  Speaker 1: Thirty five points, nearly had a triple double. Huge, huge game,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and I asked him to do the preview. He sent
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it to me before that game even started. I was
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: just looking for a senior that I think is gonna
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have a big year and he was the first name
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that came to my mind. And I hit that one
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on the head because he's just has a great start
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the year. But we will talk about all eleven schools
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: kind of what to expect for the boys basketball this year,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and I think there'll be uh some pretty good teams.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Once again, of course, I got to give a shout
• 1:12

  Speaker 1: in athletics. Go check them out online right now. Nwofficials
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: dot com. Very very important. I just have this horrible
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: feeling that there's not going to be games at some
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: point because a lack of officials. So it's a it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a huge, huge deal. If you if you want to,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: or if you know somebody who would be good at
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it or interested in it, boy, let them know about that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Nwofficials dot com. All right, so we're gonna go in
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: alphabetical order. That means we're gonna start with the Bellingham BayHawks.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Last season went eight and fourteen. Head coach Brad McKay
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: is in his thirteenth year as the the head man
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of the boys varsity club, a total record of ninety
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: eight and one forty eight. Boy they are they have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They graduated some big time players from last year, kin
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Kid van Houton, Harmon Winkers, Gave Van Hofweg and Fabian Singh,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Evan Evan Eisley. There's there's a lot of you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: spots to be filled there. Uh and also a big
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: key loss here is senior point guard Milo Wright, who
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: got hurt during I think it was like the either
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the last football game or even the game before that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: something with his knee. Didn't didn't think much of it,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: kept playing, and then when he was out doing basketball stuff,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you know, cutting and sliding and just doing different things,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know, he's felt something his knee, got it checked
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: out and it's pretty bad. So he's out I think
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: for the season, which is just a gut wrenching thing.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You know, he's coming in to be his third year
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: starting as a point guard and that's really really tough.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: But Bellingham still has some weapons coming back. Of course.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The big one is senior forward Joe Harvard. At six
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: foot four scoring machine, rebounding everything. Eighteen point six points
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: per game last year, seven point eight rebounds per game
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: last year, two point seven assists per game, one and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a half steals per game, half a block per game.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I think he probably returns with the most points per
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: game out of all the players returning, So really expects
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: some big, big things out of him. Just one of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: those athletes where you just want to get him the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ball and let him go. He's like a he's like
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a wild horse that can't be restrained. You know, he's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna come in, he's gonna go baseline with
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: some dunks, he's gonna do all sorts of things. You
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: just gotta be ready for him. And he's And he's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: one of those athletes too that can that can play
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a full thirty two minutes and just and doesn't really
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: tired out either. And I think with so many new
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: varsity faces this year on the Bellingham squad, they might
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: really have to lean on him more than they anticipated
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: going into the season. So he can handle that. If
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he's the batman, there's gonna be a few robins here.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: One of them will be the junior guard Calvin van
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Hofwagen who he hit twenty six threes last year, so
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: he'll be that main shooter from the outside. Now they
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: graduate great you know, uh three point shooters. I mean,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: all these guys could really hit it from the outside.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: We talked about king k van Outen and Harmon Winkers
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and gave Ben Hofwagen faban and singing. These guys could
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: all really hit the three. So all those guys are gone,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: so be more of an inside out game now. But
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that outside presence will be Calvin van Hofway and average
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: nearly seven points a game last year, three and a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: half rebounds to assist over at one steal per game,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so he usually he was usually coming off the bench,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: kind of that sixth man first first got off the bench.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But I think he will be relied upon to be
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: play a lot of minutes start games. It'll probably be
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: averaging in double figures. And and especially when you know
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Joe is crashing the board, you know, going inside driving
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: he it'll open him up on the outside. So that'll
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: be the great inside outside game. They also returned senior
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: center Barrett Johnson, who is about six foot six limited
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: playing time last year almost two points a game, a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: little over one rebounded, game, but I think his minutes
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: are going to go way up. And I think that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he is a He's a kid that works really hard
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: at his craft, and I think that his numbers will be,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you know, they're going to reflect that. I think he's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going to be, you know, close to double double. I mean,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he's a he's just a really kid, athletic kid. Played
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: football for the first time at the high school level
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: this past year, playing some defensive end. Active guy, so
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: really excited about that. And Cyrus Campos returns as well,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and those are really the four guys that have varsity experience.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, so there's a lot of new faces for Bellingham.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: They haven't played a game yet so and I was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not out of the jamboree, so there's a lot of
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: question marks for me, and going into the year, I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: not quite sure what to expect because of there's a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: bunch of brand new phases. But that's what I love
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: about doing this is every single year, going into a season,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: whether it doesn't matter what season it is or what sport,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: there's always a handful of kids that I've never heard
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: about that just shock me and come out of nowhere
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and do something. I'm like how come I haven't heard
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: about this kid. Well, it's just the way that it is.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not paying attention to JV or Junior high or anything.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I just don't have time to do that. So when
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: there are new players that come on the scene and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: do something great, it's awesome and I love to see that.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see, you know, the rest of the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Bellyam crew and kind of see what they can do.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So should be should be exciting. Uh. You know, Belliam
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: always produces athletes, so we'll see what they can do
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: on the floor. Next up are the Blame Border Rights.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Last season a three and eighteen year. Not the best year,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: but uh, but you know they got through it, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I think this is going to be much much better
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this year. Chascock returns for his second year. Uh. By
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: far the best dressed coach on the sideline. They've already
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: played a handful of games this year, but we'll talk
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: about that in a little bit. Their key losses they did.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: They did graduate some big time players Josiah Weeda, Abdul Kanaji,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Jacob Donor and Beckham Blizzard. Uh, those guys were all
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you know, played a lot of minutes. Uh, and and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and you know, Chaz's coaching style was very different than
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: what they were used to, and I think they were
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: still kind of adjusting to it throughout the season. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and uh boy, he's he's such a good coach. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you could it's funny because he's very vocal on the sidelines.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You can it's it's like when I'm watching the games
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: or taking pictures or doing stats or whatever, I can
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I can hear what he's doing and I can see
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it kind of all happening in real time and how
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: they respond to what he's asking them to do and
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: how it's working. And it's like, holy cow, it's he
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: sees the game. He sees the game so well, and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: he's such a great coach, and he's got a good
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: group of kids here to work with. We're gonna start
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: off with Landon Melton, a six' five, guard you, know
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a deadly outside. Shooter made fourteen threes last. YEAR i
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: think he's already hit you, know four or five this.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Year averaged nearly ten points a game last, year a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: little over three rebounds a, game one point six, assists
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one point four steals per, game and over a block
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: per game. Too so you're talking about a kid who's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: six' five that can play out on the perimeter offensively
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to handle, the ball BUT when i when it comes,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to defense he can come in on those weak side
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: blocks and different things. Like that very, very athletic can
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: definitely get off. His feet, AND yeah I think i
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: remember seeing him when he was like a freshman or
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: sophomore at a, holiday tournament like during halftime or in,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: between games and, he was, you know working on some
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: dunks and. DIFFERENT things i, was like who is? This
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: KID and i kind of figured it out And and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: i'm excited to see kind of what he how he
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: progresses into. THE season a senior, Point Guard kay, Kerwin
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: returns he's just, so steady always looking for an, open
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: teammate really really good with uh in the, entry passes
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: down low, bounce passes uh, toughest nails doesn't. Get Tired
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Uh so i'm excited to see kind of how he
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: can run. That offense, and uh you know usually you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: know they they play sometimes like the like a one
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to three one zone or it's what it. Looks like
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not i'm not really an x's and, o's guy
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: but he's kind of the guy up top on that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: on that zone or he's he was picking up the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: point guard full court and he can run, all day
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: which is a. Great. Thing uh Senior Guard, milo dolls
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: one of my, favorite players comes up, the bench can
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: knock down, the three works, really hard can do a
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: lot of, different things which is great. To See daniel
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: banks is another kid that has a lot of. Varsity
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: experience he can shoot it from the outside for. A
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: guard he's a really, good rebounder which is awesome. To
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: see he's already picked up quite a bit of rebounds.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: This year Junior Guard dawson donor has been kind of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the big surprise for me so far. This year THE
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: sophomore i only you know did played very little, varsity
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: basketball averaged one and a half points a game. This
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: year he's already he already he scored twenty One Against.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Freddy harbor he looks to hit. THE three i think
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he made five Threes Against, freddy harbor made five out.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Of twelve but he gets. Guys involved he's a, good passer,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: you know very good defender and, you know plays the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: passing lanes really, well defensively and so his progression this
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: year has been faster than expected for, me anyways which
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: has been great. To see and he's already, you know
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: one of the leading scores on. The team, down low
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you Got Junior, gus dixon who's about six, foot five
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: really really, good player, soft hands got a really good
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: touch around, the basket very good with with with, the
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: putbacks banking him off, the glass different different things, like
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: that which is great. To see and he can play
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of. Minutes Too That freddy, HARBER game, i
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: mean he played almost every SINGLE minute i think. They
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: played they only played six guys in, that game so
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: there's just one guy kind of rotating in and out
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: every once in, a while and he was. IN there
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: i think he played the entire. Second half so that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was good, to see, you know a big guy like
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: him because he's probably about, you KNOW like, i said he's,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: six' five he's probably about, Two twenty five, so a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: big physical kid that can play a, lot of minutes
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: which is. Great to see and then, there's Younger Brother,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: sophomore chris dixon who's, six foot eight so he's. The
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: backup center he. Can come in he gets a lot,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of offensive rebounds blocks a. Lot of shots. Left handed
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: player man if he can develop like a like a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: hook shot or. Something like that he could really turn into.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: An offensive threat they also have a couple guys that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: have varsity experience that haven't been able to play yet
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: because of. Injuries To, football landon brown who started a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: handful of. Games last year he's about six four, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you know he averaged like two points three rebounds a.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Game last year he's got a he's in a walking,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: boot right now so hopefully at some point he'll be
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: able to come back and provide. Some Inside Presence, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: peyton bauma who is one of the best football players,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: on the team if. Not the, best you know he
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: had a he had a hand injury or wrist or
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: finger or something and he's got the cast on and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: he won't be playing, for a while but hopefully he.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Can come back and so there's a lot of pieces
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: here on. THIS blame, team i mean they're definitely going
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to improve from three to. EIGHTEEN last year i really
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: expect him to be. AROUND five hundred i think that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: they are used To to. Coach cocks program now you
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: know how they run their plays and, what To expect
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: and i'm really excited for the big jump they're going to.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: HAVE this, Year i said i've seen them a couple
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: times already and they're playing really really well Where they
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: beat leconnor by, like fifty points and it was one
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of THOSE things where i think seven different players scored at.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: LEAST eight, points i mean how often do? You see
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that so it was very. Very balanced throughout so you
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that can put the ball,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in the hoop which is. Great to see, plus you,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: have you know guys that are going to be coming
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: off injury and be included into the rotation. At some
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: point so it's just it's it's only going. To get
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: better so hopefully they'll. BE much improved i really. THINK
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: they Will i think chaz is, An AWESOME coach so
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: i think it's it's all working in the right Direction
• 13:37

  Speaker 1: them played, so many minutes and you look at the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: guys coming back and you recognize. Some of them but

• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the big returning Players Senior forward montage sing this is

  Speaker 1: listed as, like a, guard slash. FORWARD slash center i mean.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He Could play. He's i'm serious he's the guy that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: could like play. All five positions he could probably defend.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: All five positions he could finish. With either hand i've
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: watched him, so many times and there were there WERE
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: games when i didn't know if he was left handed,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: or right handed because he's like fifty to fifty. At
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the hoop how he finished is pretty sure he's LEFT
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: handed when i see him shoot. From the outside but
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and he's another guy that can just play and play
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and play and, play and play and he plays a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: lot of minutes and does, not ease up which is.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Great to see fourteen point six points per, game last
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: year over five, rebounds a game over two, assists per game,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: one steal in one, block per game plus he. Hit
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: nineteen threes so you talk about a guy that could
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: do a little, bit of, everything and, he's you know
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be leaned upon. Heavily for, this you know the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: rest of the guys that have not near as much
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: varsity Experience As a. Montage singh Does Senior Guard. KAVIE
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: dylan returns i haven't seen him out there. In action
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: yet he was not out OF practice when, i Was
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: there but i've been told he is, On THE team
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: so i don't know if he just got a late
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: start and doesn't have enough practices. Yet to play but
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he was a guy that came out the bench last
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: year and was a, really good facilitator, Really GOOD defender
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: so i would expect when he is, ready to play
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: he probably will still have. That same role, AND you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: KNOW i, really I actually, like i said, as a
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: facilitator he was Really good at. He's very unselfish he
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: can find, the, open guy uh which is really. Awesome
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to see there's, not you know you don't just you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: just don't see that a ton of guys that are
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: are very much past first, and and, uh you KNOW
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: not that i was a great player at all, by
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: any STRETCH but, when i, would you, KNOW play basketball
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: i loved. BEING a facilitator i loved looking for the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: open guys, BECAUSE you know i knew at five to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: five that my shot was not the best shot for
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that possession. For my team so, it's all, about you
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: know finding the best you know demin determining the best
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: possession or the best you know chance for a score.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: During your possession and he's really looking. For other guys
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: but he can hit, the shot too if it's, if
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: he's open he will hit it so and he. Can
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: get rebounds he's about six, one six two so big
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: big size, for a guard which. Is great Too Senior
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Guard cooper vincent returns he's a guy that kind of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: got thrown into it last year and played a, lot
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of minutes, did really well actually got more, rebounds than
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: points which is really it does not happen very much.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: For a guard but a guy that can really jump
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: get up. In the air he's another guy that is,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a good, facilitator good defender but he might be relied
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: upon a little bit more this, year for scoring which
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: he is. Capable of doing he can, hit outside shots,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: he's a, slasher really athletics so that will, probably you
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: know be hit more. Of his game and then you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that, are playing varsity some
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: of them for, the first time some of them they
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: played just a tiny little. Bit Last year houston wills
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: is a really good guard that has grown four inches
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: from LAST year that i think he's gonna be a.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Good Outside threat blake singsung is. The same thing he's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a good outside threat coming. Off The bench luke bader
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: is about, six foot seven so he, could you, know provides,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: rebounding shot blocking but he's got a good soft touch
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: too on his jump shots from about twelve, to fifteen
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: feet so that's that's. Great To see trey munson is
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is a, beast six' four two, hundred and, seventy pounds,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you know offensive lineman, but really good, feet really good
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: hands and another guy that finishes, well at the hoop
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: but he also is good at looking. For other guys
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: too he's a, Good FACILITATOR as well so i. Really
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Like his game nolan boliac has come out and he's one,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of those you know he was the quarterback. On the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: football team, just tough as, nails can provide minutes can
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: guard guys that, are bigger than him and. Love to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: See that And then trace and pozaski is a sophomore
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that we saw a lot last year during, baseball AS
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a freshman but i had never seen. HIM play, PLAY
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: basketball i know i took HIS head shot, and, I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: was like oh i, Remember HIM from, baseball so, I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: was you know i was kind of excited to see
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: what he. COULD do in basketball i go out to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the first, game and he's starting and he hit a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: shot like right, at his first shot his first. FARSITY
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: shot he hit i was like ten feet away and it,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: was a little, runner A little, floater and, i thought
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: my goodness. This kid's pretty good but he gets, a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: lot of assists. A lot of rebounds i am really
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: excited about, him in the, future JUST a sophomore so
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: i really think he's gonna. Have a big year so
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: there's there's gonna be some. Coming of age moments they're
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Probably gonna rely on montage saying a lot where maybe
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the shock lock's running down and it's like get the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: ball to. Him kind, of thing but eventually, as they
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: you know, SETTLE into Their roles i think frendale will be,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a pretty good team and they got a really good
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: coaching staff and and it's always fun to go out
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and watch. Them battle it out next up in alphabetical
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: order Will Be Is, the leming nation blackhawks who last
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: year finished. Twenty six and THREE finished, the year i
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: think on a twelve or thirteen game winning streak all
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: their way to. Winning The State championship coach jerome toby has.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Done an amazing job he's it's, his second state championship
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: but it was his, FIRST in, a while i. Think
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: over ten years and they you know a lot of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: people have talked about how they, return all their guys
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: but they actually they, Actually Graduated, Some, dudes Travon Lee,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Carson Re, Tony Abrams. Rayshawn bob, andrew tangent these guys
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: they they played. A lot Of Minutes and then tracy
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: powell is an underclassman that is, not able to play
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and so he was a six to four guy off.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: The bench left handed so there were some big Time
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: players they weren't they. Weren't the main guys but there
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: was a lot of these glue guys that will not
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: be on. The team this year and that's gonna. Be
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the tough, part but you know people are, bringing up
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the returners, and for good reason because when you talk,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: about a starting five, just one through five this might
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: be The Best. One In wakam county and. I'm not.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Even joking, it's crazy you know you look in the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Back Court. Starts with Jerome Toby. You know jerome junior
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: he's a senior this year average, seventeen point seven points
• 20:48

• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Is AN electric player and I tell you. What i,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: don't you you know you look for a better five
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: foot eight player in the, STATE at any classification i
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: don't think. You're gonna find one he is just so
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: smooth and so good at. Everything that he does really
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: really fun watching him joining him. In the Back Courts.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Junior guard dyson edwards, Who you, know this you know
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you talked about a kid that last year was, jumping
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: center for them. And he's a guard he's just he
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: can just. He's got amazing hops it looks like he's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a little. Bit taller this year he. Can really shoot
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it had forty. Nine threes last year, but he you,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: know he's a. Slasher he's a scorer he's a guy
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: that can get in there and do. A lot of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: things twelve point, seven points per game three point, eight
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: rebounds per game over, three assists per game and over
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: two and a. Half steals, per game so boy he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: can do. A lot of things and he's kind of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: that forgotten, Guy because you know jerome gets a, lot of,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you know the headlines. And For Good reason but dyson
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: edwards is a, guy that could well he could start
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: on any. Team in the county he is so so smooth,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and just, a junior, you know, a Forward Power forward.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Junior DeAndre james man he's got some. Great low post
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: moves last year nearly ten points and. Seven rebounds a
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: game he did really well in, the state championship game
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: did even better. IN his postgame interview i. Thought it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Was great it's hilarious he's, just a great, athlete about
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: sixty four two hundred. AND thirty pounds physical a lot
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: was put. On him last year he was about six
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: two six' three, last year, and he. Was you know
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: playing center but he won't have to worry about that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: too much this year if he could. Be more of
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a forward and we'll. Explain that in a second, also
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in the Back court His, junior guard landon la fontaine who's.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Kind of the shooting specialist he had, fifty nine threes
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: last year leading the team eight, point three points per
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: game a little. Over three rebounds a game, he's a
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: guy that. Boy you leave him open he's got a
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: really quick shot and he can always get it off and.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: He can, score in bunches you know they're there will
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: be games where he's over twenty and it's just he
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: just finds that, opening, and, he can go go go.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And he can keep, shooting and so you know he's
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: that third. Guard in that starting five. And Then. The
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: senior center chase waight Keller Is. A siginnee to central
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: washington averaged a Double. Double last season at monroe he.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Is he's the, real deal six foot eight two hundred
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and forty five pounds and, THEN in the first game
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: i think he had like sixteen points and twenty one. Rebounds,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: or something, like that so, you, know great rint protector
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: rebounder and he's, not a stiff OUT there. You know.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: What i mean he's not sometimes you get a six
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: eight kid to come out and play basketball that's never
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: played and it's not. The best thing to watch this
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: is a kid that and you don't see a lot
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of six eight kids that are built like a man
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: like he. Is built like a. Man so that's totally
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: different and really really excited to see how that changes,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: their team because you know? Can he run with them
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: they like to run and gun and shoot threes and get.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: UP and down the court i really think. He Will
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: be able to so i'm really excited how he's added.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: To this to this program it's going to be, A
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: great year for leimentation. There's no doubt about that can
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: they repeat? What they, did last year. Holy cow we
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: all hope so. It's going to be Fantastic Next, up
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: with they're lynden lyons who last year. Went twenty Five
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And three head coach brian ropers in his twenty first
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: year check out this win loss percentage four hundred and
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: twenty three. Wins to ninety one losses so that is
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: that is knowing what you're. Doing right there is incredible,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that is over eighty, percent well over eighty percent and
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: not not. Many losses from last year now you Have The,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: huge one with brent hepner and you know, he was
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: this you KNOW He Was the two A, state player
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of the, year so. OBVIOUSLY a huge huge weapon i
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: think he graduated as the school's, All TIME leading, score too,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: so i mean my goodness that says a lot When
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: you think about the linen program and all. The players that,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: they've had but you know they were. Undefeated for a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Long time they lost to lakewood in the state championship,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: game on that buzzer beater and then they went to state,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: and lost their two games and it was just it,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Was weird because, you know brand played fantastic but the,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: other guys just had off just had AN off days
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and and i really think that they that's still on
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the back of their mind to, a lot, of these
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: guys and uh you know They're gonna, COME out because
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: linden basketball i. Mean they're gonna be great there's no
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: doubt about that they're gonna. Be one of the favorites
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: so you always have to Acknowledge That, they also lost jack, stapleton,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a six, foot seven, uh you, know great athlete you
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: know so that's gonna be. Tough To Reprice as well
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and malachi bowman is a Kid that he moved to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: texas and he was he, was like the you know
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: one of the top three guys off the bench that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: would come in and play some forward and you could
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: see spurts of like really, good, athleticism and you thought
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: man he. Could be pretty good someday AND it's too
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: bad because i think he was developing into something that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Was going to be great he was going, to probably
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: start this year But, he has moved to texas so.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: He has gone as well so and you look. At
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the players, coming back nobody's a superstar but there's a
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: lot of guys that could. Do some really good, Things
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to Start Off, with senior guard spencer adams who's about
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: six foot five but can really really, shoot it from
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the outside a good rebounder two and made forty. Five
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: three pointers last year it's just a good overall basketball
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: player does, gets, a, lot OF points rebounds assists but
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: i think he might be leaned upon as kind, of the,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: go to guy you know get the ball in his
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: hands when, you really need a bucket and he'll. Be
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: able To Do that senior forward tyd jorgensen return uh

  Speaker 1: six six, point seven points per game four. POINT eight
• 27:03

• 27:09
  Speaker 1: some injuries so i don't know how healthy he is at.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: The beginning of the, season Lynden hasn't played yet. So
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: i'm not quite sure but he's. ONE of, MY favorite
• 27:18

• 27:32
  Speaker 1: throw down dunks and it. LOOKS relatively easy for him
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: i just hope that he's healthy because his Health will
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: determine how. Far lyndon goes this year and, it's a
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: he's a, great great player, to watch. About six four
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: six' five then He Got the Junior Backcourt, of malachi
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: canaan and gordi bedlington who. Both started last year as
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: sophomores and when you see, that sophomore to junior year
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: transition that usually is. A pretty good, bump In Production
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and you, know, with brian epner being gone uh there

• 28:22
  Speaker 1: being really interesting to see kind, of uh if he's
• 28:25

  Speaker 1: you're doing and. Having, one heck of a program now they,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: did graduate three guys last year three guys. That All
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: started last year too gannon, dykstro, was to do. Everything
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Guard uh you know, rivaled brant hepner is one of
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: you know if as one Of The. Best players in
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the northwest conference. They were Probably one and two luke
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: van coten was, the silent assassin from the. Outside could
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: just bury down threes and, that's THAT'S the spot right
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: there that's i think is going to be the TOUGH
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: one TO fill because he i don't i don't think
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: people understand. How valuable He Was that team and then
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: carter ayler's was a guard. That started last year defensive
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: specialists so all three of those guys, starting last year
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: that are gone. But They, do return some bangers caden,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: veldman junior center double double machine also led the county and,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: block shots and field goal percentage, so you're talking just
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: you know probably the best overall post. Player out, there
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: in the county of course now the new let me
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: transfer might. Have something to say about that but and,
• 33:26

• 34:37
  Speaker 1: this year and he's a guy. That could be gunning
• 34:39

  Speaker 1: guard gunner dykestra who is, just an assassin from the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: outside can just hit every single. Shot makes it look so,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: smooth every time he takes shot it looks like it's,
• 35:16

• 35:19

  Speaker 1: thin but MY goodness he's, the basketball i Q is.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: There you know the dykstra name, it just it's. IT'S
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: through him through and through i mean, you can, see
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: it with knowing you know the quickness and grab this

• 35:57
  Speaker 1: for him, uh did, a lot you know last year
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: and a. Lot of a lot of everything he hit.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: FIFTY three three pointers as well i think that. NUMBER
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: is gonna go way up i think his. Scoring Is
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: gonna go way up. So i'm really. Excited about that
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in Game one they played against the australian traveling team
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: earlier in the week and and they, were missing all
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: their football players so he was kind of. Called upon
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to be the guy and he was one. Assistant away
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: from a triple double so when when there's, a lot put,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: on his plate he can deliver which. Is really really
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: cool to see and then you start, talking about, a lot,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: of these you know other guys a, lot OF the
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: more football Players Like. I said senior forward boyce robertson
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: obviously we saw what, he did on the football field BREAKING,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: all the receiving records at lc but he started, last
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: year in the basketball team and you know they didn't look,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: to him a ton for scoring but so physically gifted
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and so athletic and jump and get rebounds and play
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: defense and take charges and. Do all those kinds of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: things you gotta have a guy like, that If You're
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: gonna go far, and lenny christian will go far you
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: always have to have that, guy that does the dirty work.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And He will be that guy eli mayberry. Came off
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the bench last year, he hit twenty one to. THREES
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: averaged four points a game i think that Rule Will,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: probably remain the same harvest howell who's one of the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: best soccer players. In the in the whole county he's another,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: guy that could run, all day, come off the bench, play,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: defense can play. Some point guard can shoot it so
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: really excited to kind of see how how he does
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: with his with more. Minutes Being put on his plate,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: chris Coyman Will be. You, know probably caden veldman's backup
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: obviously we saw what. He did on the football field
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: he's just so muscular and thick and strong and and
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: he's gonna box out and get rebounds and play. Defense
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: and those kinds of things, played limited minutes last last.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: YEAR average two rebounds a game i think, he'll be up.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: A Little bit especially early on if veldman's not, ready
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: to go For A while you could see chris, coyman
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: get a. LOT more, minutes possibly even start i mean
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: he's probably banged up. A little bit too from football
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: nobody carried the ball more times, than he did in
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the fall so he's probably feeling. It A little Bit
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: as well guard wyatt camp house played a. LITTLE bit
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: of varsity last. Year i, think he's gonna play you
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: know his minutes are, gonna come up a. Little Bit
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit more james voss played a. Little bit
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: of varsity, last year, he's six, foot eight. Junior center
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: you know Great wingspan you, might again with feldman being
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: out you, might see him start at center, get a lot.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Of valuable minutes block some shots he can, also shoot
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: it from the. Outside which is nice To see And,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: then sophomore Guard trade, and RIDENAUER who obviously luke's son
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: played jv last, YEAR as, a freshman, this year i
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: thought you know maybe he'd be like. A swing player
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: back and forth he Didn't come into the game, on
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: monday until the second quarter and he. Ended up leading them.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: And Scoring He hit six threes proud papa luke was
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: probably sitting on the bench, JUST loving it because you
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: know i almost. WROTE about it, in THE story I
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: was like because i think luke scored eighteen, or nineteen
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: in his varsity debut And who would, have known, that
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: traden would score you know more. Than THAT in his
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: varsity debut so. I think you. HAVE twenty two so
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: pretty cool i think with the football players joining now
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: his his minutes might. Be a little bit more limited
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: but he showed what he could do and that was
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: that was really really cool to. See six to ten
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: from downtown so it's Going To be, a really good
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: linen christian team and they are, a YEAR in and
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: YEAR out, AND i really expect i mean i think
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: they have a chance to. Do to, go all the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Way you know last year any WRIGHT was the big.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: TEAM at onea in the state i think a, lot
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: of those guys are seniors so the. PATH might be
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: open for Them A lot, might depend on, caden veldman's health,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to be honest and you know If, HE'S ready to
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: go by. January i think they'll be fine. They have
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of pieces they got guys that have been
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: playing together for a, long time and really good coaching
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: so expect some really. Good things out. Of the links
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: no Surprise There, we'll go to the meridian trojans, who
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: last year had, wonderful season finished fourth. In state Finished
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Twenty and nine head coach shane stacy's in his twenty
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: first year two hundred and thirty two wins and, two
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three. Losses so he's he's right there
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: he's about. His five, hundred as he gets of course
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: having a. Big, year, last year helped that overall. RECORD
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: but he's seen it all i mean he's he's. Been
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: around A Long long time him and brian roper started
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: coaching on the boys side at the same time and
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: they're both, in a twenty first year. Now which, Is
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Really really cool of course shane stacy, coached a little
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: bit to coach like two or three years on the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: girls side before, coming over to the boys side So
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: he's been doing. This at meridian for a while he
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: was a great three point Shooter back in, The nineties,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: for meridian as well. So yeah he's seen it all, perhaps,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: no team graduates more guys. Though and that's the big.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Issue and, it's not just guys they're. Dudes and. They're
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: not just Dudes The're's big you talk about tallon, Jenkins
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: who Was six foot seven james. Heat all was six foot.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Six Both those, guys are, gone jager fife was you,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: know he's six two six three but a four year guy,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Who's Off, Playing College basketball now brock hogan kenyon james
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: is you talk about guys that are a guy that
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: could not score a point and, be So Impactful in
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: a game that's kenyon james and. He started for them
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: last year he could run all, day and, you put
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: him on you know the other team's, best player and
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: finding that guy like Who will be? That guy for meridian. This.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Year it's Gonna Be tough uh and then nate payne
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: as as a player who's about six foot four, and
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: he's a junior this, year BUT he's not, out there
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: and i you, know he got hurt last year. Wasn't
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: able to finish the, season but he's, he's a Great
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: great baseball player and so i'm pretty sure he's just
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: FOCUSING on baseball, and and, Which i get that you
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: know but the thing is that, if he was playing
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: this year he'd probably be starting the post. Because they
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: really Really Lack, size they do have daniel larson who
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: we had a just a. Tremendous year as a football
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: player he's a. Senior center about six foot five but
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: you look around him, and it's a lot of guards especially.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: The guys. Coming Back with experience you know pierce berzowski,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: was their point guard last year, did a, little bit,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: of everything, you know, six points, three rebounds three, assists
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: two steals hit nineteen threes did some really. Good things
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: in the state tournament but he returns by far the.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Most experienced at the, Varsity Level At, the varsity, level
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: trey alexander returns you know still kind, of guys that
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: nagging ankle injury but he did play in. That first game.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Quite a bit but, he returns he's a. Good shooter
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he's a good leader he can. Do a little bit
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: of everything he's he's definitely unafraid to mix up, with
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: guys much bigger than him, which HE'LL probably, need to
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: because like. I said they're Very Guard, oriented another. Guard
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: is matthew blankenberg a senior one of, the top golfers,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: in the county but he, will if not. The top,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: golfer but he will you know he last year he was.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Kind of that, three point specialist we come in shoot
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of threes and come out and. He'd usually
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: make one of them. He had eighteen threes last year
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: but this year he's gonna, be playing a lot more
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: minutes and he's gonna be. Doing a lot of more
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: things he's, gonna be driving left handed player so it's
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: not gonna be. Just a spot up shooter anymore he's
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: gonna need. To. Do a Lot More things uh senior
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: guard damian, hayes is in his third. Year but again
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: it's another guard he does, look a little taller this year,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: maybe six foot maybe six' one so he might be guarding.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of guys bigger than him but it's, gonna
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: be a lot of you, know running, for these guys
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to see you know if they can tire the other
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: team out and they just have to play efficient and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have. To play bigger than their actual size
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: you know a guy who Can Do. That too is
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: junior guard gabe galbrath loved what he did in. That
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: opening game coming off the bench she. Led them and
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: scoring hit some threes, he's GOT a really really good
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: shot but i think what's what's great about him is
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: he can, he can mixed up inside as well although he's.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Of only about five eleven or so and Then They
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: have a sophomore guard. Named emmett ashmore who he showed
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: me he, showed me something in that, first game hit a,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: couple of threes so they you know it's just a
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: lot of guys that. Are going to be down the
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: outside there WERE times in that First Game when i
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: think early on daniel larson got into some foul trouble
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: and so it was basically, five guards just. Running around
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: out there. And he's coach stacey's done that. Before he's
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: not afraid to do that and sometimes you might give
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: up something, on the defensive end a little bit but
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: but you can make an, opposing defense really frustrated by
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you know running around and getting guys tired and depending,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: on if they're playing man or what and. You can
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: find some openings that way it's going To be a
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: little longer year from meridian than it was last, year
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: because you don't have. That experience you don't have that.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Size But They're still very well coached having rob gray
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: as an assistant is in value, and they will be they,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: you know they, will give teams troubles that's For SURE but,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: they just don't have like i said they don't have
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the size and they don't have the experience that. They've
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: had in the last few years. So we'll see how
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: That All develops, let's go Out To mount baker now
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: who coached, tony clark is in his fourth years. Got
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: A record of fifteen And Fifty what i've loved about
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: the mount baker program the last couple of years is
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the last two years they've doubled their win, total or
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: more from the year prior so they've. Just gotten better
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: and better and better last year. They had nine wins
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: to fourteen losses there was a handful of. LOSSES too
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: where they they had. WINS i mean They Were really.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Close i, remember the mount vernon game you know there.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Were games like That that they had they, beat nukxac
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: valley in the regular season. Almost got him in the
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: district playoffs so. They're they're on the right trajectory now
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: they did lose. Some Big, Time Players, From Last, Year Darius,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Gilstrap Luke. Smith coole luke's chris armbright cameron scott those
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: were all got. That did. A Lot of different, things you,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: know darius gilstrap was just you know a guy that,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: played almost every minute and you know could get got
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of, offensive rebounds and and shot you know
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: could shoot it from down from downtown, and he played a.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Lot Of minutes could handle the, ball luke smith was
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: steady as ever great. From Fifteen, feet out and get
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Rebounds cole lukes i mean went to state is, The
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: high jump in the high jump so you talk. About
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: A guy that can play inside chris armbright Was An,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: ASSASSIN from the outside, and cam, scott i tell you
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: what you know a. Guy that didn't play very many
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: minutes but the guy who's is his his passion for,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the game and his teammates is infectious and. You HAVE
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: to have guys like that and, i think his just
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: his you know his cheering even from the sideline and
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: when he would go in. AND that way they would,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: cheer him i think is a big big thing that.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: People don't realize how important that is and you. Always
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: have to have guys, like that so even his his
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: him him graduating now not and. Not being there will
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: affect the team when. You look at The Guys, coming
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: back it starts. With carter hill a four year starter,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: unfortunately he might miss the entire season, and that is
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: just the biggest bummer especially when you have a head
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: coach who's in his fourth year and you've had this
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: same guy for four years, in the starting lineup all
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: four years and, you look, forward to his senior year
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: great kid and he's injured and. It's just. It's just
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: really too, bad you know it's. Just it sucks. IS what,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: it is WHAT it does, i MEAN it's just i,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: you know when i heard about IT it was such
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: A Bummer because i really thought that mount baker was
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: on the right trajectory and things were getting back to,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you know, how they they they. Were you know, back
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: in the. Nineties and You Know it's just uh and coach,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: tony Clark is such an awesome dude and i've KNOWN
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: him a long long time and i know that he
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: will he will find ways to make this work and,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: with with the pieces that he has and. HE does,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: have some really Good pieces i mean junior. Center kel reard,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: is the real, deal six foot six true, post player
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: gets a lot of rebounds blocks a LOT, of shots
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: as a high basketball iq. AND he's a he gets guys,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: going i mean he rallies. His teammates which is awesome
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: to see so pretty. Pretty excited about him coming back
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Again Just, A, junior senior point guard jordan bailey boy
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that there are there are flashes that he,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: shows when, he plays where it's like? HOLY cow where
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: did that come from i think if he plays with
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: more like a more freeing, way and and just with
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: more confidence he could he could be one of the top.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: PLAYERS in the in the. Whole conference i, really really
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: believe that and you know and he's, gonna be Relied
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: upon a. Lot more especially with carter being out. CARTER
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: handled The Ball quite a bit i think jordan bailey will,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: be handling the ball a. Lot now a lot more
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Than Usual they also have senior guard. Peyton abedia, WHO'S
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: in his third year you know i mean he he
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: was a guy that was a great guy to have come,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: off the bench and and you know left handed and
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: And Reminded, me a lot of like manu ginoble like
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: would just kind of go come into the game and infuse,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: the team with, some big, time moments get everybody going
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: you know knowing it looks Like no one's, Working as

  Speaker 1: and you know he's got that left handed shot and
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: and driving to the, hoop and, playing defense and it's

  Speaker 1: like my goodness like. This kid is putting everything out.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: There and and love watching him play and, he but,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: he might. Be ASKED to you know start now and
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: i loved. What he did coming off the bench but
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: now with You Know now being, a senior and carter
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: hill not available uh he will probably most likely, start
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: because uh he's that you know he's going. To Be
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: needed in that starting lineup gage smith is another kid,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: that came off the bench last year but he. Might be,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: inserted to the. Starting lineup another guard The good, athlete
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: you know all those smith kids they've all They all
• 49:56

• 53:41
  Speaker 1: game over two assists a game. Really good defender can
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: get up and. Down HE had eleven three pointers last
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: year although. I don't think shooting is his main thing,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: is DRIVING to the WHO playing playing defense, and i,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: think that i think that he you know is hopefully
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: he's ready to take that next step and. Be kind
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: of the leader on this team but he got a
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: lot of guys around. Him That, are eager, to take
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: that step dane ackerman, a junior not exactly built, like
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: his brother more of, an outside player but can play you.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Know forward and bang down low as well, but he
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: can shoot it from. The Outside really good touch from.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: The outside owen wickers who's, now a senior. He's a
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: little taller now about six' three he's a guy that
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: can shoot it and, do, a, lot of different things
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: with the. Ball pass Rebound All sorts of stuff like
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: that junior guard weston silvis got a lot Of playing
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: time last year, kind of backing up cayden houghtonk at.
• 54:37

• 55:26
  Speaker 1: know that that that power and that toughness. Down Low,

  Speaker 1: is going to, be great to see trevin steenstra just,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: a sophomore had a breakaway dunk IN game one but
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: it was called back because i. Think he took one
• 55:39

  Speaker 1: knocks down his foul shots i don't know. If he's
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: one hundred Percent off the football season he did Play In.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: Week one or, in game one against marysville. Pilchuck so
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: you know he did. Some GOOD things had eight assists
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: in that. Game so I Think, He is, ready to
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: go senior forward zavior kelly my goodness. What a bang
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to the start of. The season. He had, JUST had
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: an outrageous game you know last year i think. He was,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: the second. Leading rebounder in the county can do can.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Do he's a guy that can literally do everything he,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: might fill up the stat sheet on every category like
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: like one of, those, guys, that, can, leave the. Team
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: in rebounds points steals assists blocks three POINTERS he's one
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: of those kinds of players and i would not. Put
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: it past him for him to do that might Be
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: hard for him to, lead an assists with NOLAN right.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: ON the, team but you know what i mean i
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: mean he's just. He's A guy that can. Do all
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: those THINGS quincy tannevian is a guy, THE first time,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: i saw, him as, A freshman I was like you,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: KNOW during, pregame, i even i think game one i
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: thought man, who's this, kid like shooting like they. Let
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: him you. Know shoot around with the team that's that's
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: cool and. THEN he goes, out there, for THE starting
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: lineup i was like he's starting and i looked at
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the roster and he was like, a five eight freshmen
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: and he. Looked so young and looked like. A sixth,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: grader and, then he started hitting? Threes, i'm like my
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: goodness who is, this kid well, he's gotten a lot
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: bigger now left. Handed shot he's a deadly shooter from
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: the outside, He had twenty five points in that season,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: opener so look for. HIM to have a big big
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: year this year i think doing a lot more stuff
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: than just spotting, up for threes and so and, he's
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: you know he's, kind of that third option second or
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: third option so. That will really Leave Him wide open
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: down low you got senior cole. Terrell who's been, doing
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: it a, long, long time not exactly, tall but, extremely
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: wide strong and he's very athletic good hands so, it
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: gets really if. He gets positioned on you, you're not
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: going anywhere, he will get the rebound which is you,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: know and, last year he missed half the. Season you
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: know coming off an, injury during football this year. He's
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: coming In Healthy which is great to see and then.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Klay jackson is a. Knockdown shooter from the outside hit
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: twenty four threes so that's another guy that's gonna benefit
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: from the play inside and they can kick it out.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: To him and He's Gonna be pretty darn good, you
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: also got channer rusk coming off, the bench another guy that,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: can Hit the three especially the. Corner Three shot so
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: i'm really excited, about that logan. Rogers is coming out
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: to play which is. Awesome talk about the big six
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to four linemen it's. Just a, can take, up a
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: ton of Space it's like you know he get back
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: up coleterrell and comes in and it looks. The Exact,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: same even. Maybe a little bit bigger aidan simmons same thing.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: ANOTHER lineman that can come IN and run around a.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Couple of guys on i have question marks about, I'm
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Not quite Sure Is, they're on the roster carter duckworth
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: and lockeye fungatua who obviously. WE'VE been talking about for
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: years in multiple. Sports i just don't know their availability
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: this season i'm not quite sure if other sports are getting.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: Involved or how often they'll, Be ABLE to, play they
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: are on the roster like i, said THEY were not.
• 1:00:56

• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: know they're both six three six four guys that. CAN
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: really Add To that firepower of this team i think
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: see home will take. One of, the biggest leaps this
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: year from. WINS you know they had six wins last
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: year i would expect them to. BE in the middle
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: the high teens this year i think they really have
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: the ability to do that if everybody can stay healthy
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: and they can continue to do what they do even.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: THOUGH they don't they don't really have huge size i
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if they even have. A Guy taller than
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: six three on, the team, Logan rodgers might be six,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: To Three you know lockie might. Be, six THREE carter
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: duckworth might be sixty three uh it's i don't know.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: If they have a guy that six's four taller but
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: if you get, guys to play the right way and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: you know good teamwork and passing and you just do
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: it The Right, way, AND nobody knows it better than brad.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Jackson well i think they'll be just just fine So.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Expects really good good things out of the mariners the.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Last team to talk about the squalor. Them Storm, last
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: year they, went twelve and eleven david dunham. The head
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: coach is in his second year now, lost Some really
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: big time players from last, year including locke Who Transferred,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: over to see him but they graduated marcus nixon who
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: when we, talk, about, a, guy, that, leads in every
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: category points rebounds assist. Steeles blocks he might have. Done That,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: last year, just that kind, of athlete. Jackson Hoeer you
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: know three point specialist is gone ezra nichols did. All
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: this stuff. Down In The, paint last year he is
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: gone and, ty hoffman who really got after it on,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: it especially on the defensive side of the ball that could.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Just run and run and. Run all game long he has,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: graduated as well When You, Look at the returners it.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Begins with hunter callaway there's no doubt about that in his,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: third year as a starter as the point guard, one
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: of the most dynamic players in the CONFERENCE a guy.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: That's poised to be a conference. MVP type player he
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: is banged up right now i don't. Know how much of,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: the Season he will miss i've heard different things. So
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: i'm kind of just staying open with it they Have
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: not played, a game yet as the, time I'M recording this,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: they will, be playing tonight but i don't know you,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Know kind of where they're at, with all that so
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: we will we. Will See but hopefully he'll be ready
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: to go blake elston is a guy, who really came,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: out of the scene, last year had a big big
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: game early on and then had to kind of. Live
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: up to that the rest of the year, but he's,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: a guy that can, handle THE ball play defense Can shoot,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: the three and i think especially if hunter's out he will,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: be relied upon to do a lot of stuff be.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: The main ball handler and score most likely rees knowlton's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: a guy last year who. CAME off the bench and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: hit some key threes i think. HE'LL be playing a
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: lot more minutes this year a guy that joined the
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: team KIND of halfway through The Year Up, from the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: jv is junior center. O'Ryan grandberg, kittle who's, about six
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: four six' five i think you know, STARTING the year
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: with him in the in the. Post i think his
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: numbers are gonna jump way up there are certain guys
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: that you can kind of, see it, coming where they're gonna,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: have their biggest improvement you know IN the whole conference
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: and HE'S one of the guys i look to and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: say i could see him, going way. Up in the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: numbers and having a. Big BIG year he had these
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: brief moments last year but, i think now with All the,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: guys that have graduated and then especially if hunter's hurt he's.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Gonna be a big part of their offense and defense,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: and then, you got a lot of other guys. That
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: you know nobody Else Has, That much Varsity. Experience you,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: got the osby ornson brothers anson and asher. You know

• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: the big big Thing Is kurt Is Hunter callaway it's
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: a lot like carter hill with mount baker when you
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: got your, best turning guy who might be out for
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: a while a guy, that can, average easy, double digits.
