Cadets keep it close, but never lead against Valley

LATIMER – Valley Lutheran’s boys basketball team figured out a way to keep one of the state’s leading scorers off-kilter.

Even still, CAL found a way to keep the Monday, Dec. 15 Iowa Star North Conference game close in an eventual 56-48 loss to the Crusaders.

The Cadets’ Austin Guerrero was held well below his early-season average of 29.2 points per game at 11, scoring just three second-half points after a frustrating first half to begin with.
