Fast start pays off for Quigley

Written by Nicholas Tolomeo on .

Nick Tolomeo's feature on the Quigley girls' basketball team:

"Quigley Catholic girls basketball coach Bill DelTondo did not have to remind his team about the importance of getting out to a fast start in the playoffs.

The past two seasons, in WPIAL first-round playoff exits, the Spartans saw firsthand how tough it can be to bounce back from a slow start.

This year Quigley turned the tables on the opposition, jumping on California early in the first round on its way to an 81-38 win and getting ahead of St. Joseph early

and cruising to a 60-31 win to reach the WPIAL semifinals for the first time since 2010."
