Will no one stop the streaking Martin boys’ basketball team?
Coach Brad Moelker’s Clippers Tuesday night cruised to their fourth consecutive victory on the hardcourt this season with a 53-33 decision over Zion Christian in Byron Center. It’s the best start Martin has had in a long time.
Hopkins is another hoops squad off to a quick start. The Vikings turned back Comstock Park 54-42 to improve their season record to 3-0.
Looking ahead to Friday, the boys will again be on the road traveling with the Lady Clippers at SAC rival Saugatuck.
