Atlantic girls lock down St. Albert

Sports

January 27th, 2023 by admin

The Atlantic girls basketball team picked up their second win over Class 1A 6th ranked St. Albert in a two week span on Friday night. The Trojans had an 11-point first half lead melt away early in the fourth quarter but they responded. Atlantic clamped St. Albert down defensively and closed the game on a 15-0 run to win 48-35. Trojan head coach Dan Vargason was thrilled with the overall effort.

It was a really solid team effort for Atlantic with three players finishing in double figures and another just two points shy. Paytn Harter sparked the Trojans in the first quarter with 6 early points. Jada Jensen had 8 of her 12 points in the second quarter and the Trojans led 27-17 at the break. Aubrey Guyer then had 6 of her 8 points in the second half and the Trojans went 8-11 at the foul line in the second half to help secure the win.

Harter and Madison Huddleson both had 11 points and the Trojans improved to 14-4 on the season. Next up is a trip to Red Oak on Tuesday.

St. Albert was led by 12 points from Missy Evezic. The Saintes drop to 15-3 and will next up take on cross town foe CB Abraham Lincoln on Saturday afternoon.

Atlantic boys run away from St. Albert in second half

Sports

January 27th, 2023 by admin

The Atlantic boys basketball team led all but a brief moment of the first quarter and pulled away in the second half of a 68-49 win over St. Albert on Friday night. The Trojans led by eight at halftime and then outscored the Falcons 21-12 in the third quarter to blow the game open. Atlantic head coach Derek Hall said the defensive effort helped spark that burst in the second half.

The Trojans held the lead around 20 for most of the rest of the game. Caden Andersen had a great game and scored 9 of his 12 points in that big third quarter.

Colton Rasmussen led the Trojans with 20 points, while Nolan Waters and Jackson McLaren each added 14 points. Waters knocked down three triples in the second half and knocked down a total of four in the game.

The Trojans improved to 5-11 on the season and will be back at it on Saturday for a 6:00 p.m. game against Perry.

St. Albert was led by 17 points from Noah Narmi and Colin Lillie added 15. The Falcons fall to 3-14 on the season and will travel to Underwood on Monday for their next contest.

Human foosball is among the highlights of the U of Okoboji Winter Games

News, Sports

January 27th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – The institution is fictional but the enthusiasm is genuine as the University of Okoboji Winter Games are underway this weekend in northwest Iowa. Kiley Zankowski, with the Iowa Great Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, says thousands of people are expected through Sunday who will be competing in everything from ping-pong and pickleball to axe throwing and a human foosball tournament.

“We kick off the day Saturday with all sorts of different sporting events, like the broomball tournament, the softball tournament and so much more,” Zankowski says. “We look forward to those other signature events, like the Polar Plunge. It’ll be especially polar this year but it’s always a really fun one to watch.” In the plunge, about 150 people make donations to charity in order to jump into the frigid West Lake Okoboji, where heavy machinery has removed a section of ice. Other events include a chili cookoff, chocolate tasting, a cribbage tournament and a dog show. There’s also a kite festival.

“We’re really excited about all of the kite fliers that are coming from all across the nation and even a couple international,” Zankowski says. “We’re hoping for around 120 kites in the sky at a time, which will be bigger than ever before, and then really excited about the addition of a Night Kite show on Saturday.” The forecast indicates the possibility for moderate-to-heavy snowfall in the region this weekend, which she says adds to the fun.

“We’ve kind of got a record of snow this year already, just a ton of snow for snowmobilers, ATVs, UTVs and people to enjoy. It really adds to the Winter Games element and the different activities that we have going on,” Zankowski says. “We wish the temperatures were a little warmer but there’s so much to do inside and outside all weekend long, so we’re just excited for the games to be here.” The Winter Games are expected to have an economic impact of three-million dollars for the region.
