decisions kid last skills
It's not even the same kid as last year. Her skills ... her decisions ... it's been an unbelievable progression.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
accomplish credit everybody great helped juniors senior seniors taken team
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.
catch great
They do a great job. They have great hands. They catch and finish.
girls group
This is the most level-headed group of girls I've ever been around.
appreciate enjoy love
This first one was a grind, so we're going to enjoy it and appreciate it. But yes, we'd love to be back here again. Let's go again. I'm up for it.
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.
across ball sit tough zone
Kittanning is big, they're 5-10, 5-10, and 5-11 across the front. They just sit in a 1-3-1 zone and make it tough to get the ball inside.
feet gets jordan knock needed
Jordan understands we needed her. When she gets her feet set, she is going to knock some down.
facility far great state though travel
NA is a great facility to play at. What I like most about it though is that we don't have to travel that far to play our first state game.
