The Atlantic Trojan Girls team took a two-game winning streak on the road Saturday afternoon to the 14th ranked team in Class 2A in the Nodaway Valley Wolverines. The Trojans would get off to a nice quick start as sophomore guard Zoey Kirkhhoff would bury a triple to give the Trojans an early lead, but the Wolverines duo of Lindsey Davis and Izzy Eisbach would be too much for the Trojans to handle all night. Turnovers have been a problem for the Trojans to start the season averaging 31 per game and that continued early on as the Trojans had 15 turnovers in the first half that allowed the Wolverines to push the ball in transition and get open easy layups. Head Coach of the Trojans Dan Vargason said his team played timid to start the game.

The Trojans would respond with a much better second of playing team basketball and taking care of the basketball. Ther Trojans struggled to get going from behind the arc as team shooting just 2-15 on the night but were able to get the inside game going led by junior Paytn Harter who led the Trojans in scoring with 14 points. The Duo of Eisbach and Davis combined for 43 points as both went over the 20-point mark to help lead the Wolverines to a 68-31 victory improving to 4-0 on the season and the Trojans fall to 3-4. Coach Vargason said his team has to learn and take some things away from this game to help them improve.

The Trojans now 3-4 on the early season but will be back in action Tuesday night at home to take Kuemper Catholic in a girls/boy’s double header with the girls tipping off at 6:00pm at Atlantic High School.
