The Atlantic girls basketball team grabbed a solid win over Nodaway Valley 60-56 on Saturday at Atlantic High School. The Trojans were able to make enough plays in the final quarter to get the win after the game was tied at 45 heading into the fourth.

The Wolverines hit a three to open the fourth quarter but Atlantic went on an 11-0 run to take command. Nodaway Valley didn’t go away though and trimmed it to a one point game at 57-56 with one minute to play. Paytn Harter then came through with a huge bucket off a pick and roll with Jada Jensen and dropped in a layup on the right side. The Trojans would add a couple free throws to cap the win.

Harter had a monster game with 28 points, 20 of those coming in the first half. Jensen added 13 points and Madison Huddleson had 12. The Trojans improved to 6-3 on the season and will host Shenandoah on Tuesday as their last game before the holiday break.

Nodaway Valley was led by 20 points from Lindsey Davis and 18 from Izzy Eisbach as they fall to 6-2 on the season.
