We told them to stop settling for outside shots and go inside. They came out ready because they wanted to beat Centennial. These girls have some pride and they worked really hard to get ready for this game.

We're tall, we're pretty lanky and we're fast. This is my ninth year here and we haven't beaten (Mifflin) since I've been here, and based on what I've heard it's probably been since the mid-1980s since we've beaten them. We're all on the same page right now and we really can't wait to play now.

When you consider that Mifflin lost to Linden (59-58 on Dec. 6), Linden lost to East (38-34 on Jan. 4) and Northland (51-47 on Dec. 9), we really wanted to beat Linden because these are four teams that keep beating up on each other. Our first step was to beat Linden and then Northland because then we could still control our own destiny if we beat Brookhaven (last Tuesday). Our goal is to get to the City League championship game.

It really sounds like somebody she knew. It's just kind of a bizarre thing, but then again, this whole thing has been bizarre. We're just waiting to see what comes of it.

She would not have done that to my mother. She and my mom were very close. She would have never left her students without a teacher. She had too much respect of her students to leave them.

I think someone she knew is involved. I think something bad happened.
