For the second day in a row, the Archbishop O'Hara High School basketball team entered the fourth quarter of play in serious contention and was met with an avalanche of points. This time it was in the first round in the consolation bracket of the Nelson Division of the Holiday Classic played at William Jewell.
The Celtics entered the fourth quarter in their game with the Central Blue Eagles down by a single point 36-35, but gave up 24 points while only scoring 11 to drop the game 60-46.
The two squads completed the initial quarter tied at 13 apiece. The next ten points in the second quarter were scored by the Eagles who then led 23-13. Surprisingly the Celtics rallied with an onrush of points to take a two-point lead 27-25 at halftime!
Uncharacterically missing some layups and open shots, the O'Hara team fell behind during the third quarter, but remained within reach until the disasterous fourth quarter.
Freshman CJ Naudet led the Celtics with 13 points followed by 14 from Kyle Baker, the only senior on the team this year.
