NEWPORT–When was the last time you saw a member of the North Country basketball team dunk a ball?
In the three years since I have been covering the team I had yet to see it happen, but when I stopped by the NCU gym to chat with coach Brian Bonvechio, I finally saw it.

NEWPORT–This year it is going to be about the doing the little things right for the North Country girl's basketball team.
