FARMINGTON — The Newington boys basketball team improved its record to 12-2 with a 70-57 win at Farmington Tuesday night. The Indians got off to a slow start as they were down 17-11 at the end of the first quarter. But Newington quickly rebounded and tied the game by halftime. The Indians then went on to dominate the second half.

Leading the way for the Indians was Pablo Ortiz with 29 points and 10 rebounds.

“Pablo played great. Stepped up big for us and had a great game,” Newington coach Scot Wenzel said.

Jared Simmons and Nicholas Guadarrama also reached double digits in points with 14 and 10, respectively. Simmons also had seven assists. Brett Frank chipped in with four points and 10 rebounds.
