ATHLETICS
The Blackhawk Boys lost a close game to JVC last night by a score of 71-65.  Helping the cause:  Dillon- 2 pts, 5 reb; Trevor- 12 pts, 1 reb, 2 ast, 2 st;   Tucker- 10 pts, 2 reb, 3 ast;   Trent-1 pt, 2 reb 3 st;   Josh- 9 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast, 2 st;    Brady- 27 pts, 13 reb, 1 ast   Rex- 4 pts;     Wyatt- 1 reb     Coach Olson’s comments:  Two things stand out in this loss.  Firstly, too many unforced turnovers.  20 turnovers is 20 missed opportunities at the basket.  We need to value each possession much better.  Secondly, the free throw discrepancy between the teams.  JVC shot 27 to our 7 attempts.  Our team was a little frustrated by the lack of consistency in calls but thought our team battled until the end.  The team is looking forward to our upcoming conference tourney which will be very competitive.
