Neale Coming on Strong for Norsemen
Alfred Neale, a 6-5, 190 pound swingman from Northeast Oklahoma A&M College in Miami, Okla., is coming on strong this winter for the 19-8 Norsemen.
After a slow start, Neale averages 15 points and six rebounds per contest for NEO, which plays in the Bi-State Conference.

UTEP, Wisconsin, Colorado St and Nebraska are the schools most actively recruiting Neale, according to NEO Head Coach Jason Turk.
JUCO Junction caught Neale in action back in October at the Central Missouri State Jamboree, where he played reasonably well for the Norsemen.
A freakish athlete, Neale bench presses 300 pounds and jumped 7-4 as a high school high
jumper prior to arriving at NEO.
Neale's improved play this winter will no doubt generate more interest in the 6-5 swingman. The Norsemen should be in action at the Region II Tournament in Shawnee, Okla., which kicks off with quarterfinal round play on Thursday, March 6.
JUCO Junction expects to be in attendance, so you can be sure that we will keep you abreast of Neale's play from that event.
