The Atlantic Girls Basketball team saw their season come to an end on Wednesday night at Shenandoah High School as they fell in a Class 3A Regional Semifinal to the Fillies by a final score of 56-39.

It was a very poor shooting night for the Trojans and they found themselves down in an early hole trailing by 10 at both the end of the first quarter and half.  Atlantic rallied for a bit in the third and cut the Fillies lead down to six for a moment before Shenandoah pushed it back out to an 11 point lead at the end of the third.  The Fillies got it done at the free throw line as well, hitting 23 of 28 to help push them to the win.
