Lady Titans defeat Nebraska City            The Lady Titans improved their regular season record to 11-8 and their EMC record to 5-2 with a win against Nebraska City last Saturday.  Norris outscored Nebraska City 12 – 1 in the first quarter to set the tone for the rest of the game.  Nebraska City would not give in as they were able to score 9 second quarter points, but Norris was able to extend the lead at halftime to 27-10.  The girls did a great job to open the second half.  They came out more aggressive on defense and ran their transition offense much better out scoring Nebraska City 22-2.  This was a great quarter for the girls as it put the game out of reach. In the final quarter Norris outscored Nebraska City 7-3 to make the final score 56 – 15.            This closed the regular season for Norris as they will now start preparation for the district tournament.  Norris opens play Thursday February 25th at 7:30 against Lincoln Pius X.  This year’s district tournament will be played at Lincoln High School.Norris Scoring:            Ashley Schroeder 13, Jordan Funk 11, Felicia Tekolste 7, Torri Simpson                                    6, Jessica Taylor 5, Alex Mathers 4, Brittany Cvitak 3, Bridget Bucher 3,                                    Alix Bryant 2, Ashley Weyers 2.Rebounds:                   Schroeder 9, Tekolste 5, Funk 5, Bucher 4, Simpson 3Steals:                          Funk 5, Mathers 5, Taylor 2, Weyers 2Assists:                        Taylor 3, Mathers 2
