The Norcross Blue Devils hosted the Marriott Invitational this weekend and swept two Florida powers straight out of the gym. The Blue Devils got strong performances from Denzail Jones both nights, with the second night throwing in 18 points to go along with Taariq Muhammad's 19 points. The Blue Devils won 80-66 over Monsignor Pace the Florida Class AAAA No.1. Monsignor Pace featured Rakeem Buckles, a Louisville commitment had 27, but Blue Devils coach Jesse McMillan was proud of his team. "Buckles is really, really good. He had 27 on us be he had to work for every single one and we didn't let anyone else hurt us." Norcross post players Adrian Hubbard and Ariel Jones helped offset all of Buckles's efforts with 18 points and four blocks. "We played great both games and a lot of it had to do with our inside players picking up their play," according to McMillan.
Now Norcross will get back into region play, where the team is 11-0.
