TRURO — Alex Welsch did most of the damage, but it was junior TJ Bower who wielded the dagger as Nodaway Valley survived a tough Pride of Iowa Conference road test against Interstate 35 here on Friday, winning 60-41.

The loss was the first of the season for Interstate 35 in Pride of Iowa Conference play, and ended an eight game winning streak for the Roadrunners. Interstate 35 dropped to 8-3 overall with the loss.

After the Roadrunners closed the deficit to 41-36 heading into the fourth quarter, Bower scored six of his eight points during an 11-0 Wolverine run that spanned the first four-plus minutes of the fourth quarter.
