The Waukon boys basketball team had its 2022-2023 campaign brought to a close in heart-breaking fashion in the opening round of the Class 2A District Tournament play Monday, February 13 at North Fayette Valley (NFV). Having fallen to the TigerHawks just a couple weeks earlier in regular season play, 60-51, in a January 31 home game, another fourth-quarter comeback by the bucket Tribe seemed to be on its way to a successful result in this postseason rematch, but a couple NFV three-point daggers forced an overtime period that did not go the Indians’ way at all in ending their season with a 65-56 loss.
The loss completes the Indians’ regular season with a 3-18 overall record that includes a mark of 0-10 in Northeast Iowa Conference play. The win advanced North Fayette Valley to a Thursday, February 16 District 7 semifinals match-up at Osage, where the TigerHawks had their season ended by a 50-37 loss to the Green Devils.
