Thursday night was a nice night for football in late October but turned out to be a rough night for the WWSSC Blackhawks, as their season came to an end in a 0-44 loss against Winner in a Class 11B State Quarterfinal game played in Winner.

In his post-game recap, Head Coach Michael Schmitz stated, “This was a tough game. This team came in ready to battle, but Winner was just too physical and executed really well. The Blackhawks battled to the very end but were not able to keep the game close. The end of the season is never easy, especially when you have a group of kids like this. It has been my pleasure to work with each and every one of them.”

On Monday, Oct. 28, the SCW Lady Blackhawks traveled to Howard to play a rescheduled game against the Tigers. It was a great way to start the week for the ladies, bringing home an easy three-set win with set scores of 5-25, 22-25 and 21-25. 

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, the Lady Blackhawks had their final regular-season game in Mt. Vernon against the MVP Titans. With Head Coach Darcy Deinert still at the helm, the Titans are a strong team, and they proved that again last Tuesday night handing the SCW ladies a three-set loss with scores of 12-25, 21-25 and 11-25.

SCW ended their regular season with a 17-10 record. They hosted their first round of the Region 3B Tournament in Forestburg on Monday, Nov. 4 against the Flandreau Indian Lady Indians. The outcome of that game would determine if they continued to the second round of play on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Results of the tournament games will be in next week’s issue of the Sanborn Weekly Journal.
