[0:17] [Music] [0:39] a A couple of weeks back, we had the [0:41] girls hockey matchup between Blaine and [0:43] Centennial Spring Lake Park. The [0:45] ultimate cat clash, but this sports den [0:48] might be the ultimate sports den. Four [0:51] cat clashes alongside Ble Why filling in [0:53] for Matt Dean this week. Uh I am Ted [0:56] Laroo and not one, not two, not three, [0:58] and they're all on the same day. Ble, so [1:01] you came to the right spot uh to kind of [1:03] recap it. And we're going to start first [1:05] uh on the hardwood here today for for [1:07] girls basketball. Cent, you know, [1:09] Blaine's been at the top of the [1:10] conference here for for the last couple [1:12] of weeks. And Centennial actually had [1:14] beaten them the time before, so they [1:16] were looking to make it two in a row [1:18] earlier this week. [1:19] >> Yeah. So, here they go. The Cat Clash. [1:21] We have up first, the ladies, of course. [1:26] Ladies hoops. Last Thursday night, the [1:28] Centennial Cougars visiting the Blaine [1:30] Bengals. And this one delivered from [1:32] start to finish. Centennial moving it [1:34] early. Amelia Delmedico finds Addie [1:36] Sears on the left wing. Got it. The [1:38] three ball splashes home. Centennial [1:41] fierce on offense and defense. Linger [1:43] picks the pocket. Goes coast to coast to [1:45] the goal line. Rightsided layin. Count [1:48] it. Ruick says, "I got it this time [1:51] though. Lofts it up over to Cummings on [1:53] the back door. High off the glass and [1:55] one opportunity." Centennial back to [1:57] work. Linger kicks it to Taylor. Square [2:00] up nothing but net. Drive and kick. It's [2:03] Sydney Schmidz finding Kate Lee. The [2:05] three rattles home. Then the Cougars [2:08] heat up. Addie Sears swings it to Kayn [2:11] Green on the left wing. Splash. Lee [2:14] draws the defense. Dishes to Dmetico on [2:16] the left wing. Three once more. Blaine [2:20] fires back. It's Airheart draining one [2:22] from deep. You'll see her get ready here [2:24] as she puts this one through. [2:28] And Cummings left alone. She's going to [2:31] make him pay. You see her get it on that [2:34] left wing. She puts this one through. [2:38] But Englehel pops a three of her own. [2:41] Gets it here before half. 28-23 [2:44] at the break. Delmetico going to find [2:47] Schmidz on the baseline for another [2:49] triple. [2:51] Great awareness by Richie attacking the [2:53] rim going all the way and one. [2:58] Lee feeds Linger [3:01] and one more to Airheart. Her three [3:03] takes flight. [3:06] Then Taylor finds Schmidz inside. Kicked [3:08] it back out to Lee. A right wing three [3:10] pure. [3:12] Centennial pours it on outscoring Blaine [3:15] 31 to22 in the second half. The final [3:18] 59-45. [3:20] Centennial wins it. [3:22] [Music] [3:25] >> And of course, taking a look at Blaine, [3:27] seeing him sit up top on the conference [3:29] record, seven and three. Ted, we don't [3:32] always see that. [3:33] >> Yeah, it's a little bit of a different, [3:35] you know, kind of flipped as far as the [3:36] who the perennial powers of the [3:38] conference are. Of course, in this area, [3:40] you're looking at Centennial. They [3:42] they've won a lot of section [3:43] championships in the last, you know, [3:45] five to seven years. Jamie Soil has done [3:46] a great job with that program. And now [3:49] you look at Centennial winning both of [3:51] the matchups against Blaine this season. [3:54] And so that's two of the three [3:56] conference losses that Blaine has uh at [3:59] the top of the league right now um [4:01] belong to Centennial getting those wins. [4:03] And then you kind of look at the [4:04] Cougars. Two of the four conference [4:06] victories they have uh are beating [4:08] Blaine. So that's kind of a little bit [4:10] of opposite uh this season. And then uh [4:13] you know you look at coming up on [4:14] January 27th. How about Blaine going to [4:17] Spring Lake Park? North Metro TV will be [4:19] there uh for that CAT clash. And you [4:21] look at SLP right now, one of three [4:24] teams that have 10 wins so far this [4:26] year. They've won five of seven of their [4:28] conference games. So, we'll see what [4:30] kind of happens in the next week, but [4:32] that's Blaine Spring Lake Park. Of [4:34] course, they're in different sections, [4:35] but that Blaine Spring Lake Park matchup [4:37] on the girls hardwood could certainly [4:38] have conference implications at the top [4:40] of the Northwest Suburban. [4:41] >> Yeah, Blaine on the road for the next [4:42] three. So, it's going to be interesting [4:44] coming off of this loss after having a [4:46] two-game win streak prior. And [4:49] Centennial and SLP both coming off the [4:51] two game losing streak, finding a win in [4:54] that last matchup. But of course, let's [4:56] see the gentleman. [4:58] Here it is. Let's go. The cat clash for [5:01] the gentleman last Thursday night. [5:02] Blaine at Centennial squaring off on the [5:04] hardwood. [5:06] It's Mills picking the pocket, finding [5:08] Genta. The spin cycle through the lane. [5:10] Transition bucket sets the tone. [5:13] Seammens driving and dish finding Lavic [5:16] proving the Bengals have some range. The [5:18] freshman knocks down the corner triple. [5:20] Centennial answers with Tristan Hansen [5:23] slicing through the D like butter. Makes [5:25] this one look easy. Then Espinosa hand [5:29] in his face. No problem. That's a senior [5:32] shot right there if I've ever seen one. [5:35] Blaine goes back to the perimeter. This [5:37] time Owen Clark for the deep wing. Pure [5:41] Cougars back on offense and it's [5:42] Espinosa calling his own number. Heat [5:45] check activated. Yes, sir. Cougars cough [5:48] it up at half. Mills turning defense [5:50] into offense and the layup is good. [5:55] Clark drives and kicks to Ga. Left wing [5:59] gem. He's going to cash in. Second half. [6:02] Centennial still feeling it from [6:03] Threeland. Kakone puts down the trick. [6:08] >> Ayeti in transition. Fullblown bulldozer [6:12] mode. Absorbs the contact. Finishes at [6:14] the rim and one. [6:17] Gazani steps in left wing. Nothing but [6:20] net. [6:22] >> And Kaken over the top to Hansen. Seals [6:24] off the defender. Count the bucket and [6:26] the foul. Excellent twoman game right [6:28] there. Espinosa final strike. Baseline [6:31] three from the corner. But Bla finishes [6:33] strong. Seammens spin move at the top, [6:36] cuts the defenders, lays it in through [6:38] the contact. Final score 7569. [6:42] Bengals win on the road. [6:45] >> Um, it took a lot of grit from everybody [6:47] on the team. If you look at the [6:48] scoreboard, everybody was in double [6:50] digits. Everyone was rebounding, [6:51] passing, and just playing team ball. You [6:53] know, they like to get on Shiloh a lot. [6:55] He's a really good player. He's an [6:56] all-conerence type of player. They're [6:58] hacking him a lot. He's a really [6:59] physical game. So, we had to come [7:01] together as a team to kind of, you know, [7:03] find other ways to score and play [7:04] defense and rebound and all that. [7:07] >> Uh, we're a pretty good uh team. We we [7:09] have a lot of chemistry. So, I think [7:10] that [7:11] >> as we take a look at boys hoops, Blaine, [7:13] the Bengals hosting Rogers. This one [7:16] turned into a showcase early on. Blaine [7:18] establishes the tone inside. That's Idi [7:20] catching on the block, finishing at the [7:22] rim. Rogers Vargas drifts to the right [7:24] side baseline, buries the triple. But [7:26] once Blaine finds tempo, the floor opens [7:29] up. Seammens leaks out in transition. [7:32] Then Mills weaving through traffic like [7:34] he's got a police escort all the way to [7:36] the cup. [7:38] Defense collapses. Mills kicks it out. [7:41] It's Gavin Olsen. Steps into the three [7:43] and sinks it in rhythm. Ieti stays [7:46] aggressive attacking downhill. Count it. [7:49] And a foul. Here he goes. [7:52] Rogers tries to corner. Corner it off [7:55] inside. Ice threads the pass. Big man [7:58] delivers and one. But Blaine keeps [8:01] pouring it on. Genta with a defender [8:03] tight. Doesn't matter. He rises anyway. [8:05] Splashes it in from deep. Halftime. [8:07] Blaine up 3627. [8:10] But Blaine's range continues to cut like [8:12] a knife as Olsen knocks it down. Ga [8:16] beats his man on the bounce. He finishes [8:18] through contact and one. Rogers shows [8:22] some result. Shady to Alo. Soft touch [8:26] off the glass plus the foul. [8:29] But Aay yeti throws on his cape, takes [8:31] the defender. One v one. You saw him [8:33] there for the three-point play [8:34] opportunity. Seammens locating Clark. He [8:37] scores the high arcer, but Clark gets to [8:39] return the favor, kicking it out to [8:41] Seammens. He lands a three of his own. [8:43] Bengals don't let up. Atti takes it away [8:47] at midcourt. Coast to coast here. [8:49] Uncontested and an empathetic dunk. [8:54] But Lavic pouring in from the perimeter [8:57] as well as wear proving the bank stays [8:59] open from the top of the key three. The [9:01] final playing 8647. [9:05] >> Uh we did well today was picking up our [9:08] energy in the second half coming out [9:10] playing harder. Uh not letting not let [9:14] get no straight line drives, rebounding [9:16] better, just passing and moving cutting. [9:19] We just played better as a team in the [9:20] second half. That's what got us to win. [9:23] Um, in the second half we definitely [9:25] picked up our energy a lot more, [9:26] especially on the defensive side and we [9:29] just had a ton of steals and it helped [9:30] us get a big lead and helped us [9:32] ultimately get the dub. [9:35] >> And that last thing you saw, Yeti [9:37] leading all scorers with 21. But as you [9:39] take a look at the schedule, Blaine [9:41] undefeated in conference play. Pretty [9:44] impressive start for Ted. [9:45] >> I mean, that's impressive start is [9:47] really putting it mildly. It is the best [9:50] start in 40 years for Blaine boys [9:54] basketball. This is unprecedented [9:56] success in what Bernie Ward is doing [9:58] with this Bengal team right now. It's a [10:00] team that can score. They're putting up [10:02] 80 plus points and I believe it's three [10:04] of their last four games. So, this is a [10:06] team, this is a team that can always [10:07] score the basketball like we've been [10:09] talking about here throughout Sports [10:10] STEM this season. But, it's the defense [10:12] clamping down in the defensive side of [10:14] the ball has been a big key for for [10:16] Blaine success uh so far. He's got three [10:18] players that are averaging in double [10:20] digits. Of course, you have Shiloh [10:22] Aayite that can just take over a game at [10:25] any time that he decides to. He can he [10:27] can shoot it from the perimeter. He can [10:29] break down a defender and get into the [10:30] paint and finish there. He can get to [10:32] the line and get extra points there. [10:34] Henry Seammons is a guy that can stretch [10:36] the floor and get um knock shots down [10:39] from downtown. He's averaging nearly 16 [10:41] points a game this season. Tulmpa, [10:43] you've seen that some long athleticism [10:45] outside with 11.4. You've got Owen Clark [10:48] that can step back in two threes like [10:49] and then you've got so much depth kind [10:51] of going down to your bench. This is a [10:53] this is a Blaine team. And if you kind [10:54] of look at what's coming up for this [10:56] Bengals squad, you look at Armstrong [10:58] coming up. They're sitting about middle [10:59] of the road in the conference. Uh St. [11:02] Paul Central on the road and then Spring [11:04] Lake Park. That's that's another one [11:05] that Blaine Spring Lake Park, of course, [11:07] you know, girls and boys uh playing [11:09] opposite uh opposite locations, but that [11:11] is going to be uh at the Bengal gym on [11:14] January 27th. And we we covered Spring [11:17] Lake Park earlier [11:19] uh this season and that is that's a deep [11:21] team and that's a Oliver Major has a [11:23] really good squad. So those are two [11:25] really good teams right now on top the [11:27] Northwest Suburban. Can't wait to see [11:28] them tangle here in a little bit. [11:30] >> Yeah, seven different Bengals hitting [11:32] the three in that last matchup we just [11:34] saw. But definitely impressive like you [11:37] said, Ted, but of course we go from the [11:39] hardwood. We have to take a look at the [11:40] ice also. Yeah, these we got some good [11:42] hockey teams um in this area both on the [11:44] girls side uh and on the boys side. [11:46] We're going to begin on the boys side as [11:49] we dive in uh to our highlights here [11:51] from the last week uh within our area. [11:54] Tuesday, SLPCR looking for back-to-back [11:56] wins hosting Armstrong Cooper less than [12:00] three minutes from puck drop. Jackson [12:01] Bars, how about this nice backhanded [12:03] goal? It's his 10th of the year. Ashton [12:05] Ryerson a little help to kind of paddle [12:07] it back to him there and it's one- [12:09] nothing Panthers. They keep it going. [12:11] Middle of the first, Ian Alen, safety on [12:13] the state championship football team, [12:14] finding the smallest window in the [12:16] mansion threw a dinner party and it's [12:18] two nothing for the White Sweaters. [12:20] Wings starting to fly late in the first. [12:23] James Craig Thorp fires. Goalie Alex [12:25] Wick couldn't get all of his glove on. [12:27] It goes bar down. 2-1 after one. Second [12:30] period. Little peekaboo pass here from [12:32] behind the net. Nicholas Anderson, one [12:34] of his two assists. Craig Thorp second [12:36] goal within five minutes. Wings tie it [12:39] up at two. Now they're on the power [12:41] play. Here's that second assist from [12:42] Anderson across the ring to Brady [12:44] Northrup and he snipes it up top shelf. [12:47] Three straight goals for the Wings. [12:48] They've got the lead. Anderson sick of [12:50] passing at this point. He outskates two [12:52] SLP CR defenders. That's a three-point [12:54] night with a goal. Ander Armstrong [12:56] Cooper by two. The Wings finish it off [12:59] with an empty net goal. Five straight to [13:02] end this one. Five to2 the final. [13:05] Armstrong Cooper victors over SLPCR. [13:10] Let's skate our way to Thursday. Cat [13:13] clash at the Centennial Sports Arena. [13:15] Bengals Cougars. This rivalry is always [13:18] a blast, man. Midway through the first. [13:20] Defense turning to offense. Grady [13:22] bouches it all. The poke and the point. [13:24] Bengals. How about the one-man effort [13:26] taking the 10-0 lead. Second period. [13:28] Kaden Johnson here fights off a Bengal [13:31] defender. One hand. That's That's all he [13:33] needs here. sneaks it past the tender [13:35] through the five hole for the tie. Some [13:38] fancy stick work there. Third period. [13:41] This is where things get a little bit [13:42] spicy. Another Cougars defensive zone [13:44] turnover. Leaves a good time at Blaine [13:47] High. Sam Peter fires it off from [13:48] distance. The all Blues ahead two to [13:50] one. Bengals up two men on the five on [13:53] three. They take advantage. Get that [13:54] thing to the top and let it rip. Tanner [13:56] Ferdig his fourth of the year. Bengals [13:58] plus two. Feeling good. There were six [14:00] penalties in the third. Now the rolls [14:02] are reversed. Cougars with the five on [14:04] three. Gavin Cunningham to Kaden [14:06] Johnson. His second goal of the night. [14:08] Cougars within one. 30 seconds left on [14:10] the following five on four. Here's your [14:12] controversy. Scramble in front of the [14:14] net. It appears the Cougars got the [14:16] goal. Refs kind of huddle up to talk [14:18] about it. Take a look yourself. It looks [14:21] like the puck hits the back of the net. [14:23] Officials no whistle. The pandemonium [14:27] tempers flare after this one. and the [14:30] score hold Blaine three Centennial 2 the [14:34] final. [14:34] >> Um yeah, every game's the same. You [14:36] know, we work 100% no matter what and uh [14:38] we treat every game as it's championship [14:40] game. [14:40] >> You got the goal scoring going in the [14:42] first period. Talk about that goal and [14:44] kind of how you got the got the thing [14:45] going for the Blaine Bengals tonight. [14:47] >> Yeah, it wouldn't have happened without [14:48] my linemates pushing the pushing the D [14:50] to the middle with there. I was able to [14:52] take the puck. Line mate went back door [14:54] so he was always an option but uh their [14:56] D overplayed it so I just took the shot. [14:58] I got to ask about this thing here at [15:00] the end of the game. This goal, this [15:02] goal, no goal. Maybe it was a goal down [15:04] here. Can you tell me what happened [15:05] here? [15:06] >> Yeah, I honestly I wasn't out there. I [15:08] wasn't really sure. Uh I don't I don't [15:10] even know. I saw I I didn't see the puck [15:12] go in, but then it went all the way down [15:15] and I thought we scored, but I don't [15:16] know. It was ref's decision there. [15:20] >> The Cougars and the Bengals find [15:22] themselves within striking distance [15:24] right now at the conference crown as [15:26] we're a little bit past the midway point [15:28] here. of the boys hockey regular season. [15:30] That was an emotional cat clash on [15:32] Thursday as you saw during those [15:34] highlights. The Bengals fell to [15:36] conference leader Elk River Zimmerman 5 [15:38] to4 on Saturday. Brody Lachman had two [15:41] goals for Bla. So kind of pushing the [15:42] best in the league uh to the absolute [15:45] limit here. But as far as Centennial [15:47] goes, we're going to find out if they [15:49] can also hang with the class of the [15:51] conference. They're traveling to [15:54] Furniture and Things Arena, one of the [15:56] best arenas, one of the best barns in [15:57] the area on Thursday. And then they're [16:00] back home against that same Elk River [16:02] Zimmerman team on Tuesday. So, two of [16:05] the next three games are between the [16:07] Cougars and the Elks coming up. Now, [16:10] after a Tuesday road game at Mountain [16:11] View, Blaine plays two times in three [16:13] days against Champlain Park. So, a [16:15] little bit of a uh of a night cap home [16:17] and home there between the Rebels and [16:20] the Bengals. SLPCR tied St. Cloud 2 to2 [16:23] uh over the weekend. Lakeville North and [16:26] Anoka are up for the Panthers. So that's [16:29] what things are looking at at the boys [16:31] side. Let's kind of shift over to the [16:34] girls side. We go to Tuesday night and [16:37] how about a Tuesday night feature at [16:39] Fogerty Arena. Blaine hosting Oio Park [16:42] Center. Get the axe out. It's time to [16:44] chop. Isabella Hunter offers up the [16:46] yolk. Maya Hunter chops it down on the [16:48] redirect. There you see it. Stick to [16:50] ice. One- nothing Bengals. You know, it [16:52] didn't take long for the Stars to [16:54] respond here. Charlotte Olar beats [16:56] everyone. Nets are team leading 13th of [16:58] the year. We're all tied at one apiece. [17:01] Bengal power play. 6 minutes to go in [17:04] the opening period. Mila Lindholm scores [17:06] 2-1 after an action-packed [17:09] first period. Three goals in the opening [17:11] frame. Early second, OPC power put. He [17:13] just fired a net. Good things can [17:15] usually happen. Dakota McAlpine credited [17:17] for the goal. There she is. 24 down [17:21] there in the crease. Deflects off her [17:23] into the back of the net. And that [17:25] massive bodies. Under a minute left here [17:27] in the second. A threeon one. Klay [17:29] Johnson. Ka Peek. Yeah, you betcha. For [17:32] the lead there for Blaine. Nice, [17:35] beautiful passing. Maya Gunter gets her [17:37] second goal of the game here on the [17:38] empty net. Third of the year. Bengals [17:41] win a fun one. 4-2. The final score on [17:46] Tuesday night. [17:50] Yeah. Um, we were able to just get hyped [17:52] up in the locker room and able to just [17:55] like make sure we had goals and just [17:58] play our best, make sure just we had [18:00] fun. [18:01] >> Talk about your goal that you got in the [18:03] second period. That was late in the [18:04] period. It felt like OPC had some [18:06] momentum on their side. Then you got [18:08] that opportunity there with Kolia [18:09] Johnson to get that goal. Talk about [18:11] that goal. So we had a girl going down [18:14] the we had three going down the ice on [18:16] threeon-one and goalie was driving left [18:18] and I just went to the net. Beautiful [18:20] pass to the defense and one time it in. [18:23] It was very nice. [18:25] >> Fortunately we were not able to get the [18:28] video of this game but Centennial Spring [18:31] Lake Park battled Holy Family for the [18:34] second time this year on Saturday. And [18:36] for the second time this year they came [18:38] out with a win. This was number one [18:40] versus number two in the Let's Play [18:41] hockey class doubleA rankings uh in [18:44] girls hockey out there in Victoria. [18:46] Katherine Gina got the game-winning [18:49] goal. She also had a goal back on New [18:51] Year's Eve when these two met in a [18:53] holiday tournament. Two out of her three [18:55] goals this season have come against the [18:57] former number one team in the state. We [18:59] talked about it last week. Those top [19:01] five forwards that CSLB has. She's not [19:03] in that group and she's still playing [19:05] pretty good against some of the top team [19:06] some of the top competition out there. [19:07] But uh speaking of tough competition, it [19:10] doesn't stop there. Number three ranked [19:12] Minnetonka awaits on January 22nd. You [19:15] fast forward past these next three [19:17] games. Hill Murray is number four in the [19:19] state. That's on January 31st. And then [19:22] we're going to have the game between [19:23] Centennial Spring Lake Park and Andover. [19:26] The Huskies uh are the number 14 team in [19:29] the state of Minnesota. So CSLP taking [19:32] on some really good competition right [19:34] now. Blaine topped White Bear Lake 6 to1 [19:37] uh on Saturday. Rogers and Egan awaited [19:40] at home at Fogerty Arena this week. [19:44] Let's shift and let's talk about some [19:46] wrestling. Let's go to the mat. Uh on [19:48] Friday, you know, as Centennial, [19:51] Rapids, and AIO, but we're going to [19:52] focus on the duel as a part of this [19:55] triangular. We start first at 107. [19:57] Lowscoring stalemate until the third [19:59] period. Clayton Wick takes control, gets [20:01] the fall, and he ends up taking the [20:04] first match. [20:05] >> Callen Shelstead took control early at [20:08] 114 to take a 12-1 dominant win for the [20:11] Cougars. Makes the Kun row and the 10- [20:13] nothing Cougars team advantage at 121. [20:15] Evan B held the lead late um here [20:19] against Alex Chang of Rapids 6-2 in [20:22] the third period. He finished it off by [20:24] taking the early decision and the [20:27] Cougars are out to a 22 to nothing team [20:30] advantage at this point. Absolutely [20:32] dominating on the road. Nixon Glenn [20:35] grabs the leg of Centennial's East and [20:37] Martin holds on for Rafford's first [20:39] win of the night taking it 9 to3. Ian [20:41] Shelstead at 139. Took the wheel from [20:43] start to finish 14-1. The final tally in [20:48] this matchup go to 145. Cardinal [20:50] grappler Jack Bernenstein takes the [20:53] domination the other way this time. Tech [20:55] ball uh after a 17 to1 lead in the [20:58] second period here at 152. Cougars get [21:01] back on the track. Parker Leader gets [21:03] the shoulders of the mat. Cougars up [21:05] 33-8 at this point. 10th ring Jack [21:08] Rugenagger of Centennial showing [21:09] everybody why Gavin Conway didn't stand [21:12] a chance. We go over now to 172. This is [21:15] Grant Moffett fall short. Cardinals get [21:17] to double digits now from a team score [21:20] perspective, trailing 45 to1. Two [21:22] classes to go here at 215. Carter Stucky [21:25] gets pinned uh as the Cardinals starting [21:28] to gain a little bit of late momentum uh [21:31] at at this point in time. See hooking [21:34] the leg, flipping them over. That'll [21:36] certainly get you some points. But the [21:37] heavyweights go the way of the Cougars. [21:40] They finish strong. Braden B uh puts the [21:42] finishing touches on a dominant duel [21:44] victory. 5115 for Centennial. [21:49] >> As we swim on over to the pool to see [21:51] the cat clash, the fresh water, a sharp [21:54] execution and clutch moment across the [21:56] board. Spring Lake Park and Blaine [21:58] delivered a complete swim and dive [22:00] showdown. The tone in the pool was set [22:02] early by SLP's varsity medley relay. [22:06] Touching first in 15075. Clean [22:09] exchanges, smooth turns, and early [22:11] momentum. But we head to the diving well [22:13] and Jonathan Katada takes the sets the [22:17] standard here. The meat best 183.85. [22:22] Crisp takeoffs, clean entries, and big [22:24] moments. Blaine's depth off the board [22:28] followed, but steady dives and bonus [22:30] points created momentum swings that kept [22:32] this meet tight. Back to the pool. Isaac [22:35] Wixs was in command, winning the 200 IM [22:38] in 21047, then coming back to take 100 [22:42] breaststroke in 10714. [22:46] Steady and composed wall-to-wall for [22:48] sure. Plane answered the speed. Jared [22:51] Magnus surged home the 100 freestyle [22:53] clocking 5282, [22:56] but SLP able to finish this one out. [22:59] >> We saw a lot of us step up, give a huge [23:02] amount of effort. They came out of the [23:04] water like almost hyperventilating, all [23:07] red and just almost lying on the floor. [23:10] And I think that's amazing to see as a [23:12] captain like seeing everyone push [23:14] themsel and give an equal effort. I [23:17] think for me personally to hopefully [23:19] make it to state and then for the team [23:22] just to keep pushing further and [23:24] further, getting faster and hopefully [23:26] getting as many people to sections as we [23:29] can and doing well there. [23:32] A lot of impressive matchups we've been [23:34] able to see, Ted. And the most important [23:36] part, of course, those cat clashes. I'm [23:38] really looking forward to January 27th. [23:40] Matt, Dean, and I on the call for that [23:42] one. And it's also my half birthday, so [23:44] what could be better than that? Cat [23:46] clashes, half birthday celebrations. [23:49] >> Yeah, it's going to be a good one. We we [23:50] we got some good teams that are really [23:53] out there down the stretch. We've been [23:54] talking about it through the winter. [23:55] What Blaine boys basketball is doing, [23:57] unprecedented uh success. We talked [23:59] about the best start for them in 40 [24:01] years. I mean, Death, Texas, Centennial, [24:03] Spring Lake Park girls hockey kind of [24:04] doing their thing right now at the top [24:06] of the state. Maybe this is the year [24:07] that they finally put it together and [24:10] maybe win that state championship. I [24:12] mean, two wins over the number one team [24:14] in the state. They're really kind of [24:16] staking their claim uh to that top spot [24:18] right now. But, you know, we're going to [24:19] have all the highlights back here once [24:21] again uh next week uh over there over [24:24] here, excuse me, on Sports. So, for Blle [24:26] Why, I'm Ted Laroo. We'll see you next [24:28] week here on Sports.
