MONTEGO BAY, St James — TWO days after splitting their season opening double-header in Wakefield, Cornwall College and Muschett High will both be hoping to extend their winning starts as the ISSA Western Conference high school boys’ basketball competition continues with two double-headers today.

Muschett High will travel to Holland High for two games while Cornwall College will host Spot Valley High, the Under-16 champions from last season.

Holland High and Spot Valley are making their first appearance of the season while Cornwall College defeated Muschett High (56-23) in the Under-16 and Muschett High beat Cornwall College in the Under-19 (65-40) on Tuesday.

In the Under-16 game, Giovanni Bailey scored 12 points and Alwayde Thompson got 11 for Cornwall as they dominated Muschett leading 17-4 after the first quarter, 27-12 at half time and 33-20 at the end of the third quarter.
