NEW CASTLE, INDIANA – Walking into the World’s Largest High School Basketball Gym, gives you chills all by itself. The 62 year old building has seen it fair share sellout basketball games, that range from regular season games, to sectional final games. With this year’s Sectional Finals being at the Fieldhouse, this New Castle team has a chance to cut down their own nets.
It all started this past Tuesday against the Winchester Falcons, as Seniors Caleb Grow and Dawson Scott put on a show. After Trey Miller hit the opening 3 of the game, it was pretty much over. The Trojans outscored the Falcons 19 to 8 in the 1st quarter. Followed by a 22-10 point outburst in the 2nd. The Falcons never really had a chance in this game, as they shot just 16 for 39 from the field (41%). Leading the way for the Falcons was Brooks Burlison with 10 points. The main difference in the game, was that New Castle hit their shots when they needed to, and the Falcons did not. Seniors Caleb Grow, Trey Miller, and Dawson Scott all reached double figures in scoring. Scott got his 1st double-double of the season (12 points, 10 rebounds). The Trojans win going away, 64-44.
The next game for New Castle will be tomorrow night, as they travel to Marion to take on the Giants.
