PAGE A10, KEIZERTIMES, FEBRUARY 14, 2020 MCNARY, continued from Page A14 double-digit advantage and Proctor nailed a 3-pointer at the top of the key to extend the advantage to 14 at the end of three. But the run didn’t stop there. Doutt completed a nifty three-point play to be- gin the fi nal period. Then, a bucket from Annie Leigh Besa completed the Celtics 17-2 run. “Summit came out of the half pretty strong at fi rst, but then we start- ed hitting some shots and playing really aggressively on offense,” McNary head coach Elizabeth Doran said. Doran also credited the Celt- ics swarming zone defense that held Summit to 30 per- cent shooting from the fi eld. “Our defense was pretty solid today. The girls were moving and communicating in our zone defense better than they have all season and I think that was a huge part of this game,” Doran said. Buss put an exclama- tion point on the contest with three straight treys late in the fourth quarter. “We wanted it more. We wanted to prove that we were the better team, be- cause deep down, we knew that we could beat them,” Buss said. McNary hosts Bend at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14.

CELTS, continued from Page A14 helpless feeling. It’s not diffi - cult things. It’s just defensive fundamentals. It’s stuff our pro- gram has been known for, and maybe I haven’t done a good job of holding us to those fun- damentals.” West Salem got the lead up to 18-10 in the open- ing period, but four straight free throws by Gonzalez and Meithof trimmed the defi cit to four at the end of the quarter. Meithof scored in the post to begin the second period, but once again, the Titans re- sponded, going on a 7-2 run to go up 27-18. The Titans main- tained their nine-point advan- tage through the second peri- od until Carson Long banked in a 3-pointer before the half- time buzzer sounded to cut the lead to 39-33 at the break. But the game started to slip away from the Celtics in the third quarter. The Titans led by as many as 16 in the period and eventually took a 55-42 lead into the fourth. Meithof came into the game as the third leading scor- er in the state at 23.8 points per game. But West Salem held the star shooting guard in check for most of the contest — Meithof had just nine points entering the fi nal period. “It was tough, because once I got past my man, there were two other guys waiting for me,” Meithof said. However, despite the defi cit, McNary found a way to make things interesting in the fi nal period. Meithof got into dou- ble-fi gures by scoring after grabbing an offensive rebound and Gonzalez got the lead down to single-digits by nail- ing a deep trey. The Celtics continued to shoot the ball well from be- yond the arc as Meithof and Long each knocked down 3-pointers of their own to make the score 60-55 with just over three minutes remaining. Three-point shooting was the thing that kept McNary in this one. The Celtics made KEIZERTIMES/Matt Rawlings Nate Meithof tries to beat his man off the dribble. 12 treys on the night — six of which came in the fourth quarter. “We came out with a lot of energy. We pushed the ball and started gaining some mo- mentum in the fourth quarter,” Gonzalez said. Meithof added: “We got to play like we did in the fourth quarter for the entire game.” Moments later, Gonzalez buried a shot from beyond the arc. Then, after a Titans turn- over, Gunner Smedema hit his second triple of the day to cut the lead to 65-63 with 1:12 re- maining. It was the fi rst time McNary had been within two since early in the second quar- ter. West Salem had a chance to close the game out, but missed three out of six foul shots down the stretch to leave the door open. Meithof got his crew within one after hitting a banked in 3-pointer in the corner with two guys in his face. West Salem’s reliable for- ward Jackson Lowery was sent to the line with 15.5 seconds left on the clock, but even he missed one out of two free throws, giving McNary the opportunity to send the game to overtime, or be in line for the victory, in the last posses- sion. Kirch called his fi nal time- out to give his team some fi nal instructions “We were just trying to get Nate the ball and let him make a play. We knew that they were going to face-guard him, so we gave the option of taking a ball-screen or not,” Kirch said. Meithof couldn’t shake his defender on the screen and was forced to the baseline after being double-teamed. He took a tough fadeaway triple that didn’t draw iron. McNary’s Zane Aicher somehow corralled the loose ball and kicked it out to Gon- zalez, who hoisted a desper- ation 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded, but the ball glanced off the rim and fell harmlessly to the hardwood. “I should have told him to keep the ball-screen away be- cause that brought the dou- ble-team. We probably could have done a few things to get a little more movement for him. You just want to get the ball in your best player’s hands,” Kirch said. McNary will travel to Bend for their next matchup for a 6:30 p.m. game on Friday, Feb. 14. They will return home to host Mountain View on Tues- day, Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. puzzle answers KEIZER CLASSIFIEDS CAREGIVER SERVICES SERVICES Senior lady seeks to care for an elderly person or couple.
