Who is Andrew Kennedy?
Andrew Fitzgarfield Kennedy is a retired American-Jamaican basketball player, most notable for his years playing in the Israeli league, with Hapoel Galil Elyon successful team of the early 1990s.
Kennedy attended Calabar High School in Kingston, Jamaica in 1978-83 and participated in a number of sports including Table Tennis, Athletics and Basketball. He was an above average student and regularly won awards for excellence and school citizenship. He was drawn distinctly to basketball where he played on the B and later A team.

He arrived to the Upper Galilee, Israel in 1989 and played for the local team of Hapoel Galil Elyon for seven seasons in three different teams, in his first four seasons winning a national cup in 1992 and an historic championship a year later in 1993.
