Atlantic used a combination of full-court pressure and extended zone defense to force Shenandoah into 22 turnovers and grab a 49-37 win in girls hoops on Tuesday. The Trojans jumped out to a 20-11 lead by the end of the first and held that advantage around 10 points most of the rest of the way.
Freshman Paytn Harter helped the Trojans get out in front early with 14 first quarter points. Harter finished with just one more point on the night, but Jada Jensen got rolling in final three periods and scored 20 points to lead all scorers. A number of Jensen’s points came off of steals and layups on the other end. Shenandoah tried to throw different defensive looks to get the ball away from Jensen and Aubrey Guyer stepped up to do a great job bringing the ball up most of the game. Atlantic Coach Dan Vargason was happy with how the team adjusted.
Coach Vargason liked the shared production the team had on the night.
Madison Huddleson added 7 points in the win and the Trojans improved to 7-9 on the season and earned the season sweep over the Fillies.
Shenandoah was led by 8 points from Macey Finlay and they fall to 9-7 on the season.
Next up for Atlantic is a road trip to Council Bluffs to face St. Albert on Friday night. We’ll have coverage of that game on KJAN.

(Des Moines, Iowa/KCCI) – A total stranger walked into the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at MercyOne medical center in Des Moines and bottle-fed a baby that wasn’t his. KCCI reports Des Moines Police are trying to identify the man seen on surveillance footage while he was in the hospital. The station says according to police, the man slipped by a nurse, bottle-fed a baby in the NICU and then left the hospital. Des Moines police say the unidentified man was trespassing, but what they don’t know is why the man did this.
Thomas Slater, a lawyer in West Des Moines who deals with medical malpractice cases says the hospital has a duty of care to the baby in the NICU. He said an unidentified person claiming to be a parent should not have been allowed in. Slater adds that the baby being fed and other babies in the NICU were put in danger when the man entered the unit.
MercyOne sent KCCI a statement that read:
“MercyOne takes the safety and security of our patients and families very seriously. The incident that took place last month is extremely troubling. We are actively cooperating with the Des Moines Police Department on this ongoing investigation and have conducted an internal investigation into the matter, which prompted several changes to our policies and protocols to expand our security and prevent this from occurring in the future.
Des Moines Police say they want to find the man and figure out what his motive was. Authorities say MercyOne is cooperating with their investigation.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowans are spotting vast numbers of bald eagles this winter, but time’s running out to admire the big birds. More than 400 eagles were counted recently along one mile of the Iowa River in Johnson County, but D-N-R wildlife biologist Stephanie Shepherd says nesting season is almost here, and that means it’ll be much harder to find eagles. “They can begin as early as February and sort of the peak of them initiating nesting is in March, so they’re actually going to be breaking up here pretty soon, probably in the next three weeks or so to start getting back to their nest sites and initiating that nesting cycle,” Shepherd says. “I think we’re probably going to see numbers dwindling a little bit over the next few weeks.” 
While many of the eagles we’re seeing are migrating here from states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, Shepherd says Iowa has many hundreds of resident eagles. “We probably have at least 500 active nests in the state but of course they’re not as gathered together or congregated around open water sites,” Shepherd says. “There’s still a lot of eagles here, it’s just they’re spread out across the countryside, hanging out in their nest and being busy and not congregated around open water.”
The Mississippi River has traditionally hosted Iowa’s highest eagle numbers — both resident and wintering — but in recent years, the Iowa and Des Moines rivers have hosted even more.
