The ball and the game are up for grabs in this final play of the game Friday night between Bettendorf and Pleasant Valley boys basketball teams. With Bettendorf ahead by two points, Pleasant Valley lobbed the ball to the center with less than 2 seconds left. The ball sailed high and the Bulldogs escaped with a 50-48 win at Pleasant Valley.

Improvements to Splash Landing and Duck Creek Recreational Trail up for discussion.
