Preseason Celtic Boys Basketball

O'HARA BASKETBALL IS YOUNG AND TALENTED Led by two seniors and a nucleus of talented juniors, the Archbishop O'Hara High School basketball team is getting ready for their opening game with Pembroke Hill on December 5th. Joe Pepple and Trevor Krasowsky are the only two players returning for their fourth and final year on the O'Hara team. Great expectations are anticipated from juniors TJ White, Mark Braden, Aaron Stubblefield, Dominique Fields, and tall Tyler Houser. Others from the junior class that will be challenging for playing time are Keenen Wilkins-Hemphill, Larkin Garrison, Emanuel Moore, and Ronnie Miller. Seven sophomores will display their talents in JV games and occasionally pop up in varsity games. They are Jevon Lyle, Josh Rupprecht, Kenton Echterling, Andre Jordan, Lowell Thomas, DJ Jackson, and Bryce Foster. Suiting up for JV or varsity play are freshmen Daniel Hurtt and Rayshawn McDonald. The Celtics bring a lot of experience from last year when they came in second in District play, nearly won the William Jewell Classic, and won the West Central Conference Championship with an 8-2 record. The Celtics were 17-7 for their regular season.
