this week.

and students will be wishing the Lady Blackhawks team good luck in a “Blackhawk
Pride” human tunnel as they leave for the State B Tournament. The public is
invited to attend to show their support for these young ladies, coaches,
cheerleaders and statisticians!

to change) if you’re interested:

Following is some Girls’ State B Tournament information:
The Sanborn Central and Woonsocket Booster Clubs have
chosen the following themes:
Thursday – Black/We’re Back in Black
Friday – White/Retro Day
Saturday – Black/Tutu Day
The Booster Clubs will once again be providing a hospitality
room for all three days from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the Crossroads in the Dakota
Ballroom (attached to the Huron Arena). Free will donations will be taken for
the food and beverages. Thursday is pizza, Friday is sub sandwiches, and
Saturday will be meat and cheese trays. All SCW fans are welcome and encouraged
to attend.
The Huron Arena has established the following rules in
regards to the bleacher area: The bleachers behind the north basket will be
reserved for the tournament band only and team personnel if space is available.
The bleachers on the east and west side of the main court will be reserved for
the spectators of the two teams playing. The tournament director will designate
which side the spectators will be seated on. The main floor bleachers will be
reserved seating for the teams playing in Sessions 1-2-4-6 (Thursday afternoon
and evening, Friday evening, Saturday evening). After the first game in each of
those sessions, the bleachers will be cleared out so the spectators of the second
game in each session can move into the bleachers. Spectators are asked to exit
the bleachers to the south after the players/officials have exited the floor
from the first game and the players/officials from game two have entered the
court for warm-ups. In other words, you will not be able to save seats in the bleachers
during the game ahead of yours in the sessions referenced above as they will be
completely clearing the bleachers between games.
Tournament passes can be purchased at the Huron Arena, or
you can pay per session.
On Sunday, the Booster Clubs will be hosting a Welcome
Home Celebration at the Woonsocket Gym about noon. If you want to join the
welcome home caravan, please meet at the 3 mile corner at 11:45 a.m. Weather
permitting, the girls will board fire trucks at the VanDyke parking lot like
they did last year.
