CELTICS REMAIN UNDEFEATED IN WCC WITH A FIVE POINT WIN OVER WARRENSBURG
February 13, 2010
Earlier in the basketball season, the O'Hara Celtics poured in 98 points against the Warrenburg Tigers, but in the game on February 12th, they were held to only 38.
But it was enough to claim the victory in as much as the home team could only manage 33!
In the low scoring game, the Tigers owned a six point lead before the half at 21-15, but by the time the fourth quarter was to unfold, the Celtics were up 34-33.Coach Todd Magwire then had his team "hold the ball" for a lengthy period of time, tempting the defense to "come on out". They didn't until the game was cranking down to the final minute of playing time.
With 46 seconds remaining, D. J. Jackson had a 1-1 opportunity at the free throw line and cashed in on both shots. With eight seconds on the clock, he did it again for the final score. While O'Hara has yet to be topped in the West Central Conference, the Warrensburg Tigers went to 5-3 in the Conference and 14-8 overall. Tyler Schmidt was the only Tiger to go over ten points; he had 11.
