Swami Lee predicts great things

We’re not too far removed from the turn of the calendar for me to offer a few predictions on what could happen in prep sports among the region’s bigger schools in 2011, especially next month. I had this in the column crockpot the last two weeks, but held it for the last week in January. The coming weeks, as you know, will be wild.

Rosenthal’s Vikings seek fourth consecutive title

Some people are born to do certain things. For Carli Rosenthal, it was obvious at an early age that height and basketball were in her genes. The 6-foot-3 Coeur d’Alene senior’s German grandfather, Hank Rosenthal, was 7 feet tall.
