They've won their first 15 games and here comes the bad news for the rest of the Eastern Connecticut Conference and state as a whole- they may just be beginning to peak.
The Norwich Free Academy Wildcats boys basketball team just about dismantled the Fitch Falcons Thursday night as they outscored them by 32 points and even had a 21-0 blitz in the third quarter.
"What we're looking for is the killer instinct from the beginning of the game," NFA coach Neal Curland said, "Get to that intensity level and play it for every minute you're on the floor and the last two games- we've come pretty close."
Curland did add the obligatory "We can still get better line" and that's possibly true but it would be hard to sell that to the Falcons.
R.J.Evans was just immense inside with 25 points, many of those points coming off his eight offensive boards, he had 12 rebounds in total. NFA center Jon Merjuste added 10 boards, six on the defensive glass while Garvin McAlister chipped in with 14 points, 12 of those coming on 3-pointers.
Now the only task for the Wildcats is to keep up this kind of intensity for the next dozen games or so.
