Kennedy impacted the game everywhere. In Lakeland’s 62–54 upset over Wekiva (6-over-3), she piled up 6 steals and a block, poured in 24 points on 53% shooting, and even led the team with 3 assists. That’s two-way control. Her quickness and relentless motor constantly sped Wekiva up, while her anticipation in passing lanes turned defense into easy offense. She wasn’t just creating chaos, but she was capitalizing on it efficiently.

Now comes a rematch against Bayside, a team that handed the Dreadnaughts a 53–43 loss in January after a sluggish start. If Lakeland is going to flip that result, Kennedy’s tone-setting pressure has to show up from the opening tip. Her ability to dictate tempo — instead of playing from behind — could be the swing factor in this rematch on the road in Palm Bay.
