champion happening hard hear ready time
Sometimes you hear about the WPIAL champion having a hard time getting ready for states. I don't see that happening with this team. They'll be ready to play.
bumped few game hear lose rolling stayed stood true word
Sometimes as a coach, you think it's better to lose a game and get bumped down a few pegs, but they didn't want to hear any of that. They stood by what they said. They stayed true to their word and, hopefully, they'll keep rolling along.

They've been great senior leaders. Our juniors get a lot of credit for our success, but it's taken everybody on this team to accomplish what we've done. Our seniors were the ones who helped get this thing started.

This is the most level-headed group of girls I've ever been around.

athletic ball catch easier girls job luxury move post
It is such a luxury to have girls like the Novacek girls who can catch the ball in the post and move the way they can. A lot of times you get a girl in there who is big, but not very agile. I can't tell you how much easier it makes my job that those two are athletic on the inside.

I told the kids that this is a four-lap race. If we would lose this game, I don't know if we'd have the energy and the gas to keep going. We have four games now to get where we're going.
athletic easy kids
They are very athletic kids who make it pretty easy to coach. But I didn't have any big kids for over 15 years, so I was overdue.
coaches girls position teach
It comes from them. Our coaches teach defense. We put the girls in position to make plays. But they go out and do it. They rebound. They defend.

It's such a luxury to have girls like the Novacek girls who can catch the ball in the post and move the way they can.
aspect eastern everybody hard knew preparing seeing tape thinks watch watching whoever won
It's not as hard as everybody thinks -- honest. They know our personnel. We know their personnel. From the aspect of preparing for somebody, now I'm going to watch the tape of whoever won that eastern final, but watching the tape and seeing them in person are two different things. So, I knew what (Moon) could do.
