Denison-Schleswig got 20 points from their star guard Alex Mohr on their way to a 81-54 rout of the Atlantic Trojans on Tuesday night.

The game really got away from the Trojans in the third quarter as the Monarchs outscored them 23-13 in the quarter. Transition defense was a tough spot for Atlantic all night long and Coach Kelly Juhl said “We were just downright bad in that category tonight. I think we know what we are supposed to be doing but the execution just wasn’t there and we let them get behind us too much.”

Sarah Heilesen dropped in 14 points for Denison and Jazlyn Beeck had a very strong performance with 15 points and a number of rebounds.

Ally Anderson was the leading scorer for Atlantic with 16 points. and Baylee Newell and McKenzie Waters both had 10.
