Celtics Pull Away in Third Quarter to Beat Rams 83-62

On February 17th, The O'Hara Celtics won 83-62 in a game with the Hogan Rams. Scoring 11 of his game-high 26 points in the third quarter, Mark Braden led the O'Hara team against a talented Hogan team. At the start, the Rams looked very good getting 18 points from the sharp shooting of Dawon Cummings in the first half putting the visitors ahead by five at the half. But in the third quarter, O'Hara trailed by one point at 37-36 when Braden hit a three-pointer. Then the Celtics went on a fast-paced 9-2 splurge and stayed ahead until the end. A full court press by O'Hara was very effective with the Celtics coming up with a 24-12 third quarter and a 29-15 fourth quarter when the Rams took a variety of ill-advised shots. Giving Braden some scoring support, Aaron Stubblefield added 14 points, TJ White chipped in 10 points , and Dominique Fields had 10. DJ Jackson was 8 for 8 from the free throw line.
