AMONG THE TOP TEN O'HARA FOOTBALL

T. J. White holds O'Hara's school record for career passes through 2006-2009 at the halfway mark of the present regular season with 181 completions in 359 attempts for 3,625 total yards. (well ahead of runner-up Joe Holder 1976-1978 who has 126 completions in 331 attempts for 1,869 yards). Included in White's total is the 117 yards from 8 completions in 10 attempts in the game with Saint James. One of the reasons the total didn't increase by much is that the running game was working for the Celtics. The four running backs that scored six of O'Hara's touchdowns in the game each averaged over six yards per carry as the Celtics had 323 rushing yards and the team did not need too much dependence on passing. * * * * * * * * * * * Aaron Stubblefield is now tied for 7th place in the top ten receivers for O'Hara with 30 career catches. He ties David Pugh (1976-1978). The school record was established last season when Joe Pepple reached 68 receptions. Head Coach Jim DeMarea holds the 5th place with 37 catches back in 1970-1972. * * * * * * * * * * * Chuck Preston moved into 10th place in the Miscellaneous category which includes a formula for tackles, blocked kicks, quarterback sacks, recovered fumbles, interceptions, and yards returned from interceptions. He has 325 points while the ninth place is held by Nick Saviano (2001-2003) with 351 points. The top player in this category is William Lanning with 465 points (1997-2000).
