Warriors upend Cougars to end drought
Cedar Rapids Washington High School's long nightmare in boys basketball has ended.
The Warriors snapped a 26-game losing streak Friday night by topping Kennedy, 53-50, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game at Cedar Rapids Kennedy.
Washington had not won a game since February of 2011. The Warriors lost their final game of the 2010-11 campaign, lost all 21 games last season and lost their first four games this season under new coach Adam Sanchez.
Washington got off to a good start Friday, built a 23-10 halftime lead and held on at the end. There were hugs and high-fives outside the Washington locker room as they celebrated the victory.
"It's a great day to be a Warrior!," exclaimed senior David Rosenthal, who contributed eight points.
