Meanwhile, Galena's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their fourth straight loss. They lost to North Valleys on the road by a decisive 61-42 margin. While losing is never fun, Galena can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Nevada basketball rankings (they are ranked 66th, while North Valleys is ranked 17th).
Bishop Manogue's victory bumped their season record to 0-0 while South Tahoe's defeat dropped theirs to 1-3.
