That’s not an indictment of the other seven participants; it’s praise for Kennedy.

No. 2 Wings Academy has righted the ship recently, playing better on the defensive end. No. 3 Truman got better as the year went on and No. 4 Lehman has a dynamic inside-out duo in center Armand (Big Baby) Thomas and guard Aaron Barnes.

Howard Gomez and South Bronx enter playoffs on high note after rolling past Evander, 44-12 in regular season finale.

South Bronx running back Raymond Norman has always kept his father close to his heart.
