Nolan Cumberland had a three-pointer among his seven points. Dawson Perkins hit a pair of shots to finish with four points, with Braden Shepherd and  Tayde Kiser each hitting a shot from beyond the arc to balance the Valley scoresheet.

NorthWood’s Trent Edwards had 13 points, with Ben Vincent, Jamarr Jackson and Brock Flickinger had 10 points each.

NorthWood won the JV game 51-33.
