Whiteaker loses to Judson
Whiteaker fell to 0-2 on the young
season, losing 18-14 to Judson in what
head coach Tom Larimer called “one of
the best games I’ve ever been associated
with.”
“Nobody likes to lose,” Larimer said.
“But this was just a great football game.
Our kids got a long and loud standing O
from the Judson crowd after the game—
because these kids were recognized as
competitors and earned their respect.
And our fans were just as positive.”
The head offi cial, a longtime 6A head
referee, commented after the game that
he couldn’t remember a harder fought
youth football game with better sports-
manship from the players, coaches, and
fans on both sides.
After falling behind 12-0 early,
Whiteaker clawed back to lead 14-12 at
half. Judson retook the lead 18-14 early
in the fourth, and was driving to put the
game away, but a fourth down sack by
blitzing outside linebacker Carson Long
gave Whiteaker the ball with 1:30 left
and a chance to win.
The Wolverines drove into Judson
territory and had their chance when re-
ceiver Grant Goesch ran open past the
Judson secondary, but pressure on quar-
terback Porter Vaughn prevented him
from throwing the winning deep ball.
Despite heavy pressure, Vaughn threw
for 178 yards (0 interceptions) and a
touchdown to Long, who led the team
with eight receptions.
“Porter took a beating but hung in
there and threw the ball well,” White-
aker offfensive coordinator Marcus Lar-
imer said. “Carson is proving to us that
he can make impact plays.”
Whitaker also ran the ball well, with
Axel Zapien, Bo Bielby and Felipe Her-
nandez combining for over 4.5 yards per
carry.
Line coach Zach Drake cited the
progress of the linemen, saying “I’m
positive this group of guys will rise up
and continue to grow as football play-
ers.”
Tom Larimer singled out Spencer
Millis and Isaiah McGrath as linemen
who are becoming “not just good play-
ers, but good leaders as well.”
Whiteaker’s defense was a solid team
effort; leading tackler, Long, had seven
stops, but six other players (McGrath,
Vaughn, Millis, Wyatt Paul and Jared
Garibay) each had at least four.
“Just a great football game,” Tom Lar-
imer said. “Judson deserved to win, but
our kids gave them all they could handle.
It was moving to see the Judson players’
and fans’ reaction after the game, recog-
nizing my kids the way they did.”
McNary football goes to Forest Grove
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
McNary (3-1) will go to
Forest Grove (1-3) Friday,
Sept. 29 with one of its lead-
ers on both sides of the ball
standing on the sideline.
Lucas Garvey, the Celtics
leading rusher and top cor-
nerback, suffered a broken
collarbone running the ball
in the fi rst quarter of a 21-7
win at McKay on Friday,
Sept. 22.
McNary head coach Jeff
Auvinen expects Garvey
to be out six weeks and in
the meantime he’ll help the
Celtics as an assistant coach.
In Garvey’s absence, Ju-
nior Walling rushed for 171
yards on 29 carries at McKay.
Freddy Jimna had 31 yards
on eight touches and Robert
Benson added 37 yards on
nine attempts.
“All the running backs
did a nice job,” Auvinen said.
“We’ll continue to use all
three of them.”
On defense, Devyn Schurr
got snaps at cornerback. Ni-
gel Harris will also get a shot
there.
“It might be by commit-
tee. It might be who rises
to the top,” Auvinen said. “I
thought that everyone that
went in for him (Garvey) did
a great job, both offensively
and defensively.”
Some good news on the
injury front—Jonny Williams,
who missed the McKay game
after tweaking his quadri-
cep, was back at practice on
Monday, Sept. 25 and could
also help the Celtics at cor-
nerback.
Lineman Tim Kiser, who
suffered a concussion against
Sprague, is also expected back
soon.
“There’s certain steps you
take on the way to coming
back, maybe make it back this
week,” Auvinen said of Kiser.
“We’ll see where he’s at. I’d
say for sure, next week he’s
available.”
McNary has owned For-
est Grove since the Vikings
entered the Greater Valley
Conference in 2014, winning
all three match ups by a com-
bined score of 107-38.
“They haven’t been great
but they play hard,” Auvinen
said.
“They’ve just made too
many mistakes but if they
clean all of those up, they
could make a game of it. If
they don’t, we’ll take advan-
tage of fumbles and miscues.”
Forest Grove snapped an
11-game losing streak with a
13-6 win over North Salem
on Sept. 8. The Vikings have
been blown out by West Al-
bany, McKay and West Salem.
“They beat North and
North ended up beating West
Albany so anything can hap-
pen in this league,” Auvinen
said. “We just need to con-
centrate on ourselves and get
better every week.”
For McNary, that includes
penalties. The Celtics had 14
for 105 yards at McKay.
“I think that we need to
get better at every facet,”
Auvinen said. “There have
been times when our of-
fense has been really good
and times when our defense
has looked really good and
times when our special teams
looked special. I don’t think
we’ve combined all three in
a game yet. We need to fi nd a
game where they’re all click-
ing and I think that would
really help us in this second
half of the season.”

vor. He was able to connect

tian Lopez was able to capital-
ize a free kick and improved
