The Saxons only needed four as South Salem quarterback Harrison Broadus connected with Gavin Baugh- man for a 51-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. McNary then fumbled the kickoff and South Salem again made the Celtics pay as Broa- dus found Diego Fuimaono wide open in the end zone for a 11-yard score. Trailing 34-20 with only 6:28 remaining in the game, Gilbert and Van Voorhis again connected for a touchdown, this time from 38 yards, to give McNary a chance. The Celtics then recovered a South Salem fumble and took possession at their oppo- nent’s 14-yard line with 5:12 left to play. On fi rst-and-goal from the 3, Gilbert fought his way into the end zone but the touch- down was negated on an ille- gal procedure penalty. On third down from the 2-yard line, Gilbert’s number was called again but trying to reach the ball over the goal HUGE, continued from Page 10 Alfano could tell imme- diately the competition was tougher. “They pressed a lot more and they were just a lot more patient compared to the other teams we’ve played,” she said. But with the win, Mc- Nary’s confi dence continues to grow. “No matter what team we go up against, it doesn’t matter, we’re convinced we’re going to win,” Alfano said. “We feel like we can take anyone on at this point.” The Lady Celts will soon fi nd out when they open con- ference play against last sea- son’s league champions, West Marc Baiza Josiah Gilbert Lucas Garvey AJ Johnk Xavier Martinez TOTALS CARRIES 32 19 31 4 2 64 YARDS 118 92 140 13 10 291 TD 1 2 1 0 0 3 C/ATT 35/61 YARDS 520 TD 5 REC 16 1 8 2 3 4 1 YARDS 171 12 227 23 20 65 6 TD 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 PATs 6/6 FG 1/1 LONG 25 yds PASSING Josiah Gilbert RECEIVING Josh Benson Brody Nepstad Brendan Van Voorhis Kyle McCallister Marc Baiza Lucas Garvey AJ Johnk KICKING AJ Johnk INT 1 KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley Lucas Garvey took a screen pass 47 yards to set up a McNary touchdown just before halftime of a 34-29 loss to South Salem on Friday, Sept. 9. line he fumbled and the Sax- ons recovered in the end zone for a touchback. McNary’s defense stopped South Salem on third-and-2, tackling Broadus for a 3-yard loss to force fourth down and give the offense enough time to come back down the fi eld. However, on the punt, the Celtics were penalized for having too many men on the Salem, at home on Thursday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. McNary boys fall The Celts gave one of the best teams in the state all it could handle before allowing two goals in the fi nal 20 min- utes to fall to Grant 2-0 on the road Thursday, Sept. 8. McNary had three chances to score in the fi rst half, one shot went right to the keeper, one just missed the goal and another hit the post. “We’re creating opportuni- ties, which is fantastic,” head coach Miguel Camarena said. “We just need to make sure we put them in the net.” The Celtics also open con- ference play against a tough West Salem side Thursday, Sept. 22 but on the road. The Titans were the state runner-up last season. fi eld, which gave the Saxons a fi rst down. Wanting an explanation, Auvinen was then issued a 15- yard personal foul for not get- ting off the fi eld. South Salem was able to run the clock down to fi ve seconds and on fourth down Broadus took the snap and ran out of the end zone for a safe- ty to make the score 34-29. With two seconds to play, the Saxons kicked off to Mc- Nary. The Celtics tried to lat- eral the ball across the fi eld but the play was intercepted, end- ing the game. “There’s going to be 10 kids and 10 coaches prob- ably that wake up seeing (a different deciding) play in their mind’s eye, at least one,” Auvinen said. “I have a feeling I might have multiple plays that I end up seeing. It’s just a matter of being a little bit green. Our experience is not great and so under that Friday night lights, that pressure can be, so I think these fi rst two games have been good for us. It would be great to be 2-0 but with that being said, there’s a ton of learning there. As long as we can keep getting better. Like I told the kids, the season is not made in week two. The season is made in week seven, eight, nine, 10 and beyond that. Limit the mistakes, clean it up, continue to play hard and great things can happen.” Gilbert threw for 275 yards, rushed for 33 and scored all four touchdowns. Josh Benson caught 10 passes for 84 yards. McNary’s four running backs, Johnk, Marc Baiza, Lucas Garvey and Xavier Martinez combined to rush for just 49 yards. SWEEP, continued from Page 10 the Vikings. “I thought we played well after we got started,” Lady Celts coach Bruce Myers said. “In set two, I thought we played very well and then we lost our focus for set three. We allowed them to stay with us. We were not inside the lines. We were worried about too many things outside so we need to take care of that.” Sydney Hunter had 10 of McNary’s 27 kills and four of the team’s 15 aces. Valerie Die- de had fi ve kills and three aces while Shaylee Williams added six kills. Jaylene Montano chipped in with seven digs and Sophia Salinas had fi ve aces. “We served well and we kept them out of system,” My- ers said. “That’s really big for us to keep them out of system. We did a really good job of at- tacking also. We need to con- tinue to work on our timing in the middle. Our timing is not very good and we’ve got to re- ally work on that.” McNary fell behind 3-8 in the fi rst set before winning seven of the next eight points to take a 10-9 lead it wouldn’t relinquish. The second game was nev- er in doubt as the Lady Celts jumped out to a 13-6 advan- tage. McNary came out lacka- daisical again in the fi nal set, losing the fi rst four points but quickly recovered to put away KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary senior Kayla Evans scored the Lady Celts fi rst goal against Gresham on a corner kick from Gina Munguia in the 25th minute. crossword CALL 503.390.1051 BETTER THAN NEW WITH A CLASSIC TOUCH BEFORE AFTER FREE ESTIMATES 503.393.2875 remodelkeizer.com CCB#155626 EXPERIENCE • PROFESSIONALISM • TRUSTWORTHINESS
