McMurrin.
Although they are relatively
untested, Stanley believes he
has a crew of receivers that
can be productive, including
seniors Nick Paslay and
Marshall Bray, who just
transferred from Sprague.
The two spots where
there are still question marks
for this West Salem team
are at linebacker and in the
secondary.
“Defensively, we graduated
the whole back end, so we’re
going to have to fi ll some
spots on that side,” Stanley
said.
Junior Nate Garcia, along
with seniors Austin Galberth
and Jake Tinesth will likely be
looked at as the leaders on the
defensive backfi eld.
Along with Pugh, Kaiden
Reidhead will be moving
from the defensive line into
an outside linebacker role
while Santiago Cecchini
will be slated to play middle
backer.
“We’re not a huge group
physically. But our defense is
built on speed, so if you can
run and if you’re tough, you
can play,” Stanley said.
West Salem was the only
MVC team to win a playoff
game last season, defeating
Southridge 57-28. They also
ended the season with the
highest state ranking out of
MVC team (15th).
But on Oct. 19 of last
year, the Titans were upset at
home by McNary, who went
onto to eventually win the
conference title.
“We just got outplayed and
out-coached on that night.
You want to beat everyone
on your schedule, but that
game really left a bad taste in
our mouths,” Stanley said.
When the two teams meet
on Friday, Oct. 25 West Salem
will be looking to exact
their revenge in a game that
could decide the conference
champion.
“It’s always our goal to win
a conference championship
and we expect ourselves to
make deep runs in the playoffs
and hopefully have a chance
to win a state championship.
Some years that’s more
realistic
than others,
“It’s always our goal to win
but I’m not
afraid to say
a conference championship
that we have
and we expect ourselves
great
kids
and
great
to make a deep run
coaches
and that we
in the playoffs…”

year. If we’re
in the opening game. They
not, the coaches aren’t doing will also take on Sheldon in
a good job,” Stanley said.
week four, who was the 2018
The Titans will be state runner-up. However,
challenged in non-league play look for West Salem to be
for the second straight year in the running for a league
as they will host defending championship when late-
state champion Lake Oswego October comes.
