- 0:30Speaker 2: H just so awesome to watch her. But the basketball
- 0:33Speaker 2: in her hands does a lot of things, directs a
- 0:35Speaker 2: lot of traffic, makes everybody around her better, and she
- 0:38Speaker 2: can make the open shot really good Squalicum basketball player.
- 0:42Speaker 2: And I'm excited that she's just a junior because we
- 0:45Speaker 2: get to watch her for another year. So thank you
- 0:46Speaker 2: very much Lexi for the intro. Also, I want to
- 0:50Speaker 2: talk about Walton Beverage for a little bit. I can't
- 0:54Speaker 2: tell all of you how blessed and thankful I am
- 0:56Speaker 2: for a company like Walton Beverage, who's been a staple
- 0:58Speaker 2: in our community for over ninety years, to take an
- 1:00Speaker 2: interest in Walkin Preps and allow me to keep doing
- 1:03Speaker 2: what I love to do. It's a game changer for
- 1:06Speaker 2: me and I will continue to work harder every day
- 1:08Speaker 2: to make the fantastic people at Walton Beverage Crowd to
- 1:10Speaker 2: sponsor youth sports in our community. They deliver superior quality
- 1:14Speaker 2: and commitment, and I plan to do the very same. Also,
- 1:17Speaker 2: do you live in Walcome's Gadget Island or San Juan
- 1:20Speaker 2: County and want to become an official? Officiating is a
- 1:23Speaker 2: great way to give back to your community and ensure
- 1:26Speaker 2: our youth have an opportunity to compete in athletics. So
- 1:30Speaker 2: we're gonna be talking about all kind of all the
- 1:32Speaker 2: same stuff we usually do, with a little added bonus.
- 1:35Speaker 2: We're gonna have Ferndale boys basketball coach Luke DeShane on
- 1:39Speaker 2: in a little bit to do a little interview with him.
- 1:42Speaker 2: And it's something that I've been kind of hearing through
- 1:45Speaker 2: the grapevine that you know, the podcast is getting a
- 1:48Speaker 2: little stale, and I understand that I don't want it
- 1:52Speaker 2: to be just me talking for forty five minutes. No
- 1:55Speaker 2: one wants to hear that. So if I could bring
- 1:58Speaker 2: on a guest every once in ahile, I think it's
- 2:00Speaker 2: I think it'll be great. And it went really well
- 2:02Speaker 2: in the fall with all the football coaches, so we'll
- 2:05Speaker 2: see how it goes here. I'm gonna kind of look
- 2:07Speaker 2: for a guest each week to bring on, whether it's
- 2:09Speaker 2: a coach or a player you know who knows so
- 2:13Speaker 2: and so. Yeah, so I reached out to coach to
- 2:16Speaker 2: Shane at Ferndale and he agreed, so we will have
- 2:19Speaker 2: him on here in just a little bit. Once we
- 2:21Speaker 2: get into the boys basketball. We're gonna start off with
- 2:24Speaker 2: girls wrestling right now. And there was I think there
- 2:30Speaker 2: was an event that happened that I did not get
- 2:35Speaker 2: the I wasn't able to get all of the results
- 2:37Speaker 2: from There was one event this past week I wasn't
- 2:39Speaker 2: able to get, so you know, the win loss records
- 2:42Speaker 2: are a little bit off. But like I said, it's
- 2:44Speaker 2: what I can get. So what I can get is
- 2:46Speaker 2: what I post. And of course you can go to
- 2:50Speaker 2: walkompreps dot com right now, go to the menu, and
- 2:53Speaker 2: then you can from there you can click on girls
- 2:57Speaker 2: win loss records for girls, you know, girls wrestling, and
- 2:59Speaker 2: you could see everything. It's updated right now through Sunday.
- 3:03Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna go through some of each of
- 3:05Speaker 2: the weight classes with kind of the leaders there, and
- 3:08Speaker 2: some of the wrestlers have moved around weight classes, so
- 3:11Speaker 2: when that happens, I always use the weight class that
- 3:15Speaker 2: they wrestled at at their lightest weight, I should say.
- 3:20Speaker 2: But I know that sometimes tournaments have leniency different different
- 3:23Speaker 2: things like that. But I always figure like if you
- 3:25Speaker 2: wrestled at a certain way at one point, that you
- 3:28Speaker 2: that that's what you're going to try to beat at
- 3:31Speaker 2: once you get to postseason. So that's what we're going
- 3:33Speaker 2: with here. So at one hundred pounds. Leading the way
- 3:36Speaker 2: is Kira O'Reilly of Blaine. He is seventeen to nine.

- 6:12Speaker 2: a bit, so wrestling at different weights. But again, she
- 6:15Speaker 2: might be at one forty five, she could end at
- 6:17Speaker 2: one fifty five. It's hard to say at one hundred
- 6:19Speaker 2: and fifty five right now. Analysia Ordoniez of Blaine is
- 6:23Speaker 2: eight and four. She had a whale of a tournament.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I think she won her weight class and every match

- 7:37Speaker 2: from the Justice for All tournament. Still waiting on that
- 7:39Speaker 2: meriting and Knukxak we're both at that, so a lot
- 7:43Speaker 2: of you know, stuff could have happened, and I would
- 7:45Speaker 2: imagine some of the better wrestlers had some pretty good,
- 7:49Speaker 2: you know performances at that event. So we'll have to
- 7:52Speaker 2: wait to see. But as now I do not have

- 13:09Speaker 2: It's been on the girls side, it's been okay, But
- 13:12Speaker 2: on the boys side, I don't know the last time
- 13:14Speaker 2: we had a state champion. I think it's been a
- 13:15Speaker 2: few years so, And I'm sure there's probably, you know,
- 13:19Speaker 2: someone that's very involved with wrestling listening to me right now,
- 13:22Speaker 2: going whatever this happened in this year, and you know,
- 13:26Speaker 2: I don't know for sure. I've just nothing's coming to
- 13:28Speaker 2: my head and recently on the boys side, with with
- 13:32Speaker 2: with state state champions. So we'll just have to wait
- 13:37Speaker 2: and see. So let's talk about boys swimming and diving,

- 13:42Speaker 2: about Stopfer Insurance. Stopfer Insurance. Can go check them out

- 14:01Speaker 2: on his face and he's very very personable, you know.
- 14:06Speaker 2: I don't it's hard for me to, you know, even
- 14:09Speaker 2: just get to know people sometimes, but he's He's somebody
- 14:13Speaker 2: I've known for a long time, so really always fun
- 14:17Speaker 2: to catch up with him every time I do see him.
- 14:19Speaker 2: A lot of swimming over the week. Let's look at
- 14:22Speaker 2: the standings right now. Anna Chordis is the only undefeated
- 14:25Speaker 2: team left at five and oh. Mount Vernon's five and one,
- 14:27Speaker 2: Bellingham three to one and one, oh Carver three one
- 14:30Speaker 2: in one, Seahome and Lindon are each three and three,
- 14:33Speaker 2: while Ferndale's three and four Welocome two and five sedral
- 14:36Speaker 2: Woollie one and five and Burlington Edison zero wins to
- 14:40Speaker 2: five losses. Let's look at each event and then who
- 14:43Speaker 2: the leader is from Walkin County. Start off with a
- 14:46Speaker 2: two hundred medley relay, it's the Bellingham's team of Camp Hancock,
- 14:51Speaker 2: Carlos Full, Marley Lotts and twenty Sea Home with it
- 14:54Speaker 2: excuse me, with the time of one minute fifty eight
- 14:57Speaker 2: point two nine seconds. I think that time's been up
- 14:59Speaker 2: there White a while. Now only team in walkm County
- 15:02Speaker 2: to break two minutes in that opening relay. I was
- 15:07Speaker 2: gonna say match, but you know what I mean, relay race,
- 15:10Speaker 2: I should say. In the two hundred freestyle, Will Burrella
- 15:13Speaker 2: of Seahome now leads with two minutes one point six
- 15:17Speaker 2: to one seconds. In the two hundred individual medley, it's
- 15:20Speaker 2: Liam Deheim of Seahome two minutes, two minutes, eighteen point
- 15:24Speaker 2: three seven seconds, and in the fifty freestyle it's Ferndale's
- 15:28Speaker 2: Odin Overson became in the first swimmer this year to
- 15:31Speaker 2: break twenty four seconds. He's at twenty three point five
- 15:34Speaker 2: five seconds and diving Caden Schmidt leading the way from
- 15:38Speaker 2: Sea Home two hundred and thirty two point three to
- 15:41Speaker 2: five points. I said it last week and I'll say
- 15:45Speaker 2: it again. He is I was gonna say he's worth
- 15:48Speaker 2: the admission, but I don't. I think I don't think
- 15:50Speaker 2: there is admission to go to swim meets. At least
- 15:52Speaker 2: there isn't it when you go to Ernie Hannah Aquatic
- 15:55Speaker 2: Center here in Bellingham. But boy, it's really really cool
- 15:58Speaker 2: to see what he can do. At the one hundred
- 16:01Speaker 2: butterfly it's Ferndale's Luke Mitchell with a time of one
- 16:04Speaker 2: minute one point six to one seconds, Will burrello seehom
- 16:08Speaker 2: right on his tail, six one hundredths of a second
- 16:11Speaker 2: behind him. And the one hundred freestyle Odin Overson of
- 16:15Speaker 2: Ferndale with a time of fifty three point one to
- 16:17Speaker 2: nine seconds, And the five hundred freestyle it's Liam Deheim
- 16:21Speaker 2: of Sea Home with a time of five minutes thirty
- 16:24Speaker 2: three point zero two seconds. This is converted from meters,
- 16:28Speaker 2: so I would definitely say that's, you know, legit thirty
- 16:34Speaker 2: seconds ahead of Odin Overson. Two hundred freestyle relay Seahome
- 16:38Speaker 2: team of Liam Deheim, Jason McGinnis, Cyrus mcfrasier and Will
- 16:42Speaker 2: Burrella with a time of one minute forty two point
- 16:45Speaker 2: eight three seconds, and the one hundred backstroke it's Bellingham's
- 16:49Speaker 2: Camp Hancock with a time of one minute six point
- 16:51Speaker 2: seven to one seconds, and the one hundred breast stroke
- 16:54Speaker 2: it's Seaholmes Will Burrella with a time of one minute
- 16:57Speaker 2: thirteen point nine to two seconds. And in the four
- 17:00Speaker 2: hundred freestyle relay, the big one that ends at all,
- 17:04Speaker 2: it's the Seahome team just under four minutes with Liam Deheim,
- 17:08Speaker 2: Jason McGinnis, Owen Reed, and Hans of Andrell. I think
- 17:13Speaker 2: they've had that one for a little while as well.
- 17:15Speaker 2: So starting to see some new times, some new names
- 17:18Speaker 2: in there as we get closer here to the postseason.
- 17:22Speaker 2: So it'll be excited to see, you know, and I
- 17:26Speaker 2: have no way of I mean, I probably do, but
- 17:28Speaker 2: I don't really know the measurements against the rest of
- 17:32Speaker 2: the state. So we'll just have to wait and see
- 17:34Speaker 2: how they do once they get to the postseason. I
- 17:37Speaker 2: know what like this, like this, you know, if you
- 17:40Speaker 2: get this specific time, then you will qualify for state.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Those are pretty darn good times, and I don't know
- 17:46Speaker 2: if any of them have really been reached just yet,
- 17:49Speaker 2: so it's gonna be really, really tough. I think you know,
- 17:53Speaker 2: if I was, if someone said, hey, who's got the
- 17:55Speaker 2: best chance of winning first place in any of these events?
- 18:00Speaker 2: I would I would have to go with Kayden Schmidt
- 18:02Speaker 2: of SEALM in diving. But but we'll have to wait
- 18:06Speaker 2: and see. You just never know what the rest of
- 18:07Speaker 2: the state will bring, so we'll be exciting to see
- 18:11Speaker 2: kind of how that turns out. Let's shift our attention
- 18:14Speaker 2: to girls basketball. The night the scoreboards are brought to
- 18:17Speaker 2: you by Edeling Darry from Satisfied Cows to satisfied customers.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Edling Derry is my favorite place in Walkin County to
- 18:24Speaker 2: get a cold treat, and you could check them out
- 18:26Speaker 2: at any of their five stores two in Linden one
- 18:29Speaker 2: and Blaine, one in Sumass and of course the Winn
- 18:31Speaker 2: in Ferndale where you might find me. Let's take a
- 18:34Speaker 2: look at the standings right now, and of course this
- 18:37Speaker 2: is just the overall standings that it's not league standings
- 18:40Speaker 2: or anything like that. So Lynden on top at fifteen
- 18:44Speaker 2: and oh they're on how many is now sixty two
- 18:47Speaker 2: games in a row that they've won. Lyndon Christian fourteen
- 18:51Speaker 2: and two. They did drop one earlier this week to
- 18:54Speaker 2: Lake Stevens on the road of four eighteen, and they
- 18:58Speaker 2: were up in that one. It was a close closet
- 19:00Speaker 2: and the only lost by five points. Lemon Nation thirteen
- 19:03Speaker 2: and two. Right now they're on a three game winning streak.
- 19:05Speaker 2: They're averaging seventy points a game and allowing twenty nine.
- 19:08Speaker 2: That's very, very similar to what Linden's been doing. Squalicum
- 19:14Speaker 2: eleven and three. They had their big winning winning streak
- 19:19Speaker 2: snapped on Saturday at Lyndon Christian a really really close game.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Squalicum lost by just four. Seaholme is eleven and four
- 19:27Speaker 2: on the air, Mount Baker nine and four, Nikzac Bealley
- 19:30Speaker 2: eight and four, Bellingham eight and six, Meridian is four
- 19:35Speaker 2: and nine, Ferndale three and nine, and Blaine is three
- 19:39Speaker 2: and twelve. Starting to see some big time players not
- 19:43Speaker 2: playing recently for many different schools for many different reasons.
- 19:47Speaker 2: But and this is what happens, you know, a long
- 19:49Speaker 2: season and other players have to step up. And that's
- 19:53Speaker 2: been cool to see as a lot of other players
- 19:55Speaker 2: have been stepping up. You know, Ferndale's been short handed.
- 19:58Speaker 2: So Mia Collins from Ferndale. She scored thirteen points the
- 20:02Speaker 2: other day, made a bunch of three pointers. That was
- 20:04Speaker 2: really cool to see, really good on the soccer field,
- 20:08Speaker 2: so you know, not surprising how good of an athlete
- 20:10Speaker 2: she is playing basketball. So that's been really cool. You know.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Bellingham picking up the winning against Ferndale was huge for them.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I don't know the last time they beat Ferndale and
- 20:21Speaker 2: girls basketball. I mean, I could probably take a few
- 20:24Speaker 2: minutes and go back and check, but I'm not gonna
- 20:26Speaker 2: do that right now. But it's it's really been a
- 20:28Speaker 2: positive thing for the for the BayHawks, knok Zach Valley,
- 20:33Speaker 2: you know, they've only played twelve games. You know, some
- 20:35Speaker 2: of these other schools have played fifteen games, sixteen games,
- 20:38Speaker 2: even in Christian's played sixteen already and Knukzack Balley only twelve.
- 20:44Speaker 2: Same with Ferndale only twelve. But both of them had
- 20:46Speaker 2: to deal with flooding issues and different things like that.
- 20:49Speaker 2: So the back half of the schedule is probably going
- 20:52Speaker 2: to be loaded pretty heavily. Mount Baker picking up that
- 20:57Speaker 2: win at Anna chordis they were down the whole game.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I mean they were down by twelve points late in
- 21:02Speaker 2: the third and they're able to just stay on the
- 21:04Speaker 2: attack and Rebecca Sores hit hit a kind of a
- 21:08Speaker 2: runner off the glass with I don't know, eleven seconds
- 21:12Speaker 2: left I think, and that gave them the lead. She
- 21:15Speaker 2: was fouled on the play. She makes the free throw
- 21:17Speaker 2: shot to give him a two point lead and they
- 21:19Speaker 2: end up winning fifty to forty eight. She had a
- 21:21Speaker 2: twenty twenty game. I think she had twenty nine points
- 21:24Speaker 2: and twenty two rebounds something like that. She played the
- 21:27Speaker 2: entire game. Really pretty impressive to see. Yeah, and Lamination,
- 21:33Speaker 2: I mean, they're just putting up huge numbers. Jemma James
- 21:37Speaker 2: was even though she didn't have a double double, she
- 21:39Speaker 2: was pretty close to a quadruple double the other night
- 21:43Speaker 2: the other day, I think it was against Orchest Island
- 21:44Speaker 2: where she had like twenty points, but then she had
- 21:47Speaker 2: something like, you know, nine assists and nine steals and
- 21:51Speaker 2: eight rebounds or something like that, and it was really
- 21:54Speaker 2: really close. Just really impressive what they do and how
- 21:59Speaker 2: they attack, and they're so good with the transition of
- 22:04Speaker 2: when they get a steal, they know you know who's
- 22:07Speaker 2: coming and how to cut and get the ball into
- 22:10Speaker 2: make an easy basket, and then they can shoot it
- 22:13Speaker 2: from the outside as well, so you get you know,
- 22:15Speaker 2: Jemma James and Alena Raebang, Briannon Matiba and Jordan Reeder
- 22:18Speaker 2: all shooting threes. They are all you know, you leave
- 22:22Speaker 2: them open and it's a it's a great shot for
- 22:25Speaker 2: the Lady Blackhawks for it to go in. So of course,
- 22:28Speaker 2: Lyndon what they've been doing, I mean, you know, it's
- 22:31Speaker 2: just they just dominate. Saw them against Seahome looked really
- 22:38Speaker 2: really good. I mean, Sea Holmes a great team and Lyndon,
- 22:42Speaker 2: you know, they're just I don't know how to explain it,
- 22:45Speaker 2: and maybe I'll have Rob Adams out, you know, the
- 22:48Speaker 2: head coach on as a guest on this podcast at
- 22:51Speaker 2: some point soon, because it's i mean, he coaches them hard,
- 22:57Speaker 2: but they know what to expect. There's this there's a
- 22:59Speaker 2: certain expectation, but they go beyond that and it's every
- 23:02Speaker 2: possession and it's you know, doing the right thing here
- 23:05Speaker 2: and there, and it's just they they play so hard.
- 23:09Speaker 2: But because they know that they can, they can sit
- 23:12Speaker 2: for a little bit because they you know, they play
- 23:14Speaker 2: ten regularly and usually end up with thirteen playing because
- 23:18Speaker 2: you know, you know, by the time the fourth quarter
- 23:20Speaker 2: is here, the last three on the bench will go
- 23:22Speaker 2: out and play most of that as well. So it's
- 23:26Speaker 2: just such a luxury and it's just a well rounded team,
- 23:29Speaker 2: and it's you know, I hope people understand the you know,
- 23:32Speaker 2: the greatness that they're able to witness right now. I mean,
- 23:35Speaker 2: we you know, we've seen them. You know, the ninety
- 23:37Speaker 2: five ninety six Sea home Boys team that reached number
- 23:41Speaker 2: five in the nation nationally ranked. You know, we saw
- 23:45Speaker 2: the the Luke rid and how Blaine teams that went
- 23:48Speaker 2: back to back state titles. And you know, there's been
- 23:51Speaker 2: some amazing teams and this one for girls basketball. What
- 23:57Speaker 2: Linden's been been doing. I mean, think about this. The
- 23:59Speaker 2: last time they lost the game, it was against an
- 24:05Speaker 2: eventual state champion, and the calendar still had the year
- 24:09Speaker 2: twenty twenty three on it. It was in December of
- 24:11Speaker 2: twenty twenty three at Nuksack Valley. I wonder when the
- 24:14Speaker 2: last time they lost a home game was. I mean,
- 24:16Speaker 2: it's just it's incredible. Yeah, I don't think they've lost
- 24:23Speaker 2: a home game since Rob Adams came back to coach.
- 24:28Speaker 2: So it's really really crazy what they've been doing. So
- 24:33Speaker 2: I really urge you to just go out and watch
- 24:35Speaker 2: them because the first half of the game is they
- 24:37Speaker 2: just go all out and it is precision. It's really
- 24:42Speaker 2: fun to see. So let's take a look at the
- 24:45Speaker 2: stat leaders. Of course, the stat Leaders are brought to
- 24:48Speaker 2: you by Acceleration Driving School in London. They've been sponsoring
- 24:52Speaker 2: the girls basketball stat leaders and the boys' stat leaders
- 24:56Speaker 2: ever since last year as well. Big time supporter, always
- 25:00Speaker 2: sponsoring boys and girls at the same time throughout each season.
- 25:03Speaker 2: I mean it's fall, winter, and spring, which I love
- 25:06Speaker 2: that because he just wants to be a part of it.
- 25:09Speaker 2: And uh, and it's a great combination too because many
- 25:12Speaker 2: of many of you listening you're probably learning how to drive.
- 25:14Speaker 2: And I strongly advise you to check out Acceleration Driving
- 25:17Speaker 2: School in Linden. Give Kevin to call at three six
- 25:19Speaker 2: zero seven four six four five six seven tell him
- 25:23Speaker 2: you heard about them on the WACOM Preps podcast. It's
- 25:26Speaker 2: so funny. I was out in London. I think it
- 25:29Speaker 2: was just Saturday. I was. I was out there twice
- 25:31Speaker 2: on Saturday. Yeah, it's kind of busy, uh what I
- 25:35Speaker 2: usually do so, but I was out there and the
- 25:39Speaker 2: car in front of me is said something like instructional
- 25:41Speaker 2: driving or something, and it had that number on the
- 25:44Speaker 2: back three six zero seven four six four five six seven.
- 25:46Speaker 2: I was like, I know who that is. So that
- 25:49Speaker 2: was just it was just cool to see that, and
- 25:52Speaker 2: you know it's I I remember back to my you know,
- 25:57Speaker 2: driver's head and all that stuff and learning how to drive.
- 26:00Speaker 2: It was it was so scary at first, but it's
- 26:03Speaker 2: just it's one of those things that you're gonna do
- 26:06Speaker 2: and you get better at it and Kevin can teach
- 26:09Speaker 2: you some good things, So give him a call. We
- 26:11Speaker 2: look at the stats on the girl's side, it's all
- 26:14Speaker 2: the same names, just the numbers have changed a little bit.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Fin departure of Linden, she's leading in points per game
- 26:21Speaker 2: twenty three point three, field goal percentage sixty nine percent,
- 26:24Speaker 2: and three point percentage of forty nine percent. Peyton Mills
- 26:28Speaker 2: of Linden is still leading in free throw percentage of
- 26:30Speaker 2: eighty seven and a half percent. Rebecca Sores of Mount
- 26:33Speaker 2: Baker still leading in rebounds per game at fourteen point
- 26:37Speaker 2: seven and blocks per game at three point two, while
- 26:40Speaker 2: Aleina Reebang of Lemination is still leading an assists per
- 26:43Speaker 2: game at five point nine and steals per game at
- 26:46Speaker 2: five point seven, and that brings us to the Player
- 26:50Speaker 2: of the Week which is brought to you by Anytime

- 27:17Speaker 2: of London. You know, I it's just boy, she's good
- 27:24Speaker 2: and and I you know I said it. I said
- 27:26Speaker 2: it last week. I was like, I could give this
- 27:28Speaker 2: probably to her every week, but when she really stands out,
- 27:34Speaker 2: I will give it to her. And so this is
- 27:35Speaker 2: the second week in a row for her. So congratulations
- 27:38Speaker 2: Finley Partcher of Lindon the Junior Guard. She is your
- 27:40Speaker 2: Anytime Fitness Player of the Week. Now other players had
- 27:44Speaker 2: really good weeks too, but I just had to stick
- 27:49Speaker 2: with her again this week. I had to. The numbers
- 27:52Speaker 2: are phenomenal. So with that, let's shift our attention to
- 27:57Speaker 2: boys basketball. The nightly scoreboards again are brought to you
- 27:59Speaker 2: by Edelin Dairy from Satisfied Cows to Satisfied Customer. Edelin
- 28:03Speaker 2: Darry is my favorite place in Walkham County to get
- 28:06Speaker 2: a cold treat. And the daily recaps are brought to

- 28:30Speaker 2: them online at Mosseriiconstruction dot com. That's moc er Construction
- 28:35Speaker 2: dot com. So let's take a look at the standings
- 28:39Speaker 2: here again. This is the overall standings and the Linnen
- 28:42Speaker 2: Christian leading the way at fourteen and one and they're
- 28:45Speaker 2: on a thirteen game winning streak. They've had some close games,
- 28:49Speaker 2: but they always just find a way to win. They
- 28:52Speaker 2: had a really close game and got squalcum in the
- 28:54Speaker 2: first half, but then they pulled away in the second half.
- 28:57Speaker 2: They did their thing. They're on a thirteen game winning streak.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Love Me Nation is also fourteen and one. They do
- 29:02Speaker 2: have the one tie as well against Lakewood and that
- 29:06Speaker 2: you know, bizarre power outage game. They've won twelve in
- 29:11Speaker 2: a row. Their last lost was to Linden Christian So uh,
- 29:15Speaker 2: those two teams kind of leading the way in Walking County.
- 29:17Speaker 2: But I tell you, if you blink now, you're gonna
- 29:19Speaker 2: miss that. The Linden Lions have now won four straight
- 29:22Speaker 2: and they are ten and five, So they still have
- 29:25Speaker 2: not played with a full roster yet with everybody healthy.
- 29:30Speaker 2: It seems like they always have at least two players
- 29:32Speaker 2: out and they they they do again now. So but yeah,
- 29:37Speaker 2: once once uh I think it's Lewis Whitney and and
- 29:41Speaker 2: I believe Reed Smith. Once those tattoo guys are healthy,
- 29:44Speaker 2: they will be fully assembled for the first time all year.
- 29:47Speaker 2: But right now, riding a four game winning streak, really
- 29:50Speaker 2: really good to see their seahome Sea Homes nine and five.
- 29:53Speaker 2: They picked up the win at Lakewood. That was huge,
- 29:56Speaker 2: especially with the I mean, if you've watched the Cougars,
- 29:58Speaker 2: they are they're amazing, really really fun to watch. Not
- 30:02Speaker 2: very tall, they like to run. They're very, very skilled
- 30:05Speaker 2: and they can shoot the three, and they made five
- 30:08Speaker 2: threes in the first quarter. Again see home and you're like, Okay,
- 30:11Speaker 2: here we go. This is this is kind of how
- 30:12Speaker 2: these games always go with Lakewood. And see him turn
- 30:16Speaker 2: it around, picked up the big road win. It's awesome
- 30:19Speaker 2: to see Squalokum eight and five so far. Counder Callaway
- 30:23Speaker 2: did re injure that ankle. He was out for the
- 30:26Speaker 2: game against Linnen Christian, but it's not as bad as
- 30:29Speaker 2: it was in the beginning of the season and the
- 30:32Speaker 2: offseason stuff like that, so I think he'll be back
- 30:34Speaker 2: to play pretty soon. He was in pretty good spirits.
- 30:36Speaker 2: I got to talk to him a little bit before
- 30:38Speaker 2: the game at Linden Christian and I think he'll be
- 30:41Speaker 2: ready in a little bit. But I tell you what,
- 30:43Speaker 2: Reece Nolton boy, he he bawled out. I don't even
- 30:47Speaker 2: know how else to say. It was so funny because
- 30:49Speaker 2: Jim Carberry from Wacom Hoops. During the game, he walked
- 30:52Speaker 2: over to me like, I don't know. It was like
- 30:54Speaker 2: in the second quarter and he goes, since when did
- 30:57Speaker 2: res Nolton become all of State? And I was like, no, kidding,
- 31:00Speaker 2: And he's one of those players. He's one of those
- 31:02Speaker 2: competitors that when when they're when when you're playing against
- 31:04Speaker 2: the best teams, he plays his best and that says
- 31:08Speaker 2: a lot about a player. And so he went off
- 31:11Speaker 2: for twenty points in that game, and and he was
- 31:13Speaker 2: the one keeping them in it early on. Really really
- 31:15Speaker 2: cool to see, Uh Bellingham six and eight, Nuksack Valley
- 31:20Speaker 2: five and nine, Meridian five and nine, Ferndale four and eight,
- 31:24Speaker 2: Blaine four and ten, Mount Baker three and nine. Baker
- 31:27Speaker 2: on a six game losing streak right now. Blaine has
- 31:29Speaker 2: dropped three in a row. Ferndale's won three of four.
- 31:33Speaker 2: And we'll talk about uh, we'll talk about them a
- 31:36Speaker 2: little bit. When a coach is ready to join us.
- 31:38Speaker 2: He's he's gonna be ready in just a second here.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Meridian dropping their last game there, Uh, they're five and nine.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Like I said, along with Nuksack Valley, Nixact Valley did
- 31:49Speaker 2: defeat Blaine. Bellingham has dropped three in a row. But
- 31:53Speaker 2: playing some playing some pretty good basketball right now. They
- 31:55Speaker 2: were able to get my little right back. And I
- 31:57Speaker 2: was so excited to see that because you know my rights,
- 32:00Speaker 2: you know, he came on second half of the year
- 32:03Speaker 2: as a sophomore and was starting at point guard and
- 32:06Speaker 2: started all year last year and then he gets hurt
- 32:08Speaker 2: in football near near the end of the year and
- 32:11Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna be out for the year
- 32:12Speaker 2: for basketball. Now, he came off the bench on Friday
- 32:15Speaker 2: night against Ferndale and I thought he looked pretty good.
- 32:18Speaker 2: I mean, you couldn't have you couldn't tell that he,
- 32:20Speaker 2: you know, had had an injury. Very quick hands, really
- 32:25Speaker 2: good distributor make getting everybody involved. So it was so
- 32:28Speaker 2: cool to see my little right back just kind of
- 32:30Speaker 2: one of my one of the guys I pull for
- 32:33Speaker 2: in in sports, whether it be football, basketball, or golf.
- 32:36Speaker 2: He's he's I like him a lot. He's a good
- 32:39Speaker 2: he's a good kid. So I'm glad to see that
- 32:40Speaker 2: he's able to play some of his senior year. And
- 32:43Speaker 2: that's really cool. But speaking about really cool, Luke DeShane
- 32:48Speaker 2: is ready to join us and UH coach, I just
- 32:52Speaker 2: want to say thank you for being the first guest
- 32:55Speaker 2: on the on the Caterade Game Day podcast, and I
- 32:59Speaker 2: got to start off by saying, how are you doing
- 33:01Speaker 2: so far?
- 33:02Speaker 1: Doing great? Thanks for having me on UH I know
- 33:06Speaker 1: I speak for myself and my staff and our community
- 33:09Speaker 1: that we really appreciate your coverage and we're very grateful
- 33:13Speaker 1: for you. So thanks for having me on.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Oh you're welcome. Thank you so much. It's it's a
- 33:16Speaker 2: lot of fun. I you know, I didn't play basketball,
- 33:19Speaker 2: you know, at Diversity of Love. I played like boys
- 33:21Speaker 2: and girls club stuff like that. So it's a it's
- 33:23Speaker 2: still a learning process for me. I obviously I love
- 33:26Speaker 2: the game, but boy, it's a it's a it's just
- 33:29Speaker 2: so fun to cover all the athletes. I got to
- 33:32Speaker 2: ask you right out of the gate, who's your all
- 33:33Speaker 2: time favorite basketball player?
- 33:35Speaker 1: My all time favorite basketball player is Gary Payton. Gary Payton,
- 33:41Speaker 1: I love the chip on his shoulder that he played with,
- 33:45Speaker 1: the defense that he played, how he led his team
- 33:48Speaker 1: through example and being vocal as well. And uh you
- 33:52Speaker 1: know that he put winning above all else. He put
- 33:54Speaker 1: it above stats, put it above his own personal agenda
- 33:58Speaker 1: or anything like that. And he was just fun to
- 34:00Speaker 1: watch as a kid growing up in the Seattle area.
- 34:02Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I just love to start absolutely all right.
- 34:07Speaker 2: And I'm really curious about this, and I've never asked
- 34:09Speaker 2: a basketball coach this, so I'm excited to ask multiple
- 34:12Speaker 2: coaches this question. And maybe it's a stupid question, but
- 34:14Speaker 2: this is just me. When you're coaching, in the first half,
- 34:18Speaker 2: you're defending the basket on your side of the court. Yeah,
- 34:22Speaker 2: in the second half, you're always playing offense on your
- 34:24Speaker 2: side of the court. Which side do you prefer or
- 34:28Speaker 2: which half do you prefer? To coach more?
- 34:30Speaker 1: Oh, that is a really good question, because it's something
- 34:34Speaker 1: that I think all of us coaches do think about,
- 34:36Speaker 1: but we don't like articulate, you know, But I like
- 34:40Speaker 1: the first half watching us on defense and setting the
- 34:43Speaker 1: tone on defense, and you know, talking to the guys
- 34:46Speaker 1: and leading them through some of the things that we've
- 34:49Speaker 1: gained planned for. I've always thought as a coach, offense
- 34:53Speaker 1: will take care of itself, but defense has to be
- 34:56Speaker 1: pushed and motivated because that's the hard part of the game,
- 35:00Speaker 1: especially when you're coaching. You know, young young men and
- 35:04Speaker 1: they watch a lot of clips of NBA and college
- 35:07Speaker 1: basketball where offense is so glorified, where defense is really
- 35:11Speaker 1: where you have to hold un accountable and push them.
- 35:13Speaker 1: And so I think starting in the first half on
- 35:16Speaker 1: that end and setting the tone on that end is
- 35:19Speaker 1: I like that better.
- 35:20Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I was always curious about that, and it
- 35:23Speaker 2: took me about it, you know. I mean I started
- 35:25Speaker 2: covering hoops for the Bellingham Harold twenty six years ago,
- 35:29Speaker 2: and it took me a few games to realize that
- 35:31Speaker 2: was always the case, right, Yeah, and then I just thought, man,
- 35:34Speaker 2: I wonder what they prefer. And I've just I've never
- 35:36Speaker 2: asked the question. It's always been in my head.
- 35:38Speaker 1: So that's a great question.
- 35:39Speaker 2: Yeah, three and five in conference plays so far, four
- 35:43Speaker 2: and eight overall. But you've won three out of your
- 35:46Speaker 2: last four and is there something that you've found that's
- 35:48Speaker 2: kind of working for you guys?
- 35:50Speaker 1: Yeah? I think confidence. I think our team came in
- 35:55Speaker 1: this year and we were pretty confident coming into this year,
- 35:58Speaker 1: and then we faced a bunch of really tough and
- 36:01Speaker 1: that will rattle you as a coach, as a player.
- 36:05Speaker 1: You know. It's just like, man like I, you know,
- 36:07Speaker 1: I swear we're doing the right thing, we're doing good stuff,
- 36:10Speaker 1: but we're still getting beat right, And it's just kind
- 36:14Speaker 1: of been chipping away at that with the kids and
- 36:16Speaker 1: the staff and just saying, hey, like we are doing
- 36:19Speaker 1: good stuff, we are doing the right thing, and we
- 36:22Speaker 1: are getting better and even though that doesn't seem the
- 36:24Speaker 1: way and the win loss column, but we see it.
- 36:27Speaker 1: We see it as a coaching staff, and you guys
- 36:29Speaker 1: need to feel it and believe in it too. And
- 36:31Speaker 1: when we play teams that we can get that's when
- 36:33Speaker 1: we have to apply what we've learned and get better.
- 36:36Speaker 1: And so I think our guys have grown up and they,
- 36:41Speaker 1: you know, are playing with a chip on their shoulder.
- 36:43Speaker 1: They're playing like they've got nothing to lose at the
- 36:45Speaker 1: same time too, and it's coming in clutch for us.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Just that tough season, that tough schedule in the beginning
- 36:51Speaker 1: of the season, and yeah, now we're winning close games
- 36:55Speaker 1: and games that people aren't picking us for and that's
- 36:58Speaker 1: pretty awesome.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Yeah. I touch on last Friday's game at Bellingham. I
- 37:02Speaker 2: was there for the entire game. I don't know how
- 37:04Speaker 2: many ties and lead changes there were. Let's just say
- 37:07Speaker 2: that there were many. Yes, What was the biggest difference
- 37:10Speaker 2: at the end of that game that allowed you to
- 37:11Speaker 2: kind of pull away a little bit and pick up
- 37:13Speaker 2: that win on the road.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I think it was composure and basketball IQ. Our guys
- 37:19Speaker 1: need to constantly be students of the game and learning
- 37:23Speaker 1: and looking at the clock, and we did situation drills
- 37:25Speaker 1: this past week where you know, hey, we're down for
- 37:28Speaker 1: with a minute left, what should we do. I'm not
- 37:31Speaker 1: going to coach you through it. You guys need to
- 37:33Speaker 1: think about it and they'll huddle up and choose a
- 37:36Speaker 1: game plan and go for it. And I think that
- 37:38Speaker 1: really really, you know, you showed itself in that game.
- 37:43Speaker 1: You know we're up to or tied and there's two
- 37:45Speaker 1: minutes left, and it's like, hey, we've practiced this, We've
- 37:48Speaker 1: practiced the you know, the clutch gene as you say,
- 37:51Speaker 1: like are you going to hit your free throws or not?
- 37:54Speaker 1: Are you going to sit down and defend for thirty
- 37:56Speaker 1: seconds and not let them get an offensive rebound or not?
- 38:00Speaker 1: And that's stuff that we've tried to do in practice
- 38:03Speaker 1: and implicate and practice and ended up working out. So
- 38:07Speaker 1: I just think, you know, seeing the time and clock
- 38:09Speaker 1: and score and understanding the situation really really helped us.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Absolutely. Oh I'm want to talk about your senior forward
- 38:17Speaker 2: Montage sing for a little bit. Yeah, during your third year,
- 38:21Speaker 2: so I have to ask the question, have you coached
- 38:23Speaker 2: a game yet at Ferndale where he wasn't in your
- 38:25Speaker 2: starting lineup.
- 38:26Speaker 1: No, no, no, I mean he's pretty amazing. He's awesome.
- 38:31Speaker 1: And he even how amazing he is on the court,
- 38:33Speaker 1: he's better off the court. He's our valid victorian at
- 38:36Speaker 1: the high school. He's full time running start. He wants
- 38:40Speaker 1: to be a CPA accountant and he's you know, he's
- 38:44Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff figured out. And he's just
- 38:46Speaker 1: such a nice kid. And his parents are so nice.
- 38:50Speaker 1: And you know, he was born in India and he
- 38:53Speaker 1: moved here when he was young, and he's a really
- 38:56Speaker 1: really you know, he's just overcome a lot and has
- 38:58Speaker 1: such a you know, interesting story, and he's a self
- 39:03Speaker 1: made basketball player. You know, he fell in love with
- 39:05Speaker 1: the game himself, and I think that goes a long way.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Like no one gave him a basketball and said you're
- 39:11Speaker 1: gonna play that he found it himself and it was
- 39:13Speaker 1: like I love this and it shows and how he
- 39:16Speaker 1: plays and how much work he puts in and he's
- 39:18Speaker 1: he's just awesome. The coach. I'm very very lucky.
- 39:21Speaker 2: You know, it's funny when you watch him because and
- 39:23Speaker 2: I've had the you know the honor of covering so
- 39:25Speaker 2: many of his games and just watching the film and
- 39:28Speaker 2: countless things where you can watch him for a good
- 39:32Speaker 2: quarter and not know if he's right handed or left handed.
- 39:35Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I still don't really know. So, I mean
- 39:38Speaker 1: he shoots left handed, but he like chose to shoot
- 39:41Speaker 1: left handed, you know. And yeah, and you know, and
- 39:45Speaker 1: I haven't had him in class, so I don't know
- 39:46Speaker 1: if he writes Steve, I don't even know if he
- 39:48Speaker 1: writes left or right handed. Yeah, so I mean he's
- 39:51Speaker 1: you know, I still don't know because he just finishes
- 39:53Speaker 1: at the hoop with both I mean, you can't teach that.
- 39:55Speaker 1: And he works at it too. He does work at
- 39:57Speaker 1: it after practice, every during practice, he works on finishing
- 40:02Speaker 1: with both hands.
- 40:03Speaker 2: Yeah. It's crazy because there was a point in that game.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I don't know if it was the end of the
- 40:07Speaker 2: half or end of the third, or when it was
- 40:10Speaker 2: when he hugged them, you know, the times running out
- 40:12Speaker 2: he throws at three quarters core, he threw it with
- 40:14Speaker 2: his right hand.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Yeah, half Yeah, And.
- 40:17Speaker 2: I was like, I thought he was left handed, but
- 40:19Speaker 2: that looked like a good Like if any of us
- 40:22Speaker 2: try to throw with our opposite hand, it wouldn't look
- 40:24Speaker 2: that smooth, you know.
- 40:24Speaker 1: What I mean, it would look completely terrible. But he Yeah,
- 40:30Speaker 1: that's just how he is. And that's why I just
- 40:32Speaker 1: don't even question it anymore. I'm like, I don't know
- 40:34Speaker 1: what hand he is, but all I know is that
- 40:36Speaker 1: he'll get to the whop, he seals hard and he'll
- 40:38Speaker 1: do his best to finish with either hand.
- 40:40Speaker 2: So absolutely, I also want to spotlight your senior, Cooper Vincent,
- 40:44Speaker 2: for you talk about Gary Payton a little earlier. Yeah,
- 40:49Speaker 2: and when you talk about a motor that never shuts off,
- 40:51Speaker 2: you usually have him guard the posing team's best player.
- 40:54Speaker 2: How valuable is it to have a player like him?
- 40:57Speaker 1: Cooper is invaluable. He is unsung hero. He does so
- 41:02Speaker 1: many things that should don't show up in the box score,
- 41:05Speaker 1: and then he still shows up in the box score.
- 41:08Speaker 1: So you know, he's been getting near triple doubles the
- 41:11Speaker 1: last ever since we started conference play, and he stepped up,
- 41:14Speaker 1: and you know he's used to the pressure. He's a
- 41:16Speaker 1: good football player. He's played for US since he was
- 41:19Speaker 1: a sophomore too, and I you know, I've talked to
- 41:22Speaker 1: him about having confidence and you know, shooting his shot
- 41:25Speaker 1: when he's open. And we're not grading you and rating
- 41:28Speaker 1: you based off of your made or missed shots. It's
- 41:31Speaker 1: off of your effort and all the little things that
- 41:34Speaker 1: you do, and it's hard to take him out. It's
- 41:36Speaker 1: just really hard to take him out of the game.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, him and Montage both they play a lot
- 41:40Speaker 2: of minutes and and when you see them at the
- 41:43Speaker 2: end of the fourth quarter, I mean, they are just
- 41:45Speaker 2: drenched in sweat. You can tell they're putting in the effort.
- 41:48Speaker 2: And that's that speaks a lot to you and your
- 41:50Speaker 2: staff because they the respect goes both ways, I think,
- 41:54Speaker 2: and it's it's really see. They also have some sophomores
- 41:57Speaker 2: that have been turning heads of season. Has it been
- 42:00Speaker 2: It's been a pleasure, surprise, pleasant surprise to see what Tracon,
- 42:03Speaker 2: Houston and Trey have done so far this season.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been awesome.
- 42:07Speaker 2: Huh.
- 42:08Speaker 1: I mean they just I mean I remember when I
- 42:11Speaker 1: was a sophomore playing you know, varsity sports, and how
- 42:14Speaker 1: much pressure I put on myself and how hard it was,
- 42:17Speaker 1: and they just don't care. They just go out there
- 42:20Speaker 1: and compete and they just have short memories and they're
- 42:24Speaker 1: just they want to win and they want to do
- 42:26Speaker 1: the right thing, and they listen to my whole staff
- 42:29Speaker 1: and they're bought in and it's always yes, coach, and
- 42:32Speaker 1: you got it, coach, and my fault, coach, I'll do
- 42:34Speaker 1: better next time. And it's a you know, we'll see
- 42:37Speaker 1: how long that lasts, but right, but no, they're great
- 42:42Speaker 1: kids that it will last long. But they they just
- 42:45Speaker 1: want to do the right thing and they want to
- 42:46Speaker 1: do what it takes to win. And the losses have
- 42:48Speaker 1: really hurt them. They hate losing and that shows a
- 42:51Speaker 1: lot of character right there, when they come back the
- 42:53Speaker 1: next day ready to learn, ready to you know, face
- 42:58Speaker 1: their faults and get better. And you know they're good
- 43:01Speaker 1: at that.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's funny because all
- 43:04Speaker 2: three of those guys, I saw them last year in
- 43:07Speaker 2: little spark and little parts of other sports. You know,
- 43:10Speaker 2: I saw Tracon as a freshman baseball player. He was fantastic.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Houston got a little bit of time at the varsity level.
- 43:17Speaker 2: I remember he hit a three late late and looks
- 43:19Speaker 2: like you said, about four inches from last year. And
- 43:22Speaker 2: then yeah, you know, watching Tray play play football, obviously
- 43:25Speaker 2: he's a monster. So it's cool to see them all
- 43:27Speaker 2: kind of do their thing now on the hardwood and
- 43:29Speaker 2: and and knowing that you kind of have some building
- 43:32Speaker 2: blocks for the future, which is fantastic. You have to
- 43:36Speaker 2: see him coming up on Tuesday on the road. What
- 43:38Speaker 2: do you have to watch out for when you play
- 43:40Speaker 2: the Marriners?
- 43:42Speaker 1: That their depth, They you know, one through eight nine,
- 43:46Speaker 1: they just they're just rolling on all cylinders and they
- 43:49Speaker 1: know each other so well. So when subs come in
- 43:52Speaker 1: or when they're starting five is in or whoever's in,
- 43:55Speaker 1: they they are, you know, one a well oiled machine
- 43:59Speaker 1: and they you know, it all starts. I think with
- 44:02Speaker 1: Nolan Wright, he's such a good point guard and he
- 44:06Speaker 1: gets them set up and he makes things easier for
- 44:08Speaker 1: his teammates, and so we just kind of need to
- 44:10Speaker 1: make him uncomfortable if that's even possible, and just just
- 44:15Speaker 1: get him out of his comfort zone because he does
- 44:17Speaker 1: so many good things. And then you know, it's gonna
- 44:19Speaker 1: be really fun to watch Trey Munson and Cool Trell
- 44:21Speaker 1: go at each other. So you know, we're looking forward
- 44:24Speaker 1: to that, however that might look. And just trying to
- 44:27Speaker 1: slow him down on the glass. And he's a good
- 44:30Speaker 1: willing passer from the post too, and so I think
- 44:33Speaker 1: you know they I mean Exager's Kelly Scott's unbelievable player,
- 44:37Speaker 1: and Clay Jackson and as well as Tonavan. So they
- 44:42Speaker 1: they got a lot of good pieces. And you know,
- 44:43Speaker 1: car Duckworth's been coming off the bench. If you could tell,
- 44:47Speaker 1: I coach these guys at some point, I was their
- 44:49Speaker 1: JB coach, so I know all of them. But but
- 44:52Speaker 1: you know, they're good players and good kids, and you
- 44:55Speaker 1: know they want to beat us for sure, and we
- 44:57Speaker 1: want to beat them, So it should be a good game.
- 44:59Speaker 1: And but I think it starts with slowing down No. One, right,
- 45:01Speaker 1: and also slowing down col Terrell as well.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean those guys, you know, they've just done
- 45:08Speaker 2: it for so long. And and it was funny because
- 45:12Speaker 2: I was talking to coach Roper before the season, of course,
- 45:15Speaker 2: the Lindon coach. He was asking me what I thought
- 45:19Speaker 2: about see him coming into this season, and I said, well,
- 45:22Speaker 2: you know, they they're they're not incredibly tall, and he
- 45:26Speaker 2: kind of his eyes kind of got big and he goes,
- 45:29Speaker 2: but they're big, and I knew he meant he was
- 45:31Speaker 2: talking about Cole Drell. Yeah, I mean, Cole is so
- 45:33Speaker 2: athletic underneath there and maybe they maybe six two, but
- 45:38Speaker 2: he can he can establish position and he's got.
- 45:40Speaker 1: Good Yeah, he seals well, and his feet are awesome.
- 45:45Speaker 1: You know, he's just got great feet and he always
- 45:48Speaker 1: gets leverage and he's he's good. He's good.
- 45:51Speaker 2: Yeah, he knows what it takes to get the job
- 45:54Speaker 2: done and maybe being three or four inches shorter than
- 45:56Speaker 2: a lot of the guy's gardens. So that's awesome. Coch
- 46:00Speaker 2: great stuff. Thank you so much for joining me on
- 46:02Speaker 2: the Gatoring Game Day podcast and now'll yeah seeing you soon.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for having me. Really appreciate it.

- 46:13Speaker 2: and being a part of the podcast, and hopefully for
- 46:16Speaker 2: the listeners it'll be something a little different, something we
- 46:20Speaker 2: don't usually do outside of the fall season. But I
- 46:23Speaker 2: want to be able to have coaches on and athletes
- 46:25Speaker 2: on and maybe officials or whoever and just talk about
- 46:30Speaker 2: stuff and maybe get to know these guys a little bit.
- 46:33Speaker 2: I don't know coach to Shane very well, didn't grow
- 46:36Speaker 2: up in the area, so but every interaction I've had
- 46:39Speaker 2: with him has been super positive and he's very appreciative
- 46:42Speaker 2: of what I do and that goes a long way
- 46:45Speaker 2: to me. So so thank you very much, coach, to
- 46:48Speaker 2: Shane for dropping in and giving your time. Let's take
- 46:53Speaker 2: a look at the stat leaders so far and Statler's

- 48:09Speaker 2: Fitness and Linden, Linden North and Ferndale. We kind of
- 48:13Speaker 2: talked about it a little bit. The Linden Lions are
- 48:15Speaker 2: on a four game winning streak and this past week
- 48:18Speaker 2: they went to and zero behind two big games from
- 48:21Speaker 2: their senior forward Spencer Adams. He is your Anytime Fitness
- 48:25Speaker 2: Player of the Week. You know, I don't think he's
- 48:28Speaker 2: one hundred percent. He's got that shoulder wrapped up and
- 48:32Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a dislocated shoulder. It
- 48:33Speaker 2: was a nasty injury that I saw happen live when
- 48:37Speaker 2: I was watching against stan Wood, and boy, it was
- 48:41Speaker 2: just it was just such a It just bugged me
- 48:44Speaker 2: so much that that when that injury happened, because again
- 48:46Speaker 2: a senior, glad he's back. He's playing so well, uh,
- 48:51Speaker 2: doing a lot of you know, grabbing a lot of
- 48:52Speaker 2: rebounds and getting assists and stuff like that, and we
- 48:54Speaker 2: could still shoot it. I don't think, like I said,
- 48:56Speaker 2: I don't think he's quite one hundred percent with his shot,
- 48:59Speaker 2: but he'll kill get there and uh right now leading
- 49:02Speaker 2: the Lions back into the wind column for a couple
- 49:05Speaker 2: more this week. So that was really good to see.
- 49:07Speaker 2: So congratulations to Spencer Adams winning the Anytime Fitness Player
- 49:11Speaker 2: of the Week. Let's take a look at what's coming
- 49:15Speaker 2: up this upcoming week. On Tuesday, you got boys swimming,
- 49:18Speaker 2: squalk them at Bellingham, the old uh Bellingham rivalry there.
- 49:23Speaker 2: That will be at the Ernie Hannah Aquatic Center in
- 49:25Speaker 2: the afternoon. And then in the evening, you got boys
- 49:29Speaker 2: basketball Ferndale at Sea Home. We talked about that with
- 49:34Speaker 2: coach to Shane there. That's gonna be a really really
- 49:36Speaker 2: good game where you know he knows those a lot
- 49:39Speaker 2: of those Sea young kids coaching them in junior high.
- 49:41Speaker 2: And then in girls basketball. I really like this matchup
- 49:43Speaker 2: Blaine at Oak Harbor Blaine. This is a winnable game
- 49:47Speaker 2: for the Border Rights and so if they if they
- 49:50Speaker 2: believe that they can do it, they will go out
- 49:52Speaker 2: and do that. Win that game at Okarber, it can
- 49:55Speaker 2: be done. You know the you know the player on
- 49:58Speaker 2: Olkarb you got to watch out for is Ventura the
- 50:01Speaker 2: point guard. She you know, I watched a game where
- 50:03Speaker 2: she hit like five threes in a game. So if
- 50:05Speaker 2: you can, if you can control her on the outside, Uh,
- 50:09Speaker 2: it contained her on the outside, I should say. Uh,
- 50:12Speaker 2: they should come back with the victory. So that'd be
- 50:14Speaker 2: really cool to see for the for the border rights there.
- 50:17Speaker 2: On Wednesday, we have boys basketball. Linden Christian at Ana Chordis.
- 50:23Speaker 2: Talk about a great game. But depending on what poll
- 50:25Speaker 2: you look at, this is number one versus number one. Uh,
- 50:29Speaker 2: you know, one A versus two A. There's a lot
- 50:32Speaker 2: of different polls out there. I think that you know,
- 50:34Speaker 2: and a Chordus, I think they dropped down a little bit.
- 50:36Speaker 2: And but this is a huge This is a great,
- 50:39Speaker 2: great game. Lynden Christian at Anacordas boys basketball. Wednesday night,
- 50:43Speaker 2: they have a double header out at Mount Baker in
- 50:45Speaker 2: the Deming Dome Nuksack Valley at Mount Baker girls and boys.
- 50:50Speaker 2: You know last year, I remember they had that double
- 50:52Speaker 2: header out at Nuksack Valley and you know the girls
- 50:55Speaker 2: were the girls were big, big, favorites in that game,
- 51:00Speaker 2: and it was a close game until Ryan Harkness got
- 51:03Speaker 2: hurt and looks like Valley was able to pull away.
- 51:07Speaker 2: And but you know, Baker is a little better than
- 51:11Speaker 2: they were last year, so they might be able to
- 51:14Speaker 2: make this one a game. I think it'll be a
- 51:16Speaker 2: fantastic surrounding and setting and everything. And then then the
- 51:19Speaker 2: boys game. Last year, Mount Baker won that game. It
- 51:22Speaker 2: was a pretty big upset there. Nuksak got him back
- 51:24Speaker 2: in the playoffs and a really really close game there
- 51:28Speaker 2: with a terrific ending. So we'll see kind of how
- 51:31Speaker 2: this goes too with the boys game. So great doubleheader
- 51:34Speaker 2: out at Mount Baker that'll be Wednesday night. On Thursday afternoon,
- 51:38Speaker 2: you got boys swimming and a Chortus at Seaholme and
- 51:40Speaker 2: a Chordus is undefeated on the year Seaholme. It's got
- 51:45Speaker 2: a lot of really good athletes, so if you know,
- 51:48Speaker 2: if we have a chance to upset Ana Chordis, this
- 51:51Speaker 2: might be it. And boys swimming, so good luck to
- 51:54Speaker 2: the Mariners there and then and boys wrestling Thursday night
- 52:00Speaker 2: Blaine at Mount Baker. I tell you what I mean,
- 52:04Speaker 2: that's been that's been a huge matchup ever since I
- 52:06Speaker 2: can remember, going back to the you know, late eighties,
- 52:11Speaker 2: Blaine at Mount Bak Blaine Mount Baker boys wrestling. I mean,
- 52:14Speaker 2: there was a time when Mount Blaine had won boy
- 52:17Speaker 2: I don't know how many league championships in a row.
- 52:20Speaker 2: It was a lot. I mean, it was double figures.
- 52:22Speaker 2: And then when coach Lepp arrived in the mid nineties
- 52:26Speaker 2: when they took when they stopped that streak, then they
- 52:28Speaker 2: started their own streak, and then I think it's just
- 52:30Speaker 2: it's gone back and forth. So always a great matchup
- 52:34Speaker 2: when these two schools get together. Really, I mean, I
- 52:39Speaker 2: you know, that's gonna be an awesome I think I
- 52:41Speaker 2: definitely have to be at that. I think it's gonna
- 52:43Speaker 2: be fantastic. And then on Friday night girls basketball, lynnon
- 52:47Speaker 2: Christian at k Nooksack Valley. That's one where you know,
- 52:52Speaker 2: every year it seems like those two schools, you know,
- 52:56Speaker 2: battle it out. I mean LC is probably the heavy
- 52:58Speaker 2: favorite here, but the game is at Nikseac Valley. You know,
- 53:03Speaker 2: it's a if Grace d'hoc and can can control the middle,
- 53:06Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be hard, and we'll have
