MARCH 3, 2017, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 McNary bowlers place second in state By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes McNary bowlers wanted to send senior Nick Blythe out in style by winning a state championship. “We wanted it so badly for him,” head coach Dan Kaplan said. “He’s one of the best around.” The Celtics got mighty close, falling to Mazama High School in the fi nals at King- Pin’s in Portland. After fi nishing third out of 16 teams during 30 qualifying games on Saturday Feb. 25 and Sunday, Feb. 26, McNary won three matches in the winner’s bracket to get to Mazama. Even averaging 220 in the two-game set, the Celtics fell to the loser’s bracket, where they won two more matches to get a rematch with unde- feated Mazama. Having to win twice, Mc- Nary put the pressure on their opponent by winning the fi rst set of games and even led after the fi rst game of the second set but Mazama came back strong to win the state title. The Celtics averaged over 200 in the fi nals. “We gave it all until the very last game,” Kaplan said. “It’s very tough. The com- petition has really improved, amazingly. The energy was unbelievable. We have the greatest parents and support- ers. Parents are screaming and yelling and cheering. That al- ways helps out. We always have people complaining because we’re so loud.” McNary had four bowlers in the top 20 of the all-stars— Nick Blythe, Tim Kiser, Lay- ton Thurlow and Chandler Gregory. Kaplan said at one point Kiser bowled 21 straight strikes. The McNary girls also competed in the state tourna- ment, fi nishing 13th. “It was a learning experi- ence,” Kaplan said. “It’s tough. They had no substitutions.” Kaplan said McNary’s suc- cess wouldn’t be possible without the support of Town & Country Lanes as well as sponsors Thrivent Financial, McNary Booster Club, JC’s Pizzaria, Power Concrete Cut- ting, Keizer Elks, Mr. and Mrs. Sjullie, Maragaret Hughes and Alex Clark. He also thanked the many parents who boost team mo- rale and coordinate buying food for the team. “As coaches, we can’t do it alone,” Kaplan said. Submitted The McNary boys bowling team fi nished second at the high school state tournament in Portland on Saturday, Feb. 25 and Sunday, Feb. 26.

FIRST, continued from Page 8 RIVAL, continued from Page 8 Goff led the McNary of- fense, scoring 20 points to go along with four assists and four rebounds. “I thought Cade Goff played his best basketball four-quarter complete game that he’s played for us in four years,” Kirch said. “I thought his shot selection was out- standing. I thought he was balanced on his 3s and re- ally stepped in and shot in rhythm. He was able to get to the rim off two feet and play through contact and get to the free throw line. I thought he did an excellent job for us.” Neitzel had 15 points and Martin added 10. Claggett Creek, which fi nished the season 5-5, won two matches by major deci- sion, Jacob Carbajal 15-5 at 117 pounds and Logan Yoder 10-0 at 150 pounds. Heavyweight Michael Hettinger won by forfeit. “Whiteaker did a great job. They wrestled tough. They were impressive,” Carr said. “Everyone seemed to know what they were doing. It was enjoyable to just watch wrestling. It was awesome for (McNary head coach Jason) Ebbs to take the time out of the week of the state tour- nament to host us. It will be good to continue that in the next few years. The kids had a great time with the spotlight. The whole atmosphere was awesome.” Along with Villalvazo, KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary senior Alex Martin scored eight points in the fi rst quar- ter of the Celtics fi rst round playoff win. “I’m just really excited, sitting in the locker room, knowing our season is not over, especially as a senior, you kind of think of what it’s going to be like after it ends and I’m glad it’s not over yet,” Martin said.

He almost split my head open.” Vincent then fell behind David Douglas senior Dillon Nunes in the fi rst period but grabbed the lead in the second and held on for a 3-2 victory. “He was stalling and not doing anything and running out of bounds,” Vincent said. “I just had to stay in control.” Vincent fi nished third in the state despite missing most of the season with a knee in- jury. We are Everything Except Overpriced Simple Cremation $795 Inexpensive Burial and Funeral Options Pre-Planning Available KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley Aron Montoya won a 15-5 major decision for Claggett Creek on Thursday, Feb. 23 against Whiteaker. Whiteaker won four other matches by pin fall—Giovan- ni Segura (102), Aiden Mc- Coy (117), Gabriel Castro (140) and Brady Jackson (160). At 80 pounds, Ella Repp won her match 6-3 and Kayly Montero (220) won by forfeit. “Claggett always comes to wrestle and I think that’s the best our kids have wrestled all year,” Hafer said. “I was really, really happy with them.” Whiteaker fi nished the season 8-2. Both the Wolverines and Panthers will take 10-15 kids to the middle school regional tournament in Woodburn on Saturday, March 4. The state tournament is the following Saturday. “It will be good experi- ence for them to see what a real wrestling tournament looks like as opposed to just a dual meet,” Carr said. “Ricky’s got a drive that a lot of kids don’t have nowa- days,” McNary head coach Ja- son Ebbs said. “He goes hard all the time and it frustrates wres- tlers when he goes that hard for as long as he goes. That’s an unique skill set to have. That makes him dangerous. That makes him scary. That makes him hard to wrestle.” It was that drive that helped Vincent rebound after a diffi - cult loss in the semifi nals. “Third place in our sport is really a special prize because of the emotional strain it takes to come back and do that,” Ebbs said. “A lot of guys they lose and they don’t get what they want and it’s emotionally diffi cult and challenging to try to pick yourself back up and perform at a high level after a disap- pointment like that.” At 145 pounds, junior Brayden Ebbs faced that situ- ation. After losing to eventual state champion Ian Carlos, of North Salem, by pin fall in the third period of the quarterfi nals, Ebbs was leading Canby ju- nior Jake Lowry 3-0 when he got caught in a cradle and was pinned again 2:10 into his sec- ond consolation match. “The downside is the emo- tions of a state tournament, against a guy like Brayden who loses a little earlier than he planned,” coach Ebbs said. “Sadly, Brayden did not per- form on Day 2. He just couldn’t make that bounce back.” At 132 pounds, Burrows had state runner-up Joey Coste (Westview) on his back in the quarterfi nals but ultimately came up short, losing a 13-4 major decision. Burrows then lost his fi rst consolation match, 12-6, to Newberg sophomore Joey Moody. Senior Killian Dato also reached the quarterfi nals at 138 pounds. After a bye in the fi rst round, Dato pinned Sher- wood junior Andrew Mabry in the fi rst period. Dato lost in the quarterfi nals by technical fall and was then eliminated af- ter his fi rst consolation match. McNary senior Carlos Vin- cent (152) and junior Jerry Martinez (126) both fi nished the tournament 1-2. Juniors Isaiah Putnam (170) and Blake Norton (285) were 0-2.
