Shady Side Academy’s Mark Bence is mobbed by teammates after scoring the winning goal in overtime against Deer Lakes on Aug. 29, 2024.

Previous

Next

The Shady Side Academy girls basketball team took a crushing loss in the WPIAL Class 3A championship game. The Bulldogs also lost their 6-foot-2 forward Cassie Sauer for their run through the state playoffs.

But Shady Side Academy was able to pull itself together and move on to the PIAA Class 3A title game for the first time in school history. The Bulldogs lost 55-43 in the final to Loyalsock Township.

Shady Side Academy made it to the final in part to the brilliance of Karis Thomas.

Thomas, who went over 1,000 points for her career during the season, scored 21 points in the PIAA semifinal to propel the Bulldogs past OLSH.

A memorable season for the girls basketball team was one of multiple highlights in Shady Side Academy sports in the 2024-25 school year. Here is a look at some others:

Relay team cruises

The Bulldogs girls track team put together a distance relay squad that racked up wins nearly everywhere it went this spring. At the WPIAL Class 2A championships, the Bulldogs were able to set a school record and bring home a gold medal.

Rhyley Bendel, Charlotte Barker, Sarah Kushnir and Ella Van Norman finished with a time of 9:34.10.

“The training prepared us well for the quadruple that Rhyley Bendel and I did at WPIALs,” Van Norman. “The way the events are structured, it’s perfect for the order we prioritize the events. We go all out in the relay, that’s our No. 1 priority because we do that for each other.”

The group finished fifth at states.

Jochims wins WPIAL crowns

Shady Side Academy sophomore swimmer Ava Jochims won the WPIAL Class 2A title in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:00.09. She also finished first in the 500 free with a time of 4:54.22.

Strong first impression

Bulldogs freshman Javon Johnston placed third in the WPIAL in Class 2A in the triple jump with a leap of 21-11 and second in the triple jump with a distance of 44-1 to punch his ticket to states in two events.

Johnston finished fifth in the long jump at states with a leap of 22-2 ¼. He placed ninth in the triple jump with a distance of 43-9 ¾.

Boys soccer scares Avonworth

The Bulldogs reached the quarterfinals of the WPIAL Class 2A playoffs. Shady Side Academy lost 1-0 in overtime to eventual WPIAL runner-up Avonworth. TheBulldogs were 12-5-1 on the season, including 10-3-1 in Section 1-2A.

Shady Side beat Mt. Pleasant 2-0 in the first round.

Football brings back Geisler

The Shady Side Academy football team had a rough fall, finishing 2-8. The Bulldogs were able to lock up a commitment from a former great, Andrew Geisler, to take over as coach for next season.

Geisler graduated from Shady Side Academy in 2012 and played at Saint Vincent.

Celebrate Otega Oweh's Birthday with these Highlights

Of all the great news Kentucky fans have been blessed to see this offseason, Otega Oweh‘s return takes the cake. Today, Otega Oweh will be enjoying some cake to celebrate his 22nd birthday.

No. 00 actually gave back before receiving a gift for his big day. He brought a giant check to a satellite camp at North Laurel High School, worth $40,000 to tornado relief efforts. On Saturday morning, he joined the Wildcats for another camp in Russell County.

Otega Oweh was outstanding during his first season at Kentucky. He scored in double figures in the first 26 games of the season. He led the team in scoring with 16.2 points per game. Josh Hubbard is the only player returning to the SEC with more points per game on his resume.

Oweh scored 20 points or more in 13 games. His most impressive performance was against his old team. In the middle of a dogfight in Norman, he put the team on his back and scored the final 18 points of the game, culminating with the go-ahead bucket in the final seconds. On the other end of the floor, he blocked a shot to secure the victory.

It wasn’t the only time he broke hearts in the state of Oklahoma. Facing off in the SEC Tournament, Kentucky had a nine-point lead with just over 90 seconds to play. Then they threw the ball away, time and time again. Oweh was the culprit of one of those crucial turnovers, and it helped give the Sooners the lead with 5.6 seconds to play. Oweh made up for that mistake by driving the length of the court to hit another off-balance game-winner.

That was fun. But we all know those plays were just a small snippet of what he provided during his first season at Kentucky. Daniel Hager has more than 50 minutes of Otega Oweh highlights. Drink ’em up.

Sports boosters honor Celts at Beacon ceremony

McNary High School athletes and coaches were recognized at the annual Salem-Keizer Beacon awards ceremony on Tuesday, June 10.

Three Celts took home “Athlete of the Year” awards, and the boys soccer coach was awarded “Coach of the Year.”

“This year’s event was fantastic – well attended,” said Scott Whipple, president of the Salem-Keizer Beacons Booster Club.

Derek Olivo with his “Athlete of the Year” award for track and field. The Beacon Awards ceremony, put on by the Salem-Keizer High School Sports Booster Club was held at the Elsinore Theatre on June 10.

The event was held in the Elsinore Theatre. Attendants wore their best attire to the two-hour program, some cheering on nominees and others presenting or accepting awards.

The crowd burst into applause when Miguel Camarena, the Celts boys soccer coach, was named “Coach of the Year.” He’s also a behavioral specialist at McNary.

“Miguel just continues to run an exceptional program at McNary. They’re competitive at the conference level, of course, and on into the state level,” Whipple said.

He also mentioned Camarena’s community involvement through various soccer clubs, camps, and organizations.

The Beacons chose Camarena among three candidates nominated by athletic directors. Whipple said he was selected based on boys soccers’ performance last season, securing the Central Valley Conference championship for the third consecutive year and finishing seventh statewide.

Camarena, who has coached at McNary for over two decades, wasn’t surprised by the recognition.

“Our program is one of the top 10 programs in the entire state,” he said. “So it was kind of expected.”

Camarena said that structure is key to his program’s success. He keeps four teams – varsity, two junior varsity rosters and a freshman roster. As a result, the varsity lineup replenishes talent when seniors graduate.

This also keeps their numbers high. Last season, Camarena said they had nearly 100 total players.

Camarena also aids Keizer’s youth programs. As the executive director of the Mid Valley Soccer Club, he cultivates relations between the youth and his high school team, resulting in McNary pride.

Camarena said that their success will only continue. His goal next season is conquering the Central Valley Conference for a fourth time.

“We have a good group of guys coming back,” he said, “and so we are excited to have the opportunity to go for it.”

Jay Flores, a McNary senior, was key to the team’s success last season. Along with two other McNary athletes, Flores was named “Athlete of the Year,” for boys soccer.

“We found the position for him,” Camarena said. “He scored 33 goals…he broke the McNary record for goals in one season.”

Flores was the leading district scorer.

Derek Olivo, a McNary sophomore, received the field athlete of the year for his first-place finish in javelin and second-place finish in discus at state.

Isabelle Faulkner, a McNary senior, accepted the girls golf athlete of the year. She was recognized for her first-place district finish and qualification for the state tournament.

The club nominated four other Celts: senior Kaelynn King, girls soccer; sophomore Marlina Martinez, girls wrestling; senior Vince Estrada, boys cross country; and junior Josalyn Netzel, softball.
