As Kennedy High School(Richmond, CA) trailed St. Mary's(Berkeley, CA) 58-56, Alfonso Murrie had one thing on his mind and that was score the basketball. However, he didn't realize how open he would be, to knock down the game winning three to seal off an upset. It was already surprising that Kennedy, had made what many people thought to be a run away game for St. Mary's, a nail bitter. With excellent play by Kyree Jackson and Alfonso Murrie down the stretch, Kennedy was able to keep the game within striking distance on the road.
During Kennedy's final possesion, Kyree threw a bounce pass in the corner to a wide open Murrie, who would knock down the open game winning three to make the score 59-58. Kennedy will have to celebrate quickly, as they have to prepare for what will be another tough road game on Wednesday in Vallejo, at St. Pats. After the way Kennedy played on the road on saturday, it will be hard to count them out in this game too.
