            High Tech overcame a 20 point 1st quarter deficit to over take Kennedy Highschool 69 – 63 in a Freedom Fighters Hoop Challenge contest. Kennedy pulled out to a 25 – 5 lead and seemed to be coasting until the Knights 5’10 guard Daquere Hayes, who is the heart of their squad passed out during the game late in the 1st. While he quickly recovered, he was no longer available for the rest of the game. Kennedy seemed to never quite recover as a balanced attack led by Xavier Corporan, who’s 4 threes were the catalyst to their comeback. Corporan and John Greenwald each finished with 15 points while Dimitri Pearson and Derek Sierra each finished with 14.  Greenwald also added 10 rebounds for Tech. Kennedy was led by Shondel Stewart with 26 points and 6 rebounds. The Knights got an outstanding game from Jaemille Barnes who scored 14 points and pulled down 17 rebounds. Dawon Lighty added 13 points.
