O’Hara finds its range to claim District 12 title

Hendrixson scored a career-high 33 points — all in the first three quarters — to lead O’Hara to a 79-33 rout of the Public League champions in the District 12 Class 6A title game.

The All-Delco Hendrixson buried nine 3-point shots.

All-Delco Kenzie Gardler hit five 3s for 15 points, and Emily Helms canned four 3s for 12 points.
