Only two teams have made it through the first two games on their Valley Conference boys basketball schedule with a pair of wins.
Cleveland and Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial are both 2-0 in the conference. And the Clippers and Knights are the next two teams on the schedule for Martin County West. St. Clair has yet to play a conference game.
The Mavericks will play at Cleveland Monday and host LCWM on Thursday.
MCW is 1-3 overall after its 84-69 nonconference loss at Blue Earth Area Friday. The Clippers are 2-1 with wins over Madelia and Alden-Conger sandwiched around a loss to Cedar Mountain.
When the Knights visit Trimont Thursday it will be the second meeting of the season between the teams. LCWM won the first game.
Martin County West then has two road games Dec. 18-19 to close out the pre-holiday portion of their schedule, playing at United South Central and Alden-Conger.
