Kent Girls’ Basketball Takes 1st New England Title!

Three time Founders League
Champions Kent Girls Basketball took their game to Dedham, MA for the
Class A New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Championship.
Kent dominated the first half of the game with an early double digit
lead over number three seed Nobles and Greenough. Kent was led by
senior Nickie Smye, who had 14 points and senior Abby Kelly who had 10
points in the game. Junior Jayde Bennett was a force on both ends of
the court, doing whatever could be done to get the ball into Kent
hands. Sasha Dosenko, the tournament’s MVP, also finished with 10
points, 6 blocked shots and 5 steals. It was a great culmination of
four years of teamwork for Kelly and Dosenko. Sasha will be playing
next year for Dartmouth College.

This was the first NEPSAC championship won by a Kent School Girls
Varsity Basketball team. “This was truly a great experience for the
girls, lots of smiles and tears” said Coach Wayne Walton, He went on to
say, “The girls worked hard throughout the whole season and winning the
championship made for an exceptional year.”

Kent completed the 2007-2008 season with a stellar 20 wins and only one loss.

In the class A semi-final, Kent overcame the first-seeded Tabor — the
most exciting game yet. The two teams played to a 30-30 tie at the
first half which saw the lead change teams numerous times. The second
half commenced at a furious pace with Kent up when Sasha Dosenko picked
up her fifth foul and left the court about halfway through. The girls
rallied nevertheless, extending their lead to as much as thirteen. But
Tabor battled back and with less than a minute to play went up by one
on a three-pointer. Things looked grim as Kent failed to score on their
following possession. With fewer than thirty seconds remaining, Jayde
Bennett forced a turnover, Kent moved the ball up the court to Abby
Kelly who pulled up and sank a resounding three-pointer and then broke
up the Sea Wolfs’ inbounds play to seal the victory. It was an
astounding effort from all the members of the team who really rose to
the occasion.

Earlier in the week, Kent hosted the first round of the Class
A New England Girls Basketball Tournament at the Magowan Field House.
This is Kent’s 3rd consecutive trip to the tournament and 3rd straight
Founders League title. The team, under the direction of head coach
Wayne Walton has lost but one regular season game in the past two years
and made it to the semi-finals of last year’s New England tournament.
Earlier in the week, Kent won their action-packed first round game
against Loomis Chaffee to continue on to the semi-finals at Pomfret.
