Palumbo is undefeated and had to work to stay that way, especially in the final game.
"Hustle. That's the only word I can give you is nonstop hustle," Griffins coach E.J. Goldstein said.
"It definitely is cool because our girls won in Class A in the fall, but lost the championship to Masterman. Our team pushed the girls to do better and the girls pushed our team. This year, we had a pretty hard road."
Palumbo will compete in the PIAA Class AA state tournament beginning Tuesday. - Joe Fite
