The Atlantic boys basketball team picked up an impressive win over Class 2A 7th ranked Treynor on Friday night 63-60 in Atlantic. The Trojans started quick out of the gate and led by as many as 19 in the third quarter before surviving a wild finish to secure the win.

The Trojans led by 10 at the end of the first quarter and pushed the lead to 15 by the end of the half at 29-14. That 14 points for Treynor was their lowest first half offensive output of the season. Atlantic kept the Cardinals at bay in the third quarter with three triples and led 41-33 heading into the final period. The Trojans held a 10 point lead with under a minute to play.

Then things got a bit wild. The Cardinals made some tough transition buckets to inch closer. Jack Tiarks completed a three point play with :26 left to make it a 5 point game. Tyler Moen was fouled immediately on the ensuing inbound and made one of two free throws to make it a six point game. A tough contested three by Jack Stogdill went down to get the Cards within 3 with 12 seconds left. Atlantic then narrowly avoided a five second count with a last second timeout from Head Coach Jeff Ebling. Chase Mullenix was then fouled on the inbound with 10 seconds left. He made one of two and Atlantic led 61-57. Tim Zimmerman then splashed down a three with 2.7 seconds left to get the Cardinals within 1. The Cardinals then fouled Mullenix again with 1.5 seconds left. Mullenix hit one of two to make it a 62-60 game. The Cardinals tried a long pass up the left sideline and Logan Reilly skied to grab the ball but came down with it on the sideline. So Treynor was set to get the ball back with .9 of a second left. As the officials were called over to straighten out an issue at the scorers table, the Treynor coaching staff tried to usher their kids over for a chat near the sideline. Tyler Moen hustled over next to the same area on the floor and Treynor coaches and players pushed Moen away from their gathering. This got a rise from the Atlantic fans, coaches, and players. After discussion about that situation, Treynor’s bench was assessed a technical foul. So Atlantic sent Chase Mullenix to the line where he made one of two again to make it 63-60. The Trojans then got possession from the technical and were able to lob it in to Skyler Handlos to run out the clock.

Atlantic Head Coach Jeff Ebling was excited about the effort from his team.

Atlantic was led by 16 points from Tyler Moen and 15 from Chase Mullenix. The Trojans improve to 9-10 on the season and will next host Harlan on Monday night. That game will be played at the Atlantic Middle School and we’ll have it on KJAN.

The Cardinals were led by 18 from Jack Stogdill and 16 from Jon Schwarte. They finish the regular season with an 18-3 record and will next host a Class 2A District 14 Semifinal on February 14th against the winner of a Clarinda/Shenandoah Quarterfinal game.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Iowa athletic director Gary Barta is joining the College Football Playoff selection committee, replacing Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. CFP executive director Bill Hancock on Friday announced Barta would begin a three-year term this spring. Smith is stepping down after two years on the committee.

Barta is in his 12th year at Iowa. He is on the NCAA Division I Council and involved in the NCAA Ad Hoc Committee on Sports Wagering. Barta played football at North Dakota State, where he was a quarterback on teams that won Division II national championships in 1983, ’85 and ’86.

Smith said he is leaving the committee so he can focus on helping Ryan Day transition into his job as the Buckeyes’ new head coach.

The Atlantic Trojans boys basketball team will get a strong test tonight at home as they take on the Treynor Cardinals. Atlantic will step outside of the Hawkeye Ten Conference for the 4th time this season to face the Class 2A #7 rated Cardinals.

Atlantic comes in to the game on a three game winning streak and will take on a Treynor squad that has only dropped two games all season. Atlantic picked up wins over Creston on Monday and Clarinda on Tuesday this week. Chase Mullenix is leading the team with 18 points per contest and Tyler Moen has been averaging 14.

The Trojans will need some of their recent strong defensive play to slow down a Treynor offense that has 4 players averaging in double figures. Jack Stogdill has dropped in 12 per game to lead Treynor and he’s been helped by Jerry Jorgensen (11.4), Jack Tiarks (13.8), and Jon Schwarte (11.5).

Chris Parks will have the call on KJAN with pregame starting at about 7:20pm. Catch the game on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, on the web app, and live video on our facebook page.

Glenwood faces Creston at 8:00pm in the second game that night. The other match-ups on the top side of the bracket will be a doubleheader at Carroll.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon waited patiently for his chances Thursday.
When they came, the junior guard delivered a seemingly bigger blow with each successive shot.
The junior guard matched his season-high by scoring 25 points including the last 11 to help the No. 20 Iowa hold on for a crucial 77-72 victory at Indiana.

While the Hawkeyes (18-5, 7-5 Big Ten) didn’t play their best ball, the combination of Tyler Cook early and Bohannon late was all Iowa needed Thursday. Cook had 13 points, five rebounds and three assists in the first half, staking Iowa to a 46-36 halftime lead. He finished with 21 points and seven rebounds as Luka Garza spent most of the game in foul trouble.

Bohannon’s closing flurry was even better. Twice in the final 91 seconds, he beat the shot clock with demoralizing, long 3-pointers and then he finished it off by making five of six free throws in the 27 seconds to prevent Indiana from even getting a chance to tie the score.

The result: Iowa won its second straight, ended a three-game losing streak in the series and won at Assembly Hall for the first time since 2015. The Hawkeyes demonstrated just how good they can be in the first half. And they showed how tough they can play by fending off the Hoosiers’ late charge. It was good enough to pick up a key road win.

Iowa improved to 3-3 on the road and 6-2 in games decided by single digits. The Hawks head home Sunday, to face Northwestern.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Megan Gustafson poured in 41 points and grabbed 14 rebounds Thursday night to lead No. 16 Iowa to an 86-71 win over No. 23 Michigan State. Kathleen Doyle added 18 points with four 3-pointers, eight assists and seven rebounds for the Hawkeyes (18-5, 9-3 Big Ten Conference).

Gustafson was 17 of 24 from the field and made all seven of her free throws as Iowa avenged an 84-70 loss at Michigan State on Dec. 30 when she became the Hawkeyes’ all-time leading scorer. The nation’s leading scorer (26.7 ppg) pushed her career total to 2,429 points.

Freshman Nia Clouden, who scored a career-high 27 in the first meeting, led the Spartans (16-6, 6-5), who had won three straight, with 20 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. Gustafson scored Iowa’s first eight points and had 11 in the first quarter to stake the Hawkeyes, who are 12-0 at home, to a 23-15 lead.

It was 50-38 at halftime and when Clouden’s 3-point play pulled MSU within nine, Gustafson scored the last eight in a 10-0 run that put Iowa’s lead in double figures for good.
