Kintner was the fi nal indi-
vidual athlete that was honored.
Kintner was a standout football
and basketball player for the
Celtics from 1994 to 1998 and
ended his career as one of the
most decorated athletes in Mc-
Nary history.
Kintner was a fi rst-team all-
league receiver and safety in
1996 and 1997 and was the Of-
fensive Player of the Year in the
Valley League. Kintner also re-
ceived fi rst-team all-state hon-
ors at both positions and played
a pivotal role in McNary’s fi rst
football state championship in
1997.
On the basketball fl oor, Kint-
ner was just as dominant, earn-
ing fi rst-team all-league honors
in 1997 and 1998. Additionally,
he was named to the fi rst-team
all-state squad in 1998.
Kintner was the Salem
Sports and Breakfast Club Ath-
lete of the Week multiple times,
as well as the Senior Athlete of
the Year. He also was the KATU
Oregon State Athlete of the
Year in 1998.
After his career at McNary,
Kintner played receiver at Or-
egon State University from
1998-2002. He ended his career
with the Beavers with 47 catch-
es for 627 yards and six touch-
downs.
“It’s nostalgic. I’ve visited
with a ton of people here that
I haven’t seen in a very long
time,” Kintner said. “I don’t
remember a lot of particular
games. It all happens in a blur.
But what I do remember are
the people. I could tell you a
million different stories about a
bunch of different people in this
room. I remember the people
and the experiences more than
anything.”
McNary’s 2009 state cham-
pionship baseball team was the
last honoree of the evening.
Their team roster included
Sheldon Austria, Jake Burgess,
Justin Burgess, Sean Curry, Tay-
lor Jones, Jordan Keeker, Bri-
an Kottek, Zach Moeller, Alex
Oesterblad, Zack Olpet, Austin
Owings, Nick Phillips, Taylor
Shepard, Scott Stoddard, Spen-
cer Tejedas, Garrett Van Cleave,
Jared Van Cleave and Jackson
Wilde.
After reaching the postsea-
son, the Celtics — led by 2009
Oregon Coach of the Year
Craig Nicholson — easily won
their fi rst two playoff games.
McNary defeated Tualatin 12-8
in the quarterfi nals and then
beat Tualatin 5-4 in the semis to
reach the title game, where they
would face off against Rose-
burg.
A dominant seven-inning
pitching performance from
Moeller allowed the Celtics to
defeat Roseburg 5-1 to claim
the state crown.
“It’s all about family. Keizer
is just a big family. The com-
munity supports their players so
well. We were just a byproduct
of that,” Garrett Van Cleave said.
“This team was a brotherhood.
We were willing to run through
a brick wall for one another and
that bond couldn’t be broken.”
McNary is expected to make
more frequent hall of fame in-
ductions in the coming years
and has another ceremony
scheduled in October.
“We have a lot of great teams,
great athletes and great coaches
who haven’t been honored yet
that need to get honored,” Jes-
peresen said.

only one out on a fl y ball to the
outfi eld.
“We made some bad
base-running mistakes,” Keeker
said. “Those are mental things
that are disappointing to see.”
Allen seemed to recover on
the bump following the fi rst in-
ning as he got through the sec-
ond and third fames with ease.
However, it all fell apart in the
bottom of the fourth.
With two on and two out, an
RBI-double by William Tsuka-
maki put the Vikings up 5-1.
Allen surrendered another run
after walking the next two bat-
ters. Then, Bernal hit a three-

from McNary left fi elder Noah
Bach.
“The misplayed fl y ball in
left ended up being a really big
play,” Keeker said.
North Salem scored anoth-
er unearned run on an error
by Devon Bedoya and went up
10-1 as Allen was unable to fi n-
ish the inning.
On the verge of being run-
ruled, McNary refused to give-
in, despite the large defi cit.
After a walk by Allen and
a single from Jackson, Covalt
laced a two-run double to the
center fi eld wall in the top of
the fi fth.
McNary got a run in the top
of the sixth on an RBI-ground-
out from Bedoya and anoth-
er run in the seventh on an
RBI-double from Jackson.
