Coach Sly: Supersectional worth checking out

Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa

Thirty one wins down, one more needed to send the Geneva girls back to the Final Four in Class 4A.

Sly doesn't think the Vikings are by any means a shoe-in against a quality Hersey outfit on Monday but coach Nolan's team has given little reason to doubt them.

Coach Sly's not sure what has been more impressive: The way Geneva shares the rock, or Lauren Wicinski's rebounding. She has just beaten people up on the glass all postseason, and those second and third chance points are a killer when combined with the Vikings' other strengths.

Should be a lot of fun on Monday night. Bolingbrook would probably be waiting in the semis if Geneva wins, so you never know when the fun will come to an end.

This has been an outstanding, outstanding run by Vikings. Sly advises everyone to soak it up as long as it lasts.

If you're on the fence about attending on Monday, get out to Streamwood and root the girls on. Monday nights are a snore after NFL season ends.

If you don't think girls basketball is your thing and you've never seen this team play, go out and check them out ... they play a very entertaining brand of basketball, and they play awfully hard.

You never know, maybe it'll be that extra boost from the stands that helps push them to a return trip downstate.
