“We’re trying to become a good team right now. We have to have a lot of kids playing primary roles. All we’re trying to do is take the next step. Once we take the next step, we’re going to be good enough to do what we need to do.”

– Northern Lebanon Interim Girls’ Basketball Coach Chris Battistelli
“What intrigues me most is that for my whole life, since the age of four, I’ve loved basketball. What’s most intriguing is the transition from player to official and re-learning something I’ve known my whole life. I got to love it again. It’s like falling in love all over again.”

“We have a strong senior class, and most of them have been around, at some level, for a while. We’ve done some good things over the last five years. Our goals are always the same – section champs, league champs, districts and states. That’s the standard. That’s what I expect. It’s what the kids expect.”

– Cedar Crest Girls’ Basketball Coach Jim Donmoyer
