00:00:12.609 --> 00:00:15.689
Greetings and welcome into the Whatcom Preps podcast. This is
2
00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:21.390
episode 453, the week five football recap. I am Tyler
3
00:00:21.449 --> 00:00:24.160
Anderson of Whatcom Preps and let's get right to it.
4
00:00:24.949 --> 00:00:28.230
Do you live in Whatcom, Skagit Island or San Juan
5
00:00:28.289 --> 00:00:31.390
County and want to become an official? Officiating is a
6
00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:33.810
great way to give back to your community and ensure
7
00:00:33.909 --> 00:00:36.170
our youth have an opportunity.
8
00:00:35.750 --> 00:00:40.850
To compete in athletics. Go to nwofficials.com to find out
9
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:45.270
how you can get involved. And it's a real thing.
10
00:00:45.329 --> 00:00:48.869
I mean, the shortage of officials, it's really causing games
11
00:00:48.890 --> 00:00:52.030
to get pushed to Thursdays and Saturdays. And it just
12
00:00:52.070 --> 00:00:55.950
happened recently. So the Linden Christian hosting Archbishop Murphy, it
13
00:00:55.990 --> 00:00:58.310
will now be a Thursday night game this upcoming week.
14
00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:01.090
And it's because of the official shortage. So even if
15
00:01:01.619 --> 00:01:04.280
you know somebody who you think would be good at
16
00:01:04.340 --> 00:01:08.900
it or would be interested, let them know, nwofficials.com.
17
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.170
And that's how you get started. And and you go
18
00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:11.650
from there.
19
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:14.150
So, um, it's a good way to, you know, be
20
00:01:14.209 --> 00:01:17.379
close to the action and stay in shape and get
21
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:17.989
paid for it.
22
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.480
I mean, you know, it's, and you learn a lot
23
00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:23.599
about the game. I mean, you learn, there's.
24
00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:26.219
So many rules that people think they know until you
25
00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:28.620
learn how to become an official. And then there's like, Oh,
26
00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:31.719
that there's this, and that could happen. And there's so
27
00:01:31.739 --> 00:01:34.140
much communication that goes between the officials. I'm right down
28
00:01:34.189 --> 00:01:36.609
there at field level and especially when I'm down when
29
00:01:36.629 --> 00:01:38.670
there's a play close to the goal line and the
30
00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:41.180
back judge and how they're communicating.
31
00:01:40.750 --> 00:01:41.500
To the side judges.
32
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.400
It's pretty impressive, all the stuff that they have to
33
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.519
keep in mind there. So check that out. Well, let's
34
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.700
take a look at the games that happened over the weekend.
35
00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:54.379
No Thursday games, but there was a Saturday game. So
36
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.439
we're going to start right there on Friday night with
37
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.280
a game down in Mount Vernon as Ferndale went south
38
00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:04.879
to take on the Bulldogs. and got the win 42
39
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.159
to 25 up their record to four and one on
40
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.840
the season. And this one was, this was a little
41
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.050
closer than I think the golden Eagles would have wanted.
42
00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:18.050
Elliot Lenson picks up a couple of touchdown runs early
43
00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:20.770
to make it 14, zero after one quarter, but Mount Vernon,
44
00:02:21.250 --> 00:02:26.129
they threw three touchdown passes in the second quarter alone and, um,
45
00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:27.969
ended up taking the lead.
46
00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:31.409
Uh, Wyatt Broyles did score a touchdown, um.
47
00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:37.430
And to make it a 21-18 Ferndale lead at the half.
48
00:02:37.509 --> 00:02:40.590
But Mount Vernon took the lead back with their fourth
49
00:02:40.659 --> 00:02:43.500
touchdown pass of the game. And then from there on out,
50
00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:45.960
it was the Elliott Lenson show who had a 21-yard
51
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.080
touchdown run that was an incredible run and got some
52
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.199
really good blocking down the right side by those tight ends,
53
00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:56.979
Chance Hatchett and Hank Whitaker. And then he made some
54
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.280
moves of his own, broke some tackles, and then did
55
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.830
a back flop into the end zone. That gave Ferndale
56
00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:05.789
the lead at the end of the third quarter. And
57
00:03:05.810 --> 00:03:09.330
then Elliott Lenson had a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown,
58
00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:12.819
which really got everything going to give them a two-score lead.
59
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.139
And then he had another 19-yard touchdown run at the
60
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:19.400
end to put the game away. Ferndale as a team
61
00:03:19.460 --> 00:03:21.139
ran for 348 yards on 48 carries. Elliott Lenson himself,
62
00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:22.759
200 yards on 20 carries. He has now surpassed 1,000
63
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:31.400
yards on the season. Wyatt Broyles, 10 carries for 60 yards.
64
00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:35.860
Johnny Mahaffey, four carries for 55 yards. They also held
65
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:41.620
Mount Vernon to just 39 yards on the ground, which
66
00:03:41.689 --> 00:03:45.849
is an incredible number. Mount Vernon did go to the air, though,
67
00:03:45.849 --> 00:03:51.090
251 yards passing in those four touchdowns, but Ferndale did
68
00:03:51.129 --> 00:03:54.389
a great job. Braden Hendrickson blocked another extra point. I
69
00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:57.939
I've lost track of how many blocked extra points he has.
70
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.240
It's either three or four.
71
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.689
He is having a tremendous year. Whoever's playing right guard
72
00:04:04.750 --> 00:04:10.610
against Ferndale on extra points, be careful because he is
73
00:04:10.669 --> 00:04:12.900
a Mack truck coming through that line. He just bursts
74
00:04:12.939 --> 00:04:15.139
through there, pushes the guy back, and then puts the
75
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.759
big paw up and blocks the extra point.
76
00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:17.980
He does it all the time.
77
00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:21.240
So good luck to you if you are the right
78
00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:25.350
guard in the PAT. against Ferndale, because you're going to
79
00:04:25.370 --> 00:04:29.230
have to deal with some of that. Defensively, it was
80
00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:32.560
a great game by a lot of the individual players here.
81
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.839
Brock Hoyt, eight and a half tackles, two tackles for loss,
82
00:04:36.339 --> 00:04:39.819
playing that nickelback spot, which is just perfect for him
83
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.920
because he's got the athletic ability to cover guys down
84
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.560
the field, but then he has the physicality to make
85
00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:47.879
plays closer to the box in the backfield.
86
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.379
You'd send him on blitzes.
87
00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:51.490
He did get a couple tackles for loss, like I said,
88
00:04:51.550 --> 00:04:54.879
so Really, that's a great spot for him. Johnny Mahaffey
89
00:04:55.740 --> 00:04:58.120
from his free safety spot broke up three passes. He
90
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.920
also had an interception at the end of the game,
91
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.839
five and a half tackles. I thought he had a
92
00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:05.060
really good game defensively. Mason Button showing week in and
93
00:05:05.100 --> 00:05:07.439
week out, showing what he can do at that inside
94
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.810
linebacker spot. He had another eight tackles. Chance Hashett, four
95
00:05:10.819 --> 00:05:13.399
and a half tackles and a tackle for loss. And
96
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:20.819
Peace Windwalker, another great game with a strip sack, three tackles. So, yeah, very,
97
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.800
very impressive win there for Ferndale, who is now four
98
00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:27.740
and one, and they will host Oak Harbor on Friday.
99
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.949
Oak Harbor is one and four, so that will be
100
00:05:30.470 --> 00:05:33.230
their next game, which, you know, we'll talk about in
101
00:05:33.250 --> 00:05:36.529
the next podcast. Next game, we're going to talk about
102
00:05:36.709 --> 00:05:39.680
Linden over Sehome, 48 to seven.
103
00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:41.319
That was out at Civic Stadium.
104
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.089
And boy, this was all Linden, and You know, I
105
00:05:45.930 --> 00:05:48.259
think some people may have forgot, but because they've had
106
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.519
so many close games in the recent years. But now
107
00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:55.079
this is 23 straight times Linden has beaten Sehome. And
108
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:59.370
you have to go back to the early 2000s, the
109
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.189
last time Sehome beat Linden. And actually, Coach Plankovich was
110
00:06:03.230 --> 00:06:07.939
the head coach of Sehome the last time Sehome beat Linden. So. Um,
111
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.180
it's been a while, but, and, and see him right
112
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.360
off the bat, got some good things going. Bane Mitchell, uh,
113
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.680
booted the ball right off. One of the frontline Linden
114
00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:20.279
players came back, Callum Laplante, um, recovered it.
115
00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:22.060
And you're thinking, okay, we'll see him. He's going to
116
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.339
have first possession in the first half and the second half.
117
00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:29.120
And it just, you know, it just didn't go well.
118
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.870
They had to punt right away. And then it was
119
00:06:30.889 --> 00:06:32.089
just Linden, Linden, Linden.
120
00:06:32.170 --> 00:06:34.889
After that, um, Dawson Van Dalen with a 10 yard
121
00:06:34.930 --> 00:06:40.709
touchdown run, uh, Austin Postma, 72-yard touchdown pass right on
122
00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:44.389
the middle of the field to Gordie Bedlington. And those
123
00:06:44.430 --> 00:06:47.949
was 14-0 after the first quarter. Bedlington then went back
124
00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:51.129
to quarterback, found Caden Brown for a nine-yard touchdown pass.
125
00:06:51.670 --> 00:06:54.910
Sam Arango intercepted a pass in the end zone to
126
00:06:55.069 --> 00:06:57.529
cause a touchback on the very next play. He catches
127
00:06:57.589 --> 00:07:00.870
an 80-yard touchdown pass from Austin Postma. I mean, it
128
00:07:00.910 --> 00:07:04.829
was just, they could do whatever they wanted. Bedlington then
129
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:07.230
scores on the ground and then catches another touchdown.
130
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.240
From Postma.
131
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.259
So at that point, Bedlington threw a touchdown pass, ran
132
00:07:13.420 --> 00:07:17.180
one in, and caught two. So just did a lot
133
00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:22.000
of different things, did Gordie Bedlington in that game. And
134
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.620
Jad Geiger did complete a touchdown pass late to Gunnar Andersen,
135
00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:30.920
54 yards. But by that time, Linden had the third
136
00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:33.810
stringers in, and it was the third string connection of
137
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.060
Jace based into Zane Shoddy on a 55-yard touchdown pass
138
00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:42.540
in the fourth quarter for the Lions. Leading the way
139
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.509
on the ground was Dawson Van Dalen, 62 yards on
140
00:07:45.550 --> 00:07:50.290
just six carries. Gordie Bedlington, five carries for 47 yards.
141
00:07:51.069 --> 00:07:54.730
Those were the two main yard gainers there. Austin Postman,
142
00:07:54.829 --> 00:07:57.879
four for four for 168 yards and three.
143
00:07:57.699 --> 00:08:01.759
Touchdowns through the air. Is it three touchdowns? Yeah, three touchdowns.
144
00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:04.910
My goodness. Very, very efficient day there.
145
00:08:06.689 --> 00:08:12.410
Bedlington and Orango both at 80 and 88 yards receiving.
146
00:08:11.930 --> 00:08:12.370
On the day.
147
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:17.300
For Sehome, they do get the one touchdown pass from
148
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.300
Geiger to Anderson. Leading the way on the ground was
149
00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:25.720
Cash Barnes, 10 carries for 62 yards. Jack Geiger, they
150
00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:28.540
went to the air 42 times. He completed 19 of them.
151
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:32.259
He did throw the one touchdown pass through a couple interceptions.
152
00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:37.960
and Devin Bankson caught 10 passes for 78 yards. That
153
00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:40.720
might be a tight end record at Sehome. I'm not
154
00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:45.679
quite sure, but that's a lot of receptions there. Gunnar Andersen,
155
00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:48.700
five catches for 80 yards and the touchdown. Callum LaPlante,
156
00:08:48.779 --> 00:08:51.740
three catches for 49 yards. He had a tremendous catch
157
00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:55.519
near midfield with three guys on him. He's a guy that's,
158
00:08:55.990 --> 00:08:58.289
I've known about him for a few years, and he
159
00:08:58.330 --> 00:09:01.889
just was playing behind all those really good guys ahead
160
00:09:01.929 --> 00:09:03.809
of him, and he would get playing time here and
161
00:09:03.830 --> 00:09:05.269
there and he would make plays. And I was so
162
00:09:05.370 --> 00:09:08.529
excited for him as a senior to be doing his
163
00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:10.970
thing and, and showing what he can do and getting
164
00:09:10.990 --> 00:09:13.799
that playing time. Cause it's, um, you know, he's a
165
00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:16.960
guy that's rising up my list right now is a
166
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.019
guy that's, uh, doing lots of good things every single
167
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:27.399
Friday night. So, but, um, but it was all Linden defensively. Um, uh, uh,
168
00:09:28.230 --> 00:09:30.870
Landon Tolsma and Sam Arango, they each had an interception.
169
00:09:30.889 --> 00:09:34.720
Arango also broke up four passes. So tremendous game for
170
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.159
him defensively. Tolsma had four and.
171
00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:39.960
A half tackles. He had also had a pass broken up.
172
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.639
Dawson Van Dalen had six tackles.
173
00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:47.659
Yeah, I mean, it was pretty spread across the board.
174
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.220
Lots of guys doing things. That's kind of the Linden way.
175
00:09:50.259 --> 00:09:53.370
You don't usually see one guy doing all the stuff.
176
00:09:53.389 --> 00:09:56.389
You see lots of guys contributing. They swarm to the ball.
177
00:09:57.009 --> 00:10:01.669
Defensively for Seaholm, Avery Flagg, the freshman, he had three tackles,
178
00:10:01.710 --> 00:10:06.009
including a tackle for loss. Logan Rogers, again, four tackles,
179
00:10:06.330 --> 00:10:09.259
half a tackle for loss. Elias Lada, four and a
180
00:10:09.289 --> 00:10:12.679
half tackles. So those were kind of your main guys
181
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.919
defensively for Seaholm. As the Lions pick up the win,
182
00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:21.759
48-7 Linden. will host top-ranked Anacortes on Friday.
183
00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:24.519
That's going to be a huge, huge game.
184
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.480
And then the Mariners are going to renew their city
185
00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.840
rivalry with Bellingham at Civic Stadium on Friday night. And
186
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:38.110
there will be an honorary captain, a Bellingham grad, that
187
00:10:38.149 --> 00:10:39.850
will be out there for the coin toss.
188
00:10:39.889 --> 00:10:42.490
That's a surprise. I don't know if it's a surprise,
189
00:10:42.529 --> 00:10:44.490
but someone who's very near and dear to my heart.
190
00:10:44.970 --> 00:10:45.870
So that will be.
191
00:10:46.460 --> 00:10:48.299
pretty cool thing so if you're going out to civic
192
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.259
stadium on friday um that will be an exciting thing
193
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.799
is it's a it's someone very very special so very
194
00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:58.519
very cool there that they're.
195
00:10:58.590 --> 00:10:59.340
Honoring her.
196
00:11:00.950 --> 00:11:07.230
Next up nooksack valley over blaine 46 to 10 and
197
00:11:07.250 --> 00:11:10.669
uh the pioneers remain perfect as they move to five
198
00:11:10.710 --> 00:11:12.870
and oh on the season blaine drops to two and
199
00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:16.450
three and this was another one that It wasn't all
200
00:11:16.490 --> 00:11:19.970
that close. Nookzak Valley rips off four touchdowns in the
201
00:11:20.070 --> 00:11:24.269
first quarter alone, and they came out ready to play.
202
00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:29.480
They just put the pedal to the metal, I should say.
203
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:34.759
Trevon Skeenstra, a couple early touchdown runs. Tyler Martin, another interception,
204
00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:38.139
and another one returned for a touchdown. So far this year,
205
00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:40.870
I think he's got six interceptions. Two of them returned
206
00:11:40.909 --> 00:11:41.629
for touchdowns.
207
00:11:42.110 --> 00:11:42.809
I do believe he.
208
00:11:42.750 --> 00:11:46.169
Had another pick six called back. He had another interception
209
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.480
at one point in the season that was called back.
210
00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:51.679
So he could very well at this point have eight
211
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.460
interceptions and three return for touchdowns. Um, I need to
212
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:58.779
look up what the record for pick sixes is in
213
00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:02.659
a season and for a career because Tyler Martin is
214
00:12:03.330 --> 00:12:06.149
knocking on the door. He's basically, he's like Ed Reed
215
00:12:06.210 --> 00:12:10.149
out there. If anyone remembers Ed Reed from the Baltimore Ravens, um,
216
00:12:10.529 --> 00:12:13.090
he is that kind of difference maker at the free
217
00:12:13.129 --> 00:12:19.090
safety spot. Um, Yeah, he's a problem, and Blaine likes
218
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:20.730
to throw the ball a lot, so it just kind
219
00:12:20.769 --> 00:12:24.409
of played right into what the Pioneer's strength is. And
220
00:12:24.730 --> 00:12:27.610
then at the end of the first quarter, Lucas Woodridge
221
00:12:27.629 --> 00:12:30.370
had a perfect pass in the corner of the end
222
00:12:30.409 --> 00:12:34.070
zone to Tyler Martin. They connect for a 28-yard touchdown there,
223
00:12:34.429 --> 00:12:37.230
and then Lucas Woodridge hit his cousin, A.J. Woodridge, on
224
00:12:37.250 --> 00:12:40.370
a one-yard touchdown pass. That was right before halftime as
225
00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:44.500
Nooksack Valley led 33-0 at that point. Blaine came down
226
00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:46.820
and had a great drive to start the third quarter.
227
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.700
The running game, some things were starting to click there
228
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.279
a little bit more. Connor Brown scrambling around, finding time.
229
00:12:55.330 --> 00:12:57.889
He was without his number one target for the whole game.
230
00:12:57.990 --> 00:13:00.690
Peyton Bauma, who I believe has a wrist injury. I
231
00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:02.710
think he hurt his wrist last year too.
232
00:13:03.289 --> 00:13:05.389
Hopefully it's not the same one. Hopefully he'll be able
233
00:13:05.409 --> 00:13:06.370
to play basketball.
234
00:13:06.409 --> 00:13:08.549
I know he missed the beginning of basketball last year
235
00:13:08.990 --> 00:13:11.899
because of the injury. So and it sucks when it
236
00:13:11.909 --> 00:13:16.100
happens in your senior year. By all accounts, he's the
237
00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:17.340
best player on the team.
238
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.440
So, I mean, that's a real shame.
239
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.639
But they do finish that drive on an 18-yard touchdown
240
00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:28.779
pass to freshman tight end Dimitri Shvorak. And I'm telling
241
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.220
you right now, that's a name that you're going to
242
00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:34.419
want to know for the next few years. This is
243
00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:39.419
a guy that I think if he keeps progressing as
244
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.750
he should– At 6'2, 200 pounds right now as a freshman,
245
00:13:44.269 --> 00:13:47.629
if he gets to like 6'4, 230 or so by
246
00:13:47.669 --> 00:13:50.389
the time he's a senior, he could be one of
247
00:13:50.429 --> 00:13:54.309
those D1 type of tight ends. He is a really,
248
00:13:54.789 --> 00:13:58.129
really athletic kid that I'm excited about his future. So
249
00:13:58.169 --> 00:14:01.210
he gets his first varsity touchdown, which was really cool
250
00:14:01.230 --> 00:14:07.019
to see. Trey Hutink ran wild multiple times. There was
251
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.580
a play where he was dragging half the blame defense,
252
00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:13.220
for extra yards, just a strong, strong young man running
253
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.279
the ball. He had a 22 yard touchdown run there
254
00:14:16.299 --> 00:14:19.090
in the third quarter. And Eli King also had a
255
00:14:19.149 --> 00:14:21.370
two yard touchdown run, which followed up a long run
256
00:14:21.389 --> 00:14:24.250
that he had as well. Blaine ends it with a
257
00:14:24.250 --> 00:14:27.789
30 yard field goal by Hunter Candenoza as time was
258
00:14:27.850 --> 00:14:30.450
running out, which was pretty cool to see. You know,
259
00:14:30.870 --> 00:14:32.990
that's one of those things where you want to see
260
00:14:33.029 --> 00:14:35.500
if you can do it right. The clock is running,
261
00:14:35.539 --> 00:14:37.340
you get out there, you hurry up and snap and
262
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.929
all that kind of stuff. And, um, Good to put
263
00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:43.529
an extra three points on the board. And usually if
264
00:14:43.789 --> 00:14:46.389
they're going to kick longer, Peyton Bauma is the guy
265
00:14:46.409 --> 00:14:47.990
that they would use. So I think it's nice that
266
00:14:48.009 --> 00:14:50.909
they were able to try Hunter Candenoza in that spot.
267
00:14:50.970 --> 00:14:54.110
He's the PAT kicker, and he nailed it from 30
268
00:14:54.110 --> 00:14:56.889
yards out. So that gives them a little confidence going forward.
269
00:14:57.289 --> 00:15:00.840
Nooksack Valley was very balanced, 180 yards on the ground,
270
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.059
175 through the air. I'm not sure if Trevin Skenstra
271
00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:07.019
got hurt or not because he only had three carries
272
00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:09.450
in the game for 14 yards today. two of them
273
00:15:09.490 --> 00:15:11.250
went for touchdowns. They were, and they were both in
274
00:15:11.289 --> 00:15:14.330
the first quarter. He's a guy that's been averaging over
275
00:15:14.350 --> 00:15:17.389
a hundred yards a game. So I'm not quite sure
276
00:15:17.409 --> 00:15:24.049
if something happened there, but hopefully he's all right. But yeah,
277
00:15:24.409 --> 00:15:28.200
Hugh Tink carried the load, 10 carries, 98 yards, a touchdown.
278
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.759
And he did a, he did a fantastic job through
279
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:33.139
the air.
280
00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:38.179
Lucas Woodridge, 17 of 24 for 175 yards. Jaden Jones
281
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:41.740
caught five passes. Dane Ackerman, four catches for 62 yards.
282
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.940
Tyler Martin, A.J. Woodridge, Silas Tierna all caught two passes each.
283
00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:51.240
Very productive day for the Nooksack Valley offense, moving the.
284
00:15:51.230 --> 00:15:52.950
Ball very, very well.
285
00:15:53.549 --> 00:15:56.610
Blaine, Connor Brown led them on the ground. Eight carries
286
00:15:56.669 --> 00:15:59.909
for 46 yards. Tandy Heer had 25 yards. Asher Hagee
287
00:15:59.929 --> 00:16:03.990
had 20. Sehu Kanaji had 19. Connor Brown also threw
288
00:16:04.009 --> 00:16:07.740
the air 13 of 31 for 150 yards. and the
289
00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:12.460
touchdown pass. Isaac Bauma led them in receiving five catches
290
00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:16.679
for 78 yards. Hunter Canzanosa, four catches for 45 yards.
291
00:16:16.710 --> 00:16:19.990
Dimitri Shvorak had two catches for 23 yards. And then
292
00:16:20.049 --> 00:16:23.629
Tandy Heer and Jackson Bogards each had a reception as well.
293
00:16:24.309 --> 00:16:27.409
On defense, again, Tyler Martin, who's won Defensive Player of
294
00:16:27.429 --> 00:16:30.850
the Week twice already, had another great week, four tackles,
295
00:16:30.970 --> 00:16:33.389
a pass broken up, and another pick six.
296
00:16:34.129 --> 00:16:39.299
Just a tremendous showing by him. Uh, Hugh Tink too.
297
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.860
Um, he had a really, really good game. Trey Hugh
298
00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:45.940
Tink playing linebacker spot, four and a half tackles and
299
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.960
a tackle for loss. And I want to give a
300
00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:49.720
shout out to a kid who made a ton of
301
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.889
tackles on kickoffs, Mason Stanbro.
302
00:16:53.450 --> 00:16:54.409
He's a sophomore.
303
00:16:54.549 --> 00:16:57.149
And every time I, and I've talked about this time
304
00:16:57.190 --> 00:17:02.309
and time again, um, this happens every year, seemingly every
305
00:17:02.370 --> 00:17:05.769
school where there's a sophomore on kickoffs, that's making all
306
00:17:05.809 --> 00:17:08.789
the tackles and, That kid eventually goes on to become
307
00:17:08.809 --> 00:17:12.009
an awesome defensive football player. A few years ago, it
308
00:17:12.049 --> 00:17:14.970
was Max Lautenbach. Now he's an all-league player on defense.
309
00:17:15.529 --> 00:17:17.990
So keep an eye on Mason Stanbrough. I think he's
310
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.640
a guy that could get more and more reps defensively.
311
00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:23.660
He's just a.
312
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:28.119
Very willing tackler and did a great job. And he
313
00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:32.359
had a fumble recovery recently. on special teams, I mean,
314
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.519
he did a lot of really good things. So I'm
315
00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:37.869
excited for his future. I love learning about these kids.
316
00:17:39.190 --> 00:17:41.029
And then when they show up on Friday night and
317
00:17:41.069 --> 00:17:43.750
do these things, it makes it a lot of fun
318
00:17:43.869 --> 00:17:46.230
to kind of put a checkmark next to their name,
319
00:17:46.289 --> 00:17:47.950
a star next to their name, and then see what
320
00:17:47.990 --> 00:17:50.250
they do the next few years because it always seems
321
00:17:50.269 --> 00:17:54.279
to pan out pretty well. Blaine defensively, Matt Campion defensively.
322
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.099
Nine tackles, one and a half tackles for loss, a
323
00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.440
pass broken up. Boy, I've said it before. He's like
324
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.039
a spider monkey, man. He will just, if you ever
325
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:07.029
heard the song Seek and Destroy by Metallica, every time
326
00:18:07.109 --> 00:18:09.769
I see him make a tackle, that's the song going
327
00:18:09.829 --> 00:18:14.089
through my brain is Metallica's Seek and Destroy. So watch
328
00:18:14.170 --> 00:18:17.390
Matt Campion play defense and sing that song yourself and
329
00:18:17.410 --> 00:18:20.519
it will work out just fine. Hunter Candenoza from his
330
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:24.660
corner spot, seven tackles, two tackles for loss. Axel Shelton, again,
331
00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:29.529
big game, seven tackles and a quarterback sack. Asher Hagee
332
00:18:29.630 --> 00:18:32.470
from the defensive line spot, I thought he played pretty well.
333
00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:35.890
I mean, he's only got one speed, and it is
334
00:18:35.990 --> 00:18:38.069
full speed ahead. And so you can take advantage of
335
00:18:38.109 --> 00:18:42.940
that sometimes, you know, with screen passes and misdirection type things. But, boy,
336
00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:45.289
he gets such a good jump off the ball. He
337
00:18:45.329 --> 00:18:47.829
had four tackles, one and a half tackles for loss.
338
00:18:47.890 --> 00:18:50.849
He also forced a fumble. He's a guy that, as
339
00:18:50.890 --> 00:18:52.849
he keeps learning the game of football, is going to
340
00:18:52.890 --> 00:18:57.279
become a problem for people and really fun to watch him.
341
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.140
And Jackson Bogard, six and a half tackles from his
342
00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:03.859
safety spot. He had another good game as well. But
343
00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:08.130
the Nooksack Valley Pioneers win the game 46-10. They will
344
00:19:08.190 --> 00:19:12.240
travel to Mount Baker. on Friday to take on the
345
00:19:12.299 --> 00:19:15.839
Mountaineers at 7 o'clock. And the Borderites will host Meridian
346
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:19.200
on Friday at 7 o'clock. So the 1A' s conference play
347
00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:22.369
will still be in action there on Friday. And we'll
348
00:19:22.410 --> 00:19:24.710
talk about all those games with the coaches and stuff
349
00:19:25.029 --> 00:19:27.309
in the next podcast. But just kind of giving you
350
00:19:27.329 --> 00:19:31.049
a little heads up there. Next game, Bellingham going down
351
00:19:31.069 --> 00:19:33.769
to Quilsita Stadium and defeated Marysville Pilchuck 40-6.
352
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:38.700
Great game.
353
00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:42.200
Ben Leonard comes back. He has a monster game. 19
354
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:47.029
of 24 for 205 yards and four touchdowns. And, boy,
355
00:19:47.380 --> 00:19:50.019
I bet the Hawks were just.
356
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:53.460
Thrilled that he was able to play and stand out
357
00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:54.400
and do a great job.
358
00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:58.599
Matthew Steele catches three of those four touchdown passes. He
359
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:02.829
finishes with 10 catches for 132 yards and three touchdowns.
360
00:20:04.970 --> 00:20:08.430
He's just a guy that continuously keeps putting up big
361
00:20:08.549 --> 00:20:12.150
games after big games. Calvin Van Hoffweg in six catches
362
00:20:12.390 --> 00:20:13.190
for 43 yards.
363
00:20:13.230 --> 00:20:14.650
He caught a touchdown as well.
364
00:20:15.430 --> 00:20:18.589
And these younger guys, I tell you what, Bryce Shupak,
365
00:20:19.109 --> 00:20:22.029
Jaden Delaney, these guys are going to be studs. A
366
00:20:22.109 --> 00:20:24.809
lot of freshmen that are showing what they can do.
367
00:20:24.869 --> 00:20:28.130
I know the freshman team is undefeated. So, you know,
368
00:20:28.150 --> 00:20:31.630
the future is bright for Bellingham. And they found some
369
00:20:31.670 --> 00:20:34.589
stuff in the running game as well. Camden Chartier, nine
370
00:20:34.630 --> 00:20:38.609
carries for 49 yards. MJ Mena had five carries for
371
00:20:38.609 --> 00:20:42.299
39 yards. Nick Malone had 21 yards on the ground.
372
00:20:42.380 --> 00:20:46.339
So really, really cool to see that they were able
373
00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:50.220
to stand out that way and and and get the ball.
374
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.150
You know, they ran for over 120 yards, which I
375
00:20:52.170 --> 00:20:53.150
don't know if they'd done all year.
376
00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:57.450
And they were very even 28 run plays, 28 pass plays.
377
00:20:58.369 --> 00:21:00.660
So that was really good to see in Marysville Pilchuck.
378
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:04.099
You know, they struggled a little bit. They don't throw
379
00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:05.779
it a whole lot. They keep it on the ground.
380
00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:08.269
They've got huge guys on the offensive line. I mean,
381
00:21:08.309 --> 00:21:10.789
a couple of guys that were at least 350. They
382
00:21:10.829 --> 00:21:14.210
were big, big dudes. And Bellingham does not have that
383
00:21:14.230 --> 00:21:16.710
kind of size at all. It is all about speed
384
00:21:17.410 --> 00:21:21.710
and quickness. And they were able to hold Marysville Pilchuck
385
00:21:22.150 --> 00:21:24.819
to under 200 yards for the game and keep him
386
00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:27.200
off the scoreboard, which was most important. And it was
387
00:21:27.220 --> 00:21:29.650
a lowly score to the one touchdown, and that came
388
00:21:29.690 --> 00:21:35.750
against the backups in the fourth quarter. And Bellingham, you know,
389
00:21:35.829 --> 00:21:38.130
they did some good things. MJ Mena had a 21-yard
390
00:21:38.150 --> 00:21:42.009
touchdown run, which was really, really cool to see. Tyson
391
00:21:42.049 --> 00:21:45.250
Miller scored a touchdown late, the freshman running back. So
392
00:21:46.069 --> 00:21:50.309
nice to see different guys doing some things. And Julius Seyfried, I.
393
00:21:50.309 --> 00:21:52.279
Mean, he's not even 100%. He had.
394
00:21:54.230 --> 00:21:58.000
A monster game as outside linebacker spot, 11 tackles, one
395
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.160
and a half tackles for loss, and played with an
396
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:08.109
aggressiveness that was very, very exciting to see. It jumped
397
00:22:08.250 --> 00:22:10.630
off the screen watching the film.
398
00:22:10.650 --> 00:22:13.670
I can't even imagine what he's going to be like
399
00:22:13.710 --> 00:22:16.970
when he is fully healthy because he's a monster out there.
400
00:22:18.509 --> 00:22:21.190
Calvin Van Hofwagen, of course, doing his thing every week,
401
00:22:21.250 --> 00:22:23.269
three tackles, two of them for a loss. He also
402
00:22:23.349 --> 00:22:27.329
intercepted a pass just week after week, always doing good things.
403
00:22:27.430 --> 00:22:30.450
Jaquez Love-Rotson, he had one and a half tackles for
404
00:22:30.470 --> 00:22:33.690
a loss. Ryland Claussen had three and a half tackles
405
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.390
and a half.
406
00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:35.099
Tackle for a loss.
407
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.660
So a lot of these Bayhawks coming out, and good
408
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:43.920
to get back in the win column. So they go
409
00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:46.140
to two and three on the year. As we said earlier,
410
00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:48.779
they will host Seaholm, who is one and four. at
411
00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:53.059
7 o'clock on Friday at Civic Stadium. So be ready
412
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.529
for that. Bellingham, good to see them getting back into
413
00:22:56.569 --> 00:23:00.009
the win column there. Next up, didn't go so well
414
00:23:00.049 --> 00:23:04.069
for the Squalicum Storm as they went down to Archbishop
415
00:23:04.089 --> 00:23:08.589
Murphy and lost 51-7. They had a really good drive
416
00:23:08.789 --> 00:23:10.529
early in the game where they were able to get
417
00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:13.509
all the way to like the, I don't know, around
418
00:23:13.529 --> 00:23:17.309
the 10-yard line. They picked up, there was a 10-yard
419
00:23:17.349 --> 00:23:21.690
run by Tucker Hofstad. There was a 25-yard pass from
420
00:23:21.730 --> 00:23:25.509
Phoenix Price to Elias Laranaga. But then the drive was
421
00:23:25.549 --> 00:23:29.450
dismantled when there was a strip sack. And then they
422
00:23:29.490 --> 00:23:31.900
returned to 84 yards for a touchdown. And they just
423
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.259
had that big swing at that moment. Because if Squalicum
424
00:23:35.299 --> 00:23:38.839
scores on that drive, it's 7-7. And now, because of
425
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.400
one play, it goes 14-0. So you look at that
426
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:44.430
as like a 14-point swing. And then it's all Archbishop
427
00:23:44.569 --> 00:23:48.000
after that. Squalicum does score a touchdown, the first touchdown
428
00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:51.480
of the second quarter, as Maddox Strickland had a seven-yard
429
00:23:51.609 --> 00:23:55.509
touchdown run, and he set it up with.
430
00:23:55.410 --> 00:23:57.589
A 22-yard run before that.
431
00:23:58.069 --> 00:24:00.309
But other than that, I mean, it was all Wildcats.
432
00:24:00.349 --> 00:24:03.470
The defending champions looked pretty good as they ran for
433
00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:07.180
over 400 yards in the game. Squalicum ran for 123 yards.
434
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:10.279
Tucker Hofstede led the way with 49 yards on the
435
00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:14.529
ground on 12 carries. Maddox Strickland, seven carries left. for
436
00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:18.170
39 yards. Phoenix Price, three of nine through the air
437
00:24:18.509 --> 00:24:21.569
for 34 yards. Elias Laranaga caught two of the three passes.
438
00:24:21.990 --> 00:24:26.539
Tucker Hofstede caught the other one. Defensively, I thought Ray
439
00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:31.440
Hoffman had a pretty good game. Six and a half tackles,
440
00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:32.240
getting in there as.
441
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:32.980
The strong safety.
442
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:35.799
It's interesting when you're a strong safety against a run-heavy team,
443
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.539
you're basically turning into a linebacker, and he played great.
444
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:45.079
Elijah Webster at the corner spot. He had five tackles,
445
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.420
one pass broken up. And Mason Sone, the safety, four
446
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:50.460
and a half tackles and a tackle for a loss.
447
00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:53.980
So those were kind of the main guys defensively that
448
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:57.240
stood out there. As Squalicum takes the loss, their fourth
449
00:24:57.299 --> 00:24:57.839
in a row.
450
00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.200
Now they will travel to Sultan.
451
00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:03.549
On Friday to take on the Turks at 7 o'clock.
452
00:25:03.619 --> 00:25:06.769
Sultan's 2-3 on the year, but they took Burlington Edison
453
00:25:06.789 --> 00:25:09.789
to overtime last week. And we saw what Burlington Edison
454
00:25:09.809 --> 00:25:10.880
did to the Storm a.
455
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:11.450
Few weeks ago.
456
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:13.539
So this is not going to be an easy game
457
00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:16.359
for Squalicum. I really feel like all the games this
458
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:19.319
upcoming Friday are great matchups.
459
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:22.859
I mean, there's a lot of them. So really excited about.
460
00:25:24.309 --> 00:25:26.710
Doing the studio show on Friday night, bringing you all
461
00:25:26.750 --> 00:25:32.250
the action live as it's happening with instant replay highlights
462
00:25:32.329 --> 00:25:36.059
and a live scoreboard on the bottom. So it's going
463
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:37.619
to be one of those Friday nights where I think
464
00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:40.490
it's going to be A lot going on and very,
465
00:25:40.549 --> 00:25:44.789
very exciting. So very pumped about that. But Squalicum, they
466
00:25:44.809 --> 00:25:48.349
lost 51-7. They will try to get it right at
467
00:25:48.430 --> 00:25:51.670
Sultan next week. Next up, we go to the 1As
468
00:25:51.730 --> 00:25:56.849
again as Lyndon Christian defeated Meridian 48-18. It was pretty
469
00:25:56.910 --> 00:26:00.089
close early on going back and forth and a lot
470
00:26:00.109 --> 00:26:02.809
of interceptions. There were six total interceptions in the game.
471
00:26:05.009 --> 00:26:07.309
But Chris Coyman, my goodness, have a day.
472
00:26:07.309 --> 00:26:13.269
16 carries, 286 yards and four touchdowns. He broke four
473
00:26:13.470 --> 00:26:15.690
school records in the game alone.
474
00:26:15.710 --> 00:26:19.289
You know, what else can you say? I mean, that
475
00:26:19.369 --> 00:26:24.900
is just purely incredible. And, and he, and the thing
476
00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.960
was that was kind of fun about it was that
477
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.660
he didn't really carry the load. Like he would have
478
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.519
a long run and then they'd take him out and
479
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:33.799
Mason Berenson would come in and have some strong carries
480
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.930
and they put Coleman back in and, So they kind
481
00:26:36.970 --> 00:26:39.390
of used him in an interesting way where they didn't
482
00:26:39.670 --> 00:26:41.250
use him up, I guess I should say.
483
00:26:42.230 --> 00:26:44.890
And he was playing a defensive end spot, and he
484
00:26:44.930 --> 00:26:45.769
did some great things.
485
00:26:45.789 --> 00:26:47.910
He had a couple quarterback sacks. Chris Koiman had a
486
00:26:47.930 --> 00:26:51.769
great overall game. Speaking about great overall games, Trey Alexander,
487
00:26:51.789 --> 00:26:56.599
he had a monster game where he had to do
488
00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:57.599
a whole lot of stuff.
489
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:02.670
First of all, he threw for 237 yards. and a touchdown.
490
00:27:02.710 --> 00:27:05.730
He did throw four interceptions, two of them coming extremely
491
00:27:05.809 --> 00:27:08.490
late in the game. He also picked off two passes
492
00:27:08.529 --> 00:27:12.880
himself playing defense. So he did that. He threw, you know,
493
00:27:12.890 --> 00:27:14.279
he did that. We did, he did what he did
494
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.480
on defense. He threw for 237 yards. He also ran
495
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:20.720
for 180 yards. And I'm going to, I need to
496
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:24.019
check and see the last time a Meridian player ran
497
00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:28.059
for 180. I want to say it's been a while,
498
00:27:28.859 --> 00:27:31.329
but he had a heck of a game. Meridian as
499
00:27:31.369 --> 00:27:35.410
a team ran for 221 yards. And I mean, combined
500
00:27:35.430 --> 00:27:38.069
the two teams almost put up a thousand yards of offense.
501
00:27:38.109 --> 00:27:41.930
There was just a lot of offense going back and forth,
502
00:27:42.049 --> 00:27:44.210
back and forth, but Linden Christian.
503
00:27:44.269 --> 00:27:45.869
It was just, they just leaned on him and it
504
00:27:45.890 --> 00:27:47.130
was just too much links.
505
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.740
Getting the four interceptions was huge too, especially early on. Will,
506
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.640
Will McImer, the sophomore had an, had a, had an
507
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:59.519
interception early. It was, it was crazy because Elsie scores first,
508
00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:02.579
Koiman on a run, Then Trey Alexander scores on a
509
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:05.519
27-yard touchdown run, and then they kick an onside kick,
510
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:10.750
and Meridian gets it. Mason Simmons recovers it, and you're thinking, okay,
511
00:28:11.130 --> 00:28:13.529
Meridian's here to play, and then the very next play,
512
00:28:13.650 --> 00:28:19.450
interception deep into Meridian territory. That was Mackimer's interception, and.
513
00:28:19.089 --> 00:28:20.690
They ended up scoring Koeman on a run.
514
00:28:20.710 --> 00:28:22.670
Then he had Koeman at long run, then Hines had
515
00:28:22.710 --> 00:28:24.430
a short run, and Berenson had a short run, and
516
00:28:24.490 --> 00:28:28.170
all of a sudden, Elsie's up by four touchdowns in
517
00:28:28.190 --> 00:28:30.519
the fourth quarter, and it's just kind of like, holy cow,
518
00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:34.369
and and it just kind of poured on them after that.
519
00:28:34.410 --> 00:28:38.829
I mean, Elsie and Meridian still together put up, what,
520
00:28:38.910 --> 00:28:41.970
five touchdowns just in the fourth quarter alone as they
521
00:28:41.990 --> 00:28:43.490
kind of battled back and forth.
522
00:28:43.529 --> 00:28:47.730
But it was just good to see a good matchup,
523
00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.710
good football.
524
00:28:50.390 --> 00:28:56.259
Jackson Fannin-Steele ran for 41 yards for Meridian. And then
525
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.119
in the air, Pierce Brzozowski, seven catches for 61 yards.
526
00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:04.599
case and colt four catches for 91 yards josiah harris
527
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.819
four catches for 44 yards trevin crabtree jackson fan and
528
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.500
steel and casey brennan each had two catches jamison alexander
529
00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:15.180
had a catch as well for lyndon christian they just
530
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:17.720
they went heavy on the ground as well they ran
531
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.900
for 441 yards that's the most ever by a lyndon
532
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.940
christian football team in school history for a game as
533
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:27.279
a team coyman obviously picked up the most of it
534
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.279
286 yards which again is a school record Hines had 65,
535
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:34.839
Berenson had 64, Blankers had 21, and Sam Senti had
536
00:29:35.029 --> 00:29:39.309
two carries for five yards. Through the year, they didn't
537
00:29:39.490 --> 00:29:42.180
have to throw very much. Heinz, 5 of 12 for
538
00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:52.640
36 yards. And it was interesting because they still were
539
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:55.319
without a lot of their key players. I mean, Eli Stamps,
540
00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:57.910
I think he's out for a while. but Caden Veldman
541
00:29:57.930 --> 00:30:00.670
and Wyatt Campouse did not play either. So because of that,
542
00:30:00.710 --> 00:30:02.769
I think they knew they were going to go heavy
543
00:30:02.910 --> 00:30:05.670
run and, um, and they did.
544
00:30:05.690 --> 00:30:08.690
And it was pretty obvious that they did.
545
00:30:08.789 --> 00:30:13.920
So, um, yeah, I mean, Justin Kiewik, Jackson Yoon, each
546
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:16.119
had a couple of catches, Trey Morlag and Chris Koiman
547
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.799
each had a catch as well. Um, but it was
548
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.799
all links. And then, uh, the other records that he broke,
549
00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:28.059
he became the school's all time leading rusher. Um, And, um,
550
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:33.339
so he passed, um, Lance Bosman and that, plus he
551
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:36.180
passed Lance Bosman for the school record for yards in
552
00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:39.950
a single game. And then he broke Greg Dykstra's record
553
00:30:40.029 --> 00:30:44.990
for career rushing touchdowns. And then he broke Cade Eldridge's
554
00:30:45.109 --> 00:30:49.109
record for most yards per carry.
555
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:51.400
In a single game. So he just, he was just
556
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:53.640
a huge game. That's all I got to say about that.
557
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.599
I mean, it was just, it was, um, It was
558
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.180
a game that will be remembered for a while for
559
00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:01.720
all of Chris Koyman and the family and something he's
560
00:31:01.769 --> 00:31:06.769
going to probably tell his grandkids about. Defensively for the Lynx,
561
00:31:07.230 --> 00:31:10.049
Grant Adams had a couple interceptions, three tackles, a pass
562
00:31:10.109 --> 00:31:13.589
broken up. Gavin Van Lowe stepping in in the inside
563
00:31:13.630 --> 00:31:16.009
linebacker spot kind of turned into the middle linebacker spot
564
00:31:16.049 --> 00:31:18.309
as they went to like a dime.
565
00:31:17.950 --> 00:31:21.869
Defense, like a 4-1 defense. six, basically.
566
00:31:21.930 --> 00:31:24.609
You had Justin Kuick split out, like, playing corner, which
567
00:31:24.650 --> 00:31:27.069
was pretty cool to see, big physical corner like that.
568
00:31:28.829 --> 00:31:29.569
And he had a good game.
569
00:31:29.609 --> 00:31:31.210
He had seven and a half tackles and a pass
570
00:31:31.269 --> 00:31:34.630
broken up. Peter Enfield had a good game, five tackles
571
00:31:34.730 --> 00:31:37.309
and a sack. I talked about Chris Coyman with a
572
00:31:37.349 --> 00:31:40.849
couple sacks. That was pretty good. So good overall game
573
00:31:40.869 --> 00:31:45.529
by the Lynx defense. Meridian's defense, Ethan Valich, again, leading
574
00:31:45.549 --> 00:31:48.819
the way in tackles with nine tackles. Trey Alexander had
575
00:31:48.950 --> 00:31:50.720
one and a half tackles, a pass broken up, and
576
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:55.059
those two interceptions. Ryan Wynn had five and a half
577
00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:59.140
tackles and a sack. So they had some guys, too,
578
00:31:59.180 --> 00:32:02.440
that stood out there defensively, but it was just too
579
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:05.500
much Linden Christian as they moved to 4-1, and now.
580
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.990
They will host Archbishop Murphy on Thursday night at 7 o'clock.
581
00:32:09.009 --> 00:32:12.670
So be ready for that quick turnaround. Trojans fall to 2-3.
582
00:32:12.809 --> 00:32:16.109
They will travel to Blaine to take on the Borderites
583
00:32:16.230 --> 00:32:17.109
on Friday night.
584
00:32:17.529 --> 00:32:21.829
At seven o'clock. And one more game to talk about.
585
00:32:21.869 --> 00:32:24.890
This was the Saturday game as Mount Baker fell to
586
00:32:25.059 --> 00:32:29.259
on Alaska 32 to 14. And it was a strange
587
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:32.259
game to watch. It just, just things did not go
588
00:32:32.339 --> 00:32:34.119
Mount Baker's way. And I tell you what, the on
589
00:32:34.140 --> 00:32:37.039
Alaska loggers are a very good team. They're very physical team,
590
00:32:37.940 --> 00:32:41.200
but really what, what made them go was converting on
591
00:32:41.289 --> 00:32:43.450
four downs. And if you haven't seen on Alaska, they
592
00:32:43.470 --> 00:32:45.769
will run the ball. and run the ball, and run
593
00:32:45.789 --> 00:32:46.650
the ball, and run the ball.
594
00:32:46.690 --> 00:32:49.930
And to give you an idea, they had 62.
595
00:32:49.150 --> 00:32:52.750
Plays on offense. They ran the ball 60 times. And
596
00:32:52.769 --> 00:32:55.559
they were two of two through the air, but they
597
00:32:55.630 --> 00:32:59.579
want to run the ball constantly, much more than Baker does.
598
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.480
And they also don't punt very often, if at all.
599
00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:10.420
So they're built to get 10 yards in four plays.
600
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:12.859
And that's kind of what was happening.
601
00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:15.279
And there were so many times, I think I counted
602
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.099
seven times when on Alaska had the ball and it
603
00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:22.140
was fourth and like three and they would get it.
604
00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:24.579
And it's just like, oh my goodness, if you just
605
00:33:24.619 --> 00:33:28.519
stop them one of those times. And also like over
606
00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:32.549
their first 35 or 40 runs, they only had three
607
00:33:32.630 --> 00:33:35.349
runs that were double digit yards, but all three of
608
00:33:35.390 --> 00:33:36.750
them were broke loose for.
609
00:33:36.690 --> 00:33:41.000
Long touchdown runs. So that was a backbreaker as well.
610
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.880
Mount Baker did get on the board first on.
611
00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:46.599
A fourth-down pass play from Tyson Barksdale to Gage Smith
612
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:51.789
that covered 31 yards. But then Onalaska ripped off three
613
00:33:51.829 --> 00:33:55.670
touchdown runs, and they also went for two every time
614
00:33:55.710 --> 00:33:58.589
and got them every single time. So it was four
615
00:33:58.630 --> 00:34:00.579
touchdowns to two touchdowns, but when you look at the
616
00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:02.359
final score, it looks worse than that. It looks like
617
00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:04.119
they scored five touchdowns, but they didn't.
618
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:08.159
Um, on Alaska is really good. And Baker just kind
619
00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:10.010
of stepped their toe and they could not get the
620
00:34:10.110 --> 00:34:14.170
run game going. Um, and Knox Smith had a long
621
00:34:14.250 --> 00:34:17.329
run that went for like, I can't remember like 30
622
00:34:17.329 --> 00:34:20.570
yards late in the game. And that was more than
623
00:34:20.650 --> 00:34:22.829
half of their total yards on the ground. It was
624
00:34:23.010 --> 00:34:25.510
really strange to see Mount Baker also passed the ball
625
00:34:25.510 --> 00:34:28.679
23 times. They ran the ball only 21 times.
626
00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:32.170
So it was the first time since 2009 that, that
627
00:34:32.210 --> 00:34:34.610
they passed the ball more times than they ran the
628
00:34:34.650 --> 00:34:37.050
ball in a single game. It was just a lot
629
00:34:37.090 --> 00:34:39.329
of things that were, you know, the game plan was
630
00:34:39.369 --> 00:34:41.690
probably thrown out the window at multiple times because of
631
00:34:41.750 --> 00:34:46.059
the way things were going. And they do score a
632
00:34:46.099 --> 00:34:49.360
touchdown in the third quarter. Barksdale hit a knock Smith
633
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:51.539
on a 14-yard touchdown pass. But it was just weird
634
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:54.639
to see Baker only ran for 50 yards the entire
635
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:57.570
game and had zero rushing touchdowns. That's just something you
636
00:34:57.730 --> 00:35:01.619
never see. And on Alaska, ran for over 400 yards.
637
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.900
So it was strange to see, but I tell you what,
638
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.980
it was a non-league game, and I would not want
639
00:35:09.019 --> 00:35:11.679
to be at practice this week out in Deming, because
640
00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:15.900
I guarantee you they are going to hear about this
641
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.019
game a lot, especially with the guys up front, because
642
00:35:21.550 --> 00:35:24.489
when you only run for 50 yards, but you allow
643
00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:27.809
412 yards on the ground rushing, it's the guys up
644
00:35:27.929 --> 00:35:32.280
front that are probably going to hear about it. And
645
00:35:32.380 --> 00:35:34.380
they are going to be ready on Friday night. They
646
00:35:34.420 --> 00:35:36.929
take on the undefeated Pioneers.
647
00:35:36.489 --> 00:35:37.130
Coming to town.
648
00:35:37.929 --> 00:35:40.110
This is going to be a heck of a matchup
649
00:35:40.150 --> 00:35:43.849
because they are going to be really, really ticked off
650
00:35:43.989 --> 00:35:46.530
coming into that game. And Nooksack Valley is rolling right now.
651
00:35:46.610 --> 00:35:49.559
So it's going to be very interesting to see how
652
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.360
that one goes. Barksdale goes 12 of 23 through the
653
00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:58.219
air for 124 yards. Gage Smith caught seven passes for
654
00:35:58.219 --> 00:36:02.599
71 yards. And the defense, a lot of guys put
655
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.329
up numbers, but it's because you're on the field a lot.
656
00:36:05.349 --> 00:36:08.230
But a lot of guys, like I said, put up
657
00:36:08.250 --> 00:36:08.670
good numbers.
658
00:36:08.769 --> 00:36:11.869
Andrew Monteith had 11 tackles and a fumble recovery. That's
659
00:36:11.889 --> 00:36:12.349
the other thing.
660
00:36:12.769 --> 00:36:16.170
Mount Baker caused and recovered four fumbles, and it still
661
00:36:16.210 --> 00:36:19.780
went the way that it went, which is incredible. Gage Smith,
662
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:22.400
eight and a half tackles, a tackle for loss. He
663
00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:25.550
had a fumble recovery as well. Uh, Kel Reardon, six
664
00:36:25.570 --> 00:36:27.789
and a half tackles, a tackle for loss. He forced
665
00:36:27.849 --> 00:36:31.710
a fumble and recovered a fumble, two separate plays. Aaron Torres,
666
00:36:31.809 --> 00:36:33.820
eight and a half tackles, a tackle for loss and
667
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:36.739
a forced fumble. Eli James had eight and a half
668
00:36:36.780 --> 00:36:40.179
tackles and a fumble recovery. Pepe McAvoy Salgado had seven
669
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:44.079
and a half tackles. Um, Isaac DeCreek had six tackles
670
00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:46.469
and a tackle for loss. Noah Nicole Mills had 10
671
00:36:46.469 --> 00:36:49.409
and a half tackles. Um, you know, it's a lot
672
00:36:49.429 --> 00:36:52.489
of tackles when they're running the ball between the tackles. Um,
673
00:36:53.070 --> 00:36:55.110
That's a lot to say, but, but you get my drift.
674
00:36:55.150 --> 00:36:59.190
I mean, it was, it was, the defense was on
675
00:36:59.210 --> 00:37:02.429
the field a lot. That's, that's basically what you could
676
00:37:02.469 --> 00:37:05.269
say about that. And Mount Baker has the loss there.
677
00:37:05.750 --> 00:37:09.429
It made me think a lot of 2022. They had
678
00:37:09.469 --> 00:37:12.110
a game, which I believe was like week five, week
679
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.840
four or five, where they hosted, I want to say
680
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.619
it was like the center on a Saturday afternoon.
681
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:20.739
And they lost that game.
682
00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:22.260
Now this game was a little different because they were,
683
00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:24.219
they had a, I think they had a pretty big lead,
684
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:28.349
and the center came back and won. And then after
685
00:37:28.389 --> 00:37:30.250
that game, they just went on a big streak and
686
00:37:30.289 --> 00:37:32.090
got all the way to the state championship game. But
687
00:37:32.110 --> 00:37:34.090
I think that was like their fourth loss of the year,
688
00:37:34.710 --> 00:37:36.989
and it was like in weeks five or six. So
689
00:37:37.050 --> 00:37:41.769
it was– it kind of had that feel to it
690
00:37:41.789 --> 00:37:43.570
where it was like, what the heck is going on?
691
00:37:43.610 --> 00:37:48.039
It's daylight, Saturday game. It's at Bob Tisdale Field. It
692
00:37:48.059 --> 00:37:50.219
just had that icky feeling.
693
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.840
And if Baker can– you know, make it be like
694
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:58.469
2022 again, then, uh, you never know. They could go
695
00:37:58.510 --> 00:38:00.090
on a run. So we'll have to wait and see.
696
00:38:00.369 --> 00:38:02.750
They are the last team to play conference play. So
697
00:38:02.769 --> 00:38:05.289
they'll begin conference play. Like I said, on Friday when
698
00:38:05.309 --> 00:38:08.570
they host Nooksack Valley, the pioneers and a great rivalry
699
00:38:08.630 --> 00:38:11.460
game there. So those are all the games that happened
700
00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:13.820
over the weekend. Now we're going to start talking about
701
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.380
the players of the week. We're going to start off
702
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:17.980
with the offensive player of the week, which is brought
703
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:19.940
to you by Walton beverage. Who's been a staple in
704
00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:22.760
our community. For 95 years, and I will continue to
705
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.579
work harder every day to make the fantastic people of
706
00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:28.300
Walton Beverage proud to sponsor youth sports in our community.
707
00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:31.579
They deliver superior quality and commitment, and I plan to
708
00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:34.500
do the very same. The Walton Beverage Offensive Player of
709
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:35.699
the Week is no surprise.
710
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:40.199
It is Chris Coyman of Linden Christian. 16 carries for
711
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.619
286 yards and four touchdowns. Averaging almost 18 yards a carry.
712
00:38:46.099 --> 00:38:48.480
Breaks the school record for rushing yards in a game.
713
00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:50.429
He broke three other school records as well.
714
00:38:52.110 --> 00:38:55.090
Just a tremendous week by him. A lot of great performances.
715
00:38:55.170 --> 00:38:59.940
Ben Leonard, Matthew Steele, Austin Postma, Trey Alexander.
716
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:00.559
My goodness.
717
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.900
I mean, there were some huge, huge performances out there offensively.
718
00:39:04.659 --> 00:39:07.340
Elliot Lenson with another 200 yards on the ground. But
719
00:39:07.389 --> 00:39:10.090
Chris Koyman, this week belonged to you.
720
00:39:10.210 --> 00:39:11.449
Congratulations, my friend.
721
00:39:12.349 --> 00:39:14.050

722
00:39:14.150 --> 00:39:17.199

726
00:39:20.809 --> 00:39:23.869
was tricky because I almost could have given it to
727
00:39:23.909 --> 00:39:26.380
Tyler Martin again. That would have been his third time.
728
00:39:26.429 --> 00:39:46.150
But I do have like a point system. where I
729
00:39:46.230 --> 00:39:48.489
put in all these different statistics and then it kind
730
00:39:48.510 --> 00:39:50.610
of tells me who the defensive player of the week is.
731
00:39:51.500 --> 00:39:56.480
And this week it was Julius Seyfried of Bellingham, 11 tackles,
732
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:58.639
one and a half tackles for loss. And he was,
733
00:39:58.900 --> 00:40:02.030
he was a tone setter at cool seat of stadium
734
00:40:02.110 --> 00:40:04.949
against Marysville Pilchuck and great to see him back on
735
00:40:04.969 --> 00:40:08.789
the field. And congratulations to Julius Seyfried, the Bellingham junior.
736
00:40:08.849 --> 00:40:12.050

742
00:40:30.219 --> 00:40:32.940
the– I've never– I don't know if I've ever done that.
743
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:36.800
I don't think I have. Where a player wins it
744
00:40:36.820 --> 00:40:39.159
for special teams player of the week for just making
745
00:40:39.219 --> 00:40:44.300

746
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.739

Elliot Lenson from Ferndale. The 50 yard punt return for
751
00:40:59.250 --> 00:41:02.010
a touchdown was a backbreaker out at Mount Vernon.
752
00:41:02.670 --> 00:41:04.690
And it was a fantastic play, just.
753
00:41:05.050 --> 00:41:09.250
Whipping and weaving and zigging and zagging through the, the, the,
754
00:41:09.590 --> 00:41:12.869
Mount Vernon players and just a great run back for him.
755
00:41:12.949 --> 00:41:18.269
And so congratulations to Elliot Lenson, the Ferndale senior. You
756
00:41:18.349 --> 00:41:20.969

Well, you know, there was no coach's corner this week
772
00:42:12.070 --> 00:42:13.889
as coach Wood was off for the week, but I'm
773
00:42:13.929 --> 00:42:15.550

775
00:42:20.750 --> 00:42:23.449
