Greta Miller’s contributions to Cardinal O’Hara’s 2023-24 season cannot be measured by the markings that appear next to her name in the scorebook.
She didn’t score 20 points per game and she wasn’t the player opposing teams planned for when facing the Lions. The senior guard made her impact with textbook defense and rebounding.
She scored from time to time, and was never afraid to take her shot even when going through a cold spell. Coming into the PIAA Class 6A final against Spring-Ford, Miller had played two straight games without scoring a point.
But Miller had one more big shot left in her Friday at the Giant Center, swishing a 3-point field goal in the third quarter after Spring-Ford had rallied to close the gap to six points. It was an offensive rebound by Miller that led to her clutch basket.
When O’Hara needed someone to make a play, Miller answered the call. The Lions never looked back, ending the game on an 18-8 run en route to a 42-26 victory over the Rams, earning O’Hara’s third state title in four years.
