McNary Celtics Football 28-55 South Salem

South Salem rolled into Keizer, Oregon on Friday night and handed McNary a 55-28 loss in Mid-Willamette League football, dropping the Celts to 2-6 on the season. The Saxons controlled the game from start to finish, putting up 55 points in a performance that proved too much for McNary to overcome despite the home crowd's support. The Celts managed 28 points of their own, showing some offensive life, but the defensive struggles against South Salem's attack proved costly throughout the evening. With the loss, McNary falls to 0-3 in conference play, leaving the Celts searching for their first league win of the fall. The result stings, but there is still football to be played, and the remaining games on the schedule give McNary a chance to finish the season on a stronger note. The Celts return to action next week with an opportunity to find some momentum before the season closes out.
