North gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Robbinsdale Armstrong Falcons 67-65. The victory was some much needed relief for the Polars as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
North's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Alex Rodrigues led the charge by dropping a double-double on 17 points and 18 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Duke King, who scored 20 points plus eight rebounds and two blocks.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. North will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Harding at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Robbinsdale Armstrong has already played their next game (against North), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
