SANBORN CENTRAL E-NEWS
National 4-H Week is October 8-12, and the theme is “The
Revolution of Responsibility”. Sanborn Central will be celebrating by wearing
GREEN on Thursday.
From Band Director Mr. Kroeger: Congratulations to the
Blackhawks Marching Band on a job well done this weekend at the Mitchell DWU
parade!!! What started off to be a very cold and early morning for the band
students, ended up being a great day for marching as the sun came out just
before the parade started. People were amazed to hear the band's new sound and
were wowed by the visuals added to the street show.
Last Friday at Wessington Springs’ homecoming
game, the Blackhawks lost to Wolsey-Wessington 0-40. Offensively, Todd Stekl
was 7 for 17 passing for 49 yards. Jarid Bechen was leading rusher with 28
yards. Defensively, Austin Messmer was leading tackler with 16 tackles and
Jacob Fouberg had 13 tackles. Next game for Woonsocket/Wessington
Springs/Sanborn Central is this coming Friday, when they travel to Stickney to
