This past Saturday, Dec. 7, when Centereach came calling on Newfield, their crosstown rival in a non-league boys basketball matchup, the Wolverines controlled the tempo of the game from the opening tipoff, as the Cougars found themselves down 19 points at the half. Newfield’s dominant defensive performance the rest of the way inked a 71-37 victory over their visitors.
Newfield senior Ryan Hicks topped the scoring charts for the Wolverines with 17 points, with teammate Aiden Ifill adding 16.
Centereach senior forward Michael Edmond led the way for the Cougars, hitting four three-pointers, a field goal and three from the charity stripe for 17 points.
The win lifts the Wolverines to 2-0, while the loss drops Centereach to 0-2 in this early season.
