McNary High School’s
Michael Reyes has a message
for those tempted to read too
much into the boys varsity
soccer team’s recent struggles.
“I want people to know
that it isn’t over. We’re still de-
fending champs from last year.
Not all the games go the way
you want them to, but we’re
still here,” Reyes said.
“We’re still a strong team,
we just need to keep working
on our passes and finishing,”
added Celt Jorge Garcia.
The Celtics lost their last
game of the preseason and
then tied North Salem High
School in their Greater Valley
Conference opener, but the
team was back to its winning
ways in a contest with West
Albany High School Friday,
Oct. 2.
McNary won 5-0 after set-
ting the tone early and often.
In the second minute of the
game, Bryan Keo scored from
about 20 yards out on an assist
by Luis Martinez. Keo assisted
on the next goal by Gustavo
Villalvazo in the fourth min-
ute. Jose Daniel Caballero was
next to the net on an assist by
Keo in the 20th minute, and
Villalvazo scored on a solo
shot in the 36th minute. After
the half, Paulo Reyes scored
on an assist by Martinez in the
70th minute.
“We’ve been working on
keeping possession and being
safe with the ball to create the
bigger chances. That was the
game where we started play-
ing better with our passes,” M.
Reyes said.
Goalkeeper Sebastian Lo-
pez made one save in the
game. Hunter Miller recorded
three.
The next contests in line
for McNary included a road
game with McKay High
School Tuesday, Oct. 6, and a
home game with the GVC-
leading McMinnville Griz-
zlies Thursday, Oct. 8. Mc-
Minnville was the top-ranked
team in the state at press time.
“I want to come out strong
with pressure and get our
passing and finishing on point
in both games,” M. Reyes said.
