With Broden Mackert healthy again and DeAngelo Coates coming into his 00:00:22.310 --> 00:00:26.710 own, Providence just keeps getting more multidimensional on offense. 00:00:26.990 --> 00:00:30.750 The Celtics leaned on the running of Mackert and Brayden McKay, the 00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:35.310 passing of Dominic Vita and the pass-catching of Coates and John Cullen 00:00:35.310 --> 00:00:39.150 on Saturday as they held off Morgan Park 42-34 in the second 00:00:39.150 --> 00:00:42.510 round of the Class 5A playoffs at Stagg Stadium. 00:00:42.780 --> 00:00:47.100 Junior quarterback Ronald Smith Jr. Had a huge day for the Mustangs, 00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.300 passing for 405 yards and four touchdowns. 00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:56.270 Providence 9-3 will play Carbondale 10-2 in the quarterfinals next weekend. 00:00:56.820 --> 00:01:00.660 Mackert was sidelined by injury late in the regular season, but the 00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:05.460 senior is back on his typically heavy workload. Against Kankakee last week 00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:09.300 and Morgan Park, Mackert piled up more than 400 rushing yards and 00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:10.580 six touchdowns. 00:01:11.270 --> 00:01:16.230 He had three against the Mustangs 9-2, including scores of 48 and 00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:20.790 45 yards, as the Celtics built a 29-point lead before surviving a 00:01:20.790 --> 00:01:21.910 furious rally. 00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:27.000 McKay added a touchdown run, Vita threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.480 Cullen and Coates caught four passes for 87 yards to keep Providence’s 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:32.280 offense rolling. 00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:36.940 We’re not a passing school, said Coates, a 6-4 junior. So when 00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:39.900 we pass the ball, every opportunity I get, it’s an honor. 00:01:40.930 --> 00:01:44.690 He’s a weapon, man, Celtics interim coach Adam Nissen said of Coates. 00:01:44.930 --> 00:01:49.170 Tall, can run, stretches the defenses vertically for us. He has matured 00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:50.210 a ton since last year. 00:01:51.190 --> 00:01:55.110 Mackert said he appreciates the attention Coates and the rest of Providence’s 00:01:55.110 --> 00:01:57.670 receivers attract from opposing defenses. 00:01:58.130 --> 00:02:03.570 It’s great, Mackert said. It makes defenses scheme around everybody. O-line, they 00:02:03.570 --> 00:02:06.850 do their job. Having Dom Vita as our quarterback and all the 00:02:06.850 --> 00:02:09.730 receivers being a threat I mean, the defense has got to take 00:02:09.730 --> 00:02:12.450 time on that, not just the run game. So it’s good for 00:02:12.450 --> 00:02:12.530 us. 00:02:13.750 --> 00:02:18.230 The game was scoreless until McKay’s one-yard touchdown run midway through the 00:02:18.230 --> 00:02:22.630 second quarter. Providence then scored three touchdowns in a span of 96 00:02:22.630 --> 00:02:29.030 seconds all after Morgan Park turnovers, starting with Isaac Patton’s 53-yard scoop-and-score 00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:31.590 to make it 28-0 at halftime. 00:02:32.140 --> 00:02:35.660 Jonsean Young got the Mustangs comeback started with the first of his 00:02:35.660 --> 00:02:40.300 two touchdowns, a 56-yard run early in the third, but the Celtics 00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:44.780 lead peaked at 35-6 on the second of Mackert’s three touchdowns. 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.720 Smith and Morgan Park kept plugging away, however, scoring 28 points in 00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:51.880 the last 14 minutes to make it a game. 00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:56.670 The bottom line for Providence is it beat two quality opponents to 00:02:56.670 --> 00:02:58.510 reach the final eight in 5A. 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.400 We saw the draw right away, and we kind of welcome it, 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.840 Nissen said. Our thought process is we have to see them at 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.760 some point eventually, so let’s knock them out round whatever, round one 00:03:08.760 --> 00:03:09.480 and round two. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.800 Mustangs coach Chris James liked his team’s fight after falling into the 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.800 big hole.‘‘I challenged the kids at halftime about giving 24 minutes 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:25.360 of maximum effort, he said. The turnovers, they hurt us. And we 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.440 had a few misses at the end of the half that could 00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:29.760 have really put us in a good position. When you get in 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:32.480 a game like this, you can’t do that.
