SUV Game of the Week: Norcross vs. North Gwinnett




The SUV will be onsite at Norcross' House of Blue on Tuesday, January 14 to webcast the matchup between the host Blue Devils and the North Gwinnett Bulldogs. Whether you attend in person or catch it on @SUVtv, this will be a competitive game you don't want to miss. Norcross comes into the game at 12-5 (7-2) while North Gwinnett comes in at 15-2 with 10 wins and no losses in Region 7-AAAAAA.

The word "rivalry" can be one of the most overused terms in sports. Sometimes we just attach it to any particular game we look forward to watching. In this case, the rivalry shoe fits. On top of some region battles prior to this year, the 2013-2014 school year has added plenty of fuel to the fire for this Norcross vs. North Gwinnett matchup.

There's...
  • ...the intense first meeting between these two squads on December 5, which ended with a close 49-47 victory for North Gwinnett on its home floor
  • ...the 2013 GHSA state football championship game between Norcross and North Gwinnett, a 31-14 victory for the Blue Devils
  • ...the competitive element between both schools that even resulted in a few trending social media hashtags and lighthearted barbs via the web 

The March to Macon for both teams is the bigger picture priority that they use each game to work towards, but make no mistake, Tuesday's SUV Game of the Week is one both teams want. Norcross looks at the season as #64vsUS while North Gwinnett looks to #LeaveNoDoubt. Something has to give on this Tuesday - head over to Norcross or tune in to the SUV to see it play itself out on the court.
