It's going down to the final night in the FVA

What seemed to be a foregone conclusion a week ago is now completely up in the air.

After its offense struggled in losses to Kaukauna and Appleton West, the Fond du Lac girls basketball team needs to beat Appleton North on Thursday night (or hope Kimberly loses) to win a share of its third straight FVA title.

It may be a good thing that the Cardinals play again on Thursday. This is no longer an inexperienced team, it's just a team that is going through an offensive funk. The best thing, I think, is for the Cards to get back out there again and just play.

Fondy beat Appleton North, 47-37, in the teams' first meeting.

Coincidentally, Fondy's victory over North pushed the Cardinals into a first-place tie, where they've stated ever since. Now, the Cards will need a victory over North to stay in first place.
