Kennedy rallies in the second half at Crystal City, but loses, 44-43, in the Class 3 District 4 championship game.
With a 31-20 deficit staring them in the face at halftime in the Class 3 District 4 championship game, the John F. Kennedy girls basketball team was up against the ropes in the Celts’ most important day of the 2010-11 season. But that didn’t keep Kennedy (17-9) from battling back in the second half to take a 44-43 lead with a little over four minutes left in the fourth quarter. However, the Celts ran out of steam, falling to Crystal City, 59-47. “I thought we pretty much lost the game in the first half,” Kennedy head coach Jeff Stevens said. “All the energy that we spent in the second half was just to get us back into the game.” The win for Crystal City (22-4) moves the Hornets into the Class 3 sectional game against Scott City this …

Senior Paige Stewart hopes to repeat her all-conference season for the girls team while the boys team looks for someone to step up offense
The John F. Kennedy girls' basketball team is just two years removed from being 2009 Class 3, District 3 champions. If the Celts are going to return to that level of success, it will need to follow the lead of senior Paige Stewart. Stewart averaged 15.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.8 steals on her way to being named to last season's all-conference team in the Archdiocesan Athletic Conference. Head coach Jeff Stevens is especially looking forward to coaching Stewart and fellow senior, six-foot, one-inch center Megan Duisen, who averaged 5.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game last season.
