But then the Celtics scored nine unanswered points with Dominique Fields supplying five of them and O'Hara was not seriously challenged from then on. After the score reached 29-20 midway through the third quarter, the Celtics poured in eleven consecutive points involving five different players for a lead of twenty points. The Warriors were unable to cope with the Celtic full court pressure. Both teams matched scores of 21 apiece for the final quarter. Eleven O'Hara players spread out the scoring with Dominique Fields leading the way with 11 points. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ On January 11, the O'Hara Celtics girls basketball team hosted the Warrensburg Tigers and won 51-17.
