WEBSTER, WI – Losing the final game of the regular season is always a bitter pill to swallow, but losing a tight game on a missed call is even harder to stomach. The unfortunate fact of the tournament is that just about every team in each division, except for one, ends up losing their last game.
Last week the Spring Valley girls’ basketball team did something they haven’t accomplished since the 2016-17 season, and they did it by earning it. They won their first round WIAA game at home that season when the Cardinals beat Plum City at home before losing to Durand on the road. Valley won as the underdog at Cochrane-Fountain City in 2018-19 in round one, but that was on the road.
