Blackhawks start strong in Warkin’s Classic Tournament Last Monday, the Stockton Blackhawks began their play in the Warkin’s Classic Tournament. Stockton came into their first game of the tournament with a 7-4 overall record as they were set to face off with the Orion Chargers. The Blackhawks got off to a hot start offensively as they quickly put up fifteen points to go into the second quarter, up 15-10. Their defense would lock down the Chargers for the rest of the game, as they allowed a total of thirteen points through the final three quarters. Thanks to a strong, nineteen point performance from Tiana Timpe, and another eleven points from Elizabeth Eisfeller, the Blackhawks were able to walk away with a 4923 victory. For their second game of the day, the lady Blackhawks were squared up to battle the Mercer County Golden Eagles. Game two was quite different from the first. The Golden Eagles were able to keep things close for Stockton up until the very end. The teams went into the second quarter tied at 13-13, but Stockton was able to outscore them before the half as they held a 27-22 lead at the break. The Blackhawks came out of halftime with momentum and outscored the Golden Eagles once again, as they established a 42-31 lead going into the final quarter. The Golden Eagles were able to slightly cut into the Blackhawk lead, but it was not enough to come back as Stockton went on to win 51-40.
Tiana Timpe was even more impressive in game two. She totaled twenty-three points to go along with two steals. Timpe, who recently received a college offer from Central Michigan University. A big offer from the successful, Chippewas’ basketball program. The Chippewas are currently 7-3 on their season. Playing out of Mt. Pleasant, Central Michigan plays in the Mid-American Conference in division one competition. Timpe is well known as a dangerous shooter, and she proved that once again as she hit five three-pointers in their win against the Golden Eagles. Congratulations on the offer to the Junior, who will surely receive many more before she finishes her high school career. The two wins pushed the Blackhawk’s record to 9-4 on the season.

Work is due Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. in the west wing of the Ferguson Fine Arts Center, Highland Community College, 2998 W. Pearl City Rd., Freeport, Ill. This exhibition is designed to recognize local artists in the district, and to celebrate their visual contribution to the community.

Artists may submit up to three separate works of art with a nonrefundable fee of $3 per work. The entry form is available at highland.edu/ finearts/highland-gallery/. The form and fee are due upon delivery of work. “The dedicated artists from our district should be commended for their ability to encourage and sup-
port the arts; especially in a time where Fine Arts are increasingly challenged to defend their existence. Indeed, this exhibit symbolizes the importance and role of the arts as a symbol for the direction of any given community,” said Robert Apolloni, Highland Gallery director. The exhibit will display in the Highland Gallery from Feb. 13 -
Mar. 4 with an opening reception and awards presentation from 4:30 - 6 p.m. on Feb. 13. The event is free and open to the public. For more information about this exhibit or the Highland Gallery, contact Bill Buehler at 815-5993490 or bill.buehler@highland.edu or go to highland.edu/highland-gallery.
