NORFOLK, Virginia -- Jeff Short drove right, then left, then right again before looking one way and passing another.As a teammate converted an easy layup off his assist, Short let out a scream, one of many heard during Norfolk State's public intrasquad scrimmage Tuesday night.
"I'm a very emotional player," Short, a senior guard and the Spartans' top returning scorer, explained after putting up a game-high 24 points to lead the Green team to a 62-53 victory over the Gold. "That's what makes me go. "That's what made me the player I am today."
NSU, which opens the season Nov. 14 at South Carolina, will need that player and then some. Of the Spartans' 14 active players, nine are new to the program.
The newness was clear at times during the scrimmage, in which both teams struggled with rebounding and shot selection. Combined, they made 19 of 33 free throws.
