Neitzel led the team with 16 points in McNary’s fi nal game of the tournament, a 68- 62 win over Mountain View High School. The Cougars are the No. 2-ranked team in the OSAA 5A classifi cation. Mathew Ismay had 14 points and C. Cavell had 11. “Multiple guys did good things. Both Easton and Chan- dler really shot the ball well from the perimiter, but Trent (Van Cleave) really played his best ball of the season and at the level that he fi nished off at last season. As a team, we de- fended pretty well,” Kirch said. (Continued from Page A10) KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Celt Mathew Ismay tries to get a look at the rim past a South Salem defender.

We know that we can com- pete now, and going forward into the playoffs it should help us,” said Derick Handley, Mc- Nary head coach. The Keizer girls started the Shootout with 57-41 win over St. Mary’s, last year’s second place 6A team. St. Mary’s had graduated several key play- ers, but McNary’s depth and a standout defensive effort by sophomore Kailey Doutt helped the team pull away. “They have a girl, Bendu Yeaney, who can score with anybody in the state. Kailey clamped down on defense in the second half and was able to hold her to three points, which essentially stalled their offense,” Handley said. He also credited Kaelie Flores with carrying the team through a diffi cult fi rst half shootingwise. McNary drew Oregon City in the second round and strug- gled to overcome the Pioneer’s press in the fi rst half. “We got it within 10 points at halftime, but we ran out of 1:05.65; Marissa Kuch in the 500 free in 5:18.32; Eckert, Briones, Abby McCoy and Kuch in the 200 free relay in 1:54.28; Kuch in the 100 backstroke in 1:07.91; Kiones in the 100 breaststroke in 1:22.47; and Eckert, Hannah Corpe, McCoy and Kuch in the 400 free relay in 4:12.10.
