SPRING VALLEY, WI – The location of the Spring Valley football field lies on the grounds of the old iron smelter. With a week off due to a forfeit win over Colfax, there may have been some concern that there was some rust due to the layoff. If there was, the Cardinals quickly knocked the rust off and got to work.
The ending result was a complete domination of Clear Lake from start to finish for a 33-0 win to improve to 2-0 in conference play and 4-0 overall. That record, combined with the level of play they have exhibited, has resulted in a number eight ranking in Division 7.
The Cardinals opened the scoring after stopping the Warriors opening drive with a quick-strike 31-yard touchdown pass from senior Cade Stasiek to senior tight end Caleb Bartko. Sophomore Isaac Koenig kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 5:22 left in the first quarter.
