SPRING VALLEY, WI – The wait was worth it for Spring Valley fans as the WIAA opening game was delayed due to weather conditions here last week. The delay ended up causing the Cardinals boys’ basketball team to have to win and advance on three straight nights.
The team did just that, in dominant fashion for three straight nights, to capture the WIAA Regional Title for the first time since 2022, earning the right to advance to the WIAA Sectional semifinal tonight against Turtle Lake, the number one seed in the section. That game will be played at Chetek-Weyerhaeuser High School at 7:00 p.m. tonight. If the Cardinals win, they will play the winner of the other sectional semifinal between #4 seeded Rib Lake and #6 seeded Prentice, on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at Hayward High School at a time to be determined. The winner of that game would advance to Madison.
“I am just really happy for this group of kids to achieve another one of their goals,” said Head Coach Rob Bosshart. “Every one of them played a significant role in winning this regional tournament, some with their contributions on the court during the games, others by embracing their roles on the scout teams in preparation for the games, and all of them for bringing such a positive energy to the team. every one of these kids played an important role and should be proud of what they have accomplished so far.”
