Cooke leads Flyers past Bama; Alstork nearly nets triple double vs Redhawks; Kennard shines in loss

Here's the recap of what happened with the local basketball colleges and the stars last week:

Leading scorer in the country (Mark Alstork) delivering for the Raiders

COOKE leads FLYERS to big win @ Alabama
  Charles Cooke saved his best for last as he put on a offensive display for the Flyers to lead them to win at Alabama. Alabama, led by former NBA Champion Avery Johnson at coach, fought and was up heading into final stretch.

However Cooke and the Flyers hit some huge buckets to seal the deal, and the Flyers move to 2-0 on the season.
  Cooke, who is a legitimate All-American contender,
entered the draft last season, but decided to come back.



Alstork leads RAIDERS to a last second win vs MIAMI
  Former Thurgood Marshall Cougar and current star for Wright State Mark Alstork dropped 29 points as they needed all of them to get past Miami 89-87.
  Miami clawed their way to a lead late in the game, 82-80, but Alstork and the Raiders hit some key buckets down the stretch and made just enough free throws to seal the deal.
 Alstork was 2 assists away from a triple double as he filled up the Stat sheet. (29 pts, 10 rebs, 8 assists)

  The game was thrilling, and the Redhawks looked that they would sneak a victory at the Nutter Center.
The Raiders stayed calm and although they missed a few FTs late, they were able to seal the deal.
 Raiders move to 2-0 on the season.

Kennard leads DUKE in loss against KANSAS

  Franklin grad and DUKE guard Luke Kennard scored 22 points in a 2-point loss to KANSAS (79-77).
Kennard looked sharp and confident in his ability, and quite honestly, was the best player on the court for the Blue Devils, who started the season #1.

 Kansas All-American candidate Frank Mason hit a last second shot to defeat Duke.

 Kennard looked sharp in the outing, and was the most consistent player in the game for the #1 ranked Blue Devils.

   With all the talk about if Kennard would be in the rotation after the major recruiting class, that talk needs to be put to bed; Kennard has been the most consistent player on the roster this season.

    From the looks of it, Kennard will be counted on heavily to help the Blue Devils try to reach a national title.
