School wrestling team hosted Mill Valley in a dual on Friday, Jan. 9 in Stull Gymnasium and won by a score of 47-18.

Norton won eight matches wrestled and Mill Valley won four matches wrestled and each won one by forfeit.

“This is the first year we have had a dual the night before the J.R. Durham Invitational Tournament and I think it was good for us,” said Norton head coach Bill Johnson.

“It was a way for us to get out some sluggishness before the tournament. We competed well technique-wise but many of our

wrestlers looked out of shape. We’ve had some sickness and some of our wrestlers were over-weight. Our endurance was not the best.

“We worked on some new tech-niques and I was proud that our young men did that. We had sev-eral wrestlers out of the lineup but we have good backups as well.”

School C-team girls basketball team placed third in the C-team Tournament on Saturday in Phil-lipsburg.

The young Lady Jays lost 55-42 to Smith Center then defeated Plainville 38-22 in the consolation championship game.

“We started out very flat de-fensively and offensively against Smith Center,” said coach Bolt.

“We settled down in the second half and played more controlled and aggressively. In the fourth quarter, we did a lot of good things and pulled within striking range a couple of times. I was pleased with our effort in the last quarter. It was

a great confidence builder for the next game.”

PlainvilleThe young Lady Jays held quar-

ter leads of 19-4, 25-11 and 33-17 in the 38-22 win over Plainville.

Terrell led Norton in scoring with 9 points, followed by Sprigg, Tiffany Eagleburger, 8 each; Rossi, 7; Keilig, Thomson, Peter-son, 2. A. Reif led Plainville with 7 points.

“Plainville did adjust but our ladies kept control of the game and finished with a strong victory.”

Comments by coach Amy McK-inney: “The girls played very well for such a long break over Christmas.

“The B-team had trouble han-dling Logan’s pressure but as the girls play more breaking pressure will become natural.

“It was a good learning experi-ence for them. The A-team game was very exciting and provided us

with an opportunity to play some intense basketball.

“The girls stepped up to the challenge and just fell short but they played their hearts out and that is all we can ask for.”
