Doran era begins with a bang

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

points from the free throw
line.
“The girls have totally
bought in to what I’m talking
about defensively and that’s
really cool and I think our de-
fense is surprising people, just
our intensity,” McNary head
coach Elizabeth Doran said.
“They are playing faster. 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

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.”

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

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.
