Care one Kennedy two and one seconde was good two2 from the line 5 n and nice little Run for the spart Rivera swor by two Norris fouled right just at midp on Gracie his first team second we’re playing very half tra right now got Shen will’ll be inbounding the
Ball just at Mid court with Kennedy going left to right on your dial Coleman guarding is Rossy Coleman fade away no good off the back iron one done is pen here go the Spartans that’s Williams pass over to pedway pedway right side swinging around the4 line there’s Drew
Williams on the drive Drew Williams the right hand trying to get his own rebound one and done rather two and done are the Spartans in the corner Rivera trying to spin by he goes to sheen sheen one bounce pass to Morrison nice giv and go Sheen missed the left low post
And then somehow Kennedy’s able to keep it alive for a second chance coach great effort on that one great two onone pass one side to the other unfortunately didn’t make the layup nice move by Morris in his first point of the game it cuts what was a 5
Nothing run by the Spartans it’s now 52 with 536 to go in the first quarter Chris haers alongside Jack taglia that was a nice pass coach it was excellent Williams to Rossi good it’s just getting beat back it’s uh uh that’s unacceptable 72 Spartans lead 520 to go in the first
Three by Morrison a little bit short one and done Brae on the defensive rebound br will bring up mid now three4 of the Court Drew Williams right to left his career three by Williams that’s Jeremiah Williams no good defensive rebound by Rivera nice one and done
Yeah J top of the key of Morrison Morrison regains the dribble Morrison on the drive trying to work through two it looks like it may have actually hit the Mike Blake on referee referee got the worst of that one what’s going on today we got a trip by Kennedy on the
Official now the basketballs hit uh Blake one of the three officials We Have Tonight a rare sighting with three officials yeah is it just not the night for officials yes they’re having a tough time tonight Morrison inbounding behind the career basket 4 54 to go in the first Morrison
Floats sit High to she and woring number five for Jun in one freshman starting for the Kennedy Eagles two and one coached by interm coach Terence Morrison as Arman Lasser is out with Co here’s morison trying to make a pass it’s a turnover second one by Kennedy here goes
Drew Williams and then Drew was fouled hard I think that maybe on Terrence Morrison we’ll wait as Casino yep that’s going to be on Terren that’s his first team second you know Kennedy’s got you know and hate to be a Critic here but Kennedy has to run run some offense all
They’re doing is one pass looking for a shot make some passes in the offense try to break their defense down a little bit but they’re they’re too quick offensively they’ve got to slow it down a little bit this team can run and Kennedy’s got to offset that first free
Throw made by Drew Williams career three of three from the line Williams 77% from the stripe and you know what coach you can be critical cuz I think Armen would agree with you as I’m sure he’s watching this right now like hey Jack Tagle is on like that’s awesome he’s probably saying
Co shut your mouth hey you coached both Armen and Morrison back in the day I figured I’ve got a little cache because I coach both of them Williams still at the line shooting a second free throw and it’s going to be a little bit short offensive rebound by
Career Second Chance failure by Kennedy gives the Spartans a chance to increase their lead they’re up by 682 a 430 to go but a turnover by the Spartans they’re first of the game Morrison sworn by two Williams now one Retreats that’s pedway Morrison regains the handle of the basketball looking for somebody floats
Sit High horizontal pass to Shen now Tyler Morrison back to Shen into the game is z Marino the junior Shen on the right hand teardrop no good one and done is Kennedy Rossy on the defensive rebound here go the Spartans again that’s Jeremiah Williams in the corner
To Andrew Williams passing for the ball is Marino now pedway into the game is Joseph Fano made a couple threes against wiby back on Friday Jeremiah Williams three and it just rattles in second May three by Jeremiah Williams he’s made 10 threes into this game now he’s got 12 wow that
Kid can shoot there’s no question about it nine-point lead for career with 338 to go in the first Terrence Morrison looking for his spot nice defense by Jeremiah Williams 20 on the shot clock Kennedy going left to right on your dial in their white uniforms two and one
Coach by interm head coach Terence Morrison Morrison on the drive no one and done Kennedy again here goes Drew Williams like a truck hands it off the PED it’s good head away with four 13-2 timeout called by Kennedy 312 to go in the First a full timeout by the Kennedy
Eagles we’ll keep it right here coach I mean like you said once this Spartans team starts to go into their their transition offense it’s it’s hard to stop listen one of the hardest things to do with high school kids is get them the pass basketball and i’ I’ve experienced
That throughout my career but when you play a team as good as career is and as fast as they are you have to slow them down and the only way you can slow them down right now is to pass the ball move the ball and off you got 35 seconds
You’re never going to use the whole 35 make some passes in the offense get the zone to shift I say this all the time you look for gaps in the zone and run some time run some clock it it doesn’t hurt anything and what it does is it
Takes some of the momentum away from career but Kennedy right now is rushing too quickly you know they’re they’re trying to get back all at once they got two points here with uh 3 minutes left in the quarter and you know they want to take the first shot they see got to
Relax settle down run an offense let career play their game don’t play career’s game this game started with a 5 nothing run by the Spartans and career is not looked B coach do you also think too because again we talked about speed of the game varsity JV a lot of these
Kids for Kennedy and a lot of them have only really played JV not much Varsity except for Terence Williams do you think the speed also too yeah I mean in experience counts for a lot Chris I mean a lot of these guys are young kids not turnover for a second no actually
Stays with kenned that’s a gift could have been another turnover as another substitution Coman in how is Fano coach continue yeah they’re they’re not as experienced and that counts for a lot you know I mean these kids are going to get better as the years go on as the
Year goes on but they’re playing a they’re playing a very very well experienced team sizewise quickness and they’ve got their hands full tonight looks like churnovic one of the three officials just wants to make sure that the clock was correct and it was 28 on the shot clock 304 remaining on the game
Clock here in the first quarter 13-2 the score in favor of career they’re up by 11 Morrison with the basketball number 32 Morrison gets it to keman from the left elbow keman on the fade unlucky there off the back iron again one and done a lot of one and DS for Kennedy Kennedy’s
Not getting any second shots at the basket they not rebounding at all Drew Williams what a nice move by the magician he’s a nice player he’s got three 152 career Coleman again little bit short once again another one in done Jeremiah Williams vertical pass from Drew Williams 34 to the
Court Marino horizontal pass the pedway now Drew Williams 25 on the shot clock Tyler Morrison trying to go for the steel basketball’s lost for a second regain by career that’s Marino three by Jeremiah Williams and it’s unlucky there a rare one in done for the Spartans here
Goes Kennedy mid now three fours on the career side Rivera will dribble a couple times outside guarded by Rossy Coleman from the top of the K he’s guarded by Marino Coleman looking finds Tyler Morrison Morrison now outside the three-point line 20 on the shot clock under two to go in this first quarter
15-2 Spartans lead Coleman from the right elbow passes outside to Morrison three that’s an air ball by Morrison another one and done for Kennedy a lot them tonight here in the first Drew Williams on the right hand and good went hard for that he’s got five 138 to go in
The first 172 and a foul called and I think that will be called on Marino that’s his first teams third morison at the line for two and as I was saying 17-2 Spartans lead Kennedy’s getting a track meat with the career and that’s not their game and then they come down
And truthfully that wasn’t a good shot that he took he did get fouled but I mean again got to be a little more patient offensively because this team is going to run them right out of the gym free throw is good coach you know I go
Back to what I mentioned before I have so much respect one for three Kennedy’s at the line for for Morrison and obviously his game I’ve seen him grow since he was a freshman but you can tell that he is and I’m not saying he’s angry playing basketball but you can tell he’s
Trying to do too much because of obviously what he’s seeing as he makes his second free there’s no question about it you know he he knows that the bulk of the offense is coming on going to be on his shoulders correct but by the same token you can’t force shots up
Just because and you can’t take the first open shot you see because all you’re doing is giving the ball right back to these guys re by career is no good that was off the hand of Marino so a 116 to go in the first 174 career leads Morrison found his spot from three
But just a little bit short there here goes career again Jeremiah Williams three4 of the court on the Kennedy side to Drew Williams floats it ey to Jeremiah Williams in the low right post and goes back over retreats to the three-point line now they try to get
Into Drew Williams in the high low game jump ball called and The Possession should be Kennedy Kennedy’s playing aggressively at2 Zone and they’re very aggressive defensively and now they’ve got to channel that on the offensive end and relax a little bit Shen to Tyler Morrison good passing through to Coleman
Coleman outside to Sheen had it tipped by Marino nice job defensively by career here goes Drew Williams three4 to the court in the side of Kennedy Williams right hand a little bit short keman on the defensive rebound came in with eight rebounds per game Jen down to 31 seconds
Remaining in the first Tyler Morrison three no good Terrence Morrison gets the offensive rebound for a second but it’s taken away by Drew Williams the shot clock is off here goes Drew Williams and he’s fouled and count it a possible three-point play for the magician that
Was a great that was a great take to the basket and it’s a great three-point play here foul is going to be on Coleman that’s his second team’s third substitution coming in Bron Brooks only a sophomore will’ll be in again going to you know the the young bench the young
Team that Kennedy is also Damen Elliot is in a junior at a very good football season I think he was a fullback if I remember right uh both he and Fano were part of that Kennedy team to win six games first time ever uh for Kennedy
Football so I actually saw them play St Paul this year and they beat St Paul I was so happy for Chris sarlo and his team this year they did a great job and I was disappointed they didn’t make the tournament free throw is good career four of four from the shride
20-4 16-point lead for career shot clock is off 20 seconds remaining here in the first Chris haers alongside Jack taglio former headit coach of the Kennedy Eagles Sheen to Morrison now Elliot Elliott driving right hand a little bit short fighting for the ball is Brooks Brooks goes in hard and he’s fouled nice
Job by the sophomore there I will tell you Chris that was an excellent piece of offense Kennedy ran here and they did the right thing they’re bringing their defense out pass half court they set up a guy in the middle of top of the key they’re hitting him all the time he’s
Got options either he can go to the basket or guys pinch in from the corner and he can lay off to one of those guys for a layup and he did a fantastic job the problem with Kennedy right now is they can’t score they’re getting some
Decent looks but they can’t put the ball in the basket Brooks makes his first free throw tall kid number 40 something to build off of only a sophomore looking to make his second and he does that’s a nice stroke absolutely abolutely that is a stroke that can age
Well and he’s got good Sid yes he does down to 7 seconds remaining in the first 20 to six career leads Weaver into the game and also Rodriguez and Rodriguez with a turnover into the game those young kids you know young Mistake by Rodriguez only a sophomore Ellie will be
In mouning behind his own basket down to 1.4 seconds Morrison the floater the prayer and it’s no good W almost had it off the back iron looked good to me for a while there for a second Morrison thought he had it but hey first scor is concluded it’s
20-6 and the Spartans they lead over the Kennedy Eagles send it back to the station and we come back second quarter here from the Jack Tagle gymnasium at Kennedy High School right here on 1320 W who else scored for Kennedy I have uh 23 and 40 scored yeah who was the other
Guy that scored for uh for Kennedy with their sixth point and two from Brooks oh Morrison had uh four okay there your six is the other Williams related too no I don’t know no career four four from the free throw line four for four you know what that’s
What wins games too they made two threes when they play a tight game that’s that’s going to be the The Telltale sign they can make zero zero threes made by Kennedy and shot a lot of them you know and again they’re four some of those are
Four shots but I’ll I’ll have to say a couple of times when they got the ball in the middle they did get some good looks oh they were they definitely had some good looks just unlucky can’t they can’t put the ball in the hole here we
Go back here at the Jack Tagle and gymnasium at Kennedy High School I’m Chris Saunders alongside coach Tagle with me Kennedy back on the court they got Brooks Elliot Shen Morrison and Tyler Morrison and K we’ll have Weaver pedway also we’ll have Marino Rodriguez and Andrew Williams and very not surprised but
I get the pass off to sheen sheen horizontal pass to Morrison Kennedy going left to around your D coach I know she said slow it down a little make a pass or two nothing wrong with passing Morrison Swimming by two finds Brooks Brooks brought down to the squirrels
Brooks just trying to find somebody he does in Tyler Morrison Morrison somehow keeps it alive finds the older Terrence Morrison on the yeah five on the shot clock good eye by you coach taglia and Morrison missed the basket should be Kennedy ball and the shot clock does
Reset it will huh 714 remaining in this first half 20-6 in favor of the Spartans Spartans coached by Ronan oerry Morrison vertical pass to sheen sheen driving Sheen with an airball there but Brooks is right there nice job Brooks that is an excellent yeah rebound and putot back good job four Brooks is
Showing something your coach I’m going to tell you I like him I’m sure armen’s like good job Brooks guy which is good how young this team is as well y career swinging around the three-point line three is going to be missed by the Spartans here goes
Terence Morrison off a one and done of career Morrison trying to go coast to coast and he missed the bunny oh boy here goes the Spartans that’s Drew Williams he’s like a truck as I’ve said before he missed the bunny in the right low post trying to put it up high try to
Get the pass to the corner and the Spartans will throw it away Kennedy did good job getting back good job fighting for the ball Spartans start off this game with a 5 nothing run with 312 remaining in the first quarter they were up 13-2 and it’s been uh it’s been all
Spartans basically since yeah I mean if Kennedy could make a couple shots down here and this would uh get him back in the game and that’s the way to beat that by the way putting that guy in the middle Elliot driving no Brooks there he goes on the offensive rebound Brooks
Trying to put it up no fighting for the ball he lost it again that’s Rossy Rossy to pedway with 610 to go in the first half and pedway was fouled and count it the foul on Morrison that’s Tyler Morrison his first team’s first of the second quarter and at the line for two
Will be pedway who is two of two from the line look at you you know everybody be a commissioner of referees oh oh big time yeah never mind that’s impressive impressive first free throw by pedway R CR that’ll be the and one free throw I
Should say and it will be good so pedway three of three from the line pedway now with seven points 25 to8 Spartans lead Brooks near the top of the key to ellot and going left to right in your dial Morrison cuts from left to right rather right to left Drew Williams guarding 17
On the shot clock Tyler Morrison tries to get in the corner he does to Terence Morrison Morrison lost the basketball now sworn by two just gets to Tyler Morrison down to seven whistle is blown and a timeout called by Kennedy with 540 to go in the second quarter
25-8 Spartans lead Kennedy and I think you know coach Morrison the interm coach as Armen lass are out with Co I think sensed that that looked a little bit off coach so call the timeout there can over dribble and you know the dribble is going to get you nowhere and plus
There’s no spacing on the floor MH but as I said when we started the broadcast if you can’t put the ball in the basket it’s hard to win can’t beat anybody no and and defense is a good part of it but offense really wins games especially now with the way the game has
Changed so much yeah and that’s what they do they run gun and if they can shoot the three it’s all over down to zero and no awareness of the shot clock and I Tyler Morrison did not look I mean the shot clock is Right Above the Rim
And I his head was down and a young man’s mistake only a freshman and also too let’s let’s also kind of get on the team a little bit for not saying hey you got seconds 2 seconds you got to shoot it you know we used to talk before the
Shot clock we used to talk about time and score all the time time and score now you got to go time score and shot clock 528 to go in the first half 30 on the shot clock 23 to8 Career Academy leads over the Kennedy Eagles Rossy may have gotten away with a double
Dribble no he traveled I mean they’ve come they’ve made a few trips down here career and come back come out empty Kennedy hasn’t been able to capitalize on the other end and that’s the difference right now they need to put the ball in the basket they
Need to score you know they got a couple of Threes here they can get right back into it careers scored three in this second quarter Kennedy two Morrison gets it to Brooks Brooks to the corner of shien Kennedy going left to right on your di in their white uniforms and a
Pass from ma she and it goes out of bounds looks like he was trying to get it to Rivera in the corner and Rivera is like I’m here not behind the line triple W of purpose he was out of control then pedway has been subbed out so Career
Academy will have Marino Drew Williams Jeremiah Williams also has another player into the game as well looks like trying to see the number that’s number 23 that’s Ethan Blaze former quarterback for the Spartans only a freshman you could tell long kid as well oh my God Jeremiah Williams with
Blown oh reset the clock had to reset the clock yes it was at 16 should have been at 35 from the jump so 442 to go in the second quarter 23 to8 Spartans lead over Kennedy Spartans looking for their fourth win of the season their only loss
Was to Bloomfield and that’s the team they beat in the state championship game last year right yes they lost to Bloomfield by two that game was played eternity that was during the holiday uh tournament and Drew Williams had the final shot but just came up close shot
It from I think about 34 of the Court on the Bloomfield side yeah inbounding will be Jeremiah Williams gets it to Drew Williams it’s the Williams William show yes indeed Ethan Blaze High arcing three oh banks are open did he call that that’s my question okay it does it
Doesn’t count unless you call it it’s now 26 to8 Spartans lead and Rivera with a basket in the left low post his first basket and that gives Kennedy 10 points they’re down by 16 three air ball by Jeremiah Williams one and done his career here goes AA he’s
Open for a second and he missed the bunny in the left blow post but the foul called on the Spartans that’s on Jeremiah Williams his first team’s first you got to make those unfortunately he had a good look at it but I get it you know hey as you’re young you’re
Inexperienced but uh those those are the ones you have to have as the former assistant coach at Sacred Heart used to say Coach Jay Jay would say good tag yeah good tag I mean that was a good foul right I mean force him to have to make free throws here Rivera there you
Go missed the first Rivera 60% free throw shooter Career Academy four rather Kennedy four of seven from the line Rivera averaging seven points per game bring number 21 a junior second free throw is just good Kennedy now five of eight from the stripe 26-1 15-point lead for the Spartans Drew Williams will
Bringing past mid now three fours career going right to left on your dial we’re stationed at midcourt right across the scoring table Blaze throwing it out off the hands of Kennedy in the corner stays Spartans ball just near the Kennedy bench which Minds you their bench is
Also not a lot of players yeah they’re a little thin I just noticed that myself Drew Williams Ethan Blaze who just made a bank three as you said coach he didn’t call it no shouldn’t count that’s it if if you’re playing if you’re playing out that doesn’t count unless you call it
Marino to blaze correction that’s going to be bracie bracie trying to go high low to Williams he somehow finds the basketball and then missed the bunny and then a pass from Kennedy that’s bracie bracie Swimming by two Blaze another high arching three doesn’t make the three but now a third chance for career
As Drew Williams Blaze inside the three-pointer 15-footers no good from the left corner another offensive rebound for Korea they fourth that’s Ro Rossy brought it down it’s loose picked up by the Spartans down the 20 on the shot clock 313 remaining in the second quarter and driving through and drawing
The foul is going to be Marino there was way too many offensive rebounds there coach you can’t give him three or four looks at the basket no that’s on Tyler Morrison that should be his second team second you’re almost asking for it too coach when you give that many offensive rebounds it’s going
To it’s going to result in a foul or another hoop for them so Mar Marino at the line for his first two free throws first free throw good and that’s actually Marino’s first made free throw of the game or of the season I should say came in 0 for o so there you
Go nice nice way to start the uh post Christmas part of the Season good New Year’s present yeah right second free throw good so career six of six they were four of four in the first quarter 28-1 Spartans lead Rivera driving no missed the basket Brooks on the
Offensive rebound and a jump ball call I have to tell you coach a Workhorse down there really is and you know maybe I’m being rude here but I feel like he’s the only one really getting the offensive rebounds yeah yeah you know these guys have to crash and he’s doing Yan’s work
Down there he can’t do it himself coach no needs some help you’ve got Shen number five to Morrison in the corner there’s Drew Williams right there Morrison no look to Brooks Brooks drawing to two and he traveled or actually no double dribbled I should say even I don’t know what’s
Worse a travel or double dribble they’re both [Laughter] turnovers I mean which one coach did you like which one could you not stand the most traveling I’m very rarely see a double dribble but level traveling especially when they travel at half court I’m saying why are you calling it
There blae lost the basketball it’s loose he regains blaz got uple and then there goes Kennedy that’s Terence Morrison drawing the contact and it rolls in and count it for a possible three-point play nice job by Morrison showing a little bit of emotion you can’t tell me this kid doesn’t care no I
Agree his first team second and I think to coach that’s also frustration from the will be game and obviously this game currently right now yeah yeah no he uh he works hard you know once again he plays the game the right way works hard free throw made six of nine is Kennedy
Morrison now with with seven points 28-4 Spartans still lead the defense you got to admit the defense has been at least strong for Kennedy yeah they they work hard they hustle Drew Williams fade and the foul was going to be on the court it’s going to be on number 10 that’s Damen Elliott
His first team’s third I mean coach as Jeremiah Williams is now coming in for uh Blaze one thing I know about Kennedy is and even going back to your time and now with Lasser and coach Morrison uh defense is such a big part that’s why they made it to the semis and the
Quarters the last two years in division three and division 2 I I you know Armen works works hard with his kids on the defensive side of the ball and you know I I sound like a broken record if that’s half the game right there man if you could stop the other
Team Miss three by career career keeps it alive but they throw it right to Kennedy that’s Rivera Rivera trying to get to Coleman in the post the low post but it’s off the hands of career here so it stays on the Kennedy uh possession uh career trying to defend here to keep
Kennedy off the basket 28-4 is the score 155 remaining in the first half Chris honors alongside Jack taglia Elliot to Morrison over the hand of Williams and he gets the three he’s got a goodlooking shot he really does and he works hard at it he’s
Got 10 he can shoot the ball from from there Drew Williams ped away on the pick Drew Williams right hand teardrop no there’s Brooks on the defensive rebound rebound Elliot working Elliot on the air ball no good by Kennedy here goes Drew Williams one-on-one and he draws the
Foul on Coleman his third team’s fourth that should have better another pass you know as he’s dribbling down the floor he went to the basket got nothing out of it you know it’s just Court awareness experience Drew Williams two of three from the free throw line in the first
Quarter we have another substitution as Juan Fernandez senior will be waiting to come in Andrew Williams first free throw is good a part of that championship team last year in division three they only had three losses last year they lost a danburry by three they lost to Kennedy here yeah
That was 75 to 58 and then they lost the Holy Cross which is amazing 99 to 76 that was an off night for them I was here the night they that Kennedy beat them and and Lennox had a great game yeah that let me tell you something that
Kid he was a stud for Kennedy High School last year he could make a shot wherever and he had such a beautiful high shot almost unblockable yeah at least at the high school level yeah no I wish him well wherever he is but he he was a good good player good kid Morrison
With another May three back to back he’s got 13 Williams missed his second free throw so career seven of eight their first Miss free throw of this first half by the way Kennedy’s only down nine hey how about that three by bracie in the corner Swish and career needed that got
To get your hand up 32 to 20 it’s back to a 12-point lead Kennedy fighting back brought to within nine under 50 but then the three by bracie Morrison three no need for that missed the three trying to fight for the ball is Brooks that’s Drew Williams Drew Williams somehow gets over
Brooks gets past Morrison he’s trying to go Coast to Coast himself he missed the bunny in the right low post and there’s going to be Fernandez on the defensive rebound and he traveled ah that was it worked hard down there but that three-point shot by by Terrence
Morrison was uncalled for that that was too quick you’re not getting your down nine you’re not getting nine points in one shot almost like a heat check right yeah you know make a pass Don’t Force It Rossy to Williams Williams working on Rivera gets in the
Corner to pedway now it’s going to be brace he just made one three missed the three there pedway gets the rebound there’s Drew Williams Drew Williams on the right hand it’s too easy for Drew Williams got to got to get the rebound have to you got to get the rebound 34-20
Down to 7 Seconds Rivera career leads Rivera with three shot clocks off Morrison whistle blow and he traveled I think there should be at least 1 second remaining as looking at coach or rather the official Brad churnovic so they’ll put one second back on the clock so career will have the final
Shot Spartans up by 14 inbounding will be pedway on the career side jermiah Williams the closest one he’s got six points career’s made three threes by the way I’m just noticing these must be new scoreboards I they weren’t here last year when they put the clocks 35 second
Clock up final Hail Mary shot is no good and the first half has concluded with the score 34 to 20 the Spartans lead the Kennedy Eagles will send it back to the station we come back myself and Jack Tagle will kind of go over that first
Half which was a little wonky a little odd but also I mean Kennedy fighting way back but the Spartans just being one step ahead send it back real quick Chris honor alongside coach taglio with me the nvl boys basketball matchup right here from the Kennedy High School gymnasium
Jack Tagle gymnasium I should say right here on 1320 W 97.7 FM for alongside who many many you know what 605 remaining of the halftime 3420 is the score the Kennedy Eagles are down against career uh you think about Kennedy right I mean they were down 5
Nothing early in the game then it was 13-2 still Spartans with 312 remaining in the first quarter but then they found a way with less than a minute to go 29 to 20 Spartans were only up by nine but then a May three by Javon bracie couple they got a basket after
That you care no when I coach team like this my my goal personal goal is to win eight games and make the tournament and Kennedy that’s they that’s what they’re going to they’re going to win games uh and and I’m sure that’s one of their goals
Obviously but I got to tell you I know the score is 14 it could I think next thing is you got to put the ball coach William you got seven from pedway who’s now coming off the bench because of lot being sick right for Kennedy you searing for all right who’s going to
Be that second player right and I think that’s maybe a can score will but I think that is going to be amongst many things that the Kennedy Eagles will be looking for which is who can be that second score behind Terence Morrison and we have uh Terrence
Morrison with would you say 13 that’s three scores and you at the other side of the Ledger and I’m not even going to go through it they 1 2 3 four five six that usually means the other team is winning that’s called balance scoring yeah so Terrence Morrison can’t do do do
It all he’s not getting much help from the rest of the point it’s going to happen for him a very good team they’re going to they’re going to one of the people in the end that are they’re going to play for the league title oh 100 you know
Iisten years going back to 19 right that nogy won again then you had uh the Spartans last year truly think that this year is is I don’t want to say wide open but I think there’s team even career with how much we’ve talked about them there’re still you know there is still questions
Because of the players that graduated in Kennedy and Yates and sunny Pierce we don’t know although tonight obviously pedway stepping up even though he’s a player Off the Bench he’s starting because of lot being sick uh Jeremiah Williams I’ve noticed he’s their three and D guy um bracie made a nice three
He’s been a pretty good rebounder for them there’s questions for them but you know again they’re growing so is Kennedy um coach another question I want to have for you you mentioned how when you had teams like this right talk to me does this team remind you of a particular
Year that you coached and how did that team Faire at the end well we’ve we’ve had a few teams I I can remember I can remember a couple of teams where we won four W four and 16 yeah late ’90s those weren’t very you know when you’re going bad like
They with thinking of kids in my mind I love them for it but yeah you know we start we started out we started out slow We struggled many times with the city teams mhm we knew our goal was to make the tournament we had to beat I’ll say
The Suburban team teams teams that we felt we were more competitive with and if we could steal a game in the city it would be great but yeah we we’ve had teams in the past when we’ve had great players good players we were pretty successful and I’m looking at some of
The names on the board up there and uh when I when we’ve had some of these guys we’ve had some pretty good success but you know what high school’s funny you’re never going to get you know some teams build up and it takes a long time to
Reload you know and Kennedy’s in in a in a building phase right now yeah some teams year toe reload Kennedy they Peak last year they came this close to winning the league championship I was there that night back to back years they they were the runner UPS the last two
Years they lost an ack and they lost a career and and you know graduation kills you and if you’re not building from the bottom and it’s hard to do that it’s very hard you know that’s that’s the that that’s the problem you get in
Before we go can I give a shout out to our C cheerleaders why why not and Caitlyn uh coola mcgan who’s doing a great job I I I I saw him at a football game I couldn’t believe it that they actually showed up for a football game
And they do a wonderful job here cheered for the Kennedy Eagles and Caitlyn does a magnificent job but thanks for letting me say that always I went to school with her brother Nicko chol okay I went to school with him he was two grades above
Me he was one of my good friends good man she’s she’s one and her mother oh she’s so funny and her mother is is a d so oh she’s she’s a tough cookie though she’s a tough cookie I I used to work with her when I was here Kennedy but
Such a nice lady though oh man they are the best would do anything for you they are the best third quarter is underway 2 seconds into the third 34-20 Kennedy down against the Spartans starting five you’ve got bracie who made a three Drew Williams who leads the team in scoring
With 11 averaging 20 also got pedway Rossy and jerem Maya Williams r no Larry watching over his Squad career and their black three by career no Rossy right to his hands and he traveled I was impressed with that first offensive set they used they got the ball they swung
It two or three times shot wasn’t that great however they got the open look and this is what Kennedy needs to do they can’t down 14 a lot of time left be patient hey they brought it to nine that’s the closest they’ve been absolutely Morrison to Rivera Vera
Guarded by bracie now Morrison from the left corner no unlucky there there’s sheen on the offensive rebound there’s Morrison Morrison working by two Morrison looking to go made the basket but he traveled and uh I think his dad who’s the interm coach doesn’t like it coach what’ you see there I I thought
That was that TP that Euro St took you know what Dave hates the Euro Step I mean I thought the kid did a nice job and he put it up left-handed Drew Dre Williams into pedway pedway to bracie Career going left to right in your dial and the left
Lose bunny is no good one and done his career so far nobody has scored with one minute into this third quarter 34-20 Kennedy down against the Spartans high low to Coleman Coleman unlucky there another one and done that was a great pass good look Ry pedway now Williams
One right side that’s an airball that’s a rare airball for Williams Rivera three fors Rivera on the career side he lost the basketball tip by Rossy it’s Drew Williams it’s a two onone and Williams will make the basket he’s got 13 you can’t make three trips down the court
And not score and that’s what happened it’s rare that career doesn’t score on three trips Morrison gets by two Morrison on the fade nice move is’s a good move 15 I think he learned that from his pops 36- 22 it’s back to a 14-point lead each team has scored a basket here in
The third 2 minutes into said third quarter Kennedy staying with their two3 Zone pretty effective Jeremiah Williams now when you say two3 zone for people at home what do you mean uh two two men out one in the middle two in the back there you go Rivera corner
No and I think he hit the top part of the glass yes so back to Kennedy and you know what maybe that’s the adjustment right coming out of half be like hey let’s let’s try something else let’s see maybe what can work here these guys are pretty good one-on-one you play manto
Man they get the step on you they’re going to hurt you you force them to take the outside shot and that’s what the zone does you keep the ball out of the middle nice move there you go that’s the younger Tyler Morrison first points of
The game it’s 362 4 career we got a 12-point lead here Kennedy got it down to nine with under minute to go in the second quarter 2920 that’s as close as they’ve been three good by Jeremiah Williams he’s got nine fourth made three by the Spartans three by Jeremiah Williams one by bracie
Back cour yep that is an unforced error that’s the young man’s mistake only a freshman unconscionable you can’t make that mistake bounce it off your leg in the back courtner you know what I just noticed Rivera trying to get Williams to to uh you know Morrison rather I should
Say be like hey it’s all right just you know just move on it’s okay but I can tell he’s still living in it a little bit Yeah you got to you got to move on you’re right you got to forget it stop him here on defense that’s the bottom
Line make a stop here as you would say right y absolutely Drew Williams outside to bracie from the right corner no nice job by the smallest player on the court and Tyler Morrison Morrison three to the the older Morrison swish oh here we go the assist Tyler Morrison the points
Terrence down to 12 I’ll tell you he can he can shoot that kid I I have to say that he’s got a nice shot he does it’s very he’s got great form 18 for Terence Morrison leaves the team in scoring swing around the three-point line Jeremiah Williams can’t leave him open
He missed the three there Rossy with a volleyball Spike but it’s off of career and back to the Kennedy Eagles this is where you have to make it up you got to come down and you got to you got to score now they’re putting on full court
Press let’s see what happens here Marino is in and now we’ll have a timeout called by career as r o Larry wants a timeout neither team has committed a foul thus far in this third quarter 421 remaining in said quarter 3927 as you heard coach say it’s only a
12-point lead for career it’s been as low as nine but again regardless win or loss I know know win is obviously what every team wants but I think if your coach Lasser watching on YouTube and hopefully he’s still watching and he didn’t go to bed I mean it’s still kind
Of early I think he’s probably on pins and needles prob but I I’m very impressed because when the score was 20 to4 this game could have gotten ugly very quickly and Kennedy has not only fought but they have stayed focused and they seem I I get shots are not going in
Coach but they are playing competitive basketball ab and I’ve been impressed by that that’s a credit to the coaching staff and a credit to the kids the kids played hard they’re not giving up and I’m going to tell you they’re going to a basket here basket here and they’re back into
It again and play good defense and rebound Kennedy basketball stays it was off the hand of a career player in the corner Marino into the game for career Sheen inbounding closest by will be Rivera Sheen floats it over Rossy oh nice move by Rossy almost hit the camera
And he would have taken me out too right before my birthday next week oh boy happy birthday I get tackled an early an early happy birthday to you what do you turn 25 again h i I wish that was about six years ago okay sheen inbounding sheen with Marino’s hands up high finds
Coleman Coleman floats it up oh boy and there’s Drew Williams off of bracie Williams off of coeman and the call blocking foul on Coman that’s going to be his fourth team’s first here in the third first foul for either team here in the third quarter 409 to go
3927 Spartans Kennedy having a hard time like you said on the transition with the pressure yeah and then the transition the transition I I I I feel like any team that’s going to be a struggle coach but specifically we’ve noticed once career goes running you can’t stop them
No and they like to get out and run too so they do a lot of their points came off transition Williams three of four from the free throw line makes a free throw there this young man is a very very good player correction three of five now four
Of six is Drew Williams makes a free throw there career eight of nine from the stripe 40 to 27 13-point lead trying to make it 14 here free throw by Williams is good nine of 10 15 for Drew Williams came in averaging 20 Fano in for Kennedy another full-court press these
Guys are coming up at half court see that easy for Drew Williams again on the steal these guys at half court have to come to the ball Bano Drew Williams another Ste steal his second consecutive to bracie bracie no look putting it back up as Drew Williams
Again he just scored six points in a matter of maybe 10 seconds and that gets Coach O Larry very very happy 4527 yeah this press Le taking Kennedy right out they got the two guys at half court they’re running two guys down at the foul line these two guys at half court
Have to come to the ball he’s got to be able to see more white shirts coming into the basketball because once they face guard the two guys at the foul line he’s got no one to talk no one to pass to so what you’re saying coach almost it’s almost like chess where you’re
Having to M you know basically you can’t stay in one place you got to keep moving you got to find an open area where the guy can pass it to you and you know I see their press offense they put two up front guy taking it out two at half
Court well the guys at half court have to come towards the basketball so you have to be able to see four four players four of your teammates to get the ball in what they’re seeing is the two guys is being face guarded and guy standing at half court waving his arms and he’s
Making the long pass and getting stolen so he’ll make an adjustment Terrence Terren will make an adjustment second timeout called by Kennedy in this quarter you know this went from what a 12p point to an 18-point lead in a matter of minutes here here’s the Press
Again yeah these guys have to have to move to the ball and they’re not Elliots to Tyler Morrison and it’s Stone away bracie no put back by Williams [Applause] yes he’s got 11 Elliot to Terence Morrison they break the press this time Fano from the left corner no Elliott
Fighting for the ball that’s going to be Rossy on the defensive rebound for career 20-point lead for the Spartans with 328 to go in the third Tyler Morrison with the steel it’s a one-on-one him and Marino and it’s nice move by Morrison Tyler very nice he’s got four yep
4729 all right you got to play some defense here now 18p point lead 312 to go in the third career 3 And1 Kennedy 2 and one Kennedy’s next game will be at Holy Cross career will have Danberry at home three by brac’s good he’s got six second made three by
Number four Elliot as career now as 50 make it 50 points with 250 to go in the third Elite inbounding hasano closest by also has Tyler Morrison who has four it’s only been four players that have scored coach for Kennedy yeah I know that that’s that’s they need better better
Balance than that Bano missed the three it goes out of bounds back to Career with 237 remaining in the third one team foul for Kennedy none for career as uh the interm coach Morrison trying to you could say semi workk the officials that’s Brad churnovic he was having a conversation
With inbounding Drew Williams bracie back to Drew Williams pretty well officiated game very well officiated I agree Drew Williams to bracie who just made a three now Marino the junior back to Jeremiah Williams three by bracie not shy to shoot a three but missed one there Elliot on the rebound Elliot
Working on two lost the basketball regain and draws the foul on Marino in the right low post Marino second teams first and Elliot at the line for two trying to become the fifth player to score for this Kennedy team yeah I noticed that one of the things I again
I’m impressed with with career is they are passing the ball they are running an offense they’re getting open shots uh they’re not looking inside as much but they got some pretty good outside Shooters but I’m I’m impressed with their offensive ability first free throw made by Elliot In the game second free throw
Good so Kennedy eight of 11 from the line career 9 of 10 so good free throw shooting by both teams now it’s all about making a stop Jeremiah Williams gets the pass from Drew Williams now bre correction that’s Marino three missed the three Williams one dribble on the offensive rebound lost the basketball
And a jump ball call kenedy’s ball two minutes to go in the third 50- 31 career leads and we’re back to the full court press again 32 go right to the foul line he stand still he got to go to the ball you’re talking about 20
20 I’m sorry oh yeah no you’re good I was like wait who’s 32 32 is Mor I’m seeing things you know you can’t stand still you got to go to the ball even if he went to the corner you’re right full core press Again by career it’s worked
Many times they scored eight points in a matter of seconds and almost got the ball back again stays on Kennedy Kennedy trying to get by mid they do that’s Tyler Morrison Morrison now toen into the game Fano step back drawing one for career Elliott outside to Tyler Morrison Morrison spinning finds Terrence
Morrison Morrison on the drive over two and off the glass nice move by Terrence Morrison yep good strong move to the basket he’s got 20 to think if imagine if Morrison wasn’t having a game like he is I know I know Jeremiah Williams 50- 33 Spartans lead 118 to go in the third
They got a steal Kennedy does here goes Elliott Elliot was fouled no doesn’t get the end one foul is going to be on Marino his third looks like Mike Blake thought that basket went in yeah it didn’t go in I don’t think so no I think he’s tell him
Wait no it didn’t go in hey trust me I maybe it was because he got hit with the basketball in the first quarter he’s now he’s seeing things see [Laughter] double mourinho’s got three personal fouls it’s good steal good take baset yeah very good steal Elliot back at the line made both
Of his free throws previously his third free throw is missed by Jim danom eight of 12 Kennedy came as close as nine points with a minute to go in the second quarter and they’ve been clawing ever since yeah and you can tell the Press really kind of put pressure on them the
Press destroyed them yeah free throws missed 0 of two is Elliot from the line Kennedy 8 of 13 Spartans with Drew Williams in the paint right hand teardrop no off the hand of Marino and it’s back to the Kennedy side of the basketball and here goes the Press again
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it that’s it 105 to go in the third 35 on the shot clock Elliot to Tyler Morrison Morrison gets by breaks the press pass it Morrison takes it himself and he missed the bunny he had him on the Block yes he
Did Drew Williams trying to go Coast to Coast himself and he does not miss off the glass 48 seconds to go in the third 5233 Kennedy rather career oh and they’re saying it’s off of career Mike Blake is saying it was off of career now he wants to co uh have a
Conversation with Dave Casino the second of three officials and Blake is saying that’s off of career and ronan’s like well all right when you’re when you’re up 19 exactly if it was a little closer then you may be seeing red yeah right from Ronin I don’t know what he was looking at
There 29 on the shot clock 44 on the game clock 5233 Spartans lead only loss was to Bloomfield back on the 16th of December a 6361 loss Shen vertical pass to Fano Fano no look somehow gets it to Morrison Morrison to Sheen at the top of the key
20 on the shot clock opening is Fano three off the back iron unlucky there but off of a career player that was BRAC in the corner so it stays Kennedy basketball yeah Kennedy they’re ball you know when you try to break a press you need some ball handlers and they’re struggling handling
A basketball in a press Elliot mayen off of bracie Williams takes it away Williams Jeremiah Williams will make the basket in the left low post his points continue to grow he’s got 13 54 to 33 Spartans lead 16 seconds to go in the third foul is going to be called on
Bracie his second teams second and looks like Drew Williams having a uh conversation with shernic correction that’s going to be brac’s third foul also I mean hey with the score being as is if you’re Drew Williams no need to talk no you’re up 21 I get competition but at the same
Time time in place time in place 14 seconds to go and a turnover by Kennedy Morrison threw it out of bounds and Terence Morrison talking to the younger Tyler Morrison that’s got to be a fun little conversation before during and after games you know you have to you know ball
Handling ball handling is is another as aspect of the game that Kenny’s struggling with right now Drew outside of pedway down to three down to two Williams before the buzzer no and the third quarter has concluded 5433 Spartans lead Kennedy sent it back to the station we come back the final
Quarter here from the Jack Tagle gymnasium at Kennedy High School this the nvl boys basketball game of the week on 1320 W in 97.7 FM e [Applause] back here at Kennedy High School Chris Saunders alongside Jack taglia career leads 50 4- 33 lean scores 21 from Andrew Williams from career and for
Kennedy 20 from Terence Morrison Drew Williams number 24 finds pedway pedway with a move pedway on the fade no for loose ball rather in the left corner picked up by Jeremiah Williams who has 13 trying to get to Rossy who has eight rebounds in the game number 30 also a
Football player as well for the Spartans The Possession will stay with career the Ken basket no you’re good career’s getting a lot of the 5050 balls Kennedy’s got to go after those Marino opening Jeremiah Williams missed the three and Williams trying to keep it alive that was Drew Williams and
He will not so back to Kennedy uh free throw shooting 8 of 13 is Kennedy career 9 of 10 that wins games Chris yeah three throws Five May threes by career and three by Kennedy Morrison to Elliot Elliot no look to Rivera Rivera puts it
Up and off the glass good by Rivera he’s got five 54-35 Spartans still lead a minute into this first quarter we’re rather fourth quarter I should say not the first quarter fourth quarter Marino Kennedy would like to start all over again I’m sure I’m sure they would Jeremiah Williams wearing number
10 only a junor Marino to pedway pedway horizontal pass to Jeremiah Williams they break the Zone PR or zone defense rather Miss three and a foul called on Kennedy I’m telling you I I’m really impressed with career the way they’re patient passing the basketball uh I watched Rossy make a
Nice down screen which gave uh the shooter an open look on a crosscourt pass they’re they’re doing a great job offensively very patient Ellie commits a foul on the court Kennedy’s first of the fourth and there’s Drew Williams with another basket again in the paint he’s got 23
5635 career nice pass by Morrison over to Rivera drawing the defense he’s got four in this fourth quarter surpasses what he had in the entire first three quarters okay right now Kennedy needs a stop they need one bad yep they that need to get a a rebound no second
Shots we’re going to have a hold that’s going to be on number 30 that’s Rossy his first team’s first here in the fourth substitution Jeremiah Williams is out brac’s back in he sets good screens he got caught that time I mean he’s a big kid yeah knows what he’s doing but
Not want to see him behind an alley unless I’ve got Ronin with me there you then I’m good there you go Elliot gets by two and he somehow draws the foul that was churnovic who called it I’m going to call that on he put up 2
Five only put up 10 okay no 30 30 wow okay so he put up 25 I was like who’s 25 30 is Rossy his second team second at the line for two is Elliot he was two of four from the line back in the third both of his points coming from s line
Kennedy eight of 13 from the stripe three fre throw who whoa that was a did you see me how I was like free who [Laughter] I’m sure arman’s like oh jeez well you know the kids are playing hard they give them a lot of credit free
Throw missed you know and they got one back beautiful There He Go was that 21 21 okay that was Rivera Rivera 8 of 15 is Kennedy from the linean Rivera with six points here yeah okay Y and he uh he got the rebound put it back nice
Pass Rossy lost the handle regains in the corner Morrison gets the steal but they blow the whistle on Morrison great steal that’s going to be his second team second as you know they’re going to call that on Drew Williams of career so I apologize so Morrison does not have his
Second foul Kennedy has only one team foul here in the fourth quarter career has three team fouls nice job by Terence Morrison draw on the foul yeah Tyler Morrison guarded by Drew Williams Tyler Morrison to Terence Morrison long range three no there’s Drew Williams on the defensive rebound he’ll Retreat for
Second mid now three fours on the Kennedy side left to right in your dial Drew Williams on a nice hard drop step and he finds the cup again that young man 25 that young man knows how to find the basket he’s good and here he goes again Drew Williams oh nice move the
Magician 27 for Drew Williams three by Morrison no 60 to39 it’s all career and we have a foul called on Rivera you have bracie having to pick up Ethan Blaze I don’t know if that was uh I wouldn’t really call that like a a hard foul I mean no Rivera stopped himself
And then blaz kind of fell after they were going after the ball yeah nothing nothing you know nothing hard there good sportsmanship on both sides exactly exactly 60 to 39 Spartans lead under five to play in the game Spartans looking for their fourth win nice pick
Yep can’t do that and you know what too I also wonder if that’s a little bit of frustration with what happened to blae not saying it was a it was a it was a almost like a uh can’t even think of the word like trying to come back after him
But just maybe a little bit of like being little retali exactly in a sense right that’s rossy’s third team’s third I guess maybe also to try and defend also his quarterback as well cuz remember their teammates they they have another year together wow Morrison number 23 the younger gets
The inbounds pass from Shen Kennedy going right to left on your dial Rivera with six points in this fourth quarter alone he’s got nine total Morrison guarded by Marino finds Elliot Elliot brought it down somehow was able to keep it alive for a second spins outside to
Shen now Tyler Morrison open for a longrange three missed the three goes to the hands of Sheen for a second attempt he missed it in the paint but Kennedy has a third attempt nice pass from Morrison over to Elliot on the right hand a little bit too hard it’s loose
It’s going to be picked up by ker on the other side of the Court that’s marino marino Retreats he finds Drew Williams wide open Drew Williams draws one outside of marino marino with 403 to go in the game off the glass it’s good he worked hard for that one yes he did he’s
Got four 6239 Spartans and then an air ball by Morrison you know you’re not getting you’re not getting back in the game making it taking a shot like that without the rest of your teammates down the floor Blaze Drew Williams three that’s number 30 for the wizard he’s a wizard and a
Magician kids got my vote for all league right now Rivera draws the foul yeah Kennedy playing a little bit I I understand that they want to score some points they want to try to get back into it although with 331 it’s tough but you really have to have some semblance of
Organization even when you have a deficit like this well like you know we were talking about Coach the shot by Morrison on the previous uh three free throws made by Rivera um and I saw it against willby too Kennedy’s now 9 of 16 from the line substitution coming in uh Brooks is in
El is out trying to get that 50 ball right there’s no 50 ball there’s only a two a two field goal and a three field goal you know you you’ve got you I get it inch your way back into a game you can’t do it you know taking threes with
Nobody there to help you out like you said fundamentals as well the free throws made you know and this is this is an experience on the kids part you could tell they’re young yep uh they’re working hard though I’m going to give them a lot of credit they haven’t given
Up that’s for sure bracie top of the key to Marino 6541 Kennedy is down against career career’s next game will be on Friday against Danberry loose ball off the shoe but they’ll keep it alive three by Drew Williams is no good offensive rebound by career and drawing the foul was bracie in the
Paint be the team’s second yeah Kennedy’s having trouble rebounding they’re giving him too many second and third [Applause] shots foul will be on Morrison now that’s his second rather that’s the team’s third Gracie at the line for two first free throw [Applause] good bracie now with seven points I can
Tell you right now they the career players are not very happy with churnovic they keep talking to him I I I wish I knew what the problem was maybe we’ll find out after the game one of two at the line is bracie Rossy fouled and the game’s over for him he’s done he’ll
Finish with two points I almost wonder was he talking to Rossy I have no I me I don’t know but I mean again that foul by Rossy seemed to be like a frustration foul you’re up 25 you got a little under three minutes to go you know this is
When you sit down and start putting in your younger kids which ronan’s about to do but again he’s forced to because of Rossy fouling out and the player will be Makai Weaver into the game for Rossy but as you said this game is basically over it’s career has it under control now you
Just you know relax get your young kids into play and almost in some way start thinking about the next game too right get back to practice tomorrow mhm start it all over again Tyler Morrison’s first free throw is no good as he’s the only one at the line for Kennedy as everybody
Else was talking with the interm coach for this game and hopefully this is the only game and Armen will come back uh coach Morrison yeah arm’s got the rest of the week to rec recuperate I’m sure he’ll be fine 10 of 18 10 of 19 both free throws missed by Tyler Morrison he
Stays with four points 66 to 41 Spartans lead bracie from the right corner lets it Fly it’s no good into the corner Brooks kept it alive nice mov by the sophomore nice behind the back back fast Morrison give go and it’s good by Rivera the assist Tyler Morrison that was one
Of the best fast breaks of the night great pass great look and that was the young Tyler Morrison making it there did a great job finding the open man Corner Weaver now Blaze Blaze with a move left elbow nice stroke from Blaze Blaze has five 6843 Rivera makes the basket Rivera’s
Had a nice quarter coach I’ve got him now for 3 6 9 11 Drew Williams 68 to 45 Spartans lead right corner that’s Weaver no missed whistle blown going the other way that will be on Career Team Smith I’ve got Rivera down for 12 15 total 2 minutes exactly remaining in the game
6845 Spartans lead one more one more game for each team before New Year’s Eve a New Year’s Day uh coach you have any uh New Year’s resolutions you want to have going into uh 2024 I’d like to lose about five pounds if I could that would
Be one of my goals for New Year’s resolution make make my cloth fit better coach you look good you look good you’re fine you’re fine get to the gym more but uh no not really you know Health yeah I think that’s the big thing for everybody
My age it’s it’s all about being healthy this is true free throws made one of two was Coleman missed the first made the second 11 of 21 from the line 6846 is the score 22-point lead for the Spartans 153 to go in the game Tyler Morrison guarding Ethan Blaze the
23s working through to Marino in the right elbow now Weaver in the corner Weaver finds it too many open looks first points for Weaver in the game 135 to go 71 46 floated to Morrison Morrison with a nice little move faked out Weaver and got the points Morrison with 22 himself
7148 Spartans lead Kennedy kids are working hard three by career hit the shot clock yeah Kennedy kids are hustling out there not hanging their heads and the closest they got coach as we said nine points minutes ago in the second quarter was 2920 and now Subs will be coming in as the day
Will be done for the starters at least for Drew Williams and bracie so bracie ends with seven Drew Williams with number 30 Rivera drawing the foul there you go back on the line again yep this you know coach you think about like we mentioned how kind of the growth right
Being able to carry stuff over the course of games in the season as the foul is going to be called on Weaver it’s his second I almost wonder can this be kind of a coming out game for Rivera and kind of get him that confidence as
He makes a free throw here that’s that’s a great Point that’s a great point because they’re going to need scoring from other other players on the team I agree and you know you know Morris Terence Morrison can shoot I’ve seen him even as he was a young kid when I’d come
Up to the games and he’d be messing around on the floor he can shoot but he can’t be the only scorer on the team you need to have a second he needs help I mean think about it Jordan didn’t win titles until he got Pippen right right
Right second free throws Miss so it stays 12 of 23 Rivera one of two from the line I mean you look at the the scoring for uh career mhm and how balanced it is you know only five there you go Rodriguez with a three 74 49 down to 48 seconds remaining
In the game coach you were saying I’m looking at one two they have 10 10 guys on the career team that scored and Kennedy got uh what five a six uh and you know and so you could see the balance scoring on Career that guys that can shoot yep one guy’s
Off and another guy’s going to have a good night Kennedy needs more scorers maybe they found one with Rivera we’ll find out he works hard look at him another one nice move by Rivera coming out in the fourth excellent down to 25 seconds remaining in the game
7451 Spartans Blaze with a couple pump fakes and Retreats shot clock is off and I don’t think Kennedy will shoot here think they’ll just hold on to the basketball take the air out just dribble around and they will so the final here from Kennedy High School in the Jack Tagle gymnasium 74- 51
Career Academy they defeat Kennedy career will improve to 4- one Kennedy drops to 2 and two send them back to the station we come back we’ll wrap things up here from Kennedy High School this the nvl boys basketball game of the week on 1320 w e
We’re back here to wrap things up here from Kennedy High School I’m Chris Saunders alongside coach taglia Jack taglia with me I mean pretty big deal when the gyms named after him but that’s a whole another story uh coach you think about this Kennedy team they showed a
Lot of fight they showed a lot of heart I mean I’ve gone I’ve said this many many times and I think you would agree when you’re rebuilding and going through a situation like Kennedy is you know the saying is you got to lose big to lose
Small win small to win big and Kennedy showed spurts of being able to claw back I mean they kept it close for a while and then eventually the magician Drew Williams was able to have a coming up party he scored 30 um you know got seven
Out of bracie it was very scattered with the scoring got 13 from Jeremiah Williams as well um just too much for the Kennedy Eagles be able to handle yeah you know career is a more athletic team right now uh they they’ve obviously they’ve got some very skilled players
Yes Drew Williams is is a stud I mean uh you know he could win the Billy Finn award yeah oh absolutely absolutely he’s on the watch list if you want to call it that early not only that he he’s an all state candidate right now oh th% th I I
Couldn’t agree with you more on that yeah I mean he’s he’s he’s an excellent player he’s a walking bucket you know when you need a basket you know who to go to and that’s the type of player he is and they’ve got some skilled players Kennedy’s Kennedy’s taking baby steps
Okay this is what their third or fourth Game of the Year correct uh you know they’re two and two okay you know they’re going to they’re going to struggle with the city teams I mean it’s it’s uh you know willby Crosby Holy Cross now career City teams are tough uh
You know they’re they’re they’ll make improvements as they go along they’ve got to be competitive with some of the Suburban teams even though they’re very good so I’m hoping Kennedy uh can get back on track again they do have some a lot of potential uh they’ve got a couple
Guys that can score they need a couple more that can do that coach I really appreciate you being able to take some time out of your day to come on thanks for asking me I had a blast coach it’s always a pleasure you have a Happy New
