Iowa State set to add Tre King to the rotation

Sports

December 14th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

When Iowa State returns to action on Sunday against Western Michigan the Cyclones will gain the services of senior forward Tre King. The native of Lexington, Kentucky transferred from Georgetown to Iowa State last fall without playing a game for the Hoyas. He began his college career at Eastern Kentucky.

That’s coach T.J. Otzelberger. King becomes eligible at the end of the first semester and will get plying time against Western Michigan.

Iowa State is 8-2.

Too many miscues cost Atlantic boys against Kuemper Catholic

Sports

December 13th, 2022 by admin

The Atlantic boys basketball team suffered through some mental lapses, turnovers, and missed close-range shots in a 77-62 loss to Kuemper Catholic on Tuesday night. The Trojans held tight early with the game tied at 16 at the end of the first, but Kuemper built a 34-23 lead by half. The Knights seem to answer any Atlantic charge the rest of the way.

The Trojans struggled taking good care of the ball at times and head coach Derek Hall said their statisticians recorded 25 turnovers and that made the difference.

Jayden Proehl led the Trojans with 17 points and Colton Rasmussen added 15. Atlantic drops to 1-4 on the season and will travel to Lewis Central on Friday, a game we’ll have on KJAN.

Kuemper Catholic was led by 18 points from Dawson Gifford and the Knights improved to 4-1. They will face Kingsley-Pierson in their next game on Friday.

Atlantic girls finish strong in win over Kuemper Catholic

Sports

December 13th, 2022 by admin

Aubrey Guyer banked in a three at the end of the third quarter and that helped spark the Atlantic girls basketball team to a strong finish and 49-42 win over Kuemper Catholic on Tuesday night.

The Trojans led by as many as 8 in the second quarter but that lead dwindled away with the Knights getting their first lead of the game at 32-31 late in the third quarter. Atlantic used a 7-0 run early in the fourth to get the separation they needed for the win. Atlantic head coach Dan Vargason was proud of the way the team finished.

Jada Jensen led Atlantic with 18 points and Coach Vargason said her aggressiveness was a big difference in the game.

Atlantic has put together a 4-game win streak and improved to 5-2 on the season. Next up for the Trojans is a trip to Lewis Central on Friday. We’ll have that game on KJAN.
