Celts blanked by Lake Oswego in home opener FBALL
By MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
Before the season started,
McNary head coach Miguel
Camarena was vocal about
the desire he has for his team
to be a better goal-scoring
squad.
It appears that the Celtics
still have a lot of room for
growth in that department.
Despite numerous oppor-
tunities, McNary couldn’t
put one into the back of
the net as they fell to Lake
Oswego 1-0 in their home
opener on Thursday, Sept. 5.
Lakers forward Aaron
Rudder put away a penalty
kick in the 30th minute for
the game’s only score.
“For the second game of
the season, I though the boys
had a good performance. But
it was disappointing that we
couldn’t fi nish,” Camarena
said. “We came out a little
fl at in the fi rst half.”
After not a lot of action in
the fi rst 20 minutes, McNary
had a few different threats af-
ter the midway point of the
fi rst half.
Eddie Martinez tried to
hit Edgar Salazar cutting to-
wards the net with a beau-
tiful touch pass from the
midfi eld, but Lake Oswego
goalkeeper Johann Shahala-
mi made a great read and left
his box early to beat Salazar
to the ball.
Shahalami would make
two additional saves in the
following three minutes to
turn McNary away.
In the 30th minute, Lake
Oswego had a throw-in deep
in Celtic territory. When the
throw went into the box,

McNary defender Sebastian
Brunk jumped in the air to
try and head the ball out of
trouble. Instead, the ball inci-
dentally glanced off Brunk’s
hand, which led to the Lak-
ers being awarded a penalty
kick.
Lake Oswego capitalized
on the error as McNary
keeper Alejandro Villarreal
couldn’t get a hand on Rud-
der’s shot that punished the
back of the net.
Even though he was beat
on the penalty kick, Villarre-
al’s efforts in the net kept the
Celtics in the game all night.
Rudder had a chance to
give his team a 2-0 lead be-
fore the end of the fi rst half
as he got behind the Mc-
Nary back line for an open
shot, but Villarreal was able
to knock the ball away to
keep the defi cit at one.
Villarreal continued this
trend in the second half as
well, knocking away multiple
Lake Oswego shot attempts
from point blank range.
“Without a doubt, I think
(Villarreal) is the best goal-
keeper in the conference,”
Camarena said. “He’s a col-
lege-material goalkeeper and
he’s going to help us big-
time this year.”

nity to break even came in
the 55th minute when Eli
Petilo got loose on a break-
away and had a one-on-one
opportunity with Shahalami
in the box.
Petilo aimed for the left-
side of the goal, but Shahala-
mi was able to get a hand up
to block the shot and even
kept Salazar from corralling
the rebound.
While losing a game like
this one would be tough for
any team, Camarena hopes
that the high competitive
level of this early-season
matchup will better prepare
his team for what they will
face during Mountain Valley
Conference play.
“I think it will help us im-
prove mentally,” Camarena
said. “We’re going to work
to fi x our mistakes and come
back a better team.”

air.
Offensively, McNary was
able to rack up just over 300
yards of total offense, but the
Black Tornado still only man-
aged the Celtics to one score.
“We actually moved the
ball pretty well at times, we
just couldn’t fi nish off drives,”
Auvinen said.
McNary will be chal-
lenged once again in their
home opener on Friday, Sept.
13 when they take on West
Linn, a team that is projected
to contend for a state title.
It will be a different match-
up for this Celtics squad than
it was against North Med-
ford. The Black Tornado take
pride in being physical in the
trenches while West Linn is
a team that spreads the fi eld
and has the majority of their
offense revolving around the
passing game.
Auvinen believes McNary
will be able to compete bet-
ter in this contest, but he also
wants his team to not bring
the frustrations of their fi rst
defeat into their battle with
West Linn.
“It will be a different game.
I think that we match up well
with them at some positions.
We just need to try and fl ush
our last game and move for-
ward,” Auvinen said
