They're wild about the 'Cats

Bittner said she and most students have a lot of friends on the teams, which makes it more fun.

"We have a lot of school spirit," she said.

Karla Chambers, secretary for the school principal, is heading to Ocean City, Md., with her daughter for a basketball tournament Friday night, but she plans to make all the Williamsport games.

"A lot of faculty go to all the games," said Chambers, who is a Williamsport High graduate. "We make a night out of it."

"Everyone's really excited," said Kathy Jordan, whose daughter Jennifer plays volleyball.

"What are the odds of having three teams going (to the state championships)?"

"I can't recall any school having three championship games in one day," Williamsport Assistant Principal Warren Barrett said.

"It's really phenomenal," he said.

"It's going to be a long day but it should be exciting," said Richard Porac, whose daughter Kristine is on the volleyball team.

Many of the players are excited for their friends on the other Williamsport teams, in addition to being a little nervous about their own games.

"We're all rooting for each other," said Ashley van Norden, a starter on the soccer team, which is traveling to Catonsville early to catch the volleyball game.

"It's so much more exciting to have the other teams there too. It shows we're a well-rounded school," said senior volleyball player Christina McAllister.

The volleyball team plans to stay for both soccer games.

"Everyone wants to see three state titles," said Ryan Mease, a senior soccer player, who admitted he probably won't get much sleep tonight.

"I'll be pretty nervous," he said.
