Senior Hassan Townes and Freshman Alphonso Gee have established themselves early in the year as the players that the Knights rely on the most! But in order to be a team that competes at the end of the season your role players have to give major contributions! Kennedy beat Passaic County Tech behind the play of their role players! The play of Senior Justin Kinchen, Sophomore Jaloni Morris and Senior Jamire Grant proved to be the difference for Kennedy as Kinchen(right) changed the game in the 3rd quarter on both ends of the floor, Morris(center) made key plays throughout and made up for the loss of Gee(fouled out) in the middle of the 4th and Grant(left) scored all of his points in a minute and a half  spurt late in the game to give Kennedy the lead for good! Kinchen scored 11 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and made a huge block late to help secure the win! Morris acored 13 points and Grant’s 7 points were the most important as his “triple” gave Kennedy a 61-56 lead with 2:06 left and his two free throws iced it! Gee led Kennedy with 16 points and Townes finished with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 4assists and 5 steals! Kennedy had to overcome  P.C.T.Senior Isaac Williams 25 points and 4 steals, Junior Zaheem Beal’s 10 and Senior Kori Haggie who was tough on the boards finishing with 13!
