“We played good defense
behind Mickey (Walker) and
kept them from advancing be-
yond second base,” Goff said.
“We’ve had very few defen-
sive errors lately.”
Walker was the big story of
the game. He pitched a “gem”
of a game, Keeker said. Walker
threw only 68 pitches in a
complete game effort.
“I was working on locating
and trying to challenge the
batters,” Walker said.
Keeker said he’d never seen
a player work the mound as
effi ciently.
McNary took on McKay
High School Wednesday, May
6, and walked away with an
8-4 win.
Keeker said good defense
and good pitching led to the
“W.”
As the league season draws
to a close, Goff said the team
needed more consistent of-
fense.
“We need to start stringing
the hits together because one
run isn’t going to be enough
against the top teams in the
state,” he said.
Walker added that lessons
from the season thus far should
carry the team through.
“We’ve faced a lot of good
teams and we just need to
keep our composure, play like
we’ve been playing and we can
go a long way,” Walker said.

Auron and Rinoa Davidson show off some of their recent medals. Rinoa recently won a state
title in the sport at age 7.
7-year-old a state champ
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Rinoa Davidson knew
something was different about
the bowling lanes during the
Pepsi USBC Youth Champion-
ship in Happy Valley last month.
“It was slippery, but I am
proud to take fi rst place,” said
Rinoa, who claimed the state
title.
That may seem like an easy
observation to make, but Rinoa
is 7 years old. Her bowling av-
erage is 119 and her high game
so far is a 192, without bum-
pers.
Her older brother Auron
took third for his age group in
the same tournament.
“We were looking for some-
thing Auron could do at a
young age. And then we heard
about the scholarship program
at Town and Country,” said
mother Kathryn Davidson.
Auron started at 3 years old,
Rinoa started at 4 years old and
they’ve bowled on league teams,
and just for fun, ever since. The
pair have trouble sitting still
when they’re not bowling, but
they’re all focus when it comes
to the game.
They’ve recently started
competing to see who can get
the most strikes on any giv-
en day. At the mention of the
word, they throw their arms up
and cross them them indicat-
ing the “X” marked down for
strikes in bowling.
Each has their own bowling
ball, but Kathryn said their feet
have to stop growing before
she’ll get them shoes.
“It’s been a lot of fun to
watch them evolve and the
whole family gets together Sat-
urday mornings to watch them
bowl,” Kathryn said.
The McNary High School
track and fi eld teams began
the Greater Valley Conference
district meet Thursday, May
14, past press time.
With a number of indi-
vidual athletes poised to take
district titles based on prior
times this season, the Celts
spent last week preparing for
the big event.
At a joint meet with West
Albany, McKay and Forest
Grove high schools Wednes-
day, May 6, the team posted a
handful of individual winners
and a number of top three
fi nishers.

Voorhis took fi rst in the 200
meter with a time of 22.91
seconds; Kyle Torres was fi rst

lay team comprised of Aus-
tin Brown, Van Voorhis, Riley
Moore and Torres won in
43.41 seconds. Moore took
second in the 200 meter; Mi-
chael Reyes was second in
the 1,500 meter; and Antoine
Wilder was second in the 300
hurdles. Third place fi nishers
were: AJ Johnk in the 100 me-
ter; Brown in the 400 meter;
Kody Lewis in the 1.500 me-
ter; Wilder in the 110 hurdles;
Brown Van Voorhis, Moore
and Torres in the 4x400; Te-
vita Ma’ake in the shot put;

put with a mark of 33-00.50;
Jasimine Ernest won the jav-
elin with a heave of 110-10;
and Amanda Vergara and
Paige Downer tied for fi rst in
the pole vault clearing 8-06.
Second place fi nishers were:
Hali Thurston in the 400 me-
ter and Peterson in the discus.
Finishing in third place were:
Danielle Duran in the 100
meter; Annabel Guptill in the
1.500 meter; River Harri in
the 100 meter; Alyssa Looney,
Courtney Giessinger, Thur-
ston and Duran in the 4x100;
and Gabby Jackson in the shot

The Junior Varsity Bash
was held Friday, May 8, at
McNary. In that meet, Shawn
Snyder, Tyler Tull, Jake Wyer
and Levi Timmons won the
4x100 meter in 46.39 seconds
for the boys. Allison Repp
won the 3,000 meter for the
girls in 13:14.6.
