Gonzalez knew he had it going early in
the first quarter.
"It was just one of those days. After
the first few went, I knew it was going
to be a long night for them,” Gonzalez
said.
The junior went 8-for-10 from the
field and 5-of-6 from beyond the arc,
scoring 21 points on the night and
helping McNary to a 51-36 win over
Lakeridge on Thursday, Dec. 30.
Jabol Balos added 11 points for
McNary in the win.
After losing their first four games
of the season, the Celtics have gotten
back on track with three consecutive
victories.
“We made some adjustments offen-
sively and defensively. They're running
with it and having fun and believing
in each other. They're a fun group to
coach,” McNary assistant coach Jordan
Keeker said. “It's good to see that they
are playing better and taking steps
forward.”
