OAKESDALE - Oakesdale Nighthawks had a busy senior night, recognizing four basketball players and one wrestler.

Will Lanius, Logan Brown, Daxton Chappell, and Jaxon Eads were the basketball players, and Tristen Burd was recognized for wrestling.

All four of the basketball seniors have been vital to the success of the Nighthawks basketball team during the 2023-24 season. With just one regular season game left to play, Oakesdale are in a great spot for a district playoff berth, should they take down the Colton Wildcats in their last game, which will be played Friday, Feb. 2, in Colton.
