Prep highlights: Hartland boys win on free throw with 8 seconds left
NORTHVILLE — Ryan Bohlen hit a free throw with eight seconds remaining, giving Hartland a 49-48 basketball victory over Northville Tuesday night.
After Northville tied the game, 48-48, on a 3-pointer in the final minute, Hartland called a timeout and ran some clock before Bohlen was fouled. He split two free throws to break the tie.
It was just another nail-biter for the Eagles (8-2), who have won two one-point games by scoring in the final eight seconds and lost twice in overtime.
Hartland is 5-1 in the KLAA West heading into a makeup home game with Salem at 6 p.m. Thursday that will get the Eagles to the midway point of the division schedule. Canton leads the West at 7-0.
“It’s been super close,” Hartland coach Kevin Blouin said. “There’s a lot of parity in the league. I really, truly believe any team could beat any team any given night in our league this season. You look at some of the scores, it can be very close across the board. It makes it fun. You’ve got to be ready every single night. All the teams are really well-coached.”
Carson Conrad had 14 points, Bohlen 12 and Gannon Grundman six for Hartland.
“Carson Conrad led us in scoring with 14 points, but really all season he’s an elite defensive player, just a super unselfish kid,” Blouin said. “He prides himself on the defensive end. He did a great job again tonight as he does every night.”
The Eagles built a seven-point lead in the third quarter after the teams played to a 19-19 deadlock in the first half.
“There were stretches there where I thought we were going to expand the lead, but they just kept coming at us,” Blouin said.
