Coach Sly: In the spirit of the political season ...

Coach Sly is ready to make a CNN-like projection and "call" the UEC River girls hoops race in favor of Geneva.

It's not even halfway through January yet, but we've seen enough to tell there's not a true challenger to the Vikings in that conference. It's gonna be a landslide.

Geneva's good but not invincible, as we saw at the Benet tournament around Christmas. Hate to say it, but it's more a reflection on the state of the rest of the conference that there ain't much drama in that River race.

The Vikings still need to take these last several weeks seriously because they will be challenged before long once the postseason gets going next month. Always fun to see what those girls can do in postseason play.
