Norsemen Escape Poor Shooting Night With A Big Conference Win

December 14, this date would be circled on both Newark and Indian Creek calenders as this game between the teams would most likely determine who would be the regular season Little Ten Conference Champion. The Norsemen looked to come out onto the floor a bit sluggish as they missed alot of open shots early as well as gave up some big points on the defensive end. They would go up by 7 at half time but the third quarter looked as though it may be trouble. The Timberwolves would cut the Norsemen lead to just 1 with seconds to go in the third. A big turnaround however came when a Kyle Anderson 3 was followed by a quick steal and an and-1 shot by John Avery at the buzzer. Newark was able to regain their 7 point lead that they would increase to 17 at the end of the game. Kyle Anderson led all scorers with 27 points, 14 of which coming from the free-throw line. Also John Avery had 20, and Jeremy Anderson finished the night with 14.
