McNary takes a step
forward at West Linn
By DEREK WILEY
Of the Keizertimes
WEST LINN—Playing
on the road against maybe the
best team in the state, Mc-
Nary (0-2) showed it could
bounce back.
The next step is learning
how to fi nish.
The Celtics got within
one touchdown of West Linn
with 8:51 remaining. But the
Lions closed the game with
21 straight points to run away
with a 55-27 victory.
“It’s a step forward. We
battled. We were right there,”
McNary head coach Jeff
Auvinen said after the game.
“We just kind of shut down
at the end but throughout the
game I think we took a step
forward. We played harder.
We played more aggressively.
There’s still a ton of things
to fi x. Instead of ending on
a bad note, we need to fi n-
ish and compete down the
stretch. We need to grab on
and hold and do whatever we
can, battle and kick until the
fi nal horn.”
After losing their home
opener by 28 points, the
Celtics looked like they were
in for another long night as
West Linn quarterback Ethan
Long threw two quick touch-
down passes to give the Lions
a 13-0 lead with 7:36 remain-
ing in the fi rst quarter. But
McNary responded as Erik
Barker connected with Noah
Bach for a 4-yard touchdown
pass to get the Celtics within
13-7 late in the fi rst.
McNary again appeared
to be out of it as West Linn
stretched its lead to 27-7. But
Barker found Jacob Jackson
for a 13-yard touchdown
just before halftime and then
connected with Devyn Sch-
urr for a 12-yard score to get
the Celtics within 27-21 with
2:57 remaining in the third
quarter.
After Long threw another
touchdown pass, Ryan Bam-
ford converted a fake punt
with a 29-yard strike to Sch-
urr. Barker then hit Junior
Walling on a wheel route
down the McNary sideline
for a 13-yard touchdown to
get the Celtics within 34-27
with 8:51 to go.
But the McNary defense
couldn’t stop Long and a
fumble on their next posses-
sion ended any chance of a
Celtic comeback.
Long, who has committed
to Arizona State, fi nished the
game with 416 yards and six
touchdowns.
“There were times when
we had pretty good cover-
age and he (Long) had a little
window to put it in and he

“I was actually really nervous
beforehand and then as soon as
I got out there, I just kicked it
and did what I normally do in
practice,” Hughes said. “I just
felt so much relief after I got it
in. It was a really nice feeling.”
While being the only girl on
the varsity football team “felt
a little bit odd” at fi rst, it now
feels “totally normal.”
When deciding to play foot-
ball, Hughes did have to give
up cross country. She won’t run
track in the spring either to
make time for music as Hughes
also plays violin in McNary’s
top orchestra.

Jovanie Bravo scored two goals in the fi rst half to

and a touchdown at West Linn on Friday, Sept. 7.
put it right in there,” Auvinen
said. “That was frustrating. We
had a couple of big coverage
break downs, which really
hurt us.”
McNary was able to create
two turnovers as Jackson and
Nigel Harris each picked off
Long in the second half.
Barker passed for 222 yards,
four touchdowns to four dif-
ferent receivers and one in-
terception, trying to make a
play with McNary down 48-
27 with 2:36 remaining.
“Erik made some very
nice plays,” Auvinen said. “He
made some plays out of noth-
ing, which is the fi rst time
I’ve seen that. He’s defi nitely
improved his running skills.
The offense played really well.
I thought the line looked re-
ally good. I thought our run-
ning backs ran well.”
Walling rushed for 85 yards
to lead the Celtics on the
ground.
McNary plays at Tualatin
(2-0) on Friday, Sept. 14 at 7
p.m. The Timberwolves are
coming off a 36-28 win over
Oregon City.
“It will defi nitely toughen
us up these good teams we’re
playing,” Auvinen said.
