NORWAY – The Forest Park Trojans overcame a seven-point halftime deficit and outscored the Norway Knights by 11 in the fourth quarter to post a 56-44 Skyline Conference victory in both team’s season opener Thursday at Norway.

The Trojans overcame a 34-27 halftime deficit to outscore the Knights 29-10 in the second half, including 12-1 in the decisive fourth quarter.

FP junior Vic Giuliani, a 2024-25 Dream Teamer who came back after offseason knee surgery, wasted no time establishing himself this year with a game-best 29 points.

Giuliani tallied nine points in the third quarter and six more in the fourth to spark the comeback.

The teams battled to a 15-all stalemate after the first quarter before the Knights outpointed the Trojans 19-12 in the second frame. Elliott Kraemer scored all of his team-high 17 points in the opening half.

Owen Baij sank three 3-pointers for nine points, while Anthony Pineda also produced nine points and Kaleb Lapine added seven for the Knights.

For the Trojans, Aiden Waldo contributed eight points, while Dax Huuki scored seven and freshmen Jace Hagglund and Lyle Price scored six each.

Forest Park was slated to face North Central (0-1) on Friday in Crystal Falls. The Knights will travel Monday to Escanaba.
