[January 11, 2017]    The Hartem boys basketball team is back over the .500 mark with their 70-43 win over Havana Tuesday night.

 

Hartem placed four players in double figures while cruising to the victory.

The Stags jumped out to an 18-6 first quarter lead and by the half still maintained a 20-10 lead over the Ducks.

By the end of the third quarter the lead had grown to 53-31 and when it was all said and done the Stags stellar performance was capped off with a 70-43 win in front of the hometown crowd.

A nice way to bounce back after last Friday night’s home loss to Mount Pulaski, according to Head Coach Jason Garber. “Our guys responded well and played extremely hard for 32 minutes,” said the coach. “We took high quality shots and shared the ball extremely well, which led to a lot of guys scoring for us tonight.” The Stags were led by Alec Hayes with 19 points while Alex Vetter contributed 13 points and Antonio Coit-Kirk and Zach Phillips each tossed in 10 points.

Hartem’s record is now 8-7 and the Stags will host Lewistown Friday night for their Homecoming game.
