The Hawks will now turn their attention to the Section V Class C Championships at the Webster Aquatic Center Feb. 4 and 7. 

“Sectionals is going to be a battle,” said Head Coach Dan Paganin. “There’s really good teams from Livonia, Byron-Bergen and Le Roy that we’re going to have to contend with but these kids have been putting in the work and I’m excited to see what they can do in Webster.”
