Exemplary Character

Also a talented musician, O'Hara has volunteered locally on behalf of blood-donation drives, an elementary school literacy initiative and a basketball program for disabled children. "O'Hara is a fast kid with good size and he's constantly creating dangerous space with his runs, and finding spaces to score," said Phil Jacobs, head coach of Mt. Mansfield Union High. "He also shows great vision in terms of knowing where his teammates are and getting them the ball."
