ball catch girls luxury move post
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.
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.
frustrated role second
He's right, she is our key. She understands her role very well, but she's also a scorer. She was a little frustrated in the first half, but she scored better in the second half.
chances time
I'll take our chances any time in a one-game series.
best shot
Day in and day out they've been able to take everybody's best shot because that's what you get, especially in the playoffs.
deal dealing playing state
I don't think it'll be a big deal for us to be out there playing for a state championship. They've been dealing with that bull's-eye from day one.
energy four games gas kids lose
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.
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.

Sarah was the X-factor again tonight. She turned things around for us. She turned up the intensity.

Winning the WPIAL has been one of our goals. Now we're going to focus on our next goal and that's to win a state title.
claim line poise situation tonight
Tonight I'll claim her as my niece. There's no one else I'd want at the line in that situation ... she has so much poise ... (She was) fabulous, unbelievable.
last looked looking year
We're not looking at it that way. We looked at it that way last year and we lost.
bit body dig extra fans front gear great harder needed players second seen student tested understood
To be tested in a game-situation like this in front of 1,500 fans and their great student body, we hadn't seen anything like that. Sure, we needed it. Our players understood when you're under the gun, you have to find an extra gear and dig down and concentrate a little bit harder and we did that in the second half.
defense played rebound solid typical win
Yea, that was typical of how we have played all year. We like to play solid defense and rebound the basketball. That's how we win games.
