PV boys ranked 6th in 4A standings

Pleasant Valley's boys basketball team ranked sixth in last week's Des Moines Register 4A poll, just ahead of fellow MAC conference member Muscatine.


The Spartans, however, are expected to fall in the same rankings this week after a road loss to Burlington on Friday night (Jan. 12). The Spartans are now 9-1, following a win against Fort Madison on Saturday night (Jan. 13).


Fourth in last week's poll was Cedar Rapids Prairie, which handed Bettendorf its second loss of the season (Jan. 6). The Bulldogs recovered with wins against Clinton and Assumption and sport an overall 8-2 record.
