The Atlantic Girls Basketball team had their largest margin of victory all year against Red Oak winning 63-13 at home on Tuesday afternoon.  The Tigers suffered from poor shooting on the night and couldn’t keep pace with an Atlantic team that only allowed one point in the entire first quarter leading 23-1 by the end of the first.  The Trojans took advantage of a scoring drought for the Tigers in the second quarter and grabbed a 37-point halftime lead.  Atlantic kept their foot on the gas petal in the second half to lead by 46 to start the fourth quarter and finished the night with a 50-point win.

Atlantic was led by Paytn Harter with 23 points and Maddie Richter with 6.  Red Oak got 5 points from Emily Sebeniecher in the loss. Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason thought his team’s focus on defense showed throughout the game.

The Trojans improve to 5-9 and will be back at home Thursday, January 18th against Harlan with tipoff set for 6:00 p.m. Red Oak now sits at 2-10 and travel to Shenandoah on Thursday.
