Norsemen Advance to Regional Semifinals

Opponent: Leland-Earlville
Date: 2/23/09
Score: 62-44 win

The Norsemen began their Regionals against the Leland-Earlville Panthers. In the previous week Newark beat the Panthers easily, 66 to 45. Despite being the favorite to win, Newark didn't take them lightly. Right from the tip-off the Norsemen took control by draining multiple three pointers. At the end of the first quarter the score was 20 to 7. Newark continued to ride the momentum and took a 46 to 12 lead into halftime. In the second half the bench players were able to get some good minutes and the Norsemen won 62 to 44. Levi Sores had one rebound and two points. Kurt Anderson had 24 points.

On Wednesday, the Norsemen will face Serena at Hinckley at 6:00PM in the Regional Semifinals.
