• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Wacome Preps Podcast. This is episode of three hundred and nine,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the first of four podcasts saying goodbye to the Class
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five. I'm rather Spencer. Along with me
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: as always is Tyler Anderson. What Come Preps? Tyler, how
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: are we doing? Doing good? Doing good?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You know, just all celebrated a little Thanksgiving last night
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and I was telling Laura last night. I was like,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna be recording these podcasts where we
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: say goodbye to the seniors and it's just they're just
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: hard to do. And she's like, well, is it because
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it's emotional. I said, yeah, it's it's kind of emotional.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It's kind of the last time for certain athletes we
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: get we will talk about and it's kind of one
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of those things that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: You sprung on me.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Five years ago, but it's become a tradition now and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it's pretty cool.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've done that a lot over the years, where
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I put you in a really uncomfortable spot and then
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: somehow we make it work. Yeah, and this has now
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: become a yearly thing that we do or and I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: guess we should mention it's not just saying goodbye to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the senior class. It's saying goodbye to the football players
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: of the senior class now that we're doing the Walkcomb
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Preps podcast, not the Wokcam County Football Podcast, because I
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: do need to mention that, So we'll write that into
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the the intro here for the next ones. But yeah,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Tyler, if there's an athlete that's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: not making the top one hundred or not getting an
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: award at the end of the year, this is the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: last time they might ever get mentioned on walkcom Preps, right.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Especially if they don't play any other sports in winter,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: spring and stuff like that. So and it could be
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of kids that we've talked a lot about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and this could be it, you know. And it's funny
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: because I was at basketball practice a couple of days
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ago and I was talking to Brent Hepner and and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: he just kind of, you know, he's still kind of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: down about not playing football anymore. And he said, so,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: are you, like, is fall kind of done for you now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and I said, well, you know, we're gonna be saying
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: goodbye to the seniors, and we're gonna be doing the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: top one hundred and for football, in the top fifty
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: for volleyball, which is already going. And he just kind
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of I think he just didn't want to say goodbye
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to fall, you know, he was kind of hoping that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: there'll still be.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Something to hang on to.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And and yeah, it's just it is one of those
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: things though, where now it's like you said, it's become
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a tradition and we do it every year and and uh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it is kind of fun to talk about each.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Kid and and.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: My memories and what I've seen over the years and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: share stories and just have fun with it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It started with Nuksack Valley, right.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just kind of we were talking about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I think a week ten game against Oak Harbor where
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: they were out of the playoffs, and you were like,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: but this is a pretty good senior.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Glass, tell me about all of them? How much? Huh
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You're like, okay, what was it? What was that like? Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I think you had the roster up.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And you were like, this kid's a this kid's a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: three point seven student.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, we just kind of did our thing and like, okay,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: here we go. And then I think when we were
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: done with the podcast, I probably said, crap, now we've
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: got to do every other team. Huh yeah. Right. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it's funny because at first when you do it, you're like, oh,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know, great, now we got to talk about every
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: other team, But then as you do it, it's like, actually,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it's kind of fun. It is cool. It is kind
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of fun, and you know, I get to hear about
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: some names that you know, maybe maybe I only heard
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: once or twice randomly, or you know whatever, and so
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: it is fun. We need to give a thank you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to Lincoln Thomas of Ferndale for the intro. Not only
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: were we going to talk about him today, but I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: think he's the first one. He is, yeah, the first
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: one we're even gonna talk about here in a little bit.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But before we go too far, Tyler, let's talk sponsorships.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Winter sports are here? Are fall sports done? I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the only thing left is the top one hundred and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: that has a sponsor, right.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the top fifties going right now, the top one
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hundred already has a sponsor. So everything for fall sports
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is pretty much wrapped up as far as sponsorships go,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but as far as winter sports go, there's still some openings.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: The daily recaps, I'm telling you that's that's a big one.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And there are there is some back and forth right now.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of where people are.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: They want to do something, they just don't know what yet,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: so things might start getting gobbled up pretty fast. See
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: gobble still on the Turkey thing. But but yeah, there's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you know, there's other sports going on. You know, boys
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: swim and dive will be coming up, and and uh
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of course Stoff insurance all over that.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And what about wrestling. Wrestling? Wrestling is wide open. I mean,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it's just there. It's there for the taking. I want
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to talk. Yeah, yeah, well I need to get more
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: info from the coaches.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Is that there's a few that are that are willing
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to do anything and send me information. There's a lot
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of different sites and different stuff that show stuff that's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: happened wrestling. Yeah, yeah, there's wrestling, right So there's little
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: things like that that I need to become a little
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: bit more familiar with.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But you know, some of the head coaches are very
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: uh old school, and you know, they're like.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're not out here, then what should I like.
• 5:13

• 5:16
  Speaker 2: but you know, it's all good.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, I just want to get as many
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: sports and kids involved as I can and to see

• 8:58
  Speaker 2: remember off the top of my head what date we
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: had is the first football podcast that would be. I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: think it was like December sixteenth, something like that, seventeenth,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: eighteenth somewhere around there. Well, it would be three a day,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: so yeah, eighteenth at like I don't know, eight ten

• 9:19
  Speaker 2: we talk nineteen guys at a time until we get
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: down to number five, then five, four, three, two, one
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: one each get their own. So when I say this,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not lying. There's a ton of podcasts coming up.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So if you're not subscribed, then you better be checker
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Walk and preps every single day because there might be
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: one up. I mean, it's gonna be gonna be hot
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and heavy if you if you want to put it
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that way, there's there's a lot of the good thing
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: is Tyler. A lot of this stuff we can record
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: ahead of time, and we will and we will so
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: that we can try to take Christmas off if we can.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I think you told me it could be wrong. We're
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: already ten minutes that we haven't talked about single Senior.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think you told me you've got the top one
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: hundred done, or at least you've got the hundred names.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: You got some stuff to do. Though.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I have the hundred names, and I have them in order,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and I think I'm I think I'm happy with the list.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: It's it's funny because sometimes when especially with the top
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: five or ten, I like to kind of go over
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it with you, and sometimes you you just put your
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: hands up, You're like no, no, it's all you yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: like like I, and sometimes you're like, you know, I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: kind of curious.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: So we you and I have not talked about it yet,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: have not. It's uh, it was really really tough. Uh
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: this Like I like I always say, I look at
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: all the rosters.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I put little checks next to guys who are deserving,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and then I put them onto excel sheet and usually
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: there's about one hundred and eight to one hundred and fifteen.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Usually I'm like, okay, crap, I got to cut a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: couple of guys off. This time there was over one
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty, so it was the most I've ever had.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So that was hard, really really tough. Yeah, So you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but I.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Would assume there's some seniors that didn't make the cut,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, yeah, which which is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: tough because it's their last opera. Maybe even a and
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to put you on the spot here,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: but maybe even a senior or two that might have
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: been on it last year, you know what I mean. Like,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: it's it's tough, it's it's it's something that I don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: think people understand the amount of effort that goes into
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: it and the amount of heartbreak for you that goes
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: into it because you're like, man, I like that guy,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: but I got to keep him off because this guy
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: deserves to be on it. I mean, there's a lot
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: of thought that goes into it. It's not like you
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: just fling it out there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't make it the top one hundred
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and twenty five, you know, I can't. I can't change
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it to that at some point. Now, what's crazy is that,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you know what I was realizing a couple of days
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: ago that it was ten years ago when I put
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: out my top five hundred list of.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: The history of all time. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And I was like, holy cow, like that was in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. That was And then of course I kind
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of want to redo it or even even make a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: top one thousand some day, but I got to I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: want to get to a good point to where I.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Can do that. Yeah, but you know, that's that's that's
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: down the road. But love list, you know, yeah, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: mean a top five hundred, there's probably gonna be you know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: six or seven guys from this year that could be
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: argument to get in. Oh you know, and oh yeah.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of that goes into it. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: mean it's it's always hard. It's especially hard, Like how
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: do you put linemen in there? Right? Like it's yeah,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: there's no stats to justify your argument, you know. So
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of thought that goes into that stuff. Man,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: people don't understand the amount of time. But yeah, uh, Tyler,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: let's talk Ferndale and squal them. How about that? Yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: let's do it all right. The first one, we're gonna
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: talk about six two twenty five tight end, inside linebacker
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and a kicker. He's number five. Gave us the intro today.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It's a Lincoln Thomas. Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Talk about a player that everybody, every team would love
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to have.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you want to.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Have that guy that can kind of be that Swiss
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: army knife. You know, was a quarterback before you know,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: growing up, I mean he was. He was that guy
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of that class. And then eventually I think going into
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: his junior year, they need did their best eleven on
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the field. You have a senior in Bishop Boots. He
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: has the quarterback at that time, so you put him
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: at tight end. He's a big, strong kid, so you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: can do that. Always was a mainstay at linebacker the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: last couple of years and then this year a couple
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of weeks in the season, Caden Neldridge gets hurt, so
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he becomes the kicker too, and he was a great kicker,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So it's I mean, you know, it doesn't surprise me
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: that whatever he turns to he's really good at. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: he's just one of those kinds of players. And he's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a great kid too. I mean watching him play basketball,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he's that guy where he's gonna guard the opponent's best player,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know, and he's he's probably gonna take three or
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: four shots a game. He's not asked to score, he's
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: asked to do all the dirty work. He's gonna set
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the screens, he's gonna get steals, he's gonna get some rebounds,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna be the sweetest player when the game's done.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And you're like, well, he didn't look he didn't do anything.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah he did.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: He's doing everything that the guys don't want to do.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: He's he's running around trying to guard the best player
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: on the opposed team, and that's you love guys like that.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And he's like that with with football. I mean, he
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: just he filled he filled so many things in his career.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Twelve catches for one hundred and eighty three yards. Obviously
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: not asked to do a ton of catching the ball,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: but when he did, I mean he was, you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: close to fifteen yards of catch there. So uh so
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: made some plays in the receiving game, but a really
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: good run blocker. Defensively in his career, eighty one tackles,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: seven tackles for loss, four passes broken up, and two
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback sacks. And then he also kicked twenty seven extra
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: points and I think I think he only missed one.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So that's really impressive.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Where you know, they needed to find someone fast to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: be able to kick.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I remember that not your position.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I remember that first game when he when
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: he started kicking his he had kickoffs that were as
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: good or better than anybody in the county. And his
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: extra points were just rockets right down the middle high
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: every single time. I mean, it was like he just
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: became like the best kicker in the county. How come
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: no one knew about this? But that tells you like
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the surplus of kickers Ford had. But just a great
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: overall player and I'm excited to watch him for a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: basketball season.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: He's one of those guys that. It just sounds like
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the type of guy that makes high school sports awesome,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like he may not go
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: on and play in college, but he's one of those
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: guys that you end up remembering because of how how
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: good he was just doing a lot of different things.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely Swiss army knife to the fullest, you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: at the highest degree.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a really really good player. Next up,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: six two one ninety wide receiver corner number six Israel Kennerley. Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I really took.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: A good leak, a big step up from his junior
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: year to senior year. Started at corner all year. Had
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: three interceptions this year I think one week he had
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I think he had two of them in one game
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and he was ended up being defensive player of the week.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Another guy that can kind of do a lot of things.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago he was he was a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: backup as a wing back. Had five carries for twenty
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: four yards. This this year he was kind of the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: primary X receiver. Typically Ferndale's wing T offense will have
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: one guy split out. It was him not afraid to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: go over the middle, which is huge.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Tough kid, I'm.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Pretty sure a lacrosse player, so you kind of you know,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you love those those kinds of guys. Ferndale seems to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: have a lot of those kinds of guys. You know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: built pretty well, like you said, six two, one hundred
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and ninety pounds, so really good size, especially for a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: high school receiver and a corner.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Did catch four.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Passes for forty two yards there are usually tough earned
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: ones for a first down over the middle. Had eight
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: kickoff returns for one hundred and forty four yards, had
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: three punt returns for forty.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Seven yards in his career.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: But defensively, I think he really stood out as it
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was mostly just all this year too when he became
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the starter. Thirty two and a half tackles, ten passes
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: broken up this year. I think he was maybe third
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: in the county this year. Uh the three interceptions like
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I said, for ten yards, and he did have a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: quarterback sack as well.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, a really good overall athlete that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You know can really stick on his guy really really well,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and a really.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Strong tackler, and and.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Uh there's been there's just been a kind of a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: long list of really good secondary players for Ferndale and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the big thing that always sticks out to me is
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: they're all big time tacklers. Sometimes you hear about guys
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in the secondary that you hear, oh, he's a willing tackler.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: That's a you know, that's a that's a coach saying
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: he's not a great tackler, but he's yeah, yeah, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: but but he's but but Ferndale secondary is never like that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: They're all really good tacklers. They just they just always
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: have been. And he falls in that category. Good really
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: good player.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Five ten, one seventy five running back, safety. It's number
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: seven that Zach Nielsen. What a crazy career there.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know, there was wasn't a ton of consistency as
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: far as when you look from year to year to year.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I mean as a freshman he played at Seahome and
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and he got a little bit of run as a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: varsity kid, and then and then is I think the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: last game of the year, he started the game at
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: safety and had a few carries and and did impressed
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: me so much that he was in the running for
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Freshmen of the Year. Uh talk about you know, this
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: senior class is just loaded. We probably haven't seen a
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: senior class with as much talent We've seen very some
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: high end talent, but as much talent as this one.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And since we've been doing the podcasts that I can remember, Yeah,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and he and he was right in there as far
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: as a guy that you were like, he could be amazing.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: He transfers to Ferndale and blows up.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: As far as he's gonna He's starting, you know, running back,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: he's starting at safety, he's returning kicks, he's returning punts.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He did so much on that really high level team
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that you saw them in person.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: He did that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: That was when he had that little somersault run where
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: he kind of like got hit and flipped over and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: landed on his feet and kept running. I remember that
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: was like on King five News and stuff, and you
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: were texting me about it that you were like right there,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like hey, it just happened like right in front of me.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So you'll you're never gonna believe this until you
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: see it.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Right and uh, and just was on his way to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: doing so many things. In his junior year, he plays
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: tennis and he was their number one singles guy, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: he loves tennis and he went out there and did
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that for a little bit. And then this year he
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: came back, and it was a struggle this year. I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: mean he missed a big chunk of the year in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the middle of the year getting being hurt. He came back,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: played pretty well in that final game defensively but offensively
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: just never really got it going. But still all in
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: all put together a really good career. We have numbers
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: despite never kind of every year was just a little
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: different as far as there were nothing from year to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: year that was consistent. Carried the ball one hundred and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: seventy three times for nine hundred and sixty one yards
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns. He also caught ten passes for one
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: hundred nineteen yards and two touchdowns, eighteen kickoff returns for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: four hundred and forty yards. That's a pretty big number.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Two punt returns for fifteen yards. And then defensively, despite
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: all the back and forth and the injuries and not playing,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: still had over one hundred tackles from the safety spot,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: one hundred and four and a half tackles, three and
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a half tackles for loss, eleven passes broken up, three
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and he only had one
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: interception where he returned at forty nine yards for a touchdown,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: so major, major playmaker. I'd be really curious to see
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: what would have happened if he would have played his
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: junior year because he could have put some numbers way
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: up their career wise. But still, I give the kid
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit for doing what he wanted to do.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It's not like he just sat out and didn't play.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Any school wanted to give it a shot.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: He did it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: He was their best tennis player, came back to football
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and and it was in. He was in the mix
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: to play quarterback this year. You know, so there was
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: he's that kind of talent where you know you and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: he had to take over that spot, that kind of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: that Rover spot that Connor Walker left behind. So you're
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: filling in huge shoes on defense, and that's you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: where you're asked to do a lot of different things,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: whether it's safety or come up and kind of play
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in the box. You have to be a good tackler.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You got to be able to stay with the slot receiver.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: You got to you know, you're kind of running the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: defense there. I mean, you're doing so much stuff and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: for him to come back that, you know, that really
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: helped them out the injury, of course, was really too
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: bad right in the middle of their year when they
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: were having those struggles, and you know, it's it kind
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of shows what kind of player he is. And I'm
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: so glad he was able to come back and finish
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the year. But a really interesting career for Zach zach Nielsen.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: And he's a kid that I love watching playing football.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So it's too bad that that that's over for him.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: But a really really good career.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it could be mistake in the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: way that you say inconsistent. It's not a yeah, it's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: not a bad an inconsistent player.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: There was just yeah, there was nothing that went from
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: year to year that was the same as the year before.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. It's not like like Land and Hatchett had
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: it consistent. It was like every year he just consistently
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: got better and better and better and better. Whereas Zach Neilson,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: it was like as a freshman he was at Seahome.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: As a sophomore he was You're like, hey, this guy's
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: going to be one of the best players that maybe
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: has ever come through Ferndale. And then all of a
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: sudden he goes to play status. Then he goes back
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: senior year. Yeah. Yeah, the sophomore year was his best year.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: It's just a career, you don't see. No, it was
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: put it this way, it was a wild ride. It
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: was a wild right, But you know what, everything he
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: did it was fun to watch because everything he did
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: he attacked it and was great at it. You know. Yeah,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Next up six eighty five offensive line defensive line at
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: number fifty one, Isaac Ollinger Tyler, who I think he
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: told me as the first year player.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I think so, you know, it's hard. I don't see
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: him on any other rosters previous. And you know, I
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: played with guys that when their senior year came out,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: when they're when their senior year came up, they decided
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to come out for football, And a lot of times
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: it's because you know, their parents are you know, they
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: need them to maybe work or they need to do stuff.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But then they're allowed to play their their senior year.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And football is one of those sports where you're kind
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of behind the eight ball if you come out late,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and so it's hard to find spots to crack the lineup.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: The Ferndal always does a really good job of of
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of on kickoff and especial especially on kickoff, but kickoff
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: return where you'll see you'll see after a kickoff where
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: everybody will run down and then and then everybody runs
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: off the field and a new eleven come on the field,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you know, and so you know, he was probably a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: part of that and doing all sorts of different things
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to help out his team on scout team things.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Like that, you know, Tyler. We had a kid this
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: year that played his first year at Bothel. Yeah, a
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: name that you might recognize, Jordan Minor. Jordan Minor. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: you know it was it's exactly what it was. He
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: came out and I don't know if he uh, I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: don't know when he transferred into Baffle from Knoksack Valley,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: but he was a great Scout team player for us.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, a great scout team player for us. But
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: it was speed. Yeah, yeah, but it was hard for
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: us because it was like, you know, it's you're coming
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: out the first time we get to see you as
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: a senior. So it's like you're, like you said, you're
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: behind the eight ball, you know. And we had a
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: couple other kids. There was one kid this year, Tyler.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: He was six five and you know, one hundred and
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: ninety five pounds, like, could have been a really good
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: player for US, but he never played football until his
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: senior year. And he even said to me at the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: end of the year, he goes, I wish I would
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: have started as a freshman. Yeah, He's like, I wish,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I wish I would have done it as a freshman
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: because I think it would have been a lot better.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, you're probably right. He was
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: a great scout team player for US too, you know
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: what I mean. And it's like, man, I wish we
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: had him for four years, you know. But next up
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Tyler six to two twenty offensive line, defensive line number
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: fifty four, Brian Attackett.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another guy that's been in the program for a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: while but jumped around different positions, played some tight end,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: defensive end.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Then they put a fifties number on them. Offensive lineman,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman, another kid on special teams, good size, six
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: two two twenty and just another program guy that was
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you know, probably knew he wasn't going to get a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: ton of playing time, but he's gonna get the play
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: against the best players, uh, every day in practice and
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and help your team get get ready for Friday night.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: And I tell you what Scout Team is so important
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: with with all these teams, and I know, like certain
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: schools like Lynden even they at the end of the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: year they give out Scout Team Players of.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: The Year awards, So uh, it's a it's.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: A really big deal when they can emphasize something on
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: those kinds of kids.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: We gave out three Scout Team Players of the award
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: at our banquet on Tuesday night, Tyler and then our
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: head coach actually brought it up and he goes, you,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: guys want to know who the two Scout Team Players
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: of the Year were last year? And then he said
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: it and by the way, both those guys all league
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: players this year. Absolutely, And it was like as soon
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: as he said it. As soon as he asked, I went,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: you know what, I don't remember who it was. And
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: then he said the names and I went, oh, yeah,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: that's right, Like and you kind of knew, like, hey,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: these guys could be good players for us next year.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: The three guys that want it this year, we expect
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: them all to step right in and become starters next year,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: you know, and absolutely absolutely.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I mean when you're at practice and they're like, we
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: need a defensive end. Just just get in there. Yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you know, coaches love that. Coaches love when you show
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: yes that you you show that you want to get
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in there and do whatever it takes, you.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Know, and if you don't know what you're doing, just
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: go one hundred and ten miles an hour and it'll
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: work just fine. Like eventually they'll go, hey, we just
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: got to get him dialed in. His effort is phenomenal,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: you know, exactly. That's exactly what That's exactly what we
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: had this year. We had three guys that want it,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and all three of them it's like, well, now we
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: just got to get them to be a little more consistent.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: The effort is one hundred percent there, man. And you
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: know what, when we started hitting our stride late in
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the season, it was when our yellow hats got dialed in.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: When they got dialed in and they started humming all
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, it made our team that much better.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: And there's something to be said about those guys, man,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: let me tell you. But uh, next up five to eleven,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: two ten, offensive line, defensive end, and kicker, because how
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: many guys they got to play kicker and play two
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: other positions? Time? Oh my goodness, number fifty five. It's
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Kayden Eldridge. Yeah, this is this is tough.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And it's really too bad that he is a senior
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: because he did get hurt early in the year and
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: he was contributing in a lot of other ways.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was starting.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: At defensive end and just he had that low center
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of gravity with big, strong legs and he could get
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: around the edge and was.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: So good at you know.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: It, just he was just so so strong and I thought,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: oh man, he's going to make a huge difference as
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: a defensive end. And he was really starting to play well.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: And his kicking has always been great. He took he
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: took over for the kickoffs and uh or maybe maybe
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: not the kickoffs, but the kicking points kind of halfway
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: through his junior year and so, you know, I remember
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: seeing him out in the spring for soccer.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And it was just a nasty injury.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And I want to say it was the Oak Harbor
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: game and it kind of caused them to have to
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: go for two later and they did get it, but
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: it was like, you know, kind of right in the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: middle of the game, he had to adjust on the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: fly and yeah, and I was just it's just really
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: too bad. You hate to see a senior go down
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and miss the rest of the year like that. But
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: did have two carries for eight yards earlier in his
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in his career as a running back. But you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: and he was I think he even might have been
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: starting on the offensive line as a guard too.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I mean he was.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: He was poised to have a really big year as
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a senior, do a lot of different different things, and.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: It's just too bad that he got hurt.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Before he got hurt, eight and a half tackles, he
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: knocked down a pass with the line of scrimmage. In
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: his career, he had thirty five extra points. He kicked
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a field goal as well. I think that was earlier
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: this year in Week one against Lindon. I think it
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: was a long one too. I mean he had a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: massive leg, big time power, a lot of touchbacks, and yeah,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I just I just hate it when a senior loses
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: most of their year due to an injury in it
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and it's really too bad. So I'm glad we're able
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to to honor him here at least a little bit
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and talk about him, because he was he was all
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: set up, you know, he was all set up to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: have a great, great year and and uh yeah, it's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: really really too bad because that's a that's a kid
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: they really could have used on both sides of the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: ball to kind of help them maybe get be a
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: little bit better, a little bit more consistent throughout the season.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I think he even got picked a couple of times
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: in the in the fantasy. Didn't he before getting hurt? Yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: yeah he did. I mean he was a top notch
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: kicker for sure. Next up Tyler six one five guard
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle number sixty Wyatt Street.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Major strength started on both sides of the ball. Probably
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: your favorite to win the heavyweight State championship for three
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: A this upcoming year.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. For his size, he.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Can really really move and that's what's really really impressive.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And when you have a guy that big that can move,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you get really excited and you go, ooh, guard, you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I want.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: You to be able to move.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And then but even on the defensive side of the ball,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, he made a lot of big time plays
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that really stood out. And then him teamed up with
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: culshal in the valley on the inside was really difficult
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: for some teams to deal with.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And they've i mean they've.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Just had these guys over the years, whether you know
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the Camden Raymonds and those kinds of guys.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Going back, those defensive lines over the years have been
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: so good, even Land and Hatchett before he got moved
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: out to defensive end. But yeah, White White straight had
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a big, big time year. Thirty one and a half tackles,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: six tackles for lass, had three quarterback sacks, and he
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: forced a fumble. That kid is you know, the first
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: play and the hundredth play, he's going the same speed.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: And you know, usually when you find those kids, they're
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: really good wrestlers. That's just that's what they know. That's
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: that's how they go. So I'm not surprised at all.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: But a two way starter the entire year and a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: really good player.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe finished second last year. I want to
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: say in the state tournament. Yeah yeah, really good wrestler.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you place in the state tournament, I
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: don't care what anybody says, you're really good. Oh yeah yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: next up, six foot two, fifteen offensive line, defensive end
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: number sixty one, rond hah. Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: And he was kind of the beneficiary of for one
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: of them of Caden Eldridge's injury, so pretty good size
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: similar to Caden Eldridge, So you kind of move him
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: into those spots where he's playing some guard, played a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: lot of defensive and opposite of Talon Bung guard him
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and the freshman Chance Hatchet kind of going back and
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: forth on the rotating at that other side on the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: defensive end, and he made some he made some really
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: good plays. And you know, you never want to see
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: injuries happen, but when you have guys that are ready
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: to step right in and play, that's really really nice
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to have. I mean, I remember there was a big,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: big play on third down when he knocked down a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: pass and and that was that was a big play
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: at the moment of whatever game that was I remember,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: but I've met I think it was kind of early
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: in his playing, you know, after the injury, and he
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: came in and kind of made an impact right away.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Seven and a half tackles won, tackles for loss and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: that pass broken down, you know, and when you're giving
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: your opportunity that you just got to make.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: The most of it, and he definitely did. Next up
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: five eight two twenty offensive line Defensive line number sixty seven.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Justin Dudley.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: There's a few of these guys that are, you know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: built low to the ground that I just fly around
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: on special teams, and he's one of them. And Justin Delly,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: he's been in the program for a while and he's like,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: if you want to set up a guy for kickoff,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at a guy five eight two
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: twenty and you're like, oh man, yes, run down there
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: as fast as you can and just blow blow stuff up.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: That was that was what he was good at.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I mean he was He was a one of the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: main backups too, on both both sides of the ball.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Could come in and spell some guys, but he really
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: shined on special teams.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Five eight two oh five. Another one offensive line defensive
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: line Tyler Sumber seventy four, this time Dominic Bailey.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Very very similar here, a little bit smaller, but very
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: very similar. Had a couple tackles on special teams. I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: didn't track all of the tackles on Ferndale's kickoffs because
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: they they and I know why, but they like, they
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: don't like to zoom in a ton on kickoffs because
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: there's so much stuff going on on the entire field.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: So it was hard to track all of the kickoffs,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: so him and Dudley probably had more tackles than that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: on kickoffs, but I was able to track two of them.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: But another kid that is running down the line and
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: blowing stuff up and making things happen.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: We go from short and stout to absolutely massive tyler
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: six three three seventy tackle defensive tackle number seventy seven.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Halston hadrath Yeah, one of my favorites. Uh.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Started on the offensive line all year as the as
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you could say, right tackle most of the time, but
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: they'd play strong and quick side, so he was a
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: strong side tackle next to the tight end, next to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Lincoln Thomas, and Lincoln Thomas a big kid at six
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: two two twenty five.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, he just made him look tiny. Uh.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Hadrath Is is just a massive force that could move
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit and you get you know he could
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: when he pushing some guys around. Uh, it's you're not
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: going to push him back very easily.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: And then they'd put him in the interior the defensive
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: line here and there on goal line situation stuff like that,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: maybe third and one, third and two stuff like that
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: as well. And but he was kind of in the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: rotation along with straight and la Valley too, So you
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: know it's a great player. But I'll tell you what
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: six six tackles on the season. But my favorite play
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: was late in the game. I want to say. It
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: was against Marysville Getchel and they're up pretty big. Bung
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: guard just ran in a long touchdown run and Lincoln
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Thomas goes to kick the extra point and he runs
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: over and he kind of taps had Wrath, who's playing
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: right tackle, on the helmet and they switch. Thomas goes
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: to the line, Hadrath goes back to.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Kick the extra point. He makes it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Crowd goes nuts, absolutely crazy.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: One of my favorite moments.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: And he's celebrating, I mean he's putting his arm in
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the air and he was.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: It was so cool to see.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, you just do not see a kicker that big,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and you kind of think, like, you know, we had
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: fun with Land and hatchet punting a few years ago, Yeah,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and you kind of go, I wonder if they did
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that to see just to I don't know if they
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: talked it over with the coach.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: They were up by about thirty five or forty points
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: at them at the time, and it was late in
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the game. But it was just so funny because they
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: actually switched. I mean, Lincoln Thomas went over and said,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: how about you kick getting I'll get down here. I
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: mean that's you could see it playing his day on
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the film and it was just so funny. But it
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: was awesome and he's given the chance and he makes it,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: So that was really really cool. Uh Yeah, Halston Hadrath
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: a really good senior year. Started all year on the
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: offensive line, so and then played sparingly on defense too.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: So I give a lot of credit to a kid
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that at that size. I mean, that's that's tough to
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: get up, get around and go to practice every day
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: and work your butt off and and uh so that's
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I give him a ton of credit because
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: that's really really impressive.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Six seventy offensive line defensive line number seventy nine, Jacob Kennedy.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a he's a one of the main backups
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that would that would come in played I think play
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit more defense, I want to say than offense. Uh,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: but did did make a stop behind the line of
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: scrimmage this year.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Uh. Really really impressive.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: A kid that I think if he could have started,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: if he played it a smaller school because whenever he
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: would come in, uh late in the game, he would
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: he would make plays. He kind of stood out because
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: usually when those the backups would come in, they traditionally
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: they all kind of come in at the same time
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: or maybe on the same drive. And so when that happens,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: and I know you're you look for this too when
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you were doing media stuff, is you you kind of go, Okay,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: who's gonna stand out here?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: This is a whole new group. Who were these young guys?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And he's he's not one of the young guys, but
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: as when all the backups will come in, he was
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the guy that stood out to me. And so that
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: you know, it's too bad that he's a senior, but
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: he's a guy that I think could have could have
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: done quite a bit on a different team maybe, but
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: but limited here because of the top end talent that
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Ferndale had, but still got to play quite a bit.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Six one five wide receiver, defensive back. It's number eighty four,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Diego Castro Cerventis Tyler, who believe again you told me
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: looks like a first year player.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe so again another one like you said,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: first year player didn't see his name on some other
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: rosters and things like that. So and that's again, it's tough,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: especially if you're a wide receiver.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: You're only going to play one at a time.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: You know, every once in a while Ferndale will split
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: out more than one, but they're usually the wing is
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: going out. Yeah, maybe the half back will be split out.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: It's the same kids. You're not subbing for actual wide receivers.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: So you know, if you're a backup wide receiver for Ferndale,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: well then you're gonna punch your ticket with special teams
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: and do things like that because it's going to be
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: really really tough to see the field, especially being a
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: first year player, but pretty good size for that kind
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: of player. Six one and and uh so, yeah, just
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: making making your presence known at practice and special teams.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, there's probably people right now Tyler going, well, they fought,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: they forgot about a couple guys. And you know, one
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: thing we didn't do. We didn't tell people that we're
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: not exactly going to go on order because we like
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to finish it off with what we perceived to be
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: kind of like I don't want to say three favorites.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: The three best players. It's just kind of like, let's
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: pick three and let's talk about them last. And the
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: three that we went with here Tyler, we are starting
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: with six, two, one, eight five wing back and corners
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Number two Eli Kennerley.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, really impressive.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Don't see a lot of wing backs that are that tall.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Traditionally they're a little smaller.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Really fast side to side, and he is more upright,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: but very very fast. Was really good on the double
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: handoff of making one cut in and then just blowing
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: by you, and that was really really impressive. And when
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: but he big time play guy on offense when he
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: would either from the wing back spot or get split
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: out wide. In the passing game, big time target for
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Boliak to look to down the field. Really talented as
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: a returner in both kickoffs and punts as well. Just
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: there's guys that just know how to do that and
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: love to do that and know how to make guys
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: miss and kind of be patient kickoff returns. Usually you
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: get it and you go. Pun returns, a lot of
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: guys catch it and they have to have patients to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: make a few guys miss and then go. He was
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: really good in both big time top end speed, first
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: year starter on defense, although he was kind of that
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: next guy in in the rotation as a corner as
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: a junior, so right away, coming right in, and I
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: remember that he always was matched up against big time receivers.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I'me that first game against Linden.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I mean he had to chase Isaiah Audman all over
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: the field, which is never easy. But really good stats.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Most of them is senior year, but for his career,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: sixty carries for four hundred and thirty seven yards and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I love this.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Eleven catches, just eleven for two hundred and seventy eight
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: yards and five touchdowns, so almost half his catches go
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: for touchdowns and he's averaging, you know whatever, twenty five
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: yards a catch or something like that. Twenty five twenty
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: six also had fourteen kickoff returns for two hundred and
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: ninety nine yards, fourteen punt returns for one hundred and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: sixty five yards, and on defense thirty one tackles, nine
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: passes broken up, and also had three interceptions, just like
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: his twin brother on the other side. So really good,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: solid year with everything combined all three phases of the game.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Great overall player. Loved watching him play. Yeah, and I
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I hope, I know. He's a big lacrosse
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: guy as well, and so it kind of it kind
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: of it kind of showed on the football field. You
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: can tell those guys they don't go down easy and
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: they know how to make those quick cuts and stuff
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Five eight one seventy five running back, inside linebacker and
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: punter number four Jacob Gambi.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my goodness, there's there's certain guys in high school football,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and you'll know all about this, but there's guys that
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: just like you go, I don't know how he does it,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: and you just said it right there. Five eight one
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: seventy five, And he is just one of the toughest
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: linebackers I've ever seen.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: And I mean sometimes when.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: You're that small, you're able to find your way to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: get through some gaps through the middle and and do things.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: But he always could.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: But then, man, he would really make you pay too
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: when he'd get through that gap. Primarily, I mean all
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: of last year and most of this year was just
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: a defensive player. When Neilsen went down, he was asked
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: to carry the ball a lot more. He was also
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: asked to punt this year. Left footed punter obviously if
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: he's a Walking County kid, yep. Yeah, amazing wrestler as well.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: I think I think he didn't place as well as
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: he wanted to in state this past year because of
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: an injury, but I think that he is going to
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: be on on board this this.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Year to really do really well. You know, I remember.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Asking him when I was asking these goofy questions to
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the to the uh, the players I do little interviews
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and I asked him, who's, uh,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: who's who's one of your coaches that you wouldn't want
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to mess with?
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I'll mess with any of them. Like
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: he was just like right away, like I'll like I'm
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden yeah. And it was like I
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: don't think.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: I got that answer from anybody, you know, And it
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: was just so funny and so direct and so easy
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: for him to answer.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: And you know a lot.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Of times when he was on the field, he was
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: the smallest guy on the field, but the guy making
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the most plays. And you know, you were talking about
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: that like with Lincoln Thomas, like there's certain guys that
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: this is why you love high school football and and
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: he fits that mold perfectly. He's a guy that they
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: could have put at guard and he would have been awesome,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like especially in that wing
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: tee with quick polls and stuff like that.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: He's he's just tough as nails.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Sixty eight carries, two hundred and seventy four yards and
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns. He also caught six passes for thirty four yards,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: returned four kickoffs for thirty six yards. Like I said,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: he punted this year twenty two punts. He averaged thirty
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: three and a half yards of punt. But defensively in
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: his career, he's really really made his mark known. One
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three total tackles.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I have the defensive stats. I've counted the defensive.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Stats for the last eight years for Ferndale, and I
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: think he has the most tackles out of everybody in
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: the last eight years. Twenty one tackles for loss, which
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: is crazy, five passes broken up, two forced fumbles, a sack,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: a fumble return, and he intercepted a pass which he
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: took twenty two yards. You don't see a lot of
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: guys his size, especially at the three A level, that
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: are putting up those kinds of numbers, and it's just
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: a testament to his toughness, his ability, his just overall
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: want to like he just he just wants to be
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: the best out there every single play and and I
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: love players like that, and so he's so fun to watch.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, if I said to you, what is uh,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: who's a coach at Ferndale that you wouldn't want to
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: go toe to toe with? What's the first one that
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: comes to mind? Probably Jake Locker. That's kind of funny. Yeah, yeah,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I mean he's he's no offense to the other coaches,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: but he's probably the one that's like in the best
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: shape still too, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: I would imagine yeah, I mean meeting him in a
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: back alley, although he's so nice that he'd probably be
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: exactly I mean, it's tough, hey, but good to see you,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: you know. But uh, last, but not least, Tyler on
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: this list six two two twenty five full back defensive end.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: He's number thirty one, A guy that I feel like
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: we could have picked almost every single week and gotten
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: good numbers from him in the fantasy. It's a talent
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: bung guard.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. When the first thing I think of with talent
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: bung guard is. I remember the final game of the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: year his freshman year.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: He came in. I think he had like one or two.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Carries and they might have both or the one or
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: both of them, whatever it was, he gained a first
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: down and I thought, that's the future right there, because
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: full back at Ferndale is like, it's one of those things.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: It's like quarterback at Meridian, wide receiver at Lyndon, you know.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Half back at Baker.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: You know, there are certain positions that you kind of
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: that you kind of grab a hold of with teams,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and you know, it's full back at Ferndale.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's just what it is.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: And as a sophomore he kind of worked himself into
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: the starting lineup and then he really exploded. I want
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: to say maybe that Seattle Prep game. So once they
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: got into the playoffs, I mean, he just had He
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: just went off like one hundred and forty yards or
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: something like that, and there was nothing. There was nothing
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: special as far as you know juke and jiving different things.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: It was just straight up the middle. He seems like
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: he can get eight or nine yards whenever he wanted to.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: And that was as a sophomore, which is what they
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: want there out of that guy. Yeah, that's just going
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: to go nuts, straightforward and bam right.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: And he did miss a little bit of time, and
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: I remember they put Isaiah Carlson at full back for
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: a little bit because they had other halfbacks that they
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: could do. But then he came back and they were
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: to put everybody back in the right spots. And and
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: he ran for like five hundred yards or something like
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that his sophomore year. Then his junior year he goes
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: over over a thousand yards, and then this past year
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: he goes over sixteen hundred yards. So every single year
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: there was a huge improvement offensively. Always one of the
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: best linebackers. I think he was an All conference linebacker.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: As a junior.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: And then and he gets asked to go play defensive
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: end as a senior because they graduated. They're both their ends.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: They like big, strong, but fast defensive ends, and he
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: kind of you look at him up and down six
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: two twenty five and you go, that's a high school
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: defensive end right there. And I remember talking to him
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: in late July, you know, he helped out at the Walking
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Preps Youth football camp and you know, we were talking about,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: you know, just the team and stuff, and he's just
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: such a quiet kid and he's just so unassuming and
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: but my goodness, you see him out there. And this
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: is with all the seniors. I mean, you're talking the
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: krem delat Krem of Walking County are all walking around
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: and when you.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Just look at like pure athletes, like he looked.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: The most impressive, just as far as just the big arms,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the shoulders, I mean, he just looked different than the
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: rest of him. And this season he was a monster.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't just on offense, it was on defense
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: as well. And I think his stuff on defense gets
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: overlooked a lot by you know, different publications. Stuff is
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: they don't realize what kind of you know, what kind
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: of player he is on defense. I think you know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: you and I were talking off the air about one
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: of your players where.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: You've he's he's he's so good on both sides of
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: And he played so many plays, you know, over one
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: hundred hundred plays in a game. I think they really
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: struggled to find time to take him off the field.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they're just so important you can't.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And and they even put together like this NASCAR
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: package where they'd bring in like four defensive ends at
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: once and they'd all be standing up and he'd be
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: out there, you know, I mean, this is the time
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: to kind of sub in with some fresh legs. But
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: he would stay out there and be kind of in
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the middle of that, and he was just you're you're right.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: He was just so important. I mean in his career.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, he broke into in the rushing career rushing yards,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: and he broke into the top five or six, and
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: you start getting through some lockers in there. I don't
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: think he passed up John Locker, but you know he
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: went past some other lockers. I mean, that's now you're
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: talk big time. You start passing Fink, Bonners and Lockers
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: on the all time rushing list, and now you're one
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: of the all time greats in school history. Four hundred
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: and eighty five career carries for three two hundred and
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: eighteen yards and thirty seven touchdowns.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, those numbers are just ridiculous.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: And here's another there's some more numbers that I love
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: about his game. Eleven catches for one hundred and sixty
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: nine yards and five touchdowns. So him and Eli Kennerley
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: both eleven catches in their careers for five touchdowns. So
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: that's what's so cool about the Ferndale offense is when
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: they do go to the air, it's kind of like
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: holy cow, like they're passing.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, no touchdown. You know.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: He also had one hundred and twenty one and a
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: half tackles in his career, twenty three tackles for loss,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: eight quarterback sacks, five passes broken up, a forced fumble.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: He recovered six fumbles in his career. That's a really
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: high number for fumble recoveries.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: I mean six of them. I think he had five
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: his sophomore year alone.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Just had a knack for the ball. The one he
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: picked up this year he ran in for a touchdown.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: He also had three interceptions in his career, which he
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: returned sixty seven yards. I mean, he was just a
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: playmaker when he would get the ball a lot faster
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: than people realize. But probably had more stiff arms than
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen in a season by a walking County
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: running back. I don't know how many times he would
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: just stiff arm a guy and just keep on running.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: It was really fun to watch, and you know, there's
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: just not a lot of players like him that we'll see.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: He's kind of one of those guys that you see,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: you know, two, three, four times a decade and just
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: an old school throwback kind of football player.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Tyler. That is it for Ferndale. We're also going to
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: talk squal him here. Ferndale does have the most seniors
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: in the county, which is wild because I think I
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: only count sixteen thirteen three, Yeah, so sixteen seniors. I
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: mean it's wild because we've seen so many times where
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: it's been twenty five or thirty year, you know, thirty five,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: you know, which is you know, Tyler, when you think
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: about it, it's kind of one of those things. You know,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: we talked about how loaded the senior class is, but
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: it's also in a way kind of top heavy because
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: there's not a whole lot of seniors, you know, which
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: is which is interesting, you know when you think about it,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: because high school football is definitely like seniors are a
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: great thing to have. And this is the first year
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: and how long that we haven't gotten a team to
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: the semis thirty years.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, It's just it is weird and it's and it
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: shows through how good the rest of the state is
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of the rest of the state has some
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: big time, high end teams and all the classifications, and most.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Of those have big senior classes. Yeah, you know, yep,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: so I don't know, interesting, but yeah, that's it for
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: the Golden Eagles. Tyler. Let's move on to talk about Squalicum.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: What do you say? Yeah, sounds good. We start with
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: five eleven one at fifty by the way, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Only ten seniors we're talking about here who and I
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: believe it was these guys and one other team. I
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: think that had the smallest class, right, yeah, I think so?
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Uh not see home Lynnen Christian also has a small class.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: So yeah, anyway, five eleven one fifty five wide receiver
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: and a corner. It's number two, Solomon Darius.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he got in some playing time a lot later
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: in the year. You know, he'd be that he'd kind
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: of be that first corner in.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: As a backup.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Played a little bit of receiver too, did catch a
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: pass for five yards, had five tackles and a pass
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: broken up. But you know, he was kind of that
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: next corner in and really athletic.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: They just had really.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Good corners this year with some underclassmen with anton Osby
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Ornson and Hunter Callaway and and but that's the one
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: thing you can always count on with the Storm is
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: they're just gonna have a lot of athletes. You go
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: out to practice and you go, man, there's a lot
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: of kids here, and there's a lot of talented athletes
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: out here.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Lynnon Christian's kind of like that.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: You just see a lot of really good athletes that
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: are all kind of they're like mirror images of each other.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: And Squalakum was like that, and he was one of
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: those really talented players.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Tyler does this still do Tyler got some nuggets, man,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: it does. Coach Lucy there he is. That's one I
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: feel like I didn't. I didn't take advantage as much
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: this h this fall season as I should have. That's
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: all right. Next up, five nine running back a linebacker.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: It's number six Donnelle Harden Mario.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: He's another kid that I think is super talented. I
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: remember at practice I was seeing him, you know, running
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: around and catching one handed pass. He was just and
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: I was asking coach. I was like, who's that. He's like, Oh,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: that's that's Donell. He's one of our backup linebackers. I'm like, what, like,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: this kid's great and yeah, I mean played a little
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: bit of running back. Four carries for seventeen yards. But again,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: kind of that next wave of linebackers that would that
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: would come in. You had Malachi Smith and Avery Wieners
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: the starting linebackers, and he would be that next guy
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: again as an inside linebacker, a little smaller for an
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: inside linebacker, but but but physical and uh in on
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: kickoff stuff like that two and a half tackles. Had
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: a pass broken up, athletic kid that I wish I
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: could have seen him play a little.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: More football, all right, Tyler, go with me on this one.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: A little Chris Berman here right, Uh huh? Next up
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: five to eleven one sixty five quarterback, defensive back v
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: I I. It's Roman numerals feathers very well done, by
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: the way. Yeah, yeah, there's the there's the joke.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's rare that And you see this
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: every once in a while where the starting quarterbacks are
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: junior backups a senior and that was the case here.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: He came in a little bit here and there. Uh
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: And at the end of the game played played some
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: quarterback was three of four passing for twelve yards.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Did also have two tackles.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, played some special teams and we've
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: got maybe one of those tackles on special teams, one
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: of them on defense. That's always a tough position to
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: be in when you're the backup to a kid that's
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: younger than you, because but you always got to be ready.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure he was, and because when he came
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: in and he you know, he knew what he was
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: doing on the offensive side, and and like I said, three.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Or four completions, so accurate passer as well. Next up
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: five to six, one forty three. By the way, that's
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: the same size Miles Jack was as a freshman UH
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: wide receiver and and safety not sophomore's number eighteen Max right.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a He's a kid that I think he
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: started a little bit here and there at safety. There
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: was a game that like I think Joaquin Ortiz was
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: out there might a big game when Zach Watt was out.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Those were the two starters. Reeesnolton and him were the
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: new to safeties that would come in. I want to
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: say that Max Wright might have even been the holder
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: this year too. So a lot of different things that
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: he could do.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: For your team.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Did have three tackles in his career, and you know,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: I remember, I remember, I remember sitting up in the booth.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Hopefully I'm not speaking out of school. I don't think so,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: because I'm not supposed to ever, you know, say anything that.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: They say in the booth. But I just thought it
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: was a funny thing.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Where you could hear a coach saying, well, if he
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do, get Max in there.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: He knows what to do.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: And so I always laugh at that because you learn
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: little bits about these these players sometimes when you talk
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: to these coaches or you hear the coaches talk to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: each other, and that tells me that he's a guy
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: that was reliable and knew the defense and you could
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: put him in there. And and I love that kind
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: of stuff because you need you need players like that.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Six three, two thirty five left tackle. It's number fifty
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: Wyatt Johnson. Yeah, transferred in this year.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what school he transferred from, but I
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: was down there somewhere maybe in Snowhomish County or something
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: like that, and came right in and was plugged in
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: at left tackle, and there he stayed the rest of
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: the year. Uh, which was good because Squalkum just hasn't
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: had that size that they've had over the years, especially
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: coming into this year.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: You know, we're gonna talk about another kid in a
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: little bit where uh he was a football player.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I think he took his junior year off and then
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: came back to play his senior year, and all of
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: a sudden, there are the two starting offensive tackles for
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: your team were coming into the year. I didn't know
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: anything about Wyatt Johnson and saw him at practice, really
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: big kid. When I talked to coach, he said, yeah.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: He's transfer.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: He's gonna you know, he's gonna plug and play, you know,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's ready to go on the offensive line.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: And and he you know right away was was one.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Of the better ones that they had, and and uh, you.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Know, they kind of went especially when you're already you're
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: playing with a new varsity quarterback. You need your left
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: tackle to be pretty good so you can give him
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: some a little bit of extra time. It's needed to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: read the defense, you know, first time, and you know,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: doing that at the varsity level. And and he did
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: a really good job at left at left tackle all year.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Didn't play any defense. Uh.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: But sometimes there are certain offensive linemen where you just
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: you just want them to worry about offensive line. And
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: there's been some good ones over the years that were
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, Dane Gatterman didn't play any defense.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: You know, just put him at left tackle and let
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: him go and do a couple of plays.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Though defensively, yeah, I mean he might have. I think
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: he made some tackles on tours and one they need,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: you know something, and yeah, they could throw his big
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: old butt in there and it was his giant fro
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: and yeah, you know, hair coming out the ear holes
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: of the helmet, right. But I don't think that happened
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: with Wyatt Johnson.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I think he was purely an offensive lineman and uh
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: and did a really good job at it.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Next up five eleven two thirty offen the line defensive
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: lines that were fifty two Ian meeks.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw some time on the offensive line some
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: special teams.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Only one one tackle, so it was a backup player.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: And but another guy that could provide some size and
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, and you could rotate it and and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: you know he could get the job done. Another senior,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: like you said, and yeah, just you know, didn't know
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: a ton about him, but squalk them.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: You know. And they only played nine games this year.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: They were the only teams that played under ten.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Ten games, so and that's tricky because going into that
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: final week, I think like half the players got sick,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: so they had to cancel their Week ten game against
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I want to say it was a camiak and and
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: that's a game where a lot of these players probably
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: would have played a little bit more in with this,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: you know, last game for the seniors. So so yeah,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: I wish I could have seen more of him play,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: but didn't.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Didn't didn't see a ton, but it's all a little
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: bit and it was pretty good. Next up, six three,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: two thirty right tackle, defensive tackles. Some were fifty fifty nine.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Ezra Nichols. Yeah, one of my one of my favorites.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: He was the other one that came back to playing
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: football and I think he was like a tight end
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: before and when he was a freshman sophomore stuff like that.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Took his junior year off, saw him play basketball and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: was that guy that you know, he was their main
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: post player at six three, which is tough.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: So if you're gonna be down there, you know.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: Getting stuff done, pulling, getting getting rebounds and just kind
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: of using up your five fouls, and you got to
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: be a tough player. And so I wasn't surprised when
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: he came out for football, but I remember I was
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: really excited and I when I saw him, I was
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: taking this etshow I was like, hey, you're back playing football,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, he was. He was pretty
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: jacked up about it. So he was the other side
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: the offensive tackle. Like I said, coming into the year,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't know who they're gonna have be their tackles.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Wyatt Johnson, Ezra Nichols.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: You get a couple of guys that are six three
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: two thirty that can be plugged right in and be
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: awesome at it.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: He really impressed me on the defensive side too.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: He made some big, big plays fourteen tackles, one and
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: a half sacks, another tackle for loss, a fumble recovery.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: I think as the year went on he didn't play
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: as much defense. They kind of, you know, squalcumb tends
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: to find guys that maybe we're backup linebackers or even safeties,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: and they will plug them in on the defensive line
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: to find guys for rotations, you know, and stuff like that,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: and they'll end up using those guys a little bit
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: more as the season goes on.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: So started the whole year at right.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Tackle, played sparingly at defensive tackle, but made big plays
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: in big moments.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Next up six foot two running back and the linebackers
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: and were five. Malachi Smith.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one of my one of my personal favorites. I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: think that if if if Marcus Nixon didn't exist, he
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: would be a lot more known, you know, big, big
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: time weapon carrying the ball, catching the ball to the backfield.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: But so good defensively, so good defensively.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: I mean that play he had in Week one against
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Burlington Edison, it was one of my favorite plays of
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: the year where it was a screen pass to the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: halfback on the left side and he read it.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: It looked like he read it before. I mean, it
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: looked like the center said, hey, we're running a screen
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: to your right, you know.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Because he was on that way ahead of anybody else,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: picked it off for a pick six. That was such
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: a great, great play, you know, football smarts off the charts.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: Really hoping he's gonna play at the next level.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to He's.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Been, you know, like a PLU type kid, really smart kid.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: In his career one hundred and fifty one carries for
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty six yards and eight touchdowns, eighteen
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: catches for one hundred and sixty seven yards and a touchdown.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Also had thirteen kickoff returns for two hundred and seventy
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown. I think got touchdown came
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: against Lakewood his junior year. And then defensively one hundred
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: and sixteen and a half tackles, five and a half
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: tackles for loss, five sacks, and five interceptions, so you start,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: you know, and two fumble recoveries. You don't see a
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: lot of five five and five with the tackles for loss,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the sacks and interceptions. That that shows you the versatility
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: of all the different aspects of playing the run, shooting
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: the gap, and playing the past kind of.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Doing all those things.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: He had that that pick six, like I said, so
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: he had a defensive touchdown as well. You know, another
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: kind of kind of one of my personal favorites I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: don't and another one of those kids, and this is
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: rare where I don't think he's on Instagram and that's
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: there's there's certain kids that it's it's weird because I
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: do so much posting on Instagram and I can't take him.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if he's not on Instagram, somebody needs to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: or if he is, somebody needs to put his handle
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: into the comments. Well I mean, yeah, a little now,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: but you know what I'm saying, like.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because I just found out that Jaden Winslow
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: was on but I didn't know what his handle was
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: and from Blaine, and and when I named him, you know,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: offensive Lineman of the Week for Week ten, I think
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: I see him like that day and I'm like, oh,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: this is perfect now I can take him, or maybe
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: somebody else tagged him. So then I edited it later
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: and ended up taking him and so but yeah, but
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: he is on. He is on Twitter, so when he
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: needs to get a hold of me for something, he
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: just messages me through Twitter, which I haven't logged onto
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: in months. So it's kind of funny how, you know,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what's this kind of message?
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: Oh? This is Twitter? Okay? And so yeah, and I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: talked to him during you know, he's a basketball.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: Player and and it's just one of those. He's one
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: of those different kind of personal kids, Like he just
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna be like a CEO somewhere.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Just a great, great kid, you know.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: And you know, he ended his sophomore year with that
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: broken arm, like on the last play of the year,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: and it was like, man, this kid's gonna be good.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't get discouraged. And then he comes
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: back his junior year and crutches it. With Marcus Nixon
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: at quarterback, he was kind of more of the featured
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: running back with him and DeAndre dunmore so he kind
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: of got to show some stuff there, and then this
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: year kind of had to take a back seat to
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Nixon being back at running back. They ended up doing
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: a couple of two back things here and there, but
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: but really shining as a linebacker, which is kind of his.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: More natural spot.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: And I just I just like watching that kid compete.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I can't say enough good things about him.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: Next up five seven one forty five wide receiver, safety.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: It's number one. I feel like we were talking about
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: him forever. Joaquin or Tez Tyler.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, he kind of burst on the scene as a sophomore,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: didn't know anything about him going into the sophomore year.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: I remember, you know, asking some kids about different things,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: like who do you think is the fastest kid on
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: your team? And some some people were like probably Joaquin.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I have no clue what that. I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: don't know who that is. Is that a last name?
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Is that a first name? I don't I don't know anything,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, I'm watching film and
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, who is this little guy? I mean,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: he's a small scot out there. He's he's like a
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: he's like mighty mouse. I mean, he's just so entertaining
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: to watch, so entertaining to watch. I could I could
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: watch his highlights all day. And it could be offense,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: could be defense, could be returning kicks. Another kid that like,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: he plays basketball, but he's like the he's like the
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: eleventh guy on the team or twelfth, twelve scot on
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: the team. When he gets in the game, everyone gets
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: all jacked up and he's.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: Smiling and he's like, yeah, yeah, Steve, and uh, what's
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: that said, Steve Scheffler. He's the five to seven Steve Scheffler.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and and you know five seven and that's that's
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: no joke. I mean, he is not very big at all, and.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: He is just.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: He's like he's excitement. I don't know how else to
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: explain it. I mean, he's he's kind of like he's
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Walking Counties version.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Of Tyreek Hill a little bit.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he probably doesn't have the straight head speed,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: but he's just that jitter bud, you know, find him
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: a way to get him the ball. In his career,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: eighty catches for eight hundred and thirty five yards and
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. He also carried the ball forty seven times
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: for three hundred and fifty three yards. Probably never took
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: a handoff. These were all on like end to rounds,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: different things like that. Thirty kickoff returns for eight hundred
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: and twenty yards and a touchdown. As far as I know,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: those are the second most kickoff returns in school history
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: after Ben Peterson. Ten punt returns for one hundred and
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: ninety two yards. You and I both know if you
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: average almost twenty yards a punt return, that is really
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: really impressive.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: You go over ten, that's impressive.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, over ten is impressive. Over twenty for kickoff, over
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: ten for punts and yeah, and he was over both
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: of those, you know, for each and then defensively, I
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: mean as a sophomore, he played a lot of offense,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: didn't play a ton of defense, kind of came into
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: it last year playing a bunch, And of course this
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: year as well, got hurt halfway through the year, end
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: up playing through an injury for the second half of
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: the year. So I think he really only suited up
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: for eight games, but still in his career one hundred
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: and twelve and a half tackles, seven tackles for loss
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: for I was a safety, eight passes broken up, two
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: forced fumbles, two interceptions that have returned for forty five
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: total yards. Yeah, just I just I just smile when
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: I think about him playing football. I mean, you know,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: I hope he gets into some basketball games that I'm
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: at because it jacks up the crowd, you know, And
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I know that you know, he's he probably is a
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: pest defensively, you know, at practice, making his teammates better
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: and and you know, football is kind of more his game.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: But I love it when he's still gonna go out.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have a.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: New coach this year, and it's like he could have
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: just said you know what, I'm not going to play,
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: but I mean he wants to play with his with
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: his buddies and and you know, especially having a football
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: injury this year. I want to say it was like
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: an ankle or a foot or something. So to be
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: able to have the toughness to keep on competing and
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: doing things that he likes to do, and and uh yeah,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: just want to just a just a I'm just a
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: fan of his, you know, watching him play football.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: So tough to say goodbye to walking Ortiz. Last up
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: for Squalcum and certainly not least six running back and
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker. He's number eight. It's Marcus Nixon.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, heard about him as a freshman. I think he
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: only had one carry as freshman year and it was
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: for like negative six yards.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: And I thought, okay, well that is a freshman, you
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: know whatever.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: And then when I went to practice his sophomore year,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: and every practice when I go to get head shots,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: every teams a little different, you know, Like at Linden
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, okay, all the black shirts I'm taking
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: headshots of, or Ferndalees like that. All the gold shirts
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: I'm taking practice and.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: Taking headshots of the smaller schools.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'll do everybody because you know there's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: not as many kids and squalk them when there's a
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: lot of kids. I kind of got in that groove
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: of like seniors and juniors.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: And that was a mistake because his first game as
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: a sophomore, he goes off.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, no, I'm screwed because I don't
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: have a headshot. He's going to be leading. That was
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: like the first year we're doing graphics for five leaders.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: I remember, and I was making the graphic and You're like,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: I got to get you a picture. I don't even
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: know what I'm gonna do. And so I remember, like
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: I was even freaking out because I'm like, yeah, I
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: can't te this, like I don't know what to do. Yeah,
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: and I don't.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like I'm screwed because I don't know.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: And I happened to go to because I think they
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: were I think they played like on a Thursday night
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: in week one they did it was on the road
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: with boarding.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: I went to Blame Friday night to catch the end
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: of Ferndale Linden. Yes, And and as I'm walking into
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: the stadium, like during the third quarter, He's out there
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: hanging out with some friends, like he's either coming in
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: or he's leaving or something, and I just I don't
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: know how I recognized him, because it was like because
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: I've never seen him face to face and he's a sophomore.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: But I think I may have saw him.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: At practice and I saw a picture of him on
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: Instagram or something and I said, Marcus Nixon. He goes, yeah,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: I go, I'm Tyler with walking preps. I just need
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: to get a head shot really quickly, and he's like sure.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: And I just thought it was so funny because it's
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: just dark out his head shots everybody else. Yeah, And
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: it's just it has to be the worst picture we've
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: ever used for a h what is it a weekly
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: award graphic?
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had and I used it the whole year,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like three weeks later, I
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: need one of walking orties.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: So now I'm going down on.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: The field after game after they lost, and I'm like,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: can I get.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: A head shot?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: And he's like yeah, and he's you know, and I
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: was just like, man, I feel so bad for these
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: kids because I didn't get headshots of him as sophomore
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: so now I know at Squalakum get headshots of sophomore
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: as juniors and seniors and I have ever since, So
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: he started that for me. But yeah, he really came
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: out on the scene as a softom more mostly just
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: as a running back, kind of sparingly as a rush
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: outside linebacker. They did that with like Spencer Lloyd, like
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: third and long put put put an athlete out there
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: to rush the quarterback and have him make plays. I
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: remember Spencer Lloyd had like he had like nine, nine
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: or ten tackles for loss and he only played in
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: like thirty plays or some crazy thing. And so he
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: would he would kind of do that and he would
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: get some sacks. But then as his junior everything flipped right.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: He went to quarterback and then he started playing corner
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: and he was starting at corner and he was he
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: was the lockdown guy at corner, and I think he
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: was like an all conference defensive back. And then this
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: year he gets moved backed out sidelinebacker more of his
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: natural rule. Although he's committed to go to Eastern as
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: an athlete, but I think he's gonna be a defensive back.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: So talk about a guy that could do lots of
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: different things. He had a kickoff return this year for
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: a touchdown that they had to call back. I think
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: it was in Week one, and it was right before
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: the half, like it was one of those backbreakers, with
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: like three seconds to go in the half. He returns
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: it all the way for a touchdown and there was
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: a call like right around midfield, so they had to
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: bring it back and then they just kneel on it.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like, oh man, they still won the game,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: but it's like, you know, he was that kind of athlete.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: He is that kind of athlete. I should say.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: You go over the numbers and they're just ridiculous, up
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: and down for so many different things. Four hundred and
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: fifty seven carries for two thousand, five hundred and thirty
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: seven yards and twenty six touchdowns. I think his last
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: carry too, went for a touchdown, which is pretty cool.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: In Week nine.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Twenty four catches in his career for four hundred and
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: thirty five yards and seven touchdowns. A big time threat
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: out of the backfield. And you know, you cut out
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: his whole junior year for catching the ball because he
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: was playing quarterback. So he's a guy that could have
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: caught a lot more passes, and that's that's how I
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: projected him at the next level, would have been like
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: a receiver because if he's kind of a lanky build,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: he's got great hands and he just has a he
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: just runs really good routes, especially as a running back
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: and then as a as a passer, which he is.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: You know, he's he's a run first kind of guy.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: But he completed sixty three of one hundred and twenty
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: seven passes for eight hundred and ninety nine yards and
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: eleven touchdowns, including a touchdown pass this year on his
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: only attempt out of the Wildcat twenty three kickoff returns
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: for four hundred and fifty two yards and a touchdown.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: The touchdown kickoff return I believe was his sophomore year.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: They didn't have him return kicks as a junior as
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: because he was playing quarterback. Kind of got back to
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: it again this year and then defensively, seventy three and
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: a half tackles, four and a half tackles for loss,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: four sacks, three forced fumbles, six passes broken up, a
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: fumble recovery, and an interception. I'm really curious to see
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: how he fits into that Eastern program because he can
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: do so many different things, and he's such a great,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: great kid. I mean, the way the way he was
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: with those those youth football players at that camp was
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: just I mean, he could He made those kids smile
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: so much, he made them feel so good. He was
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: getting I mean after the end, you know, all the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: they're all the players are signing their kids' shirts, you know,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: and his line like seemed like it went like forty deep.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: I mean they and one kid even came up to
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: me for an autograph and They're like, I'm like, no, no, no,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: you don't want my autograph. He goes, well, you're wearing
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: one of the shirts, and I was like, all right,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: So I signed one kid's shirt. But yeah he had a.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah and ego Yeah.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: Ryland Spencer, number seventy.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Eight, Yeah, or like some old Joe Nash, Yeah, Morton Anderson. Yeah.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: But uh, it was so cool.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: But it was funny because I think part of it
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: was some of the other players were like, get his autograph,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: he's going to Alabama, and uh, they were kind of
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: messing with the youth football players. But oh Man always
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: in a great mood, always just smiling. What a what
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: a just a fantastic kid, Marcus Nixon. Uh, you know,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: I really really hope he does some big things in
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: whatever he wants to do, whether it's sports or anything else,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: because he always has such a positive attitude and he's
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: just a fantastic kid. Can't wait, can't wait to see
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: him light it up on the basketball court.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: My goodness.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: I think he led the team last year in every
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: category wow, in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. That's
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: incredible and that just shows you, like, you know, I mean,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: all talent.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: That's so hard to do. That's the guy that, you know, Tyler,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: when we go back and think about like who was
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: that guy at Mount Baker, you know exactly who that
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: guy was, you know what I mean that that guy
• 1:17:44

• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: you got it, like I meet him in person. Yeah.

• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: you know that guy in multiple sports Like that's just yeah.
