OSullivan Brings Lots of Intangibles
While he may often get overlooked thanks to 6-0 point guard Tyler Relph and 6-8 forward Ryan Pettinella, 6-5 forward Marty O'Sullivan (right) of McQuaid Jesuit H.S. in Rochester, N.Y., does a lot of little things for the Knights.
O'Sullivan scored 10 of his 19 points in the second half last weekend to help McQuaid Jesuit post a 73-60 victory over Harrisburg (PA) H.S. in the Prime Time Shootout and remain perfect on the season.

O'Sullivan's offensive output was critical, because the Knights were held to 32 second half points after opening up a 41-26 lead at the break. He hit three of four free throws over the game's final :35 to help McQuaid salt away the victory.
All of this is good news for Fairfield fans, as O'Sullivan signed with the Stags in November.
"West Virginia Assistant Coach Jeff Neubauer was at our game last Thursday night and was so impressed with Marty and how much he has improved," McQuaid Head Coach Joe Marchese said. "Marty got 16 rebounds on Thursday night, and tonight he had 19 points, eight rebounds and four or five blocked shots."
"He does a little bit of everything," Marchese said. "He knows the game so well, and he's going to be a good one for Coach O'Toole at Fairfield."
Thanks to O'Sullivan, the Knights ended the regular season on Saturday at 20-0. They are now looking forward to winning a state crown, and if they are to do so, there's little doubt that O'Sullivan will play a key role for McQuaid Jesuit.
