The Golden Eagles dropped two games to National tournament qualifiers Black Hawk who was the Midwest District A champion for Region 4 and Bryant and Stratton who was the Midwest District B Champion. But the selection committee would ultimately give the Golden Eagles the nod to the dance.
Rock Valley's Massey strength of schedule would help secure the 12 seed in this years national tournament.
"We believe in playing a tough non-region schedule which ultimately helped us secure a spot in this years national tournament." Stated Head Coach Darin Monroe.
