Every team wants to have its destiny in its own hands coming down the stretch. The Grand Valley boys basketball team is no different. And thanks to a strong start to the 2026 calendar year, the Mustangs' destiny is in their own hands. With wins over Windham and Bristol last week, Coach Justin Turk's team has run its winning streak to seven games. They now hold a 13-3 record (10-1 in the Northeast Athletic Conference). Now comes the destiny part. Grand Valley heads to Fairport on Wednesday, Jan. 28, to play the league-leading Skippers. It's Fairport that handed GV its only loss of the conference loop thus far via an 82-58 throttling back on Dec. 9. If GV wins the rematch, the teams are knotted atop the league with a handful of games yet to go. "Our guys have had this one penciled in since the first time," Turk said. "Our guys know what's at stake. It's a big area game. We'll be up for it and I know they'll be up for it. We're looking forward to it." Since the turn of the new year, Grand Valley has beaten Perry (66-54), Lordstown (67-21), Southington (71-44), Badger (85-55) Windham (65-42) and Bristol (48-38). In the win over Bristol, Solly Schultz had a game-high 18, while Carter Turk had 12 and Peyton Plizga 12. In the win over Windham, Carter Turk had 19, Anthony Eason had 15 and Schultz 11. The Mustangs are playing the second half of the season without juniors Evan Skrtic and Luke Giddings, who per OHSAA transfer rules must sit out the second half of the season. "We're a plug-and-play team," Coach Turk said. "It's always next man up. We have eight or nine starters who can play. We're playing really well right now. Our guys compliment each other well. It's a team-first group that doesn't care who scores. All they care about is winning, which makes it a lot easier as a coach." Even if Grand Valley can defeat Fairport, there is no time to rest on laurels. A Jan. 30 trip to Pymatuning Valley is next, followed by Feb. 3 at home against Vienna Mathews and a trip Feb. 6 to Cardinal. The goal, Turk said, is to keep ascending as a team. "Certainly at this time of year you want to be playing your best basketball," Turk said. "We put the schedule together to get us ready come tournament time. We expect to be in a good spot going into that." Grand Valley 48, Bristol 38 Bristol: Miller 2, Otey 11, Berry 5, Gillin 5, Gall 5, Briggs 10 Grand Valley: Eason 5, Turk 12,, Schultz 18, Hart 3, C.
