The Wayland boys and Wayland girls perhaps couldn’t have done any worse in their Class B district tournament draws this year. Both will face thus far undefeated opponents in the first round.

The Wayland boys will be at Comstock at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25, to take on an Otsego squad that hasn’t lost yet this season (18-0). The Wildcats are 12-6 and they’ve had good luck in the past against the Bulldogs in tournament play, regardless of record.

The Lady Wildcats, now 3-14 on the season overall, will have to climb a huge and formidable mountain against a Hamilton team that is 17-0. The two teams are scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. Monday, March 4, at Hudsonville Unity Christian High School.

The earlier game at 5:30 that Monday will find Hopkins girls (9-5) taking on the host squad. Hudsonville Unity (5-8).

The Hopkins boys (12-4) earned a bye in the first round at the tournament in Allegan and will get tourney play under way against either Hamilton (7-11) or host Allegan (4-14).

The finals will be at 7 p.m. Friday, March 1, with formidable opponents Holland Christian (14-4) or Hudsonville Unity Christian (16-2) the likely foes.

The Martin boys will play a Class D tourney opener at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, at Tri-Unity Christian against Holland Calvary. If they win, they will play in the 6:30 p.m. Friday finale against either host Tri-Unity or Zion Christian.

Martin girls (11-2) will be on their home floor for their districts. They will play at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, against either Covert (2-6) or West Michigan Lutheran (11-4), who will square off in the tourney opener Monday evening, March 4. If the Lady Clippers prevail, they will meet either Lawrence (3-9) or Byron Center Zion Christian (8-6) in the finals at 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 8.
