The Atlantic boys basketball team came up with some clutch plays down the stretch to pick up a conference win over Creston 55-49 on Saturday afternoon. Skyler Handlos blocked a shot and pushed it ahead to Grant Sturm who buried a three from the far corner to put the Trojans up by one 50-49 with 1:15 left. Craig Alan Becker followed with a three on the right wing the next possession to give Atlantic control. Dayton Templeton had a big defensive block the next trip up for the Panthers as the momentum rolled in favor of the Trojans.

Ethan Williams had a monster game in the post with 19 points. He really set the tone for the Trojans in the second half with the first three buckets of the half. He had 14 of his 19 points after the break. Skyler Handlos also finished in double figures with 17. The Trojans go over .500 at 6-5 and will now prep for a home game against Shenandoah on Tuesday.

Creston had three players in double figures led by 15 from Colby Burg. Kaden Briggs added 14 and Kyle Strider finished with 11. The Panthers fall to 7-5 and they will get ready to host Glenwood on Tuesday.

Connor McKee hit a baseline jumper with about 24 seconds left in the game that proved to be the difference in a CAM 54-52 win over Ar-We-Va Friday night. The Rockets turned the ball over on their next possession and Walker Gettler was fouled with 4 seconds left after grabbing the steal. He missed the front end of the bonus and Ar-We-Va got it back and called timeout with 3 seconds left. The Rockets tried to heave a pass to the top of the key but nobody was able to get ahold of the ball and time ran out.

Talking about the game winning shot, McKee said they talked about getting him the ball on the baseline.

McKee led the Cougars with 17 points, Colby Rich had 15, and Cade Ticknor dropped in 12. The Cougars get back to a .500 record at 6-6. McKee said this win should help propel them forward.

Ar-We-Va was led by 16 points from Zach Schimmer and 15 from Will Ragaller. The Rockets fall to 7-7 on the season.
