BASKETBALL

The Journey Of The Spark Plug , Sharp Shooter Luke Kennard

A year ago freshman Luke Kennard came off the bench for Duke as Mike Krzyzwski only had a six man rotation because Amile Jefferson was Injured. Where was Luke going to fit in ? Luke Kennard had no trouble finding a home on the court. He was what  I like to call the spark plug because when his team was down who would come in and give his team energy and  make a play  so his team would have a chance to win? Luke Kennard.

Remember the shot that Kennard made at the Dean Dome last year that gave Duke the lead in Chapel Hill over North Carolina ?  Then eventually Duke ended up winning by one by a score of 74-73. Kennard had fifteen points  against tobacco road rival North Carolina "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=210295003&DB_OEM_ID=4200

Will Luke Kennard have the same role on this years team that is loaded with talent and also the preseason #1 ranked team in the country ? Will he become Duke's number one choice when the team needs a basket at a critical time in a game? Those questions are yet to be answered but will be answered soon enough.
