The Boys Basketball team played two games last week, both against tough conference opponents. While the Hawks were not able to come away with any victories, they showed adversity against tough opponents, and held composure in the face of some poor sportsmanship. While the Hawks' record might not be as glowing as last season, they are earning respect from their opponents in other ways. Multiple teams have complimented the Hawks on their toughness and about how they battle to the end of each game. They stay locked in for the full 36 minutes, and don't show disrespect to their opponents or officials. The Hawks are representing Humboldt well through their actions, which is a great compliment for the culture of the program. The Hawks will be back in action this Wednesday 1/19/22 on the road at Harding High School. The game will begin at 7:00 PM.

Coach Brad met back up with his Football athletes last week for a virtual meet and greet with the Vikings' tight end, Adam Thielen. Thielen is a Minnesota native who has made several generous donations to our football program and school community here at Humboldt. Brad and the players were able to thank Thielen directly, and participate in a Q&A with him as well. This is a very rare and cool experience for the Hawks, and Coach Brad Novacheck, Matt Osborne and Otto Kraus (Harding Football coach and athletic director) deserve a lot of credit for helping our students have this cool opportunity.
