Boys Valley Conference Sees Maple River Win, MCW & St. Clair Too

The Maple River boys' basketball team is finally getting some respect.
The Eagles won the Pepsi Holiday Tournament for the 2nd straight year and now they landed in the class 2-A poll at number ten.
Maple River was in Madelia this evening looking to stay alone atop the Valley Conference.
The Eagles got off to a hot start, leading 29-2, before the Blackhawks went on a 13-8 run to close the gap a bit.  Maple River would not let up though, as they go on to win big 72-32.

Martin County West hosted Mankato Loyola in Sherburn, in a battle for 2nd place in the Valley.  The Mavericks defense held the Crusaders in check as MCW goes on to win 58-38.

Cleveland hosted Saint Clair as well on Friday night, and this one was a little closer, but the Cyclones beat the Clippers in the end 72-63.
