On Friday, Sept. 29, the Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central (WWSSC) Blackhawks headed to Mobridge to take on the Mobridge-Pollock Tigers. The game turned out to be the most difficult win for the Blackhawks thus far, but they did come home with their sixth victory of the season with a final score of Blackhawks 18, Tigers 8.

The Blackhawks scored all their points in the first half of the game and started with a 14-yard run from Tyson Eddy for six points. The two-point conversion failed, which left the score at 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. 

Their first touchdown of the second quarter came from a four-yard pass from Holden Havlik to Blake Larson for six.
