The Glenwood Girls Basketball team picked up their first win of the season with a 55-44 win over Atlantic on Tuesday night.  The Rams took advantage of an ice cold fourth quarter from the Trojans to pull away for the win. Glenwood led by 6 at the end of the first quarter but Atlantic rallied to tie the game at 26 at halftime.  It was a three point Glenwood lead by the end of the third and then mistakes began to mount for Atlantic in the fourth.  The Trojans had multiple turnovers down the stretch and only managed one made field goal in the fourth as Glenwood outscored them 18 to 10 in the quarter.  Atlantic Head Coach Kelly Juhl said the Trojans just aren’t a cohesive team right now.

A bright spot for the Trojans was their foul shooting as they were 20-25 for the game from the stripe. Atlantic was led in the loss by Catherine Leonard with 12 points while Freshman McKenzie Waters dropped in 10. Atlantic falls to 0-6 and will host Shenandoah on Friday night.

Glenwood was led by Baylee Baker with 14 points and Brooklyn Taylor with 13. The Rams are now 1-5 and will travel to Denison-Schleswig on Friday.
