Gretna and Norris are an even 3-3 against one another since February of 2015, but not for long. The Gretna Dragons will welcome the Norris Titans at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Last Friday, Gretna ended up a good deal behind Gretna East and lost 56-37. While losing is never fun, the Dragons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska basketball rankings (they are ranked 108th, while the Griffins are ranked 19th).
Despite the defeat, Gretna saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Ava Mcartor posted 15 points. Addison Armitage was another key player, putting up seven points.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Norris, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 50-30 margin over Beatrice on Tuesday. The Titans have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won seven matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Norris has also been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. As for Gretna, their loss dropped their record down to 8-10.
Gretna might still be hurting after the 47-24 defeat they got from Norris in their previous meeting back in January of 2019. Thankfully for Gretna, Brianna Stai (who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 12 rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
