Girls Basketball National Ranking: Norcross Reaches No. 23, North Gwinnett Is No. 5

Making the No. 25 spot last week, the Norcross High girls basketball team finally make it on MaxPreps' national ranking list.

After defeating Langston Hughes 62-16 in the semifinals last Saturday, the Lady Blue Devils have climbed up two spots on the list and are now ranked at No. 23.

Thing is, the state championships for the Class AAAAAA title is this Saturday, March 9, and Norcross is playing against North Gwinnett, who ranks No. 5.

Here's what MaxPreps had to say about the Norcross girls:

The one time Norcross beat No. 5 North Gwinnett, it was a 47-29 rout. The losses were by 15 and five so, even though the teams have played three times, there's no pattern that predicts who should win the AAAAAA title game Saturday. Guess we'll just have to watch…

MaxPreps notes in the North Gwinnett summary that the Bulldogs have won twice against the Blue Devils.

The two teams will play 7 p.m. this Saturday at the Macon Coliseum. Tickets are $10.
