Court action

The weather outside was cold and snowy, but the action inside Berg Middle School’s two gyms was hot late Thursday afternoon.

Newton's Matt Moran (33) dribbles between two Winterset defenders on his way to a basket for the Cardinal seventh-grade boys. Newton trailed Winterset 20-16 at halftime of the A-team game.

Applying defense is Newton's Anna Forsyth (25) against Pella in the eighth-grade girls' A-team game Thursday. Pella led Newton 39-16 after three quarters.
