Hartle’s previous career-high was 33 points, set in a Dec. 3 loss of this season to Saegertown in the Sheffield Tip-Off Tournament.
“It was a long bus ride up here, so we had to make sure the guys were ready to go,” Hartle said. “We started off strong and I feel like we did that to the best of our ability.”
See Hartle’s full interview here:
North Clarion trailed 14-12 after the first quarter after Connor Wingard’s buzzer-beating layup for Union City.
The second quarter was all North Clarion (2-4), however.
Leading 17-16, Hartle drilled a three that started a 16-2 run that was only broken by a Bryce Drayer layup for Union City (2-3) with five seconds left in the half.
Hartle scored 11 points in the run, part of a 21-point first half for the senior that saw North Clarion go up 33-20 at halftime.
“I kind of knew my first few shots I was feeling it,” Hartle said. “While I’m feeling it I try to get the other guys involved, work off of them and it ended up being a good night for everybody.”
Union City went on a 6-0 run to start the second half to cut the lead to single digits, but Union City followed with a 7-0 run of its own and the lead never dipped below double digits the rest of the way.
Included in Hartle’s effort was a 12-of-15 performance from the free throw line. Andy Castner scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half for the Wolves, while Drake Irwin added nine points.
