ATHLETICS
The Blackhawks Boys season came to an end with a 77-76 loss to JVC in semifinal district play.  Their season ends with a record of 17-4. Helping were:   Trey- 1 ast, Dillon- 24 pts, 13 reb, 2 ast    Tucker- 10 pts,8 reb, 2 ast, 1 st     Trent- 5 pts,2 reb, 3 ast, 1 st     Josh- 9 pts, 3 reb, 5 ast, 1 st     Brady- 28 pts, 9 reb, 2 st, 1 blk    Rex- 2 pts, 2 st, 1 blk    Wyatt-1 blk      We shot 30/62 FG for 48%     3/12 3-pt FG for 25%    13/16 FT for 81%.    We were outrebounded 41-35 and had 14 turnovers.  Coach Olson’s comments:   “Aggressive teams win” was our theme for postseason and we were the aggressors in building a lead through 3 qts.  In the late 3rd quarter they went small lineup out of necessity and we could not get the right personnel or defense in place to guard them.  JVC hit some long shots, some tough shots, and attacked the rim.  They grabbed the wave of momentum and rode it to the end.  Our boys continued to fight but came up a basket short in continuing our journey.

Season outlook:  The boys team won the CBH conference outright (5-0) and tied in a 3-way race (7-1) for the 281 conference.  The 17 wins ties the record made 2 years ago and the last 3 years the team has gone 48-16 for a 75% win record.  Seniors:  will be greatly missed.  These boys (Dillon, Brady, Tucker, Garrett Larson, Josh, Rex, and Jastyn) have been a major part of our program and the success it has had the last few years.  We ask for a great deal of commitment from players and this group has my utmost respect in positioning this program with the top teams in the state.      Underclassmen:  The younger players have worked just as hard and are excited to show their talents as well next year.  This group has been waiting in the wings but they understand they must continue to build their skills.    All 34 players have been a fun group to help coach this year and I’m sure have been a great source of entertainment and pride for our Blackhawk community.

Blackhawk Fans are paving victory lane for the ladies with a Pep Rally Friday, March 4th at 2:30 in Woonsocket before they take on Castlewood at the Huron arena.  HS students will ride the bus to and from – if you want to drive you must have parent permission!  Any MS or EL student wishing to attend may do so with parents and will not be allowed to ride the bus.

7/8th Girls Willie Mac will practice Sunday at 1:00 at SC.

Dr. Seuss……..“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”   This applies to all of us, we were all born to stand out in our own unique way. Unfortunately it’s very easy to fit in, do what everyone else is doing, and get what everyone else gets. Standing out can come in many forms, you can give a standout performance, or you can simply hold ideas and beliefs that are uncommon and go against the grain. So don’t be content just to do things the way everyone else is doing it, stand out like you were meant to!
