The “second season” begins in girls basketball this week, and QCSportsNet joins the Rock Island Rocks and Pleasant Valley Spartans girls teams on their journeys to the state tournament! The Rocks and Spartans have legitimate state tournament hopes, and QCSportsNet will be there every step of the way. Rock Island opens regional play on Wednesday night and plays Friday if it wins. Pleasant Valley opens Iowa regional play Saturday night at home against Dubuque Hempstead.
In boys basketball action, Pleasant Valley has two chances to win its first outright Mississippi Athletic Conference championship since 2006 when the Spartans travel to Burlington on Tuesday before closing the regular season with a home game against Davenport Central on Friday night. The voice of Burlington Bees baseball, Michael Broskowski, joins QCSportsNet to call the PV-Burlington game. Rock Island and United Township square off on Friday night.
Please review the schedule carefully and follow the game links. If the Rock Island girls win on Wednesday night, the UT-Rock Island boys game will only be on the QCSportsNet UT channel. We will continue to update you on Twitter and our website with game listings. The schedule shown below assumes the Rock Island girls win on Wednesday night.
