The Atlantic Girls Basketball team fell short at home, losing on Tuesday night against ACGC.  The Chargers handled pressure well early on in the game and got a big first half from Reagan Carney to lead 23-15 at half. The Trojan defense had less success in the second half and the Chargers won it 63-44.

The Chargers opened up the second half with a 5-0 run and a full court press against Atlantic. ACGC led by 10 at the end of the third quarter and relied on their 3 point game in the second half with six to solidify the lead. That left the Trojans feeling pressured and continually turning the ball over to ACGC.

Reagan Carney led the Chargers with 17 points and Shay Lemke finished with 12 as the Chargers start the year 1-0.  The Trojans were led by Paytn Harter with 24 points. Harter’s 24 points caught the attention and praise of Head Coach Dan Vargason.

However, even with stellar play from Harter. The Trojans have a lot to clean up before their next game on Friday.

Atlantic falls to 1-2 on the season with the loss and head to Glenwood on Friday with tip off beginning at 7:30 p.m.
