<p>I love watching these young athletes come into their own and put on a show before starting their high school careers. They are amazing. It is difficult to give full coverage during an event so I wanted to write about the amazing hitters I saw today at the freshman showcase. Let's get started, shall we?</p>

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Norton is a force to be reckoned with on the court. She is a 6' 3" outside hitter from Pantego Christian Academy. She is so fast, aggressive, skilled, and a great hitter. I had so much fun watching her today and I am very interested to see the impact she will have during her high school season. </p>

She is a very versatile athlete who played in the middle today instead of only on the outside where she is probably more comfortable and very successful.
