Norfolk State reflects on fast start

NORFOLK, Virginia -- After wrapping up a six-game road trip, Norfolk State returns home to Joe Echols Hall in a three-way tie for first place in the MEAC.

The Spartans, which graduated several players last year, have won 11 of their 19 games and are 4-0 in conference play.

Second year head coach Robert Jones has done all of this with a new-look team compared to last season.

“The season has been interesting, obviously the unknown factor coming into the season with 8 new guys,” coach Jones said. “We’ve had some early success and we’re just trying to continue that success, but the 4-0 start in the MEAC is a pleasant surprise honestly with this new group.”

Senior guard Jamel Fuentes, who has seen his share of success with the Spartans, is happy about the fast start, but he’s focused on the big picture.
