West Milford Outlasts Kennedy 66-58 In O.T.!!

Paterson…….Senior Connor Healy(right) steal late in the 4th sent the game into overtime and his 7 points in the extra session helped West Milford sneak out of Kennedy H.S. with a 66-58 win! In an exciting contest, Kennedy seemed to be in control until a turnover and a steal by Healy tied the score at 53! Kennedy got one last shot in regulation, but Junior Sammy Singletary’s jumper just missed! The overtime stanza began with a “triple” from Singletary to put the Knights up 56-53, but a jumper and a “triple”by Healy moved West Milford ahead 58-56! Senior Tyler Coyle‘s layup off a feed from Healy made it 60-56 and took the air out of a Kennedy comeback! Coyle(left) who is going to Lehigh for football was a man amongst boys in the paint! He scored 12 points and grabbed an impressive 20 rebounds in the game! West Milford also got great contributions off the bench from Senior Jordan Wright(right) and Junior Josh Basket(#5)! Each came off the bench to score 13 points apiece with Wright hitting on three “triples’! Healy finished with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists! Singletary led Kennedy with 16 points while Senior Dawon Lighty added 12 and Senior Jhamir White and Junior Jamaar Ellerbee scored 11 points apiece! West Milford record moves to 8-2 while Kennedy fell to 8-4!
