22:18
Speaker 1: be impromptu ones here and there. They might be in
22:21
Speaker 1: video form where I interview coaches or players or athletic directors.
22:27
Speaker 1: Who knows. There's going to be some changes going on
22:31
Speaker 1: as far as next season's schedules that I think some
22:37
Speaker 1: people may have heard about. Maybe you haven't heard about it.
22:41
Speaker 1: I want to talk to Blaine's athletic director, Chas Cock
22:44
Speaker 1: about that, so I think he might come on and
22:47
Speaker 1: explain that so people kind of understand what to look
22:50
Speaker 1: for next year as far as team sports go and
22:54
Speaker 1: in the scheduling. I think it's a win win for everybody.
22:57
Speaker 1: And I think if you understand kind of where it's
23:00
Speaker 1: coming from, it's gonna be it's gonna be fun, especially
23:03
Speaker 1: for you longtime sports fans that remember the old days
23:07
Speaker 1: when you know, uh, you know, you know, Meridian and
23:13
Speaker 1: Blaine would play each other three times a year in
23:15
Speaker 1: basketball stuff like that. It's going to kind of get
23:17
Speaker 1: back to stuff like that, So it's gonna be really cool.
23:21
Speaker 1: I think it'll be better for every you know, for
23:24
Speaker 1: every sport, and we'll get into that. And when we
23:27
Speaker 1: talked to coach Chascock, who is also the athletic director
23:31
