The next time Markus Kennedy '10 suits up in his school's uniform for a basketball game it will be for the Villanova Wildcats. The Philadelphia native is spending the final year of his high school career at prep power house The Winchendon School in Winchendon, Massachusetts. His senior season, and high school career for that matter, came to a close earlier this week.

"It went real good. We ended up 30-10. It was good," said Kennedy of his team's season. Winchendon played for two championships, first the NEPSAC A title and then the Prep National Championship, but neither ended the way Kennedy and his teammates would have liked. "We lost by 3 in the NEPSAC Championship [and then in the] . . . "National Prep we lost by 1 to St. Thomas More."

Asked to assess his season individually, Kennedy responded, "I did pretty well; I just focused on getting in shape and rebounding a lot. That was my main focus, I wasn't too focused on scoring, it was rebounding."
