Meanwhile, it's playoff time, and Norwood had no trouble coming through when it counted. They came out on top against Fordland by a score of 45-36 on Saturday. Winning may never get old, but the Pirates sure are getting used to it with their ninth in a row.
Norwood's win came from a few key players Iberia will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Gentry Davault, who had seven points in addition to seven assists and six boards. Addy Gray was another key player, putting up 14 points and five rebounds.
Iberia's record now sits at 17-7. As for Norwood, their record now sits at 23-5.
Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Iberia has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 31.6 boards per game. However, it's not like Norwood struggles in that department as they've been averaging 26.3 rebounds. With both teams battling to corral missed shots, we'll see if one team can grab an edge.
Iberia ended up a good deal behind Norwood in their previous matchup back in February of 2023, losing 59-42. Can Iberia avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
