Mother Nature won most of the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League I’s opening night of 2024 baseball Friday night, but the Maize South basketball teams waited until Mother Nature had her fun and turned the tables against Hutchinson Saturday night for the main AVCTL I basketball victories in the opening week of 2024 action.

The AVCTL I had four games slated to be played Friday, January 5, but Mother Nature had other ideas and hit most of Kansas with a snowstorm, which postponed all four games.

Hutchinson and Maize South were scheduled for an AVCTL I showdown Friday night, but snow postponed the showdown 24 hours to Saturday night and the Mavericks and Lady Mavericks used that extra 24 hours to sharpen things and swept Hutchinson in both games.

The boys’ game was a battle between the top two teams in the AVCTL I at this point in the season and the Maverick boys emerged with a 64-37 victory.
