SOUTH WAYNE - The Black Hawk girls basketball team has had one goal all season - reaching the state tournament.
It's two wins down, three to go toward that goal after Black Hawk rolled over Southwestern 75-34 in a Division 4 regional semifinal Thursday.
Paige Butler scored 18 points, Melissa Wellnitz had 13 and Kim Wellnitz scored 10 as Black Hawk (20-2) dominated Southwestern (4-17) from the start.
The Warriors jumped out to a 21-2 lead after the first quarter and led 36-10 at halftime. By the end of the third quarter, Black Hawk led 60-18.
"The first quarter we took it to (Southwestern)," Warriors coach Mike Flanagan said. "After we got out to the big lead, we pulled back and settled into our half-court offense and defense."
Ten Warriors scored, and everyone saw plenty of playing time.
"We got all of our kids in there, and that's good for the experience and to keep them ready down the stretch," Flanagan said.
Black Hawk has one day to prepare for Pecatonica, whom the Warriors swept in the regular season.
"I told the girls that there is no destiny in basketball, no karma. Whoever makes the the most plays comes out on top," Flanagan said.
