Mason County Central provided Hart its biggest test of the season so far Tuesday night, but the Pirates were still able to come away with a 59-41 win.
Hart improved to 4-0 and 2-0 in West Michigan Conference Rivers action.
“The Hart Pirates were able to rely on their defense, unselfish play, and timely offense to create a gap in the scoreboard,” Hart coach Nick Bronsema said.
Caleb Ackley continued his remarkably efficient play of late, needing only 10 field goal attempts to score 18 points. He also pulled in 11 rebounds, securing his third double-double of the season.
Jagger Lenon scored 17 points and Kolton Rockwell chipped in 15, with six rebounds and five steals. Bryce VanderKodde played with high energy off the bench, grabbing seven boards and swiping four steals.
