The Lewis Central boys hoops team made a few more plays down the stretch and grabbed a 51-47 win over Atlantic on Friday night at the Atlantic High School. Nile Petersen’s terrific night for Atlantic kept the Trojans right in it til the end. Petersen hit two threes near the end of the first quarter to make it a 1 point game, and then hit a couple big shots late in the 2nd quarter to get the Trojans within two at half 22-20. He followed that up with two more threes in the third quarter, and the game was tied at 34 heading to the final period. Petersen finished with 24 points on the night.
Skyler Handlos was finally able to drop his first two shots of night to start the fourth quarter, but that lead wouldn’t hold up. Lewis Central chipped away until a Logan Jones layup gave them a 49-47 lead in the final two minutes. Atlantic got a look at a three for Bradley Dennis but it was off the mark, and Easton Dermody was fouled during the rebound attempt. He stepped up to the line and knocked down two free throws to seal the Titan victory.
Skyler Handlos finished with 7 points and Grant Sturm had 6 for the Trojans. They fall to 2-4 and will host Winterset on Saturday afternoon for one more game before the holiday break.
Lewis Central was led by 17 points from Logan Jones and 12 from Cole Drummond. The Titans are now 4-1 and off for the break.
The Atlantic girls basketball team started the game strong but couldn’t handle the amped up defensive pressure from Lewis Central in the second half of a 57-40 loss on Friday night. Atlantic used their own strong defense to jump out to an early 8-2 lead and carried a five point lead into the second quarter. Lewis Central grabbed a three point edge by halftime and then outscored the Trojans 19-7 in the third quarter to take control of the game. The Titans came out with an intensified full court press in the second half and use various defensive looks to fluster the Trojans. Atlantic finished with 28 turnovers on the night.
Megan Witte was a big factor in the game as well for LC. She scored 14 of her game high 28 points in that decisive third quarter. Isabella Smith had 9 points and Delaney Esterling dropped in 8 for the Titans. They improved to 4-2 going into the holiday break.
Atlantic was led by 14 points from Haley Rasmussen and 11 from McKenzie Waters. The Trojans fall to 4-5 to end the first portion of the season.

(Radio Iowa/Brownfield) — A northwest Iowa farmer who was at the White House earlier this week says he’s disappointed President Trump has failed to uphold the renewable fuels deal he agreed to in September. Kelly Nieuwenhuis, a farmer from Primghar, said “It is pretty upsetting to American farmers and rural America.”
Nieuwenhuis and four other Iowans met with Larry Kudlow, the president’s top economic advisor, on Tuesday — and Kudlow provided a briefing on the E-P-A’s final decision on the ethanol production mandate. “We knew right away that this wasn’t the deal that was promised,” Nieuwenhuis says. Nieuwenhuis was at the White House with representatives from the Iowa Corn Growers and the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association. Nieuwenhuis says the group made it clear to Kudlow the E-P-A’s 2020 biofuels blending requirements are “woefully inadequate.”
“He didn’t understand. He couldn’t figure out why we wouldn’t be happy with this deal,” Niewenhaus says, “and we just basically told — or I did — that, you know, for us to put the word trust and the EPA in the same sentence was not possible.” Nieuwenhuis says Senator Grassley set up the meeting with the president’s economic advisor, so the Iowans could make a last-minute pitch for changing the E-P-A’s plan for ethanol and biodiesel.
“We were firm with him, yet respectful,” Nieuwenhuis says. “…But you know this wasn’t the certainy of the deal that we had with the deal that they made with Senators Ernst, Grassley and Governor Reynolds and the ethanol industry.” Nieuwenhuis says it’s frustrating the president didn’t keep his promise. “Again we feel the oil industry took charge of the situation and pretty much forced the hand of our leaders and made then lean their way with the ruling,” Nieuwenhuis says.
Nieuwenhuis is chairman of the board of Siouxland Energy. The ethanol plant in Sioux Center shut down for a few weeks, but has been running this fall at about half its normal capacity.
