Top-recruit Kevin Knox doesn’t disappoint in first game at John Wall Invitational

With a little more than four seconds on the game clock, Kevin Knox pushed the ball up court as defenders swiped at it. He pulled up from the 3-point line and let the ball fly.

As the buzzer sounded, Knox’s shot banked off the backboard and went in. The crowd went wild as the Knox-led Tampa Catholic beat Cary High School 71-69.

Knox, a 6-9, 205-pound five-star recruit, and ranked in the top 10 on all scouting websites, did not disappoint Tuesday night. He’s being recruited by both Duke and North Carolina.

“I don’t know if Kevin called glass on that last shot or not but I guess the banks were open here in North Carolina on Tuesday night or so,” Tampa Catholic coach Don Dziagwa said.
