A new, local Georgetown guard takes the game MVP
Another successful Kenner League is in the books and the championship came down to two teams led by new transfers to your Georgetown Hoyas. In case you haven’t been following closely enough this summer, the league games and the playoffs have been super competitive and Wayne Bristol, Jr., Ismael Massoud, Rowan Brumbaugh, Supreme Cook, and Jay Heath were getting multiple player-of the-game awards. In the championship, Massoud’s Jim Couch team lost to Brumbaugh’s A. Wash & Associates, with Rowan earning the game’s MVP award. There has been an abundance of video highlights this summer.
