Warrensburg No Match for Conference Leading Celtics

The Warrensburg Tigers were not able to keep pace with the Celtics on Friday the 13th. O'Hara won 63-31. The Celtics are undefeated in the West Central Conference and are guaranteed a share in the Conference title. Center with one Conference loss (to the Celtics) could share the title if they were to win when they host O'Hara February 20th. Never trailing in the entire game, the Celtics led by five after one quarter and increased their lead by halftime to 31-20. It was the third quarter that removed any doubt. While scoring 23-6 in the quarter, the Celtics had one run of 21 consecutive points. So evenly was the O'Hara scoring that no individual scored as many as a dozen points. The top six point-producers were Mark Braden (11), Domique Fields (10), DJ Jackson (9), TJ White (8), Aaron Stubblefield (8), and JeVon Lyle (7). With a running fourth quarter clock, O'Hara went with their bench and still outpointed the Tigers 9-5; five of the O'Hara tallies were by Trevor Krasowsky. The junior varsity team won their game too, downing the Tigers 71-46. The four who scored the most for the Celtics were Josh Rupprecht (20), Tyler Houser (10), Keenan Wilkens-Hemphill (9), and Emanuel Moore (9)
