About Norah
Expert Analysis
Mike Benson | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Norah had a great season of growth and has set herself up for a nice senior season next year. I anticipate her helping the Packers to more wins than these last two seasons and finding herself on the All-EDC team next season. She made an impressive 50 three-pointers, shooting 35% from deep, a significant improvement from last year. You can tell she put a lot of time into her game during the offseason. She also has worked on her defense. She was West Fargo’s leading rebounder and one of the best in the EDC at blocking shots, averaging 1.5 blocks per game.

Norah has a lot of pieces to become a key player for a Packer team looking for scorers. She has a nice shooting form and can knock down the three. She is able to drive and slip her way to the basket. She has longer arms and is good sized at 5’9, so she has the tools to be effective defensively. Norah has a desire to be a great basketball player and has had a great summer playing on Sanford ND’s top 16U team.
