Durand-Arkansaw pulls away from Spring Valley, secures share of Dunn-St. Croix title

Feb. 16—Durand-Arkansaw boys basketball completed a regular season sweep of Spring Valley, knocking off the Cardinals 57-44 to clinch at least a share of the Dunn-St. Croix conference title. The Panthers started slow, but kicked into gear late in the first half and pulled away late to secure their second conference title in three seasons.

The win checks off one of Durand's goals coming into the season and avoids what could've been a three-way tie for the conference title. Had the Panthers lost, there was a chance they would've had to split the title three ways with Elk Mound and Spring Valley if the trio matched results in their final conference matchups or the Panthers could've obviously lost the conference title altogether.
