Newton boys' basketball team put together a pretty impressive 2012 season, compiling a 19-7 record and entering the region tournament ranked No. 10 in Class AAAAA. However, the second-seeded Rams were upset by Stephenson and their season came to a premature ending on Feb. 15. A little shy of four months later, the Rams are back to work; this time preparing for a summer schedule that has them working just as hard as the regular season.
