Tuesday night is now the night for sportstownchicago.com to cover high school girls basketball. We have seen some good games so far: Wheaton North 55 Glenbard South 50 from Dec 14, Walther Lutheran 30 Immaculate Conception 29 from Dec 21, and Montini 52 Columbus (IN) 35 from Dec 28.
Our January 4 game to kick off the new year was between two top 20 teams: number 6 Bartlett (15-1), and number 11 Geneva (11-4) (rankings reflect the Chicago Sun Times).
The Hawks of Bartlett had control early in the game and at the start of the 3rd quarter, but a tenacious Geneva full-court press gave Bartlett problems, and disrupted the flow of their offense. The Vikings were down as many as nine points, but took a one point lead into the 4th quarter. However, the Hawks were able to rally back and hold on to a two point 54-52 victory.
The Vikings were led by Kat Yelle, who had 17 points and six steals, while the Hawks were led by Jacki Gulczynski who had 11 points and 16 rebounds.
