The SCW Lady Blackhawks won the 281 Conference Tournament Championship on Thursday, Jan. 17. They played a good game against Hitchcock-Tulare and won with a final score of 58-45. Members of the championship team are back row, left to right: Head Coach Tim McCain, Taryn Ziebart, Madi Moody, Tesa Jensen, Mariah Jost, Megan Poyer, Brooke Doering, Erica Howard and Assistant Coaches Robin Moody and Sarah Swenson; front row: Katie Schmit, Trista White, Ellie VonEye, Teya Moody, Trinity Boschee, Abby Vermeulen, Kaylee White and Taylor Lindsey.

On Monday, Jan. 14, the girls beat Wolsey-Wessington 60-40, which advanced them into the championship game against Hitchcock-Tulare. They had already met the Patriots and beat them earlier this season, but the 281 Tournament always proves to bring on new challenges. It was a tougher battle, but the Lady Blackhawks came out on top with a final score of 58-45 and the title of 2019 281 Conference Tournament Champs.

The Lady Blackhawks improve to 8-3 on the year, and their next action on the court was Tuesday in a doubleheader against Hanson in Woonsocket. Details on that game will be in next week’s issue. Following the Hanson game, the girls will be in Wessington Springs on Thursday, Jan. 24.
