The recently completed campaign saw Norris claim both the district regular-season championship — completing a perfect run through district play — and the district tournament title.
The Lady Senators also swept Jacksboro and Robertsville and notched an early-season victory over Clinton.
Norris’ season, however, came to an end with a 40-35 loss to Madisonville in the opening round of the sectional tournament.
Addie Blevins scored 13 points and pulled down several rebounds for the Lady Senators in the season finale.
“We had a great season, especially if you look at where we were when I took over two years ago,” Norris coach Derek Wallace said. “I was glad to see them achieve their goals, especially our eighth graders.
“We have 14 girls coming back and some good players, and I’ve known most of them since they were about 8 years old. I’m happy with our season, and I’m excited about our offseason and our future.”
