The West Delaware varsity boys basketball season came to an end with a 65-38 loss to Crestwood in a Class 3A Sub-state final contest, Monday night, March 6 in Fayette.
The Hawks had advanced to the Sub-state final by posting victories over a pair of WaMaC Conference opponents in District Tournament action.
They had defeated Western Dubuque 51-46 and Independence 50-40 to keep their tournament hopes alive.
Crestwood proved to be too quick for the Hawks in Fayette. Combine that quickness with a 10 for 25 effort from behind the three-point arc and you have a team that is going to be hard for a lot of teams to contend with.
A pair of seniors led the Hawks in scoring against the Cadets, Brett Manternach was the only Hawk to score in double figures with 16 points. Guard Eric Crawford tallied nine.

The Hawks Alex Boom and Eric Crawford scored just before the end of the third quarter to cut the Cadet lead to 23-points, 51-28.
