OSKALOOSA â Newtonâs offense got better as the game went along against Oskaloosa on Friday night.
The defense continues to be the teamâs strong suit as the Cardinal boysâ basketball team locked down the Indians during a 58-36 road win on Friday night.
âWe played well defensively,â Newton coach Jason Carter said. âWe got lots of tips and were pretty active.â
It took a while to get going offensively as the Cardinals led 8-6 after one quarter. But Newton (3-0 overall, 2-0 in the conference) scored at least 16 points in the other three periods to cruise to a third straight win.
