ACADEMICS
We are having issues with chrome book chargers being left at home and students grabbing chargers not belonging to them.  Each student is responsible for their own charger that is assigned to their chrome book.  Students have until this Thursday, February 11th, to make sure that each charger is back here at school.   If this problem is not fixed by Thursday, ALL chrome books will be taken away for a week, or until all chargers are accounted for. – Mr. Siemsen

Congratulations to the JH Blackhawk teams on their wins in Iroquois last night.  The girls won 48-9 and the boys won 39-27.

The boys Blackhawk BB team took down #2 rated Wolsey-Wessington on Saturday by a score of 61-44 to move their record to 12-3.  Helping the effort:  Dillon-16 pts, 9 reb, 1 ast   Trevor-8 pts, 2 ast   Tucker- 5 pts,5 reb, 13 ast, 1 st    Trent- 3 pts, 3  reb, 2 ast, 1 st    Josh-13 pts, 3 reb, 3 st   Brady- 14 pts, 6 reb, 1 ast   Rex-2 pts, 1 ast, 1 st   Wyatt-1 reb, 2 st        We shot 23/45 FG for 51% and 7/13 FT for 54% .  We had 14 turnovers and outrebounded them 27-22.  Coach Olson’s comments:  The boys played with a lot of heart and hustle.  I thought we outworked them for all but the 3 minutes to start the 3rd qt.  The boys were able to put enough defensive pressure on them to keep them from getting comfortable.  Offensively I thought we shared the ball well and had great swings to find the open man getting 19 assists on 23 field goals.  Overall the boys played some great basketball for the week - going 3-0 against some very good teams.  We are taking positive strides as we head towards the last couple weeks of the regular season.

The schedule got changed for Friday, February 12th, at Highmore - 4PM Girls JV, 5PM- Boys JV, followed by Girls V and Boys V.
