On A Roll: Boys’ Cagers Push The Pace And Their Winning Streak To Five Games (By Andy Hutchison of the Newtown Bee)
Wins have been piling up for the Newtown High School boys’ basketball team. The Nighthawks won two games in as many nights, defeating host Bassick of Bridgeport 69-64 on January 12 in a game rescheduled because of weather, then went to Brookfield and won 66-50 the next night. The Hawks outdid themselves with a 72-31 domination of visiting Bethel on January 18 to improve to 6-2 overall.
