[November 30, 2016]  The Hartsburg-Emden Basketball Team traveled to Springfield Lutheran Tuesday night and in a game that went back and forth all night, it was the mighty Stags coming away with the 60-59 win.

Springfield Lutheran held an 18-17 advantage after the first quarter but then it was Hartem’s turn to lead 30-24 at the half.

Springfield scored 26 points in the third quarter and that allowed the Crusaders to have a 50-42 lead over the Stags going into the final eight minutes of play.

The difference maker in this game being the Stags charging back and outscoring the Crusaders 18-9 in the fourth quarter.

Hartem picks up their second win of the season by a score of 60-59.

It was Alec Hayes leading the way for the Stags with 24 points. Brady Wolpert scored 12 points and Antonio Coit-Kirk dropped in 10 points for Hartem.

Following the game, Hartem Head Coach Jason Garber said, "It is never easy to win on the road no matter which league you play in. I thought our guys showed a lot of composure and grit in a close game down the stretch. We have had two close games already this season and I think the experience in those two games helped us in the final two minutes of this game. We will have another tough game on the road Saturday as we travel to Warrensburg-Latham.”
