Bradshaw's hoop ices Eagles' win: Peekskill-Cortlandt Daily Sports Digest, Jan. 11

Welcome to Patch's daily snapshot of sports in Peekskill and Cortlandt.

Peekskill falls to Kennedy

It had plenty of hype but unfortunately, like Alabama-LSU, it couldn't live up to it.

entered its boys basketball game against visiting Kennedy Catholic Jan. 10 looking to get a heads up in league play but it was Kennedy that wound up doing all the damage, rolling to a 77-59 triumph.

Leading Peekskill was Kyree Hull, who scored a team-high 14 points.

The most impressive thing about Peekskill against the Gaels was its die-hard fan base, which was boisterous throughout despite the Kennedy domination and stayed until the end of the game even though it was clear from the tip-off that they were going to go home disappointed.
