Bettendorf center Mike Vandello shoots a freethrow during the Bulldogs' win over Fort Madison Feb. 14. Fort Madison lost its leading scorer a minute into the contest and the Bulldogs pulled away in the second half to win by more than 20 points. A loss at Clinton Tuesday, Feb. 17 and North Scott's win over Pleasant Valley left North Scott alone in first place in the MAC. Bettendorf and Pleasant Valley are tied for second with a week left in the regular season.
