Fairfax 55, Kennedy 39--Roderick Sullivan scored nine of his game-high 16 points in a 2 1/2-minute spurt to start the fourth period, leading a 30-point outburst that enabled visiting Fairfax to win a contest that turned into a free-throw marathon.

Fairfax (7-0) was 17 of 21 from the free-throw line in the final quarter of a game that was slowed to a 2 1/2-hour crawl by 52 team fouls.

The teams combined to shoot 61 free throws. Kennedy (3-3), which attempted only 19 field goals, was 19 of 35 from the line and Fairfax was 19 of 26.

Fairfax hit all six of its fourth-quarter field-goal attempts and rallied behind Sullivan, a 6-foot-1 junior guard who took over with the Lions nursing a 25-20 lead entering the fourth quarter. Sullivan hit a three-point basket and converted a three-point play in a 10-second span that extended Fairfax’s lead to 31-20 with 7:30 left, then added yet another three-point play with 5:25 left that gave the Lions a 40-26 lead.

Garret Anderson scored 13 points and Josh Etting added 11 for Kennedy, which scored only nine points in the first half.
