went to the half with a 42-6
lead.
When the Celtics came
out of the locker room and
received the ball to start the
second half, they approached
things much differently on
the offensive side of the ball.
Auvinen got Junior Wall-
ing much more involved with
the game plan in the third
quarter after Walling got just
two touches in the fi rst half.
The senior moved the
chains three separate times
in the fi rst drive of the third
quarter, getting the ball into
the red zone. After an 18-yard
run by Barker put the ball
at the one-yard line, Walling
punched it in from there for
his second rushing score of
the season.
“We quit messing around
and went right at them. We
wanted to establish a little bit
of an identity and play more
physical,” Auvinen said. “We
want to use (Walling) as much
as we possibly can.”
Tualatin responded when
Griffi n Biggs crossed the goal
line from a yard out. But Mc-
Nary was quick to answer
back.
Barker found Thurlow
downfi eld on an out rout to
get the Celtics into Tuala-
tin territory. Moments later,
Walling found the end zone
once again on a 36-yard run
up the sideline.
Walling fi nished the game
with 152 rushing yards and
two touchdowns on just 15
carries, all in front of Oregon
State football coach Jonathan
Smith, who will be Walling’s
coach next season.
With the game out of
reach, Auvinen put in back-
up quarterback Jack McCa-
rty on the Celtics fi nal series.
After completing three passes
resulting in fi rst downs, the
junior signal-caller took it
in himself with a one-yard
touchdown run on a quarter-
back draw, putting the Celtics
sideline in high spirits with
less than two minutes remain-
ing.
“We’re defi nitely really
proud of how we came to
together in the second half,”
Martin said.
Auvinen added: “We still
have a ways to go to get
where we want to be, but I
think we took a step in the
right direction.”
McNary starts the more
manageable portion of their
schedule on Friday, Sept. 27
when they take on the Bar-
low Bruins in their fi nal non-
league home game.
