Coach Sly: Bummed about Santos
Not much you can say about the Ashley Santos ACL news, other than it's a darn shame.
Santos was the most exciting girls hoopster in the area and losing her really puts a crimp in the Vikings' postseason hopes. You don't lose a player like her and not feel it in a major way.
Most of all, you feel for the kid, though. She's done some great things in a Geneva uni but there's no substitute for going out in style as a senior.
Between her and her little sis Sidney, that's some ungodly, awful injury luck for some really talented young ladies.
It was a good sign to see Geneva get a W without Santos on Tuesday night, and Sly thinks the Vikings are still in great shape to finish the year strong and win the conference.
But this is still tough news to swallow in a lot of ways. Here's wishing Ashley the best at Marquette, and thanks for providing area hoops fans some great memories!
