Norsemen Start Season Out Hot

Newark 69, Streator 51. It was a stormy afternoon outside of Sandwich High School as the Newark Norsemen prepared for the first game of their highly anticipated season. And the Norsemen didn't disappoint coming out of the gates quick as lightning scoring the first 8 points of the game. And they didn't slow down from there going up on the Bulldogs 26-8 in the 1st quarter behind some big 3's including 3 from Kyle Anderson. Newark continued to play tough throughout the entire game despite some very physical play from Streator. Kyle Anderson led the team with 18 points even after running into some foul trouble late in the 3rd quarter. The Norsemen D' did a good job of holding all but one player to single digits in scoring. Newark hopes to keep it's shooting percentage up tomorrow as they battle the Huskers of Serena in Game 2 of the Sandwich Thanksgiving Invitational.
