The Heartland Basketball Teams have been hard at work in their 2018-19 seasons. Their opening games were November 30th against Wilber-Clatonia. The girls had a great win over the Wolverines putting up more than double the points as them. For the boys, it was a harder fight, and they lost their first game. A highlight of each game was leading scorers Kate Bergen earning 19 points for the girls and freshman Trajan Arbuck also having 19 points for the boys.
Last weekend, the teams faced Exeter-Milligan on Friday and Hampton on Saturday. Paired with a tough Timberwolf team, the girls lost 27-40. The boys also had a loss in their second game, but it was by a mere three points. Back at it the next night, the teams had huge wins over Hampton with the girls score tallying 66-36 and the boys 52-12.
On Tuesday, December 11, the girls also had a game against Shelby-Rising City. It was a lower scoring game, but the girls won 33-16. After this game, the girls currently hold a 3-1 season record. The boys record stands at 1-2.
Tomorrow, December 14, the teams will play away against Thayer Central.
