POSTVILLE - The Trojans made a stop in Postville for an Upper Iowa Conference contest last Tuesday (January 25th) to take on the Pirates. After three quarters of play the two teams were all knotted at 46 points apiece. The Pirates (1-2, 1-11) managed to outscore Turkey Valley (3-2, 8-6) in the final quarter 17 to 16 to take home the first win of the season 63-62.
Turkey Valley held a five point lead after the first quarter 17-12 and increased that lead to eight points by halftime 30-22. It looked like Postville might go winless once again.
