JV Blackhawk Boys Stay Undefeated

by Coach John Weiler

The JV Blackhawks hosted the Spencer Rockets Dec. 9th and won 65-28.  The Hawks jumped out to a 24-9 lead midway through the half but the Rockets went on an 11-6 run of their own.  The Blackhawks led 30-20 at the half.  We shot well in the half making 14 of 28 of the field for 50%.  Vincent Henke worked hard in the paint scoring 18 pts.  We also only had 5 turnovers.  In the second half the Hawks' trapping defense gave Spencer trouble, getting 10 more steals and 15 for the game.  Our defense did a heck of a job holding the Rockets to just 8 second half pts.  Mason Gay hit a pair of threes along with Quinn Hatlestad scoring 10 pts in the half with a 3 ball.  Ethan Sowieja also dropped a 3 in and scored 7 pts.  We rebounded well with Henke grabbing 15 to lead the team.  The guys took care of business and got a nice win.
