Devils will have to earn double
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If Norcross is going to win its second straight state championship, the top-ranked Blue Devils will definitely have to earn it.
Next test for Norcross is No. 2 Meadowcreek Thursday at the Macon Centreplex. The Blue Devils should prevail, but Meadowcreek will certainly be pumped for the 8:30 p.m. contest.
After his McDonald’s All-American snub, Meadowcreek guard Chris Allen will want to have a big game to prove his worth. Norcross’ Gani Lawal and J.J. Hickson of Wheeler were both selected to play in the prestigious high school all-star game.
Allen, a Michigan State signee who has had a tremendous senior season, may have an ax to grind against Norcross. However, the overall supreme talent of the Blue Devils could be too much for Allen and the Mustangs to overcome.
No doubt, basketball fans will find it worth the 85-mile trek to Macon to see two of the state’s best teams battle.
