SPRING VALLEY, WI – It just always seems to be a battle, these games with Elk Mound, and the latest round was no different with the Cardinals coming out with the win.
Valley improved their record to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the Dunn-St. Croix conference with a match-up tonight at Durand (3-1 in the D-SC). The Cardinals hosted Luck this past Monday and will travel to White Bear Lake on Saturday for a match-up with Liberty Classical Academy in a non-conference tilt. The Cardinals will travel to Elmwood on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, before hosting Boyceville on Friday, January 24.
The game between the Cardinals and Mounders here last week was definitely one for the ages as both teams had moments when they dominated the other team. Valley jumped out to the early lead at 10-2, but back-to-back three pointers by the Mounders closed the gap to 10-8. Halfway through the first half, the Cardinals led 15-12, but Elk Mound went on a run that forged a 15-28 lead through solid shooting and defensive stops. The Cardinals did close the gap to 24-32 by halftime however.
