SPRING VALLEY, WI – It was an up and down start to the season for the Spring Valley boys’ basketball team. The Cardinals started with a non-conference win over Pepin-Alma but followed it up with a non-conference loss to a tough Altoona team in the Northwest Tip-Off Classic at UW-Stout on Saturday. Both games had positives and negatives to them.
The Cards now hold a 1-1 overall record with no conference games yet. That will change as Valley travels to Glenwood City tonight, as well as Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran on Saturday, before hosting Colfax next Tuesday. The team wraps up the 2024 portion of their schedule on the road at Mondovi next Friday, December 20.
Spring Valley 60, Pepin-Alma 51 – It took a little bit for the Cardinals to get moving, struggling from the floor to begin the game and falling behind 5-0. But, when the tide shifted, Valley surged ahead to a 37-25 halftime lead, scoring the final 10 points of the half for the difference.
