AT HALF: PICKERINGTON NORTH 24, NEWARK 21

First Half Notes

  • Great start for Jack Sawyer. Tough for Newark to defend so far
  • Hunter Shedenhelm with an excellent two-way first half. Face guarded Drew Ballinger for the entire half and did not allow him to get a clean look. Ballinger did not attempt a three-point field goal in the first half.
  • Chris Scott has been dangerous in transition. Grabbing rebounds and making plays in the open floor. 
  • Newark is going to need big production from Keshawn Heard in the second half to have a chance.
