Selected to participate in a halftime contest during the annual intrasquad scrimmage on October 5th, Sgt. O’Connor won the package valued at $30,000 from Ohio CAT, thanks to Smith draining a half-court shot.

Fast forward one month, and on Thursday, November 5th, the Army veteran received his prize from the Cavs player and representatives of Ohio CAT at their Broadview Heights location.
