Getting off to a slow start was a bad omen for host Carmel Catholic when the Corsairs faced Benet Academy Friday night in East Suburban Catholic Conference boys basketball action. The visiting Redwings stormed ahead to a 13-0 lead right out of the gates as Benet’s Brady Kunka scored the first 7 points of the contest. Carmel did make a third-quarter surge to pull to within 7 points,.But that would be as close as the Corsairs would get as Benet (6-1, 2-0) pulled away the rest of the way for a convincing 52-34 victory.
