The Pleasant Valley boys basketball team tamed the Bettendorf Bulldogs February 28 to gain a share of the MAC championship, the first ever for the Spartans.
The Spartans prevailed at home by four points, revenging a loss to Bettendorf last month.
With the win, Pleasant Valley tied for first place in the league along with Muscatine and North Scott. Bettendorf finished in a tie for second with Davenport Assumption.
The Spartan student body sported white t-shirts to support the team with a "white-out."
The Spartans began playoff competition March 5, defeating Clinton 54-45 at the Pleasant Valley gym. The Spartans will face Dubuque Wahlert next.
