Good Luck to the Blackhawks as they head north to Wolsey for a 7:00 kick off today.  The bus leaves here at 4:30.  Wolsey/Wessington is hosting a tailgate (including hamburgers and hot dogs) supper prior to the game.  If you aren’t making the road trip – be sure to tune in to KOKK 1210 am to listen to the live coverage.   http://www.kokk.com/

5/6th Basketball practices at SC today.

7-12 VB is at Woony today.

There are still a few yards left!  Here’s how it works ~ “The Longest Yard", the juniors are selling yard lines for the Blackhawk Football game on Thursday, Oct. 20th vs. Hitchcock-Tulare at SC.  For $10, you get a yard line.  If the last play of the first half ends on that yard line, (regardless of what end) you will receive $100!  The juniors will automatically get the 50 yard line but end zone through 49 are available.  If the last play of the half is a touchdown, the end zone will receive the cash, or if a player is tackled at the 21 yard line as time expires, the person with the 21 yard line wins, etc. (Extra Point/2 point conversions will not count as yard lines, but as end zone).​  You can talk to a junior, or email Mrs. Susan Farrell-Poncelet at susan.farrell-poncelet@k12.sd.us to reserve a yard line.  

Juniors are fundraising for prom! We are starting sales of magazines and several other purchase options. Please talk to a junior if you are interested in helping raise money for this year's prom, or go to http://www.gaschoolstore.com click on shop now and then enter 2520781. You will then have an option on what junior to sponsor.  Type in junior's name and shop away.  If you have any questions, email Mr. Flatten at corey.flatten@k12.sd.us

It's I got your number, I got your back
When your back's against the wall
You mess with one man, you got us all
