Way to go Cavs!! Followed this game mainly via texting, so with out being there or listening to it, it seems as though Newark got us in "their" kinda game. Those who have followed this team this year however, will tell you that regardless of the game's tempo, Chilly will really stick you on D. Big win.

On the biggest stages of this year's schedule, Chillicothe is 2-and-0.
Three weeks after knocking off three-time defending D3 state champ North College Hill in Cincinnati, the Cavs beat Newark at Ohio State 59-53. It's Chillicothe's 10th straight win.
The Wildcats jumped out to a 15-11 lead through the game's first 8 minutes, using a similar strategy implemented by Marietta Friday night, packing the paint and forcing the Cavs to shoot over a zone defense.
In the second period, Humpty Hitchens struck for 8 points over that zone as the Cavs outscored Newark 18-9 to take a 29-24 halftime lead. The Wildcats shot just 22 percent in the quarter.
Out of the intermission, Hitchens hit the Cavs first basket. Then, it was Ray Chambers' time. The Cavs' center scored 11 conseuctive points giving Chillicothe a 39-27 lead.
Newark made things interesting, forcing three Chillicothe turnovers late in the game closing the gap to 51-49, but the Cavs righted the ship as Hitchens put the game away with five free throws down the stretch.
Hitchens finished as the game's MVP with 24 points. Chambers had 17. Caleb Knights added six, Stu Beverly 5 while Ron Smith and Seth Dawes added 4 points each.
The Wildcats and Cavs hadn't met since 1976 as members of the former Central Ohio League.
Chillicothe (10-1) resumes SEOAL play Tuesday at Ironton. Newark is 10-3.
