The Atlantic Trojans Girl’s Basketball team looked impressive with a 60-27 road victory over the Red Oak Tigers on Tuesday night. Paytn Harter had 20 and Makenna Schroeder had 13 to help the Trojans get the win.

Atlantic started slow but got the last bucket of the first quarter to take a 18-16 lead. A couple of threes by Schroeder and another by junior Maddie Richter helped the Trojans push the lead to 16 by halftime 35-19. In the second half the Trojans stayed focused on feeding Katrina Williams the ball inside the paint scoring eight on the night, and it helped the Trojans blow the game open to a 48-21 lead.  In the fourth quarter Red Oak continued to miss shots and only scored four in the entire eight minutes.

Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason said it was nice to see everyone respond after starting the game slow.

The Trojans will be back home on Friday night to face the Denison-Schleswig Lady Monarchs. Coach Vargason will have his teams focus on executing their game plan well.

We’ll have coverage on KJANTV with pregame at 5:50pm and Tip-off at 6:00pm.
