The library will be closed during the first three class periods today due to AP practice testing. Our baseball team split with the visitors from Gull Lake last night. Losing the first game, the Knights were able to bounce back, taking the second game 6-1. Norrix was led to victory by junior Jackson Bennett who started and pitched six innings, allowing just one run and striking out six batters. Our team was led at the plate by junior Sayani Jones and senior Lucas Frankart, who both hit towering home runs to surge the Knights to victory. The boys will be back in action tomorrow at home against Portage Central.
