Athlete of the Week: Evan Greenfield

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Channel 8’s Athlete of the Eeek is Norris basketball sophomore Evan Greenfield.

Greenfield led the team in scoring with 18 points this past Friday night in a huge road win in a tough environment at Lincoln Pius X.

“We played really really well. A lot of guys stepped up,” said Greenfield.

But, Greenfield did a bit of everything Friday night adding 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. He credits a lot of it to his teammates, saying this group is having a lot of fun.

“When we play, it’s hard to stop us. You can’t just guard one guy. All the different guys can step up, and make shots and make big plays,” Greenfield said.

The Titans rank as the second best team in their class, and they only have one loss on the year including 15 straight wins.

They’re looking for redemption in 2025. Norris fell to Skutt Catholic in the title game a year ago, and Greenfield knows that’s what this team is thinking about.

“We fell short in the title game last year, and we got a few seniors. This is their last ride,” said Greenfield. ” We’ve got to do everything we can to make sure it’s their best year. We all have the same goal, to get that state championship.”

Norris has five regular season games to go before the playoffs begin at the end of the month. Up next; vs. Beatrice Tuesday night.
