SOUTH WAYNE - Black Hawk coach Mike Flanagan wanted his team to feed the ball down low to senior Aleigha Sigafus during a girls basketball clash with Argyle Thursday night.
Message received and mission accomplished. Sigafus scored a game-high 28 points to power Black Hawk to a 64-46 win.
"We didn't feel like their bigs could guard her," Black Hawk coach Mike Flanagan said of Sigafus.
Argyle defeated Black Hawk twice last year. Flanagan was happy to see the Warriors turn the tables Thursday. Black Hawk improves to 5-3, 3-0 Six Rivers East.
"It's nice to get on the other side," he said. "Every conference game is magnified. It's another conference win. We are certainly excited to get another one. We wanted to end 2015 on a good note."
Sigafus had plenty of help. Black Hawk senior Tatum Jackson scored nine points, grabbed eight rebounds and had six assists.
"Tatum Jackson had a phenomenal game," Flanagan said.
Despite battling foul trouble before fouling out, sophomore teammate Hannah Herbst added nine points. Herbst picked up a couple fouls as the Warriors used a press to hound the Orioles.
Argyle junior Kayla Butler- Paulson scored a team-high 14 points.
"We knew we would not stop her (Butler Paulson)," Flanagan said. "She's too good of a player. We wanted to slow her down."
Argyle's Sarah Flannery hit two of her team's three 3-pointers in the first half to keep the Orioles within striking distance at 36-29 at the half.
"They shot the ball well in the first half, and she (Flannery) kept them in it," Flanagan said.
Argyle's Morgan Godfrey added nine points.
Black Hawk will have 17 days between games before it plays a nonconference game at Mineral Point Jan. 4.
"This group is gamers right now," Flanagan said. "We are not unafraid. We will come in and let the chips fall where they may."
Flanagan said Black Hawk will have shorter and harder practices over the break where they may use alumni and junior varsity boys players to stay sharp.
