Trojan LogoThe Atlantic boys basketball team is off to a 1-1 start after a thrilling home win over St. Albert last Friday night. The Trojans will now go on the road twice this week for Hawkeye Ten Conference match-ups. The first trip is to Red Oak tonight and we’ll have coverage on KJAN.

The Tigers are 0-1 after an opening loss to Lewis Central this past Friday. Carter Bruce led the Tigers with 6 points in that opener. The Tigers were just 2-20 last season and lost top scorer Owen VonDielingen to graduation.

Atlantic has been led by senior Chase Mullenix, who is averaging 21 points per game in the two outings. Tyler Moen is averaging 11 points in the early season.

The Tigers and Trojans will square off at the Red Oak Middle School Gym tonight at 7:30pm. The venue is due to ongoing construction at the Red Oak High School. Our pregame coverage on KJAN will start at approximately 7:15pm. You can catch the game on-air, online, on the web app, and live video through our facebook page.
