SPRING VALLEY, WI – If you are going to win every-other quarter in a football game, you really want it to be the second and fourth quarters – which is exactly what the Spring Valley football team did here last Friday night.
The end result was a 36-28 win over a Turtle Lake football team that is moving to 8-man football next year, and the two teams battled every minute right down to the final seconds. The win improved the Cardinals to a 2-2 overall record with a 2-0 conference mark. Valley will try to build on that as they play hosts to Cadott tomorrow night (Friday, September 19, 2025). Valley travels to Elmwood next week for another conference road game.
The Lakers got on the board first, using a fake-punt deep in their own territory to get a long gain and first down to prolong their drive. The Lakers drove down and scored on a 4-yard quarterback keeper by senior Brody Tarman with 6:49 left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion try failed, but Turtle Lake scored on their opening drive for a 6-0 lead.
