Waubonsie Valley boys basketball has given their fans plenty to party about this season, as they take on Metea Valley. The Warriors are winners by 30 or more points in their first four games. Now they have their first conference challenge this year with a trip down Eola Road to face the Mustangs. Metea is 3-1, with their lone loss coming to Downers Grove North, the team that knocked Waubonsie out of last year’s postseason. This highlight is sponsored by BMO.
