FOUNTAIN LAKE -- Fountain Lake's Hannah Norris helps her team on the court by playing hard and fast, while off the court displaying a friendly personality with strong leadership skills.
Lady Cobras head coach Matt Carter said Norris is "the motor of our defense."
"She brings energy every night with her effort," Carter said of the senior forward's intensity. "She never takes a possession off. She is a winner because of the way she works every day."
Norris recently met with The Sentinel-Record to provide a glimpse of what she is like off the court.
