Norman racking up accolades

Katie Norman was also recognized in the Chicago Sun-Times as a Second Teamer in the Girls All-Area Team for Class 3A.

Congrats, Katie.

Three members of the Pretz named to Class 3A All-State Team

It's official, three members of the Freeport girls basketball team have made the Class 3A All-State Team.

Point guard Katie Norman, with 54 points, was voted First Team. This season, Norman averages 12.6 ppg, 5.1 apg (team-high), 4.3 rpg and 2.5 spg. The senior point guard was the first of four senior Pretzels to reach 1,000 points and has risen her free-throw percentage to 64 percent — the highest amongst all starters.

Small forward Suporia Dickens, the 2007-08 Freeport Athlete of the Winter, was voted to Second Team. She leads the Pretzels in points (14.8), rebounds (7.3) and steals (3.0) per game. She earned 44 points this season to make Second Team (second only to, surprisingly, Richwoods' Mariah Smith).
A primarily inside shooter, Dickens leads the team in field goal percentage.

Forward (and I guess center) Courtney Shiffer earned honorable mention. This season, Shiffer leads Freeport in blocked shots (1.9 bpg) and went up a steal a game from last season (2.8), which is second on the team.

Congrats to Norman, Dickens and Shiffer.
