It was the “Battle of the Big Boys” in Alexandria last Tuesday night, when Devon Weber proved himself as a powerhouse inside the paint for the Blackhawks. Weber and Hanson’s Nathan Stewart battled all night in the lane and under the hoop, and it was Weber who prevailed as the victor.

Holding Stewart, one of Hanson’s top scorers, to just two points for the entire game, Weber led the Blackhawks in scoring with 13, while Noah Dickson added 12 points and led all rebounders with 12.

The Blackhawks improve to 10-2 on the year and see their next action on the court on Monday, Jan. 29, in a doubleheader at Ethan, and then again on Thursday, Feb. 1 for a doubleheader with Corsica-Stickney in Sanborn Central.

On Saturday, Jan. 27, the third and fourth grade and the fifth and sixth grade girls basketball teams played in Woonsocket, and the boys in those same age groups played in Sanborn Central.

High school players and some adults helped out with reffing and keeping score so these young kids could get some more playing time.

The fourth grade boys took home first place in their age division.
