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.
