O'HARA 35 PEMBROKE HILL 13

After a sluggish three quarters with the O'Hara Celtics owning a 14-0 lead over the Pembroke Hill Raiders, the scoring picked up for a final score of 35-13. _____ Both teams had to adjust to a slippery field and neither could put any points on scoreboard in the first quarter. The Raiders reached the 12 yard line before Andre Jordan intercepted a Jacob Gerson pass. _____ The second quarter also had a slow pace until a poor Raider punt gave the Celtics the ball on the 44 yard line. The Celtics were on the move with a 10 yard run by Raphael Spencer and two T. J. White pass plays for 20 yards to Joe Melchior and 16 yards to Louis Golden. Melchoir scored just before halftime on a 3 yard pass play and T. J. White ran the two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead at the half. _____ In the middle of the third quarter, T. J. White was able to complete a 36 yard touchdown pass to Louis Golden, but his two-point attempted pass to Chuck Preston, although complete, did not cross the goal line. O'Hara was up 14-0 entering the final quarter. _____ O'Hara scored three of the five fourth quarter touchdowns. Their first score of the quarter was set up by a 45 yard pass to Louis Golden and a 20 yard run by Raphael Spencer. The TD was scored on an 18 yard run by Raphael Spencer and the extra points by T. J. White. _____The Celtics' other two TD's were on long runs: a 65 yarder by Raphael Spencer and a 61 yard run by T. J. White. _____ The Raiders scored the other two touchdowns. The first was on a fourth down with 25 yards to go for a first down. Jacob Gerson passed for the score in the endzone covering 36 yards. The second was scored with just three seconds remaining in the game, a 3 yard run by Jacob Gerson. ----- Julian Gidley for the Celtics and Nathan Wagner for the Raiders each kicked an extra point.
