A big thank you to all the teams, fans, and volunteers who made this year’s Bureau Valley Girls’ Basketball Thanksgiving Tournament a great three-day event!

JV Update:
BV JV battled hard but fell to Riverdale 33–38. Congratulations to Erie-Prophetstown on capturing the JV title.

The Storm came up short in the championship game, falling to a very strong Riverdale team 45–71. We clawed back to single digits multiple times, but their hot shooting proved tough to overcome. Congrats to Riverdale on earning the tournament crown.
