Turkey Valley isn’t as much of a pass-the-ball-until-you-find-the-open-girl team as they were a year ago. 

After Thursday’s 62-50 win over North Fayette Valley, Turkey Valley’s boys have met all of the opponents in the Upper Iowa Conference.
And defeated them all.

Before the season started, New Hampton boys basketball coach Chad Sweitzer made a pronouncement — Oelwein’s Northeast Iowa Conference losing skid that stretches back to 2012 will come to an end this year.

As far as New Hampton/Turkey Valley coach Nick Hemann was concerned Thursday night, it was mission accomplished.
