Lady Norsemen Place 1st at JV Tournament

Congratulations to the Lady Norsemen JV Volleyball Team for placing 1st at the 2008 Putnam Sophomore Invitational on Saturday! Way to go!

Congratulations on a Successful Season!

Congratulations to the Newark soccer team on a very successful season. The Norsemen finished 11-10-1 under new coach Bill Suhayda.

The team accomplished a lot this season and made many memories along the way. Some of this season's highlights include Cody Borneman and Mike Larson's first high school goals. Kurt Anderson and Noel Cabadas both scored 11 goals for the Norsemen. Levy Soares scored his first American goal. Angel Torres-Larson also had many timely goals and assists. Tyler Andersen, our new goal keeper, had many outstanding saves. Other honorable mentions include Nick Slack for pumping up the team before each game, and Juan Elizade and Zeke Schmidt for their contributions to the team.

Finally, our most memorable moment of the season was winning the third place trophy at the conference tournament against Somonauk. This trophy was the first ever won for Newark soccer.

Congratulations Norsemen, and best of luck next season!

Norsemen Make School History
Date:10/11/08
Score: Won 2-1
Opponent: Somonauk

Coming off of a disappointing loss to Hinckley, the Norsemen soccer team looked to rebound with vengeance. That is just what they did this past Saturday with an upset win over Somonauk in the third place game. The Norsemen made school history by winning the first piece of hardware for Newark soccer. This was also the first victory over Somonauk in years. In the game, Noel Cabadas and Kurt Anderson both scored goals with some pretty nifty maneuvers. The defense in the game was also superb. "Everybody gave it their all, and we were rewarded with a win" said Aaron Mathre of the Norsemen soccer team. Read about the game in the Ottawa Times. (bottom of page)
