Norwich 60, Sus Valley 44
NORWICH – Norwich overcame Sus Valley’s quick start clamping down on defense to take command of the game by halftime en route to an eighth straight victory.
Patrick Coates and Tim Clark shared scoring honors for Norwich (9-2), who host Seton Catholic Central Tuesday.
“Defensively, we played really good in the first half,” said Norwich coach Mark Abbott, whose club has allowed 46 points or less in eight of 11 games. “They had a little spurt at the beginning, but we didn’t panic and kept doing things we wanted to do.”
Within the game’s first 39 seconds, SV converted three-point plays from Chad Starzer and Nick Pace to lead by six. It was all Norwich the rest of the half.
Clark and Nate Foote hit three-pointers, and Foote had seven of his 11 points in the opening quarter to make it a 20-13 game at the first turn.
Norwich surrendered a single field goal and just two free throws in the second quarter, while Foote added two more baskets pushing the advantage to 30-16 at the break.
The Sabers drew as close as 11 points in the third quarter, however, Patrick Coates hit a jumper, Clark downed a traditional three-point play, and Josh Borfitz canned a three ball from the corner to highlight 10-1 spurt in the middle of the quarter to expand the margin back to 20.
“Sus Valley played with more urgency in the second half, and I thought we responded well to that,” Abbott said. “We showed a lot of poise and did a nice job taking the ball to the basket. We’ve won eight in a row, so we have to be doing some things right.”
Norwich’s junior varsity team retained its unbeaten record (11-0) and will face Seton’s fellow unbeaten squad in the prelim to Tuesday’s varsity contest

We got open looks and knocked them down.”
Darin Garcia, plagued with foul trouble in the first half, scored 15 of his career-high 17 points in the second half. He added 10 rebounds and Perry grabbed 12 boards.

Josh Fischer hit a runner on the baseline just before the overtime buzzer to seal the win, Greene’s first in league play this season. “We had a lot of turnovers and mistakes, things we can do a better job at,” said Greene coach Jeff Paske. “But we kept fighting back, and luck was on our side tonight. To keep coming back and get the win at the end was a great start to 2008.”
Dustin Turner had six points in overtime and finished with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks. Engler led with 11 points, and Scott Gorton had 10 points and four steals.

GREENE – Greene hit big shots at the end of the fourth quarter and both overtime periods, the last one clinching a two-point victory over Sidney in a defensive war Friday.
Despite scoring nine points the entire second half, the Trojans forced the first overtime on Chris Engler’s late-game jumper. Sidney was foiled in the first extra session when Ben Adams converted a layup to send the game on to another period.
Josh Fischer hit a runner on the baseline just before the overtime buzzer to seal the win, Greene’s first in league play this season. “We had a lot of turnovers and mistakes, things we can do a better job at,” said Greene coach Jeff Paske. “But we kept fighting back, and luck was on our side tonight. To keep coming back and get the win at the end was a great start to 2008.”
Dustin Turner had six points in overtime and finished with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks. Engler led with 11 points, and Scott Gorton had 10 points and four steals.
