- 2:12m A b e r r Y farm dot com. Fourth generation, family
- 2:15owned and operated Berry Farm committed to growing the highest quality berries. We mentioned

- 2:45yes, yes, yeah, Tyler. You you mentioned you played some
- 2:49baseball on their farm at one point, and yeah, so they've been around
- 2:53a little while. They've been around some some time here. But yeah,
- 2:55thank you to Kurt Mayberry Farm for the sponsorship, Tyler. If somebody would
- 3:00like to sponsor anything the show, if they want to sponsor, maybe they
- 3:05want to sponsor Coach's Corner with Coach Wood. How do they get a hold
- 3:07of you to make that happen. Yeah, there's lots of different ways and
- 3:09people have taken advantage of every single way possible, which is great. One
- 3:15way is to an easiest way probably is to send a message to me through
- 3:19social media that's on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. The name is Walking
- 3:23Preps on all three of them. And then or you could send me an
- 3:27email mister mohook atmail dot com, mister mohawk, m I Steer Underscore and
- 3:35h Awk at hotmail dot com. Or you can uh dial me up on
- 3:39the old telephone three six zero six eight four four three zero six, or
- 3:45you could send me a text that way too. I've had that as well,
- 3:46So I've had all the different ways and and we could just talk about
- 3:51all sorts of things that I do have kind of a rough idea, but
- 3:53if you want to branch out and say, you know, how about this,
- 3:58I mean, we could work around stuff and can make it happen.
- 4:00So uh, there's been a lot of sponsorships joining in the recently, and
- 4:04it's a lot of inquiries and things that are still in the work, so
- 4:08pretty exciting. And I want to announce that in a couple of weeks there
- 4:13will be some walk and Preps apparel that should be getting close to being ready.
- 4:16So people, yeah, exactly, people have been excited about that.
- 4:20Hats, shirts and hoodies. So uh, that's the that's the idea,
- 4:25and I'm really, really excited about meeting up with Advantage Sports, who's creating
- 4:30the apparel and getting those out there. So yeah, there should be a
- 4:33store ready soon and I'll be you know, I'll let everyone know on the
- 4:40podcast and online about when that happens. Tyler's get some apparel coming for you
- 4:45guys at home. Nice. I got a feeling we're going to use that.
- 4:51Tyler's got the nuggets. Man, you know, I'm gonna maybe I
- 4:55should just make Tyler's got some and cut it off right there. I need
- 4:59to make that sound drop. Well, that's awesome, Tyler. I'm excited
- 5:01for that. And if anybody would like to sponsor, go ahead and reach
- 5:04out to Tyler. If you would like to sponsor anything. I mean,
- 5:06Coaches Corner. I mean, there's all kinds of different things. I mean,
- 5:12I mean, in theory, they could sponsor Randy Small's weather forecast if
- 5:15they wanted to, I guess, I mean, granted, maybe we should
- 5:17give the money to Randy. Heck, if they want to sponsor me,
- 5:21I mean, maybe there's a beef company out there that would like to sponsor
- 5:26some ribbis each week and they could be shipped in my house or something.
- 5:29I'm just saying, you know, I do have an address. Yeah,
- 5:33just go ahead and reach out to Tyler. He'll take care of it.
- 5:35I mean, it seems like every time I talk to you, Tyler,
- 5:39there's somebody new coming on board. So that's awesome. It's helping out just
- 5:44not And you know, Tyler, it's crazy to think about because this all
- 5:47got started because of football, you know what I mean. But now here
- 5:49we are, we're you're doing volleyball stuff. Okay, you already said it,
- 5:54you were volleyball. You what about cross country? Are we leaving cross
- 5:58country out of it? Tyler? What's going on with cross country? You
- 6:00know? I know I gotta get I gotta get a helper with that,
- 6:04you know. And that's the big thing is is getting the coaches on board.
- 6:09And uh yeah, I think it can happen. You know, it's
- 6:13just uh well, Tyler, let's talk about that for a second. Then
- 6:15really quickly, So okay, so let's just just really quickly, let's just
- 6:19give them give people listening at home an idea of how volleyball. So you've
- 6:26always kind of had some volleyball stuff, but now there's volleyball graphics, there's
- 6:30volleyball players of the week. There's volleyball, this lots of volleyball stuff.
- 6:33And it's because of the coaches. Yes, yeah, so I mean I
- 6:38met with all of them, you know, before the season started. I
- 6:41talked to them about this. They had a coaches meeting before the years started,
- 6:44and they they they talked about it, and I went to every single
- 6:47school, took headshots of every single player, just like I did with football.
- 6:50So I have everything kind of prepped and ready. And then the big
- 6:55thing is is being able to once the match is over, send me an
- 6:59email with a screenshot of all the stats. And that's just that's such a
- 7:03huge help. All I need is a score and some stats and I can
- 7:06write around up. That's all it takes and it goes a long way,
- 7:10doesn't take much time. So it's the same deal. There's girls soccer going
- 7:14on right now. If I you know, if I get all the girls
- 7:15soccer coaches on board, I could do the same exact thing. You know.
- 7:18There's there's you know, like like like you said, boys and girls
- 7:24cross country going on right now. So yeah, there's there's things out there
- 7:29that I'm still having, you know, gotten a hold of yet. Tennis
- 7:33has been a huge thing boys and girls tennis in the fall in the spring
- 7:36because of Brady Gustuffson, a former Seahome athlete that reached out to me and
- 7:42said, what if I got all the coaches to put into an Excel sheet
- 7:47the scores and the matches and everything after every single match, and I sent
- 7:53that to you, could you post? I said, absolutely. You know,
- 7:56that's because that's what I need. I can't go out to every single
- 7:59tennis match and every single volleyball match, but if I go to you know,
- 8:03I went to two of them tonight and a tennis match in the afternoon.
- 8:07I'm not there the whole time, but I'm there to witness some stuff,
- 8:09get some pictures, you know, maybe do an interview or something,
- 8:13and that way I have a little bit of an idea off I can come
- 8:15back and I could write around up the next day. So it's just getting
- 8:20more eyeballs on all the sports in Walking County. And you know, I
- 8:24started with football and I'm trying to expand you know, I've had the top
- 8:28fifty list for baseball the last couple of years. I definitely want to do
- 8:33that for fast pitch coming up, and you know, going to really delve
- 8:37into basketball boys and girls this upcoming winter when I haven't had the choice the
- 8:41chance yet because of uh, you know, when I was working full time.
- 8:45But that's not the case now. So this is, this is full
- 8:48on, This is gonna be great. Probably gonna do maybe a top twenty
- 8:52five for volleyball this year. I'm I almost I'm afraid to put it out
- 8:56there because then I kind of commit to it by saying that. But I
- 9:00think I'm going to do it. I figured twenty five is good. Each
- 9:03team only has you know, ten players on it, so you can't go
- 9:07full on nuts. So with you know, one hundred top one hundred,
- 9:09there's only a hundred players in the county. So yeah, you were the
- 9:16worst varsity player, you're number one hundred, right, Yeah, exactly.
- 9:20I'm not doing that. So I figured twenty five would be good, and
- 9:24and uh yeah, here we go. And I'm now saying it out loud.
- 9:28I guess all you're doing. I have to I'm gonna have to do
- 9:30it. Yeah you're And you know, Tyler, here's another thing too,
- 9:33If maybe somebody's listening to this and they would like to sponsor a sport in
- 9:37the in the winter, or the spring. Maybe maybe they're not a football
- 9:39guy, you know what I mean. Maybe it's somebody owns a business and
- 9:41they say, hey, my daughter plays basketball. I'd love to sponsor some
- 9:45girls basketball stuff. Boom reach out now, reach out sponsor. Yeah,
- 9:50if you want to sponsor the top one hundred list, I mean you know
- 9:52that. Oh yeah those nightballs. Yeah, those numbers are great, they
- 9:56really those are huge. And you know, and I do multiple you know,
- 9:58and that that. You know, there's all sorts of avenues out there,
- 10:01so it's it's all going towards helping me be able to keep doing this
- 10:07and not working for the man anymore, just doing my own thing. And
- 10:11well here's something loving it. Most people are either on Instagram or they know
- 10:16what it is. If you go to walk com preps is Instagram and you
- 10:20just look through all of the likes that are on there, you can get
- 10:24a general idea for how much people are doing things. Tyler. Today I
- 10:31was on Instagram and I was I run the Bottle football one, which means
- 10:37I'm on that one mostly, And then I was like, you know what,
- 10:39I haven't looked at my own Instagram in like a day and a half,
- 10:43so I flipped it back over to it and I went to search something.
- 10:46And when I searched, the first thing that popped up was Walking Preps
- 10:48on the top and it said fifteen new posts. I was like, wow,
- 10:52I guess it's been a little time since I've been to Walking Preps.
- 10:54I clicked on it. I was like, good lord, Tyler's got so
- 10:56much stuff on here, it's crazy. But that's also to the point is
- 11:01hey, you know, go through Instagram, find something you like on there,
- 11:05a post or something, and if you if you got a business and
- 11:07you want to sponsor it, all you gotta do is hit up Tyler and
- 11:09say, hey, that thing that you do, this thing that you do
- 11:13right here, this one, this volleyball scoreboard, or this volleyball what is
- 11:18it? The players of the week or stats for the week, any of
- 11:20that stuff. Hit him up. He'll take care of you. Tyler.
- 11:22We've got nine games to talk about this week. And by the way,
- 11:26I mean, I feel like at some point we're gonna have to maybe start
- 11:31talking other sports as well, you know what I mean, Like I more,
- 11:35I think that's a great point, you know, and that I mean,
- 11:37we'll definitely do it in the other seasons. But I feel like we
- 11:43might even have to do like a smaller podcast that comes out, you know,
- 11:48once a week that talks about what happened in volleyball last week, what
- 11:52happened in uh you know, Yeah, we did touch on the playoffs last
- 11:56year, you know remember that? Yeah? Yeah, we did like the
- 11:58state turnament and stuff, right, and maybe even the regionals yep. Yeah.
- 12:03But I think I think you're absolutely right. I think that it's you
- 12:05know, it's not a bad idea. I mean, even if we just
- 12:09did a weekly volleyball podcast, holy cow, that would go that would go
- 12:13crazy. Yeah. Well, and the fact of the matter is is we
- 12:16can still keep football separate from all of that, and so anybody that wants
- 12:18to hear just football, they know where to go. Yeah. Absolutely,
- 12:22And I guarantee you there'd be players that would love to do intros for I
- 12:26mean, it'd be it would go really well. And it's still be the
- 12:30Walk and Preps podcast. That's the beautiful thing. It's not. It's not
- 12:33like you have to find somewhere else, you know. Yeah. Well,
- 12:35next this here's the is a preview of week three of football. Then we
- 12:39have the review or the recap whichever it is that comes out in a couple
- 12:43of days or a couple of days after the games, and we could do
- 12:46a volleyball one you know that comes out on Thursday or something I don't know,
- 12:50or Tuesday, you know whatever. We might have to do that.
- 12:54Well, figure it out. Yeah. Well, although, Tyler, that's
- 12:56a lot, that's a lot more names that I have to start figuring out.
- 13:00I have a hard enough time with Vigory, you know what I mean,
- 13:03And that's a pretty easy wanted to look at. Yeah. Anyway,
- 13:07we've got nine games to talk about here, Tyler. Two of them are
- 13:09on Saturday. So this week, Tyler, because of it, you're able
- 13:13to get to four games. Now, obviously you'll leave one of them a
- 13:16little bit early, and it's the first one we're going to talk about here,
- 13:18So let's get right into it. Toppenish, oh and two coming to
- 13:22town, the Wildcats coming to town to take on Mount Baker the Mountaineers.
- 13:26They are also two. That's a six pm game out there at Bob Tisdale
- 13:30Field. Now, Tyler, this is a game that is a replay or
- 13:35a rematch I guess, if you will, of a game that was played
- 13:37last year, but is also the second time Toppenish has come to town in
- 13:41a couple of years. Right, Yeah, they came to playing the first
- 13:45round of the state playoffs at SEMC Stadium against Mount Baker. That was that.
- 13:50That was at eight nine matchup, I believe. So those eight nine
- 13:52matchups are great in the state tournament. It's so close. Really. The
- 13:56only thing that makes it, you know that you want to be the eight
- 14:00is you get the home you get to play near home, you know.
- 14:03Uh, And that was a really close game last year. Topnish got him
- 14:07pretty good, but there was a ton of you know, airs, special
- 14:11teams time unforced airs that you know, that kind of killed the Mounties early
- 14:18in that game. And they were just they were just constantly behind by two
- 14:20or three touchdowns the whole the rest of the way through. And Topenish had
- 14:24some talent on that team as well. And so but you know, these
- 14:28are two teams that kind of look pretty similar. They both stayed playoff teams
- 14:31last year, both lost a lot of seniors from last year, and they're
- 14:35both owing two now, so they're kind of in that same you know,
- 14:41that same way right now, coach, they're coached by Jason Smith, was
- 14:45a former Mountaineer, one of the best lineman and back in the eighties to
- 14:48come out of a Baker. Not a big guy. He you know,
- 14:50when he was playing, he was about five eight, one hundred and eighty
- 14:54five pounds, but like the toughest guard and defensive end you'd ever want to
- 14:56see. He was. He's tough as a two dollar steak man. I
- 15:01mean, it was just he was. He was a beast and so yeah.
- 15:07So and then he became in his he was an assistant coach I was
- 15:09playing, and he actually coached a special team, so he worked with me
- 15:13a lot. So it's it's really cool to see him have that connection with
- 15:18Mount Baker playing them for the third year in a row now and and uh
- 15:22and with them coming into town and be out there. You know, I'd
- 15:26love to go say hi to the coach before the game. I try not
- 15:28to try not to bother coaches before games a whole lot. If they want
- 15:31to come up to me and talk to me, that's totally fine, but
- 15:33I usually try to stay out of their way. Uh, be like before
- 15:37kickoff, unless it's you know, more than an hour before the game.
- 15:39But so Yeah, that'll be. That'll be a fun one. It's gonna
- 15:45be. It's gonna be. Uh, it's gonna be. It's gonna be
- 15:48a great one. I I just expect this one to be really close game.
- 15:54And when you look at the pickup, when you look at the pickums,
- 15:56you know which we'll look at later. You'll see that we all kind
- 15:58of you know, there's a lot of back and forth in a lot of
- 16:02close game. There are a lot of close mats scores. Uh seven PM
- 16:06game out at Granted Fall, out at Granted Falls. The Bellingham BayHawks oh
- 16:11and two headed to town to take on the Tigers one and one. Tyler
- 16:15Granted Falls as a team we've talked about before because they've played quite a few
- 16:19games against teams in Wacom County. This is also a game that last year
- 16:25Bellingham came in they were two and oh and then kinda took one on the
- 16:29chin, real, real bad from the Tigers. Now this is a Granted
- 16:33Falls team that looked as though they are improved. And yeah, I mean
- 16:38this is not exactly a game that the the oddsmakers maybe would have in Bellingham's
- 16:45favor, but this is a Bellingham team that we know has a lot of
- 16:48talent. They just kind of got to get some things together here. Uh
- 16:52you know, what do you see going on here Bellingham and Granted Falls,
- 16:55Well, I see two quarterbacks that have great arms, that love to throw
- 16:59the ball. So I think that you might see one of those you know,
- 17:03crazy high scoring games, shootoutsham is. You know, they just need
- 17:10to finish, that's what they They've they've played really well in Spurts this year
- 17:15so far in the first two games, and they've just they've had issues with
- 17:19closing out games and that's you know, that's just you gotta play all four
- 17:23quarters. Uh, you know, they have to be conditioned for that.
- 17:26And it going on the road now, first first road game of the year,
- 17:32Granted Falls. You know, they lost to Meridian in Week one,
- 17:34but it kind of looked like they were kind of getting they're kind of feeling
- 17:38things out in the first half and they were down. It was they were
- 17:41down early, like twenty one nothing, and then they played great in the
- 17:45second half and they played tight with with Meridian, looked really really good.
- 17:49Then they go out and they beat Friday Harbor pretty handily, so I you
- 17:53know, and they have that new quarterback the transfer from like Stevens. I
- 17:59haven't seen a tight team that's played like this in a long time. So
- 18:03so yeah, I think this one's gonna be you know, two explosive offensive
- 18:07teams that are spreading the ball out, throwing the ball down the field.
- 18:11You know, so many teams like to throw dank and dunk passes. These
- 18:15are two teams that are gonna want to throw it, you know, ten
- 18:18fifteen plus yards a lot. So it could be really really exciting. I
- 18:22I think it's gonna be one of those one of those crazy high scoring games.
- 18:26It's gonna be a lot of fun to watch the film again, that's
- 18:29Bellingham traveling to Granted Falls seven pm on Friday, Vashon Island, OH and
- 18:33two coming to town to take on the fighting Andy Olson's also Owe and two
- 18:38Vashon Island. The Pirates are I have but one leg and Blaine. You
- 18:44know, both teams struggling early on. Somebody's gonna get their first win in
- 18:48this one, though, Tyler, Yeah, absolutely. You know last year
- 18:52it was a close game. Vashon got him when they were playing at Vashon.
- 18:56But this is Vashon Island. You know, they have these weird spurts
- 19:00every once in a while, whether they have some really good players and and
- 19:03Bryce Hoyson Yeah, that running back right. Oh, he was fantastic And
- 19:08that wasn't too long ago. I mean Jason Shorak, Jason Shorak, the
- 19:15was it Croatian nightmares like that the Croatians? Yeah, yeah, he was
- 19:19man he Croatians something. Yeah, I mean he was nasty. He was
- 19:23so good, like back in the early nineties with fashion and it was so
- 19:27it was funny because when my brother was a senior, they played Vashon Week
- 19:33one at home and it was the year after Shorak went to you Dub so
- 19:40and I was, you know, I was going into my freshman year,
- 19:41so I didn't know like if he was going to dub or not. I
- 19:44didn't know if he was already in college or whatever. I was all excited
- 19:45to see him that I realized he had graduated. And uh yeah, Baker
- 19:51got him pretty good that that game. I think it was thirty five to
- 19:53six and and then he dumped the gatorade over the head coach. It was
- 19:57his first ever win. That was Coach Preston, who's responsible for bringing coach
- 20:03Lepper so there's all these tie ins here, Tyler, hold on one second,
- 20:07So you said you think it was thirty five to six? Yeah,
- 20:11are you able to look that up quickly and tell me what the actual score
- 20:15is? Yeah, because I just have to. I just need to know.
- 20:19Tyler's got some nuggets. Man, if coach Lucy is right here,
- 20:22like I have to know, because sometimes you throw numbers out like that,
- 20:26you know what I mean, and you just blow my mind. It was
- 20:30nineteen ninety three. Yeah, it was week one. It was at home,
- 20:34okay, and it was September tenth, nineteen ninety three against Fashion Island
- 20:40Mount Picker one, thirty five to six. Now we just need to get
- 20:42Randy small on and find out what the weather was like that night. That
- 20:47is stupid, like that is absolutely but I remember that game very well.
- 20:51It was the first that's freshman. No, no, stop it, because
- 20:55that is still just absolutely ridiculous. Tyler, I played I don't know what
- 21:00and times I played. You know, I don't know twenty five to thirty
- 21:02high school fotball games. I couldn't tell you a single score, not a
- 21:04single one of them. As a matter of fact, we played, I
- 21:07helped, you know, we played a game over the weekend. We bottles
- 21:11now two and oh I couldn't tell you what our score was on Saturday.
- 21:14I couldn't even tell you. Well, that's the thing is that the nineties
- 21:18are like, they're in my brain. They're not going anywhere for high school
- 21:22football. But but you're right about games that happened last week, last year.
- 21:26I'm a little foggy on the scores, but games that happened in the
- 21:30nineties, they are all right in my head. They're not going anywhere.
- 21:33You're absolutely ridiculous, Tyler. But but Blaine, you know, playing at
- 21:37home, Yes, this is this is gonna be a big one for them
- 21:42because they've gone against a couple opponents that were there were you know, just
- 21:48kind of you know, a notch or two or three notches ahead of them
- 21:52at this moment. This is a team that's also owing two. Plane's got
- 21:55to be playing with some confidence. They're gonna go in there, playing at
- 21:57home. This is gonna be a big one for for coach Olson. And
- 22:00I think that they have some dudes. I mean, they've got talent,
- 22:04The skills spots are loaded. They got some good young lineman. Uh,
- 22:10you know, this is gonna be their their time to shine and put up
- 22:14some big numbers and Coach Olsen to get that first win as a border.
- 22:17Right, it's the that's the most elusive one. And I hey blame kids.
- 22:22It went. If he gets that wind, you gotta you gotta dump
- 22:25the water. You gotta dump the water jug over Coach Olsen. I'm saying
- 22:27it right now. Make sure he's got the headset off. Though you don't
- 22:30want to electrocute anybody, but well, you don't want to wreck the headsets.
- 22:33Those things are not cheap. That that's true too. But someone someone
- 22:37makes sure the headsets off and then you know, get some get some big
- 22:41tall guys. I'm thinking like a Connor Dollry you know that can put the
- 22:45lift it up over Coach Olsen. Coach Olson about six foot three himself,
- 22:48so you gotta be able to lift it up. Maybe him and and Alejandro
- 22:51mojor Hernandez can can get the bucket and lift it up over Coach Olson and
- 22:56give him the the old water bath. That'd be awesome. Yeah, well
- 22:59you know what, so don't just go with water, mixing some gatorade,
- 23:02like, let's let's make him a different color. You know, uh,
- 23:04like, I mean, hopefully he's wearing white and you know, well hopefully
- 23:10it's orange Gatorade. No, because it's plain. Yeah, but then he
- 23:15can just keep wearing that shirt because it would just be another team color.
- 23:18I want, like bright green or red, like green apple or or fruit
- 23:25punch, you know what I mean. That's what I'm looking for. I
- 23:27want something that I want to I want to ruin apparel is what I want.
- 23:32It reminds me of the office. Blue blast, oh, blue blast,
- 23:37yeah, blue blast. Oh yeah, you know I put that in
- 23:38the cup holder. Yeah, and there should be ah, what does he
- 23:42say, like an arctic chill in the back? Yeah, or no blue
- 23:45blast to throw that one out. There should be an arctic chill in the
- 23:48back. Put that one in the cup holder. Yeah, that's what it
- 23:51is. Yeah. And Tyler, just to give you an idea here,
- 23:53you you kind of mentioned Vashon Island. Uh. They're owing two losses to
- 23:59Fort Vancouver twenty to seven and Sultan forty than nothing last week, So you
- 24:04know, two teams that are coming in with you know, Tyler, I'm
- 24:07gonna say this too. Typically, somehow, some way, these are the
- 24:11games that are the best you know what I mean, Like, you have
- 24:15two teams that you know, have struggled so far, and then all of
- 24:18a sudden, it's like a seventy five to sixty two game and you're just
- 24:21like, what the like, what is that eight man football going on there?
- 24:23Like, what the heck's going on? But yeah, Bashon Island,
- 24:26OH and two coming to town to take on Blaine Owen two, seven pm
- 24:30out there at Blaine High School on Friday night. Hey, we get into
- 24:33Northwest Conference two A league play this week, Tyler, and a big one
- 24:38to start. I mean, it seems like it seems like these two teams
- 24:41played early every year now. But uh squalakum Tu and oh headed up the
- 24:45road to take on Lyndon one and one. That's a seven pm game,
- 24:49Tyler. I remember a couple of years ago this was like a mud ball.
- 24:56You know, these two teams have really battled. It seems like these
- 24:59two teams have played some big gave the last few years. Yeah, I
- 25:02mean they've been, you know, the two really big time teams in the
- 25:06two A level that are been in this area, you know, over the
- 25:08last five six years at least since we've been doing the podcast. This has
- 25:11always been a very good game. And even though you know, Lynden has
- 25:18winning one and Squalocam is two and no, they played very different opponents first
- 25:22conference game for both of them. You know, Lynden, you know,
- 25:26they're starting the new winning streak now, so they're they're won one in a
- 25:30row and now they got to start winning now. Squalackam wants to just put
- 25:33an end to that party. Squalacum wants to you know, show that they
- 25:37are can play against the non Canadian school, you know, and and how
- 25:42do they do it against the Americans? Right? And and they they move
- 25:45the ball, you know, running the ball, They can move the ball.
- 25:48I love what they're doing defensively, you know, they just they have
- 25:53some great pieces that I really like. I think they're still trying to figure
- 25:57a few things out here and there, but for the most part, you
- 26:00know, coach Lucy's always going to have a very competitive team out there.
- 26:04And and uh, you know, last year I think was the first year
- 26:08and this is his tenth year now with the Storm. Last year I think
- 26:11was his first year with a sub five hundred record, and I'm I'm sure
- 26:15he's glad, you know, starting it out too. And oh now in
- 26:18this season and kind of getting last year kind of you know, back in
- 26:22the rear view mirror and to going into this one and and you're right two
- 26:26years ago on that on that field and Lynden, it was it was it
- 26:30was muddy, it was raining sideways, and that was that game when Campbell
- 26:33Malty had that touchdown one it looked like he was the only one with cleats
- 26:38on. You know, everyone else was slipping around and he's making cuts and
- 26:41breaking away from guys and sprinting in. It was like, jeez, Louise,
- 26:45he looks just different out there than everybody. And that was kind of
- 26:48the difference of the game. And and they played some really good games at
- 26:53Civic. I mean there was one game I think it was like nine to
- 26:56six one time. I mean, it's just been it's been nuts. I
- 27:00mean, there's just been some really really good games and and uh, this
- 27:04is when I'm I'm excited to to go out to It's the only one this
- 27:08weekend where it's two Walking County teams against each other. So this will be
- 27:12my first time seeing Squalacum in person this year. So uh, I'm pretty
- 27:18excited about that. It's also been my first time seeing Mount Mount Baker earlier
- 27:21in the in the evening, so it'll be good to go out there and
- 27:23see a bunch of familiar faces and and uh but yeah, this Squalcom Linden,
- 27:29it's always fantastic. Tyler's got some nuggets. Man, all right,
- 27:32Tyler, you told me you got a nugget for this one. What do
- 27:33we got here? Squalcum in Linden. Well, it's here's something that's gonna
- 27:40blow your mind. They've played twenty three times against each other. Wow,
- 27:44Linden is twenty one and two. Okay, what wow? That I know,
- 27:48I know it's crazy. It's just been they was three A as well,
- 27:53so sure, you know, yeah, that's wow. That is actually
- 27:56pretty surprising. I'm actually surprised, maybe even more that they've played that many
- 28:00times. Well, they were playing together in the Northwest League from ninth when
- 28:07came into existence in ninety eight, so they've been playing from ninety eight all
- 28:11the way to twenty fifteen every year and then and then when Squalakam was three
- 28:15A, then they were they were plunning. Then they're you know, they're
- 28:18in the West Coast, and then they came back down. They've played since
- 28:21then. SOM's last win wasn't was actually in twenty fifteen. It was a
- 28:26twenty seven to nothing win, and I I want to say that was the
- 28:32last time that Lynden's been shut out, I would imagine, but also but
- 28:37the other one happened in the last time they've been shut out, Linden has
- 28:41been shut out. Wow, that's saying something, all right, Sorry,
- 28:45I mean it might be the last time they've been shut out at home.
- 28:47It was something like that. Yeah. The other one, the Squalocam one,
- 28:52was in nineteen ninety nine, the second time they ever faced each other.
- 28:55Squalakam won that game thirty eight twenty eight. Linden needed to win that
- 28:57game to get to state tournaments, so it was a it was a big
- 29:00big deal in that game, lending quarterback ty Tobenheim, who went on to
- 29:06pitch in the Majors, passed for a Walking County record five hundred fourteen yards
- 29:11in that game. At the time, I think it was the state record.
- 29:14It's been broken since then, but it's still the Walking County record.
- 29:18So obviously you throw for that many yards, you're gonna have a ton of
- 29:21you know, great numbers in receiving. Two. You had two main targets
- 29:25that game. Cal Silva caught nine passes for two hundred and seventy five yards.
- 29:30It's a crazy stat line. And the other and another guy had seven
- 29:33catches for two hundred and nine yards. Do you know which player that was?
- 29:44I'm guessing Blake Whitman. You're absolutely right final it was his final high
- 29:48school football game. I mean, I'm not gonna say I'm a genius,
- 29:53but i'd be right if I did. I mean, I'm just saying,
- 29:56Wow, a little Blake Whitman trivia. Yeah, I mean that's really digging
- 30:00deep there, man, that's yeah, you're right, coach Lucy. I
- 30:06mean, my goodness, I wow, Wow. Who would have thought that
- 30:11we'd be talking about Blake Whitman on the podcast. I mean, that's awesome
- 30:17though, I mean, that's you. So you said that, what's the
- 30:21record between the two? It's twenty one and two. Twenty one and two,
- 30:25my goodness, Yeah, that crazy. Wow. I thought it was
- 30:29gonna be. I knew Lennon had the advantage. I didn't know they'd only
- 30:32lost twice. Yeah, I thought it was maybe Babe, like five or
- 30:36six times. But only twice. It's surprised me. Yeah, that's very
- 30:38surprising. Yeah, I mean that's incredibly surprising, honestly. And yeah,
- 30:44Tyler, you mentioned you're gonna be out at that one. Obviously you'll be
- 30:45out at top andish Mount Baker. We mentioned earlier you'll be leaving that one
- 30:51or at least to get up there and watch. So that's a six PM
- 30:53game. This is a seven PM game, so hopefully the time difference will
- 30:56get you there sometime in the first quarter. So if you see Tyler,
- 31:00make sure you go give him a hug. Yeah, that's a seven pm
- 31:03game out there at Linden High School. Glacier Peak coming to town, wanted
- 31:07to want to take on Ferndale, who is two and oh breaking in the
- 31:11new stadium there. Tyler up at Ferndale. Yeah, I mean, this
- 31:15is a game that last year was played at lumin Field. Not much of
- 31:18a game for Ferndale, kind of took one on the chin from Glacier Peak.
- 31:21But I think maybe this is gonna be a little bit different this time.
- 31:25What are your thoughts? I agree, you know, I think you
- 31:27know, both teams graduated a lot from last year and so it's kind of
- 31:33you know, a new slate for both these squads facing each other. So
- 31:37you can't really look at last year and say, well, it's gonna be
- 31:40a carbon copy of last year. It's not. It's gonna be completely different.
- 31:42You're absolutely right, you know you mentioned earlier breaking in the new field.
- 31:45I think it's gonna be a huge occasion. A lot of people are
- 31:49gonna be there. I would imagine that over under a Fink Bonners is going
- 31:55to be I'm gonna go twenty five and a half and I want to take
- 31:57the over on that. So you set the over under then you took the
- 32:01over well, I mean, I mean, why do you take the path
- 32:06like you're gonna You're gonna take exactly set it at said it at like an
- 32:09odd number, like twenty five and a half, and I'm gonna take Uh,
- 32:15I'm just gonna go twenty five and a half. There's gonna be a
- 32:16half a guy there. No, I mean, it's just it's just crazy,
- 32:20like it's I mean, it's gonna be a lot of people. Is
- 32:22That's what I'm saying. And it's really it's really really cool. I was
- 32:24out at Ferndale High School tonight actually to go watch one of the volleyball games
- 32:29I was at. And it was really cool because, you know, I'm
- 32:32walking into the new school. It's only my second time ever walking into the
- 32:36new school and his first first time seeing an event I went to. I
- 32:38went to a volleyball practice and it was just this beautiful school. And it's
- 32:43so funny because outside one of the doors, you walk outside the school and
- 32:46the old score board is still there. It's like it's like right next to
- 32:51like the school, and it's just like this, it's a really cool looking
- 32:53like you're like, oh my goodness, this I'm standing in where like the
- 32:57end zone was. It's like you don't even realize it, like the school
- 33:00is on top of the old field. I did not, I you know,
- 33:06I you know, I mean I dance a lot fair time. Anyways,
- 33:08Yeah, so I and and so this time I was walking in and
- 33:13I heard this. I heard this noise. I thought it was some construction
- 33:15because there's still some construction going on around there, and what it was was
- 33:20some drums banging and stuff. And min I got out of my car,
- 33:22I could clearly hear it. The band was getting ready and the Ferndale band
- 33:25is phenomenal. Every single year they play great. There's always a ton of
- 33:30people in it, and they pay put on a grid field show. And
- 33:32now that it's it's artificial turf, they're not gonna, you know, get
- 33:36all muddy in their uniforms. It's gonna look fantastic. And so I all
- 33:39those all those things combined, it's just I think it's gonna be an electric
- 33:44atmosphere out at the new stadium. And uh, I'm so excited. I
- 33:49think Ferndale is on. They're they're riding really high right now. They're you
- 33:53know, things are clicking really really well. I think I think they kind
- 33:57of came into the feeling with they kind of had this feeling like no one's
- 34:00given them a chance type deal, and and they're and they're winning, you
- 34:05know, and they're doing it with playing Ferndale football. There's not there's not
- 34:08a ton of like new things or anything, and and they're just lining up
- 34:14and beating the guy ahead of them. And that's what they've always done.
- 34:16And it's a really good coaching staff and and this will be this will be
- 34:21a really good game for them. But I think that they're just gonna be
- 34:23so jacked about the new stadium and and it's such a beautiful it's it's just
- 34:28so nice there and and uh, it's it's gonna be packed. I'm super
- 34:32excited for them. What way does the does it face east? The new
- 34:36stadium. It's faced the opposite way of the Oh, thank goodness, so
- 34:39that now you can actually see the game, Like when the sun's going down,
- 34:44you just get blinded, you know what I mean. Like, Yeah,
- 34:46there's a few things like that. Baker and Nooksacker kind of like that.
- 34:49Yeah, always build looking east people. Uh, although back in the
- 34:52day they didn't think about that stuff. Tyler, I like that you mentioned
- 34:55the band out there practicing something that was that I've learned now being you know,
- 35:00coaching with Bothel and getting around. I can't believe how much work the
- 35:05bands put in and how much work the cheerleaders put in. I mean,
- 35:08every time I walk by the commons at Bothel, the cheerleaders are out there
- 35:12doing their thing. Now. Granted, they were national champions last year,
- 35:15so like clearly they put in a lot of work. But the band,
- 35:17we're out there on the field to night, and all of a sudden,
- 35:20I'm like looking around, going I can hear the band. I don't know
- 35:22where they're at, but I can hear him so clearly they're doing their thing.
- 35:24Last Wednesday, Tyler, we're sitting there, We're watching a freshman game,
- 35:30and the band is over practicing on the baseball field, which is I
- 35:34don't know, fifty yards off the corner of the end zone. Yeah,
- 35:37and we scored a touchdown, our freshman score touchdown, and all of a
- 35:40sudden, and I kid you not, it was almost like right on Q
- 35:44they started playing the fight song. I looked over at Coach Bainter, the
- 35:49head coach, and we both looked at each other like that could not have
- 35:52been more perfect timing, and so like I even like walked down a little
- 35:54bit to see, like can they see us? Like I, you know,
- 35:59but they could so Like, I mean, it was. It was
- 36:00the most perfect timing in the history of like anything. It was unbelievable.
- 36:06Yeah. Glacier Peak one on one coming to town to take on Ferndale two
- 36:07O seven pm at the new Ferndale Football Field, uh Nooksack Valley. They
- 36:13are two and o headed down to oh what is it Wolsey Wolsey Stadium,
- 36:16Yeah, to take on the Kings nights and coach uh Jim Shapiro down there.
- 36:22They are also two and no seven pm in Well, what is that?
- 36:27Is that North Seattle or is that Shoreline? I think that's North Seattle
- 36:30Shoreline. No, No, I've seen It's funny because I've seen stories where
- 36:36it said Seattle, like you know in the Barry Beginning story it says what
- 36:37city it's in and tall caps. I've seen where it says Seattle, and
- 36:42I've seen it where it said shoreline. Well, let's so let's type in
- 36:45Kings School and let's see what it says. Uh, Kings says Seattle,
- 36:52Washington and their address. So that's that's see. I think Nooksack Valleys says
- 36:59Nooksack, Washington. But I've seen people put Everson. Yeah, so that
- 37:04one always throws me off too. See. So now I now I type
- 37:07in it says how much does it cost to go to King's School in Shorelines?
- 37:09Let's just give you an idea of twelve to seventeen thousand dollars a year
- 37:13ago school there, Tyler, anyway, I need a few more sponsors,
- 37:16a couple more sponsors, you can send yourself to the high school. Tyler.
- 37:20Uh. Yeah, Nuck Sack Valley and Kings. I don't remember this.
- 37:22I remember this game last year, but I don't remember what the score
- 37:25was. Tyler. Do you happen to have that available? Do you remember?
- 37:28I don't. I don't remember the score. I know it was a
- 37:30one score game because Kings was driving late and Corey only intercepted a past in
- 37:37the red zone with less than a minute to go. Wow, I was
- 37:42I was standing on that side. I got pictures of it. It was
- 37:45a huge. It was a huge game, or was a close game.
- 37:50I mean it was not huge as far as you know. I mean,
- 37:52it's every game's huge, but you know what I mean, it's not a
- 37:53conference game, yes, but it was. But Kings was loaded, uh
- 37:57Nuxsack Valley was you know, hit hit, hitting their peak and or at
- 38:00least hitting their stride. And that was the crazy game where they're just trying
- 38:05to run out the clock with the ball like inside their own five and this
- 38:10now and they and they were trying to they wanted to kneel down on it
- 38:15a few times, but Joey Brown had never taken a snap under center before,
- 38:20and so they put in Colton Lentz, who grew up as a quarterback
- 38:23and he played under center, so he was taking snaps under center. Kneeling
- 38:27down costs hurt, hurting his rushing average. But the team team player team.
- 38:34So yeah, So and then they go to then they go to punt,
- 38:37and they're just trying to just punt it out of the end zone and
- 38:39not get it blocked. And they're still like, I don't know, eighteen
- 38:44seconds left or something like that, and Kings had used all their time outs
- 38:47and lata da and they punted and I remember brock Lankr, who's a long
- 38:53snapper, like made a hit, caused a fumble, got on the ball,
- 38:57games over, but there's a there's a penalty. They had a repunt
- 39:00and then he did it again and then there was another penalty, and it
- 39:05just was like, this was the craziest ending I've ever seen. So it's
- 39:07like half of this is the goal, half of this is the goal.
- 39:09You're backing it up like a foot at a time. They're all the way
- 39:13back there. They finally get off the third punt. Sean Visser gets off
- 39:16a third punt and they're able to down it, and I mean, that
- 39:21was basically the game. I mean, it was just a crazy ending.
- 39:23I don't remember what the score was. I just remember it was a one
- 39:25score game. I could tell you that the game was forty one to forty
- 39:30back in the nineteen ninety three, and that was like a two overtime game.
- 39:37The first time they ever played each other, I believe. But they've
- 39:39played Walking County teams quite a bit over the years. Yeah, You're absolutely
- 39:43right, they've played quite a bit. And probably the Nooksack Valley's most memorable
- 39:46game they've ever had was in the state playoffs down at Kings in two thousand
- 39:52and nine. They were down by twenty seven in the third quarter. Wow,
- 39:57and came back and won that game fifty four to forties seven or something
- 40:00like that. It was you remember the two thousands pretty well then too well.
- 40:04That one was just a really really memorable game. But but yeah,
- 40:09and that was a that was a very memorable team. And I mean did
- 40:15beat down by twenty seven and the third quarter and come back and win that
- 40:19game in the state playoffs? Crazy? I mean, the weather was nuts,
- 40:22and Tyler, you're staring a running clock in the face right there,
- 40:24you know what I mean, Like, you're only you're barely away from a
- 40:28running clock and all of a sudden, here you are back in it.
- 40:30Next you know you're winning it. Yeah, so that was that was a
- 40:34huge one. And Kings. You know, Kings looked really good last year.
- 40:37I saw them on film a few times. They also played against Blaine,
- 40:42and I saw them live against Nookseka. I was there for the whole
- 40:45game last year. And you know, their their quarterback is returned. I
- 40:50know they bring their quarterback back. He's he's he's a little bit on the
- 40:52smaller side, but he's very good. He's very accurate, he can move
- 40:54around really well. I know they lost some big pieces, some linemen.
- 40:59They had a a stud running back who I believe is graduated as well.
- 41:01So, but you know, Nooksack Valley is They're just they're in playoff mode
- 41:09right now. I mean, I think they are on a mission and they
- 41:14are looking really really good. They're gonna be really hard to stop a couple
- 41:16undefeated teams. You know, I don't know about rankings and stuff like that,
- 41:21but I would imagine both top ten type teams and uh, yeah,
- 41:25this is gonna be a really really good game. Did I see Kings play
- 41:30Linden at Husky Stadium at one point you probably did. Yeah, they're probably
- 41:35a weak one game. Yeah, I vaguely remember that game. I think
- 41:37it was like the nine am game and I was probably sleeping in the stands.
- 41:42Yeah. Nooksack Valley headed down to take on Kings in North Seattle Shoreline
- 41:47two and O two and oh seven pm on Friday. The last game to
- 41:52talk about on Friday is Sea Home two and O headed down to Skadget County,
- 41:57right, yes, to take on Sedro Wooli two and Now, if
- 42:01you're headed down that way, head over to the Scatchet Valley Burger Express.
- 42:05They have great burgers and they also have incredible onion rings. And Tyler,
- 42:08get the ranch because it is really really good ranch sauce seven pm down there
- 42:14at what is it Tom Mullen Memorial Stadium or something that sounds about right.
- 42:19Yeah, I mean the brain still clicked right every now and then. Uh,
- 42:22this is the first game for Seedro and for Sea Home in the Northwest
- 42:28Conference. Two A sou Tyler, you know as well as I do.
- 42:31In this conference, you have to get off to a good start. You
- 42:34can't get behind the eight ball. And for both of these teams. I
- 42:37mean, this is a huge game, it really is. Yeah, you're
- 42:40you're very That's so much the truth. I mean, there's just every single
- 42:45week it's going through the gauntlet. The only team I can recall that started
- 42:49like one and two in the conference and came back and needed some help was
- 42:52Squalicum a few years ago. Yeah one, Yeah, they've lost. Yeah
- 42:58it was twenty one. S Baker got hurt in the game against Lindon that
- 43:01they lost, and then he was out the next week and they lost to
- 43:05Lakewood at home and a game they probably should have won and they really needed
- 43:08to beat They had to beat everybody else, but they needed some help as
- 43:10well, and schlen Baker came back and they were able to beat everybody else
- 43:14and everything kind of fell their way and they make it all the way the
- 43:15semifinals. Yeah, so I mean, you know, so this is a
- 43:20huge one for both teams. They did not get to play last year because
- 43:23of the forfeit, so you know, this is something that's they've been wanting.
- 43:28They haven't played each other, so they don't really know each other a
- 43:30ton, right, The last time they played was two years ago, and
- 43:34you know, I can't really think of anyone on that Sea Home team that
- 43:37played in that game a considerable amount other than Alden Jacobs and Braddick Duckworth.
- 43:43Actually, Duckworth it was kind of his coming out party on defense that game,
- 43:45because that was the game Tommy Funk got hurt. Duckworth came in an
- 43:49outside linebacker scored a defensive touchdown, so you know they're gonna know him.
- 43:53But you know, and Carson Reynolds was playing as a sophomore as well for
- 43:57Seedro. So there are a few guys that have played against each other,
- 44:00but not a lot. This is going to be a great, great game.
- 44:05Uh, you know, a couple undefeated teams, a couple of teams
- 44:07that I think going into the season, people would look at Seedro as a
- 44:13team that had a pretty you know, decent chance of being a top three
- 44:15a team that could make the postseason. And and but I think that with
- 44:21the season the way it's going so far, people are looking at Sea Home
- 44:22as a team that has a chance to be one of those top three teams.
- 44:25So I think see Hoome is is kind of on the rise right now,
- 44:30Seedro is sitting there near the top. So it's This is an early
- 44:34test for both teams. Seedro is always just so well prepared. They do
- 44:39everything the right way. They just seem to kind of you know, they're
- 44:45like a machine. They kind of remind me of Baker a little bit,
- 44:47like like it's different names all the time, but it's just the same output
- 44:52all the time, you know. And uh, and I mean I don't
- 44:57I don't follow the Skadget County teams as much as uh, you know anybody
- 45:01or you know, I just I just I had I have too many teams
- 45:05to focus on. I'm not gonna do that. So as much as I
- 45:07get asked about it, I'm not gonna start scatget preps dot com. It's
- 45:10you know. But I just do know from watching them on film a lot
- 45:16that they've never been bad, it seems like, and they've never even been
- 45:21averaged. They've always been very good. And this is just going to be
- 45:24a huge, huge game for both teams. I think, you know,
- 45:29Seaholme is gonna you know, move the ball. But the big thing is
- 45:32can they stop Seedro from moving the ball? Especially on the ground. You
- 45:37know, the Sea's been able to give up some rushing yards the first two
- 45:39games, so you know it's that's gonna be the big, big thing.
- 45:44And Cedro they always are able to move it on the ground. Yeah,
- 45:47and you mentioned Carson Reynolds. And there's a lineman that I really like as
- 45:52well, trying to find it here here he is number sixty eight while this
- 45:59is years roster, but number sixty eight Julian Rodriguez Padilla. He is a
- 46:05really I mean, he's a tough customer, Like he is a tough customers.
- 46:08He's in that same kind of the same mold as a landing hatchet where
- 46:13he just he gets after you. You know. Yeah, I saw him
- 46:16at a camp over the summer and it was like, wow, this guy
- 46:21can absolutely play the game. And then they got a couple of they got
- 46:23a couple of big kids that are pretty good. So yeah, I mean,
- 46:28I think this is gonna be a tough test. I mean, I
- 46:30really do. I think this is to me when I look when I look
- 46:34it over. You know that Bellingham granted Falls game could have a lot of
- 46:37scoring. I think this is the game that's gonna be just knock him down,
- 46:40drag him out, like tough physical my kind of football, you know
- 46:46what I mean, Like you know what I mean when I say my kind
- 46:49of football, Tyler like, oh yeah, oh yeah, this is gonna
- 46:52be this is gonna be a tough one. This is gonna be right down
- 46:54to it. I'm excited about it. Yeah, this seems like it's gonna
- 46:58be a real good one. Here. That is seven PM down there now,
- 47:04Tyler. Yes, Tyler's got some nuggets. Man. I heard through
- 47:08the grape vine that you got yourself a little Sea Home Sedro woolling nuggets.
- 47:13So shoot it at me. What do you got there, Bud Well?
- 47:15Out of all the walking kind of teams, Sea Home actually has the longest
- 47:20winning streak. Now really yeah with guess guess how many games now they've won
- 47:25in a row. This is not this is not the nugget. This is
- 47:28just an extra half nuggets one. Two. Let's say they won four at
- 47:31the end of last I'm gonna say six. You're right, but I mean,
- 47:37what's that? Say it again? Say it again? Yeah, you're
- 47:43absolutely right and not gonna lie that four at the end of last season was
- 47:45a relative guest because I'm like they would have had to play Linden sometime after
- 47:51Seedro and Seedro was Week three, so I'm like, man, yeah,
- 47:54wow, okay, so six in a row. They're trying to keep it
- 47:59going here, I mean, and actually their last loss was probably not even
- 48:01Linden. It was probably an a quarters huh. He's right. They played
- 48:04Lennon and a Quarters back to back. And speaking of speaking of six games,
- 48:07Cedro as a six game winning streak against the Mariners. Okay, so
- 48:14it's all okay, yeah, yeah, so it's been a while since Sea
- 48:16Homas beat Cedro. Now. Also, I looked back at some old games
- 48:21between these two teams. When you look at the game from nineteen ninety,
- 48:24okay, happen in week one and and Sea Home came back to win thirteen
- 48:30to ten. When what quarterback from Sea Home completed an eighteen yard touchdown passed
- 48:36late in the fourth quarter on third and goal? What quarterbacks Sea Home in
- 48:40what year nineteen ninety? Well, how the hell am I supposed to know
- 48:45Tyler? This is completely unfair. I mean, well, oh okay,
- 48:47okay, okay, is it somebody that I know? Like, when you
- 48:50say the name, am I gonna know it? Yeah? Well crap,
- 48:57Well you'll know the name. You might not know that he played quarterback at
- 49:00Sea Home oh, and that's why it's still gonna be tough. Taylor rap,
- 49:06I have no idea, Tyler Craig bartle Ah, crap, that's not
- 49:10fair. I should have, you know, I should have. Just I
- 49:14knew it was going to be a coach of some sort that was in Walcom
- 49:17County. I just I didn't know where to go with it. Yeah.
- 49:20Yeah, So it was the only past he completed all game. He only
- 49:23attempted three. They came back and win on third and goal from the eighteen
- 49:28yard line. He completes a touchdown with just a few minutes left in the
- 49:31fourth quarter to win that game. So these two teams and playing each other
- 49:35a long time, and yeah, this is this is that one. This
- 49:40is one where, like I don't know, if I, if I wasn't
- 49:46trying to hit all the Walking County teams, and I've thought about breaking that
- 49:50Walking County bubble, I'd be like, I should go down and just watch
- 49:52this one, you know it. Just as a fan, I think it's
- 49:54gonna be a really good game. Dress warm. Every time I've been to
- 49:58Cedar Wool he has been really really cold. Tyler's sponsored by coach Lucy Tyler
- 50:04Seahome Sedro Wooly seven pm. Down there in Sedro Wooly two two and no,
- 50:07somebody is going to have their first loss of the season. Let's move
- 50:10to Saturday. Two games on the docket here A two pm at a five
- 50:15pm. Fortunately, they're close enough together that Tyler is going to be able
- 50:19to go to the first one, grab something to eat on the way head
- 50:22over to the second one. Either that or Meridians usually got a nice brill
- 50:25going, we might be able to There's there's no doubt I'm going over to
- 50:30the barbecue at Meridian. There's no doubt. I remember standing there on the
- 50:34sideline one time and all of a sudden, poof, a thing of smoke
- 50:37comes flying over, and I was like, oh my lord, Yeah,
- 50:39if I hadn't just eaten dinner, why is that stopping me? I probably
- 50:43should just get a burger. No. Uh, first game on the docket,
- 50:46though, Tyler Bellevue Christian owned two Lynden Christian one and one. That's
- 50:51two pm out there at Lynden Christian High School. This is a game that
- 50:53was not close last year. I was there last year watching it happen,
- 50:59and I'm just gonna say this bellb. Christian is not even as good as
- 51:01they were last year, I don't think. But that being said, the
- 51:05game is still gonna take place. Yeah, I mean, Tyler, I
- 51:09can't imagine a scenario in which I just I hate to say this because I
- 51:14don't ever want to do it, but I can't imagine a scenario which this
- 51:16one's going to be very close. I just can't. Yeah. Well,
- 51:20I mean you were at the game last year, right you just said that,
- 51:22yeah, yeah, yeah, and they had that kick return for a
- 51:24touchdown that that kid was pretty quick? Did he graduate? Do you remember?
- 51:29I remember who? Honestly, if you would have said to me while
- 51:30you just said it, the kick return for a touchdown, I don't remember
- 51:34that happening. Yeah, so that one stood out to me as a kid
- 51:37that was pretty quick. But you're right that it's just a different they're just
- 51:39different talent levels, and you know, it's it's one of those weird things
- 51:45where when you look at last year's just just look at the one A teams
- 51:50from last year. You just look at all of them, you know,
- 51:53and you say, these two teams, one made the state playoffs and one
- 51:58didn't. And you know what I mean, and and if you're listening,
- 52:04you probably know which way it went. But if you're but if you looked
- 52:07at the records and the talent and all that stuff, and Lynnon Christian went
- 52:12eight and won, and they did not make the state playoffs, even though
- 52:15they they put a running clock on Bellevue Christian, who did make the state
- 52:19playoffs. There's I'm not saying there's like a you know, I mean,
- 52:23it's the way it is. It's the system, it's it's how it's built.
- 52:27There's nothing you can do about it. But I'm sure the Links have
- 52:31this in their mind going in now. There's nothing you can do about it,
- 52:36but they're gonna want to prove again that they're a really good team.
- 52:39And it could get ugly or I'm not saying ugly, like there's gonna be
- 52:44anything on the field. I'm just saying, like scoreboard wise, it's gonna
- 52:46it's they're gonna show their dominance in this one. I believe I'll be there
- 52:52two o'clock. Like you said, I think I love it when they do
- 52:55this, and and it's beautifully spaced out. I sellficially believe it's because they
- 53:00want to accommodate me. I know that's not the case, but I like
- 53:04to believe it anyway, and and and so and what's you know, what's
- 53:08cool about you know, this game and the one we're gonna talk about later,
- 53:13is they both have like a booth up But now it's it's gonna be
- 53:16nice weather, so I'll probably be on the field, But like they both
- 53:20have like another separate booth, a small one up in the press box just
- 53:25for like press, Like they have the they have the one for the clock
- 53:29of management and you know, the PA and all that, and then they
- 53:32have the one on each side just for the coaches away and home, and
- 53:37then there's a fourth one just for press and and it's just one of those
- 53:40things where I, you know, I love my alone time and I could
- 53:45sit in that press box and just take stats and and uh and just do
- 53:49my thing and and I'll I'm just in a great, great, you know
- 53:52time in my life, you know, doing that. Now with that being
- 53:55said, because it's gonna be nice out, I'm gonna probably take some videos
- 54:00of the game. My intern will be at both of these games taking pictures,
- 54:05so I don't have to worry about taking pictures, you know, even
- 54:07though daylight, the pictures come out a lot better. I'm you know,
- 54:12I know it's Bellevue Christian, but I'm excited. I haven't seen LC in
- 54:15person yet, so this will be another one that it'll be fun to see.
- 54:19And I don't think i've seen these these new jerseys, these home jerseys
- 54:24in person yet either with the with the with the baby blue numerals. So
- 54:30I'm excited about that too. And I know it's kind of a weird thing
- 54:31to be excited about, but those are the kinds of things that I think
- 54:35about. And yeah, I think I think the Links will put on a
- 54:37little show here. Bellevue Christian. Owen two coming to town to take on
- 54:42Lynden Christian one and one. That's two pm at Lyndon Christian. Another game
- 54:46on Saturday, five pm, King's Way Christian, Tyler, there's gonna be
- 54:50a lot of Christians in town this weekend. Owen two coming to town to
- 54:52take on Ridy. Why aren't these games being played on Sunday? But but
- 54:57yeah, Owen two taking on Ridian one and one. Actually, you know
- 55:00what, Tyler, the same two records uh for both games five pm at
- 55:06Meridian. Tyler, You're gonna get yourself a burger, a hot dog burrito?
- 55:10What is it? What? What do they I don't even know what
- 55:13they have there, but oh man, yeah, the burgers are just unbelievable.
- 55:16I mean you have to give me a review. Oh yeah, I
- 55:21can smell it right now, like I'm just and you know what's even better
- 55:24than like their burgers is when like a Meridian parent just brings one to you
- 55:30on the sideline like twenty minutes before kickoff. No, hint, hint there.
- 55:35No, I'm just saying, that's happened, and it's just like the
- 55:38biggest you're gonna get, like nine parents bringing you burgers. No, like
- 55:43in the world. There's people from Kingsway Christian that are listening. They're like,
- 55:46I'm gonna get the guy burg I'm gonna get. I'm just saying because
- 55:50like you know, I, you know, I forget to eat all the
- 55:52time, and so I and and I'm so full, you won't know what
- 55:55to do with yourself. Oh man, you got a bathroom up in that
- 55:59press box or wise, because you might need it. When it happened last
- 56:02year, it was just like it could have been like the worst food in
- 56:07the world, but it was like the perfect timing. I was so hungry
- 56:09and it was just so like thoughtful, and it was just it just hit
- 56:15me, like I almost cried on the sidelines because I was just so moved
- 56:17by it. And on top of that, it was like one of the
- 56:21best burgers I've ever had. So it was just it was like, oh,
- 56:23man, I'm living the life. This is great. And so that's
- 56:28what that's what I'm thinking about. But this game, you know, this
- 56:32game was on the road last year at Kingsway Christian. I think Meridian did
- 56:36pretty good job. They bring a you know, I haven't seen the Trodans
- 56:40in person yet either, so this is another one where I get to see
- 56:43them in person. I'm pumped about that. It got to be there for
- 56:45the whole game. You know. Josh and Elmer seems like we've been talking
- 56:51about him forever and he's just he's one of those guys I love to watch
- 56:57in person because like watch on film and you're kind of like, wow,
- 57:00he's kind of looks kind of small out there, but even in person,
- 57:05it's like, you know, he's he's all him. He's taller than I
- 57:07am, but who isn't especially going to these volleyball games, Like everybody's taller
- 57:12than I, but like except for the girl that wears the other colored jersey.
- 57:15Yeah, you know, like that girl's usually shorter. You know what
- 57:19I'm saying. Yeah, usually Yeah. I don't even know what it's called
- 57:22or why they wear it. I just know that that girl's usually like on
- 57:23the shorter side, they get to unlimited substitutions that one does. Yeah,
- 57:29you know what, Tyler, I don't want to know the rules. I
- 57:30just I know I like watching the sport, but I don't I don't want
- 57:32to get into that side. I'm still there's still things about it that I'm
- 57:36still learning, and I want to sit down with a volleyball coach and just
- 57:38have them explain it to me, like I'm five years old. You know
- 57:40what, I just do? You need to like you need to like go
- 57:44watch Ferndale and play Meridian or something and have like no Exac Valley's coach sitting
- 57:47with you in the stands. That's what That's what you need to Yeah,
- 57:51exactly, And now okay, now, why okay? What I mean?
- 57:53I mean, I would take my own stats if I knew exactly what constitute
- 57:59a kill. You know what I mean, like I think I know,
- 58:01but you never know anyway. I think it's just a spike, right,
- 58:05like, well, you'd be surprised they jump up and just smack it down.
- 58:08And maybe it's if it hits it, you know what. Well,
- 58:12there is such a thing as like a touch kill. There's there's all sorts
- 58:15of weird time, Oh my goodness. And there's like there's like hitting percentages,
- 58:17and I mean there's stuff that I'm still don't quite know yet. I
- 58:22can tell you how many times I hit my toe on the counter. It's
- 58:27one out of seven. Oh, one forty three. You're at one forty
- 58:30three there, How the heck did you just pull that number? Oh Joe?
- 58:35If it comes into it, yeah, yeah, let's talk some more
- 58:37football. Yeah, you know the Trojans. I love going to games,
- 58:42and you've been to a game there. There's just a really cool feeling at
- 58:45that stadium. The all black jerseys. Oh man, like like you know,
- 58:50you're watching high school football at that place, you know what I mean,
- 58:52Like it feels like high school football. It's gonna be it should be
- 58:55beautiful weather, so like the sunset's gonna be awesome, you know what I
- 58:59mean. Like I guess maybe you wouldn't hit sunset in this game. Yeah
- 59:02close, maybe near the end, you know. But yeah, but there's
- 59:07something about games at Meridian, and I'm glad that, like you got to
- 59:13see it from from like your bowl. Yeah, you got to see it
- 59:15from your perspective as kind of an outsider. My perspective was like growing up,
- 59:21like it was, Meridian was like the evil Empire, you know.
- 59:25They were. They were the big time rivals to us when I was growing
- 59:29up. They were like Bellvue is in this area, yes, and it
- 59:32was they were unstoppable. There was a chunk in the nineties where they won
- 59:37like I don't know, like thirty five out of thirty eight league games,
- 59:42you know, and it was just they were big and scary. They were
- 59:45all black, played at home and they'd play Iron Man, you know during
- 59:50the announcements, and it was just like this, whoa, this is Meridian.
- 59:53This is and they right before the game, they all get they all
- 59:58like line up on like their hands and knees and they do like the shoulder
- 1:00:00pads bumps against each other, and it's like it's like it's like that's Meridian.
- 1:00:06No one else does that. Like they kind of have their ways.
- 1:00:08Yes, and and it's right there, like I'm talking like right before time
- 1:00:14for the national anthem, and it's yeah, there's it's just one school that
- 1:00:16I know that does that anymore, and that's O Day. Yeah. Plays
- 1:00:22hardcore, nasty, just muck it up football. Yeah. And and it's
- 1:00:25just there's that feel, there's that meridian feel, and it's a it's a
- 1:00:30it's cool now being on the the you know, the the fifty fifty side
- 1:00:34of it, Like I'm not going in with like I don't like these guys.
- 1:00:37I love fifty fifty, but this weekend you're rooting because well sure,
- 1:00:40yeah, but you know what I mean. Like, it's not like,
- 1:00:43oh they're they're they're the evil Empire anymore. This is like this is a
- 1:00:45welcoming place. I love going there, and it's it's uh, it's just
- 1:00:52it's come full circle for me and and having played games there and being intimidated
- 1:00:55and stuff like that. It's it's it's it's still feels like it when I
- 1:01:01step on the field and kind of look around like, wow, I remember
- 1:01:04when this happened. I remember when that happened. But it's and then the
- 1:01:07players walk out and it's just a new batch and and uh man, it's
- 1:01:12just a lot of fun to see and and uh this is I love that
- 1:01:15they're playing on a Saturday, and and so I'm able to go no matter

- 1:04:04on Saturday you're gonna be at two grass fields, so you definitely don't want
- 1:04:08that. Although you did mention that you could be upstairs so and actually you'll
- 1:04:13be at a you know what, Tyler, You're going to all grass this
- 1:04:15weekend. That's a hell of a weekend for you. I am, and

- 1:04:30Meridian. Yeah. So Randy is our guest picker, and as we mentioned
- 1:04:33before, Randy over at Walcom County Weather Walcom County Weather on Facebook. I'm
- 1:04:38sure you can search that and it'll take you right to it. But you
- 1:04:41know what, Tyler, I should bring up. I guess we need to
- 1:04:46maybe put this on our sheet every week. We need to know what the
- 1:04:50standings are. I don't know why I closed out the Monday Walcom preps list
- 1:04:57here, but let's take a look at the standings here for the pick,
- 1:05:00Tyler, you're nine and seven, Nate is twelve and four, Connor thirteen
- 1:05:03and three. I'm nine and seven. Jake, Oh excuse me, guess
- 1:05:09last week it was Jake Mason. This week the guest is Randy Small,
- 1:05:12who, by the way, both those guys are beating us. Because they're
- 1:05:14ten and six and then Joseph Consensus is eleven and five. By the way,
- 1:05:19huge shout out to Joe Consensus for his first career bounce pass reception.
- 1:05:24Right, yes, that's right, that's right. He was very excited at
- 1:05:28the Blaine Sea home games, standing on the sideline taking taking video and pictures
- 1:05:31and stuff like that. There was an incomplete pass that bounced off the turf.
- 1:05:35He caught it with one hand and he is in the record books now
- 1:05:40with one half reception or whatever you want to call that. He actually posted
- 1:05:43it on his Twitter page, Joe Consensus playing left out since nineteen seventy seven,
- 1:05:48So pretty pretty funny stuff there. You know what his nickname is since
- 1:05:53he goes one handed. No Dell Beckham, that's what he is. He
- 1:05:57is. He's no no Dell Beckham over there. But yeah, so that
- 1:06:04that's the standings, Tyler. Let's take a look at this week. We
- 1:06:08are all picking Linnen, Christian, Nooksack, Valley, Blaine, Lynden,
- 1:06:12and Meridian. So uh yeah, those what is that? One, two,
- 1:06:15three, four, five, Those five teams we are all picking them
- 1:06:19to win. Uh Nate and myself we have picked Cedro Wooley to beat Sea
- 1:06:24Home. Tyler, you and I are picking Granted Falls to beat Bellingham.
- 1:06:29I mean, not a lot of confidence in the BayHawks from the podcast.
- 1:06:31I mean that's I mean, you know what, Tyler, though, you
- 1:06:34and I maybe there's a reason we're in last place because we don't know what
- 1:06:38the heck we're talking about. Well, maybe this will this will turn Bellingham's
- 1:06:41fortunes. Yeah, hey, I just I've picked in the first two weeks
- 1:06:45they lost. Now I'm picking against him. Now they'll probably wine. We'll
- 1:06:47see what happens since then. And then Nate and myself again we are picking
- 1:06:54Topnish to beat Mount Baker, and then Nate. Only Nate is picking Glacier
- 1:06:59Peak over fal So new stadium out there. Nate not allowed. Not allowed
- 1:07:02of the new stadium. Nate not allowed. Nate, that's not allowed,
- 1:07:11Nate. Let's see here, Tyler, let's oh, I guess we're into
- 1:07:15the uh to the old fantasy draft here. Huh. Yeah, we gotta
- 1:07:19picks and uh in a very unusual turn of events, I'm going first.
- 1:07:25So, uh, you want to explain why that is? I mean,
- 1:07:29if you are so confident here, why don't you go now, Tyler,
- 1:07:31you beat me last week, so we are one and one on the season
- 1:07:34in the fantasy. So yeah, I mean, this isn't gonna happen often.
- 1:07:39But I'm gonna go first, and uh, I'm gonna go with Nooksack
- 1:07:43Valley's offensive line. We know how, we know how offensive lines can put
- 1:07:46put up big numbers, and I think they're gonna do it this week.
- 1:07:49So I'm gonna take the Pioneers old line. You know, I that's a
- 1:07:53good pick. But will you get if they put John Strumler at fullback sometimes?
- 1:07:58So if they give him the ball and he scores, are you getting
- 1:08:00an extra six points out of that? I don't know if you I don't
- 1:08:04know, because he's an offensive lineman, you know what I mean. Yeah,
- 1:08:09I mean you're the one that does the number, so probably not.
- 1:08:15It just it just came to me all of a sudden. I was like,
- 1:08:16oh, no, he might get a bonus points for that. No.
- 1:08:19I like to pick dominating offensive line, which means I get to pick
- 1:08:24two, So I gotta go for some I gotta go for some big points
- 1:08:30here. I think hmm, I think Riley Eyed from Blaine. You know,
- 1:08:36he he had an off game last week against them. He really tore
- 1:08:40it up in Week one. I think he's gonna bounce back at home.
- 1:08:44I'm gonna pick him as a wide receiver. Uh oh, you could pick
- 1:08:46him on defense as well. He does so many things, but I'm gonna
- 1:08:49pick him as a wide receiver. I think he's gonna have a big,
- 1:08:51big game. And then I'm also gonna take Josh Leonard of Bellingham at quarterback.
- 1:08:58Last week he put up the ball thirty seven times without an interception,
- 1:09:01tying a school record. I think they're gonna air it out some more.
- 1:09:08Yeah. I just like a lot of those weapons that they have, and
- 1:09:10and he's becoming more and more confident in that passing game with those new guys
- 1:09:15around him. So I'm gonna take yeah, Riley Eyed at wide receiver and
- 1:09:17Josh Leonard at quarterback. I like it. I like it. Both those
- 1:09:23guys could have big weeks. I'm trying to remember. Also, you know,
- 1:09:28sometimes you gotta think back to who you who you picked before, right,
- 1:09:31And in my head, I was telling myself, hey, you know
- 1:09:35a lot of the guy right here would be good, would be talent,
- 1:09:38bunt guard at running back, but I picked that guy last week. You
- 1:09:43know, I think I'm gonna go and and I don't like to do this
- 1:09:47because all it takes is one guy to be not so great or to be
- 1:09:50a low scoring game. You can really screw yourself over. But I'm gonna
- 1:09:55go with Colton Lens at running back. I'm gonna go with Colton Lens.
- 1:09:59I feel like I feel like he is just really starting to come into his
- 1:10:02own here, you know what I mean, Like we know who he is,
- 1:10:05but I feel like it is now kind of kind of in a way,
- 1:10:09like they're gonna start leaning on him a little bit more. Seven touchdowns
- 1:10:14in the first two games. It's not too bad. Yeah, not bad
- 1:10:15at all. Hey, why don't we double that up? And then I
- 1:10:19think I'm gonna go with I think I'm gonna go with the big man Joshton
- 1:10:25Elmer for the front seven is what I'm gonna do on defense? Yeah,
- 1:10:30that dude is just nasty on defense. Man one way all the time.
- 1:10:34It's go, go go, Hey, he plays two ways, but one
- 1:10:38way, yeah, exactly, let's see here. I'm gonna go back seven,
- 1:10:46okay. And I love the way he played last year against this against
- 1:10:53Kings and I loved what he did last week against Connell. I'm gonna go
- 1:10:58Corey Olney and the back seven. He's just a ballhawk back there and and
- 1:11:03very you know, very much like those really good safeties that you see when
- 1:11:08you watch the film. And yeah, and you could posit at one spot
- 1:11:11and you can see the one guy who's breaking for it before everybody else.
- 1:11:14Is that really good safety and that's that is him? You know about this,
- 1:11:18If if Colton Lentz and the offensive line do their thing, that means
- 1:11:24they're gonna be throwing the ball a lot kings will be because they're gonna have
- 1:11:28to be coming back, which could help you there with Corey only that's a
- 1:11:31that's an angle I'd never really thought about here. Well, I I kind
- 1:11:35of was. I was thinking about that a little bit, but not in
- 1:11:38that way. I just thought with them returning their quarterback, they would want
- 1:11:42to throw the ball a lot. I just, I just I wasn't thinking
- 1:11:44about it the way that you were. But but yeah, uh, and
- 1:11:48then I got another pick here, and I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
- 1:11:53with coach Olsen's defense, Blaine border right defense. You know, there's I
- 1:11:59love Blake Kreski in the middle. Uh, you know, i'd and Ship
- 1:12:02as the safeties. You know, Deming is a corner Dolry off the edge.
- 1:12:08You know. They just got some dudes that I think, you know,
- 1:12:11combined. I really like Malloy Messengers a linebacker. I think they're gonna
- 1:12:15think they're gonna do something big. I think they're gonna get like a pick
- 1:12:17six or something's something's gonna happen. They're gonna You're gonna scoop and score or
- 1:12:21something like that. So I'm gonna go Blaine's defense. Did you say Malloy
- 1:12:26Messenger. Malloy Messenger, baby, Wow, what a name. Yeah,
- 1:12:30you know, Tyler. One of these days, I'm gonna put together an
- 1:12:31all named team for Walcom County of just names that I love. Yeah,
- 1:12:36and uh, maybe we'll release it, you know what I mean. Maybe
- 1:12:40we'll do it all podcasts one of these days, because Malloy Messenger could start
- 1:12:44at any position for me, that's a top seed, right. Yeah.
- 1:12:46And then I mean our guy do call a appi APPI just because that name
- 1:12:50is impossible to say if you don't have Coach Meyer to tell you how to
- 1:12:54say it. Yeah. Well, that's yeah, he's he's he's emeritus like
- 1:12:58he's he's just in there. He's got he's almost been playing for ten years
- 1:13:01for correct. So let's see here. The only position left that we haven't
- 1:13:08picked is kicker. Right, Yes, that is correct? All right,
- 1:13:12then I will go with I mean, we've got to pick a team that's
- 1:13:15gonna have a lot of score a lot of points this week. And I'm
- 1:13:20gonna say, Tyler, I think you're gonna see a lot of points at
- 1:13:24a meridian. So I'm gonna go with Land and Downey. That's a good
- 1:13:29call. Soccer kid, really good football player, but has a soccer background.
- 1:13:33Two and so he's got a good, really good leg on him.
- 1:13:39Let's see here, whoa whoa, whoa whoa hold on roller player, I
- 1:13:42still get an Oh you gotta pick again. That's right, you get to
- 1:13:45pick again. And I'm gonna go. You know who helped me out last
- 1:13:47year, Tyler? Do you remember the game against sakam Oh? Yeah,
- 1:13:53I'm gonna last year. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go
- 1:13:58right here. I'm gonna go Linnen Christian defense because last I think maybe this
- 1:14:01might be the last time I picked them and they went absolutely bonkers and got
- 1:14:05me about six hundred points. So I'm gonna say, Lennon Christian's defense is
- 1:14:10gonna be what puts me over the top and gets me picking second again.
- 1:14:15M I like your thinking there. It's a good pick, and everything's been
- 1:14:23picked, so at this point we're just picking anything. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:14:26So I'm gonna go Meridians offensive line. I just love that group. I
- 1:14:31picked him in week one two. I can't. I can't get away from
- 1:14:34They're just I just really really enjoy that. Those those five and they're all
- 1:14:40gonna come back next year too, So I just I don't know. I
- 1:14:44think they're gonna put up a lot of points, and it's gonna be because
- 1:14:45of that offensive line. They're gonna they're gonna start that engine. It's gonna
- 1:14:48be between this year and next year. Tyler, you're gonna pick them like
- 1:14:51twenty five times. I know, I know, it's crazy. I just
- 1:14:55can't pick them in back to back weeks. That's it. And then I'm
- 1:15:00gonna go on the defensive side of the ball. I'm gonna take Alex Mololi
- 1:15:02as a front seventh guy. You know, he really got after it last
- 1:15:05week at Wenatchee, I had a couple of sacks, had a couple more
- 1:15:10tackles for loss. He is just the heart and soul of that team and
- 1:15:15one of the best defensive linemen in Walking County, if not the best.
- 1:15:20He's just he's just relentless off that edge, so big and strong. I
- 1:15:25think that he could put up some big numbers with some sacks, maybe a
- 1:15:28strip sack. I'm looking for a big game out of him. All right,
- 1:15:33let's see here, I've got back seven, quarterback and receiver left.
- 1:15:36So let's just finish off the defense here, and I will go with a
- 1:15:44game that I think is gonna at least be a game that will get to
- 1:15:46the third fourth quarter. There, I'm gonna go with Connor Walker in the
- 1:15:50back seven against Ferndale. I could see that being or excuse me, against
- 1:15:57Glacier Peak. I could see that being. You know, I think he
- 1:16:00could get quite a few tackles. I saw Glacier Peak last week. They
- 1:16:02got a really good running back, actually got a couple of them, and
- 1:16:05they do run the ball well, so I think he could not only get
- 1:16:08some tackles, But then I think if they're up in that game, they're
- 1:16:11gonna need to throw. I could see an interception or two coming out of
- 1:16:14him also, and you know, if he's really feeling it, maybe a
- 1:16:17forced fumble or two. And then I'm gonna go quarterback and I'll pick I
- 1:16:24mean, yeah, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Brandt Hepner in
- 1:16:28this one. I think he's I think he's he's due for a good one
- 1:16:30here, So uh yeah, we'll go Connor Walker and brand Hepner. Yeah,
- 1:16:35those are a couple, couple under the radar guys. Yeah, I
- 1:16:40mean I decided to pick you know, some non household names if you will.
- 1:16:44Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, I get two and then I'm
- 1:16:49finished, and I need a kicker, and I'm gonna kind of go with
- 1:16:54your Rashal with a team that's gonna score a lot of points. I liked
- 1:16:58your pick with Landon Downey, That's probably who I would have gone with.
- 1:17:00But I'm gonna go with Gunner Pereira, the new kicker with the links.
- 1:17:04I think they want to put up a ton of points. And he kicked
- 1:17:09the field goal last week that would have been good from probably forty, so
- 1:17:13I was really impressed with him. Not the biggest guy, but he's got
- 1:17:15a pretty pretty good leg. So I'm there. I am impressed with him
- 1:17:19as a as a kicker. And then all I have is running back left.
- 1:17:24And you know, I I keep looking at all these guys and that
- 1:17:29you know, some of them seem obvious. But I just got a hunch
- 1:17:31about Brady Bruland at Mount Baker, you know, playing at home against the
- 1:17:38team that you know, you're not that you're desperate for a win, but
- 1:17:42man, you really don't want to start the season oo and three. And
- 1:17:44man, when they run that you know that that counter run. You know,
- 1:17:48Brulin's got some great speed. He showed me a lot last week.
- 1:17:53I think he's gonna keep improving. And and uh, he's a guy that's
- 1:17:56been playing really well on defense too. And he returns kickoffs. It's hard
- 1:18:00to keep him off the field. I see a big game from Brady Brulin.
- 1:18:02Tell me this tyler on last year's team position wise? Okay, yeah,
- 1:18:08who who was Brady Brulin last year? He was the starting kickoff returner.
- 1:18:15No, no, no, no, oh, I'm so I see
- 1:18:16what you're saying. It would have been uh Willam Mololey. Okay, Okay,
- 1:18:21I'm trying to figure out because I'm like, he's not I don't think
- 1:18:26he's Marcus George. No, Marcus George was the fullback, which is Dylan
- 1:18:30Moan. Now, okay, that's right now, Tyler. Something that I
- 1:18:35think is interesting as I look over who we've picked. Last week, you
- 1:18:40took Landed Downy in the back seven, I've got him a kicker. Last
- 1:18:43week I took Brady Brulin. I think in the back seven, you got
- 1:18:45him at running back. Yeah. I mean this is high school football,
- 1:18:47baby, Like this is all over the places. Yeah, They're all over
- 1:18:50the place. I love it. So all I have left is wide receiver.
- 1:18:56And I'm looking over this, Tyler, and I see, I see.
- 1:19:00You know last week you took Nolan right and I went with Juice yep,
- 1:19:05And I'm gonna do it again. You too, will not Juice.
- 1:19:10Obviously you took. You took Josh Leonard, so I'm taking muscle Beach.
- 1:19:17I'm going muscle Beach. Josh told I just I don't know. I feel
- 1:19:21like he played a great game and he's got a shot to do it again.
- 1:19:25I think this is maybe there's what puts them over the top here you
- 1:19:29know what I mean, like maybe gets them on the right track. So
- 1:19:31there's a really good connection between those guys. Yeah, it's that's a good
- 1:19:35pick. Well should be. I mean I would be thrown to a guy
- 1:19:38that you know looks like he uh been you know, taking some supplements,
- 1:19:43you know what I mean, like uh Tyler. So just to run it
- 1:19:46down real quick, Nooksack Valley offensive line for me, you have a Meridians
- 1:19:50offensive line, and then you took or You've got Riley Eyed at receiver.
- 1:19:56I've got Josh Tolett receiver. You've got Brady Brulin running back, and then
- 1:20:00I've got Coulton Lenset running back. In the front seven. On defense,
- 1:20:03Josh and Elmer in the front seven on defense for you, Alex Malowley,
- 1:20:08by the way, I feel like ever since we started doing this podcast,
- 1:20:12there's been a Malowle at Mount Baker. In the back seven, You've got
- 1:20:16Corey Olney and I've got Connor Walker. Defensively, you've got Blaine, I've
- 1:20:23got Lyndon Christian and then in the kickers, we've got Landon Downey for me,
- 1:20:28and you've got Gunner Pereira Perera. I like that, especially when you
- 1:20:33got Gunner before it with a R. It's like, that's a good looking
- 1:20:38name. It might make the all name team Tyler. Yeah. Well you
- 1:20:41know, of course, my beagle that I had for twelve years was named
- 1:20:45Gunner, but that was spilled with the n ear. But see, so
- 1:20:47I am partial to that name. I guess, well kind of. I
- 1:20:49mean er Aar and Boomers Siason named his son Gunner. I believe I could
- 1:20:57be wrong here. I believe Jay Buner did too. Yeah, I believe
- 1:21:00that. I believe it was Gunner Buner. Nice Gunner. Gunner is a
- 1:21:03good name. Yeah, Jay Buner had a gun, didn't he? Oh
- 1:21:08my god, that guy had a cannon. I remember one night. I
- 1:21:11remember one night, Matt Noakes hit a ball off the wall and right from
- 1:21:15Mattock he hit one off the wall in right field and it just came,
- 1:21:21I mean, just a perfect bounce right to Jay Buner, and he turned
- 1:21:27around and just absolutely hammered a throw at a second base and I mean,
- 1:21:30I don't know who was there. It's probably like Felix Fairman or something,
- 1:21:33you know what I mean, and just boom. It was one of those
- 1:21:36ones. It was very much like each Euro's throw to get Terrence Long at
- 1:21:41third base with the a's like, uh, I'll never forget Dave Niehouse.
- 1:21:48It was something out of Star Wars over there, That's what it was.
- 1:21:53I mean, it was such a just it was one of those ones that
- 1:21:56was played so perfectly because it hit the wall one bounce. Buner caught it
- 1:22:00with his left hand and as he caught it, he was already turning and
- 1:22:03just throw an absolute hose the second base and good night. I mean it
- 1:22:09was just an abs. Why he was trying to go too, I have
- 1:22:12no idea, And didn't you have your dad had season tickets of the Kingdom
- 1:22:17kind of buy in right field area, like on the we were on the
- 1:22:20right by the visitor's bullpen. Visitors bullpen. Yeah yeah, we were sitting
- 1:22:25right there. So anytime a ball, anytime, So the way that it
- 1:22:28was turned, remember how like the seats down the when you got fur enough
- 1:22:30far enough down the line, the seats turned in right. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:22:33So any home run to right field you had to like turn to like
- 1:22:36watch it and get up and look. You had to like kink your neck
- 1:22:41around like an owl and look at it up over there. So that that's
- 1:22:45anytime a ball would hit the wall in right field. It's weird because the
- 1:22:48bang off the wall was really not that loud, not like it is at
- 1:22:50say Fenway, right Yeah, but it would it would hit the wall.
- 1:22:54And I'll never forget that one because it hit the wall and it was just
- 1:22:57the most perfect bounce, like right to him, and and and as he
- 1:23:00turned to throw, You're just like, no way, that guy's looking for
- 1:23:02two. And then you look and he's like halfway and it's like, oh,
- 1:23:05Buner's got him. I mean, why did you trade Jay Bune?
- 1:23:13All right, Tyler, let's wrap it up. But before we get out
- 1:23:15of here, we do need to give people a code words so they can
- 1:23:17get you by the way, four games, four games that Tyler's going to
- 1:23:21where you can get yourself a free walk Coome Preps stick. You know what,
- 1:23:25Tyler, you know what we're gonna have to do at some point,

- 1:23:43in this is the fast one, Tyler, this is a fast podcast.
- 1:23:45But the code word. We got two code words here because you just threw
- 1:23:48another one on the list, and we usually try to do I mean,
- 1:23:54I feel like we try to do it with something having to do with the
- 1:23:56guest picker. So it's an easy one for the guest picker, weather Man.
- 1:23:59Walk up, say weather Man and you can get one now, Tyler.

- 1:24:24I love those kinds of names back from the eighties and nineties that athletes that
- 1:24:29were like had like a very short like Matt Noakes at like thirty something home
- 1:24:32runs his rookie year, and it was like this is the next Guys like
- 1:24:35him and Kevin Mas were like who's the best Mat and the just kind of
- 1:24:41fell away, you know, who's the best Matt of all time in Major
- 1:24:45League Baseball? Tyler, Oh my goodness, I have one that I that
- 1:24:49to me is like my favorite Matt. Matt Stairs, Matt Harvey. I'm
- 1:24:57trying to give me. You remember remember the big swing of Matt Stairs.
- 1:25:01Oh yeah, I mean he had the biggest swing in the history of baseball.
- 1:25:04I'll tell you up though, you put one just above his shoe tops.
- 1:25:08He's knocking that baby out of the park. How about Matt Holiday.
- 1:25:12He's a good player. Actually, his son is ridiculous. Matt Williams was
- 1:25:15pretty good. Oh, Mattie Williams. I liked Matt Williams. There's a
- 1:25:19good ejection of Matt Williams when he was the manager of the of the Nats.
- 1:25:24Yeah, he's just screaming Matt. I mean, it's so so angry.
- 1:25:30There's gotta be some good Matts. Somebody, somebody listened to this podcast
- 1:25:33right now is screaming at their at their podcast machine, whatever it is they're
- 1:25:38listening on, and they're going, Matt, you guys don't remember Matt.
- 1:25:41This guy, you guys don't remember Matt Kemp. You know, was Matt
- 1:25:45Kemp. He was with the Dodgers Dodgers. Yeah, he wasn't a bad
- 1:25:48player. I saw this baseball stat. I know we're getting off the air
- 1:25:54here in a second, but there's this baseball stat, and I've seen it
- 1:25:56before and I totally forgot about it. I saw it again today and I
- 1:25:59love it. Or says, out of all the baseball players that have ever
- 1:26:02played, how is it? Kendrickfield Junior is second time in hits for a
- 1:26:12lefty outfielder that was born in Dinorah, Pennsylvania, on November twenty feet Who
- 1:26:18who was ahead of him? Stand Musual? Oh my god, that's unbelievable.
- 1:26:24They both had the same birthday, born in the same city. Now
- 1:26:28left, what's the well stand Musul also had that other stat where he had
- 1:26:36was it he had exactly the same amount of hits lefty as righty or something
- 1:26:40like that. No, it was it was away and home, That's what
- 1:26:43it was. Yeah, So he he had thirty six hundred and thirty hits
- 1:26:46eighteen one eight hundred and fifteen at home, one eight hundred and fifteen on
- 1:26:51the road. That's just stupid, you know, Yeah, it says here.
- 1:26:56He also had exactly thirty nine stolen bases at home and thirty nine on
- 1:26:59the road. No way, like somebody's messing with us on that one,
- 1:27:04right, Yeah, there's no way, Stan says, says Stan Muzle,
- 1:27:09a model of sustained consistent excellence during his Hall of Fame career, exactly eighteen
- 1:27:13hundred and fifteen hits at home, eighteen hundred fifteen on the road. And
- 1:27:16though he obviously wasn't much of a stolen based threat, he also had exactly
- 1:27:20thirty nine stolen bases at home, thirty nine on the road. Now that's
- 1:27:24just dumb, Like those have to be the back end of a double steal.
- 1:27:28I mean, you can't tell me that guy was running. No.
- 1:27:30And actually, you know it's funny now that I'm I'm thinking about. You
- 1:27:33know what this It says here thirty four crazy MLB statistical coincidences that are almost
- 1:27:39too unbelievable to be true. And the picture is Stan Muzle and Ken Grife
- 1:27:43Jr. Yeah, well there you go. Yeah, Cecil Fielder made his
- 1:27:46MLB debut at twenty one years in Japan. Blah blah blah blah blah.
- 1:27:50It's about his kid making the same thing. I mean, that's just crazy.
- 1:27:55Did you ever see that. Didn't they end with the same amount of
- 1:27:58home runs? There's something crazy about him. Yeah. Prince Fielder and cessil
- 1:28:01Fielder each hit three hundred and nineteen career home runs. Yeah. Did you
- 1:28:04know they also matched each other with ninety seven two out home runs, forty
- 1:28:10nine fourth inning home runs, twenty nine fifth inning home runs, and eighteen
- 1:28:14ninth inning home runs. And they both weighed two hundred and sixty eight pounds.
- 1:28:17Yeah. No, I'm just I was messing. I don't know.
- 1:28:20No, they were both way weirder. They're both big dudes. Yeah,
- 1:28:24yeah, I mean the couple. Did you ever have you ever seen when
- 1:28:27the I mean we're going way off topic here. Do you ever see when
- 1:28:30Prince Fielder hit that triple? Yes, he got the third and was just
- 1:28:33exhausted, Like yeah, and you're telling me he's a vegetarian. That's what
- 1:28:38they always said when you see a show them runs. You know what,
- 1:28:40I do remember that too, He's the biggest vegetarian you've ever seen. Yeah,
- 1:28:43I do, I do remember that. I do remember that there was
- 1:28:45that he was a vegetarian. Oh. I just saw Jamie Moyer's name.
- 1:28:49This feels like a low number but it's true. There have only been two
- 1:28:51pitchers in MLB history with the last name Moyer. Ed Moyer, who pitched
- 1:28:55six who pitched in six games for the Senators in nineteen ten, died on
- 1:29:00November eighteenth, nineteen sixty two. Jamie Moyer, twenty five years in the
- 1:29:05majors, was born that day. What the I mean, there's just some
- 1:29:11crazy stuff baseball. You gotta love it, right, Oh, I know?
- 1:29:13Jamie Moyer. Also, by the time he retired, he had pitched,
- 1:29:16he had pitched to like like oh yeah, not like of the player,
- 1:29:23all the players that have ever played or something. Another crazy thing,
- 1:29:26Tyler, Jamie Moyer when he was traded from Seattle to the Philadelphia Phillies,
- 1:29:30traded for a guy I grew up with, Andy barb oh Man. Yeah,
- 1:29:34he was traded back to Seattle or traded to Seattle, and then I
- 1:29:36think he I think he lives in Iowa now where maybe we had a double
- 1:29:43A team or something. Maybe Clinton was it Clinton the Clinton lumber Kings something
- 1:29:47like that. I don't know. I love some Major League Baseball name or
- 1:29:49minor league baseball team names too. We should we you know what, Tyler,
- 1:29:53We're gonna have to talk about that in the spring when we do a
- 1:29:55baseball podcast. Oh man, I can't wait. We'll just talk about minor
- 1:29:58league baseball team names. It's now an hour and thirty minutes in Tyler and
- 1:30:00technically people don't know this. It's one oh three am as we record this.
