| Owls Best Orioles in Overtime |
"I told them that I wouldn't have done anything different," Orioles coach Ben Hoffmann said. "Defensively, we played well. We held them in the 40s, but we just needed to make a couple more shots."
"I wasn't panicked," Sabin said of the final play. "I knew we'd pull it out and the defense pulled through."
"We wanted to stay in front and switch on a ball screen," Schieve said. "The key was the pressure by Jacob Olson when they were bringing the ball up the floor. They had to rush a shot and we had a guy right there. Those last seven seconds, we executed well."
The game was defensive-minded for 40 minutes, and Slinger held a slim 17-15 lead at halftime.
"I'll take that any day, no matter how we shoot," Hoffmann said of the 17-point first half.
Hartford had a scoring drought of almost nine minutes, but Slinger never pulled away.
"It's one thing to score 15 and have 15 turnovers, but we took care of the ball," Hoffmann said. "That's a credit to Slinger. They mixed things up up. We just needed to put the ball in the hole."
It was a zone look defensively for Slinger, that led to the patience of Hartford and the lack of scoring in the first half.
"I thought our 3-2 zone was effective and did a nice job keeping them out of the middle," Schieve said.
Sabin finished with a game-high 21 points, including 11 in the second half. He finished 13-of-17 on free throws and completed the double-double with 15 rebounds.
Evans added 15 points.
Much led the Orioles with 16 points.
Jake Lynch finished with 10.
"What I told them before the game was the exact same thing after; this is why you go out for the basketball team," Hoffmann said. "There was great energy. They had a great following and we had a great following. It was exciting."
Hartford host Slinger at
7:15 p.m. Feb. 17.

| Girls Basketball Get Win Over West Bend West |
A stark difference showed as Hartford Union and West Bend West walked off the court Saturday night in West Bend. On one side, Hartford's Katelyn Matt, Emily Perschbacher and Maddy Sieczkowski, smiled and laughed as they clumped together after the Orioles' 54-49 victory. "Coming off a tough loss (Friday) night against Beaver Dam (96-45), and then rebounding today, the way they played, I was very proud of my team," HUHS coach Chris Shelsta said. "They did it as a team tonight." The Spartans faced a 10-point deficit (47-37) with a little more than three minutes to play, but spent the next two thinning the deficit. Sophomore guard Lauren Downs hit two foul shots for a 47-39 score, then later Buettner sank a 3-pointer for a 47-42 Hartford edge with 1:25remaining. However, just as it happened most of the night, or the weekend, West couldn't string stops down the stretch. The Orioles scored four in the next 35 seconds on Morgan Lentz's free throws and a Perschbacher basket, and added three foul shots down the stretch to help offset the Spartans' seven points in the final 30 seconds. Lentz and Perschbacher paved the way for Hartford, with each scoring double figures. Lentz netted 22 and Perschbacher added 11. There was a stretch between the first and second half the duo combined for the Orioles' 15 points. They scored five in the final 1:39 of the first for a 26-25 halftime deficit, then opened the second with consecutive jumpers (Lentz first, Perschbacher second) for a 6-0 run and a 29-26 lead. "We wanted to win," Lentz said. "We wanted to attack them, and we weren't going to let off the gas at any point. Yeah, both teams were tired, both had a game (Friday) and quick turnaround ... but both of us wanted the win. Hartford just wanted it more."
