RAIN COULD NOT STOP O'HARA FROM BEATING WARRENSBURG 31-13

After a fifteen minute delay because of tornado warnings and during a downpour of rain, the O'Hara Celtics were able to sudue the Warrensburg Tigers 31-13 on Friday night. O'Hara scored on their first drive which was set up by a Tiger fumble on the 39 yard line. Passes from TJ White to Joe Pepple and James Tillman brought the ball close to the goal line where James Tillman ran the ball across for the points. Before the quarter was over, the Tigers tied the score following a blocked punt. O'Hara took the lead for good within two minutes of halftime. A sustained drive from the O'Hara 26 yard line accomplished the feat. Two completed passes to Danny Hernandez, and runs each over ten yards in length by James Tillman, TJ White, and Raphael Spencer brought the ball down to the two yard line. Tillman scored on a short run. Although the rain let up during the third quarter, neither team saw paydirt. However, on the Celtics first possession in the fourth quarter James Tillman went around right end for a 39 yard scoring run. Chuck Preston recovered a Tiger fumble on the next series, and the Celtics pushed across their last TD of the evening. When the ball was advanced to the one yard line Preston was given the call to score the six points. Warrensburg got a touchdown late in the game on a screen play covering 46 yards. Chase Ludlam passed to Layton Moore who did the rest. Moore who was successful on his earlier extra point attempt kicked wide on this occasion. Although that was enough scoring for a wet evening for O'Hara, Bryce Scovill, who kicked all four extra points, converted on a 30 yard field goal for the Celtics' final three points.
