The Red Oak girls basketball team won a sloppy game over the Atlantic Trojans on Tuesday night in Red Oak 68-38.

Red Oak finished with 24 turnovers on the night. Sierra Athen was one of the few bright spots in the first half as she dropped in 22 points to lead Red Oak to a 35-14 halftime lead.

The Tigers would push their lead out to 33 by the end of the third quarter. Athen finished with 28 points to lead all scorers on the night. Red Oak improved to 1-1 on the season.

Atlantic was led by 11 points from Baylee Newell. The Trojans fall to 1-3 and will return home to host Creston on Friday night. That game will be part of a varsity doubleheader and we’ll have it on KJAN. Pregame before the girls game will begin at 5:50pm with tip-off at 6:00pm.
