It was a back and forth swish fest on the hard top. The South East Consortium Hawks met at the
Westchester County Center for a full court inter-team friendly match last
Tuesday evening.
Friends and family were in attendance as the divided Hawks
played the fifth annual Challenger Game. The full court game had all the
fixings of a pro- event; score board lit, two zebra striped officials, booming
announcers commentating on plays and blaring pop music between periods. All
that was missing was Spike Lee in the front row.
It was a nail biter from the tip off. The score was tied
after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd periods. With 20
seconds to go in the fourth Alex Pflaum got the personal foul but it was too
little too late. The Hawks team under the coaching expertise of John Farrell
pulled off a down to the second victory 44-40.
Both Hawks team have so much to be proud of. The high
scoring game was a result of sound game mechanics, some incredible 3-pointers
and hustle and determination from every player on the court.
It wasn't just the usual Hawks crew soaring up and down the
court. Both teams saw some new, but hopefully returning, faces donning the blue
and white strip. Meg Lewis, Gabriel Mineard and James Beveridge laced up their
sneakers to take part in this exciting event.
The Hawks look forward to their next event taking place in
May against their rivals North East who they narrowly lost to last year.
