Fresh off their 44-37 win over Gainesville, the Osbourn Park girls looked to attain consecutive Cedar Run district championships against Patriot on Wednesday night at home. They would come away successful, beating the Pioneers 58-36 to go 21-1 on the season. 

Patriot kicked the game off with a 4-0 start, but OP stormed back to take a 7-6 lead following a three-point play from junior Alana Powell and a three-pointer from senior Hailey Kellogg with 4:40 remaining in the quarter. The score remained low as the two teams jostled for momentum with OP leading 10-8 after one. 

Senior point guard Hailey Kellogg led OP with 19 points including five three-pointers.

The Yellow Jackets would create separation immediately in the second quarter after a quick 5-0 run made the score 15-8 with just over six minutes to go in the half. Scoring came in bunches for the home team. Powell blew by the Pioneer defenders for a layup to put OP up 22-12, and a five-point surge via a jumper and three-pointer from Kellogg extended their lead to fifteen. The Osbourn Park ladies used a 19-4 second quarter to head into the half up 29-12. 

OP would refuse to let up on the gas pedal in the third quarter, using their swarming defense and hot shooting to expand their lead. OP head coach Chrissy Kelly took a timeout with 4:46 left in the third to refocus her team despite a seventeen-point lead. 

Immediately following the timeout, Hailey Kellogg hit another shot from deep. On their next two trips down the floor, she and Alana Powell traded assists and three pointers to open up the game to 42-16 with just over three minutes to go in the third quarter. 

Junior guard Alana Powell was second in scoring with 14 points and led the Yellow Jackets with 4 assists.

The two scoring dynamos combined for 33 points. Kellogg would finish 7-11 (5-8 from beyond the arc) for a game-high 19 points with 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals. Kellogg was also named Cedar Run District Player of the Year on Friday. 

Powell would tally 14 points, going 5-11 (2-3 3P) from the field with 2 rebounds, a team-high 4 assists and 2 steals. 

They'd head into the final period up 44-19. Patriot had their most competitive quarter in the fourth, outscoring OP 17-14. They were led by junior Addisyn Banks with 12 points. OP sophomore guard Angelina Yann would cap off the Yellow Jackets shooting from deep with a beautiful high-arcing three to put her team up 27. 

Osbourn Park used their trademark defense to the tune of 16 steals, forcing 21 Patriot turnovers. They'd also finish the game going 8-13 (61%) from beyond the arc. Freshman center Alex Brown had a team-high 11 rebounds with 6 off the offensive glass.

Under Chrissy Kelly, Osbourn Park has won the Cedar Run district championship four out of the last five seasons.

I caught up with Chrissy Kelly after the game as she reflected on winning Osbourn Park's second straight district championship. 

"This is a big one. This is a group that really had to make a decision after losing the amount of kids we did coming into the season. This group had zero experience in regards to being in this moment. For them to rise to the occasion, I'm just extremely proud. I love this group. They're just a really great group of kids."

On the horizon for Osbourn Park stands a first round regional playoff game against Forest Park on Monday night at 6:30 pm at home. 

"One day at a time. We have to work on tomorrow. We have to get Alana's ankle healthy. We just have to keep working on the little things that keep you playing for a long period of time."

Osbourn Park Avenges Loss Versus Unity Reed in Opening Round

Osbourn Park used homecourt advantage to beat Unity Reed in opening round action on Thursday night.

Osbourn Park's regular season ended on a sour note last Monday when they lost to Unity Reed, 79-68. They looked to right the ship Thursday in opening round playoff action and did just that, winning 69-56 at home.

Jeremy Coleman's Yellow Jackets were aggressive from the start. Not even thirty seconds in, senior guard Logan Dwyer completed a three-point play. Dwyer would later find freshman guard RJ Jones  for a three-pointer to put OP ahead 11-2, forcing a Unity Reed timeout with 3:32 left in the first quarter. 

Osbourn Park's home crowd brought the energy all night long, including support from the the 19-1 girl's team.

Sophomore guard Tay Faison returned after a one game absence and was a factor all night for Osbourn Park on both sides of the ball. Unfortunately for OP fans, he'd collect a technical foul early on after an interaction with a Unity Reed player. Senior Lions guard Sean Scott would hit both free throws to make it 11-4. Unity Reed's first eight points would all be off free throws. 

With just over a minute to go, senior guard Daniel Salguero would find freshman guard Jalen Proctor for a three-pointer to go ahead 18-10. The quarter would end with the home team in control, up 20-10.

Proctor would return the favor early in the second quarter when he assisted on a Salguero three. Junior center Josh Okuadido would build off that momentum with a baseline dunk to push the lead to 25-12. Unity Reed would burn another timeout. 

Things would not improve for the Lions as Logan Dwyer timed his steal perfectly off an errant pass, dashing to the other end for two points and giving OP a 15 point lead, 27-12. OP's three-point barrage would continue via Proctor and Salguero to give the Yellow Jackets a 20 point lead at 36-16. They'd shoot 8-17 (47%) from beyond the arc. 

Ball movement was a key ingredient all night long, a great display being when Salguero stole the ball, passed to junior big man Cam Portis who found Logan Dwyer for a layup giving OP a 22 point lead. Dwyer realized the significance heading into the night, and even more after the win. 

"I thought we came out with great energy and maintained it throughout the game. We played a great team game with lots of people scoring. Overall it was a great way to start off the playoffs and even sweeter as a senior because I want to leave the program right and I think we are on the path to do that." Dwyer would also lead OP in assists with 6. 

Those Logan mentioned scoring included himself (11) and four other players in double figures: Tay Faison (11), Daniel Salguero (10), Okuadido (17), Proctor (10). 

Portis would pick up his second foul when he'd collide with Sean Scott later in the half. Scott would stay down and come out of the game, but gather himself to return soon after. Osbourn Park would go into the half up 41-23. 

The Yellow Jackets would have five players score in double digits: Josh Okuadido, Logan Dwyer, Tay Faison, Daniel Salguero and Jalen Proctor. (photos via Amber Bonner)

OP would find more success early in the third and extend the game to their largest lead of the night of 24 points at 52-28 following two Josh Okuadido free-throws. OP would take advantage of the charity stripe, shooting 11-14 (78%) on the night. 

They would then hit their roughest stretch of the night as Unity Reed went on an impressive 15-3 run to get within 12 points at 55-43 following a jumper from Sean Scott and a three-pointer from junior forward Charles Pargo. Yellow Jackets head coach Jeremy Coleman would call a timeout with 3:54 left in the game. 

Immediately after the timeout, sophomore guard Trey Terrell would pass it to Tay Faison who connected with Okuadido for another dunk. Okuadido would have a double-double that included 17 points and 10 rebounds. He'd go 5-7 from the free throw line and have a season-high 6 blocks. He'd dazzle on the baseline all night long with a variety of dunks and even a reverse layup for good measure. I spoke to Okuadido after the game. 

"Our loss against Unity Reed shouldn't have happened. We had to set the record straight when we came out to play them. I've been putting in more work on my movement on offense and it's been paying off in recent games."

He continued, "I want us to have the same energy tonight on Monday when we face Patriot and do our thing."

Josh Okuadido led the Yellow Jackets with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 blocks.

I caught up with head coach Jeremy Coleman after the game. 

"Tonight we came out with lots of energy and were determined to limit their open looks. We knew we'd have to rebound the ball well. Josh was tremendous in leading the effort in all facets of the game. Cam Portis also provided solid defense. Jalen Proctor hit some key long balls off the bench, too. This is a great victory for these young men and the program and I'm proud to be their coach."

Osbourn Park gets a few days off prior to their semi-finals matchup versus 20-0 Patriot on the Pioneers court. They are 0-2 against them on the season, last playing on January 24th. Tipoff is at 7 pm.

Buzzworthy: Tavyahn Faison

(photo via Amber Bonner)

Osbourn Park recently wrapped up their regular season, securing home court in the first round of the playoffs versus Unity Reed Thursday night at 6 pm. Take a look at a big piece to the puzzle this season for the Yellow Jackets- sophomore guard Tavyahn Faison.

1. When did you become interested in basketball? 

I started playing basketball at the age of three in Oxon Hill.

2. Do you or have you played any other sports? 

Of course. I played football until I was 12 or 13. I also played soccer and tee ball when I was younger.

3. Players you follow or influence the way you play? 

Sharife Cooper and Kyrie Irving

4. You can certainly score the ball, but you're also a very good defender. What do you credit that to? 

Knowing that defense wins games. Playing defense is the easiest thing to do on the court.

5. How would you discuss the team's energy in general? 

We have good days and bad days, but I look at my team as a brotherhood and what matters most is that we keep working hard together as a team.

6. What do you see as your role this season? 

I'm the piece of the puzzle here to encourage my brothers to play at their highest potential individually and as a team. I'm big on assists to make sure everyone is included. Basically, when they score I score and we're playing as a team. MBK (My Brother's Keeper)..something my dad has always instilled in my heart and I will forever live by, on and off of the court.

7. What does it mean to you to be a sophomore on varsity? 

It means that my hard work is paying off. I train with the best in the area (Chauncey Beckett - MVM), constantly study film and clips, and play competitive basketball with the VA Legends during my off-season.

8. Goals before the season started? And have they changed at all? 

A personal goal for me was to be the top defender in the area. I believe that I have proven that I can defend and shut down the best of them this season. 

9. What would success be for this year's Yellow Jackets? 

I believe we have already succeeded when you compare our record from this season to last season. For this season, the greatest success would be bringing the championship home to Osbourn Park.

10. Switching gears- favorite class and why? 

PE. Because I can run around and ball and not think about additional stress. While I'm learning, I still get to wind down.

11. Least favorite class? 

Spanish

12. What were your goals in the classroom heading into the school year and have they changed since? 

Coming from a very tough year of virtual learning, my main goal was and is to try to stay focused and do the best I can.

13. Any hobbies/talents outside of basketball? 

I really enjoy fishing and going to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. It's so peaceful.

14. Favorite pre-game meal? 

Chick-Fil-A. Two chicken sandwiches and an eight count nugget meal.

15. How do you stay sharp when not practicing with the team? 

I either go train with my trainer (Chauncey) or I find a basketball court to put in some work with my dad and my boys.

16. Thoughts on the team's record this season? 

A lot of the games we lost, we shouldn't have. The coaches and players have been learning together to adjust. 

17. Favorite moment so far this season? 

That feeling of getting my first in-game dunk at the NZone.

18. What was your mindset heading into the recent stretch of four games in four days? 

Take it one game at a time, work in the moment and be the best on the court. Get plenty of rest and try to stay hydrated.

Osbourn Park Loses to Unity Reed in Regular Season Finale

Osbourn Park gathers right before tipoff. 

(photo via Amber Bonner)

Coming off two road wins in a row against and Unity Reed and Osbourn, the Yellow Jackets looked to make it three in a row in their final regular season game against Unity Reed- this time at home. Unity Reed would not be lion lying down for OP and won, 79-68. 

Unity Reed jumped out to a quick 13-3 lead forcing Osbourn Park head coach Jeremy Coleman to burn a timeout early. The Yellow Jackets would rally behind a trio of three-point shots- two from freshman guard Jalen Proctor and one by senior big man Malcolm Bilal. Unity Reed would be in firm control after one quarter, 20-12. 

Sophomore Trey Terrell led OP with 20 points.

A three pointer by Lions senior guard Sean Scott would give his team a 14 point lead in the second quarter at 31-17. OP sophomore guard Trey Terrell would soon after get a steal and a layup. Unfortunately for the home team, they were never able to build off positive plays for a majority of the night. Terrell would lead all OP scorers with 20 points adding in 5 steals, 3 assists and a rebound. 

Senior guard Logan Dwyer would try a layup, but get fouled by Unity Reed junior Armond Kenbeng. Kenbeng would be caught by officials staring down Dwyer and earn himself a technical foul on top of the personal foul. Trey Terrell would make both technical free throws to bring OP within 8 points at 31-23.

Osbourn Park freshman guard RJ Jones would be called for a charge with his team down 37-25, but on their next possession Dwyer would find senior center Cam Portis for a bucket to pull within ten points at 37-27. Portis would finish the game with 11 points, 9 rebounds (6 offensive), 2 blocks and 2 steals. 

Junior Cam Portis had one of his best games of the season with 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Lions junior forward Charles Pargo would nail a three-pointer to extend the lead to 42-27 just as the half ended. Unity Reed would be hot all night and finish with 13 three-pointers made. 

The Yellow Jackets biggest run of the night would come in the third quarter when they scored 13 unanswered points to get the score within a basket. During that run junior Josh Okuadido would finish a three-point play, Cam Portis would hit two free throws and Trey Terrell would get another steal and easy layup. 

Despite that run for the home team, Unity Reed would get back to their hot streak from beyond the arc while also using the offensive glass to get easy second chance baskets. Pargo would drain another three but was countered by OP senior Daniel Salguero's three-point play to end the quarter. The Lions would be up 58-45 after three. 

Unity Reed closed out the fourth strong with more three's from Pargo and junior forward Malachi Smith. A three-point play by Sean Scott put them up 70-53. The closest OP would get was within ten points after a 7-0 run to 70-60. 

Osbourn Park will be hosting the first round of the playoffs Thursday night at 6 pm against Unity Reed. It will be the teams' third matchup in four games.

Osbourn Park Beats Osbourn For Second Straight Win

 

Osbourn Park secured home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs with their win over Osbourn on Friday night.

(photo via Amber Bonner)

The Yellow Jackets were riding high after their road win versus Unity Reed Thursday night, looking to take that momentum into their matchup versus Osbourn on Friday. They did just that, winning the pivotal conference game 60-54. 

I immediately observed Osbourn's impressive introduction of the starting lineups, featuring the lights going out then a spotlight on the Eagles side of the court as the starters run down a gauntlet of staff/cheerleaders. Eagles fans fed off that and were a true sixth man to the team all night long. With it being Senior Night, an all senior lineup started the game for Osbourn.

The game started off in one of the most unique ways possible. OP won the tipoff when junior big man Josh Okuadido tipped it to sophomore guard Trey Terrell. Terrell collected it and looked to set up the half court offense. But before they could get into it, the Osbourn Park coaches frantically told Terrell to go towards the other basket. Terrell obliged, and ran towards it for an easy layup. After a pause in the game to discuss it, the refs counted the basket and play resumed with both teams facing their correct basket. I asked Terrell about that play after the game.

"At the beginning of the game I was so confused at first when everyone was telling me to run the other way until I realized what was really happening."

OP replicated Thursday's 6-0 run to open the game. Osbourn would sub in their usual starting lineup and eventually tie things at 8. The Yellow Jackets would end the quarter on a 7-2 run, highlighted by a Jalen Proctor three-pointer off one leg right before the quarter ended. Proctor would come off the bench to score 12 points on 5-6 shooting, going 2-3 from behind the arc. He'd also add two steals and a rebound. Senior guard Logan Dwyer would also have 12 points on 4-8 shooting, going 2-5 from three. Dwyer would chip in two rebounds, one assist and one steal as well. 

Freshman guard Jalen Proctor would give OP 12 points off the bench.

Osbourn sophomore center Brandon Ahlers would nail a three pointer to get within four of OP at 17-13. Osbourn Park would call a timeout at the 5:13 mark of the second quarter, but wouldn't find much success in the next few plays with turnovers resulting in a Teyvien Barbour three-pointer and another ending in a Ahlers jumper giving Osbourn an 18-17 lead with just over four minutes left in the half. 

OP would eventually get hot from beyond the arc when senior Daniel Salguero hit one from deep off an assist from junior Cam Portis. They'd force an Eagles turnover resulting in a Logan Dwyer three via RJ Jones.  Fans would experience deja vu as Jones found Logan again from three on their next possession as OP went up 26-22. Osbourn Park would head into the half up 28-24. 

Things would start rocky in the third quarter when Barbour would steal the ball and convert a layup and additional free throw to cut the OP lead to 28-27. The talented sophomore would cap off a 17-11 run with a three to take a 44-39 lead with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Osbourn Park would answer with a Proctor layup followed by a Salguero steal and assist to Proctor. Both teams would have 46 after three quarters. 

Senior Logan Dwyer would score 12 points against Osbourn.

Salguero would find RJ Jones for another assist and an and-one opportunity early in the fourth quarter. Jones would be the team's third double-digit scorer with 11 points on 4-7 shooting with two assists, two steals and a perfect 3-3 from the charity stripe. 

Teyvien Barbour would go down with an ankle injury with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. He'd limp off under his own power and would eventually return a little over a minute later. He'd lead all scorers with 22 points. Senior Diego Aviles would have 17 points. 

The final stretch of the game was amplified by both crowds bringing the energy all night long. OP would get called for palming. On their next possession they'd look for an inbounds but have to call a timeout. Coming out of the timeout, Osbourn's stifling defense forced a turnover as OP failed to get the ball inbounded. 

Osbourn would inbound the ball after a timeout but Trey Terrell would jump the pass and convert to make it 58-54. Two more free-throws from Okuadido would seal the deal for OP. Terrell would elaborate on his mindset heading into that key defensive play.

"I kept telling myself I have to run really fast if I want this steal. I just timed it perfectly. Luckily I was able to grab the ball for an easy layup."

I spoke with Osbourn Park head coach Jeremy Coleman after the game. 

"It's always tough to get a win at Osbourn. Between the band and the cheerleaders, it felt like the whole city of Manassas was here tonight. We knew we'd never stop Tey, but we had to limit his open looks. Diego was also a difference maker for them. But Trey got the steal at the end because he's a blur and big time players make big time plays. Jalen was also a force for us off the bench and provided incredibly efficient minutes."

I also asked him about having homecourt for Thursday's playoff game. 

"I can't recall the last time OP had homecourt for a playoff game. Certainly long before I got here. It's a tremendous accomplishment because playoff atmosphere is different. But before we get there, we cannot overlook Unity Reed. Rolling into the playoffs on a three game win streak would be huge."

The win brings Osbourn Park to 10-10 (6-7) on the season before their final regular season game against Unity Reed (8-13, 4-9) at home on Monday at 7:00 pm.

Osbourn Park Snaps Losing Skid With Win Over Unity Reed

The Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets came into Thursday night's game against Unity Reed having lost four in a row. The game was their third in as many days, and Osbourn Park came out strong by winning 60-51. 

OP would jump out immediately to a 6-0 run kicked off by an RJ Jones three-pointer made possible by Tay Faison. Minutes later, sophomore Trey Terrell found junior big man Josh Okuadido for an easy layup to go up 10-4 and forced Unity Reed to call a timeout with 4:46 left in the opening quarter. Okuadido would grab an offensive rebound and try to put it back soon after and was fouled. He'd miss the free throw but the Yellow Jackets would continue to lead 12-8. 

With two minutes to go, Jones would dish it to Okuadido for a poster-worthy dunk....but it was too good to be true as Jones was called for a charge on the play. OP would end the quarter up 20-16. 

Fast forward to 2:46 left in the second quarter when Okuadido snags his tenth rebound and is fouled again on the putback. The OP junior would finish the first half with as double-double (10 points, 12 rebounds). A minute later, senior guard Logan Dwyer would hit a three-pointer off a Tay Faison assist to push the lead to 9 at 27-18. Unity Reed would trail 31-21 as halftime approached. 

A Unity Reed layup in the third quarter would cut the lead to five at 33-28, forcing OP head coach Jeremy Coleman to call a timeout to refocus his squad. Coming out of the timeout, Trey Terrell would use a pretty pass to get Okuadido another easy bucket. Tay Faison would be fouled and hit both his free throws. The sophomore would finish the night with eight points- all by way of a flawless night at the charity stripe. He'd lead the team in assists with five, too. 

Each time the Lions would look to creep back into the game, Osbourn Park shut the door on their rallies. Faison would hit another pair of free throws as would Terrell, giving OP a 43-31 lead with 1:18 to go in the third quarter. 

Faison would get called for a foul on a three-point attempt by senior guard Sean Scott. He would go 1-3 from the line. As it was senior night for Unity Reed, Scott was earlier announced at having accepted a football scholarship to Glenville State University. 

Osbourn Park would waste no time in the final quarter when Terrell stole an errant pass and convert it for a layup to put OP up 45-32. At the 7 minute mark, Tay Faison found Okuadido for an electrifying dunk that brought the entire Yellow Jacket bench to its feet. 

Unity Reed would call another timeout at the 3:14 mark with Osbourn Park up 50-41. Terrell was not done on the night, finishing at the rim, drawing a foul and hitting the free throw which put his team up 10 points. The sophomore would finish tied for the most points on OP with 16 (shared by Okuadido). Trey would also add in 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, shooting 6-7 from the charity stripe. 

A late Okuadido turnover would lead to a Sean Scott three-pointer, but OP would batten down the hatches and win by nine points. Okuadido finished the game with 16 points, 25 rebounds (8 offensive), 3 blocks with 2 steals. 

Osbourn Park had 46 rebounds on the night and finished 18-23 (78%) from the free throw line as a team. 

I asked Josh about his performance and what he thinks led to it. 

"The team was really together in the locker room, listening to music to get ourselves hyped. It really made me want to push myself harder today. It felt great to stop the losing skid and push forward as we continue our season and towards our goal of the playoffs. Tomorrow versus Osbourn we need to go above and beyond what we did tonight."

The win puts Osbourn Park at 9-10, with a rival game at Osbourn Friday night. It is not only a road game, but Senior Night as well for the 6-12 Eagles. Tipoff is at 7:30 pm.

Osbourn Park Falls on Road to John Champe

 

Osbourn Park faced John Champe for the second time in two nights. While it was far more competitive than their 71-58 loss Tuesday night, the Yellow Jackets would lose 59-52. 

Champe used a quick start Tuesday night to gain firm control of the game. On Wednesday, OP was dialed in immediately on both sides of the ball. With both teams knotted at 6, sophomore guard Trey Terrell would find fellow sophomore guard Tavyahn Faison for a three-pointer to take a 9-6 lead. The strong play would continue and Osbourn Park led 16-12 after the first quarter. 

The Knights would answer and kick off the second quarter with a 10-3 run to go up 22-19. Junior guard Ralph Martino would throw down an electrifying dunk followed by a few layups from his teammates. The Yellow Jackets would answer right back a few  minutes later, taking a 27-26 lead via a Daniel Salguero free throw. Junior big man Cam Portis would take a timely charge to give OP the ball back. Despite the gritty effort, Champe would take a slim 29-27 lead into halftime. 

OP looked to pick up where they left off when in the third when senior guard Logan Dwyer would steal a ball from the Knights and draw a shooting foul on the way to the basket. He'd hit 1 of 2 and finish with 9 points on the night (2-3 from the three point line.) The Knights would take a 43-41 lead into the final quarter. 

Things would get a but chippy in the fourth quarter during a scramble for the ball. Portis would be lying on the ground awaiting to get up when a Champe player intentionally dropped the basketball on his head. Portis would shove him and receive a technical foul along with his opponent. 

Cam would wind up with the ball again and draw a foul while making the basket. His missed free throw would be his only on the night. (2-3).

With 7:13 to go in the game, Trey Terrell would draw a foul and get the game to within 4 points. Faison would draw another foul a few minutes later to make it 47-43, John Champe. 

Trey would draw another foul on a hapless defender and sink two more free throws to give him 10 points on the night and get within three points at 50-47.

The home team would use the next two minutes to go on a small run, up 56-47 with 2:17 left to go. 

Josh Okuadido would use an offensive rebound to get the ball back, but it was stolen from him. Okuadido would finish with another double-double that included 13 points and 10 rebounds. Osbourn Park's final basket would come when Logan Dwyer drilled a three-pointer off the glass to make the score 59-52. 

Osbourn Park finished shooting 45% and 6-16 (38%) from beyond the arc while going 12-18 at the free throw line. The team would have a season-high 13 assists. The previous high was 12. 

Osbourn Park is now 8-10 on the season, with two games left this week. Thursday night they travel to Unity Reed and Friday they are at Osbourn. Both are senior nights for the respective schools.
