The girls’ standings were the closest with the Vikings edging McNary 93-71. Alyssa Garvey, Emma Gar- land, Emily Alger, and Haley Debban won the 200 yard free relay in 1:54.53. Debban fin- ished second in the 50 free in 27.25, followed by Garvey in third in 27.66. Freshmen twins Alex and Bella Beard were limited due to a club meet the following weekend but were still able to make their mark. Alex won the 100 back- stroke in 1:08.48. Bella and Alex also took first and sec- ond in the 50 free junior var- sity race in 27.40 and 27.53, respectively. “Considering our short amount of time in the pool, I thought we looked good,” McNary head coach Casey Lewin said. “It will be exciting to see how we improve.” McNary’s boys, which lost 101.5-58.5, were missing club swimmers Kyle Hopper and Harrison Vaughn. Grant Biondi, Brock Wyer, Wyatt Sherwood and Jabez Rhoades won the 200 free re- lay in 1:44.32, edging Forest Grove by less than a second.

THIRD, continued from Page 14 Vincent said he just had to keep his composure. “I knew it was going to be tough and it definitely was,” Vincent said. “I tried to keep my cool and just calm down and think about what I needed to do. I kind of shut down for a sec- ond. I waited until the last second to get ahead because there was no way I was going to be able to hold him down for a minute. I’m out of shape still. I just waited until the last 30 seconds, took him down, got lucky and got a near fall to win the match.” At 106 pounds, McNary freshman Grady Burrows went 2-1, earning a 16-12 devision to open the tournament and finishing it with a pin in the first period. “It’s always nerve-wracking to send a freshman out in the lineup,” coach Ebbs said. “If I had my way, I might not ever do it because there’s so many other factors that play into that with the confidence and the strength and the develop- ment. I believed in him and he got after it and that speaks to his years that he spent com- ing up through (Celtic) Mat Club.” Noah Grunberg (145), Garrett Wampler (182), and Randal Nordberg (195) all went 2-1 as well, each getting a win by forfeit. At 220 pounds, sophomore Anthony Garcia Reyes earned a pin in his first match before dropping the next two. “His confidence is pretty high and I’m pretty proud of him,” coach Ebbs said of Reyes. “He ran into a couple big, mean guys after that, that reminded him that we’re not done getting better yet.” McNary hosted its first Greater Valley Conference dual on Thursday, Dec. 7 against McMinnville and then travels to Silverton for a tour- nament on Saturday, Dec. 9. game, there’s some nerves as- sociated with that but I think they’ve stepped up, especially Leah, you wouldn’t know anymore,” Doran said. “The first game you could kind of tell but these last two games she’s really comfortable out there, played really hard, been great defensively for us and of- fensively. She made some re- ally great passes.” Kailey Doutt and Paige Downer led the scoring, each finishing with 12 points. The Lady Celts began the season with a 56-24 win at Barlow on Thursday, Nov. 30. Kailey Doutt had 20 points, 11 rebounds and three steals. Downer finished with 11 points, four rebounds and four steals. Hawley added nine points and three assists.

We’ve just got to get better.” Kirch played 10 different guys with eight getting in the scorer’s book. Senior guard Andrew Jones had eight points. Noah Hudkins added six points and eight rebounds in the post. “Noah’s done a really good job for us,” Kirch said. “He’s very smart. He’s not real flashy but he’s effective. He made a real nice tip pass on an offensive rebound. For the most part he was able to play without fouling. He shoots a high percentage. In fact, we probably need to get him the KEIZERTIMES/Delek Wiley McNaly seniol Andlew Jones scoled eight points against Glants Pass on Thulsday, Nov. 30. ball a little bit more.
