O'Hara wasted little time as it scored on a 73 yard touchdown run on its first play from scrimmage. Christ Prep followed on its first possession with a touchdown as several nice runs by Lenard Manuel were capped off by a Darren Wallace 5 yard bootleg which found the endzone. O'Hara continued its first half scoring and the Patriots were unable to answer, finding themselves down 28-7 at the end of the first quarter and 42-7 at the half.
CPA put together three scoring drives in the second half and converted on all three 2 point conversions. However, O'Hara scored one more time and the game ended 49-31. The win improved the Celtics' record to 5-1 and will likely raise their Missouri Class 3 ranking which was No. 8 prior to the game. The loss evened Christ Prep's record at 3-3.
Lenard Manuel and Darren Wallace each rushed for over 100 yards and scored two touchdowns. Wallace added five points after touchdown while Demonta Bailey added two more. Wallace connected on four passes, the longest being a pair of 23 yard completions to Jared Nield and Bailey.
Defensively, Cameron Wainscott led CPA with seven tackles while Michael Force was right behind with six. Davis Finley recovered a fumble after a Wallace punt.
The Patriots return back to Shawnee Mission North field next Saturday at 1:00 p.m. for their Homecoming contest with the East (Kansas City Interscholastic League) Bears. The JV is in action back at O'Hara on Monday (10/5) at 5:00 p.m.
