The Basketball Board sponsored by the Junior Class has
been filled. Click the following link to view the board. Winners will be
determined by the last (“ones”) digit in the opponent’s score at halftime and
the last digit in the Blackhawks’ score at halftime. For example, if the score
at half-time is Blackhawks 35 and the opponent 19, then the winner would be
Mary Ackman based on 5 in the Blackhawks column and 9 in the opponent’s row. If
you’re confused, just wait for the announcement at each Varsity halftime of the
winner! Thank you and good luck to everyone who purchased a square.

for Christmas gifts or during break. If you think you’ll want to pick your
