The Waubonsie Valley girls basketball team walloped Upstate Eight Conference rival East Aurora 71-34 on Friday night to finish 10-0 and win the UEC outright for the first time since 1998-99. The Warriors did it in typical fashion - contributions from everyone. Even though the team led by nearly 30 points at halftime, only two players reached double figures yet all 12 players who played scored. This is very different from the squad that last accomplished the feat of winning the UEC outright. That team had Ashley Luke, an unstoppable Division-I recruit who was a versatile threat inside and out. At any given moment, Luke could step up and score 20 or more points in a game. But the 2008 Warriors don't have a player like that and although they seem to like it that way, could it be their downfall during the post season? Or could the team's versatility be the very reason they surpass the Ashley Luke-era?
