Youthful O’Hara boys take step towards maturity in win over Lincoln

By Joseph Santoliquito

Ryan Nemetz is working on it. The Cardinal O’Hara coach knows he’ll need to exert some patience as his young team develops, and Friday night marked a nice step in that process. The Lions finished 2-1 this week, and are 3-2 overall, thanks to a convincing 76-64 victory over visiting Lincoln.

The 12-point difference doesn’t come close to how O’Hara (3-2) dominated. The Lions saw balanced scoring, led by the team’s only senior, Maasai Harris, who scored a team-high 15, with 12 points each from Izaiah Pasha and Amir Speights. Lincoln’s 6-foot-7 senior Aymere Thomas led all scorers with 26, and was one of a few bright spots on the Lincoln side.

Otherwise, O’Hara led from start to finish, building a 70-36 lead entering the fourth quarter. By then, the Lions benefitted from a running clock, after benefitting by the big leap 6-7 sophomore Pearse McGuinn took.
