Photo gallery: varsity boys’ basketball vs. Ritenour
The varsity boys’ basketball team played Ritenour High on Friday, February 16. The boys’ team picked up their first win in seven games, thanks to a lay-up by Damien Loyd with 1.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter, that gave Kirkwood 78 points, over Ritenour’s 76 points.
“It feels good, I’m still not back to where I was but it feels good to get the game winning shot, and get my confidence back up,” Damien Loyd, junior, said. “I saw that they banked a three and had ten seconds to score so I saw the lane open so I just laid it up, I got fouled too.” According to Loyd, the team feels good as they head into the district championships, which will begin on February 27, against CBC, at the David Holley Gym.

"A friend of mine's son was sick, and we knew he wasn't going to make it. I made a handful of these little smiles, [and gave it to the family.] I said maybe you can hold on to [them] until you get your smile back. [The family] said 'it would be very selfish if I didn't tell you to do this for other people.'"
