<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>IOWA CITY, Iowa - </strong>Pleasant Valley entered the season ranked 10th in Class 5A. I left here on Thursday night thinking there's no way nine teams were better than the Spartans. They cruised to three straight-set victories in the MVC/MAC Challenge at Iowa City West High. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PV graduated a lot of talent off of last year's squad that reached the state championship match.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Pleasant Valley entered the season ranked 10th in Class 5A. I left here on Thursday night thinking there's no way nine teams were better than the Spartans. They cruised to three straight-set victories in the MVC/MAC Challenge at Iowa City West High.
