Cedar Valley Christian plans to keep moving forward with its football and girls basketball programs, according to CVC Principal Jeff Pospisil.

The Cedar Valley football team lost to HLV, 70-6, last Friday in a game that was stopped at halftime due to concern for the CVC players' health and well-being. The Huskies dressed only 12 players for the 8-man game and two of them were overcome by health issues in the extreme heat.

"Yes, we are going to proceed with our football season," said Pospisil. "The heat was the major factor Friday night. HLV is a very good team and we ran out of gas early.

"I know we will have a couple more rough ones like Springville and Preston, but I think we will be competitive in a few, too.

"We had a couple of minor injuries that should be healed up soon," he said. "It helps that we have a bye week this week to get healthy and get some good reps in practice when it is not so hot out."

Cedar Valley hosts Springville Sept. 13 at LaSalle.

Regarding girls basketball, Pospisil is confident the Huskies will have their own squad again this season.

"I think we will have enough girls for a basketball team this year," he said. "It will probably be small again, but we should be OK."

There was speculation this summer that Shelby Hembera, a Class 1A all-state player for Cedar Valley last season, would play for Kennedy this year if CVC did not have a team. Hembera averaged 22 points last year as a sophomore when the Huskies finished 4-17 with a seven-girl squad.
