Norsemen Cruise to a Win at Home

Date: January 19, 2010
Opponent: Serena High School
Result: Newark 69 Serena 48

The Norsemen took on conference foe Serena at home Tuesday night. Newark played decent basketball in the first half with the score at halftime being 31-21. And in the second half, the Norsemen stretched the lead and were in complete control for the rest of the game. The focus of this game for the Norsemen was to get the ball inside and score in the paint, which they did very well. They finished the game with 46 of their 69 points scored in the paint. Brett Anderson was a big part of that scoring as he had 24 points to lead the Norsemen. Kyle Anderson had 17 points as well. Newark is now 5-0 in the conference and in sole possession of first place. The next game will be Friday, January 29 at Leland-Earlville.
