Mentor plays a full court pressing system that is as fast of a tempo as any team in Ohio. Kennedy is a perfect fit for this style of play because of his relentless on ball pressure and incredible skill. Kennedy has an uncanny ability to get around his defender and either hit a floater over a shot blocker or kickout to a shooter for a 3-point shot. A true example of heart over height, Kennedy will finish near the top of Mentor’s scoring and assist marks for his career if he stays healthy over the course of his career.

The young Cardinals play one of the most exciting brands of basketball in the state with players flying everywhere on the court in their full court pressure defense. Kennedy fits their system perfectly thanks to his incredible offensive skill and full court pressure defensive ability. Kennedy was making numerous impressive passes in transition as he gets the ball from point A to point B in an instant and plays with teammates who want to score quickly. Also very tough to stay in front of in the half-court, Kennedy got past the initial defender with ease and made smart decisions in the advantage situations he created for his team. One of the top point guards in northeast Ohio’s 2028 class, Mentor will be a team that grows with this talented class that’s headlined by Kennedy.
