Kendall set a season’s best mark with 83 points as they trounced Lyndonville on Senior Night for the boys basketball team.
Senior Michael Nauden celebrated his final home game as one of four players scoring in double figures with a team high 16 points.
The Eagles led 15-8 after the first quarter with Dan Kelly accounting for nine of those points, but broke the game wide open in the second quarter with 23 points to lead by 17 at the half.
They bettered that in the third with 24 points of offense to push their lead to 27 and added 21 more points in the fourth with the nonstarters getting considerable playing time including Garrett Love scoring seven of his game total of 12 points. It was Love’s second varsity game of the season since being called up.
Eagles senior Preston Vick had a team-high ten rebounds, Kelly finished with 15 points, Love had nine rebounds and four blocks, Mookie Nauden had 12 points with nine assists and brother Mike added five rebounds to his point total.
The win was just the third of the season for Kendall against 13 losses, but with the offense clicking could be a dangerous draw in the Section V tournament in two weeks. The team last won a title in 2000 and have six others in school history including five consecutive from 1972-73 through 1976-77.
Seniors who played in their final home game were Justin Lane, Mike Nauden, Ralph Reis and Vick.
