Kennedy Endures Eastside 71-66!

           It never changes! The Eastside- Kennedy rivalry is still one of the best and most entertaining in the state and what you got today was another classic! Kennedy’s never give up mentality is what got them this hard fought 71-66 win over Eastside. Eastside played great for 3 quarters, at one point seeming to take complete control of the game after an eye raising one handed dunk by 5’8″ Karon Abraham  put the Ghosts up eleven. The Knights however, were not impressed as they seemed to get a spark out of the play more than Eastside. Kennedy’s Shondel Stewart, who was outstanding the entire game with 34 points and 10 rebounds, scored 19 points in the second half, but the second half star was Asmar Edwards who scored 15 points in the second half, including 11 in the 4th quarter.  He finished with 19 and made clutch shots late in the game. Dave Robertson-West had a solid game for Eastside scoring 22 points and 8 rebounds. He only scored 5 in the second half, but reached a milestone getting his 1,000th point of his career on his first basket of the game. Abraham finished with 25 points, 4 assists and 3 steals. Kennedy got a surprise effort from Mikel Dixon who made a key steal and free throw late, subbing for Antoine Alexander who was in foul trouble.
