HOWALD Of the Keizertimes A 62-28 win over McMin- nville High School Friday, Feb. 13, was a display of just how much the McNary High School girls varsity basket- ball team has grown in recent weeks. When the two teams met a little more than three weeks ago, the Grizzlies gave the Celts a run for their money that ended in a 47-30 fi nal score. This time around, after the opening minutes, the Lady Celts clamped down defen- sively to create long runs leav- ing McMinnville in the dust. “It shows in the games that everyone has been playing at a higher level,” said Madi Hingston, a McNary junior. “We’ve been working hard on our game plans in practice and knowing who the shooters are and getting to them.” McNary’s Kaelie Flores kept McNary afl oat, scoring a tying basket and the go-head one in the third minute of the game. A three-pointer by Madi Hingston, her fi rst of four for the night, stretched the McNary lead to four and the Grizzles only threatened once more. Hingston has strung to- gether several outstanding nights on offense in recent weeks. She said the change was a result of personal and collective efforts. “I realized that I needed to start being more aggressive, but it also has a lot to do with PETERSON: Senior still looking at college options (Continued from Page A10) As a junior, Peterson was a fi rst team all-league selection, an honor he wasn’t planning to gun for until his senior year. “My goal was just to start and be a good player for our team, but I exceeded my own expectations and everyone else’s,” he said. While Peterson has risen to the forefront of his team, he’s also aware that it’s tak- en progress from everyone on the roster to reach the heights it has in the Greater Valley Conference. The Celts’ record is 13-1 in league. “We have all these other weapons and when some- one is on fi re, we start feed- ing them the ball. On any night, it could be anybody’s big game,” Peterson said. “It’s nice to be relied upon, and I want to be the guy with the ball at the end of the game. It’s a lot of pressure, but I en- joy it.” He’s getting looks from several Division II schools and is planning to visit a cou- ple of them during spring break. With a 3.98 grade point average, it’s likely he’ll have a couple of choices. In addition to being able to play, he’s looking for a school with a good engineering program – either chemical or bioengi- neering. Science has been his favorite subject for a while. Peterson’s accolades on the court are getting him most of the attention, but he’s equally reliable off the court. When longtime friend Pay- ton Williams was diagnosed with cancer last summer, Pe- terson fi lled Williams’s room with about 100 balloons he’d blown up himself. “I got a little light-headed and I was tired after, but it was life-altering. When someone gets a diagnosis like that, you realize how quickly life can change,” Peterson said.

Midway through the fi rst quarter, McMinnville went up 8-7, but then the Lady Celts went on an 18-point unan- swered run that spanned the fi rst and second periods. By the halftime buzzer, McNary was up 36-11. The Celtic dominance continued the rest of the game, and the team emptied its bench with three minutes left to play en route to the 62- 28 fi nal score. Hingston led the team with 16 points and six assists. Flores and Sydney Hunter had 13 points apiece; Kailey Doutt put up six; Jaylene Mon- tano had fi ve; Paige Downer drained a trey less than 30 sec- onds after hitting the court; Jasmine Ernest, Emma Jones and Lauren Hudgins had two points each. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the Celtics doled out a 59-36 loss to West Salem High School. The Titans jumped out to a 5-1 start, but McNary took the lead 13-7 by the end of the fi rst frame. The Titans only managed to outscore the Celts in the third period, but McNary al- ready had a runaway lead. “With both teams and we knew we had to come out strong,” Hingston said. Hingston led all scoring with 15 points; Hunter had 13; Vanessa Hayes put in 12; Kailey Doutt had seven; Flores and Ernest had four each; and Montano and Hudgins each drained one from the paint. his time since November, he and Williams remain in con- stant contact via text messag- ing. His reliability is what makes Peterson a leader on the court, Kirch said. “I think he’s come to real- ize that the responsibilities of being a great player continue off the court. It includes in class, in the hallways and in the community. I know that our youth kids idolize him,” Kirch said. “Tregg is also a funny kid, compassionate towards others and loves the color purple ... we are work- ing on his fashion sense.” Wherever he ends up next year, Peterson will take with him more than just his tal- ent on the court. He will take the lessons the game has taught him. “Basketball isn’t just about competing, it teaches leader- ship, accountability and a lot of other lessons. When you fail you have to get up and keep going. You learn the lessons that will stick with you the rest of your life,” he said.
