Hughes Perfect from Downtown in Home Opener

Finally, 5 games into the 2010-11 season, it was time for the Norsemen's home opener against the Red Ramblers of Mooseheart. The team was all but perfect on the offensive side of the ball as Newark's quick passing and great shooting proved to be to much for the Rambler defense and they took an early 28-10 lead in the first quarter. Defense may have gotten a little bit lazy in the second however as they allow 14 points but still maintain a 48-24 lead going into the half. The third quarter went by smoothly giving the Norsemen a 40 point lead going into the 4th. With that lead it was decided that the 4th would be played with a running clock only stopping for timeouts. The game would end with the score of 84-47 in favor of the Norsemen. Kyle Anderson led all scorers with 20 points but it was the Newark Bench that was the story with a combined 33 points for the subs. This included 3 from Junior Taylor Wright, 13 for Cameron Berg, and 17 total points for Senior Greg Hughes including a perfect 5-5 from three. Jeremy Anderson and Paul Hines led the team with 7 assists for the game, John Avery had 8 rebounds. The next test for the 6-0 Norsemen will be a home game on Friday the 3rd against the LaMoille/Ohio Lions at home. This will be the first conference game for Newark.
