2-18-2014 Pekin 60, Iowa Valley 64

It was one of the most competitive, well-played and pressure-packed high school girls’ games that anyone could ever witness; but for one of the teams, it was the final game of the season.

South Iowa Cedar League champion Iowa Valley hosted the Southeast Iowa Super Conference’s second place team, Pekin, last Tuesday in the quarterfinal round of the 2A Regionals. The Tigers used their exceptional length and athleticism to their advantage and won the game in the paint by scoring at will inside. 21 points by Lily Seye and 15 by Jackie Kriegel helped IV hold on for the 64-60 win, ending Pekin’s season at 16-5 overall.
