It was a game that was all Blackhawk early and they took an 13-11 lead after one. Then the game got interesting going back and fourth, but Blackhawk held a slim lead going into the half 29-28. then Highlands started to pull away going up by as much as 11, but Blackhawk didn’t go down without fighting. They were down 42-38 after three. Then Highlands went on a run to close the game and won to advance to the 4A WPIAL Championship game to take on Belle Vernon.

Multiple people dead in Milwaukee shooting at Molson Coors
By CARRIE ANTLFINGER and GRETCHEN EHLKE Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee’s mayor says multiple people have been killed in a shooting on the Molson Coors Brewing Co. campus. Mayor Tom Barrett says the dead include the shooter. He did not give an exact number of people killed in Wednesday’s shooting. It occurred at a sprawling complex that includes a mix of corporate offices and brewing facilities. At least 600 people work there. It’s widely known in the Milwaukee area as “Miller Valley,” a reference to the Miller Brewing Co. that is now part of Molson Coors.
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Bernie Sanders is going after Joe Biden, warning that a “conventional campaign” like the former vice president’s won’t defeat Donald Trump. Speaking at a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, Sanders called out his opponent by name, knocking Biden for voting for “terrible trade policies like NAFTA” and the Iraq War. Sanders and Biden are vying for an edge in South Carolina. While Biden remains in the lead in surveys of the state and said during Tuesday night’s debate he plans to win the primary, Sanders has been gaining ground after a series of wins across the three previous primary states. In North Charleston on Wednesday, Sanders told the crowd he will win South Carolina.
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Joe Biden has won the endorsement of Rep. Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking black member of Congress and the kingmaker of South Carolina’s Democratic political orbit. The House majority whip’s backing could provide a much-needed boost for the Democratic presidential candidate before South Carolina’s primary on Saturday. Clyburn says he can think of no one “more committed to the fundamental principles that make this country what it is” than his “good friend” Biden. Biden appeared with Clyburn on Wednesday in North Charleston and thanked him. The former vice president notes Clyburn’s role in securing the Democratic votes for the 2010 health insurance overhaul that ranks as President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement.
UNDATED (AP) — The new virus is taking a broader toll on airline travel. Most airlines have already stopped flying to China, and now Delta Air Lines is sharply cutting back on flights between the U.S. and Seoul, South Korea, because of the outbreak. Delta said Wednesday it will suspend flights between Minneapolis and Seoul beginning this weekend and lasting until at least April 30. The airline will also reduce the number of flights from Korea to Atlanta, Detroit and Seattle. Delta, United and American have already suspended all flights to and from mainland China and Hong Kong for several more weeks.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is pushing back against criticism that his administration isn’t doing enough to meet the coronavirus threat. Trump plans to hold a news conference late Wednesday to talk about what the U.S. is doing to prepare for the virus. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers are calling for much more money than the $2.5 billion the White House has requested. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has asked for $8.5 billion. Trump’s 6 p.m. news conference will be at the White House with experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
