00:04:35.209 Sloane Clines of Sehome, and fourth, Lil Desler of Sehome, 67 00:04:35.670 --> 00:04:37.850 finished one, two, three, four. And then how about Sandra 68 00:04:37.910 --> 00:04:42.860 Voigt of Squalicum, finishing fifth, Audrey Blue of Squalicum, 11th. 69 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.319 So you got one, two, three, four, five, six of 70 00:04:46.339 --> 00:04:51.079 the top 11 from the Bellingham school districts. Bellingham's Nora Alexander, 14th, 71 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:54.959 and in 16th, it's Jewel Bringleson of Sehome, 18th was 72 00:04:55.019 --> 00:04:58.740 Nora Seltz of Bellingham, 20th, Elise Holland of Bellingham, 25th, 73 00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:04.709 Malia Frizzle of Bellingham, 27th, Grace Walls of Bellingham, 29th, 74 00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:09.740 Anya Cannizzaro of Sehome, 33rd, Leah Wagner of Bellingham, 39, 75 00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:14.480 Paige Ricks of Sehome, and 48th was Avery Ostlund of Bellingham. Again, 76 00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:18.579 Sehome finishes first. How about the Bellingham Bayhawks finishing second 77 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.399 place in state? So big one-two there by the Bellingham 78 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:27.009 school district schools. And then also, Squalicum doing a great 79 00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:31.209 job individually with those two runners there. On the 2A 80 00:05:31.410 --> 00:05:36.569 boys' side, Bellingham took third in state, one point better 81 00:05:36.610 --> 00:05:40.870 than Sehome, who took fourth. And in the individual times, 82 00:05:40.970 --> 00:05:43.670 Luke Scouten of Linden, how about him? He took third 83 00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:47.569 place in state. Judson Barrett of Sehome took eighth. Taylor 84 00:05:47.629 --> 00:05:52.129 Rush of Squalicum, 14th. Braxton Stacey of Linden, 15th. Luca 85 00:05:52.170 --> 00:05:56.759 Burley of Squalicum, 23rd. Tarver May of Bellingham, 26th. Luke 86 00:05:56.819 --> 00:06:01.019 Zollner of Seaholm, 28th. Benjamin Havens of Seaholm, 29th. And 87 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.310 this is what I thought was pretty interesting here. Parker Osk, 88 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.069 Jack Stoddard, and Quindry Pass, all of Bellingham, finished 33rd, 34th, 89 00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:12.370 and 35th. They all finished at pretty much the same 90 00:06:12.449 --> 00:06:15.990 time and probably pushing each other. And I think that's 91 00:06:16.050 --> 00:06:19.829 what helped them get that spot over Seaholm by one point, 92 00:06:19.889 --> 00:06:22.470 those three finishing right there. So pretty cool for them 93 00:06:22.509 --> 00:06:24.870 to push each other there. Parker Mason of Squalicum, 48th. 94 00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:29.459 Owen Mumley of Sehome 50th, Mason Maughan of Bellingham 53rd, 95 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.680 Jack Rybzyk of Sehome 68th, Abel Ray of Bellingham 76th, 96 00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:39.269 Jonah Burdick of Sehome 88th place, Aiden Bott of Sehome 99th, 97 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.459 and Alden Melanson of Bellingham 121st. Again, Whatcom County, tremendous 98 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:49.750 showing here. Meridian Girls State Champions, Sehome Girls State Champions, 99 00:06:50.170 --> 00:06:54.579 Meridian Boys 2nd place, Bellingham Girls 2nd place. Bellingham boys, 100 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.620 third and see home boys fourth. And, um, you know, 101 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.350 I've said it over and over again, the best runners 102 00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:04.750 are up here. And I really, truly believe it's, I 103 00:07:04.910 --> 00:07:08.149 I've talked about this before. People ask why all the 104 00:07:08.230 --> 00:07:11.089 best runners are up here. I truly believe it has 105 00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.819 to do with being a college town with a lot 106 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:17.199 of trails. What I mean is, you know, people come 107 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.930 up here to go to Western and And if you 108 00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:23.170 are into running, there's lots of places to run. You 109 00:07:23.209 --> 00:07:27.149 meet other runners and you have similar interests. You fall 110 00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:30.209 in love, have kids, and they're amazing runners. And I 111 00:07:31.189 --> 00:07:35.100 truly believe that's why we have so many great cross-country 112 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.660 runners in Whatcom County. And it's been a joy to 113 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.420 cover over the past handful of years. The Stopper Insurance 114 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.120 Runner of the Week, I got to go with Kirsten 115 00:07:46.189 --> 00:07:52.120 Ludeman of Sehome.com. winning her first state championship. At least 116 00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:54.019 I believe it's her first. My goodness, I should probably 117 00:07:54.050 --> 00:07:55.709 check that. She could have won it as a freshman 118 00:07:55.750 --> 00:07:59.069 for all I know, but she's just a junior and 119 00:08:00.209 --> 00:08:03.949 finishing 12 seconds ahead of her teammate, Samantha Knipp, but 120 00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:07.769 an unbelievable performance by Kirsten Ludeman of Sehome. She is 121 00:08:07.790 --> 00:08:12.649 the Stauffer Insurance Runner of the Week. Let's move on 122 00:08:12.689 --> 00:08:15.300 to girls swimming and diving, which is brought to you 123 00:08:15.310 --> 00:08:20.680 by Fairhaven College at Western Washington University. Their commitment to transformative, creative, 124 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.379 inquiry-based learning empowers students to pursue social, economic, and environmental justice. 125 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:32.860 It's the Fairhaven difference. Go to fairhaven.wwu.edu to find out 126 00:08:32.940 --> 00:08:35.779 how you can maybe apply and go there once you 127 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.110 get done with high school. So let's take a look. 128 00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:42.009 We had the district meet over the weekend down in Anacortes, 129 00:08:42.070 --> 00:08:46.029 and lots of Whatcom County swimmers and divers qualified for 130 00:08:46.190 -->

00:08:51.320 this upcoming week's event. or weekends, I should say, state meet. 131 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.159 And so we're going to go over kind of who 132 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.759 qualified here. And it's crazy because I look at the 133 00:08:56.820 --> 00:09:00.259 psych sheet for 2A state, and, boy, you look at 134 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.000 it and go, well, congratulations, Bainbridge, you're winning the state title, 135 00:09:04.299 --> 00:09:07.789 just based on all the times and names that they 136 00:09:07.850 --> 00:09:12.090 have here. So what, do they live on an island 137 00:09:12.129 --> 00:09:16.450 or something? They do a lot of swimming. It's pretty unbelievable. 138 00:09:16.490 --> 00:09:19.750 They really do, and they've been a powerhouse for years. 139 00:09:21.409 --> 00:09:23.600 But we do have some good swimmers heading down there. 140 00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:28.200 We're going to start with the 200-yard medley relay, and 141 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:32.419 we have Bellingham. The Bellingham team is the eighth seed, 142 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.649 if you will, Squalicum 10th, Seaholm 12th. So we've got 143 00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:43.360 some good swimmers there. I believe... Boy, I could be 144 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.620 wrong here, but I believe it's the top eight get points. 145 00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:48.080 So you have to finish in the top eight in 146 00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:50.840 any of the categories to get points. I believe that's correct. 147 00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:55.769 It might be different for relays. I'm not quite sure, 148 00:09:55.909 --> 00:09:58.610 but we definitely have some teams there that could get 149 00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:02.399 some points in the 200. freestyle, Elsa Ethelbaugh is the 150 00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:07.519 seventh ranked swimmer going into this. She's the lone Whatcom 151 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.590 County participant in that event. In the 200 yard individual medley, 152 00:10:12.110 --> 00:10:16.549 Jordan Ebeling and Carmody Beattie of Bellingham, both sophomores, they're 153 00:10:16.610 --> 00:10:19.639 12th and 13th going into this. So They're going to 154 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.409 have to do their best to try to get into 155 00:10:22.429 --> 00:10:27.269 the finals there. And next up is the 50-yard freestyle, 156 00:10:27.370 --> 00:10:30.929 Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham, the junior. She has the fifth 157 00:10:31.029 --> 00:10:35.559 best time in the state going into this. Raha Gare 158 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.299 of Sehome has the 10th best. Soleil Rubido of Squalicum, 159 00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:42.440 the 13th best. We also have Madeline Honkoop and Claire 160 00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:48.960 Fleming-Butella from Linden that will be participating in well. as well. 161 00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:51.840 And it's, um, a lot of really good times here. 162 00:10:52.970 --> 00:10:55.389 Next up is diving. And I, this is where Whatcom 163 00:10:55.429 --> 00:10:57.129 County is going to pick up some points here. I 164 00:10:57.190 --> 00:11:00.710 believe Fiona Runnels, the top ranked diver in the state. 165 00:11:01.190 --> 00:11:05.870 She's from Sehome. Her teammate, her teammate, um, Effie Taminga 166 00:11:05.970 --> 00:11:08.789 is third ranked. So they are right there. Comerdy Beattie 167 00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:12.960 and Amanda Buck, both sophomores from Bellingham are ranked fifth 168 00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:16.129 and sixth. So, That's where they're going to be able 169 00:11:16.149 --> 00:11:18.830 to pick up some pretty good points. Possible state champion 170 00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:21.899 as well coming out of the diving. I mean, anything's 171 00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:25.440 possible for any of these events, but that's the highest likelihood. 172 00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:28.940 We'll just put it that way. In the 100-yard butterfly, 173 00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:32.490 Jazzy Nelson, sophomore from Squalicum. She's ranked sixth in the 174 00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:38.149 state as she will be competing in that one, seeing 175 00:11:38.309 --> 00:11:40.450 if she can get some points there for the Storms. 176 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:45.169 In the 100-yard freestyle, Jasmine Garcia of Bellingham is the 177 00:11:45.269 --> 00:11:49.350 fifth-ranked swimmer in the state, and Claire Fleming-Butella is ranked 15th, 178 00:11:49.970 --> 00:11:51.870 and she'll try to get under a minute for the 179 00:11:51.909 --> 00:11:55.549 first time in that event. In the 500-yard freestyle, the 180 00:11:55.590 --> 00:11:59.750 long-distance one, Elsa Epilbov-Seelm, she's ranked seventh in the state. 181 00:12:00.210 --> 00:12:03.889 Jordan Ebeling is ranked 11th. She's from Bellingham. We'll see 182 00:12:03.909 --> 00:12:08.860 how those two swimmers do. Boy, there's a freshman Bainbridge 183 00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:13.980 swimmer that Fiona Livingston, her best time is just over 184 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.879 five minutes. That is incredible. She's 18 seconds faster than 185 00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:22.039 the next swimmer. Boy, I tell you what, Bainbridge, man, 186 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:27.919 it's crazy. 200-yard freestyle relay team. Sehome has the fourth 187 00:12:27.990 --> 00:12:31.370 best time. Bellingham has the fifth best time. Squalicum, 12th. 188 00:12:32.590 --> 00:12:36.360 You might have some pretty good job there getting some points. 189 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.820 Linden has the 13th best time. So a lot of 190 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.980 Whatcom County schools that could be in play there. In 191 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.440 the 100-yard backstroke, Amanda Buck of Bellingham is ranked 19th. 192 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.879 And in the 100-yard breaststroke, Soleil Rubido of Squalicum is 193 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.500 ranked 5th. Raha Gare of Sehome is ranked 6th. Jazzy 194 00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:58.820 Nelson of Squalicum is ranked 13th. So another good chance 195 00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:02.710 there to

pick up some points. And in the 400 196 00:13:02.710 --> 00:13:06.950 yard freestyle relay, see home as the 12th ranked team, 197 00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:10.250 Linden 16th ranked. So we'll see how they do in 198 00:13:10.289 --> 00:13:14.929 that one. And then in the adaptive races, the 50 199 00:13:14.929 --> 00:13:18.889 yard freestyle, Sarah Carollo is ranked second in the state 200 00:13:18.970 --> 00:13:22.379 and she's ranked first in the 500 yard backstroke for 201 00:13:22.409 --> 00:13:25.639 the 50 yard backstroke adaptive races. So hopefully Sarah of 202 00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.529 see home, um, she can, if she comes back with 203 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.480 a state state title, that would be awesome. She's just 204 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:37.460 barely ahead of Jackson Balby of, um, I don't know 205 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.559 if that's Hudson Bay. I'm not quite sure what school 206 00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:43.720 that is. It just says H Bay. Um, so I, 207 00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:46.700 you know, that'd be awesome if she could bring back, uh, 208 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.200 a championship there. So good luck to all the swippers 209 00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:54.279 this upcoming weekend. And, and, uh, I'll be, uh, posting 210 00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:57.389 about all the times and places and, all that stuff 211 00:13:57.549 --> 00:14:02.090 once that swim meet is finalized.

I mean, soccer and 224 00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:48.100 volleyball was just loaded this week with district play, um, 225 00:14:48.470 --> 00:14:50.850 So we're going to kind of go in chronological order. 226 00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:54.360 We'll start off on Monday night in the 1A district tournament. 227 00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:58.179 The first match was Blaine beating Mount Baker 2-1. That 228 00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:01.879 went to penalty kicks where Blaine won 3-2 after splitting 229 00:15:01.899 --> 00:15:07.899 the regular season matchups. They did battle there, and Blaine 230 00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:13.940 came out on top as Blaine's sophomore, Ruby Bellarmino, knocked 231 00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:16.559 in her shot to give Blaine the one-goal lead. It 232 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.379 all came down to one final kip. one final kick. 233 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.070 And that's when senior goalkeeper Marcella bring made the diving save. 234 00:15:24.509 --> 00:15:26.850 It kept the border at season alive as they went 235 00:15:27.009 --> 00:15:29.870 on to the next round. Mount Baker season came to 236 00:15:29.909 --> 00:15:32.929 an end at five and 10. The following day, we 237 00:15:32.970 --> 00:15:36.230 had some three and two, a district tournament matches going 238 00:15:36.309 --> 00:15:40.129 on Ferndale beating Monroe four to zero, um, with the 239 00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:44.230 season on the line and, and, um, Yeah, some really 240 00:15:44.269 --> 00:15:48.129 good soccer being played by Golden Eagles there. Mia Collins 241 00:15:48.190 --> 00:15:50.370 sent a rocket shot to the goal, which was blocked 242 00:15:50.409 --> 00:15:53.120 by the Monroe keeper, and then punched in by Kendall 243 00:15:53.149 --> 00:15:57.519 Coleman to make it 1-0. Hannah Wynn then scored on 244 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.519 an assist by Liv Luna about halfway through the second half, 245 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.440 and then in the final minutes, Audrey Callen kicked a 246 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.730 free kick from deep, which was stopped by the keeper, 247 00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:08.509 but then put in by Lila Spencer from Crow's Range, 248 00:16:09.009 --> 00:16:12.779 and Wynn then found Sarah Stoner for a goal in 249 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:18.159 the closing seconds as Ferndale advanced to take on Snohomish. Anacortes, 250 00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:22.789 they eliminated Squalicum. Squalicum's lone goal came on a penalty 251 00:16:22.830 --> 00:16:27.090 kick from Aria Sabado as Squalicum's season came to an 252 00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:32.629 end with a 9-6-4 record. And then on Wednesday, more 253 00:16:32.690 --> 00:16:36.610 1A soccer that took place. In elimination games again, Lyndon 254 00:16:36.649 --> 00:16:39.889 Christian beating Nooksack Valley 1-0 in a very physical game. 255 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.779 The lone goal came from Lexi Yoon from the Lynx. 256 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.240 And then later on that night, Meridian beat Blaine 3-1 257 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.830 as Les Lane had a hat trick there. Ella Kravtsov 258 00:16:53.429 --> 00:16:57.210 had two of the assists. Borderites' lone goal came by 259 00:16:57.309 --> 00:16:59.750 Kate Koresky as Blaine's season came to an end at 5-10-2. 260 00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:06.480 Nooksack Valley's season came to an end at 7-8-2. And 261 00:17:06.539 --> 00:17:09.680 then on Thursday, we had the district championship out at 262 00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:14.880 Civic Stadium

in 2A, and it was Seaholm beating unbeaten 263 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.480 Bellingham 2-1. Bayhawks got on the board first when Stella 264 00:17:19.589 --> 00:17:22.750 Eltrich found Jane Goldsberry for a goal, but a corner 265 00:17:22.769 --> 00:17:25.609 kick by Seaholm's Amaya Reed snuck into the goal just 266 00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:29.309 before halftime to tie the game at 1-1. The two 267 00:17:29.369 --> 00:17:31.730 city rivals battled it out in the second half, and 268 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.079 Mariner senior Vivian Moss launched a shot just over the 269 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.019 keeper's head and into the back of the net to 270 00:17:38.059 --> 00:17:41.619 give Sehome the lead. It appeared that Bellingham tied the 271 00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:44.619 game late, but just seconds before, the whistle blew as 272 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:47.700 the ball had just rolled out of bounds. Sehome held 273 00:17:47.819 --> 00:17:51.059 on for the win to capture its fourth straight two-way 274 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.759 district championship. It was the first loss of the season 275 00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:56.119 for the Bayhawks, who had to go into the consolation 276 00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:59.380 round and try to win their way into state. Also, 277 00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:02.119 on Thursday night, Ferndale, they were unable to get on 278 00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:05.720 the scoreboard against Snohomish as they lost 3-0, but they 279 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:09.539 were still alive because of making it that deep into 280 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.619 the tournament. And then on Saturday, we had lots of 281 00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:15.680 stuff going on, winner to state, loser go home type stuff. 282 00:18:16.019 --> 00:18:19.809 In the 1A District Tournament Championship game, Lyndon Christian beat 283 00:18:19.829 --> 00:18:25.009 Meridian 2-0. Heavy rains, heavy wind, it was crazy. Kaylin 284 00:18:25.029 --> 00:18:28.109 Hinton scored a goal and assisted on a goal to 285 00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:31.700 lead the Lynx. to the win, and they will go 286 00:18:31.849 --> 00:18:34.430 to the state tournament. Meridian season comes to an end 287 00:18:34.549 --> 00:18:38.730 at 12-6-1. Bellingham, after getting beat by Seahawks in the 288 00:18:38.769 --> 00:18:42.069 championship game, they had to play Anacortes on Saturday at 289 00:18:42.130 --> 00:18:44.369 Civic Stadium, and it just did not go their way. 290 00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:48.690 The Seahawks won 1-0. Bellingham not going to the state 291 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:55.019 tournament with a record of 16-2-2. Pretty incredible there. Ferndale, 292 00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:00.029 they win 2-0, beating Edmonds-Woodway. This came exactly one week 293 00:19:00.190 --> 00:19:02.990 after playing them at home and losing that one, so 294 00:19:03.029 --> 00:19:06.730 they avenged the loss. This was a winner-to-state, loser-go-home game, 295 00:19:07.349 --> 00:19:09.529 and the Golden Eagles defeated the Warriors to get back 296 00:19:09.569 --> 00:19:12.349 to the 3A state tournament for the first time in 297 00:19:12.450 --> 00:19:15.599 three years. Hannah Wynn scored a goal and had an 298 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:19.680 assist to lead Ferndale to the victory. Kendall Coleman also scored, 299 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.930 and Liv Luna assisted on Wynn's goal. So let's take 300 00:19:23.970 --> 00:19:29.039 a look at the statistics now, the stat leaders on 301 00:19:29.059 --> 00:19:32.380 the season. We're going to go with goals. Kayla Reeves 302 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.099 of Seaholm, 10th place with 11 goals. We have a 303 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.940 three-way tie here with 12 goals. In 7th place, Amaya 304 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.450 Reed of Seaholm, Macy Kamenga of Mount Baker, Addie Molendyke 305 00:19:42.490 --> 00:19:46.069 of Linden Christian. Sophia Dionne of Bellingham led her team 306 00:19:46.089 --> 00:19:49.329 with 13 goals. She probably led her team in assists 307 00:19:49.390 --> 00:19:52.970 as well. With 16 goals in the year, Les Lane 308 00:19:52.990 --> 00:19:58.130 of Meridian, Addie Wilson of Squalicum with 17 goals. Kaylin 309 00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:00.710 Hinton of Linden Christian and Mia Collins of Ferndale each 310 00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:05.160 had 17 goals. And Ella Kravtsov ends her season of 311 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:10.220 Meridian with 27 goals on the year. And the assist leaders, 312 00:20:11.069 --> 00:20:15.450 three-way tie with seven assists each. Meridian's Mila Kravtsov. I'm sorry, 313 00:20:15.490 --> 00:20:20.349 four-way tie. Meridian's Mila Kravtsov, Siri Hogan of Squalicum, Kylie 314 00:20:20.390 --> 00:20:24.089 McPhee of Linden, and Sophie Koch of Bellingham all finished 315 00:20:24.130 --> 00:20:27.119 with seven assists. And then with eight assists on the year, 316 00:20:27.210 --> 00:20:30.740 tied for third place, Ella Kravtsov of Meridian, Les Lane 317 00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:35.519 of Meridian, Amaya Reid of Sehome, Rylan Rockefeller of Squalicum, 318 00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.769 and Liv Luna of Ferndale. And then a two-way tie 319 00:20:38.829 --> 00:20:42.619 for 11 assists leading the counties so far this year. 320 00:20:42.950 --> 00:20:44.960 Two players that will be playing in the state tournament, 321 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.079 Lexi Yoon of Linden Christian and Vivian Moss of Sehome. 322 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.200 Let's take a look at the state tournaments here. In 1A, 323 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.420 Linden Christian drew the eighth seed, which means they do 324 00:20:57.460 --> 00:21:01.529 get to play a quote-unquote home game. This will be 325 00:21:01.609 --> 00:21:06.529 played on Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Nooksack Valley High School. 326 00:21:06.589 --> 00:21:10.130 So on the new turf there, look for that out 327 00:21:10.170 --> 00:21:12.730 at Nooksack Valley. 4 p.m. game Wednesday. They will be 328 00:21:12.769 --> 00:21:18.680 hosting Natchez Valley. Natchez

Valley on the season. Let's take 329 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:25.140 a look here. They are 17-3-1. Ay-yi-yi. Once you get 330 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:28.390 to the state tournament, they're all good, right? So... Yeah, 331 00:21:28.450 --> 00:21:30.769 it's going to be a tough one, but they have 332 00:21:30.789 --> 00:21:33.869 to do the traveling. That's what's great about being the 333 00:21:33.950 --> 00:21:35.630 eighth seed is you get to be at home. But 334 00:21:35.690 --> 00:21:38.250 if you pick up the win, you will likely be 335 00:21:38.269 --> 00:21:41.849 going against the top-seeded team, which is university prep. So 336 00:21:42.349 --> 00:21:45.859 that's the tough part, right? But the Lynx, they have 337 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.220 made it to the state tournament, and they will be, quote-unquote, 338 00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:54.119 hosting Natchez Valley. That'll be Wednesday at 4 p.m. at 339 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:59.599 Nooksack Valley High School. On the 2A state tournament, Sehome, 340 00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.420 they drew the sixth seed. So that means they get 341 00:22:02.460 --> 00:22:06.019 to host Ellensburg. This will be at Civic Stadium. And 342 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:11.180 this will be Tuesday night, 5 p.m. at Civic Stadium. 343 00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:14.480 And let's check out Ellensburg and see what we need 344 00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:17.230 to know about them. They are 11-4 on the year. 345 00:22:18.029 --> 00:22:23.509 They actually lost three out of their first five games. 346 00:22:24.369 --> 00:22:25.910 Then went on a bit of a winning streak yesterday. 347 00:22:26.309 --> 00:22:29.309 before losing the East Valley of Yakima, probably in their 348 00:22:29.390 --> 00:22:34.869 district tournament. So they had a little win streak there. Ellensburg, 349 00:22:34.930 --> 00:22:39.420 pretty darn good, looks like. But the Mariners on a 350 00:22:39.450 --> 00:22:41.660 hot streak right now. They've won a bunch in a row, 351 00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.759 and they will be hosting Ellensburg. Again, that will be 352 00:22:44.900 --> 00:22:52.420 Tuesday at 5 o'clock at Civic Stadium. So good luck 353 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.609 to them. That's going to be That's going to be 354 00:22:54.650 --> 00:22:58.829 a great, great match. And Mariners have done well here 355 00:22:58.849 --> 00:23:02.930 in the state tournament as of late. And just got 356 00:23:02.950 --> 00:23:05.470 to get to that final four there, which would be fantastic. 357 00:23:05.650 --> 00:23:10.569 And in 3A, Ferndale, they'll be hosting Shorewood. That will 358 00:23:10.609 --> 00:23:15.549 be also on Wednesday at 5 o'clock at Ferndale High School. 359 00:23:15.589 --> 00:23:18.210 If you lose your out, the winner gets to move 360 00:23:18.269 --> 00:23:23.789 on to take on third-ranked Mercer Island. And that game 361 00:23:23.809 --> 00:23:27.430 would be played Friday at Mercer Island High School at 362 00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:30.990 5 o'clock.

So Ferndale has to play an extra round 363 00:23:31.170 --> 00:23:35.119 to get into basically the– they have to play an 364 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.079 opening round game to get to the first round. But 365 00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:40.019 if they could pick up a win against Shorewood, then 366 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.920 they would be– they would keep their 14 seed and 367 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.980 move on to Mercer Island and try to play– try 368 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.420 to win that game and go forward. So we've seen 369 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:53.910 some crazy things in soccer. especially last year in the boys, 370 00:23:54.390 --> 00:23:56.170 you know, I think Meridian was like the 10th seed 371 00:23:56.210 --> 00:23:58.029 or something, get all the way to the state championship. 372 00:23:58.089 --> 00:24:02.019 So you just never know and weather and, you know, 373 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.039 all that stuff, how it plays or plays a role, 374 00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.660 but at least, Hey, at least Ferndale, see home and 375 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:10.380 Lennon Christian all will be playing in Whatcom County, basically 376 00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.880 home games for their opening round state playoff games. So, 377 00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:18.539 so that'll be awesome. Go out and support those, those players. Well, 378 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:21.809 let's check out the North County Alliance FC player of 379 00:24:21.869 --> 00:24:24.579 the week. And I kind of looked at a lot 380 00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.940 of different things. I thought Hannah Wynn had an awesome 381 00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:30.640 week helping her team get to the state playoffs. But 382 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.299 the goal that I saw by Vivian Moss, maybe it 383 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:35.680 was just because I was there live. That was something 384 00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.009 to see. I'm giving this one to Vivian Moss of Sehome, 385 00:24:39.029 --> 00:24:42.869 the senior. She is your North County Alliance FC player 386 00:24:43.009 --> 00:24:46.069 of the week. It was basically the game-winning goal against 387 00:24:46.089 --> 00:24:50.970 the previously unbeaten Bellingham for the district championship. And you 388 00:24:50.990 --> 00:24:54.180 kind of put all those things together, and it's– That's 389 00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:57.829 a heck of a job by Vivian Moss. Let's move 390 00:24:58.049 --> 00:25:01.009 on to volleyball now, where the daily recaps are brought 391 00:25:01.029 --> 00:25:03.690 to you by the Print House Design and Ink.

Give them a call at 360-686-9900 or go 399 00:25:33.710 --> 00:25:38.160 online at andgar.com. So let's take a look at all 400 00:25:38.220 --> 00:25:41.960 the stuff that took place over the week. And there 401 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.700 was a lot of volleyball boy. I went to Meridian 402 00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:49.170 high school four days in a row, five days out 403 00:25:49.210 --> 00:25:53.279 of six in a row. Um, it was, uh, My car, 404 00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:55.140 I didn't even have to drive. It just knew where 405 00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:58.509 to go, basically. And just going to Meridian over and 406 00:25:58.529 --> 00:26:01.910 over again as the 2A and 1A district playoffs took 407 00:26:02.009 --> 00:26:06.069 place there. And no 3A action all week for Ferndale. 408 00:26:06.109 --> 00:26:09.609 I actually saw their top player, Brooklyn Larrabee, at the 409 00:26:09.670 --> 00:26:12.289 tournament twice during the week. So at least she's taken 410 00:26:12.329 --> 00:26:17.170 in some volleyball, which was cool to see. But on Monday... 411 00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.519 There was a lot of 2A volleyball that took place. 412 00:26:21.660 --> 00:26:26.809 Linden beating Squalicum 3-0 in the semifinal round. Squalicum played 413 00:26:26.890 --> 00:26:33.210 really well in the first set, but they took Linden 414 00:26:33.230 --> 00:26:34.890 to the limit. The Lions win that one 27-25, and 415 00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:36.019 then they kind of went from there to win 25-14, 416 00:26:36.009 --> 00:26:37.990 25-11 as the Lions moved back, went back to the 417 00:26:38.029 --> 00:26:47.299 district championship game. For the second year in a row, 418 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:52.299 Squalicum took the loss there. Also, Archbishop Murphy beat Sehome 419 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:57.170 3-1 after the Mariners took the first set. But the Wildcats, 420 00:26:57.210 --> 00:27:00.450 they play such great defense, and they make you beat yourself. 421 00:27:01.089 --> 00:27:06.000 It's really hard to get points against them. And, yeah, 422 00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:08.140 it was a tough one, but we'll talk about how 423 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:12.589 it ended up later. So, yeah. Yeah, we'll talk about that. 424 00:27:12.630 --> 00:27:15.309 But Seohm had to go down to the consolation round. 425 00:27:15.369 --> 00:27:18.759 Archbishop Murphy moved on to the championship game. Bellingham stayed 426 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:23.039 alive by beating Lakewood 3-0. Bellingham just kind of got 427 00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:26.099 on a hot streak there from the week before and 428 00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:30.109 continued it against the Cougars, eliminating Lakewood as they moved 429 00:27:30.450 --> 00:27:34.950 on in the district

tournament consolation round. The next day, 430 00:27:34.990 --> 00:27:39.750 this was the crazy day. This was Tuesday. There were five... 431 00:27:40.309 --> 00:27:45.349 playoff games there, 1A and 2A combined, all at Meridian 432 00:27:45.390 --> 00:27:49.410 High School. And all five of them were Whatcom County 433 00:27:49.450 --> 00:27:52.000 versus Whatcom County, except for just one of those. So 434 00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:56.000 it was a lot going on, 1A and 2A. It 435 00:27:56.059 --> 00:28:00.519 started out with a play-in game. Well, I guess they're 436 00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:03.640 all not really play-in games, but an elimination game, Nooksack 437 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.480 Valley beating Blaine 3-0. Blaine ends their season 0-15, unable 438 00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:11.640 to pick up a win. during the year, the pioneers 439 00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:14.289 moved on to fate. And then they had to face 440 00:28:14.329 --> 00:28:17.029 Mount Baker four hours later, Mount Baker. And this was 441 00:28:17.069 --> 00:28:20.130 a great match because, you know, they each beat each 442 00:28:20.210 --> 00:28:23.990 other in the regular season at their own home gyms. 443 00:28:24.650 --> 00:28:28.259 So now you're playing at Meridian. You got to, you know, 444 00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:30.309 and you got everything on the line, right? The season's 445 00:28:30.349 --> 00:28:33.289 on the line. You're at a neutral site and you 446 00:28:33.329 --> 00:28:35.349 kind of just knew it would go five sets. Well, 447 00:28:35.390 --> 00:28:38.930 Nooksack Valley wins the first two, 25 to nine and 448 00:28:38.930 --> 00:28:42.380 25 to 13. And you thought, Oh, maybe it won't 449 00:28:42.390 --> 00:28:44.880 go five sets, but Mount Baker had different things in mind. 450 00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:48.640 They got the reverse sweep by winning the next three sets, 451 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.140 25 to 20, 25 to 19 and 15 to 12. 452 00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:53.420 I want to say it might've been, I think it 453 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.190 was their first win in the district tournament that, in 454 00:28:57.230 --> 00:29:01.039 like 12 years, 14 years, something like that. You're, you're 455 00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:02.920 hearing a lot of these things about Baker doing all 456 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.039 these things for the first time. And in 12 years, 457 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.910 you keep hearing that over and over again. And, and, uh, 458 00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:11.160 it just, it just keeps happening, which means none of 459 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.859 these players were even starting kindergarten yet. Uh, the last 460 00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:17.549 time these things have happened. So great turnaround. by the 461 00:29:17.589 --> 00:29:24.319 Mountaineer program. This ended Nooksack Valley season as well at 7-11. Also, 462 00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.940 what took place is the 1A District Championship game, another 463 00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.299 rubber match where they each beat each other at their 464 00:29:31.380 --> 00:29:35.269 own home gyms. And so again, this was, but the 465 00:29:35.309 --> 00:29:37.930 tournament is played at Meridian. So don't know if that's 466 00:29:37.970 --> 00:29:39.690 a little bit of an edge for the Trojans, but 467 00:29:39.710 --> 00:29:43.980 they play well. All sets were extremely close, but Meridian 468 00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.519 went them all 25, 22, 25, 23, and 25 to 21. 469 00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:52.250 Melanie short 16 kills, 10 digs leading the Trojans to 470 00:29:52.309 --> 00:29:56.289 another district championship game. And that did not mean that 471 00:29:56.309 --> 00:29:58.630 they were moving on to state though, which is crazy. 472 00:29:58.789 --> 00:30:02.789 Both these teams, still had work to do. And in 473 00:30:02.809 --> 00:30:05.990 the 2A side of things, boy, there was a thriller 474 00:30:06.069 --> 00:30:09.410 on the other court there as Bellingham put a scare 475 00:30:09.450 --> 00:30:12.509 into Squalicum by winning the first two sets. The first 476 00:30:12.589 --> 00:30:17.029 one being a 30-28 marathon was unbelievable to watch. And 477 00:30:17.549 --> 00:30:21.009 Squalicum's season came right down to it. They were down 2-0. 478 00:30:21.450 --> 00:30:23.690 But I tell you what, I was sitting behind the 479 00:30:23.750 --> 00:30:27.190 bench and I was doing stuff on my phone and 480 00:30:27.250 --> 00:30:31.079 posting stuff and you could hear them laughing and joking 481 00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:33.819 and having a good time. And it's not because I 482 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.640 thought it had nothing to do with them. And as 483 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.099 I'm talking about the squalicum here, I had nothing to 484 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.599 do with them thinking, Oh, this, this, this could be it. 485 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.920 We don't really care. They just stayed loose. I tell 486 00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:46.880 you what, it really, really worked because they came to, 487 00:30:47.099 --> 00:30:49.109 they came to play in the third set. They knew 488 00:30:49.220 --> 00:30:53.190 that they were, you know, a more experienced, better team. 489 00:30:53.890 --> 00:30:56.670 And Bellingham was playing their hearts out, you know, in 490 00:30:56.730 --> 00:30:59.269 survival mode for a while. And, And it just took 491 00:30:59.309 --> 00:31:01.609 a toll on them. Squalicum came back and won three 492 00:31:01.650 --> 00:31:06.559 sets to two. As a matter of fact, the last 493 00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:10.109 three sets, I mean, it was pretty dominant. 25-13, 25-11, 494 00:31:10.099 --> 00:31:17.130 and 15-8. Avery Kettman, big time, big time night for her. 495 00:31:17.269 --> 00:31:23.029 Alyssa Rosselli, Bronwyn Jones, Abby Fife, Lola Froese, Tiana Thompson, 496 00:31:23.069 --> 00:31:26.109 Penelope Darius, Reagan Wheeler. I mean, all these players had 497 00:31:26.230 --> 00:31:30.349 really good games. as

this went on Bellingham season came 498 00:31:30.390 --> 00:31:35.130 to an end at eight and 11 squalicum. They were 499 00:31:35.170 --> 00:31:37.710 hanging on to keep playing another day. And then in 500 00:31:37.730 --> 00:31:40.089 the nightcap in the second gym, their see home beats 501 00:31:40.150 --> 00:31:42.710 and a chorus three to zero that ends the Seahawks 502 00:31:42.750 --> 00:31:47.920 season as the defensive Jackie Hurley led the Mariners to 503 00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:52.759 play in the next round. And yeah, just keeping their 504 00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:55.259 season alive as well. So that all took place on 505 00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:58.819 Tuesday night. I got to watch, Most or all of 506 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:03.349 all of those, it was, like I said, it was crazy. 507 00:32:03.380 --> 00:32:06.970 I mean, the game started at 4, and I think 508 00:32:07.009 --> 00:32:09.349 they ended at like 10.30 or something like that. It 509 00:32:09.369 --> 00:32:13.109 was a really, really busy night. The next night, went 510 00:32:13.170 --> 00:32:16.950 back out there again to check out the 2A District 511 00:32:17.069 --> 00:32:21.630 Championship game. That was Linden beating Archbishop Murphy three sets 512 00:32:21.670 --> 00:32:24.029 to zero. I tell you what, they took care of 513 00:32:24.049 --> 00:32:28.059 business the first two, 25-9 and 25-13. But the Wildcats 514 00:32:28.099 --> 00:32:31.740 started really strong in the third set. They were up 515 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.660 8-0 early on. And then they played pretty even for 516 00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:37.960 a while. And then Linden just came back and they 517 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:42.380 ended up winning 30-28 to win their second district championship 518 00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:45.119 in a row and punch their ticket back to state 519 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:48.319 to defend their state title. So the Linden Lions move 520 00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:52.700 on there. And Sehome, they eliminated Squalicum. Boy, it was 521 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.700 tough to be there for this because I love both 522 00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.299 of these teams. And I knew that the loser would, 523 00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:59.859 that would be it for their, for their season. And, um, 524 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.259 you know, seeing the emotion of, of the squalicum players 525 00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.640 walking off the court the last time, especially in the seniors, uh, 526 00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:09.940 that was really, really hard to see, you know, you get, 527 00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:12.920 you get close with these athletes and you really want 528 00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:15.900 them to be happy and you, but you know, that 529 00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:18.000 that's part of sports and they know that too, and 530 00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:22.740 the competition and everything that that's involved. Um, it was, um, 531 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.259 It was tough to see. Seaholm did what they needed

532 00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:31.400 to do. Great, great games by Paige Flory, Jackie Hurley, 533 00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:37.359 Hadley Crovo, Taylor Terrell, Brooklyn Flamer, Maren Stiles. Maren Stiles 534 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.440 has really come on in this district tournament, which has 535 00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:46.089 been awesome to see, you know, with injuries happening and 536 00:33:46.109 --> 00:33:48.289 stuff like that for another player to step up and 537 00:33:48.349 --> 00:33:52.309 do so well. Really, really cool to see. Squalicum, their 538 00:33:52.349 --> 00:33:56.630 season comes to an end at 13-7, which was tough. 539 00:33:57.809 --> 00:34:00.930 Moving on to Thursday, now there was just the one game, 540 00:34:00.970 --> 00:34:03.529 and this again was win and you keep playing, lose 541 00:34:03.569 --> 00:34:08.639 and you're out. Lyndon Christian against Mount Baker, and the 542 00:34:08.699 --> 00:34:11.300 Mounties made it tough for the Lynx, but the Lynx 543 00:34:11.340 --> 00:34:17.659 do prevail, winning all three sets. Mount Baker was ahead, 544 00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:19.280 I think 11-9 in the first and the third set, 545 00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:24.820 but You know, the Lynx, just too much size and athleticism, 546 00:34:25.550 --> 00:34:28.429 and they get the job done. Mount Baker season ended 547 00:34:28.469 --> 00:34:32.750 at 6-9. Linden Christian then moved on to play a 548 00:34:33.369 --> 00:34:35.769 crossover match on Saturday, and we're going to talk about 549 00:34:35.809 --> 00:34:39.349 those Saturday games. And 1A, Meridian and Linden Christian both 550 00:34:39.369 --> 00:34:42.670 had to travel down south to take on District 2 551 00:34:42.670 --> 00:34:46.889 teams to go to state. They both pick up straight-set wins. 552 00:34:46.969 --> 00:34:50.739 Linden Christian over Bear Creek, Meridian over Linden. Overlake, that's 553 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.349 not easy to say. And so Meridian and Linda Christian 554 00:34:54.429 --> 00:34:57.329 both going back to state. They were both there last 555 00:34:57.369 --> 00:35:00.909 year as well, which meant there was only one team 556 00:35:00.969 --> 00:35:05.840 left to go to state and see home. Boy, so 557 00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:08.940 proud of the Mariners. They played so well, beating Archbishop 558 00:35:08.980 --> 00:35:11.559 Murphy three to one, winning the first two sets. And 559 00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:14.480 when they won that second one, boy, the crowd was 560 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.739 going crazy. And then when Archbishop Murphy won the third one, 561 00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:21.179 You know, I even got a text from someone saying 562 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.639 we have to win this fourth one or they're going 563 00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:26.300 to get that momentum. And I was totally with that. 564 00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:31.610 And SEOM did steal back momentum, won that fourth set, 565 00:35:32.110 --> 00:35:34.510 and they are going back to the state tournament. So 566 00:35:34.710 --> 00:35:36.710 all four teams that made it last year, they all 567 00:35:36.769 --> 00:35:39.789 placed last year. They're all going back this year. I 568 00:35:39.789 --> 00:35:43.539 will or I man, I booked my ticket, you know, 569 00:35:43.780 --> 00:35:46.780 a month ago, at least my hotel room and everything. 570 00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:49.010 I'm excited to go back to the Sun Dome. and 571 00:35:49.050 --> 00:35:51.369 check out these four teams that are going to compete 572 00:35:51.929 --> 00:35:55.840 in the 1A and 2A state tournaments. So let's take 573 00:35:55.860 --> 00:35:59.599 a look. Let's see here. Let's take a look at 574 00:35:59.739 --> 00:36:02.489 the state tournaments and kind of where they fall in 1A. 575 00:36:03.260 --> 00:36:06.449 Linden Christian got the seventh seed, so they'll take on 576 00:36:06.590 --> 00:36:09.510 Seton Catholic. This will be at nine in the morning 577 00:36:09.630 --> 00:36:12.809 on Friday. So I'll get in there on Thursday so 578 00:36:12.849 --> 00:36:15.110 I can get a good night's sleep, get there early, 579 00:36:15.510 --> 00:36:17.800 taking the festivities, the You know, if you get there 580 00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.679 early enough, you'll get the Star Spangled Banner with all 581 00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:23.559 the teams standing there. And so I'll be there for that. 582 00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.380 And then I'll be able to catch Lynn and Christian 583 00:36:25.420 --> 00:36:28.909 taking on Seton Catholic at 9 a.m. Meridian will also 584 00:36:28.949 --> 00:36:32.590 be playing at 9 a.m. against Kalama. So Meridian got 585 00:36:32.610 --> 00:36:35.289 the five seats. So we got a couple games here 586 00:36:35.329 --> 00:36:38.329 going on at the same time, Court 3 and Court 5, 587 00:36:38.329 --> 00:36:41.050 which tells me Court 3 is usually in the middle 588 00:36:41.429 --> 00:36:43.480 that goes the other way. Court 5 will be on 589 00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:46.489 one end or the other. So I got to properly– 590 00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:49.719 arrange my spot to be kind of in between those 591 00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.550 as both teams will be playing at the same time. 592 00:36:52.610 --> 00:36:55.110 So I'll probably get there really early to make sure 593 00:36:55.150 --> 00:36:56.989 I get a good spot where I can jump back 594 00:36:57.030 --> 00:37:00.150 and forth. And, uh, so that will be awesome. They 595 00:37:00.329 --> 00:37:03.519 are on separate sides of the bracket too, which I like, 596 00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.320 which means a possibility of a state championship between the two. Boy, 597 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.639 that would be awesome. Wouldn't it? Uh, you never know. 598 00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:14.030 We'll have to wait and see. Um, Yeah, I mean, 599 00:37:14.110 --> 00:37:16.449 it happened a couple years ago where both teams actually 600 00:37:16.530 --> 00:37:19.070 lost in the first round, and then they both

kept 601 00:37:19.170 --> 00:37:21.829 winning until they played each other in their final match 602 00:37:21.869 --> 00:37:24.800 for 7th and 8th. So who knows what's going to happen. 603 00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:27.619 Both teams favored in this first round, Linda Christian against 604 00:37:27.659 --> 00:37:32.340 Seton Catholic and Meridian against Kalama. And 2A, this will 605 00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:35.199 be going on at the same time, same venue. I'll 606 00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:39.050 be there. Sehome got the sixth seed. They'll be playing Sela. 607 00:37:39.489 --> 00:37:41.829 This will be at 1045 in the morning. So as 608 00:37:41.869 --> 00:37:44.139 soon as those two are done, I will go over 609 00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:48.630 to court four for see home against Sela and we'll 610 00:37:48.650 --> 00:37:51.309 see what happens in that one. And then later on 611 00:37:51.349 --> 00:37:53.829 in the afternoon at two 30. So that means I'll 612 00:37:53.889 --> 00:37:56.809 probably be able to buzz out and grab something to eat, 613 00:37:56.869 --> 00:38:00.429 come back and Linden will take on squim. That'll be 614 00:38:00.449 --> 00:38:03.369 at two 30 in the afternoon on court two is 615 00:38:03.389 --> 00:38:08.389 you're all Yakima sun dome. So that'll be, that'll be 616 00:38:08.449 --> 00:38:10.670 good to see when Linden comes out there. It's crazy. 617 00:38:10.710 --> 00:38:13.619 Cause they look like a college team. Like those, Uniforms 618 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:16.269 are so bright with the yellow and green, and they 619 00:38:16.329 --> 00:38:21.809 just look awesome. They look determined. They have game faces on. 620 00:38:22.150 --> 00:38:24.789 Looks like University of Oregon or something coming out. And 621 00:38:24.889 --> 00:38:27.849 you could tell the awe of other teams looking at them. 622 00:38:27.949 --> 00:38:30.739 I really feel like they've got some good swagger going. 623 00:38:30.780 --> 00:38:33.539 They are the returning state champions, so we'll see what 624 00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.280 they can do. And Linden and Sehome on opposite sides 625 00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:38.840 of the bracket, which I love that as well. So 626 00:38:38.860 --> 00:38:40.639 we'll have to wait and see kind of how that 627 00:38:40.699 --> 00:38:45.019 all plays out. Very, very exciting there. And then in 3A, 628 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.699 so they're about a week behind here. So they are 629 00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:52.110 going to be playing their district tournament this week. Ferndale, 630 00:38:52.230 --> 00:38:55.670 they'll be hosting Snohomish. Ferndale, the two seed. They're going 631 00:38:55.690 --> 00:38:59.449 to host Snohomish, who's the seven seed. And that will 632 00:38:59.489 --> 00:39:04.269 be on Tuesday night, I believe at 7 o'clock. Yeah, 633 00:39:04.269 --> 00:39:08.650 7 o'clock. And it's double elimination. So if you lose, 634 00:39:08.690 --> 00:39:13.429 you're still in it. But if you win... You'll get 635

00:39:13.809 --> 00:39:16.949 to keep going, and then after this first round, everything 636 00:39:17.010 --> 00:39:19.670 is played at Stanwood High School. Stanwood's also the top 637 00:39:19.710 --> 00:39:22.869 seed in this tournament, so they have a pretty good 638 00:39:22.909 --> 00:39:26.329 advantage there being the most talented team. Plus, they'll be 639 00:39:26.369 --> 00:39:30.480 playing everything else at home. Ferndale against Snohomish. we'll see 640 00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:33.400 what happens there. Ferndale can move on, then they'll be 641 00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:37.199 playing Thursday, and then from there they can play Saturday 642 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:39.579 and so on. So we'll have to wait and see 643 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:41.840 how the Golden Eagles do. They're going to have to 644 00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:44.789 take care of business against Snohomish on Tuesday at home 645 00:39:44.809 --> 00:39:48.929 at 7 o'clock. Let's take a look at the stat leaders. 646 00:39:48.949 --> 00:39:52.170 The stat leaders are brought to you by Apex Northwest Volleyball. 647 00:39:52.469 --> 00:39:57.639 Apex Northwest Volleyball Club utilizes competitive volleyball to develop stronger athletes, 648 00:39:57.840 --> 00:40:02.090 nurture well-rounded individuals, and provide resources to pursue volleyball at 649 00:40:02.110 --> 00:40:08.530 the next level.

And, 677 00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:03.920 and it wasn't all just power kills. She knows when 678 00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:07.559 to do the tip kills as well.

She played better and 699 00:43:24.090 --> 00:43:26.699 had five and a half blocks in that Archbishop win 700 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:29.400 on Saturday.
