The Celtic boys edged West Salem 87-83 on Tuesday, Jan. 2 at the Kroc Center. Sophomore Kyle Hooper won the 100-yard freestyle in 54.38 seconds and junior Harrison Vaughn took fi rst in the 100 breaststroke in 1:12 to lead McNary to victory. Vaughn, Grant Biondi, Brock Wyer and Wyatt Sher- wood also won the 200 free relay in 1:42.64. Freshman Bella Beard touched the wall fi rst in the 100 breaststroke in 1:15.63, the 200 free in 2:10.38 and swam on the winning 200 free relay with twin sister Alex, sophomore Alyssa Garvey and senior Haley Debban in 1:51.32. But that was not enough for the Lady Celts to defeat West Salem, who came out on top 95-74. Alex Beard also won the 500 free in 5:43.53 and Deb- ban had the fastest time in the 50 free, fi nishing in 27.68. Alex Beard won two more events on Thursday, Jan. 4 against McMinnville. She took fi rst in the 100 breaststroke in 1:16.65 and the 200 IM in 2:25.24. Hooper again led the boys, winning the 200 IM in 2:13.16 and the 100 free in 54.23. McMinnville swept the meet as a team with the boys winning 119-51 and the girls outscoring McNary 113-57.

KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary sophomore Kyle Hooper won the 200-yard individual medley and the 100 freestyle against McMinnville on Thursday, Jan. 4 in the Kroc Center. CELTS, continued from Page 13 with 1:38 remaining and McNary never looked back. The Lady Celts outscored West Salem 20-11 in the fourth quarter. Downer led the Lady Celts with 13 points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals. Alfaro added 10 points and fi ve rebounds. Emma Kin- ler gave McNary a boost on the boards, pulling down six rebounds to go a long with seven points. Leah Doutt had seven points, four rebounds and four assists. Kailey Doutt had nine points and three re- bounds. “The scoring was very even tonight,” McNary head coach Elizabeth Doran said. “That’s great to see. That’s something that we really haven’t had, a lot of people contributing in scoring and today it was more people contributing, which was awe- some.” After playing too much one-and-one ball in the sec- ond quarter, the Lady Celts did a better job of distribut- ing in the second half. “They (West Salem) made a run and we were back on our heels and turned into more of a one-on-one game,” Doran said. “We talked to them about that at halftime, getting the best shot that we can get as a team instead of trying to go one-on-one.” KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary sophomore Nicolette Parra has started the season 18-3 thanks to hard work and a desire to win. PARRA, continued from Page 13 “I think I got tired of los- ing and I usually go and work out after practice, too,” Parra said. “I don’t want to lose. I shouldn’t be losing. I’ve defi - nitely gained muscle and lost fat. I don’t think I’m a good wrestler. I just think I have a lot of heart.” McNary coach Jason Ebbs has seen a big difference in Para this season. “Between last year and this year, her desire to win has grown tremendously,” Ebbs said. “Last year, she was just all smiles and having a good time and good teammate and all those great things. But this year you can see a different tone to her. She’s coming around and she’s got a lot or promise ahead of her and just looking forward to her oppor- tunities to keep growing.” Para’s goals for the rest of this season include wrestling her way into McNary’s var- sity lineup and then qualifying for the fi rst OSAA sanctioned girls state wrestling tourna- ment. McNary took three girls to Reno. All three placed as Brooke Burrows took fi fth at 100 pounds and Tia Vincent fi nished fi fth at 170. KEIZERTIMES/Derek Wiley McNary freshman Leah Doutt scored seven points to go along with four rebounds and four as- sists in a 52-38 win over West Salem on Friday, Jan. 5. d n a Gr pening Register Now Online FREE T-BALL!
