SPRING VALLEY, WI – It’s been a busy few weeks for the Spring Valley boys’ basketball team since mid-December. The Cardinals, tied for first place in the D-SC going into the break, played a couple of tough programs in their Holiday trip to the Wisconsin Dells in playing Pardeeville and Reedsburg, earning a split against the bigger schools, while the Cardinals opened 2024 with a home win over Mondovi last week to remain unbeaten in the D-SC.

Pardeeville 76, Spring Valley 64 – The Cardinals battled with Pardeeville early, then fell behind to a 33-44 halftime deficit, mainly behind the three-point shooting of Austin Hohn, who drained seven three’s in the game for the Bulldogs.

Valley had forged a 25-20 lead early only to see it disappear. They then battled back in the second half, closing the gap to within two points in the second half, but just couldn’t close that gap all the way.
