I when to the game last night and i have to say, Newport is not play well at all. This is a team sport and as long as the I is in there they will have trouble winning. Number 21 last night didnt pass the ball at all, and didnt the last time i seen them play. 32 & 42 inside dont touch the ball at all unless its a rebound. They have a lot of turn overs, and they dribble way to much and dont pass at all, Its like if they pass it they will not get the ball again so they shoot it. I think all the players there worry about is the points they score. If they dont get it together soon, The "I"CATS will have trouble winning games. That is my view of the team. I know it will give the coach grey hair.
