``In the beginning of the year, nobody thought we would amount to anything,'' said guard Pat Dornan, who scored 15 points. ``But now we've earned our respect. This is the first time we've gone this far, so that says a lot about our team. It's a lot of fun.'' The Celts (19-8) used a back-door motion offense, superior athleticism and good shooting, opening a 10-point lead early in the second quarter and never really feeling any heat. Eight Crespi players, led by Marcin Jagoda's 16 points, scored at least five points, compared to two for Carpinteria. Jagoda's three straight baskets gave Crespi a 51-32 lead late in the third quarter. Twelve players ended up scoring. ``Our talent caught up to them and we wore then down,'' Crespi coach Dick Dornan said. ``This is a very special time.'' John Barbieri scored 20 points for Carpinteria (13-12) and Tyler Matson added 15. Otherwise, the Warriors

Crespi opened the middle by making a series of early 3-pointers, a good situation because Carpinteria lacked height inside.

A coin flip will determine whether Crespi plays another home game at Notre Dame High or travel. Dornan's mix of mostly unhonored players have bought into the coaches' team-first philosophy, and so far the season is going as well as possible, including four wins in a row. ``We have three goals,'' Dornan said. ``The kids wanted to believe in themselves, they wanted to believe in the coach, and I wanted to believe in the players. It's a winning combination and we're peaking at the right time. The next game will be a bomber bomber Military aircraft designed to drop bombs on surface targets.
