The basketball season started up from KMCH Sports last night with West Delaware Boys Basketball, as the Hawks hosted Western Dubuque. It was an entertaining back and forth affair that featured 7 lead changes, 3 ties and lasted one hour and eleven minutes. The Hawks led by 4 at the halftime break but the Bobcats responded with a 21-point 3rd quarter and then hung on for a 54-52 victory. Logan Plumley and Kogan Kluesner led the Bobcats with 14 points. The Hawks were paced by Keaton Emerson and Paul Beswick with 13 and 11 respectively.
