Football Win O'Hara 49 Richmond 20

On August 22, the Archbishop O'Hara High School Celtic football team opened their 2014 season with an impressive 49-20 win against a tough Richmond Spartan team.  It was a non-conference away game.

Although Richmond took an early 7-0 lead on a 3 yard run by Quinton Maxwell, O'Hara scored three times before the half while allowing one TD on a 43 yard pass from Maxwell to Dylan Seely.

Quarterback Michael Briggs scored twice on short yardage runs and Austin Evans had an 80 yard kickoff return for a touchdown.  At halftime the score was 21-14.

Michael Briggs plunged for a third quarter TD and Brock Hughes ran in a score from ten yards out to up the score to 35-14 going into the final quarter.

Gerald Harker and Austin Evans each scored in the fourth quarter on runs of 45 yards and 40 yards.

 The Spartans scored a 5 yard touchdown by Sam Owen near the end of the game but the two-point conversion attempt failed.

Zach Drake kicked five extra points for O'Hara and Michael Briggs ran for a two-point conversion.
