Wissahickon
Easter Monday, a great day off, the last of spring break, and O'Hara Ultimate was ready to play host to Wissahickon.
O'Hara came into the game after a disappointing loss to Conestoga, and in a bit of a tail spin. Sleeves was unable to make the game due to family issues, so O'Hara was going to be playing without one of our key players. The game started out with Wiss playing a zone, and O'Hara in a ho-stack, and playing man defense against Wiss' ho-stack. O'Hara got off to a rough start with a confused man/zone defense, and then played a dominating man defense for most of the first half, jumping out to a 6-3 lead. At that point the call was made on the field to switch to a zone, and that allowed Wiss to get back in teh game, actually takign half 8 - 7.
Due to some poor decision making, not only with the zone, but also with some ridiculous throws, the Tripod found themselves on the sideline to start the second half. Eric had some early jitters, allowing Wiss to build a 10 - 7 lead before the sophomore crew settled down and fought back. O'Hara played some very good defense, causing repeated turnovers, but then, making the same poor decisions and slow play against Wissahickon's cup that allowed Wiss to get back in and then eventually win the game, 15 - 12.
Henkel lead all scorers with 7 assists, and the scoring was well distributed. Eric had a pair of sick layout d's. The team showed a lot of effort, especially the second half sophomores who really started to pull it together toward the end of the game, playing killer defense, but the deficit was just too much to overcome.
Thursday Holy Ghost Prep comes down, in the last tune up before HipHop where O'Hara is the 6 seed. Hopefully we can work out the kinks and stir up the tournament.
