sons Handley scheduled the
match.
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.

While Kirch and the play-

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.

“I think it was a great fi rst
game because they were a re-

no. “It set us up for the season
ahead to know where we can
be this in the league and in
the state playoffs.”
The one hiccup in the
Celtics’ gameplan for the
night was ball security. While
McNary limited turnovers to
six in the fi rst half, some in-

the girls were doing. Now we
have to pull back a little bit.
It was a problem, but a fi xable

After focusing on defense
in practices running up to the

happy to see the payoff against

we’ve been working on,”
