Braden Foss goes in for a lay-up against the visiting Oaks last Friday night, making 2 of his 6 contributing points for a win.
Ken Kendall has a career night for Senior night.
Montello played host to Oakfield last Friday night for Senior night. It was Senior Ken Kendall who stepped up in a big way to lead the Hilltoppers past the Oaks. Ken finished the game with a career high 26 points on 8 of 12 shooting, including 3 of 3 from the three point line. Ken also added 5 rebounds and solid defense all night. "This was a game that I knew Ken had in him. He's had the potential to have games like this all year, it was nice to see his shots fall and end his home career on a high note like this. Ken carried us in the first half." Although he played with the flu, Jake Polk ended the night with a good stat line, finishing with 14 points, 9 rebounds, 5 steals and 4 blocks. The coach added, “Tyler Emond played great defense all night and did what he does best. He is as reliable on the defensive end as anyone that we have. "It has been a pleasure to coach these senior boys, and to have them step up and get a victory for their last home game says a lot about these guys." As for the exciting finish to the evening, Coach Polk recalled, “We were down by 6 going into the fourth quarter and the boys came out determined to battle back. The play of the game came when Colton Weller grabbed an offensive rebound and put it back, to put us up by 2 with only a couple minutes to go in the game. Ken fouled out with 2 minutes to go in the game and Jake snapped out of it and held off the flu long enough to pick up where Ken left off. Jake had 9 of his points on the fourth when we needed them, including being 6 for 6 from the line. Seth Postler and Eddie Gajdosik each had 3 assists to lead Montello and Braden Foss added 6 points and 5 rebounds. We played the game we needed to finish our home season with a win. It was great for the players, parents and Montello fans.”
