SPRING VALLEY, WI – Spring brings eternal hope and spring sports seasons, which usually brings cold weather and sometimes snow before finally bringing good weather. The Spring Valley softball team started their season last week with a pair of home games. The schedule is hectic for the Cardinals from this point forward with multiple games per week from now until the middle of May.

The start was not exactly what new Head Coach Matt Ducklow, and the team, were hoping for as the Cardinals jumped right into the conference schedule with a tough loss to a very good Boyceville team. Despite losing 10-0 in five innings, the Cardinals got some solid positives out of the game. Valley followed it up with a tough 14-9 loss to Clayton-Turtle Lake here last Friday, April 4, 2025.
