In a game with a slow start, the Blackhawks picked up steam and ended their Homecoming Week with a 35-12 win over the Tripp-

Delmont/Armour/Andes Central/Dakota Christian (TDA/ACDC) Thunderhawks on Friday, Sept. 22. 

The scoring started with a 20-yard pass from Holden Havlik to Ryder Michalek for WWSSC’s first six points. The two-point conversion failed and the score at the end of the first quarter was 6-0, Blackhawks.

In the second quarter, TDA/ACDC answered back with their only touchdown in the first half of the game and tied the score at 6-6. The Blackhawks scored once more that half with a quarterback keeper by Havlik in a one-yard run. Havlik took it in himself for the extra points, and the Blackhawks were up 14-6 at halftime.

WWSSC was the only team to score in the third quarter when Havlik found Michalek with a 47-yard pass for six points, but the attempt at two extra points failed, and the Blackhawks went into the fourth quarter with a 20-6 lead.

After TDA/ACDC scored their second and final touchdown of the game in the fourth, WWSSC answered with another touchdown by a short run from Havlik, and a pass from Havlik to Bryce Larson for the extra points brought the score to 28-12. The final six points of the game were scored by Blake Larson with a 35-yard catch from Havlik, and Brett Miller had the successful PAT to end the game with a 35-12 Blackhawks win.
