Visits: 166
The Kew-Forest School Boys Junior Varsity Basketball Team made history on Thursday.
With their 86-44 victory over Evangel, the Jaguars locked up their second consecutive PSAA Boys Junior Varsity Championship.
This is the first time (girls or boys) that Kew-Forest has won consecutive PSAA Junior Varsity Basketball Championships in the history of Kew Forest School.
Three players scored in double figures for Kew-Forest (PSAA 16-0, Overall 19-2), led by Jonathan Daniels (34 points), Nino Radoncic (added 30 points – 13 assists for the Jaguars who never trailed) and Tyler Coley (added 10 points).
Alex Pena chipped in with 7 points and Lambert Shell with 5 points. The team has won 13 straight games this season and won 17 straight PSAA games during last season’s 2015-16 run for the title. The Jaguars ended with a perfect season in the PSAA 16-0.
“This is the most talented group of players we’re going to see for a long time and that we’ve seen for a long time at our school and for them to be so unselfish and willing to share with each other, that’s a coach’s dream,” said Head Coach John Della Marco
