February 23rd, 2024 by Seth Tiegs

The Atlantic Trojans basketball team ended their season last Monday night in a 70-49 loss in the first round of the Class 3A-Substate 8. The Trojans did finish the season with a 7-16 overall record and went 4-6 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

The Trojans will be losing six seniors to graduation this year: Tyrell Williams, Colton Rassmussen, Thomas Leonard, Gavin McLaren, Nolan Waters and Brock Henderson. The Trojans sure have a good group of freshman and sophomores and juniors that are eager to get varsity minutes next season.

Senior Colton Rasmussen is in third place in Class 3A with 615 points on the season and averaged 27 points per game. Senior Gavin McLAren scored 214 points and averages 12 points per game this season.

Trojan coach Dalton Franken wanted to wish his seniors the best of the right after the season ended.

Coach Franken gave some advice to all of the underclassman for what they can do over the summer.

Coach appreciates all the community of Atlantic and the Trojan fan base for coming out to watch the team play this season.

Coach Franken also said they will be putting basketball camps coming up this summer with dates not yet to be determined.
