POSITION: GUARD 

CLASS: 2025 

BREAKDOWN: BACK TO BACK MVP’S SAY IT ALL FOR KENNEVEN AS THE CAMDEN CATHOLIC PRODUCT PUT ON A SHOW ONCE AGAIN. HE TRIMMED THE DEFENSE FROM ALL THREE LEVELS IN TERMS OF SCORING AND I LOVED WATCHING HIM WORK OFF THE DRIBBLE. HE EASILY GOT RID OF DEFENDERS AND SHOWED SOME EXCELLENT COURT VISION. HE FINIDHED WITH 20 POINTS AND I’M PRAYING CAMDEN CATHOLIC HAS AN OPEN OFFENSE BECAUSE PULLING UP ON LUKE THIS SEASON.

HIS NATURAL FEEL FOR THE GAME WAS OLD SCHOOLED WHILE ALSO PACKAGING AN ARRAY OF MOVES. HE CREATED SPACE FOR STEP BACKS AND PULL UPS WHILE ALSO CARRYING DEFENDERS TO THE CUP ON DRIVES. DEFENDERS WERE AT HIS MERCY WHEN HE WAS ATTACKING DOWNHILL. HIS 6’4 SIZE ALLOWED HIM TO SHOOT AND PASS OVER DEFENDERS WITH EASE. HE EASILY GAVE THE BEST PERFORMANCE REGARDLESS OF CLASS IN THIS EVENT.
