Sanborn Central/Woonsocket overcame their anxiety on the second day of the State B Tournament and got back to their style of basketball: winning big.
The Blackhawks took the court Friday noon looking for redemption and they found it, putting Timber Lake away early, leading by 12 at the end of one and 22 by halftime.
After extending their lead to 30 points at 62-32 by the end of the third quarter, the first seven were given a rest and the bench was given a chance to gain some experience on the highest level available.
SC/W easily held onto their lead and the final buzzer rang with the Hawks on top, 73-45.
Shelby Selland led all scorers with 18 points. Marissa Weber put in 17 including five three-pointers. Rachelle Moore racked up nine points and nine rebounds.
Morgan Selland added seven points including two three-pointers. Rachel Selland had six points and five assists. Myah Selland also added seven points to the board.
Also getting their names in the books were Candace Page-Marten with three points, and Bailey Moody, Ashley Schmit and Tayla Weber with two apiece.
The Panthers were led by Kristie Mettler with 17 points and six steals.
SC/W went 29-of-43 from the field for 67 percent from the field, 7-of-11 from three-point land. The Hawks went 8-of-15 from the line. They racked up 37 rebounds, 21 assists and committed 11 fouls.
Timber Lake shot 20-of-63 from the field and 2-of-5 from the stripe. The Panthers committed 14 fouls.
Timber Lake went on to face Wall in the seventh place game, but ended the tournament in eighth.
The win put the Blackhawks in Saturday’s consolation championship versus Parker.
