The 2025-26 winter season is getting underway, so it’s time to take a look at this year’s basketball teams.
Here is a look at every girls basketball team in the Central Valley Conference:
McNary Celtics
Coach: Isaiah Gentry (1st year)
Last season: 7-18, 2-7 CVC (T-3rd)
Returning all-leaguers: Aubrey Adams, senior (first team); Ella Kellar, senior (second team); Kate Cruickshank, senior (honorable mention)
Outlook: Just two seasons ago, the Celtics won 15 games, and the pieces are there for them to make a quick turnaround under the 27-year-old Gentry, who plays for the Salem Capitals and was a varsity assistant at McNary for the past two years.
South Salem Saxons
Coach: Adrian Lewis (9th year)
Last season: 18-9, 7-2 CVC (T-1st); lost in second round
Returning all-leaguers:
