Norcross Boys, Girls Reach State Basketball Finals

The Norcross girls will face North Gwinnett; the boys will take on Hillgrove. In Class AA, Greater Atlanta Christian's boys and Wesleyan's girls also reached the final game.

Norcross High will again be seeking a "double" in the state basketball tournament.

The Blue Devils boys defeated North Cobb on Saturday at Georgia Tech in the AAAAAA semfinals. Also, the Norcross girls knocked off North Cobb in their semifinals Saturday.

This means they both will be in the finals on Saturday in Macon. The boys will take on Hillgrove, and the girls will take on Gwinnett region rival North Gwinnett, which is in the finals for the first time.
