THE HOT TOPIC: The calendar may only say January, but the whispers of “repeat” are starting to be heard around the Trinity Valley Community College Lady Cardinals.

After Saturday’s romp over Panola, 73-53, the defending national champion Lady Cards are ranked No. 3 in the nation and boast a 20-1 record, 7-0 in conference. The team’s only “loss” came as the result of a forfeit earlier in the year.

If not for that forfeit, the Lady Cards would likely be ranked No. 1.

The girls are scheduled to be home Wednesday night against Paris in the team’s annual Play 4 Kay game, which is to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer. Game time is 5:30 p.m.

Friday, a nice crowd showed up at the McDonald’s in Athens where the Lady Cards were signing pink t-shirts and promoting the event. Kudos to Kevin and Jeaneane Lilly for giving TVCC that venue.

We’ll see you Wednesday.
