Can’t wait for these eggs to hatch H

ave you ever had a bad case of counting chickens before they hatch?

Well, I believe the Sauk Valley hen house of wins is going to be overflowing with chicks by the time March gets here.

That’s why I decided to make the title of this section “Off the Charts.”

Actually, the idea came while I was designing the win report for the Prophetstown Prophets girls basketball team.

See, not only is my column taking up the next-to-last page in this section, but it is also one of the last things that I am going to do before putting this bad boy to bed.

So a week or two ago, I was designing the Prophets win report from last season, and their win total of 31 went off the template chart we use for each team.

With the Prophets returning a heap of talent from a team that finished second in Class 2A, and considering the Prophets will play this postseason in 1A, it seems probable they will completely jump off the charts when we put together this section next year.

I hate to pile too much pressure on the Prophets, but this crew could get coach Don Robinson his 700th career coaching win ... and a very big trophy for the case at Prophetstown.

But it’s not only the Prophets that should shine in the Sauk Valley in 2015.

Eastland returns post player Lexis Macomber from a team that finished third in 1A year ago.

Amboy returns nearly everyone from a team that almost beat Eastland
