Coach Nick
retires
In ways big and small, few
coaches will be as lucky to
leave as indelible a mark on
McNary High School as Craig
Nicholas.
For more than 30 years,
Nicholas served as coach or
assistant coach on numer-
ous teams at the school. With
a manner sometimes gruff,
even frightening some might
say, Nicholas led the McNary
baseball team to two state title
games and one state title. He
was also defensive coordina-
tor for both of McNary’s state
football title teams.
He said his lessons for the
fi eld were the same as the ones
he tried to impart in his class-
room.
“We end up with a lot of
kids who either don’t want to
work hard or don’t know they
can. Teaching them that they
could work hard was the one
thing I knew I could do,” he
said.

was an easy sport.

Castaneda tells a differ-
ent story, “There was no easy
match. Every kid at a tourna-
ment is tough.”
On March 14, the 13-year-
old won the Oregon Middle
School State Tournament. In
February, he took second in
the OWA Kids State Folk-
style Tournament and won the
Rumble in Reno Feb. 28. The
win at the Rumble earned
him an actual pro-wrestling
style belt and came in only his
second year competing at the
annual tourney.

Boys take loss to Rams
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
“A perfect storm” ended
in the fi rst loss of the season
for the McNary High School
boys varsity basketball team.
The Celtics traveled to
Central Catholic High School
Tuesday, Dec. 22, and the
Rams dealt them a 75-47 loss.
“It was a seven-point game
at half, but they did a real nice
job using their athleticism to
create turnovers, we had 20
of them. We also didn’t han-
dle the pressure as well as we
would have liked. Combined
with that, they hit some very
diffi cult and deep shots (12
of 19) from three,” said Ryan
Kirch, McNary head coach.
Kirch thought part of the
issue was simple exhaustion.
The boys played three games
in fi ve days, and against some
stiff competition.
Things started out looking
bright for McNary. The Celts
ran up an 8-2 lead to start
the game, but then their shots
stopped falling.
“We were 3 of 20 from
three, and didn’t do a good job
getting back in transition after
the misses. I thought we were
a little rushed in our shot se-
lection instead of working to
shift the defense, and we didn’t
put ourselves in position for
many offensive rebounds,”
Kirch said.
McNary, which was ranked
sixth in the state headed
into the game, fell to 11th in
OSAA 6A rankings on the
loss. Fortunately, the loss did
not affect the Celts’ Greater
Valley Conference position.
The Keizer team is currently
tied for fi rst with South Salem
High School. The conference
leader will likely be decided

in a game between the two
teams at McNary Tuesday, Jan.
5. Game time is 6:45 p.m.
Prior to the Central Catho-
lic loss, McNary pounded out
a 76-52 win over Sherwood
High School Monday, Dec. 21.
“I thought the Sherwood
game went well, particularly
the second half. We really
shared the ball well and had a
high number of assists which
led to a high shooting per-
centage,” Kirch said.
The Celts edged the vis-
iting Bowmen 16-14 in the
fi rst frame and put together
three 20-point quarters for
the win. Senior Harry Cavell
led scoring with 20 points
and nine rebounds. Trent Van
Cleave had 13 points, three
rebounds and four assists. Ju-
nior Mathew Ismay had 12
points, six rebounds and three
assists.
