Close Games becoming Everyday thing for Kell Boys!

Kell boys basketball are getting some good experience in close game thus far this year. Five of the Nine games played this year have been decided by 8 points or less. With a relatively young and inexperienced roster (6 Seniors, 7 Juniors, 1 sophomore, 1 Freshman), these early close games are giving them the experience they need and will hopefully pay off as the season goes on. Kell has gone 1-4 in those close games but had opportunity to win each of them late in the 4th quarter.
Kell has had a balanced attack averaging 60 points per game and giving up 59 per game. While three players (Ben Caulk, Bryant Stewart, and Marlon Anthony) are averaging over ten points per game, 6 are averaging 6 points or more. Check out the stats posted online to see more.
After beating Sequoyah last Tuesday to bring their record to 3-2, the boys have dropped the last three games, including losing last night to arch rival Lassiter in a tight contest. They look to get back on track Friday when the Sprayberry Yellow Jackets go to Kell at 7:30pm.
While no one can predict the future, if the beginning of this season is any indication one thing is for certain, Kell Boys Basketball fans are in for a nail biting season full of excitement and competitive basketball!!!

Kell Downs the Chiefs at the War Lodge!!

The Longhorns (3-2) used a heavy dose of execution on offense in the first half and a free throw shooting clinic in the second accompanied by stifling zone defense to beat Sequoyah 66-56 Tuesday night. The win was much needed after blowing a lead on Friday night against Alpharetta and not performing well against Green Forest last Saturday. Marlon Anthony, who not only had 17 points and 10 rebounds, also had the most exciting play of the game when he dunked over two Sequoyah players in the first half. Terrence Slade and Bryant Stewart both had their best games of the year so far with 19 and 18 points respectively. The Lonhorns will hope to continue the success this Friday when they travel to Central Gwinnett.
