The VS boys basketball team was expecting a challenge when they hosted Maquoketa on Tuesday. The Cardinals lead the Wamac East and have lost just once this season, by five points to Class 4A Davenport West.

The Vikings built an early 13-4 lead, but the Cardinals quickly netted two 3-pointers and soon evened the score. The teams played close until the end. The VIkings had a chance to make a game-tying 3 with 11 seconds left, but another blocked shot -- one of five on the night by the Cardinals -- ended the Vikings' hope of an eighth straight win.

Senior Tyler Stueck was the only Viking to score in double figures, leading VS with 13 points.

V-S had started January with a 63-32 win at Oelwein on Monday evenng.

The Vikings lead the Wamac West with a 7-3 record. They host Marion on Friday.
