Norcross came up just short of its sixth state title since 2005-06 last season, falling in the GHSA Class AAAAAAA title game to a Meadowcreek team the Blue Devisl had beaten in their four previous meetings that year.
In 2018-19, the Blue Devils will be in search of their first state title since 2012-13, led by an experienced group of returners, along with a few impact transfers.
First team AJC.com Class AAAAAAA selection Sturdivant, and second-team selection Boston return to lead the charge, with 4-star senior transfer Ramsey adding another talented post presence to an already elite Georgia roster.
Norcross faces an ultra-challenging schedule, taking on Montverde Academy, DeMatha and Roselle Catholic — in addition to traveling to the Chick-fil-A Classic in late December.
The Blue Devils enter the season with one of the most complete rosters in the nation.
