The Atlantic girls basketball team struggled taking care of the basketball and were never really in the game against Red Oak in a 56-41 loss on Tuesday night. The Trojans had 24 turnovers on the night and many of those giveaways turned into Tiger buckets on the other end. Red Oak jumped out to a 15-2 lead by the end of the first quarter, 27-11 by half, and built the lead to 49-23 at the end of 3.

Sophie Walker led the Tigers with 17 points. Two other Tigers finished in double figures as Lexi Johnson dropped 13 and Ellie Rengstorf finished with 10. The Tigers improve to 13-2 and will next try to avenge one of those losses on Friday in a meeting with St. Albert.

The Trojans had three players in double figures as well. Both McKenzie Waters and Taylor McCreedy finished with 11 points and Haley Rasmussen finished with 10. The Trojans fall to 6-7 on the season and will next travel to face Des Moines North on Thursday.
