The Kentridge High boys basketball team walked all over Sumner in Monday’s King Showcase at the ShoWare Center with a 67-39 victory.
“The kids played hard,” said Kentridge coach David Jamison about the nonleague game. “We just played good defense, were kind of steady each quarter and didn’t give them many easy baskets.”
The Chargers pressed the Spartans 19-7 in the first quarter and never let up, leading every quarter after.
Jamison credits both forward Jordan Ticeson and point guard Deon Thomas as key players for the game.
Ticeson for his shooting talent and Thomas as a key asset in grabbing assists and moving pressure away from the Chargers’ baskets.
“The kids just did their job,” Jamison said.
Ticeson picked up 15 points with two assists and Thomas scored 10 points with four assists. Micah Simmons had nine points.
Kentwood and Kentlake also saw successful games at the showcase, with Kentwood beating Enumclaw 67-51 and Kentlake taking down Lakes 64-42.
