St. John Fisher University Athletics

Optimystik Kinard  (Christ The King/South Ozone Park) of the men’s basketball team has been selected as the College’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending November 30.

The senior forward helped guide Fisher to a 1-1 week, including an 83-72 victory over SUNY Oneonta in the Cardinals’ season-opener.  Kinard finished an efficient 4-of-5 from the floor for 11 points, while grabbing five rebounds, and compiling a game-high three blocks against the Red Dragons.

He followed up the season-opener with a team-high 20 points, to go along with six rebounds and one block in a 68-67 losing effort to Medaille College on Saturday.
Fisher sits at 1-1 overall on the year. 

The Cardinals return to action at 8 p.m. on Wednesday when they will host Rochester Institute of Technology in the 49th Annual Wendy’s College Classic.
