A season after winning the state sectional championship Middletown North started its defense of their title. On Friday December 14, 2012 Middletown North was on the road against fellow A- North team Howell. The game was 4 PM and was the first shot the defending champs had to take.
After a slow first couple of minutes North got their legs under them and away they went. Following the loss of four senior leaders many questions have abound about the talent of this new group. Those questions were put to rest, at least for the time being as North crushed Howell by a final of 62-35.
Leading the charge for North was starting senior guards Will Bowman and Cody Thompson. North’s next game will be their home opener against Marlboro at 6:30 on Tuesday. Another thing to keep in mind will be the raucous crowd of North Nation the Sixth Man as their called.
