The Kenmore Cardinals took care of business earlier in the week when they defeated Canton South 57-52 in the first round of the Division II boys' basketball sectional semifinals.

Head Coach Brian Dawson joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about his squad and how they continue to fight and scrap their way to victory.

He said what worked against Canton South was the defensive press that  took them out of their offense and led to fast break points for the Cardinals.

"They rushed some shots, we were able to get some rebounds and turn them into points, plus we were aggressive offensively,"said Dawson.

Some of the players who have been key for Kenmore all season long include seniors Deon'ta Collins, Erik Palmer, and Deneris Hopkins, among others.

The Cardinals will take on Norton in the next round of the playoffs. The two teams played earlier in the year, with Kenmore taking a 59-50 victory.

"To be honest with you, this game is a 50-50 toss up, if we play, we can win, if we don't, Norton can surely beat us," Dawson said.
