Cardinal O’Hara – 2-3 Overall
The first section of the 2020-2021 season came and went in a flash. The Hawks were busy in their inaugural week, playing 5 total games. They won two and lost three, equating to a .040 winning percentage. After dropping their initial game of the season, they have beaten Saint Mary’s and Nichols. After getting blown out at home against Canisius, they lost a narrow contest against St. Francis.
One Hawk who has started the season off well is senior Nikola Bosic. Bosic is a 6’5” Forward that has scored the ball well so far; in his last two contests, he has scored 30 points total on 48% shooting. His career-high came 2/19 against Nichols, where he scored 18 points, including 4-7 from the three-point line!
Two players that have stepped up defensively for the Hawks are junior Jacob Kanowski and senior Henry Smith. Together, they are averaging over 1 steal per game; that number is impressive and can continue to go up if the duo can build on their sharp performances thus far. The Hawks will thrive if the aforementioned guard duo continues their upwards defensive trajectory.
A final Cardinal O’Hara Hawk that is playing exceedingly well so far is Forward Jimmie Green. Green, a junior, is making a difference on both ends of the floor. He has managed an even 9 points per game while contributing 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, both team highs. Green may be the most important Hawk; his steady demeanor and play should see him climb near the top of the team leaderboard in terms of minutes played by the end of this season,
