catch great
They do a great job. They have great hands. They catch and finish.
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.
girls group
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.
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.
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.
chances time
I'll take our chances any time in a one-game series.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
