2023 GHSA SWEET 16

Bulldog signee Lamariyon Jordan went off for 36 points — 27 in the second half — as fourth-ranked Norcross pulled away from Osborne for a 72-60 victory in the Class AAAAAAA second round. The defending state champion Blue Devils (25-4), unbeaten in February, will host Newton at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Elite Eight, marking the fourth time those two have played the last two seasons.

In the first six possessions, Wheeler's Damion Mitchell made a 3-pointer, and Josh Hill, Isaiah Collier, Arrinten Page and Mitchell all had dunks. Wheeler finished the game with 10 dunks overall and Page's second in the sequence, on an ally-oop pass from Collier, capped a 13-5 run to open the quarter and pushed the Wildcats lead to double-digits at 48-37. They didn't slow down from there as the lead eventually grew to be as large as 28 points before settling for a 74-49 victory
