The Giltner boys basketball team had a great start to the season, but shooting woes have killed the momentum the team started with. 
Those offensive struggles continued Dec. 9 as Nebraska Lutheran visited Giltner and left with a 49-27 win. 
The first quarter featured some back and forth play along with some physical blows inside. 
Nebraska Lutheran started the night on an 8-3 run while Cooper Reeson kept the Hornet offense afloat, down 8-5. 
Following a Nebraska Lutheran three, Phillip Kreutz gave the Hornets a bit of momentum at the horn with a made bucket, down 11-7.
