The Cardinal O'Hara Lions had yet another successful season in 2024 after coming off a PCL Championship in 2023. In 2023, O'Hara went undefeated in the Catholic League, then ultimately used that momentum to propel them to a Catholic League Championship. In 2024, the regular season was much of the same as the Lions went undefeated in regular season play. O'Hara's regular season consisted of three sweeps in Catholic League play, with those victories coming against Archbishop Wood, Little Flower, and Archbishop Ryan. Coach, Patti Fitzgerald, led another season for the Lions along the sideline. During her time at O'Hara, Fitzgerald has been able to successfully create a program that is prided on her ability to develop talent. After an undefeated regular season, O'Hara was set to play Archbishop Carroll in the Catholic League finals. In the beginning of the season on September 12th, O'Hara and Carroll faced off for the first time in 2024. Both teams battled hard before O'Hara eventually came away with a narrow 3-2 victory. This time, when the teams met up again in the middle of October for the Catholic League championship, it was Carroll getting the best of the Lions. While O'Hara was unable to repeat as Catholic League champions, they still came away with a runners-up plaque to add to their trophy case. Despite the disappointment of not going back to back, the Lions still had much to be proud of in 2024. Based on the precedent the program has set, they'll come back stronger than ever next year ready to prove a point. The Lions are set for a huge bounce back year in 2025.
