BBALL, continued from Page B1 Even though the Celtics fi zzled a little after the open- ing minutes, their effort on the defensive end was non-stop. “When shots weren’t fall- ing, our defense was still in- credibly relentless and they made every single thing diffi - cult,” Kirch said. “Our defense is looking great and that has been help- ing us win games. We help each other out and are con- stantly communicating,” Gon- zalez added. Gonzalez and Kyler Ro- driguez each hit treys in the second period to extend Mc- Nary’s advantage to 24-8. Madison went on a 6-0 run to cut the lead to 10 at the half, but McNary responded in the third quarter with another Rodriguez triple and a pair of hoops from Tyler Copeland and Isaac Johnson, putting the Celtics up 35-19 entering the fi nal quarter. McNary put the game on ice in the beginning of the fourth period after a Gonzalez buried a 3-pointer, then found Ochoa for an easy layup after a steal from Zane Aicher, ex- tending the Celtics lead to 21, their largest of the contest. “We learn something new every single game. We feel like we can mix and match a bunch of pieces and play at the pace that we want to,” Kirch said. “They just have to play to get that confi dence.” What’s on your HONEY-DO LIST?
