Bolivar vs South Side

Lights out atmosphere at South Side on Tuesday night, Nov 23, 2021.

Sold out crowd witnessed a State Championship caliber match up between two storied programs.

South Side came into the match-up as the favorite. Fresh off a state runner up appearance and an electrifying victory over a game Ripley team the previous Friday night.

Bolivar had played the night before and some wondered if they were running on tired legs.

SS raced out to a commanding lead after three quarters.

But a sense of urgency, a withering full court press defense by the Tigers along with unending Hawk turnovers cut the SS lead to 2 points late in the game.

But champions find a way to win. 

South Side showed why they should be the #1 ranked program in the state.

The Hawks finished off a very game Tiger team with a seven point win. A Tiger team that is a state tournament contender. A Tiger team that could have beaten anyone in the state on that night...but the Hawks.

As one SS observer put it so eloquently:

Being a perennial state title contender South Side is no longer the hunter.

But no worries for the Hawks. With the most loaded freshman class in the state, two victories already over tournament teams (Bolivar and Madison), a substate atmosphere road win over Ripley, the Hawks are all ready for the dance.

And we've got 2 months to get our steps perfected.

Looks like the Hawk Nation has several years of being at the top on tap.
