NOVEMBER 4, 2016, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A11 Lady Celts season ends at Sunset By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes Three of the top 12 teams in the state, West Salem, South Salem and Sprague, came out of the Greater Valley Confer- ence. But when asked if Sun- set was the best his girls have faced, McNary head coach Bruce Myers needed only a couple seconds to answer— “I’d say yes, that’s the best team we’ve played.” The Lady Apollos ended McNary’s season on Wednes- day, Oct. 26, defeating the Lady Celts 3-1 in the fi rst round of the OSAA state play- offs. “I was extremely pleased. We played extremely hard, just a couple little things didn’t go our way,” Myers said. “You have to credit Sunset. They’re an awfully good volleyball team.” The Lady Apollos, led by college-bound seniors Emily DeMots and Rachel Santos as well as sophomore Sophie Summers, who played on the Sunset won the third and fourth sets 25-15 and 25-20 to move on in the state tour- nament. “They made some adjust- ments and they’re really good when they’re out of system because they’re so tall,” Myers said. “They can just hit right over our block. A lot of times we were in the right place do- ing the right thing, they just hit over us.” Senior outside hitter Syd- ney Hunter led the McNary attack with 19 kills. She also had three digs and three blocks. Valerie Diede had six kills and two blocks. Shaylee Wil- liams added six kills and Sa- mantha Van Voorhis had 33 assists. The Lady Celts fi nished 13-14 in Myers’ fi rst season as head coach. “I have wonderful kids,” he said. “They worked their butts off. They came everyday to practice to work hard and to do their best.” U.S.A. Youth National Team during the summer, went 17-7 during the regular sea- son and fi nished second in the loaded Metro League, which was won by No.1-ranked Je- suit. “They’re so tall,” Myers said of Sunset. “They have at least two Division-I volleyball play- ers and four other small col- lege players. They have an ex- tremely good setter and they can attack the net from side- line to sideline and not only that their libero is extremely good.” The Lady Appollos took the fi rst set 25-19. “They jumped out on us real quick but we stayed even with them, we battled with them, once we calmed down and started playing,” Myers said. “We just couldn’t make up the ground.” But the Lady Celts re- bounded to win the second game 25-23. “We served them very as- sertively and we got them out of system,” Myers said. File McNary senior Sydney Hunter led the Lady Celts with 19 kills in a 3-1 loss to Sunset in the fi rst round of the state playoffs on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

Nash said. “We lost that nec- essary defensive player.” Sherwood went on to score three goals in the fi rst 40 min- utes. “I think we were a little nervous going in but the sentiment of the girls at half- time was they weren’t nearly as scary as we thought they might be,” Nash said. The Lady Bowmens, who entered the game 11-2-1 af- ter winning the Three Rivers League, added four more goals in the second half. “I’ll tip my hat to Sher- wood,” Nash said. “We got to play one of the best teams in the state. We were playing a team that was overwhelm- ingly seniors that had been playing together since they were 10. Even though the scoreline seems a little bit lop- sided, we kept up with them The best teams in the state get fi rst pick of the toughest schedules so the more Mc- Nary improves, the better the Lady Celts schedule will be in the future. “We ask to play the tough- est teams in the state every year,” Nash said. “Every coach does. That’s just what you do. The problem is the toughest teams in the state are asking for that same schedule. We made the playoffs and fi nished with a winning record, 8-5-3, so we should be able to com- mand a tougher schedule. The ship can’t turn course in a year. As a coach I’ve been strug- gling for an answer on how do you get those non-league games and the answer is you have to earn them.” for the fi rst 20 minutes and we battled hard to the very end. It was great experience. Next year when we get back to the dance, we’ll be more prepared.” Part of that preparation in- cludes scheduling tougher op- ponents. Sherwood was the fi rst team in the top 10 McNary played this season. Greater Val- ley conference champion West Albany was 13 th . West Salem was 17 th and both also lost in the fi rst round of the playoffs. During non-league action, the Lady Celts played only two teams that made the post- season the year before, Tigard and Gresham, and only Tigard were in the playoffs this season and also didn’t make it past the fi rst round. “We need to play more games like this preseason to be ready for that kind of test,” Nash said. “That was the fi rst test of its kind that we’ve had as a program in recent history and the more opportunities that we get to play teams of that caliber, the better we’ll be prepared when it matters most.” Breaking news in Keizer?
