And to do it and to 102 00:06:11.620 --> 00:06:15.160 win by 12.5 seconds in the district championship, that's a 103 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.120 good place to do it. 104 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.230 So congratulations, Ari. 105 00:06:17.550 --> 00:06:20.310 To Ari Thompson of Meridian, you are the Stauffer Insurance 106 00:06:20.490 --> 00:06:24.389 Runner of the Week.

It's the 110 00:06:37.389 --> 00:06:45.819 Fairhaven difference. Visit them online at fairhaven.wwu.edu. And we are 111 00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:49.879 getting set here for Northwest districts. And that will be 112 00:06:49.939 --> 00:06:53.540 taking place on Friday and Saturday at the Fidalgo pool 113 00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:58.790 and fitness center in Anacortes. Of course, Anacortes as a team, very, very, 114 00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:02.490 you know, highly ranked and they're going to probably take 115 00:07:02.569 --> 00:07:04.930 it and all that as a team. But a lot 116 00:07:04.970 --> 00:07:07.149 of local swimmers that are going to be taking place 117 00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:12.089 in this at districts and the top three from each 118 00:07:12.170 --> 00:07:17.519 event are will go on to state uh and so 119 00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:19.319 yeah i want to just look at some of the 120 00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:21.449 we're just going to talk about some of the top 121 00:07:21.769 --> 00:07:25.149 um i'll bring up the top five let's say of 122 00:07:25.230 --> 00:07:29.529 each event so you look at the um at the 123 00:07:30.149 --> 00:07:32.810 which which relay is this one oh the 200 medley 124 00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:37.399 relay and linden is the second best team squalicum third 125 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.019 belliam fourth seal and fifth of course anacortes is the 126 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.220 best team so um so we got a. 127 00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:45.300 Four other schools. 128 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.399 There that are vying for a top spot, at least 129 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.480 the top three there to be able to go to state. 130 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.259 In the 200-yard freestyle, Elsa Ethelbaugh. 131 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.899 Of Seaholm way out in front leading the pack there. 132 00:07:57.790 --> 00:07:59.449 The fifth best. 133 00:07:59.290 --> 00:08:04.529 In the district is Bridget Breary of Alinden. She's a freshman, 134 00:08:05.470 --> 00:08:08.209 so she might have a chance as well. In the 135 00:08:08.230 --> 00:08:13.990 200-yard individual medley, We have Jordan Ebeling of Bellingham. She's 136 00:08:14.029 --> 00:08:18.910 ranked fourth in the district. And Carmody Beattie, her teammate, 137 00:08:19.089 --> 00:08:23.230 is ranked fifth. So a couple of high-end swimmers there, 138 00:08:23.269 --> 00:08:26.569 but they have some work to do to get into 139 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.480 the top

three there. In the 50-yard freestyle, we have 140 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.980 some great ones in this one, all from Whatcom County. 141 00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:37.360 Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham. Raha Gare of Seaholm. Soleil Rubido 142 00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:41.620 of Squalicum. Madeline Honkoop of Linden, Claire Fleming-Butella of Linden. 143 00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:45.419 So we got some, you know, we have the top five, 144 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:46.960 and they're all from Whatcom County. 145 00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:50.759 So those five right there will definitely be battling for 146 00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:55.909 those three spots. In diving, again, Whatcom County usually does 147 00:08:56.090 --> 00:09:01.090 quite well here. And Fiona Runnels of Sehome, Effie Taminga 148 00:09:01.110 --> 00:09:05.450 of Sehome, Carmody Beattie of Bellingham, Amanda Buck of Bellingham, 149 00:09:05.710 --> 00:09:10.000 all top. near the top there. So diving, especially in 150 00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:13.169 boys diving, I think it was something crazy last spring 151 00:09:13.210 --> 00:09:16.110 at State. Like the top four or five finishers were 152 00:09:16.210 --> 00:09:19.769 all from Whatcom County. So really good diving up in 153 00:09:19.809 --> 00:09:21.850 this area, which is great to see. We'll see how 154 00:09:21.870 --> 00:09:24.830 the girls do at State or at districts and then 155 00:09:24.870 --> 00:09:30.669 get to State. The 100-yard butterfly, the top Whatcom County swimmers, 156 00:09:30.730 --> 00:09:33.110 Jazzy Nelson actually has the top time in the district 157 00:09:33.169 --> 00:09:36.919 from Squalicum. And there's a lot of non-Wacom County swimmers 158 00:09:37.299 --> 00:09:40.710 behind her. And then Claire Thompson of Sehome, a freshman, 159 00:09:41.070 --> 00:09:44.990 she's the next one up there. In the 100-yard freestyle, 160 00:09:45.129 --> 00:09:48.509 Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham is the second best time in 161 00:09:48.529 --> 00:09:52.169 the district. Claire Fleming-Butella right behind her. Madeline Honkoop has 162 00:09:52.210 --> 00:09:55.049 the fifth best time. So we got some swimmers there 163 00:09:55.110 --> 00:10:00.559 to compete. In the 500-yard freestyle, the long-distance one, are 164 00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:04.419 Elsa Ethelbaugh is by, by far the. 165 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.299 Top time in the district. She is from Seaholm, the senior. 166 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.929 And so she'll be looking to take that Jordan Ebeling 167 00:10:10.970 --> 00:10:13.710 of Bellingham is the only other one in the district 168 00:10:13.730 --> 00:10:15.769 that can do that in under six minutes or has 169 00:10:15.830 --> 00:10:17.679 done it in under six minutes. Then you got a 170 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:22.100 lot of non-Walking County athletes after that. In the 200-yard 171 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.679 freestyle relay, the Bellingham team is the second best. Sehome 172 00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:28.870 is third, Squalicum

fourth, Linden fifth. Kind of all that 173 00:10:28.970 --> 00:10:32.450 same that we've been talking about in the past. Anacortes 174 00:10:32.490 --> 00:10:36.789 has the best time as a team, but the four 175 00:10:36.809 --> 00:10:40.980 Walking County schools right behind them. In the 100-yard backstroke, 176 00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:44.940 Amanda Buck of Bellingham is the fourth best time in 177 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:48.909 the district's And so she will be among she'll be 178 00:10:48.950 --> 00:10:51.350 have to fight through one of those top three to 179 00:10:51.409 --> 00:10:53.090 get through to go to state. 180 00:10:53.149 --> 00:10:53.789 So that'll be. 181 00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:56.740 One I'll be keeping an eye on. 100 yard breaststroke. 182 00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:00.200 Soleil Rubido of Squalicum has the best time in the district. 183 00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:03.700 Raha Gare of Sehome is third. Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum 184 00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:04.159 is second. 185 00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:04.559 I'm sorry. 186 00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:08.279 Jazzy Nelson of Squalicum is third. So we do have 187 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.190 the top three times from Whatcom County in the district. 188 00:11:11.250 --> 00:11:14.450 So that should be a good showing there. And then 189 00:11:14.610 --> 00:11:18.350 in the 400-yard freestyle relay, again, the Anacortes has the 190 00:11:18.389 --> 00:11:22.370 best time as usual. And then it's followed up by Linden, Squalicum, Bellingham, 191 00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:25.370 and Sehome. Again, the top three. 192 00:11:25.149 --> 00:11:25.730 Will go on. 193 00:11:25.830 --> 00:11:28.929 So very, very exciting to see how this will go 194 00:11:29.470 --> 00:11:32.509 out at districts at the Fidalgo Pool and Fitness Center 195 00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:36.889 in Anacortes. That will be Friday and Saturday. So be 196 00:11:36.950 --> 00:11:39.690 ready for that. That's going to be pretty awesome. Let's 197 00:11:39.750 --> 00:11:42.879 go to girls soccer, which is sponsored by North County 198 00:11:42.929 --> 00:11:49.480 Alliance FC. You can visit them online at ncalliancefc.com. And 199 00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:52.379 they got all sorts of things going, different levels. If 200 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.500 you got a little kiddo that wants to play soccer, 201 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.059 boy or girl, that is the place to go. Get 202 00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:59.620 them signed up and they do it the right way. 203 00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.019 And there's a lot of soccer going on out there. 204 00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:04.879 And of course, we're getting that time of. 205 00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:08.129 The year probably where it's, you know, with the weather changing, 206 00:12:08.169 --> 00:12:11.440 it'll start, it'll ramp back up in spring and, you know, 207 00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:14.639 go to ncaliancefc.com and you can find out when the 208 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.549 next signups are and all that and get ready for that. 209 00:12:17.629 --> 00:12:19.809 So go check that out. 210 00:12:19.870 --> 00:12:22.409 Let's take a look at the scores that happened over 211 00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:24.730 the weekend. And it was kind of funny because, or 212 00:12:24.769 --> 00:12:27.129 over the week, I should say, there was a lot of, 213 00:12:27.929 --> 00:12:29.750 you know, there were some soccer games that took place 214 00:12:29.769 --> 00:12:31.789 during the week that were regular season. There were some 215 00:12:31.809 --> 00:12:33.809 that took place and that were post-season. 216 00:12:34.509 --> 00:12:39.360 The 2A district tournament has been underway and has played 217 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.000 a few rounds already. So the 1A and 3A, well, 218 00:12:43.019 --> 00:12:46.580 the 3A started on Saturday, but the 1A hasn't even 219 00:12:46.620 --> 00:12:47.200 started yet. 220 00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:50.919 So we're kind of all over the map as far 221 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.059 as schedule goes. Let's just go to Monday. There was 222 00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:56.059 a 2A district tournament play-in game out at Blaine High 223 00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.279 School where Linden beat Sultan 8-0. So Sultan's season came 224 00:13:00.350 --> 00:13:03.649 to an end. And Ella Atkinson scored the first two 225 00:13:03.669 --> 00:13:05.889 goals of the game. Linden was able to roll from there. 226 00:13:05.929 --> 00:13:09.950 She was assisted by Kylie McVie and Heidi Rude. Mariah 227 00:13:09.990 --> 00:13:12.669 Vandermeer also had a pair of assists as other goals 228 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:17.179 came from Avery Francis, Sunia Grewal, Lena Vandermeer, Ruby Frerichs, 229 00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:19.679 Zetta Van Dyke, and Dori Langstrath. So a lot of 230 00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:24.500 different players got involved there. Also, Ferndale capped off their 231 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.690 regular season on Monday night with a shutout win on 232 00:13:28.730 --> 00:13:32.190 the road against Cedar Woolley 6-0. as Hannah Wynn kicked 233 00:13:32.230 --> 00:13:34.309 off the scoring with a goal, which was assisted by 234 00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:37.029 Liv Luna, and that was quickly followed up by a 235 00:13:37.129 --> 00:13:38.710 great shot by Mia Collins. 236 00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:41.769 Which angled perfectly over the goaltender's reach and into the 237 00:13:41.809 --> 00:13:42.450 back of the net. 238 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.840 Collins then found Luna for a goal, and the first 239 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.720 half also saw an amazing shot by Josie McClellan from 240 00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:52.659 well over 100 feet away, and Ferndale led 4-0 at 241 00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:55.559 the break. Evie Braun got into the scoring column in 242 00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:58.409 the second half, And she was joined by Audrey Callen, 243 00:13:58.490 --> 00:14:01.289 who dribbled past three defenders to score the final goal 244 00:14:02.590 --> 00:14:03.129 of the

game. 245 00:14:03.850 --> 00:14:04.409 Excuse me. 246 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.250 And then on Tuesday, there was a couple of 1A 247 00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:11.639 games to finish off the season as well. Lyndon Christian 248 00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:15.639 beat Mount Baker 4-0 as Addie Molendyke led the way 249 00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:18.740 with two goals and an assist. Lexi Yoon also had 250 00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:21.279 a goal and assist while Kaitlyn Cox scored a goal 251 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.539 and Macy Van Corbach added an assist. And then Nooksack 252 00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:28.860 Valley and Blaine played to a scoreless tie, and that 253 00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:33.659 was that, as I believe that was Blaine's fifth shutout. 254 00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:34.279 Of the year. 255 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.919 And I think it might be in all their wins 256 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.860 and maybe their ties, they don't allow a goal. 257 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.690 So it's just been. 258 00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:48.629 Trouble trying to score goals. Allowing them has been a 259 00:14:48.730 --> 00:14:50.129 strong point for Blaine. 260 00:14:50.889 --> 00:14:51.129 And then. 261 00:14:52.330 --> 00:14:54.789 On Wednesday, that's when the 2A district, you know, that 262 00:14:54.850 --> 00:14:56.879 first game with Linden and Sultan, that was the opening 263 00:14:56.929 --> 00:14:59.840 round of playing around. Then we got into double elimination. 264 00:14:59.899 --> 00:15:05.019 So on Wednesday, 2A district time, the tournament started out. 265 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.220 Sehome beat Linden 2-0 as Briley Valiant kicked off the 266 00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:11.879 scoring with a header off a corner kick from Amaya Reed. 267 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:14.730 And Sehome's second goal came when Reed was fouled in 268 00:15:14.750 --> 00:15:17.730 the box and Ayla Woodworth then scored on a penalty kick. 269 00:15:18.289 --> 00:15:23.879 Bellingham beat Lakewood 2-0. Bellingham the top seed. and they 270 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.960 got goals from Jane Goldsberry and Addison Bonner, which put 271 00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:33.029 Bellingham into the semifinals. Burlington Edison, they defeated Squalicum, so 272 00:15:33.070 --> 00:15:37.850 they knocked the Storm into the consolation round to play 273 00:15:38.149 --> 00:15:41.769 on Saturday. And then on that Saturday, a lot of 274 00:15:41.830 --> 00:15:45.340 soccer took place, especially in the 2A district tournament. As 275 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:47.740 it continued out at Civic Stadium, there was a tripleheader 276 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.720 out there, which was awesome. I saw my main man, Josh, 277 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.620 out there. A lot of stuff going on. The Storm 278 00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.399 kept their season alive with the win over the visiting Cougars. 279 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.419 Rylan Rockefeller scored on an assist from Siri Hoagland. And 280 00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:04.210 a

header by Rylah Sabato off a corner kick from 281 00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:07.529 Addie Wilson gave Squalicum the much more comfortable two-goal lead, 282 00:16:07.870 --> 00:16:09.750 which was enjoyed by the Storm for the rest of 283 00:16:09.769 --> 00:16:13.070 the contest. And the Mariners, they took care of business 284 00:16:13.110 --> 00:16:17.169 by beating Anacortes 2-0 with the shutout win there. Surin 285 00:16:17.250 --> 00:16:20.720 Connell scored an unassisted goal. And Amaya Reed was able 286 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.470 to score on her own corner kick. So that put 287 00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:27.389 the Mariners into the district championship game where they will 288 00:16:27.450 --> 00:16:31.129 face Bellingham, who got the 5-0 win over Burlington Edison. 289 00:16:31.909 --> 00:16:35.429 And Stella Eltrich scored first. She was followed by Addison Bonner, 290 00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:39.090 Zoe Rydell, Morgan Dupree, and Sarah Harward as they all 291 00:16:39.909 --> 00:16:42.690 got five different goals from five different players. So now Bellingham, 292 00:16:42.730 --> 00:16:45.809 like I said, they will face Seaholm for the district championships. 293 00:16:46.230 --> 00:16:50.250 Lyndon was already put into the consolation round. They lost 294 00:16:50.269 --> 00:16:53.549 to Archbishop Murphy on the road, 1-0. Their season came 295 00:16:53.590 --> 00:17:00.090 to a close at 6-13-1. And also, in 3A, Edmonds 296 00:17:00.129 --> 00:17:02.470 Woodway came to town to take on Ferndale, and it 297 00:17:02.509 --> 00:17:05.579 was a scoreless tie after regulation. They played the two 298 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:10.940 five-minute overtimes, and then it went to a shootout, and 299 00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:13.900 It was really tough for Ferndale as they had the 300 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.500 first chance at it, and they did not score on 301 00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.380 the first goal. So they were kind of playing from 302 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.500 behind the whole time. The Warriors scored every. 303 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.400 Single time, and that was that. 304 00:17:23.549 --> 00:17:26.789 And so they win basically 1-0 on a 5-4 penalty 305 00:17:26.829 --> 00:17:30.569 kick to put Ferndale, who hadn't lost since their first 306 00:17:30.630 --> 00:17:34.150 game of the year, put them into the consolation round. 307 00:17:34.210 --> 00:17:36.529 So when you look at all these tournaments, we're going 308 00:17:36.549 --> 00:17:38.650 to start off by looking at the 3A right there. 309 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.960 as Ferndale now will host Monroe. That will be at 310 00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:47.960 Ferndale High School, Tuesday night, 7 o'clock, in a loser-out contest. 311 00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:51.319 So they're going to definitely need to take care of 312 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.680 business there. If they do win, then they will play 313 00:17:54.819 --> 00:18:00.849 at Shoreline Stadium against, let's see here, they will play 314 00:18:00.970 --> 00:18:04.049 the loser of Snohomish and Shorecrest. 315 00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:05.410 And that would. 316 00:18:05.309 --> 00:18:10.029 Be on Thursday night against, at 7 o'clock at Shoreline Stadium, 317 00:18:10.130 --> 00:18:11.690 and the winner goes to state. 318 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:12.990 The loser is out. 319 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.920 So Ferndale, they can't lose anymore. They have to beat 320 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:20.779 Monroe on Tuesday, and then they'd have to win the 321 00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:27.900 next one again to get to state. So, yeah, it's, boy, 322 00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:32.680 that'd be tough. But we'll just kind of see how 323 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.640 that goes from there. 324 00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:37.920 It's going to be, Let's see. This one actually says loser. Oh, okay. 325 00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:42.390 So if they beat Monroe, and if they win again, 326 00:18:42.410 --> 00:18:44.150 they go to state. But if they lose again, then 327 00:18:44.190 --> 00:18:46.069 they play another game. 328 00:18:45.809 --> 00:18:46.829 To try to get to state. 329 00:18:46.910 --> 00:18:50.430 So there's a lot of teams in the district, which 330 00:18:50.470 --> 00:18:52.930 means a lot of berths in state soccer. So they're 331 00:18:52.950 --> 00:18:55.359 still alive. The biggest key, though, is they have to 332 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.220 beat Monroe Tuesday night. 333 00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:59.099 That game will be at home. 334 00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:04.400 Monroe on the season is 10-5-3. And I'm kind of 335 00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:08.400 looking for some... you know, crossover, uh, if they've played 336 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:13.829 anybody that Ferndale has played and I'm not seeing anybody that, 337 00:19:14.130 --> 00:19:16.349 you know, right off the bat, but 10, five and three, 338 00:19:16.430 --> 00:19:18.869 you've gone this far. I'm sure it's a pretty darn 339 00:19:18.890 --> 00:19:21.930 good team. So, um, we'll just have to wait and see. 340 00:19:21.950 --> 00:19:24.759 Let's hopefully the golden Eagles can get back on the 341 00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.940 right track and, you know, um, hopefully they learned something 342 00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.619 from that defeat. 343 00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:30.259 I tell you what, they had possession like 90% of 344 00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:33.529 the time. And I know, and I mean, I'm sure 345 00:19:33.589 --> 00:19:35.849 Edmonds Woodway's goalie is really, really good. I mean, she 346 00:19:35.890 --> 00:19:39.690 has to be. She stopped a ton of shots. But 347 00:19:39.750 --> 00:19:41.750 the way that they were playing is they knew they 348 00:19:41.789 --> 00:19:45.130 couldn't beat them in regulation, I feel. So they just 349 00:19:45.730 --> 00:19:46.049 they just. 350 00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:48.920 Went heavy on defense and they played it per two perfection. 351 00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:51.599 They got all the way to where they were going

352 00:19:51.619 --> 00:19:53.200 to try and beat them in penalty kicks and that's 353 00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:55.559 how they did it. So a good game plan by 354 00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:58.019 the Warriors, if that was the game plan and Ferndale 355 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:01.119 is going to have to try to bounce back. So, uh, 356 00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:03.470 so yeah, so that will be, like I said, against 357 00:20:03.490 --> 00:20:08.210 Monroe on Tuesday night. Um, In the 2A district, like 358 00:20:08.230 --> 00:20:09.730 I said, this has been going on for a few 359 00:20:09.809 --> 00:20:13.369 rounds now, so we've got some matchups already. We have 360 00:20:13.390 --> 00:20:18.049 some elimination matchups. Squalicum, they will play a loser-out game. 361 00:20:18.410 --> 00:20:24.329 That will be Tuesday night at 7 o'clock at Civic Stadium, 362 00:20:24.990 --> 00:20:28.630 and they play against Anacortes. So Squalicum, to keep their 363 00:20:28.650 --> 00:20:32.599 season alive, it's Tuesday night, Civic Stadium, 7 o'clock. And 364 00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:36.380 then also on Thursday night at Civic Stadium at 7 365 00:20:36.380 --> 00:20:39.660 o'clock will be the district championship game. The winner will 366 00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.170 go to state. That is between Seaham and Bellingham. Really, 367 00:20:43.210 --> 00:20:46.170 really great matchup there. The one and the two against 368 00:20:46.230 --> 00:20:51.950 each other is kind of what everyone's been expecting. Bellingham, 369 00:20:51.970 --> 00:20:54.490 I think they've only allowed three or four goals all year. 370 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.920 And so this will be a great matchup. 371 00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:00.940 I'm really excited for this one. I'll be out there 372 00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:01.420 for sure. 373 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.740 And from there, if Squalicum gets past Anacortes, they will 374 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:13.599 play the game before the district championship game in another 375 00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:16.309 loser out game against the winner of Archbishop Murphy and 376 00:21:16.349 --> 00:21:17.289 Burlington Edison. 377 00:21:17.369 --> 00:21:18.549 So Squalicum, if. 378 00:21:18.529 --> 00:21:21.869 Squalicum wants to get to state, they have to win 379 00:21:22.009 --> 00:21:25.329 three matches this week. They have to win Tuesday, they 380 00:21:25.349 --> 00:21:27.450 have to win Thursday, and then they have to win Saturday. 381 00:21:27.609 --> 00:21:30.099 All these games are at Civic Stadium. That's their only 382 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.920 path to get to state. And as far as see 383 00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:34.940 home in Bellingham goes. 384 00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.720 They play each other. 385 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:38.099 Like I said, for the, just for the district championship, 386 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:40.420 if you win, you go to state, but if you lose, 387 00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:43.160 you still get a chance to play on Saturday to 388 00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:45.619 go to state. That'll be Saturday at noon against the 389 00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:49.160 team that won them, won themselves through the consolation bracket. 390 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.339 So at least one team from Whatcom County is going 391 00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:53.440 where hopefully we'll be. 392 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:57.170 Able to get to. And yeah, we'll just see how 393 00:21:57.210 --> 00:21:57.710 that goes. 394 00:21:57.769 --> 00:22:01.009 Now, as far as the one, a, district tournament goes 395 00:22:01.069 --> 00:22:04.049 for girls soccer that's going to start on monday you're 396 00:22:04.069 --> 00:22:06.990 going to have blaine and mount baker play in a 397 00:22:07.410 --> 00:22:10.549 loser out contest there they split during the regular season 398 00:22:10.589 --> 00:22:13.890 beating each other and uh from and all these games 399 00:22:13.930 --> 00:22:15.970 are at blaine high school so this would be at 400 00:22:16.109 --> 00:22:20.130 six o'clock monday night and the winner would then face 401 00:22:20.230 --> 00:22:24.589 meridian and that would be wednesday night at seven Now, 402 00:22:24.609 --> 00:22:27.470 before that game, there will be a loser out game 403 00:22:27.589 --> 00:22:32.509 between Nooksack Valley and Linden Christian. That will be 430 404 00:22:32.509 --> 00:22:36.450 on Wednesday. And the loser is out from that one. Also, 405 00:22:36.490 --> 00:22:38.869 it's a loser out between Meridian and the winner of 406 00:22:38.910 --> 00:22:43.430 the Baker Blaine game. And so then it just goes 407 00:22:43.589 --> 00:22:48.890 right to Saturday, 6 o'clock, Blaine High School District Championship. 408 00:22:48.990 --> 00:22:51.279 The winner goes to state. The loser is out. So 409 00:22:51.299 --> 00:22:54.420 if you lose the district championship, you're out. So it's 410 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:58.059 a true single elimination tournament for 1A girls soccer this year. 411 00:22:58.619 --> 00:23:03.029 And it's basically last team standing, right? So there will 412 00:23:03.069 --> 00:23:06.309 be games Monday, Wednesday, and then the district championship Saturday. 413 00:23:06.410 --> 00:23:08.569 So there will be a doubleheader on Wednesday night at 414 00:23:08.589 --> 00:23:12.289 Blaine High School. First game at 4.30, second game at 7. 415 00:23:12.289 --> 00:23:15.509 And then the district championship game will be Saturday night 416 00:23:15.769 --> 00:23:16.890 at 6 p.m. 417 00:23:17.009 --> 00:23:22.980 So a lot of stuff going on. And, um, well, 418 00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:25.519 and the one, I'm telling you, anybody could beat anybody 419 00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:28.180 in the 1A girls because, uh, we've. 420 00:23:28.049 --> 00:23:32.589 Seen some interesting scores by different teams. And, you know, 421 00:23:32.730 --> 00:23:35.250 I don't know if playing on turf favors any of 422 00:23:35.269 --> 00:23:38.430 these teams. Blaine's used to it. Nooksack Valley, uh,

played, 423 00:23:38.490 --> 00:23:40.450 you know, later on in the season on their home 424 00:23:40.490 --> 00:23:44.180 field on turf. Um, you know, so I don't know 425 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.980 if there's an advantage either way or anything like that, but, uh, it's, yeah, 426 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.079 should be, Should be really, really good. Really excited to 427 00:23:51.150 --> 00:23:52.109 see kind of how. 428 00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:52.819 All that goes. 429 00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:55.099 And a lot, there'll be a lot to talk about 430 00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:58.240 next week on this show because all these, all these 431 00:23:58.299 --> 00:24:01.180 tournaments will have wrapped up or we'll, we'll kind of 432 00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.619 know what's happening as far as going to state goes, 433 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:09.380 you know? So yeah, that'll be pretty exciting. Well, let's 434 00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:12.619 go to, let's see here. Let's go to the. 435 00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:19.490 Stat leaders right now. Excuse me. And we'll start off 436 00:24:19.549 --> 00:24:20.450 with goals. 437 00:24:21.410 --> 00:24:24.150 And we have a three-way tie with 11 goals on 438 00:24:24.170 --> 00:24:27.450 the year. Amaya Reed of Sehome, Macy Kamenga of Mount Baker, 439 00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:30.599 and Kayla Reeves of Sehome. They've all scored 11 goals. 440 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:33.579 With 12 goals on the year, it's Addie Molendyke of 441 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.240 Linden Christian. Tied for 13 goals on the year, Sophia 442 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.069 Dion of Bellingham and Les Lane of Meridian. And we 443 00:24:41.109 --> 00:24:44.390 have a two-way tie for third place with 16 goals. 444 00:24:44.509 --> 00:24:48.170 Kaylin Hinton of Linden Christian and Addison Wilson of Squalicum. 445 00:24:48.789 --> 00:24:52.029 Mia Collins of Ferndale has 17 goals on the year. 446 00:24:52.910 --> 00:24:56.410 She is in second place, and Meridian freshman Ella Kravtsov 447 00:24:56.490 --> 00:24:59.390 still leading the way with 27 goals. I don't think 448 00:24:59.430 --> 00:25:02.099 Meridian even played a soccer game this past week, so 449 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:04.319 obviously she's still at 27. 450 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.039 Goals, but she is still leading. That brings us to 451 00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:11.220 the North County Alliance FC Player of the Week, and 452 00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:13.680 there was a few candidates here that I was looking at, 453 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:17.380 but I tell you what, Addison Bonner of Bellingham in 454 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.740 the district tournament. She has scored in each of the 455 00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:24.500 first two games. And so I'm going to go with her. 456 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.740 Bellingham is now in the district championship game. 457 00:25:27.769 --> 00:25:31.170 She's had a big hand in both wins, or I 458 00:25:31.190 --> 00:25:34.950 could say her foot and maybe not her hand. But 459 00:25:35.990 --> 00:25:39.670 a big reason why Bellingham is moving on and going 460 00:25:39.710 --> 00:25:42.430 to play for a district championship game and a spot 461 00:25:42.490 --> 00:25:46.140 in the state tournament. So congratulations, Bellingham. Jude Bellingham's Addison Bonner, 462 00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:49.160 you are the North County Alliance FC Player. 463 00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:53.519 Of the Week.

That's A-N-D-G-A-R.com. 474 00:26:35.250 --> 00:26:37.049 All right, well, let's take a look at what happened 475 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.029 during the week Again, kind of a weird week as 476 00:26:40.250 --> 00:26:44.049 the regular season was wrapping up and the 2A district 477 00:26:44.109 --> 00:26:49.369 tournament was beginning as well. So it didn't really overlap 478 00:26:49.430 --> 00:26:53.250 a ton as far as there was no Whatcom County 479 00:26:53.289 --> 00:26:56.839 teams involved in the play-in game. So we'll start off 480 00:26:56.900 --> 00:27:00.079 with Monday as Ferndale went on the road. Ferndale played 481 00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:03.039 a bunch of games this week. And I know it 482 00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:05.299 was kind of making up from what happened earlier in 483 00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.390 the season, but Ferndale They were without a handful of 484 00:27:08.450 --> 00:27:12.549 players and still got the win at Mount Vernon, winning 3-2. 485 00:27:13.849 --> 00:27:18.410 But again, that was due to some big-time players being out. 486 00:27:19.349 --> 00:27:23.210 Svetlana Baydak and her backup, Chinoa Fasani, they were both out. 487 00:27:24.190 --> 00:27:26.859 But depth has not been a problem this year for Ferndale, 488 00:27:26.990 --> 00:27:30.650 as Tao Dubé overloaded the stat sheet, 25 kills, 22 digs, 489 00:27:30.650 --> 00:27:36.019 3 aces. Um, Adele Overson had 21 kills as well 490 00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:38.779 to go with four digs and three aces. And so 491 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.289 of course, leading the way Brooklyn Larrabee was just all 492 00:27:41.329 -->

00:27:46.670 over the place, 49 assists. Um, and yeah, four aces, 493 00:27:46.670 --> 00:27:49.369 12 digs, three kills, uh, did a lot of really 494 00:27:49.410 --> 00:27:52.109 good things there. So Ferndale getting the win there. And 495 00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:56.619 then the next night, a lot of teams played, uh, boy, 496 00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:58.079 there were a lot of teams were just finishing out 497 00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.220 the regular season there in Nooksack Valley, getting the win 498 00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:04.359 over Blaine, three sets to zero, uh, Elizabeth Delang, big game. 499 00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:06.299 Kendall Juergens, Carson Olney as well. 500 00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:10.279 Bellingham coming back to beat Lake with 3-2. They were 501 00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:14.000 down by two sets to zero and got the reverse sweep, 502 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:20.599 taking the final three sets, 25-19, 25-22, and 15-11. Bellingham's 503 00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.460 comeback was aided by sophomore Estelle Oaks, who finished the 504 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:23.920 night with. 505 00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:25.759 20 kills and 20 digs. 506 00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:30.200 Yeah, very incredible night for her, as well as the 507 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.250 double-double from Sienna Okunami. and she also had a team-high 508 00:28:34.369 --> 00:28:38.269 six aces. Lyndon Christian beat Mount Baker 3-0 as the 509 00:28:38.309 --> 00:28:44.259 Lynx swept the Mountaineers at home for both teams' season finales. 510 00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:49.220 Seaholm beat Squalicum three sets to one. Squalicum took the 511 00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:53.819 first one, then Seaholm took the rest after that. Lyndon 512 00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.220 beat Burlington 3-0, convincing fashion 25-4, 25-6, and 25-8, and 513 00:28:56.259 --> 00:29:04.299 Meridian beat Overlake in a non-league contest over a fellow 514 00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.880 1A competitor there. Melanie Short led the way with 16 kills. 515 00:29:10.529 --> 00:29:14.170 And on Wednesday, Ferndale also had another game, this time 516 00:29:14.210 --> 00:29:18.369 at home, with a sweep over Cedro Woolley. And Brooklyn Larrabee, 517 00:29:18.450 --> 00:29:22.049 once again, all-around game, 31 assists, 10 digs, 5 kills, 518 00:29:22.049 --> 00:29:26.920 5 aces. Svetlana Badak returned from illness to post 13 kills, 519 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:28.259 4 digs, 4 aces. 520 00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:31.980 And Verona Melnick led the team with 12 digs as well. 521 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:39.089 And then on Thursday, Ferndale played again. So they played Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. 522 00:29:39.150 --> 00:29:39.930 This time they beat Mount. 523 00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:42.539 Baker in a crossover 1A, 3A game. 524 00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:46.180 And Mount Baker played pretty well to begin, but Ferndale 525 00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:49.160 closed the door pretty quickly, leading the charge at the 526 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.339 service line with Servir Pachu and Thea Dubé. They each 527 00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:55.400 had five aces on the night. Mount Baker was led 528 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:57.660 by Layla Porter, who had seven assists, four. 529 00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:59.259 Digs, two aces, and a block. 530 00:30:00.589 --> 00:30:04.099 And that's when the season basically came to a close. 531 00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:08.680 And then the 2A district started on Saturday as Sehome 532 00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:12.680 started out by beating Bellingham three sets to zero. Paige 533 00:30:12.740 --> 00:30:15.079 Flory not only had a double-double with 14 kills and 534 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:17.970 12 digs, but she also led from behind the service 535 00:30:18.009 --> 00:30:21.589 line with five aces. Maren Stiles, she stood out as 536 00:30:21.630 --> 00:30:24.710 well with 11 kills. And she's had kind of limited 537 00:30:25.170 --> 00:30:27.329 time in the earlier season. I know she was dealing 538 00:30:27.349 --> 00:30:31.150 with a finger injury at one point. But she really 539 00:30:31.190 --> 00:30:33.119 came on strong here. And it's something when you have 540 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:36.740 a left-handed hitter on the right side, it kind of 541 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:38.480 can throw other teams off. And she's been doing a 542 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.779 great job with cross-court kills. And, of course, the defense 543 00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:44.500 by Jackie Hurley in the backcourt and then up front 544 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:47.380 with Brooklyn Flamer has been pretty strong as well. They 545 00:30:47.420 --> 00:30:49.680 beat Bellingham three sets to zero to go to the 546 00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:54.799 semifinals of the two-way district tournament. Bellingham's season is still alive, though. 547 00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:56.579 But they.... 548 00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.059 But they will have to win themselves out. They cannot 549 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.420 lose again. Squalicum beat Anacortes 3-0, three straight sets. That 550 00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:07.619 was at home for Squalicum as Alyssa Rosselli ran the 551 00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:10.839 offense with 24 assists, while also picking up a team-high 552 00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:14.259 four aces as she frequently found Avery Kettman, who slammed 553 00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:17.599 home 12 kills. Bronwyn Jodes led the defense in the 554 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:21.440 backcourt with 17 digs, while Lola Froese added nine digs, 555 00:31:22.089 --> 00:31:25.789 and Rosselli and Abby Fife each had seven digs. The 556 00:31:25.809 --> 00:31:28.130 defense up front was led by Tiana Thompson, who had 557 00:31:28.190 --> 00:31:31.329 three blocks, and Lola Copenhaver, who finished with two blocks. 558 00:31:31.950 --> 00:31:34.059 Linden took care of Burlington Edison once again. 559 00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:36.160 That was their 41st straight win. 560 00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:40.259 Lexi Hermanutes, 10 aces on the day, as the team 561

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:44.660 had an astounding 21 aces over the three sets. Finley 562 00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:48.240 Parcher had 12 kills. Hadley Lamp, nine digs. And Mia 563 00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:52.059 Burke added seven kills with an 875 hitting percentage, while 564 00:31:52.140 --> 00:31:55.839 Izzy Stephan handed out 24 assists. So let's take a 565 00:31:55.900 --> 00:31:58.740 look here as the 2A. We'll talk 2A here first 566 00:31:58.779 --> 00:32:02.640 because they're already underway, like I said. And in the semi, 567 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:04.579 now the rest of them going forward, these are all 568 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:06.579 going to be played at Meridian High School. And there's 569 00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:11.980 going to be games on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. 570 00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.880 So it's basically just set up camp at Meridian High 571 00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:16.269 School all week. 572 00:32:16.789 --> 00:32:19.849 And for some really good volleyballs, 1A and 2A will 573 00:32:19.869 --> 00:32:24.250 both be taking place there. And right off the bat, 574 00:32:24.309 --> 00:32:26.589 Monday night, I mean, you've got a big time matchup here, 575 00:32:26.609 --> 00:32:29.509 a couple of top 10 teams in the state, Archbishop 576 00:32:29.569 --> 00:32:32.750 Murphy and Sehome. They're going to be battling for a 577 00:32:32.789 --> 00:32:35.470 chance to play in the district championship game. That will 578 00:32:35.509 --> 00:32:39.980 be at 530 Monday night. And then following that up 579 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:43.319 after that will be the other semifinal game, Squalicum at, 580 00:32:43.660 --> 00:32:46.380 or I should say against Linden. Of course, Linden heavily 581 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:49.099 favored here, but Squalicum having their best record that they've 582 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.599 had in years. So this is a couple of really good, 583 00:32:52.369 --> 00:32:55.329 semi-final games that are going to be coming up here 584 00:32:55.609 --> 00:32:57.349 those this will be that'll be a double header at 585 00:32:57.369 --> 00:32:59.990 meridian high school and also in the other gym at 586 00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:02.920 meridian high school at 5 30 bellingham trying to keep 587 00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:05.660 their season alive as they'll be taking on the lakewood 588 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:09.259 cougars that'll be at 5 30 on monday night so 589 00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.569 come out root on bellingham to hopefully they can survive 590 00:33:12.650 --> 00:33:17.720 to play another day and the the district championship game 591 00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:20.640 that will that will take place on wednesday night at 592 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:24.160 7 30 at the main court that'll be a fantastic 593 00:33:24.220 --> 00:33:26.319 one where the winner goes to state the loser still 594 00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:28.420 has a chance to go to state but that will 595 00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:32.029 have to take place later on in the tournament other 596 00:33:32.069 --> 00:33:34.509 games that are going to be happening at meridian high 597 00:33:34.569 --> 00:33:39.190 school we got some uh yeah we got consolation games 598 00:33:39.210 --> 00:33:41.210 they're going to happen again like losers will go to 599 00:33:41.230 --> 00:33:43.410 the consolation round and just play the rest of the 600 00:33:43.450 --> 00:33:45.990 week so only two teams will be able to get 601 00:33:46.049 --> 00:33:47.710 out of this, the team, or to go to go 602 00:33:47.730 --> 00:33:48.009 to state. 603 00:33:48.029 --> 00:33:49.349 I mean, the team that wins the. 604 00:33:49.309 --> 00:33:54.019 District tournament, and then they'll just keep playing until there's 605 00:33:54.130 --> 00:33:57.079 one team left standing in the consolation round. And that 606 00:33:57.180 --> 00:34:00.799 final game will be played on Saturday at two o'clock 607 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:04.220 in the main gym at Meridian high school. And, um, 608 00:34:04.859 --> 00:34:06.829 we'll just have to wait and see who that will be. 609 00:34:06.869 --> 00:34:09.650 It'll basically, it'll be the loser from the district championship 610 00:34:09.670 --> 00:34:12.389 game against the team that wins their way all the 611 00:34:12.409 --> 00:34:17.269 way through the consolation bracket. So, Um, yeah, it's, uh, 612 00:34:17.389 --> 00:34:19.659 I mean, you know, you look at it and you go, okay, 613 00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.900 Linden is heavily favored. Archbishop's heavily favored. See them in 614 00:34:22.940 --> 00:34:26.539 squalicum are right there. Those are four teams just deserving 615 00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:28.539 to go to the state tournament. Only two get to 616 00:34:28.579 --> 00:34:33.500 go in. So, um, it's going to be pretty intense. Uh, 617 00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:36.760 also what will be intense will be the one, a tournament, uh, 618 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.739 And this will kick off on Tuesday night as Blaine 619 00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:41.880 and Nooksack. 620 00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:44.460 Valley at 4 o'clock. This, again, was all at Meridian 621 00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:44.880 High School. 622 00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:48.260 Tuesday night, Blaine and Nooksack Valley will play a loser-out 623 00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:52.019 game at 4 o'clock. The winner of that will turn 624 00:34:52.059 --> 00:34:54.739 around and play a couple hours later. So there will 625 00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.280 be a double– actually, there's going to be a triple header, 626 00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.039 now that I look at it, at Meridian High School 627 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:04.360 Tuesday night, starting with Blaine and Nooksack Valley. The next– and, again, 628 00:35:04.429 --> 00:35:08.650 that's a loser-out. The next game is– basically the district 629 00:35:08.690 --> 00:35:12.469 championship game. It's Meridian versus Linden Christian. Now the winner 630 00:35:12.510 --> 00:35:15.469 of that will play in

a crossover game this weekend 631 00:35:15.510 --> 00:35:19.780 with district two to get to state. So, but if 632 00:35:19.820 --> 00:35:23.940 you lose it, then you will play a few nights later. 633 00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:27.579 You will play on Thursday night at seven o'clock for 634 00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.800 a chance to also go to the district to crossover 635 00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:33.719 Mount Baker. They are the three seats. So they're going 636 00:35:33.739 --> 00:35:36.619 to be awaiting the winner of Blaine and Nooksack Valley 637 00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:40.119 and they will face that winner at 8 o'clock on 638 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:41.760 Tuesday night. So it's going to be a late night 639 00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.599 out at Meridian High School. And Mount Baker with a 640 00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:47.630 strong advantage here because, well, it's hard to say because 641 00:35:48.269 --> 00:35:50.130 they're going to play the winner of a game that 642 00:35:50.170 --> 00:35:51.670 will have been done. 643 00:35:51.510 --> 00:35:52.489 For a couple of hours. 644 00:35:53.210 --> 00:35:54.969 So you kind of look at that and go, well, 645 00:35:54.989 --> 00:35:57.250 does that give Mount Baker the advantage because they're going 646 00:35:57.269 --> 00:36:00.110 to have fresh legs, they'll be ready to go, or 647 00:36:00.130 --> 00:36:02.420 the other team will already be warmed up, right, and 648 00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:04.480 already have a win and feel some momentum. So it'll 649 00:36:04.500 --> 00:36:06.719 be really interesting to see How that game goes at 650 00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:10.579 8 o'clock on Tuesday night out at Meridian High School. Man, 651 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:15.050 a lot of stuff going on. It's playoff time, so 652 00:36:15.090 --> 00:36:18.429 that's kind of how it goes. Again, the loser of 653 00:36:18.489 --> 00:36:21.769 Meridian Linden Christian will then face the winner of Mount 654 00:36:21.809 --> 00:36:25.059 Baker's game against the winner of the Blaine Nooksack game, 655 00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:28.619 if that makes sense. So, yeah, a lot of action 656 00:36:28.659 --> 00:36:32.260 going on there. And as far as the 3A tournament goes, 657 00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.920 the seeding still has not showed. I just keep refreshing it. 658 00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:42.260 But the play-in games start on Thursday. So there's still 659 00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:45.429 a lot of teams that have to maybe finish up 660 00:36:45.469 --> 00:36:49.530 their seasons from down south. But Ferndale should be one 661 00:36:49.550 --> 00:36:52.590 of the top four seeds, which means they won't play 662 00:36:52.630 --> 00:36:54.909 until the following week. Again, they're kind of a week 663 00:36:54.969 --> 00:36:57.429 behind Ferndale. they'll be at, you know, they go, they 664 00:36:57.449 --> 00:37:01.170 have their state tournament a week later, everything's a week later. So, um, 665 00:37:01.329 --> 00:37:05.329 Ferndale will likely host a game on the next Tuesday, 666 00:37:05.389 --> 00:37:09.210 the 10th. So it's very likely that Ferndale will be playing, 667 00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:12.429 won't be playing volleyball for over a week. Um, maybe 668 00:37:12.449 --> 00:37:15.280 that explains why they had so many games last week, but, um, 669 00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:17.820 and hopefully they'll, you know, if there are still a 670 00:37:17.900 --> 00:37:19.980 sickness throughout the team, they can all get healthy and, 671 00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:23.420 and they can go from there. But, So that's why 672 00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:28.119 the 3A tournament hasn't really been seeded yet or anything. 673 00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.599 They're kind of a week later than everybody else. So 674 00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:34.079 we'll have to wait and see how that goes. Let's 675 00:37:34.179 --> 00:37:38.159 take a look at the stat leaders now. And, of course, 676 00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:41.880 the stat leaders are brought to you by Apex Northwest Volleyball. 677 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:47.110 Apex Northwest Volleyball Club utilizes competitive volleyball to develop stronger athletes, 678 00:37:47.429 --> 00:37:51.769 nurture well-rounded individuals, and and provide resources to pursue volleyball 679 00:37:51.829 --> 00:37:58.219 at the next level.

And again, these are a lot 682 00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:03.199 of the same names that we're used to seeing.

In digs per set, Bailey Burge of 685 00:38:11.210 --> 00:38:12.510 Bellingham still on top. 686 00:38:12.550 --> 00:38:15.510 She is just over five digs per set. 687 00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:21.250 And Jackie Hurley, Bronwyn Jones, Lila Pereira, and Caitlin Phelps-McDonald 688 00:38:21.869 --> 00:38:26.230 are the next four there.

Over Elizabeth Delang, Brooklyn Flamer 697 00:39:01.449 --> 00:39:07.579 of Seaholm, Livia Weta of Blaine, and
