“It was a close game,” Senators Assistant Coach Darrell Lawson said. “We were up four, and they hit a three as the buzzer went off. We were ahead by four or five most of the second half.”
Norris, which made it to the state tournament last season, will next play tonight (Feb. 5) when it takes on Chattanooga Prep.
Tipoff is slated for 8 p.m. at Anderson County High School.
Chattanooga Prep had a first-round bye Saturday, as Area 6 did not have a second qualifier from its district tournament.
Norris won its district tournament recently.
