Another Big Win for the Norsemen

After Monday's big win over Streator, Norsemen fans were looking for yet another strong performance from their team, and they didn't leave disappointed. Newark trounced the Huskers in the first two quarters going up 24-2 in the first and followed that up with a 22-5 advantage in the second giving them a big 39 point lead heading into the locker room. The Norsemen eased it up in the second half moving into a 2-3 defense and running the clock with some solid ball movement on offense. The final score would end up at 69-23. The Norsemen offense was very balanced with four different players recording double digits for the second straight day. Newark was also able to post it's second straight day of shooting over 50 percent from the field. Possibly the biggest stat for the Norsemen had to come in the turnover department. Newark was able to force 16 turnovers as a team, the heavy majority of which coming in the first half, while giving up the ball just 4 times. The next game for the 2-0 Norsemen will be on day 3 of the Sandwich Thanksgiving Tournament against Sandwich. Tip-off will be at 6:30 on Wednesday.

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.
