The Celtics then tied the
game on its fi rst possession of
the second half on a 3-yard
touchdown run by Lucas Gar-
vey, who carried the ball eight
times for 41 yards on the drive.
After the Vikings took the
lead back with another long
touchdown run, McNary kick-
er A.J. Johnk kicked a 24-yard
fi eld goal that ended up being
the difference.
In his fi rst start at quarter-
back, Gilbert completed 15 of
26 passes for 245 yards, two
touchdowns and one intercep-
tion.
“I thought he played great,”
Auvinen said. “For him, fi rst
varsity start, he showed great
composure, really threw the
ball well, really directed the of-
fense very well, took command
out there and that’s some of the
things we’ve been seeing, great
competition, but he really the
last week has come into his
own and started to feel com-
fortable.”
Gilbert said he found out
the day before the game he
would start at quarterback after
a competition with fellow se-
nior Tyler Ellertson.
“It’s a best friend competi-
tion,” Gilbert said. “It’s still go-
ing to be a competition. I felt

“That was our expecta-
tion,” Camarena said. “We
worked after the fi rst game
fi nishing on goal. Scoring
seven goals in a soccer game
is not easy so I’m happy with
the performance.”
Javier Zepeda scored his
fi rst of two goals with 27:16
remaining in the fi rst half and
freshman Luis Lopez knocked
in the fi rst goal of his high
school career on an assist from
Keo less than a minute later.
“It’s pretty exciting,” Lopez
said.
“As a freshman, I got pretty
surprised to be starting varsity.
For me to score my fi rst goal
like that, I just felt excitement
going through me. It made me

McNary running back Marc Baiza rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown against North Salem.
like today was a good step up
but there’s a lot of improve-
ments that I still need to make
to be the consistent starting
quarterback here but I just feel
great with the win.”
Garvey rushed for 131 yards
on 28 carries, Baiza had 99
yards on 25 touches and Gilbert
carried the ball nine times for
59 yards.
Van Voorhis was the lead-
ing receiver with six catches
for 131 yards. Josh Benson also
caught six balls for 83 yards.
Debuting its new no-huddle,
a little more pumped, it gave
me a little more energy to
keep playing and keep push-
ing and I just tried to get an-
other goal.”
McNary’s
goalkeepers
had a quiet night as Lebanon
didn’t put a shot on goal un-
til 3:30 remaining in the fi rst
half after Camarena cleared his
bench.
With the starters back in to
start the second half, Zepeda
scored his second goal on an
assist from Ronald Q. Gamble.
Freshman Sebastian Brunk
then netted his fi rst high
school goal with 18:32 re-
maining in the contest.
With only 4:50 left to play,
Villalvazo fi red a shot at the
Lebanon keeper, who was able
to keep the ball in play before
Luis Martinez fi nished the
Celtics fi nal goal of the night.
hurry-up offense, McNary ran
90 plays (64 rushes, 26 passes)
compared to 52 by North Sa-
lem.
“We found it’s easier to start
fast and then we can always ease
back a little bit,” Auvinen said
of the new offense implement-
ed by coordinator Brad Em-
mert. “It’s been a little challeng-
ing for the kids to pick it up but
they’ve worked their butts off at
practice. The goal is at least 80
(plays) and if we can get to 100,
that’s probably a good sign, es-
pecially when you’re playing a
team (North Salem) that’s not
very deep. They have a bunch
of kids playing the whole time
and you could see that they
were getting pretty tired.”
