The JV Hawks came back Thursday and showed a tremendous amount of grit against an exceptional MBA team. The 42-21 score does not reflect the defensive effort by the young team, which was quite impressive. Mckinley Bradshaw led the Hawks with six points followed by Will Bickley with five points. The Hawks were also supported by a good rebounding effort from Eli Russ and Jackson Husbands. The JV Hawks will be back in action Thursday night against USN at 5:00.
