Celts fall to top-ranked Lake Oswego in second round
Football
The McNary defense attempts to keep Lake Oswego out of the end zone.
BY MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
After an impressive performance in
their fi rst round playoff game against
North Medford, the McNary football
squad didn't have the manpower to
hang with top-ranked Lake Oswego
with a trip to the quarterfi nals on the
line.
Despite a pair of long touchdown
catches by Braiden Copeland in the
second half, the Celtics couldn't climb
out of a 21-0 hole they dug themselves
in as McNary fell to the Lakers 35-14 in
the second round of the postseason on
Friday, Nov. 12.
“The off ense really made some
adjustments and gave us a shot. But
we had a couple of coverage break-
downs that were a little disappointing
in the second half,” McNary head coach
Jeff Auvinen said. “But the kids never
stopped battling. Not for one play.”
Copeland had seven grabs for 135
yards and two scores in the loss.
While the McNary off ense went
three-and-out on their fi rst possession,
the defense came up with a huge fourth
down stop to give the Celtics the ball
back in Lake Oswego territory.
A 15-yard completion from McNary
quarterback Tyler Copeland to his
brother, Braiden, had the Celtics sniff -
ing the red zone. But the Lakers defense

sacked Tyler Copeland two plays later
and eventually forced McNary to punt.
Lake Oswego regained possession
on their own 21-yard line and marched
79 yards in a little more than three
minutes. The drive was concluded on
a two-yard touchdown run by Lake
Oswego quarterback Jack Layne, giv-
ing his team the 7-0 lead.

again,

stop after the

the ball inside
the 20.
However, the

and had to give
the ball right

to
