BOSTON — Earlier this season Cedric Kuakamensah became the latest St. Andrew’s School boys’ Varsity I basketball player to pen a letter of intent to attend a Division I program, in his case Brown. Friday, Dec. 30, Kuakamensah joined another noted Saints’ list, scoring the 1,000th point of his career.
The senior center netted 15 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in leading St. Andrew’s past the Christian Heritage School, 60-53, for the championship of the Buckingham, Browne & Nichols School Holiday Tournament.
Kuakamensah’s noteworthy hoop came early in the second half of the contest, which had a significantly different feel than the first time St. Andrew’s met Christian Heritage. The locals defeated their counterparts from Trumball, Conn., by 27 points in an earlier encounter this season.
Bonzie Colson added 15 points and Seekonk’s Tom Garrick 14 to the Saints’ cause Friday. The victory was the ninth in a row for St. Andrew’s since dropping its first two games of the year.
“We’re on a roll right now,” said Saints’ head coach Mike Hart. “The kids are buying into the program and the system we’re trying to teach. They’re playing hard. If you want to succeed in our league, you need to have those things.”
St. Andrew’s takes the first few days of 2012 off, returning to action Friday, Jan. 6, on the road against St. Mark’s in Southborough, Mass. The Saints then host Vanier Collegiate School, of Montreal, Saturday afternoon, Jan. 7, at 1.
