The junior high Sanborn Central/Woonsocket boys completed a successful day of basketball on Saturday, Jan. 21, in Wagner. The Blackhawks finished the day 2-1. In opening round action, the Blackhawks were paired against the best team they have seen all season. Playing Wagner, the Blackhawks came up short 23-61. In second round action, the Blackhawks defeated St. Francis, 43-11. In the final game of the afternoon, the Blackhawks played their best game of the season, defeating Mount Vernon 28-15. The Blackhawk defense was aggressive all game, holding the Titans at bay after falling to the Titans at home by six three weeks ago. Several Blackhawks contributed in both wins, and several Blackhawks found the scoring column. Up next, the JH boys will play Hitchcock-Tulare in Woonsocket on Friday, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m.
