Had you not watched the junior play Wednesday night you’d have still figured it out from the grin Flynn flashed outside the Penn Wood locker room.
Four days after taking out No. 2 seed Holy Ghost Prep, the Patriots had just upset third-seeded Penncrest, and their leading scorer knew exactly what that meant.
“It’s a great feeling,” Flynn said of earning a spot in Saturday’s District 1 Class 5A final at Temple. “We almost gave up, but then we were like, ‘Yo, we really want this.’”
This, as Flynn referred to it, was an eventual 56-51 victory at Norristown High School in a game that seemed like it was going to get away from No. 7 seed Penn Wood. Leading 46-40 with less than four minutes to play, Penncrest had all the momentum.
Until it didn’t.
