Callos Vincent, wlestling at 160 and 170 pounds, went 3-0 fol McNaly on Fliday, Dec. 2.
“The win part is great. For
us, I think we’re more con-
cerned with the process of
how we get there,” Kirch said.
“We’ve got a veteran group
here and they’ll tell you right
now we certainly didn’t play
to the best of our ability to-
night. We didn’t defend or
rebound nearly the way we
wanted to. Defensively wasn’t
championship level, not play-
ing the scoreboard but play-
ing possession, I didn’t think
our communication was as
good as it could’ve been and
our awareness of who was
shooting the ball.”
The Celtics open league
play Friday, Dec. 9 at West
Albany. McNary swept the
Bulldogs last season, winning
by a combined score of 129-
80.
“Watching them on fi lm
the other day, they look a lit-
tle more athletic than they’ve
been in the past,” Kirch said.
“I anticipate they’re going to
give us a fi ght. Any time you
go on the road, it’s a diffi cult
place to play. The crowd cre-
ates a lot of energy. We’ll need
to come out and control the
game from the get-go.”

“He’s pretty much a
152-pounder that fi lled
in holes for us,” Ebbs said.
“Probably his greatest match
was the one that he had at
170 pounds against Tigard.
Not only was he giving up a
bunch of weight but it was a
close match. He took a guy
that was bigger than him and
completely controlled the
position and the tempo of the
match the whole time and
just wrestled a good, qual-
ity match without any mis-
takes, just kept himself in the
driver’s seat and won a good
tough match. That was awe-
some.”
At 145 pounds, Bowen
Working won a 14-6 major
decision over Milwaukie’s
Korbyn Amundson and then
got a forfeit victory against
Tigard.
“He’s probably the most
intense guy you can fi nd in
our high school,” Ebbs said.
“He’s got an engine that only
goes at 9,000 RPM so we’re
really happy to have him
around. He’s ready to play a
big role on our team this year.
Three more McNary
wrestlers went 2-1 on Fri-
day—Brayden Ebbs, Wyatt
Kessler and Enrique Vincent.
Ebbs, a junior who won
the Greater Valley Confer-
ence title and placed fourth
in the state at 138 pounds last
season, lost his fi rst match at
152, falling to Milwaukie’s
Matthew Lee by a 12-5 deci-
sion.
“It was a really good match
and Brayden made a couple
of bad decisions in it,” coach
Ebbs said. “I think he certain-
ly has the ability to turn that
back around but he just made
a couple of bad decisions and
gave up 10 points by going to
his back twice and that’s hard
to come back from against
anybody. He’s already prac-
ticed getting that shipped
righted. He’ll be okay by the
time it all comes out. He’s
been around the block be-
fore. He’s lost matches that
he didn’t want to lose before.
He’ll be alright.”
Brayden rebounded by
winning his next two match-
es, getting quick pins over
Romario Ramirez, of Ren-
egade, and Cole McCallister,
of Tigard.
Like Brayden, Enrique
Vincent lost his fi rst match,
9-1, to Milwaukie’s Bryant
Smith but came back to de-
feat Renegade’s Ryan Tran
15-0 and then pin Tigard’s
Brayan Garcia.
At 160, Kessler won his
fi rst two matches, pinning
Milwaukie’s Logan LaPine
and Renegade’s Vinny Peder-
sen. Kessler was then pinned
himself by Parker Kuntz, of
Tigard.
“He’s a good solid wrestler
and once is a while he gets
caught in a real oddball posi-
tion and when that happens,
it’s hard for him to bounce
back,” Ebbs said. “We’re go-
ing to work on keeping him
in good position and not giv-
ing up those back points and
getting put in a spot where
he ends up getting pinned
like that.”
As a team, McNary lost to
Milwaukie 43-34 to open the
tournament. The Celtics then
defeated Renegade 40-24 be-
fore falling to Tigard 45-30 in
the fi fth place match.
McNary forfeited three
weight classes, 113, 195 and
200, totaling 18 points in
each match, choosing to al-
low inexperience wrestlers to
develop in the junior varsity
tournament.
“You’ve got to toss the
coin between winning and
letting a kid develop and get
better,” Ebbs said. “We’re go-
ing to be a really young pro-
gram this year. There’s just no
way we’re going to be able
to get around that. The guys
that were upstairs in the JV
tournament had a phenom-
enal evening. We won lots of
matches. The kids were ex-
cited about the moves they
were doing and the matches
they were doing. That group
of kids came out extremely
excited about wrestling.”
