Right behind Martin in the scoring column for the 4A champs was Kennard, a 6-foot-1 combo guard with floor-spacing ability, churned in 13 points on Saturday night. While he converted on just one shot from deep, Kennard built a reputation as a deadeye shooter particularly from the corners and demands gravity from the defense at all times. He’s quick and twitchy off the catch and has no issue slithering his way into the paint and drawing contact, as he did by going 4-of-5 from the charity stripe. He was massive in Blake’s final four win over Meade and once again, made his presence known here in the title game closing down the glass from the guard position and hauling in six rebounds himself.
