SPRING VALLEY, WI – The Spring Valley boys’ basketball team finally had a little time to breathe last week after a busy week before. It didn’t mean anything was easier though as they were pushed to the limit by Mondovi after coasting for a win at Colfax, just to remind them that on any given night any team can win.
The pair of wins improved the Cardinals to 15-3 on the season, 9-1 in conference play. The Cardinals had a non-conference game at home against McDonell Central this past Monday and will play at Elk Mound tonight in a rematch from earlier this season when the Cardinals won 66-62. Valley will host Durand on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, for a rematch of the only conference loss for the Cardinals. The boys’ team will also host E/PC on Friday, February 21.
Spring Valley 76, Colfax 54 – The Cardinals established a lead from the very beginning of the game and never really looked back. Valley jumped out to a 21-9 lead halfway through the first half with a strong inside presence against a man-to-man defense by Colfax. The Vikings slowed the Cardinals offense when they switched to a zone defense, but it didn’t stop the Cardinals from scoring. Valley kept their foot on the pedal and went to the locker room at halftime leading 36-26.
