SACRAMENTO - Kennedy High School's girls basketball team may have lost flashy guard Jazzi Johnson to graduation, but the Cougars haven't missed her much in the Delta Valley Conference. Kennedy used a 16-4 run in the second quarter on Friday to pull away from Davis for a 76-50 win.
The Blue Devils came into the game having won three in a row to begin league play, but they could not muster a comeback against a deep and talented Cougars team that figures to go unbeaten in the DVC.
DHS did make a nice run early, recovering from a 10-2 margin with eight of the next 10 points to close to 12-10. Kennedy, however, would lead 23-16 at the end of the quarter and then poured it on in the second period as the lead reached 20 points.
Cydhi Matsuoka scored a game-high 19 points, Melanie Khlok added 17 points and Deja Kinsey chipped in 14 points. Khlok might have had the biggest impact of the three with eight assists and four steals.
Malika Wilkins scored a team-high 12 points for DHS, Khaliya Wilkins added 11, all in the fourth. Nikol Allison had 10 points, all of those in the first half. Shelby Ferguson chipped in nine.
