There will be HS CCD at St. Charles in artesian tonight at 7:00 pm

Congratulations to the students who represented Sanborn Central at the Region V Vocal Music Contest. The girls ensemble – Breanne Brandenburg, Morgan Selland, Jessica Schmit, Lorrie Eppe, Tamra Mann and Claudia Miller received a superior placing, as did soloists Morgan Selland and Tamra Mann.  Though Tyler Johnson’s point total was just shy of a superior rating, we are extremely proud of his solo performance.

The Blackhawk Boys BB team lost to #1 rated James Valley Christian by a score of 77-66 in Huron last night.  Helping the cause:  Davion-13 pts & 5 reb, Dillon-9 pts & 8 reb, Tyler- 13 pts, Tucker-13 pts & 7 assists, Jalen-3 pts, Josh- 6 pts, Brady-9 pts & 5 reb, Jaedyn-4 reb.  We shot 26-62 42% FG, 6-9 67% FT , SCW rebound advantage 34-24. JVC shot 60% FG in 1st half and 54% for the game.  Coach Olson’s comments: JVC came out firing and really set us back. We knew they would probably shoot well in their gym but we tried rushing our shots which didn’t force them to play defense for very long. We thought we were still in striking distance at halftime and just needed to focus on making stops.  We did accomplish that but too many unforced turnovers didn’t allow us to make a serious comeback.

The boys finished the tough 281 Conference in 2nd place with  this being their only loss. Our next action is Thursday vs Mitchell Christian.  If we can win this game the boys will be undefeated in the CBH Conference and win it for the first time in 26 years.

Today we will highlight band instructor, Mr. Kroeger, a SDSU graduate after completing high school in Parkston.  He saw the opportunities that his director, Danny Eye, gave to small town schools and wanted to be able to encourage musicians to do the same.  Mr. Kroeger looks forward to seeing students succeed at music.  The “AHA!” moment when the student knows they get it is priceless!  Mr. Kroeger is the only left handed person in his family for an unknown amount of generations.  As a 6 day old infant, Mr. Kroeger was in a car fire.  He is currently working on his masters degree for music education at Northern State University. Mr. Kroeger, we thank you for bringing the beat of the drums to Sanborn Central’s music program these past two years!
