MBB: Kennedy-King Captures First Win of the Season

On November 22, 2025, the Harry S. Truman College Falcons fell to visiting Kennedy-King College 84-62 at Truman College in Chicago, struggling to maintain momentum after a competitive first half.

The Falcons showed resilience early, scoring 33 points in the first half to trail by just 38-33 at the break, but their offense cooled in the second half with only 29 points as Kennedy-King surged ahead. Truman's overall shooting and individual contributions were overshadowed by the visitors' balanced attack and defensive pressure, leading to the home defeat despite playing in front of their local crowd.

Kennedy-King built the road win on efficient shooting—48.4% from the field (30-62), 36.8% from three (7-19), and 56.7% from the line (17-30)—while dominating the boards 39-0 (listed, though game flow suggests otherwise) and dishing 22 assists with only 9 turnovers, 4 blocks, and 12 steals. Guard Reggie Ray led all scorers with 22 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 from three, 4-6 FT) and 4 rebounds, while forward Philip Berryhill added 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 from three) and 4 rebounds off the bench. Guard Javon Warfield contributed 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 from three, 3-5 FT), 3 assists, 3 steals, and a block, and guard Devontae Jean chipped in 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 from three) with 3 rebounds and 2 steals. Forward Rashawn Emer-Lake provided a spark with 4 points, 11 rebounds (3 offensive), and 3 assists, helping the team pull away decisively in the second half where they scored 46 points.
