The Resurrection Phoenix took the Consolation Title at the Gulfshore Shootout in Naples, FL, late last week. 6'7" F/C Cory Kenning was named to the all-tournament team. Here's the report from Naples News reporter Tom Rife (retrieved from: http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2011/dec/30/gulfshore-shootout-resurrection-catholic-beats-com/)

NAPLES — Making the long trip from the not-so-balmy Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, the Resurrection Catholic Phoenix benefited from the Winged Foot Scholarship Foundation Gulfshore Shootout in more ways than one.
The Phoenix captured the consolation bracket title Friday with a 64-49 win over Community School. They also patched up some discipline problems from earlier in the week.
“We came together very well as a team and played pretty well,” coach Tom Schneider said. “We came out of the tournament a better team than we came into the tournament. That’s what we were looking for.”
The Phoenix used not only their height advantage against the Seahawks, but also showed some shooting pizazz by draining nine three-pointers in their victory.
Tyler Schneider and Corey Kenning each had 12 points in the win and Jamie Kell added 11. The Phoenix had a commanding 39-16 lead at halftime, but to Community School’s credit, the Seahawks kept the hustle turned up on high and “won” the second half, 33-25.
“With the height disadvantage and all, we found a whole different style we can play,” CSN’s Greg Donahue said. “We went man-to-man all over the place and it created some problems for them. It’s something we hadn’t done before. Now we know we can do it and we have another weapon in our arsenal.”
Connor Murray paced the Seahawks with 14 points. If there was a downside at all to the loss, it was that CSN made just 15 of 30 attempts from the three-throw line.
On a scale from 1 to 10, Donahue rated his team’s overall Shootout experience a “7.”
“What I liked was that after the Jupiter game, we started really playing defense and rebounding,” he said.
Donahue said he looked forward to getting back to regular-season action against such district foes as Seacrest Country Day and Evangelical Christian.
“I’d play Resurrection Catholic every day,” he said. “It would make us a better team.”
