But that’s not what has head coach AJ Nash ex- cited about the upcoming fall season. “There’s three rules in sum- mer league soccer and they’re don’t get hurt, don’t get hurt, don’t get hurt,” Nash said. “It means nothing. It’s just to stay fi t and it’s more recreational in nature. It’s meant for fi tness and relationship development, not for adding to the trophy collection. That trophy is not the one we care about.” Instead, Nash’s takeaway was how many girls came out for the 4-H league, including 20 freshmen. Last summer, McNary had 36 players between the two teams. This year, the Lady Celts had 45. Adding the girls that played club or other sports and Nash is expecting around 65 to tryout this fall. “A strong freshmen class, that’s the highlight,” Nash said. “We’ve got another strong in- Submitted LEFT: Jessy Shore, an incoming senior at McNary, played for the Lady Celts, which placed second in the 4-H league this summer.

Jaime Gonzalez coached the older team, which fi n- ished fourth in league play but upset No. 1 Sprague 3-2 on a last second goal by incom- ing sophomore Julie Dieker in the semifi nals. Dieker and Abbie Hawley had the Lady Celts other two goals. Dieker and Hawley each struck again in the championship game but McNary lost to South Salem 3-2 on penalty kicks. “It’s not really a representa- tion of how the season is going to go because there’s a whole lot of players missing,” Nash said. “However, I was pleased with how both teams played this summer.” McNary’s boys defeated South Albany 4-2 in penalty kicks on Thursday, July 20 to place third in the 4-H league. After a 0-0 tie, Miguel Bra- vo, Francisco Rios, Luis Lopez and Michael Reyes each scored goals. Goalkeeper Alejandro Villarreal saved two penalty kicks to seal the victory. Tryouts for both programs begin Aug. 14. Blue Day is Aug. 19.

By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes McNary’s mission was to get to the fi nal day of the state baseball tournament at West- ern Oregon University. The Celtics just missed it, falling to West Salem 9-4 in an elimination game on Saturday, July 22. “It was a good summer,” McNary head coach Larry Keeker said. “Our main goal is we’re trying to get better as individuals and trying to get better as a team and build- ing chemistry throughout the summer. The kids did a good job of that. Once we get to the state tournament, we’re trying to play on the last day. We were just one day short. All and all, the coaching staff felt good about the summer.” The Celtics fi nished 9-4 and placed third in league play during the summer. McNary then opened the state tour- nament on Thursday, July 20 with a 6-4 victory over Thur- ston. Kyle McCallister pitched all seven innings to earn the win. In the second round, the Celtics fell behind early to Churchill on a two-out dou- ble with the bases loaded. Ja- cob Jackson had a two-RBI double of his own to get Mc- Nary within striking distance before the Celtics lost 5-2 on Friday. Please see STATE, Page 45
