The Atlantic Trojans boys basketball team is ready for the chance to compete at the state tournament in Des Moines. The Trojans have a quarterfinal date with the top ranked Waverly-Shell Rock Go-Hawks on Tuesday afternoon at 2:00pm. We’ll begin our pregame coverage for you on KJAN at 12:30pm Tuesday.
The 19-5 Trojans face a tough challenge in a 22-1 Go-Hawks team but Head Coach Alan Jenkins said the Trojans are excited to get out on the floor at state.
The Go-Hawks like to play a quick transition game on offense when they can and will also mostly stick to man to man defense. Coach Jenkins talked about the weapons that Waverly-Shell Rock brings to the table.
Waverly-Shell Rock Head Coach Nate Steege says the Trojans bring a well-balanced team into the game on Tuesday and talked about what concerns him about Atlantic.
The game will feature two of the premiere scorers in the state with Atlantic’s Garrett Franken at 24 points per game and Waverly-Shell Rock’s Austin Phyfe averaging 19 per outing. Franken is committed to play college ball at the University of North Dakota and Phyfe is signed to play at the University of Northern Iowa. Both coaches expect that battle within the game to be a good one.
Tip-off is scheduled for 2:00pm at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on KJAN with pregame coverage starting at 12:30pm.
