Cardinal O’Hara got off to a sluggish start Tuesday in its PIAA Class 6A second round game against Spring-Ford.
For a while, nothing was easy, not even finding the correct doorway to reach the floor in the cavernous, dimly lit Geigle Complex from the upstairs makeshift locker room.
But once the Lions found a rhythm, they had no problem finding the basket and except for a late run, preventing their opponent from getting to the rim in a 42-39 victory over Spring-Ford.
Joanie Quinn scored a game-high 16 points for the Lions (21-5), the first seed in District 12. Molly Rullo added a dozen points, Carly Coleman 11 for O’Hara, which faces the Easton-Central York winner Friday in the quarterfinals.
