The Harlan Cyclones started the game on a 14-0 run and led 18-3 at the end of the first quarter on their way to a 71-64 win over Atlantic on Friday night. The Trojans rallied back valiantly in the second half but couldn’t quite overcome the deficit. The Trojans trailed by 17 at halftime but got all the way back within 3 in the final minutes before Harlan shut the door. Bradley Curren had a couple of big driving baskets in the last two minutes to help seal the Cyclone win. Atlantic head coach Derek Hall said the slow start was just a bit too much to overcome.

As disappointing as the start to the game was it was impressive that Atlantic got as close as they did. Coach Hall said that no quit attitude has become a part of the program.

Harlan was led by 20 points from Bradley Curren and 16 from Teagon Kasperbauer. The Cyclones improved to 7-3 on the season and will host Kuemper Catholic next Tuesday for their next contest.

Atlantic got 22 points from Nolan Waters and 20 points from Colton Rasmussen. The Trojans drop to 4-8 on the season and will now get ready to host Red Oak on Tuesday.

The Atlantic girls basketball team went cold from the field in the second half and Harlan got collective contributions to give the Cyclones a 57-46 win on Friday night in Harlan.

Atlantic led by three at the end of the first and built the lead to 11 mid-way through the second quarter. Harlan battled back at the end of the half to make it a one-point Atlantic lead at the break. Atlantic then went a bit cold from the field and Harlan had 5 different players hit a three in the third quarter to pull ahead. Atlantic head coach Dan Vargason said the cold spell hurt their chances but he was proud of the fight.

The Cyclones also did a phenomenal job of icing the game at the foul line, going 8-8 in the fourth quarter. Coach Vargason said you just have to give credit to an opponent that made the shots they needed.

Harlan was led by 14 points from Hannah Sonderman and 13 from Aubrey Schweiso. The Cyclones improved to 9-3 on the season and will next up host Kuemper Catholic on Tuesday.

Atlantic was led by 20 points from Paytn Harter and 9 from Maddie Richter. The Trojans drop to 9-4 on the season and will now prep to host Red Oak on Tuesday.
