Hartsburg-Emden won the Regional Championship game for IHSA Scholastic Bowl at Prairie City- Bushnell on Monday.

This is the first regional title in school history and also, the highest award that will be given in Illinois this year, due to the IHSA cancelling the rest of the winter post-season.

The team also won the Tomahawk Conference title this year, for only the second time in school history.

Hartem played Cuba in the first round of the regional. The final score was 600-50. Leading scorers were Evan Rohlfs with 10 toss-ups, Spencer Davis (captain) with 8, and Denver Merz with 2. In the second round, Hartem beat Havana, 310-250. Davis had 9 toss-ups and Rohlfs had 3.
