First-year Coach Jon Mack from Encino Crespi is starting to raise expectations fast. The Celts won the Claremont passing tournament championship on Saturday, defeating Corona Santiago in the final.

Junior linebacker Corey Peoples had two interceptions, including one in the championship game. Quarterback Kenny Stenhouse, receiver Devin Lucien and defensive back Charles Washington were also standouts for the Celts.

‘I feel like we’re getting better every day, but we have a long ways to go,’ Mack said. ‘I can’t wait for the weight room to open on Monday.’

Santiago alternated four quarterbacks and relied on receivers Jemond Hazely, Simon Connette and Nnamdi Agude.
