O’Hara Rallies Late to Get the Win

Writer's picture: tgardner1167tgardner1167

The Cardinal O’Hara Hawks didn’t make it look easy, but a strong 2nd half propelled them to a 64-58 win over the Newfane Panthers in the ADPRO Private/Public School Challenge at Depew High School.

Justin Hemphill and Rene Velazquez led the way for the Hawks with 16 points each, followed closely by Torree Cheatham and Jermaine Haynes, who both dropped 15 points in the comeback victory.

Despite a high scoring and fast paced first quarter, ending in a 21-20 lead for O’Hara, the second quarter brought on sloppy play from both sides, as turnovers were aplenty. The sloppy play definitely caught the eye of Hawks head coach Tony Pulvirenti.

“There’s definitely a few things we need to clean up in practice,” said Pulvirenti, whose Hawks had turnovers on five straight possessions at one point in the quarter.

The Hawks were only able to put a mere 6 points on the board in quarter two, as a 7-0 run for the Panthers to end the half put them up 33-27, in a first two quarters with 12 lead changes.

Coming out for the second half, Newfane extended their lead to 11, the largest lead of the night for either side. However, about midway through the third quarter, the momentum started to swing the opposite way, as the Hawks came storming back to get within 1 at the end of the third quarter, putting the score line at 45-44.

“We were motivated at halftime,” said Coach Pulvirenti. “We were able to play fast in the second half, once we got engaged we played very well.”

The Hawks did just as their coach described in the fourth: play fast. On the back of a Justin Hemphill transition dunk, the Hawks strung together an 11-0 run in the fourth, which ultimately downed the Panthers in the end.

As for Newfane, the team was led by Max Weber, who dropped 20 points in the first three quarters, but went scoreless in the fourth. Kyle Devoogel also tacked on 18 points for the Panthers in the loss. Just like the Hawks, the Panthers were plagued with turnovers throughout the game that hurt them in the long run.

The Panthers coming up just short appears to be a trend as of late, as their past three losses have been by a combined 11 points. Newfane head coach Eric Klumpp has definitely noticed the team’s tight game woes.

“Our toughness later in games needs to improve,” said Klumpp after the loss. “We’ve been in this situation too many times.”

The loss puts Newfane at 2-4 overall this season, as the Panthers are back in action again on December 20th as they take on Royalton-Hartland at home. As for Cardinal O’Hara, the win now sits the Hawks at 2-2 overall on the year, as they face off with Tapestry on December 21st at home in their next matchup.
