On Tuesday, Dec. 19, the Blackhawks hosted the Mt. Vernon/Plankinton (MVP) Titans for a doubleheader in Woonsocket. The night started with the girls’ junior varsity game. The younger SCW ladies had their third close game in a row, winning by a small three-point margin, 30-27.
The boys JV game was next, and the Blackhawks had no problem winning their final game of 2023, with a final score of SCW 50, MVP 34.
The Lady Blackhawks varsity squad had a tough night, finishing with a 21-61 loss against a seasoned Titan team.
The night ended with a “nail biter” that went down to the wire, but the Blackhawks just could not finish on top, and when the buzzer sounded, it was SCW 43, MVP 46. The Blackhawks out rebounded the Titans 32-18, but they also recorded more turnovers, 19-11.
The Lady Blackhawks fell to 3-1 for the season, and they play their next game on Friday, Dec. 29, at 3:30 p.m. against DeSmet in the Huron Holiday Classic in the Huron Arena.
