PASSAIC COUNTY TOURNAMENT: KENNEDY DEFEATS EASTSIDE 84-54!

In a tremendous display of offense, Kennedy got on all cylinders to defeat Eastside 84-54 and take the Passaic County Title! Senior Deishon Harrison controlled the tempo as they put pressure on Eastside from the start! Senior Mark Heber started the onslaught with two straight “triples” to start the game! After Eastside answered to keep it close in the 1st, but Kennedy started to pull away in the 2nd quarter as they led at the half 41-24! The 3rd was a continuation as Sophomore Yasen Crawford scored 11 points in the quarter to extend the lead to 63-39 at the end of the 3rd! One big factor in the game was that Senior Jalen Hargrove was unable to play because he was unjustly disqualified in the County Semifinal game so he had to sit, but Senior Bre’quan Moore subbed for Hargrove and was stellar in the contest as he was a defensive force! He finished with 9 rebounds and 5 blocked shots and altered even more! Harrison finished with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, while Crawford added 17 points and 3 steals and Heber scored 15 points! Junior Levi Holton and Freshman Preston Brown led Eastside with 12 points apiece and Sophomore O’Shamier Majette chipped in 9 points and 8 rebounds!
