The Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central Blackhawks ended their season with a 36-8 loss to Kimball/White Lake in first round of 9AA playoffs Tuesday night. The Blackhawks jumped to an early lead on a 67 yard run by Austin Messmer. Tyler Krueger added the 2-point conversion.  After a long kickoff return by Kimball/White Lake to set up good field position they were able to punch one in and tie the game before end of first quarter.  In 2nd quarter, Kimball/White Lake added another score and lead 16-8 at halftime.  Kimball/White Lake scored quickly in 3rd quarter on 2 long runs and held a 28-8 lead. The Blackhawks put together a drive. Landon Ochsner ran a reverse down to the 10 yard line, but the play was negated by a penalty.  The drive stalled out and Kimball/White Lake completed a long pass for a TD to make the score 36-8. The Blackhawks were led by Austin Messmer who had 159 rushing yards on 19 carries and he also had 10 tackles.  Landon Ochsner also had 10 tackles.  Jarid Bechen and Tyler Krueger had 9 tackles apiece.  The Blackhawks end their season with a record of 5-4.

I would like to thank all the parents for their support of Blackhawk football this year.  I know the season did not end like the players wanted it to end, but parents should be proud of their boys as they were a great group to work with.  I would also like to inform everyone that we will have a team meeting for HS players on Thursday, October 31st at 4:00 pm at Woonsocket school.  It is very important that all HS players attend this meeting.  Thanks – Coach Kolousek

The Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central Blackhawks ended their regular season with a 42-22 loss to undefeated Wolsey-Wessington.  The Blackhawks grabbed the early lead against Wolsey-Wessington when Austin Messmer took a short pass from Joe Davis, and broke a couple tackles and ran it in from 54 yards out.  Wolsey-Wessington answered on their next possession with a 70 yard TD pass.  However, the Blackhawks quickly retook the lead when Joe Davis hit Cole Wormstadt on a 64 yard TD pass.  The score was 14-6 after one quarter. The Blackhawks increased the lead to 16-6 when they forced a safety.  Wolsey-Wessington cut the lead to 16-14 with just over a minute to go  in the half.  The Blackhawks got a long run from Austin Messmer to get ball down to the 5 yard line, but were unable to score.  Wolsey-Wessington scored 2 quick TDs to start the 2nd half  to take a 10 point lead.  The Blackhawks were able to put together a drive capped off by a 3 yard TD pass from Davis to Jarid Bechen to cut the lead to 26-22.  However, the Blackhawks could not score again and Wolsey-Wessington added a couple TDs in 4th quarter to make the final 42-22. Offensively, Austin Messmer lead the offense with 75 yards rushing on 14 carries and he also had 2 catches for 60 yards.  Joe Davis was 8 of 20 passing for 162 yards with 3 TD passes and 1 interception.  Jacob Fouberg and Austin Messmer lead the team in tackles with 14 and 12, respectively.  The Blackhawks end their regular season with a 5-3 record.  They will now travel to White Lake on Tuesday, October 29th to take on Kimball/White Lake in first round of playoffs with a 7:00 pm kickoff.

Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central Blackhawks traveled to Stickney on Friday and game away with a wild 36-28 victory over Corsica/Stickney.  The win puts Blackhawk record at 5-2 on the season.  Corsica/Stickney took the early lead scoring on their first drive  of the game.  The Blackhawks answered the score on a 13 yard run by Joe Davis.  The 2-point conversion was good on pass from Davis to Brady Teide.  The Blackhawks got the ball back on an interception by Landon Ochsner.  However, Corsica/Stickney intercepted a Blackhawk pass and returned in 92 yards for a TD.  Corsica/Stickney held a 12-8 lead after one quarter.  With 2 minutes to go in first half, the Blackhawks retook the lead on a 10 yard run by Austin Messmer.  Corsica/Stickney returned the kickoff for a TD.  The Blackhawks put together a drive right at end of half that was capped off with a 1 yard TD sneak by Joe Davis with 2 seconds left  and the Blackhawks held 22-20 lead at halftime.  The only scoring in 3rd quarter came from Corsica/Stickney and they held 28-22 lead going into 4th quarter.  The Blackhawks scored early in 4th quarter on a 3 yard run by Jevon  Hohn and  the score was tied at 28.  Late in 4th quarter Corsica/Stickney drove the ball down to the 5 yard line and had a  2nd down and one to go.  The Blackhawks were able to come  up with a stop with  big plays from defensive line.  With 2 minutes to go the Blackhawks had to punt from their own 15 yard line.  Corsica/Stickney fumbled the punt and the Blackhawks recovered at the 43 yard line.  On the next play Landon Ochsner rambled 57 yards for go ahead TD.  Austin Messmer  ran in 2 point conversion for 36-28 lead.  Corsica/Stickney was  able to get a couple first downs, but once again the defensive  line took over with a couple sacks and the Blackhawks took over on  downs and then proceeded to take a knee and run out the clock and secure the victory.  Austin  Messmer had 145 yards  rushing on 25 carries.  Cole Wormstadt had 2 big catches for 41 yards.  Both of Cole’s catches were on 4th down and allowed Blackhawk drives to continue.  Jarid Bechen had 12  tackles and Austin  Messmer 11 tackles to lead the defense.  This was a  great team  effort  for the victory, but the offensive and defensive  line play was key to pull out the win.  Leading the way on the line was Blake Messmer, Chase  VonEye, Garrett Larson, Brady Teide, Jarid Bechen, and Jacob Fouberg.  Next game for the Blackhawks is Thursday, October 24 vs. Wolsey-Wessington at Woonsocket starting at 7:00 pm. 

Playoff Scenario.  The Blackhawks will be in the 9AA playoffs.  Official pairings will come out Friday morning after Thursday night’s games, but it looks very likely that Blackhawks will take on  Kimball/White Lake in first round of playoffs on Tuesday, October 29.

Good Luck to the football team as they host Highmore/Harrold tonight.  It’s homecoming in Springs and Jack Links is hosting a tailgate party with all proceeds going to Spartan athletics.  Show no mercy. Make no excuses.

Due to Parent-Teacher conferences on Monday, October 14th,  MS homework club will meet on Tuesday, October 15th.  Students make sure your work is turned in!!!!

MS Updates have been uploaded for next week.

The Sanborn Central administration will be asking you to participate in an informal survey about Parent-Teacher Conferences.  Surveys will be available at PTC on Monday.  Parents will receive a copy of the survey from one of their oldest child's teachers.  There will be a box in the main hallway by the MS Computer Lab and in the Commons to put completed surveys.  If you would like to look over the survey before Monday a copy is downloaded on our webpage under "Forms and Publications" in the Miscellaneous folder.

We have been collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.  The Kingsburys will be headed to Rochester the week of October 21st.  Lynette will pick up what we have on October 21st – so if you are stock piling any – bring them in!

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, October 14th from 1:00-6:00 pm. These are the hours that the following teachers will be available for conferences:
