YEAR END SALES EVENT KEIZERTIMES.COM Doran era begins with a bang By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes McNary senior Kailey Doutt had an explanation for her performance against Tual- atin on Saturday, Dec. 2, when she reportedly made 15 of 17 shots to fi nish with 32 points. “I was actually 15 for 18. I think they missed one,” said Doutt, who credited her in- credible shooting night to simply putting up more shots everyday in practice. “Last year I didn’t shoot very much from the outside but we’ve been shooting a lot in practice, getting up a ton of shots so I’m more confi dent in my shot and it’s helped a lot,” Dout said. McNary’s hot shooting continued Tuesday, Dec. 5 as the Lady Celts defeated New- berg 49-24 to begin the sea- son 3-0. McNary trailed 6-5 early before going on a fi rst quarter run that ended with a Doutt 3-point play to take a 17-8 lead heading to the second period. The Lady Celts continued to add to their lead in the sec- ond, getting fi ve points from freshmen Leah Doutt and eight off the bench from se- nior Emma Kinler and fresh- men Mackenzie Proctor. Junior Abbie Hawley then banked in a running 3-point- er at the buzzer and McNary entered halftime with a com- manding 33-12 lead. Newberg was held with- out a fi eld goal in the second quarter, scoring its only four KEIZERTIMES/Delek Wiley McNaly seniol Paige Downel, left, scoled 12 points in the Lady Celts 49-24 victoly ovel Newbelg on Tuesday, Dec. 5.

We’re rotating and getting people going where we want them to go. They’re a really fun group to coach.” Leading 47-21, Doran played four freshmen (Doutt, Proctor, Kennedy Buss and Annie-Leigh Besa) in the fi nal fi ve minutes.

Celtics fi nish third at Jerry Lane Invitational By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes McNary wrestling coach Jason Ebbs went into the Jerry Lane Invitational not wor- ried about how many matches his team would win. He just wanted the tenacity he’s seen in practice translate to a match. Ebbs got that and more as the Celtics fi nished 2-1 to place third in the eight-team tournament on Friday, Dec. 1 at McNary High School. “It just so happens that we went 2-1,” Ebbs said. “It just so happens that we lost to Tigard and Milwaukie in this tourna- ment last year and returned the favor and beat them this year. “All in all, I believe the kids responded well. We’re trying to fi gure which of the fi ght responses we’re going to get from the kids—fi ght, fl ight or freeze. By the end of the night we were fi ghting back and once in a while we even had more points than the oth- er guy and it gives us a lot of hope.” McNary opened the tour- nament by defeating Tigard 43-32. After falling to Rose- burg, the eventual tournament champions, the Celtics edged Milwaukie 44-35 for third. Senior Brayden Ebbs and junior Enrique Vincent both went 3-0. Ebbs, who had two pins to go with a major decision, felt comfortable jumping up to 170 pounds. “It was different but it was a good different,” Brayden said. “I felt a lot stronger, for one. I felt like I could move. It was a little bit slower than some of the guys that I’m used to, which was nice. I felt like I was a lot faster than every- body.” In between two pins, Vin- cent had to come from behind to defeat Roseburg senior Thomas Spence 7-5. Getting called for two il- legal slams, Vincent trailed 3-5 going into the third period. “He’s got an amazing ex- plosion of power and his body is starting to catch up with him,” coach Ebbs said of Vin- cent. “By no means was it de- liberate or malicious. You can just see his power. It’s pretty impressive to watch. We’re going to make sure he’s do- ing some technical things to deal with that so that doesn’t happen because that match shouldn’t have been as close.” Please see THIRD, Page 15 By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes McNary boys basketball coach Ryan Kirch said Chan- dler Cavell and Lucas Garvey could have started on most teams last season. In the 2017-18 opener, the two McNary seniors began proving it as Cavell poured in 23 points and Garvey added 16 as the Celtics defeated Grants Pass 68-54 on Thurs- day, Nov. 30. “I’ve been waiting all year for this. I love it. I’m so excit- ed,” said Cavell, who also had six rebounds and fi ve assists. “My teammates ran the lanes and got me open. They’re the reason I got open so much and just staying aggressive.” Cavell scored the fi rst bas- ket of the season a little over a minute into the game but McNary fell behind 8-7 with two minutes remaining in the fi rst quarter. The Celtics then got a spark form its bench as Grif- fi n Oliveira knocked down a 3 and Boston Smith scored in the paint to give McNary the lead for good. “Griffi n, I thought his en- ergy tonight was really good,” Kirch said. “He’s a competitor so he wasn’t scared. Boston, you can just see his potential.” Garvey made his second 3 of the game to stretch the lead to 27-19 with 3:43 remain- ing in the second quarter but Grants Pass kept attacking and the Celtics went into halftime with a narrow 32-28 advan- tage. “The fi rst game is always a little rough,” Kirch said. “For these guys who played varsity in the summer for the fi rst time, it’s different. You could see some nerves. We were pretty ugly there in the fi rst KEIZERTIMES/Delek Wiley McNaly seniol Chandlel Cavell opened the season with 23 points against Glants Pass on Thulsday, Nov. 30. half.” Two quick baskets by Cavell and Garvey stretched the lead back to eight. “We really came together in some key moments and moved the ball around when we needed to,” Garvey said. McNary went into the fourth quarter up 53-43. “In the second half, we made a few adjustments and emphasized what our origi- nal plan was,” Kirch said. “I thought our spacing was re- ally poor, particularity in transition and we weren’t as aggressive as we wanted to be. We did more of what we were trying to do in the sec- ond half.” The Celtics didn’t attempt a free throw in the fi rst half. They went 11-for-14 from behind the line in the second. “It wasn’t because the of- fi cials weren’t calling fouls,” Kirch said. “We weren’t ag- gressive. We always want to have a take it to the rim men- tality and then kick it out for 3s. We settled for just a lot of one pass 3s and we didn’t make them [Grants Pass] guard in the fi rst half.” The Cavemen also shot more free throws in the sec- ond half, making 11 of 16 to remain in the game.
