"The phrase "target on the back" is frequently used in sports to describe a person or team with great expectations.
With success and talent comes much increased attention, motivation and envy from other teams and individuals that it's as if there is a proverbial target right on them, ready to be hit.
For the Seton-LaSalle girls basketball team, the concept is nothing new. But its central target, the bull's-eye, just happens to be much more pronounced -- it's the 0 on the right side of its won-loss record last season when it ran roughshod over opponents.
The Rebels enjoyed a perfect record in 2011-12, a reality that has seeped into the minds of WPIAL teams for most of the past year."
