The Atlantic Trojans basketball team found themselves in a completive game and lost a lead in the third quarter to lose 77-60 at home against the ACGC Chargers. Out of the gate the Trojans came shooting well led by Colton Rasmussen who had 24 points on the night. Rasmussen ignited a Trojans offense that led 13-9 by the end of the first. Going into the second, Atlantic continually applied pressure while switching into zone defenses to confuse ACGC and that created a 27-22 Trojan lead at halftime.
Going into the third quarter the Trojans lost all steam and consistently turned the ball over. Noah Kading also helped the Chargers set the tone in the third quarter making four baskets alone. When the third quarter ended, ACGC was up 50-42. In the fourth quarter not much changed for both teams besides the offensive output from Gavin McLaren. McLaren scored 7 baskets, including a three pointer from the corner. In the end it wouldn’t be enough as ACGC would beat Atlantic 77-60. The win starts the Charger’s season off 1-0.
The Chargers were led by Noah Kading with 26 points and Anthony Solarzano with 15. Atlantic’s top scores was Colton Rasmussen with 24 and Gavin McLaren scoring 17.
In his first game as Head Coach for the Trojans, Coach Dalton Franken explained how the performance and turnovers in the second half cost Atlantic the win.
The Trojans now sit at 0-1 and head to Glenwood on Friday to take on the Rams. The opening tip is set for 6:00 p.m.
The Atlantic Girls Basketball team fell short at home, losing on Tuesday night against ACGC. The Chargers handled pressure well early on in the game and got a big first half from Reagan Carney to lead 23-15 at half. The Trojan defense had less success in the second half and the Chargers won it 63-44.
The Chargers opened up the second half with a 5-0 run and a full court press against Atlantic. ACGC led by 10 at the end of the third quarter and relied on their 3 point game in the second half with six to solidify the lead. That left the Trojans feeling pressured and continually turning the ball over to ACGC.
Reagan Carney led the Chargers with 17 points and Shay Lemke finished with 12 as the Chargers start the year 1-0. The Trojans were led by Paytn Harter with 24 points. Harter’s 24 points caught the attention and praise of Head Coach Dan Vargason.
However, even with stellar play from Harter. The Trojans have a lot to clean up before their next game on Friday.
Atlantic falls to 1-2 on the season with the loss and head to Glenwood on Friday with tip off beginning at 7:30 p.m.
On Tuesday night Riverside boys’ basketball did something it hadn’t done since 2014 and that is defeat the AHSTW Vikings. The Bulldogs had lost 18 consecutive games vs this AHSTW Vikings team, but this Bulldogs team seems a little different than prior years. The Bulldogs have a good mix of senior upper classmen like leading scorer returner for the Bulldogs in Grady Jeppesen who averaged 21 points a game as a junior was looking to get off to a fast start in senior campaign and that is exactly what he did. Riverside took control of the basketball game from the opening tip as Jeppesen scored just 5 seconds into the quarter in route to 16 first quarter points by the senior and the Bulldogs led 22-12. The second quarter was back and forth and would be the only quarter of that night that Riverside lost. They would lead 37-28 at the halftime break.
The Bulldogs got huge contributions all the way around and especially from their three freshmen in Cole Jeppesen, Owen Fenner, and Peyton Amdor. It is always hard to predict what a freshman might do in their first varsity game and season but these three answered the challenge. Head Coach of the Bulldogs Nicholas Kroon was very happy with how his youngsters preformed in their varsity debuts.
The second half saw most of what the first half did and that was the Grady Jeppesen show. The senior leader for the Bulldogs posted a game high 37 points and also tallied in 7 rebounds in a all-around great game. Knowing he will face tough defenses all season long Coach Kroon was happy with how his star was able to play physical and create space without fouling and finishing at the rim through contact where he converted three and one’s on the night.
Coach Kroon knows how big of a win this is vs a tough Vikings team on the road and the momentum that can come from snapping this 18-game losing streak to the Vikings. The Riverside Bulldogs are back in action Friday night for their home opener against the IKM-Manning Wolves for a 7:15pm tip-off.
The Riverside girls’ basketball team took a tough loss on the road Tuesday night against a tough AHSTW Lady Vikes team. The Bulldogs came in 1-0 after defeating Essex last week 50-13. The start looked very similar for the Bulldogs as they jumped to a fast 4-0 lead after two quick layups by Madison Kelley and Elly Henderson. The quick start made AHSTW girls head coach Jason McCall calls a timeout and sub a whole new five girls on to the floor just 1 minute and 34 seconds into the opening quarter. And it was the exact move that the Lady Vikes needed to wake up and bring some energy and life to the basketball floor. The Lady Vikes then went on a 16-1 run where they got sophomore guard Halle Goodman to hit three triples in the first half to spark the Lady Vikes. The Bulldogs had no answer for the Lady Vikes second unit and then AHSTW starters like Delaney Goshorn got going offensively and the Lady Vikes never looked back from there. Head Coach of Riverside Girls Mitch Rice said the complete 5 in and 5 out sub that AHSTW made was the difference in the game.
The Bulldogs would make some runs and get the score close but could never get over the hump. Their best chance came late in the first half they cut the lead to 24-21 but in the final minute the Lady Vikes got a layup by Goshorn followed by a steal and pullup three ball by Graycen Partlow to push the lead right back to 8 and keep the Lady Vikes in control. In the fourth quarter Riverside began rushing some possessions offensively trying to get back into the game and settled for some low percentage shots. The Bulldogs scored just two points in the fourth quarter both coming from the free throw line. The Bulldogs shot 0-9 in the quarter to suffer their first loss of the season.
Head Coach Mitch Rice knows this is a game he and his young team can learn from and get better moving forward.
