FOOTBALL, continued from Page A8 “Our quarterbacks have to do a better job of their pre- snap reads,” Coach Emmert said. “I’m really excited. Both quarterbacks who are com- peting for the varsity starting position are highly intellectual, they know the game, however they are just inexperienced at this level. It will be exciting to see how the summer works out, and who decides to take the lead. With lack of experience in his program Auvinen is really trying to focus on the devel- opment of his players. This year he took it one step fur- ther and brought in some new faces. “We brought the incoming ninth graders [to camp] this year,” Auvinen said, “They are pretty excited about being a part of camp, and we are see- ing all kinds of growth from them.” Both coaches are looking forward to the exciting sum- mer with the incoming ath- letes and the young returners with a little more experience under their belt. “Football is still football,” Emmert said, “Coaches do a good job at this level of mak- ing adjustments and showing you different looks, and we have to do the same.” “I really liked it, liked the guys, liked the campus, liked the coaches,” Cavell said. “All the people I talked to and the places I visited, they were good people, good coaches, good schools, but they just didn’t fi t me as well as Seattle Pacifi c.” Cavell also wanted to go somewhere he could develop with the goal of playing pro- fessionally. “I want to improve and hopefully play pro one day, whether it’s here or in Europe or wherever overseas,” he said. At MHS, Cavell was on the Greater Valley Conference First Team the past two sea- sons and named GVC Player of the Year this season after av- eraging more than 15 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals per game. “Really, it’s a testament to my team and my coaches that put me in that position to be able to show what I can do,” Cavell said. “It was really a tight community and I had strong relationships with my teammates and coaches. I just enjoyed my overall whole ex- perience here.” The Celtics fi nished the 2015-16 season 21-5 and ad- vanced to the state playoffs, where Cavell hit the game- winning shot with 4.2 seconds remaining to edge Tualatin File McNaly seniol Hally Cavell has committed to play his college basketball at Seattle Pacifi c Univelsity. 44-43 in the fi rst round. “Harry has been a tremen- dous member of our program over the last two seasons,” MHS coach Ryan Kirch said. “He is very uniquely gifted with both his skill and men- tal understanding of the game. The last two seasons have been the best back-to-back seasons in school history, and he has obviously been in- fl uential in our success. Not only is he great on the fl oor, but also in the classroom. He represents everything that we Going, going, gone want a member of our pro- gram to represent. We couldn’t be happier about his decision to commit to Seattle Pacifi c. I think it will be a great fi t for him both athletically and aca- demically.” SPU is Division II and plays in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. “I’ve taken care of business in the classroom,” Cavell said. “My parents raised me right. I feel really blessed to have this opportunity to chase my dream. I’m really excited.” Breaking news in Keizer? Find out more at… KEIZERTIMES/Elic A.
