The Shawano Community High School boys basketball team will spend the first day of the WIAA Division 2 state playoffs watching film and practicing, thanks to the No. 1 seed the Hawks drew in their sectional bracket.
Shawano (16-5) will play at 7 p.m. March 6, hosting the winner of the Tuesday feed-in game between Waupaca (6-15) and New London (5-16). The Hawks, who have not faced Waupaca this season, knocked off New London in two Bay Conference encounters this season, winning 62-31 and 65-38.
Should it survive the opener, Shawano would then play again March 7 against the winner of No. 3-seed Antigo (14-6) vs. No. 2-seed Hortonville (8-12).
