I may be alittle late on the info, but I will toss it out there anyway. My recollection from being a kid growing up in Licking County was that Newark also had a Pren Snow. I believe he played for Newark in '70 when they got beat by Col. East in either the semi's or finals. This was the East team that had Dwight Lamar, Ed Ratleff, and another guy?( I am suddenly doubting my Memory). Could have been '69. Those 3 East players all played Div. 1 basketball, none of them at OSU.

Congratulations to Newark!!! Great to see them get this far.

The Wildcats will play for their first state championship in 65 years after a 63-44 rout of Toledo Whitmer in a Division I semifinal in front of 13,221 in Value City Arena.

The students rushed to the front rows and Newarks side of the arena was filled to the rafters by the start, easily besting any other schools turnout during the state tournament.

The amount of fans certainly didnt go unnoticed by the team.

It was amazing, senior Greg Avery said. I think I might love our fans. I think Im in love with them.

Props to Newark. Now they will have to play against a high school who probably has kids on their team from Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. They like to recruit their athletes. Hopefully, the Wildcats can put them in their place.
