Panthers Lose First Conference Game of the Season
On January 17, 2018, our Hartnell Men's Basketball Team went up against De Anza on the road and prevailed confidently with a 78-67 final score. It was textbook play by the Panthers, as they looked to have control on both sides of the ball all night. Four out of five of Hartnell starters scored in double digits, led by (#22) Spencer Conrad's with 24 points. Hartnell was on fire resulting in a 50% shooting for the game and an incredible 42% shooting from beyond the arc. With the win Hartnell remained undefeated in conference at (4- 0), but still had one more road game to go before returning home.
On January 19, our Panthers stayed on the road going up against the Gavilan Rams and falling in a tough 75-86 game. Even with their extreme momentum the Panthers just couldn't get it done on the defense end allowing Gavilan to shoot a 50% field goal percentage. Even with the heartbreak of the loss, the Panthers are in good spirits to know the depth of their roster as (#5) Kishon Rogers recorded 33 points and (#15) Dallin Mortensen scored 15 points off the bench, which led the team. The Panthers record fell to (12-6) for the season and (4-1) in conference. Go Panthers!
