    Mike Petersen, Sports Editor & Staff Writer|Dec 24, 2020

    Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn earned two boys' basketball wins on consecutive nights last week against Twin Lakes Conference teams. Hosting Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire on Dec. 14, the Hawks needed their best offensive production of the season to claim an 80-65 win. While the bulk of GT/RA's scoring came from sophomores Kory Hough and Max Hough with 27 points each, several players contributed to the Hawks' balanced offense. Scoring 14 points each were Ben Haack, Sam Heyn and Kayl Jacobsma....

    Mike Petersen, Sports Editor & Staff Writer|Dec 24, 2020

    Remsen St. Mary's was not in a giving mood during their visit to Hartley on Dec. 18, as they swept Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn in a War Eagle Conference basketball doubleheader. In the girls' game, turnovers hampered a good night offensively for H-M-S during a 75-53 loss. The maroon Hawks turned the ball over 36 times, 26 of which were the result of steals by St. Mary's. H-M-S overcame a nine-point deficit to pull to within 22-20 early in the second quarter but St. Mary's scored 14 straight points...

    Mike Petersen, Sports Editor & Staff Writer|Dec 24, 2020

    If the offense can do a better job of complementing the defense, the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn girls' basketball team would be in position to win some close games. Case in point: the Hawks scored what was then a season-high 45 points against Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire on Dec. 14, but that wasn't enough. The Titans overcame the Hawks' fourth-quarter lead to escape with a 47-45 win in Hartley. Hawk coach Lester Tessum said the girls are playing better defensively, but now they have to...
