10 list.
It was Meithof ’s fi fth
straight game over 30 points.
“I just work on my game
every day and it’s really been
showing,” Meithof said.
McNary held onto a 14-
13 lead at the end of the fi rst
period thanks to a four-point
play from Jaime Ochoa in the
fi nal minute of the quarter.
Canby came back to take
the lead in the second quarter,
but back-to-back triples from
Riley Flores put the Celtics
on top 27-25 at the break.
McNary came out of half-
time fi ring on all cylinders to
begin the second half. After
Meithof broke free for a cou-
ple of transition buckets to
extend the lead to six, fresh-
man point guard Jando Gon-
zalez knocked down back-to-
back 3-pointers to give the
Celtics their largest lead at
37-25.
Canby, however, went on
a 10-0 run of their own to
get the lead back within two
late in the period. A deep trey
by Meithof put a halt to the
Cougars run.
McNary kept their lead
intact throughout the entire
fourth quarter. The Celtics
were on the verge of put-
ting the game on ice when
Meithof hit a pair of free
throws to make the score 49-
44 with 35 seconds left.
But Arredondo wasn’t
ready for his Canby team to
give up just yet. The junior
guard converted on a deep
3-pointer to cut the lead
to two with 26.2 seconds
left.

Meithof was fouled quick-
ly when McNary inbounded
the ball, but he could only hit
one of two free throws, keep-
ing it a one-possession game
with 20 seconds left.
Canby air-balled a pair of
shots on the ensuing posses-
sion, but each time they were
able to corral the offensive
rebound. After a hectic 20
seconds, Canby head coach
Craig Evans elected to call
timeout with 3.5 left on the
clock to draw up the fi nal
shot of regulation.
Despite the ensuing play
being well defended, Arre-
dondo was still able to knock
down the contested three to
send the game in the over-
time as Canby faithful cele-
brated wildly.
It would have been easy
for the Celtics to hang their
head at the blown opportu-
nity. But instead, the Celtics
kept on putting the pressure
on the Cougars.
In the fi rst possession of
overtime, Gonzalez com-
pleted a nifty three-point
play to put McNary back on
top. After a Canby bucket,
Meithof came back down the
court and hit his fourth triple
from the top of the key. Mo-
ments later, Meithof weaved
through two defenders and
fi nished off the glass to get
the lead to 58-52.
“We kept the pressure up
and we were a lot more calm
with the ball. We didn’t rush
anything,” Meithof said.
At this point, Meithof al-
ready had a spectacular game
going. But he shut the gym
down with the play he made
in the fi nal minute.
After getting a defen-
sive stop, Ochoa secured the
rebound and handed it to
Meithof in the backcourt. In-
stead of trying to dribble time
off the clock before getting
fouled, Meithof hit the accel-
erator, getting past three de-
fenders and putting himself in
a one-on-one situation with
Canby’s Alexander Evans at
the rim.
“He was just standing
there on the fast break, so I
was like ‘if he not going to do
nothing, I’m just going to go
over him,’”Meithof said.
And that’s exactly what
Meithof did.
Evans tried to take the
charge under the hoop, but
the 6-foot-4 Meithof soared
by the Canby post and threw
down a ferocious slam, then
fl exed his mighty arms in ju-
bilation, knowing that he had
just helped his team clinch a
huge victory. “We have given
him freedom to go and do
that kind of stuff and make
plays. It looked like he almost
jumped over the kid. It was a
special play by a special play-
er,” Kirch said.
Meithof and the Celtics
return to action in their fi nal
non-conference game at For-
est Grove on Friday, Jan. 10.
Game time is 7 p.m.
