From 1962-64, the Newton Cardinals dominated the scene in Iowa high school basketball with back-to-back state championships.

Now, five decades later, that team will be back on top for one night.

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the 1963 championship team, Newton Senior High School will host a Champions Recognition Night at halftime of the boys team’s game against Knoxville tomorrow. A pre-game reception will be held in the school’s multi-purpose room at 7 p.m., and the ceremony is set for approximately 8 p.m.
