Valley Defeats Sumner in Hard Fought Conference Match
Valley defeated Sumner 18 to 7 as Valley’s defense stymied Sumner’s offense and capitalized on turnovers. Bob Rothlisberger ran for a second quarter score, Randy Sumner caught a forty yard pass from David Thompson for Valley’s other TD, and Gary Kittleson recovered two fumbles. Sumner hoped for a late rally but a fourth quarter fumble return and failed extra points sealed Valley’s win. Upper Iowa Conference standings and next week's schedule follow.
