   The Turkey Valley girls’ basketball team (6-3, 6-1 UIC) ran past Postville (0-9, 0-7 UIC) Tuesday night, defeating the visitors 64-29 at home.
   The Trojans had the game solidly in control after the first eight minutes with a 25-7 lead. By halftime the advantage stretched to 26-16 and TV kept the Pirates in single digits in the third and fourth periods to claim the conference win.
   “I really liked our intensity on defense, as well as the tempo we played with.  Coming off break you never really know how the girls will respond, the girls answered that early. We attacked the basket which resulted in 24 free throw attempts,” noted Coach Steve Hoffert.
   The hot hand was had by Jacqlyn Schmitt who put up 26 points and had six steals in the Trojan victory. Aubrey Hoffert was also in double digits with 11 points, while Alison Leibold provided eight points and three steals.
   It’s a busy couple of weeks on tap for the Trojans as they host Class 1A No. 13 Riceville Thursday, Jan. 5, followed by a UIC contest at home versus Kee Friday, Jan. 6.
