Chillicothe 29
O'Hara Quarterback T. J. White converted a fourth and seven
then scored from three yards out
two plays later with 10 seconds left in the game to give his team a 32-29 come
from behind win over Chillicothe. White's score capped a 12
play 78 yard game winning drive by the Celtics. He finished
with 98 yards and two touchdowns rushing and 5/8-85 yards and
two touchdowns passing.
O'Hara used the big plays often in the game, scoring on
a 48 yard run in the first quarter and a 40 yard pass early in
the second. Chillicothe had a Jared McCauslin 1 yard run and
two Connor Lindley Field Goals including one on the last play
of the half to tie the game at 12-12 at intermission
Chillicothe opened the second half with Lindley's third
field goal on the night to take a 15-12 lead midway thru the
third quarter. O'Hara responded 1:40 later on a 27 yard pass
to lead 21-20 with 5:21 left in the third.
The seesaw battle continued when O'Hara completed a
five yard pass. The receiver turned to lateral on a hook and
ladder play, but Chillicothe's Bryce Young took the lateral
out of mid-air and raced 25 yards for the score and a 21-20
lead late in the 3rd.
O'Hara put together an 11 play 80 yard drive in the fourth
quarter that ended with a T. J. White 1 yard run to take a
26-21 lead. Chillicothe returned the favor, going 49 yards in
five plays that ended with a Brett Stephens touchdown. That
set up O'Hara's game winning score.

season at 8-3 while O'Hara improves to 10-1. |
