others.
This isn’t the fi rst time Co-
burn, who founded the Keizer
Volleyball Club in 1997, has
won an award. Among other
awards, he was named the Or-
egon Middle School Coach of
the Year in 2006 and again in
2012, plus he was the assistant
coach of the year for the area
in his last year at McNary in
2009. He was also a Crystal
Apple Award fi nalist in 2014
and a Service to Education fi -
nalist by the Keizer Chamber
of Commerce in 2015.
“This one is defi nitely a
highlight of the 38 years,” Co-
burn said on Monday. “This is
a big one. Plus I got to spend
the night with my wife and

kids. When you’re busy coach-

much.”
As an example of how long
he’s been coaching, Coburn
noted he is now coaching the
children of former students.
As for current students, they
gave him a royal welcome

McNary senior Krissy Kelty prepares to return a shot in action against West Linn on Friday, April
1. MHS lost the match 7-1.
The McNary High School girls tennis team was swept by West Albany on March 29.
The top three singles players for the Lady Celts – Hannah Childress, Krissy Kelty and Jannicke
Martin – all fell 6-3 in their fi rst sets before also losing the second set. Martin came closest to win-
ning a set, falling 7-5 in her second set.
“The girls played timid, especially if they got down early in the match,” coach Garrett Jensen
said. “West Albany is one of the top teams in the conference and I think that impacted the mental-
ity of some of our girls.”
Jensen said Martin played well.
“She wasn’t able to close the second set after she was up 5-2,” Jensen said. “However, I was
impressed with her play.”
Each of the four doubles teams struggled.
“We really need to work on our doubles strategy,” Jensen said. “We look lost on the court and
the girls need to do a better job at communicating with each other. We have some work to do and
a lot of that starts with me. However, I see a lot of potential for growth this season.”

Q: What types of glass can be recycled?
back to Whiteaker on Monday.
“The kids started applaud-
ing,” Coburn said. “They all
wanted to touch the check.
They were all very happy and
excited about it.”
Coburn’s plans for the
money should make the stu-
dents excited as well.
“I will probably use the
money for something like new
uniforms,” he said. “We’ll fi nd
something that will affect the
most kids possible. I’m not one
to do a one-time thing like use
the money to enter a tourna-
ment.”
