“There’s not one that has
a leg up on the other one,”
Minyard said of the quarter-
back competition in early Au-
gust.
Like most programs around
the state, Sprague also doesn’t
have the depth it’s had in pre-
vious seasons, with between
90-100 kids in the program
compared to the usual 120-
130.
But Minyard likes what
he’s seen from the players this
summer.
“We had great turnouts
in our workouts and they’re
excited for football,” he said.
“That can do a lot of good
things for a team. They’re just
awesome to coach. They’re
great kids.”
The Olympians will get
tested early with games against
Liberty, Lakeridge and Central
Catholic to open the season.
All three were playoff teams a
year ago with Central Catho-
lic advancing to the quarterfi -
nals, falling by three points to
state champion Clackamas.
“We’ll defi nitely fi nd out
pretty quick how good we
are,” Minyard said.
North Medford at McNary, Aug. 31
The Celtics open the 2018 season against a
familiar opponent. McNary and North Med-
ford have met the previous two seasons with the
Black Tornado winning 38-17 in 2016 and the
Celtics racking up over
500 yards on offense on
their way to a 40-20 vic-
tory last October. The last
time these two teams met
to open the season, 2013,
McNary won 20-13.
should have this one circled on the schedule.
North Salem at McKay, Sept. 28
The Vikings and Royal Scots meet after both
moving down to 5A. While North Salem has
won four of the last fi ve matchups, McKay ran
away with the 2016 game,
winning 35-9.

games
Bend at West Salem,
Sept. 7
The Titans are the
fi rst Salem-Keizer team
to play one of the Bend
high schools, although in a
non-league game. This will be the fi rst oppor-
tunity fans have to see how Bend stacks up after
moving from 5A to 6A. The Lava Bears fi nished
5-5 last season.
to watch
Central Catholic at Sprague, Sept. 14
The 2013 and 2014 state champions and
2016 state runner-up will test a young Olympi-
ans team, who only returns three starters from
last season’s squad that fi nished 9-2 overall and
7-1 in league play.
Sheldon at West Salem, Sept. 21
One of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in
the country, Michael Johnson Jr., a Penn State
commit, comes to West Salem. Sheldon, which
has outscored the Titans 76-15 over the last
two seasons, also has tight end Patrick Herbert,
a four-star recruit, who will follow his older
brother Justin to the University of Oregon.
Sprague at South Salem, Sept. 21
While the game won’t technically count in
the league standings, bragging rights are always
at stake for these two schools, located about 3
miles apart. Sprague and South Salem have each
won twice over the last four years. Both teams

South Medford at McNary,
Sept. 28
The Panthers, which lost to
Clackamas by one point, 31-
30, in the 6A state champion-
ship game last season, come
to Keizer for McNary’s fi nal
non-league game.
Sprague at McNary, Oct. 5
After losing 62-6 and 50-
21 the last two seasons, the Celtics will defi -
nitely have this game circled. McNary hasn’t
defeated Sprague since a 34-33 thriller in 2014
but the Olympians are younger and more inex-
perienced than they have been in years.
McNary at Bend, Oct. 12
The Celtics make their one and only trip
down the Santiam Pass to play Bend in a new
Mountain Valley Conference matchup.
Mountain View at Sprague, Oct. 19
The Cougars, who were 11-0 last season be-
fore falling to Churchill in the semifi nals of the
5A state playoffs, make their fi rst trip to Salem.
South Salem at McNary, Oct. 26
The Celtics fi nish the regular season against
one of their biggest rivals after winning last sea-
son for the fi rst time since 2013.
West Salem at Sprague, Oct. 26
The Olympians have only lost a combined
two league games over the past two seasons but
both loses came to West Salem. Sprague will be
looking for revenge as it closes out the season
at home.
