Waterbury- Waterbury Career Academy moved one step closer to securing an NVL tournament berth—and a chance to defend its conference title for a fourth straight season—with a dominant 92–55 road win over Kennedy on Senior Night at Kennedy Gym.

Wearing their road blacks, the Spartans set the tone early, jumping out to a 23–11 first-quarter lead and never looking back.

Game Night in the Brass City: WCA Travels to Kennedy

Senior Alex Turner led the charge with a lights-out shooting performance from beyond the arc, knocking down eight three-pointers and finishing with a game-high 30 points. Turner’s shooting opened the floor and set the pace for a balanced WCA attack.

Every WCA starter finished in double figures:

• Alex Turner – 30 points
• A. Rodriguez – 10 points
• M. Robinson – 15 points
• M. Weaver – 12 points
• E. Blaise – 14 points

Now sitting at 6–10, the Spartans have four games remaining in what is shaping up to be a season turnaround worth remembering.

Kennedy, a young Eagles squad without a senior player to honor on Senior Night—aside from its cheerleaders—showed fight behind the backcourt of T. Morrison and A. Sumler, who worked tirelessly to keep the Eagles competitive. Ultimately, WCA’s size advantage and perimeter shooting proved too much to overcome.

What’s Next

WCA now turns its attention to a massive road matchup against the No. 2 Wilby Wildcats and their relentless pressure defense on Thursday night.

Magic number: 2.
