PLAYER BIO

Crystal Norman set the high school world on fire as a freshman, ending the year 8th in the state in scoring and by far the top freshman scorer. Riley finished 15-6 that year, behind a 24.0 per game average from Norman, with a season high 40 points against Mishawaka. She backed up her scoring prowess with an average of 12 boards. She broke the Riley school record for freshman scoring twice during her first year, exploding for 39 against LaPorte, then following up with the 40 point game against Mishawaka. The potential was enough to gain her national attention, even a No.12 ranking nationally by Full Court Press.

Norman followed up her outstanding freshman year with a 14 point, 7 rebound average as Riley's scoring became much more balanced, especially with the emergence of teammate Suntana Granderson's game.
