Almost two years ago to the day, the communities of Mound - Westonka were anticipating the newest rivalry at the Thayer Sports Center. The stage was set for the White Hawks to clash with the titans from Warroad High.

The White Hawks didn't let the capacity crowd down as they knocked off the most successful Section 8A team of the decade, the Warriors, 3-1.

The rematch was set for tonight.

Warroad extended the series winning streak to two by blanking Mound-Westonka, 5-0, once again in front of a full house.

Warrior's senior, Brett Hebel, notched a four-point performance (2g, 2a) while also picking up the game winner. Goaltender Shawn Storey stopped all 10 White Hawks shots to earn the shut-out. Junior Nick Stoskopf also garnered two goals while North Dakota bound, Brock Nelson, scored a shorthanded goal for the Warriors.
