  Speaker 1: the AC unit out of the window in the office,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: close the window for the year, kind of you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: look ahead. There's no days over sixty five anymore. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and it's crazy because those things are so heavy. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I did that this morning, and I'm removing it and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to, you know, get it out as I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: put it down, and I close the window and sit
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: down sweating, and I'm like, man, I could really use

  Speaker 2: back of my throat. Might need to go pop an

  Speaker 2: ever noticed the fact that Mayberry makes berries, Like, yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that's I don't know if I've ever noticed that. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: like an idiot right now.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You may have said it like right off the bat
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: when they became a sponsor, like over a year ago.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like I should have figured that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: out by now. Yeah, right, But I just the way
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that it's it's here and it says berry supplier of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Choice and then just above it Mayberry. I was just like, well,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, yeah, Tyler. If I mean, we're now
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: into week four, so if people want to get on board,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: there's still some time left here as far as sponsorships go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: But it's almost I don't want to say it's time
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to start thinking about the winter, but we can start
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: thinking about the winner. If people got stuff they want
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to sponsor, there. If somebody wants to sponsor, how do
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they get a hold of you? What do they got
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to do here?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, getting a hold of me through social media is
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: always the best way to search walking preps on Facebook
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: or Instagram or Twitter. Send me a message on there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: You can send me a text through six zero six
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: eight four or three zero six and we could figure
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: something out. You know. One of the things that people
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: love the graphics, and those graphics get so many views,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and that's where a lot of sponsors, sponsorships go to.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They want to sponsor this graphic or that. No, no graphic.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That would be a great one a sponsor would be
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: when we make our predictions because that like those the pick'ms,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: those get so many views it's crazy. Every Friday morning
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: or Thursday morning, is the case it was last week.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I post that early in the morning and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I mean it's just hundreds and hundreds,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's whoa. So that would be a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: good thing. There's all sorts of things. There's a that's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: available to sponsors. So uh, just get a hold of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: me and we can keep this walking preps thing going. Yeah.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You know. The other thing is is uh, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: on Friday night when the games are over, they get
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of shares there too, because that's all the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: people tell us that we're wrong.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Right exactly, that they then they yeah, then it kind
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of multiplies, right because then they're they're like reposting and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: sharing and adding their own little twist to it. But
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: the graphics still the graphic, I mean, you know, your
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: logo would still be there, and this is getting more
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: flicks that way. So, especially if you're a business that's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: like local, that just wants to be wants a way
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to get their name out there, this is a great way.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I get it. If you're an established business, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, hardware sales, well they've been in Walking
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: County for eighty years or whatever. Okay, I get that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But if you're arting out of business and you want
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and you want like a cheap way to get your
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: name out there, this was this is a huge way.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Absolutely Well, Tyler, We've got ten games to talk about tonight.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We've got Randy Small's weather forecast as well. We've got
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the pick Ems, which by the way, do not have
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a sponsor, and the Fantasy which doesn't have a sponsor.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Either Yeah, there's two of them right there. Yeah, in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the fantasy Yeah. I mean we talk about it every
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: single week. You know, maybe we should put together a
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: graphic for that, Tyler. Why didn't we ever do that?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I just I do graphics all day.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you've got pictures of all these guys. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: mean I could usually make a template for it, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I do. Yeah, Tyler, let's talk about these games here.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: We've got eight games on Friday night, two on Saturday,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: two separate Saturday games, so people wanted to do something
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, the little double header action there, So we'll
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: get around to that one. But let's talk first game
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of the day on Friday is actually a five pm
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: game out at Forks High School, UH Meridian. The Trojans
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: headed out there two and one to take on Forks
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: one and two. Tyler, I've seen Forks probably three times
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in my life. Well, I see it every Thanksgiving as well,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and pretty much most days. I saw about an hour
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and a half ago when I was eating some spaghetti. Now,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I Forks is a team that you know, they're kind
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of out there. They've always been kind of one of
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: the smaller schools. I can't remember if they're one A
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: or two B or what they are now. But I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: know there are two B there for a little bit
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: much history with Forks as far as Walkham County teams go.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's still two B. And they played each other
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: at Civic Stadium in two thousand in the quarters, okay,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And that was a game. I remember. I was writing
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: for the Herald and I was off that night or
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that afternoon. I remember it was an afternoon game, so
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm just gonna buzz out there and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: watch it. And it was a crazy game. I want
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to say it was like seven to six was the final.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I remember that Meridian and Forks went down and scored
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: right off the bat, and I don't know if they
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: missed the extra pointer, got blocked orf they went for
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: two and didn't get it or whatever. And then you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Ferndal or Meridian scored later. And then Forks was threatening
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: late in the game, and and I believe it was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: an interception or a batted down pass by Doug Miller
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. Doug Miller, who's
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: now an assistant, was sea home and that was it,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and they they they got all the way to State
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: championship that game and lost to Omac. But that was
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the game the rare. The reason I remember that so
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: much is they basically ran power Ride the whole game
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Forks did and they gave it to a guy named
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Pat Bennett who was about six three, two forty five.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They gave it him like forty something times, and that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was the whole game plan was you just had to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: stop that guy, and they couldn't stop him on the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: first drive. It was just go down score and he
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: ended up playing linebacker at Wazoo. And and uh so, yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they were, you know they were. They were one day
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: back then, or it might have even been two way
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: at that time. Uh then there was some stuff, you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Meridian they all jumped up to tow A for a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: short time and came back down. But but yeah, they
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: are two b now. I don't know much about them now.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But Meridian's playing you know, they're playing some really good football.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I mean they won their first two games, uh and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: then lost by just one against a four A team
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: last week. There's a lot of playmakers, a lot of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: experience on the line. I hope, I hope health is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is good, especially when you play against a bigger, stronger
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: team than you know, the week before that can bang
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: up a little bit, so going into this week wet
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to see. But yeah, I think this is a good
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: one for Meridian and another kind of long road trip.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Seems like Meridian is is traveling quite a bit to
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: beginning this season.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really getting the old bus legs or you know
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: what I mean, like, yeah, right, my goodness. I mean
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: just I mean there's been a lot of travel so far,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: actually been a lot of level for quite a few teams. Yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: there has I mean Nooksack Valley, who's right back on
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the road again this week.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I mean they've really put on some some miles. Yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a game, Tyler. This is one
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of those ones where there's almost not really much for
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: us to talk about because Forks is kind of out
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: there and they are at the as you said, the
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: two B level, and now they've had some success recently
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: at the two B level, which is kind of saying
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: something because that league that they're in is tough many
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I mean some really tough teams with you know the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: NAPA Vines and the the Adna's and you know, all
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: those teams basically on that like I five corridor, whatever
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: you want to call it down there. I mean it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: some good football, man, Like, let me tell you that
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: is some really really good football. But yeah, Meridian two
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and one Forks one and two, five pm out there
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: at Forks High School down at Kirkby Field. Kirkby is
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: at Kirkby Field, Kirkby Stadium, Kirkby Field Field. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Kirkby Field down there at Burlington Edison High School. See
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: home two and one traveling to take on Burlington Edison
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: one and two. That is a seven pm game, Tyler. Yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Burlington Edison a team that has struggled last year and
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: obviously one and two to start the season. But we
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: know that they do have some talent and uh, we'll see, uh,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: we'll see them for the first time this year, I believe, right.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I know we saw them against Squalk and week all
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the time, right, Yeah, it seems like a long time ago. Yeah, now,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And there was a lot of things to like. I mean,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: there's they're definitely improved from last year. I think that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: was you know, that was kind of the only way
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you could go was up from last year. It was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: just a nightmare year for them, but they won last week,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and they're there big rivalry game against Mount Vernon that's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: kind of like their Lindon Ferndale. You know, it's two
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: teams that are in different classifications, but I think they
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: play each other every year. It's always a big rivalry thing.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And so, you know, I think they're much improved, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: see home with a great win over Lakewood last week
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: where everything they did was fantastic. I mean, offense, defense,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: special teams was all way above average, and so I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, this is one where I don't
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: think it's I don't think it's too much of a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: step down from Lakewood. And now they're going on the road,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: so it might be another, you know, kind of that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: kind of game. And if Seahome needs to just keep
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: doing what they're doing, they can't relax on this one.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: They can't let off the throttle. They just have to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: go and play. And if they play like they did
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: against Lakewood, then this should not be a problem. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it was. It's kind of like, you know, I heard
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of people talk over last week like and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: we're just kind of all waiting for the Seahome offense
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to explode. You know, they scored fourteen in the first
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: week seven. In the second week, it's like, we know
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: they can do this. They have the guys to do this.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And then when it happened last week, scoring forty eight points,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it was like okay, and we all, you know, everyone
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: kind of breeze and looks at each other like okay, okay,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this is what's supposed to happen. That's this is the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: team that we know. And so if they can whatever
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they did that that that whatever button they pushed or
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: whatever they whatever they found, if they can keep that going,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: then it should be pretty successful for the rest of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler, And I forgot to mention too, Roland Kirkby Field.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You're right, remember, okay, I I I always try to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: say the whole thing right right right, Roland Kirkby Field.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Make sure I get that in there, Roland. Yeah. Anyway,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: seven pm down there at Roland Kirkby Field to see
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: home two and one burn Tannison one and two Archbishop Murphy.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: They are coming to town three and oh to take
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: on to the Bellingham BayHawks oh and three seven pm
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Civic Stadium. Tyler, this Archbishop Murphy team, you know, just
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago they didn't win a game
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: all year, I believe, And here they are now they're
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they're back, humming along like the team that we kind
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: of know. I mean, they've always been really tough, good
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: you know a lot of athletes, but a couple of
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: years down a little bit and looks like they're definitely back.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, who put the schedule together for the BayHawks.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Here you got Anti Chordus and then Archbishop back to back.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: That's tough.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: But no, linen, But I tell you what, there's some
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: things to like about the match up here for for Bellingham.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And I'll explain why they've had some issues in the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: secondary as far as just injuries go. They've had to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: bring up JV kids to start in the secondary. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: mean it's been slim pickens back there where they've had
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to put guys. They had to put certain athletes back
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: there that aren't used to playing that position maybe and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it just you know, and then it and then now
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it starts to weaken other positions. Archbishop is not going
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to throw the ball, and you know they were down
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: early to squalk them by scores and they only threw
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the ball twice the whole game. So their game plan
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: even if they're down is to run the ball. And
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Bellingham's biggest strength, if you take every single aspect of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: their game, it's defending the run. So I you know,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that's that's an interesting thing about this game. I know
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: it's three and zero and zero to three, and I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: think I think Archbishop is heavily favored and for every
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right that they should be. But I'm just saying in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a it's a good matchup. It's a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, as far as what the BayHawks want to do,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you know, they just need to be able to do
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: something on offense too. They haven't been able to get
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a ton going on offense. I think they've scored three
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: touchdowns this year so far in three games, so they
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you know, you could play great defense, but you got
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to get some points on the board if you want
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to win, and this is gonna be a tough one
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to do that. You know, Archbishop's deep is really good too,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So it's not just their their machine like powerful running game.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But we'll have to see because uh, Bellingham's pretty stout upfront.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So we'll just we'll just have to wait and see
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and you know, if they if if they start pounding
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: them though, and getting seven yards of pop then that's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: just you know, nobody can stop that. So we'll have
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to see. I'll be out there for this game, probably
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: probably be out there for the whole game. It's the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: only game in Walking County on Friday night. So yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: not a lot of place, No, not not a lot
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of jos. I mean, you know, And I was thinking, well,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I could go down to Mount Vernon. It's not very far,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you know, go down to Tyler. Yeah, just head down
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: down to Sultan.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: The funny thing is is all of the games outside
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of the Forks game are actually like not.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: All that far away.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but like Sultan granted falls and a Chordas, I like, yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: they're actually not.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: All that far from you. Barlington Edison there, it's not crazy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm already gonna have people at
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Burlington Edison and Anachordus, so those are kind of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: next closest ones, you know. So I could go to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Mount Vernon, but you know what, Civic Stadium. I haven't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: seen Bellingham in person yet this year, so this will
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: be this will be good to do that and and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: we'll have to see. You know, last year, I think
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: they were oh and three, and I went to see
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: them at home in week four, and I think we
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: all picked against them. They end up winning like fifty
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: four to eight, because that was the game that why
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Stephan started playing and everything just kind of clicked. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, who knows. Maybe they got some new
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: new kids out and we just will just have to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: wait and see. But hopefully, you know, get some of
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: their athletes back that they've been missing and and things
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: will get back on the right track for the BayHawks.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Seven pm, Civic Stadium on Friday night. Archbishop Murphy three
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and oh Bellingham, oh and three Ferndale. They are one
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: and two headed down to Mount Vernon's take on the Bulldogs.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: They are oh and three on the season, seven pm
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Friday Night. There's a Mount Vernon team I saw in
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Week one, and you know, they had some nice pieces,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: but really they just struggled. They looked, they looked kind
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: of out of whack at times. Now understands week one
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: it kind of happens, you know sometimes. Heck, it happened
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to us. I mean we did not play nearly as
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: well week one as I mean week week one we
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: put up six points. Week two we put up forty nine.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Week three, we put up thirty eight. So yeah, it
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: took us a week to get going. But but yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Mount Vernon, you know, they've kind of struggled a lot,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and I mean, from what I know the last decade,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: they've only had a couple of seasons where they were,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you know, real solid teams. But you know, Ferndale zero
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to two to start the season and a nice good
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: win last week. We talked about it, kind of a
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: revenge win last week. But yeah, Ferndale Mount Vernon Tyler, Yeah,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: this is you know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: On the road. Ferndale's had their number for a while,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: like you said, past ten years, you know, probably, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: there's been times when you know, they jump out of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the cause they go up to four A for a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: little bit, they come back down to three A. There
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: was a time kind of in the you know, two
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: thousand and four to two thousand and nine range somewhere
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: in there where they were three A. They were part
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of the Northwest Conference three A, so they would play
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Ferndale every year them in Sidro, I think they were
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: all three at the same time, and Squalkum was for
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a little bit and they came back down. So there's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of history between Mount Vernon and Ferndale going
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I mean going way back to the you know sixties. Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: so uh, but recently Ferndale has definitely had their number.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: You like you were saying you saw them. I was
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: expecting more out of the Bulldogs this year because in
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Week ten last year, yeah, they remember stomped, they stopped
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: see home forty to three, and they looked huge, they
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: looked awesome, they looked athletic. And sometimes when you see
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a big win in Week ten, you kind of go, man,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: maybe this will spill over to next year. No, Blaine
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: had a big week, big big win in Week ten
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: last year and then look what the doing now? So
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I was expecting more. I remember getting that text from
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: you saying that you were down there and you're like, oh,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and I just kind of thought, really, that's interesting. I
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: thought they'd be a little better. I thought they'd be
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: pretty good actually not knowing I couldn't name one player
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: on their team, but just from what I saw in
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Week ten last year. So maybe it's just you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: something's not clicking, or remember there's injuries, or who knows
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: what it is. But Ferndo right now is you know,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: they looked really tough to beat last week, really tough
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to beat. And this talent bung guard train man, he
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is hard to stop and he gets going. And the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: great thing about him too is that, yeah, he can
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: carry the ball twenty twenty five times, get you know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty to two hundred yards, and then
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: he'll turn around and play awesome defense. I mean the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: defense he played last week at defensive end, his new position.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: He basically shut down the option running game that Getchell
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: runs a lot of. And he had three tackles for
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: loss plus a sack. He he you know, when you're the
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: defensive end against option run, it's so much of his
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: assignment football, and there's a lot of times when you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: do your job, you're not going to get the number
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: for it, but you're doing your job to make it
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: so that your team benefits. And he was all over
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: it last week. And so he's just such a great
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: player on both sides of the ball. And he's just
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: clicking right now. There's you know, there's nobody humming like him.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's already over five hundred and fifty yards rushing.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: He's among the leaders and tackles for loss in the county.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I think he's second behind his teammate Jacob Gandy. So
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Ferndale's got a lot of good things happening right now,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: and they're going to look to continue this little mini
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: streak that they're on. If they win it, then it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a little mini streak and see if they can keep
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: going and you know, elevate throughout the rest of the league.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Ferndale one and two Mount Vernon, oh and three seven
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: pm Friday night and down in Mount Vernon Nook Sac
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Valley they hit the road once again. They are three
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and oh headed down to ten on the Tumbwater Thunderbirds.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: They are also three and zero. That's a seven pm
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: game at I believe it sit out and Field. I
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: know it's Tomwater District Stadium. I believe it's sit out
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and Field now, Tyler, I've mentioned it before. If you're
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: headed down that way to the game, get there a
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: little early. Well, get there early for a couple of reasons.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: One because you want to go to Maconi's across the street,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: but also get the chicken Philly and get the chili.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: You'll you'll think me later. And they do have good
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: bathrooms over at Tumwater so don't worry about that. But
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: also go underneath the stadium. So there's only seating on
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: one side there, but go underneath the stadium and take
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: a look around a little bit. There's just tons of
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: t Bird history down there. By the way, they have
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: good popcorn, two really good popcorn at that stadium. I
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: don't know why, but they just like I don't know
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: if they do anything different, but for whatever reason, man,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I always like their popcorn. But yeah, Nooksack Valley Tumwater.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I saw the Thunderbirds last week against east Lake, and
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, that is one of the more
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: impressive two way football teams I have seen in a
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: long time. I mean they are fast, they're physical, they're
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: not very big, or at least they didn't seem like
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: it to be. Maybe some of it's because east Lake
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: was huge, but I'll tell you what, man, they bullied
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and I mean absolutely bullied east Lake for a good
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: chunk of the game. I mean it was it was
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: pretty impressive. They they did some of that stuff Tyler,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: you know where like you call the play, you know, uh,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you know this this on two ready to hit, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: then they run up to the line and they would
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: sprint to the line and then shift the tackle over,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you know, like they would. Everything was really fast. Yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: and there was there was one play where they ran
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a it was just a sweep. The guy gets around
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the corner and just keeps fighting, keeps moving his legs,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, he like bursts out
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: of a couple of tackles. And when I say truck
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: stick Tyler, I mean, oh my goodness, absolute truck stick
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: on this guy. And that was just kind of what
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I saw through. A good chunk of that game was
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: just tom Water playing with a different type of of
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: want you know, they played with just a different mentality,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: and it was it was pretty impressive.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is gonna be a really tough one for
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Knuksack Valley. And I know they've you know, they had
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: such a struggle finding opponents this year. And and I
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: remember exactly where I was when Coach Bartell told me
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: We're playing Tumbwater and I was like what I just
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I was just I couldn't believe it. And I I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: was I was at the state basketball tournament when he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: when he told me, I mean, it was just one
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of those things where I've been thinking about this game
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: for a long time and now it's you know right here,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and you know, I Knuksack's gotta have I mean, nuk
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Sack is fantastic at the one A level, but they
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: have to have a lot of things go their way
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: for things to work out here. It's, uh, it's it's
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: gonna be interesting though, because nuk Sack's one of those
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: teams where they're not gonna be intimidated, you know what
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, Like they're just they're just not they they
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you know, they go and they play and the like
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: they played Lindon out at out in out at Arlington
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: for the like scrimmage stuff, and they they got them.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: They they beat them up pretty good. And you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: but you're trying things and I get that at at
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: these kinds of things, but they're not and they're not
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: going to be intimidated. And that's what's really cool about
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: them and fun and and they have a lot of
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: varsity experience with with a lot of these guys. But man,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: like you said, Tom Waters just machine like and and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I I feel like they're a team that like is
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: not going to be penalized very much. They're not gonna
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like, it's just it's it's
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: just the way football is is and and football is
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: life down there. Man, it's a it's it is different.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: It's a great matchup. I think it's really cool. But
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for the Pioneers to come out
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: on top of this one. They're gonna have to play
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: their best game. Yeah that's I mean, I completely agree
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: with you. But yeah, it's gonna be I mean, I'm
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: intrigued to talk about that one because either it's going
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to be us maybe saying it's kind of what we
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: thought it was going to be, or maybe we are
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: talking about one of the best games of the season, right, Yeah,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you know, you just don't know. I mean, really, it
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: reminds me. It reminds me a lot of two years
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: ago when they played Mountain View in Week one. We
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: were all kind of, well, Mountain View is really good
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and they're at three A school and Nooksack got them
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: like fifteen fourteen yep. I remember kind of like we
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: were kind of like, oh, Okay, this knok Sac team
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: is there. They know how to win now, they had
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the athletes, and so we'll just have to wait and see.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, this you know this will be this
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: would be a fun one.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Nooksack Valley three and oh Tumwater three and oh seven
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: pm down they're Intwater Mount Baker. They are also three
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and zero headed down to Sultan to take on the Turks.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: They are one and two seven pm kickoff, Tyler. Sultan's
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a team. I feel like we talk about them once twice,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: maybe three times a year, but it's always kind of
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: seems like the same thing where we feel really good
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: about the team from Walkam County's chances down there headed
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: down to Sultan.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've played Bellingham recently, They've played Meridian recently. They
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: always seem to latch on with the Walkham County team
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in Week ten. Yeah.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like they played Blaine at some point.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they just they always kind of are there
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and looking for a Week ten opponent. And so there
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: was I don't want to speak out of school here,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember exactly what if it was them
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: or South would be. But when they were going through
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the reclassification, there was a chance that one of those
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: two schools, I can't remember what was going to join
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the one Northwest Conference, but a lot of things had
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: to happen first for that to happen, because then the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Northwest Conference would have six teams, so they could be
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you know, there's never like that bye week. Yes, you know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they're you know, and that's kind of what they wanted,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: but they needed certain things to happen, and it ended
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: up not happening. I can't remember if Sultan was was
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that team, or if it was South would be or
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: who it was, but Sultan used to be in the league.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: They were in the North Cascades Conference from like ninety
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: seven to oh four something like that, so we saw
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of them for a while. That was basically that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: That whole time, I was doing a lot of writing
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: for the Herald, so I covered a ton of Sultan games,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and there's and there's a big time history with Mount
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Baker and Sultan. They played in a few play in
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: games to get to the state tournament. I'll never forget
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: the year two thousand, I was writing for the Herald
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and I was covering some blowout game and I came
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: back and I had found out that Sultan had beat
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Baker twenty to eight, and I just thought what Because
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: it was always like Meridian LC Baker were kind of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the top three, and then the other you know, Nik
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Sack and Blaine, and then in the bottom four were
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: like Sultan, Lakewood, Granite Falls, and South would be And
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: it was rare that one of the non county schools
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: beat one of the county schools, but Sultan got in
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: that year, and Sultan ended up six and three and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: had like the three seed, like they kicked Baker out
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs basically that year, and it was just
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. And I don't think Baker's lost
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: him ever since. And so I think that Lepp still
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: thinks about that game. Yeah, and yeah, so it's there
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is a history for sure, and and Baker's on a
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: roll right now. They're playing really well. They have not
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: allowed a first half touchdown this season, and so they've
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: allowed some touchdowns you know, late in the game, special teams,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: backup stuff like that. But I'm really impressed with how
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the defense is coming out and playing and setting the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: tone early. They've been getting a lot of turnovers, you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and and capitalizing on it. And you know, a good
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: run game always helps a defense stuff like that. So
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: but they haven't been on the road yet all year,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: so this will be the first road trip this would
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: be you know, I don't know if I want to
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: say their toughest opponent coming up, you know, Sultan Hawkinson.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Who knows how that would end up. But but I
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: think Baker's improved a pretty good amount every single week.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: They've already matched their win total from last year.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: So there's some really good things to like here from
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Mount Baker. And and it's not going to be, you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: anything new going down to Sultan for them.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: That is moult Baker three and oh headed down to
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Sultan one and two seven pm on Friday, Blaine three
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and oh sounds wild to say Blaine three and oh
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the finding Andy Olsen's over there. They are headed down
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: that way also, but they're gonna go a little bit shorter,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: not not quite as far. They're going to go to
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Grantited Falls, who is also three and oh, which I
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: feel like, were they like three and o last year,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: maybe even a little bit better, like a little further
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: than three and oh, Like this is two years in
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: a row. We're talking about Granted Falls having a pretty
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: good record, but Blaine Granted Falls both three and oh
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: seven pm in Granted Falls Black and Orange against black
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and orange Tyler.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember back in the nineties seeing them play
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: against each other on Halloween too, So a lot of
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: black and orange going on. Yeah. And and last last
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: year they were one of the better Grant Falls teams
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that they've had in school history. They had that really
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: good quarterback transfer like Stevens.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Kaylon leaplont I believe is his name.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so that really changed kind of people's thinking
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it just about Grant Falls. I mean, that used to
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: be the game where Okay, you can go there, you
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: can get some subs in, you get the win, go home,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: bring the full roster. Yeah. So but this is a
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: little different. And this year they have some speed on
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the outside. They're they're they're three and oh oh, things
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: are going well. Last year they did lose in Week
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: one to Meridians, so they didn't start three and oh,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: but I think they had a pretty good record. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: they ended up playing you know, I think they had
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: like a little crossover on Week ten with Knoksec Valley
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and that didn't go well for them. I want to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: say it was like forty nine to two. But yeah,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Granted Falls is definitely a team that is not the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Grant Falls that we remember Blaine same thing. So I,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I look, you know, and one of the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: assistants that Blaine contacted me goes, when's the last time
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Blaine went four and O? And so I was like,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: oh boy, because I had to do the research and
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: find out it was nineteen ninety the last time they
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: went three and oh, well now they are three no,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So I dug way back, nineteen seventy nine was the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: last time they were four and oh luggets man. Yeah,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and that's coming off the state title, state championship the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: night they the year before. So they rode some of
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: their main guys that you know, were still on that team.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: They were very senior heavy that year before, but they
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: went from Kurt Cramey to Burt Cramey at quarterback, and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Tony Blady's the leading rusher, was still there, so and
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: they had a couple of linemen that were still there,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: David Wheeterspoon and Rob McCallister and stuff like that, so
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: they were able to still kind of have some holdovers
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and they started the year out great. I think they
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: lost to Linden in Week five and they ended up
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: being eight and one that year, and it was just
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, that's only one team goes to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and it ended up being Linden, I think.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: And then Linden won it all the year after so,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: and then Blaine just kind of started to fall a
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: little bit after that. They had a rough you know,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: decade there until the nineties came and around they did okay.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: But it's been a while and Blaine is looking good.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I think these are two kind of different teams. I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: think Blaine is gonna want to, you know, count it down,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: your throat, run heavy, all that stuff, get after it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: On defense, they got those two dynamic defensive ends number
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: one and two in the county back sacks, they can
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: really really put some pressure on you. And granted falls
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is gonna want to use the whole field, They're gonna
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: spread it out four wide, you know, go horizontal stuff
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: like that. So if they use a quick passing game
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and they're in the shotgun, it's gonna be harder to
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: put pressure on them. But if you can get pressure
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and you can cause some arrant throws, it's going to
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: force it in turnovers stuff like that. But you're gonna
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: see the ball being thrown all over the place here
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna see Blaine want to just take the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: air out of the ball when they have it. So
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: so two different different styles and it should be a
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: fun one. This Blaine team is really believing in themselves
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: and they have every right to be right now.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Blaine three and oh, Granted Falls three and oh down
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: in Granted Falls seven pm on Friday, Linden three and oh, Tyler,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of three and oh and three and
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: O's here. Yeah, you're right and one three and oh
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: on zero three. We've got three Nooksacks Ali, Tome Water, Blaine,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Granted Falls, and Linden and a Chordus, which is the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: one we're going to talk about right now. All three
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: of those games are three and o versus three and oh. Yeah,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Lyndon Lions three and oh, Anacordus Seahawks three and oh
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: seven pm in Anacordas Tyler, we've already kind of talked
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: about him just a little bit, but yeah, Anachordus defending
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: state champs Lyndon. I mean, obviously they've been there quite
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: a few times. This maybe the game of the year
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: as far as like preseason on paper goes.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the one, you know, statewide week four.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's some big ones in four
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: A and stuff like that, and there always are, but
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: as far you know, obviously, as far as two A goes,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: this is the big one where you know, the last
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: two state champions and a lot of guys that played
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: on both those teams, and it's it's become a healthy rivalry.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I'll just put it that way in all sports too.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, man, the basketball game that was at Linden
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: was I have never seen the parking lot that packed
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: for a basketball game. I mean it was crazy. I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: had to park so far away to get into that game,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and and it was it was. I mean I remember
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: standing in line for that one and there were kids
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: behind me going Who's Who's Who's playing tonight and they
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: were like someone else said Linden and a chordas, oh okay,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: like they they're just there because they knew it was
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the place to be. And baseball too, I mean, big
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: time rivalry and baseball with you know, you know you
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: win this, you go to state losers loseing, you know,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: like seeding and stuff like that. I mean, so let's
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: become a big time rivalry in all these sports, and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: of course in football. I mean, you know, two years
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: ago Linnen got them. I don't remember the exact score,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: but I think they went by about ten. And then
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: last year it was a single digit win for an
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: a Chordis. It was a low scoring game. I had
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: to be the lowest amount of point I think. I
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: think it was like fifteen to eight something like that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I think that was by far the lowest amount of
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: points Ante Chorda scored all season fifteen points in a game.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And and there's just there's things about this that if you,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: if you want to understand like really good coaching and
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: scheme and stuff like that, watch this game.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Like if you if you know a lot about football
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and you and you want to see how you combat
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: certain things and why and all that, this one's one
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: for you because such great coaching on both sides where
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: they're gonna do certain things and they're gonna hold on
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: to certain things and then do it when.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: They need it, and it's just gonna be this is
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: gonna be a crazy game. It's gonna be an awesome game.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: You know. Mikayla I saw her in August and she's like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you want me to, you know, give you a list
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: of games do you want to just tell me which
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: games to go to? And I said, well, we'll we'll,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll figure it out. She goes, I just
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: want to go to Annecy to London, you know, like
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: she like that's already on her like rad I was like, yeah, absolutely.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: You know I remember last year She's like, I want
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to see Anna coordus Lindon and I want to see
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Linden Christian Noksak. I said, yeah, absolutely so, and she
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: did make a point, She's like, I want to go
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: to a game at Baker in a game at Blaine,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: because she hadn't been to a game at either of
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: those places yet she did get to go to a
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Blaine the Blaine renting game, and so she's gonna find
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: a game to go to at Mount Baker. And I
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: think at that point and then she'll be it, so
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: we'll have seen one at all the stadiums. So, but
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: this is just gonna be who It's gonna be a
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: good one man, I mean it's I don't think it's
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be like a twenty point you know win on
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: either side. I think it's going to be really close.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I am going to say that I believe
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Anna Chordis has the better athletes. I mean, I think
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that probably even goes without saying, but there's just something
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: about that Lindon mystique. You know, it's it's even on
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the road, it's it's it's something to to see and
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: and they always, always, always will make it close.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Linden and a Cordus three and O three and O.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: There's not really much else to be said here. Yeah,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I mean I can't wait for this one, Tyler, I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: really can't.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just, yeah, just just just go to the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: game and have fun and Kpug will be out there
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: doing their Friday night lights. They'll be there at three o'clock.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: They're gonna set up, do everything, all that stuff, and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: so you know, go down there, give them a hard
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: time and.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Make some signs that nobody can see it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was crazy because like they like they had
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: their kind of set up for all the weeks they're
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: gonna they were gonna what games they were gonna go to.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: And I think that I don't even know if this
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: one was on the schedule, and they you know, they
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: kind of changed it up. And you know, it's tough
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: because a lot of times you go where the sponsors
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: are right, you have to absolutely go to certain games,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and I understand all that, but they're really trying to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: change things around and go to the big games and
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: there they'll figure out the sponsorship thing later. So so
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I like that they're up in their game and doing
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, and it was fun to join them
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: last week, and I don't I don't see myself going
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: out there this week unless I head down at like
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: two thirty and then join them for like an hour
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and then drive back up PA Civic, and then I
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past me. But there might be some
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: territle stuff going on on Friday, so we'll see if
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the weather is decent. But man, it's just I just
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited because this is gonna be I hope
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: Mikayla's got her phone charged all the way up because
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I want I want updates. I want updates on the drive,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: every drive. I am so excited about this one.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: You know, you know how I like Game Day, how
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: they have you know, like former players come back and
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: be pickers and stuff. You know, Yeah, yeah, who would
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: you pick if if you were doing that setting it up?
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Like who would you try to bring back if you
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: were setting it up with Linden.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: You know, it would be fun with this one. It'd
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: be fun to have Andy Moore come out there. That's
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a Max Moore's dad and Cooper Moore's dad because he
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: played at Ana Chortus and his kids played at Lindon.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: See, that's perfect.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: And he'd be fun to have him out there and
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: see who he's gonna say is gonna win. His kids
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: don't play there anymore. Yeah, you know, they both they
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: both grab there's still some loyalty.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I mean it's Linden.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So he'd be a fun one. But uh yeah,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just oh, man, I'd like to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: see brick. Oh well, well he's gonna be like eighty
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: five nothing Linden.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he's going to run out and set
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: the balls on the field and away he go.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Absolutely.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: That's Friday Night. Tyler. Eight games on Friday Saturday mentioned
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: earlier doubleheader if you will, three pm and a seven pm.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: The three pm game Lakeside of Nine Mile Falls the Eagles.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: They are coming to town one and two to take
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: on Linden Christian the Lynx. They are also one and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: two Tyler. This this is a game of two teams
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: that have had quite a bit of success recently.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but not so much this year, which is just
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: kind of weird. When I saw the record for Lakeside
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Nimouth fall on one in two, I just kind of thought, Wow,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: that's that's a little crazy. I mean, I don't know
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of the teams on that side of the mountains,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and so, I mean the records of their opponents are
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: five and six, so that kind of makes me think, Okay,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: they must have had a lot of seniors last year,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: and they did. Yeah, so they beat Pullman seven to six,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: They lost to West Valley Spokane thirty eight to seven,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: and they lost to a team from Idaho, Bonner's Ferry
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: by one point. So yeah, I just I don't know.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be to and then they gotta,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: you know, take the long trip over three o'clock game.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Do they come the night before? I don't think so.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna come during the day. That's gonna
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: get a tough one.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: That's a what a four five six, probably like this
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: a little over six hour drive. I mean, I don't know.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: It's always weird, like the teams from Eastern Washington. They
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: seem they seem like they are more into not staying
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: the night, right you know.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's why this is like a
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: three pm like they're thinking, that's perfect, we can drive
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: their play drive back.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And so that's the thing. So, like you know,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: last week we played Lewiston of Idaho. That's a long
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: drive from Lewiston. I mean that's Lewison south of Pullman,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: you know. And they left and I think ten thirty
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: in the morning on Friday, they came over, played the game,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: and then they actually decided to stay the night. Yeah,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: And and somebody told me it had something to do
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: with the bus driver. The bus driver legally had to
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: not drive more, and so they decided to stay the
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: night and drove back the next day. That to me
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: makes some sense because there's no school that next day,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, whereas.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: A seven pm game, than I have seen why you
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: would do that.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, and that's exactly what it was, right, you know.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, it's interesting, but yeah, I mean
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Lakeside of Nine Mile Falls, they've it's one of those
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: it's one of those interesting places because it's just far
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: enough outside Spokane that like more and more people are
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: kind of moving out that way, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: kind of like Mead and Mount Spokane. You know, there
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: wasn't a whole lot in that area fifteen twenty years ago,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and it's getting more and more. And it's the same
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: thing as you had east from Spokane. You know, it
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: used to be the furthest east was I believe Central Valley, well,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Central Valley, East Valley. They're kind of like in the
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: same realm there. But now you've got Ridgeline which is
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: between Central Valley and the border. You know, it's kind
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: of growing a little bit. So one of those teams
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: with Lakeside and Nine Mile Falls where people start thinking,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: this is a program that could be pretty good here
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: for a little while now, you know. And so I
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's going to be interesting.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: But yeah, then when they play at home during the day, yeah,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: they always do like really well, I was going to
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: say that to it, like this feels like a game
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to me that like Lynn and Christian, like this is
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: a game that.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: They win, you know what I mean, Like yeah, oh yeah,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying I'm gonna pick them, although I
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: think I might have, but this is a this is
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: a game that you just you feel like in the
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: in the in the recent history of Linden Christian that
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: they win these games, you know, and and you know,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: maybe they should have a little bit of confidence coming
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: into this one, even though you know they're coming off
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: a tough one, you know. So I don't know, it's
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: gonna be interesting to see though.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that they have a lot of first
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: year starters, and you start getting into like week four,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: now it's like, Okay, these guys have played enough under
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: the lights. These guys have gotten enough experience, you got,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: They've been playing against some big time teams, big time dudes.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: And I think that the real LC is going to show,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: like like the Elsie that we're kind of expecting is
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: gonna pop up in this game, and I think they're
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: going to take care of business. I really like their
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: passing game right now, what they got going on. Eli
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Mayberry is just so accurate with everything. I mean, he's
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: just he just he just throws darts out there. I
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: mean it's crazy because I qualify you know, once you've
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: thrown over one hundred and twenty five passes in your career,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: then I say, okay, that's when you can qualify for
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: completion percentage and records and stuff like that. And he's
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: two passes away from that because he played a lot
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: last year, a lot more than people think, and so
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and he's been throwing the ball a ton this year
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: and he's like at sixty four percent completion percentage. So
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: he's he's very very accurate. And these are not like little,
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: you know, a ton. There's not a ton of these
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: like dump offs that you're like behind the line of
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: scrimmage and stuff. This is this is you know, ten
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: yards down the field, fifteen yards down the field. He's
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: just very very accurate. So I like what they've got
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: going with that defense has been playing really well. A
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: lot of sophomores. I love what Eli Stamps has done
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: as an inside linebacker and you know as a young
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: guy too. And so I think that what we're expecting
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: to happen is going to show up on Saturday, and
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to take care of business.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: That is Lakeside of Nine Mile Falls one and two
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Lynnen Christian one and two, three pm at Linn and Christian.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: The final game of the weekend, Tyler seven pm. Civic Stadium,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Lakewood Cougars. They are coming to town. They are also
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: one and two taking on Squalkum the Storm. They are
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: two and one on the season. That is a seven
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: pm game, Tyler, you might even find your way out
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: to this one.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very very possible. We'll see how far along
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: with the stories I am by that time. I would
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: like to go out there. Have not seen Squalkum in
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: person yet, and yeah, I just think that I, you know,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I want to see you know, I want to see
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: these guys because there's there's some big time players for
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Squalicum that I want to see in person this year.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, they got It was
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: a tough one last week. They were up fourteen nothing
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: early against Archbishop and then then they kind of said, Okay,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: no more of that. We're not going to have any
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: more mistakes. We're just going to do this and do
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: this and do this, and they're it's gonna be tough
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: for them to stop. But there were still some really
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: bright moments for the Storm. I mean, Locke Fungatua on
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: defense is just flying around. I love that, you know,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Cole Burke through three touchdown passes last week he's he's
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: just so cool under pressure and throws a good deep
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: ball and and you know, Ezra Nichols on the line
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: on both sides has been good. There's just some really
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: fun pieces to watch, and I just want to be
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: there for it. I want to see it. You know,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: I saw Lakewood last week and there's a lot of
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you know, there was you know, there's a lot of
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball around stuff like that. But there was
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes too, And I think Squalakum is
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: at that point right now in the season where they
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: can take advantage of a lot of mistakes and this
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: could be a this could be another big win for Squalic.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I'm playing their you know, fourth league game in a row,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: and if they can win their third out of out
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: of four, that's a huge thing when you start talking
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: about Round of thirty two and stuff like that.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, starting three and one in league plays a really
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: nice way to start. I mean, there's only one way
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: that you could be better. Four and oh yeah, Lakewood
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: one and two, squal come two and one seven pm
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Civic Stadium on Saturday, Tyler. That is ten games. Now
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: we need to talk about the weather here because the
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: people need to know. Am I dressing up warm and
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: I and I can I break out the shorts for
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: one more weekend? What are we talking about here? For that,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: we head over to our guy Randy Small from Wakam
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: County Weather. You can find him online Facebook dot com, backslash,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Watcom County Weather, or his website is Watcom County wx
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: dot com. Or Randy's got a forecast for us for
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: the weekend. Go ahead, Randy tager Away.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: Hello, this is Randy Small, Walkham County Weather, and just
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: thinking back the first few weeks of the football season,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: We've had some heat, some sunshine, some pre sip, and
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: some kind of partly cloudy, fairly good conditions, so it's
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: kind of been a mixed bag. And I think this
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: weekend Friday night and Saturday games look to be just
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: about dry and really nice weather overall. We got one
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: game out of the area. I think it's Meridian at Forks.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not looking closely at that one, but the rest
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: in the county and in the on the west side
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: should be dry and probably tempts in the low sixties,
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: upper fifties to start at kickoff. Probably some clouds possibly
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: on the Saturday games. Maybe more sunny, although getting dark
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: on Friday night, so clear with a few clouds still
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: hanging around Friday night and kind of a mixed you know,
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: partly sunny on Saturday. So overall, I don't think weather's
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: going to be much of a factor at all for
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: this weekend's games. Okay, I hope you have a great
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: time pulling your favorite team, and uh, it looks like
• 50:04

  Speaker 1: kind of seen it all. And then his you know,
• 51:21

  Speaker 1: in a person. So reached out to him. He was
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: glad to do it. So we love having these former
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: coaches on to be guest pickers.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Now, Tyler, I don't know if he wants me to
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: tell this story. I don't know if I've ever told
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: this story on here. I'm pretty sure i've told you
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: before that the head coach at Bothel where I coach,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Tom Bainter, played at Western, and he was there with
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: the with Kevin Beeson. Yeah, and one night we were
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: over at coach Bayner's house and his wife, Christina Bainter,
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: who I believe they were maybe even high school sweethearts.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but they've been around for a long time.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: They've been together for a very long time. And yeah,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: they're telling me a story about, you know, a little
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: get together, a little college get together there at Western,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: and apparently Kevin Beeson got hungry and was eating a
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: block of cheese out of the freezer. Now, tylery, if
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: I told you that story right now, knowing him, would
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: you believe it?
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so would I And I believed it one hundred
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: percent on the spot, and he may have confirmed it
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: through text message. That being said, Tyler, let's take a
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: look at the standings for the pick Ems Joe consensus
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: as he should be in theory, even though he's never won.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think our pickham he is twenty three and
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: six on the season, Tyler, you, Jeff Wood, myself and
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: the guest twenty two and seven, and Michayla she's bringing
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: up the rear right now twenty one and eight. Everybody's
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: right in it. I mean, usually somebody's gone a little
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: off the rails or you know, the guests with you know,
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Jeff Bearden in week one, Usually somebody's a little out there,
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: but just two games separating, you know, so far, so
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: everybody's right in that being said, this week everybody is
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: picking Seahome, Archbishop Murphy, Ferndale, Meridian, Tumwater, Mount Baker, Blaine,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: and Squalicum. Only Mikayla is picking against Lynden Christen. So
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: she's taken lakes out of nine mile falls yep. And
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: then I don't even know if she knows where that is,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: but she's picking them. Although you know what, Tyler, on
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: the side of the lake, Yeah, yeah, I mean not
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: very many people might be yeah, right down the street
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: from some nine miles worth of falls apparently, Yeah, that
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: being said, Mikayla and Tyler, you guys are both picking
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Linden to beat Anna Chordis.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Now.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: It's it's always hard picking against Lynden. It is. And
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what if if you guys get that win,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: it's a good win to have. It's a real good
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: win to have because you guys will both pick up
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: one on Joe off that one too.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a it's a it's such a tough one.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: And you know, really, when I look at it, it
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: really comes down to the senior quarterback versus a sophomore quarterback.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: You know, when I whenever I whenever I look a game,
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I don't like you know, sometimes in the NFL, when
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh it's a this is a pick them,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: you go, well, you just go with the home team,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: especially like on Monday night or Sunday night, always go.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: With the home Yeah, the fans are going to be
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: jacked up and.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but in high school it's not as important to me.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think what I think is really important if
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: it's close is are the quarterbacks and the head coaches.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: And when when I look at the head when I
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks, you know, even though Harrington's a
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: great quarterback, but he's just a sophomore and and Hepner
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: is just he's seen it all, you know. And I
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: picked against Lennon in Week one, and it was Heppner
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: against a quarterback making his debut, and I should have
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: looked at it that way. And Bullyack played well. He
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: did throw a couple of touchdown passes, but there was
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: there were a few fumbles. There was you know, in
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: your face throw where it was intercepted, and there were
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: some you know, there were some moments that of first
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: year varsity quarterback makes in that game, and that's what
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: was the difference when Lindon won that. And I just
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, it's really hard to pick
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: against Lyndon, like you said, but I've seen Anacortis on film,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: and they they are they look like a college team.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: They're so fast and so good and so just like
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: off the charts, great on defense. But man, it's hard
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: because I I want to like, if they would have
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: played like Tumwater in Week one or something, and I
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: would have seen that film, that would have told me
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: a lot more. But oh, it's gonna be it's gonna
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: be so great, and I just thought, you know what,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: we're all so close in the pick up that making
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: you know, if I fall back a game, it's early.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: You know, you got to take some chances, so I do.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would say that Anti Cordis is the
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: favorite here, but I just, you know, there's just something
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: about that senior quarterback.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: I really like, Well, I think if this is Vegas,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I think you're getting good money, you know for your
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: pick here.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right right, So I don't.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Know, it's going to be interesting. I'm excited to hear
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: about that game. I mean, I'm excited until you know,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: I find out what the score is and it's like,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: all right, well maybe it is, maybe it isn't you know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: who knows, but yeah, yeah, that is the pick'ems again,
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: no sponsor on the pick'ms. So somebody should do it.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know who, but somebody should do it. Fantasy, Tyler,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: let's talk fantasy here. I gotta win last week to
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: bring it to one end two, which means you are
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: going to pick first here, and let's just give another
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: rundown really quickly, because maybe there's somebody listening for the
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: first time. Tyler and I are each going to pick
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: a quarterback, a running back, a receiver, which could also
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: include tight end, an offensive line, and by that you're
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: basically picking the offense, but we're calling it the offensive line,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: a defense, a front seat, which could be in a
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: defensive lineman or a linebacker, in a back seven, which
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: could be a linebacker or a defensive back. We will
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: also pick a kicker, and we will do what is
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: it called snake draft Tyler. Yeah, So basically Tyler's gonna pick,
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: then I get too, then he gets two, then I
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: get too, and we go back and forth until we
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: have picked all what is it eight positions or teams,
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to say here. That being said, Tyler,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: you get first picked because I won last week, So
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: go ahead, do you got first one.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I really like Berndale's chances here, and I really like
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: the way they've been moving the ball and it has
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: not just been past a running game. I mean, Boyak
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: was really on this on the money last week. Throw
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: a deep ball to Kennerley for a touchdown. I like
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: what they can do throwing it to Nielsen out of
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: the backfield, Lenson out of the backfield. So I'm gonna
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: take Ferndale's offensive line here. I just think there's a
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: good chance for a fifty burger here, and that'll just
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: start the week out right. I gotta get I gotta
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: get two games ahead of you quickly.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah. And that's probably a pretty solid choice. What
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping for is a lot of short fields and
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: field goals. Let's see here, I will take. I'm gonna go.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: I think Squalcum is gonna have a big week. I'm
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: gonna go with the running back of Squalicumb Marcus Nixon
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: going against Lakewood seven pm out there at Civic on Saturday,
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go a receiver here.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: And I think even though it's grass and grass kind
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: of scares me. I'm gonna go our guy Andre Watson
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: down there at Seahome, going down to Burlington to Edison.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: I'm expecting a big one out of him because I
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: think there's gonna be maybe a little bit more of
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: a key on Nolan Wright this week. Yeah.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a great that's a great call.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: And and I tell you what, theo Quiggle has been
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: having some big games recently. He's got more yards than
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Watson does and I think that teams are going to
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: have to start kind of paying a little more attention
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: to him as well, So that'll open things up for
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Watson and of course Nixon. I mean, yeah, he's he
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: seems to put out numbers every week, and he's been
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: doing it forever. He's been doing it longer than we've
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: been doing the fantasy. Uh So I'm gonna go quarterback here,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: and I look it over the games and stuff like that.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: It always is interesting to see the matchups, and you know,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you don't want to pick, you know, maybe a blowout
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: because they quarterback and not might might not play the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: full game. So I'm gonna go Eli Mayberry here. I
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: talked about how accurate he is. I really really like
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: you know that what what what? What one thing I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: really like is in this case anyways, is that, you know,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: the run game has kind of been struggling, so they've
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: been using the pass game a lot, and they're probably
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: averaging more pass attempts than any team this year. They're
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: probably they might be the only team in Walking County
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: that throws it more than fifty percent of the time.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: And so I I'm gonna ride that and I'm gonna
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: go Eli Maber at quarterback, and then I'm gonna instead
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: of looking at a defensive player, I'm gonna look at
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: a defense as a whole. And I think I'm gonna
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: go with the Murdy and Trojan defense here. Early game
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be you know, that first drive might be tough,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: you know, bus legs. You know, if they can just
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: hold them there, even just just a field goal, I
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: think the rest of the game they can. They can
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: do some good things. I really like, you know, the
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: defensive coaches that they have, the things that they see
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: on film, what they can what they can decipher and
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: and and say, okay, now, you know, they can coach
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: them up during the week and have them ready, and
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I think I think the Trojans will be ready. They
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: fly around to the ball. Kelly Gray gets a tough
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: of tackles for loss. Xavier Parent's been outstanding at linebacker.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I knew he was gonna do something big.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I just knew that he was going to emerge this year,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: and it's been at linebacker. He's just been all over
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: the place, and so that's been a lot of fun
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: to watch. And of course Landon Downey and you know,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: Jager Fife knocked down three passes last week, and they're
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: just doing a lot of good things on defense, So
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick them ridy in defense.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Well, you pretty much leave me with the two picks
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: for the defense, and I think I am gonna go
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Fisher Hall the front seven. I know he's been really
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: racking up tackles this year big time. And another guy
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: that I don't know that we've picked him at all
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: this year, and we probably picked him once or twice
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: last year at different times. I'm gonna go, although it
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: probably would have been on offense. I'm gonna go Colby
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Ship for my back seven.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are two really active players all over the field.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Colby Ship converted from safety to linebacker. He's still when
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: there are times when you know Colin Davis needs to
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: come out stuff like that, he'll go back and play
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: safety so he can do a little bit of both.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: So whatever position he plays, he still falls under back
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: seven for you, which is perfect. But he's really really active.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I mean he's and I think he's being I think
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: he's his role has emerged as a defender because he's
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: not playing as many snaps on offense as he used
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: to so he's really able to do that. Same with
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: fisher Hall, you know was you know, he would use
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: to have, you know, eight to ten carries a game.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Now it's just hey, you're a linebacker, go and make plays.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: And he does. And I tell you, what if you're
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: getting a cold like you were saying, you know, you know,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: your the back of your throat and stuff like that. Yeah,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, the two things that always help for me
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: or Fisherman's friends and.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Hall's Oh geez, Tyler.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: So I mean this is the guy for you. I'm
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: telling you this will turn your cold around.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I just, oh, come on, that's good. No, I mean
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: he kind of is. But I just don't want to
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: give you credit for anything here, okay. I I mean
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: that's just so ridiculous, Tyler. You yeah, good, pick a kicker,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: would you?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah? Well, I you know, kicker is the only
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: position left. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go with my guy,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Enoch Smith at Mount Baker. Uh you know, I see
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: another I I what's that?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: I said? It's two weeks in a row for him.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you had him last week and and uh, I'm
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: gonna go with him. And I you know, the the
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: offense has been putting up a lot of points, and
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: coach Leap is not shy about going for field goals
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: here and there. So I have a feeling he's gonna
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: put up his first field goal of the year and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: uh and get some more extra points. You know, when
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I called that last week with Grady Evans, it happened.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm kind of talking into existence here. So
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Enoch Smith will be my kicker, and uh, I picked
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Eli Mayberry at quarterbacks, so I'm going to go with
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: the cousin Boyce robertson a wide receiver. He went. He
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: had one hundred and ninety one yards receiving in week two,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty three last week. You know, I've
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: been updating the record book on walkompreps dot com. I'd
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: always have the top fifteen for every single category and
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: I and those are two of the top fifteen receiving
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: games in Linden Christian history, and wow, you know. And
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: so he's he's putting up big numbers right out the bat,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: and I don't see him slowing down at all. He's
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: just so the body control that he has, he catches everything.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to go off again. I would
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: expect another seven eight catches over one hundred and fifty yards.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: He is emerging into the big time playmaker that the
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Links need right now.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: Alrighty, well, I've got I've got O line in defense,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: and then I've got QB and kicker. So I think
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to double up with my offensive line here
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: and pick Squalicum. I have Marcus Nixon. I feel like
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: he's just gonna have such a big week and and
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to double up here defensively. I guess
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: maybe in a way double up as well. I'm gonna
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: go with I'm gonna go see home here. I feel
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: like this is a good opportunity for them this week
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: against Burlington Edison. I think they're gonna I think they're
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: gonna come away with with something real big here. Defensively
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: for the Mariners, Yeah, you.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Know, Colby Chambers has been playing so well as a
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: defensive back, and I think he's due for an interception
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: and maybe even a pick six. They're really opportunistic, and
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: you know fin sites Greg Wires a defensive tackle going
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: in and making plays. Of course, we talked about Fisher Hall,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: but Carl Bach right next to him, are just such
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: a huge one to two punch at inside linebacker, and
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: they are a lot of fun to watch. And yeah,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: squal come offensive line. I mean, you know, they got
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: coach Steven Ayers over there, who's one of the best
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: there is. I mean, he's he's he's seen it all
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: he was. I mean he if he didn't have the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: concussion problems at Wazoo, he'd be he would have played
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: in the league for sure. And he's such a great
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: offensive line coach. And and still I still holds the
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Walking County shot put record. I think close to sixty
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: five feet. Yeah, and that is Yeah, you're talking like
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: collegiate level shot up there.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: That's a truck on it right there.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Man, this this would have been your dude, man, All
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: state linemens, state champion wrestler, heavyweight and then and then
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: the best you know shot but guy in Walking County history,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: this is this is your this is your kind of
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: athlete right here. And he coaches head, he helps the
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: offensive coaches the offensive line out squalk him. So that's
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: a good pick. I'm gonna go I'm gonna double up two.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Talon Bung guard at running back, I
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I think one of us is gonna keep
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: picking him until he has an off game. And I
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: just don't see an off game right now. He is,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: he's got this look in his eye. Man, when I've
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: seen him. I saw him over the summer, saw him
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: at practice, and he's just got that he's just got
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: that look like I'm just gonna destroy right now. And
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: he's really transfer his body, gained like twenty pounds of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: muscle and he's just running so hard and it's a
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: lot of fun to see. So I'm gonna take tell
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: him bung guard at running back and all I have
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: is defensive players left, ye, and I'm gonna go Blake
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Kureski at front seven. You know, changed from linebacker to
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: defensive end this year, and you know he was a
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: defensive player of the Week and week two he really is.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: It's just so I don't know, he's just got that
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: that knack for getting to the quarterback. Guys have that.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there's certain guys that they're just gonna have
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: any He had it as an inside linebacker. And so
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: I really give a lot of props to coach Olsen
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: with the move to defensive end because it fits his
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: game so well, and and a lot of the time
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: he's coming off that the blind side, he's going, oh,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: he's over the left tackle, and boy, he's made some
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: hits on quarterbacks when they don't see it coming. And
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: I think he's leading the league in forced fumbles and sacks,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: so he could put up some big numbers. He's really
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: really just disruptive.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: All I have left is quarterback and kicker. And I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: tell you what this is. This is a tough one
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: here because you took Eli Mayberry and that was one
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: that I was kind of thinking about initially. And it's
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: it's tough, right because you know, you feel good about
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of guys. But then it's also like a
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: man Bran Heppner, like I feel like he could have
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: a big game. Yeah, And also it's Anna Cordis, you know,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: like right, and I can't pick Nolan right because I
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: picked him last week, right, you know? Is this is
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: this is an interesting one.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Here, So Evan Brown against Tom Waters defense might be yeah.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking at it going I'm gonna take Jagger Fife.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: But also this is one where man, if they for
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: some reason run forks out of the building, he might
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: not be in very long and they might not put
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: up a ton of yards throwing, you know. So yeah,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know, this is interesting.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not real happy about it, but I
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: am happy because I think Jaggarfife is a heck of
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: a quarterback, you know what I mean, Like.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think he's always that safe pick. Yeah,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: you know, he's the Trent Green. I mean, when you
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: played fancy football back in the day and you had
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Trent Green, You're like, well, it's Trent Green, but he's
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: gonna score your twenty.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: It's just I loved having Trent Green because you could
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: get him late in the rounds and he's gonna always
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: put up points. And that's that's kind of Jaggerfife, man.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: And the thing is with him too, is that they
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: will they'll run the veer and he will. He will
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: keep it a lot of the time, especially early, just
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: to kind of test the defense. And he's got wheels,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: so you know, he doesn't he doesn't run for one
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: hundred yards a game or anything like that, but you'll
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: see touchdowns out of him here and there, and once
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: they get inside the ten, you know, he could keep
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: it and try to get that corner of the end
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: zone and and so yeah, so he can he could
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: pick up the numbers that way as well.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: I would appreciate it if he ran the ball more
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: this week than ever. It could happen, all right, Tyler,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: I need a kick her. Yeah, And you know I've
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: I've been pretty uh what's the word I'm looking for here,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: like unfortunate? Well, yes, as far as kicker, yeah, BVD,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still salty about that, especially since what's
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: his name Malki came and kicked like all of them
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: last week? Like what is that?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: Who does that to me? Like that's just a troll
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: job and it's a very good one too, by the way.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Uh No, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna be I'm trying
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: to think of the word here, not like staunch, but
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: like what is the you know, like, uh, I'm going
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: all in, I guess in a way on Squalicum and
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with their kicker Slade Kaiser. I just
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: I feel like they're gonna put up a lot of
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: points this week, and a solid you know, maybe six
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: or seven points out of a kicker is just we
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna need to finish off this this two and
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: two week and double up and just two in a row,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: and then I'm gonna be hot and and you're just
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: never gonna come back all of a sudden. It's gonna
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: be seven and two and we're gonna be in a
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: week nine.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: Ah, that's not gonna be good. But yeah, Slade Kaiser
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: has been automatic. Uh and he's kicked a couple of
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: field goals already. So again another team that's not afraid
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: to kick the field goals and they will be on
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: the on the turf on Saturday night, So you know,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: that's always a good pick. I got one pick left.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: It needs to be a back seven player, linebacker or
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: defensive back, and I'm gonna go defensive back. I'm gonna
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: go with the corner, Hunter Callaway, the young corner, the sophomore.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: He is lock down. And I tell you Lakewood likes
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: to throw the ball around a lot.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Colby Chambers put up a ton of numbers last week
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: as like a really good corner for seal against Lakewood,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: and I think Hunter Calloway is gonna have a I
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna you know, sometimes a corner can score
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: nothing because they just don't get anything their way at all, running, passing, nothing.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: But I think that Lakewood is gonna you know, they
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: don't care like where the other guy's top corner is.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: They're gonna throw to their guys and Hunter Calloway will
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: be on their guy. And he's just He's just a
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Stickham corner. He is right there all the time. Super athletic,
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: tall six one six ' two, rangey but one eighty
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: and is just physical and h he's gonna he just
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: makes plays. He's leading everybody and passes defended. He had
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: five in one game against Burlington. He and it was
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: big time plays that he was making. And I think
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: that he is just gonna keep progressing in just a sophomore,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: got a bright future.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with him for my back seven.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: At quarterback, Tyler, You've got Eli Mayberry. I've got Jagger
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Fife running back, Talon Bung guard for you, Marcus for me,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Boyce Robertson at receiver for you, Andre Watson for me.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: You've got Ferndale's offensive line. I've got Squalcums, You've got
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: Meridians defense. I've got Seahomes defense. Blake Kureski in the
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: front seven for you, Fitscher Hall in the front seven
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: for me, Hunter Calloway in the back seven, Kolby Ship
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: in the back seven for me, and Enoch Smith is
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: kicking for you, and I've got Slade Kaiser. It is
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: kind of funny, Tyler. You know, I think in the
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: defensive players, we're usually kind of heavy on the linebackers.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Usually, yeah, I mean.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Mostly because I think the thought process for both of
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: us is probably similar in terms of, yeah, those guys
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: can get some some tackles in the backfield, but they're
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: going to rack up a lot of numbers in the tackles,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: just kind of in general. Yeah, and this week I
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: kind of stick to that and you go a little
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: bit opposite.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not even going with lionbacker here. So I
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: just have a feeling, you know, Grant Pauls likes to
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: throw a lot. I think Kresky could put some pressure
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: on there, and and then Lake would like to throw
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: a lot. And I think Calloway will be a busy
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: guy back there. But it's always tough. I mean I
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: remember one time picking I think I picked Body Human
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: against Sea Home and I swear and this was when
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Seelm was running the spread with Kaepernick. Yeah, and I
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: swear Human just stood in the middle of the field
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: and didn't do anything, like there was nothing for him
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, that was probably part of the scheme where
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: it was like, yeah, we're we'll make everything go to
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: the outside or something. Yeah.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was, you know, and they had to
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: kind of change their defense around a little bit where
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: he was sometimes just the only inside linebacker and he'd
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: just be there in the middle of the field and
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: they just throw to the outside and Lindon swarms the
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: ball and they make the tackle before Human got there.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: And I think I scored like one point. And I've
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: always learned from that, like if you're going against the
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: passing a team that passes a lot, don't take the
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: insideline packer. So and there's gonna be some games out
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: there where they're gonna be throwing it around a little bit.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: So we'll have to see, all right, Tyler, is that it?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: Are we done?
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: I think we're good? Alrighty.
• 1:16:04

• 1:16:06
