The Kendall Eagles boys basketball team went on an 111-4 burst in the third quarter to pull within two points of the lead, but dropped the championship game of the Holley Tournament 60-51 to Albion.

Trailing by three points after three-quarters of play, the Eagles fouled Albion repeatedly in the final minutes of the game. Albion was 10-14 from the free throw line down the stretch to seal the victory.

Kendall's Brett Jacobson scored ten of his team-high 14 points in the third quarter and was named to the All-Tournament team. Kevin Hamilton had 9 points with six rebounds and Bobby Cole also had nine points -- both were also named to the All-Tournament team. Kyle May led the Eagles with 8 rebounds.
