The Warriors had won a game the previous night with more than 50 points, but de- fensive efforts on the part of the Celtics bottled up Kame- hameha shooters, particularly late in the game. Kamehameha started the game with a 5-0 lead, but a bucket by senior Madi Hingston and two by Sydney Hunter put the Keizer team back in control. McNary held onto the lead until midway through the second quarter when the Warriors knotted the score 15-15 with 4:53 to go in the half. “The good thing was that Handley knew their coach and we knew they would be a high-intensity team go- ing into it,” said Celt Kailey Doutt. A three-pointer by Ka- mehameha put it in the lead briefl y, but a pair of shots by Celt Kaelie Flores put Mc- Nary ahead again. In the third frame, a pair of shots from the foul line by Hingston gave McNary a four-point lead, but scrappy play by the Warriors allowed them to tie the game again, this time at 25-25. McNary regained the lead on a two- point shot by Celt Jaylene Montano with a minute to go in the quarter. In the fourth quarter, Mc- Nary shot its last fi ve points of the night from the foul line. The Warriors got off a three-pointer four seconds from the fi nal buzzer for the “I let him get me in a posi- tion I shouldn’t have,” Phelps said. “For the most part, I took quick shots and stayed aggres- sive.” Ebbs said Keifer Smith, Kyle Bonn and freshman Ricky Vincent all performed well even if they didn’t end up with more wins. “Ricky went 1-2 and came real close in his Roseburg match. He competed overall and didn’t back down,” Ebbs said. Phelps said the top of the list for improvements was de- fensive strategies. Commuter Coupon KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Celt Noah Grunberg tries to free himself from the grip of a Dal- las High School opponent. “Our offense is pretty de- cent, but our defense is what killed us. We kept making mistakes and the opponents were able to capitalize on it all day long,” he said. BOYS: ‘We’re out to prove something.’ While Kirch and the play- ers were happy with the out- comes of the fi rst games, they knew their was still room to grow. “We have to do a better job of getting to the rim. We set ourselves up for outside shots a little too often when we had other options,” Kirch said. (Continued from Page A12) KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.

Now we have to pull back a little bit. It was a problem, but a fi xable problem, and I’d rather be in this position than having to amp them up,” Handley said. After focusing on defense in practices running up to the fi rst game, Doutt said she was happy to see the payoff against the Warriors. “Our defense was very good and it was defensive game.
