ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East coach Lori Drumtra can’t remember the last time the Saints toppled area stalwart and Upstate Eight Conference River Division defending champion Geneva.

The Vikings have been one of the more dominant girls basketball programs around and have had their way with many teams, including East recently.

A strong second half and matching 25-point efforts from Carly Pottle and Paige Jordan propelled the Saints to a thrilling 81-75 overtime win over Geneva to take an early lead in the division.
