The Hawks will take on the Knights starting at 5:45 for the girls Varsity in the main gym and the boys JV in the practice gym. Following both games, the boys Varsity teams will take the court at 7:30 in the main gym and the girls JV teams dueling in the practice gym.
“We want to stay focused after last week’s game,” senior guard Jayson Wakefeild said. “On Friday we need to focus on our defensive pressence and on offense focus on moving the ball more.”
Wakefield and the boys varsity team will try to keep the momentum following December 14th’s 63-55 win against Aurora.
On the other hand, the girls varsity team will attempt to rebound from their loss against defending Class A State Champions, Millard North.

To support the Hawks Friday night, Southwest SFF asks students to wear their most festive Christmas gear for the West vs East rivalry games.
