The Atlantic girls basketball team put together a solid outing in their opener and came up two points shy of a rated Creston team 67-65. Atlantic trailed by 9 at the end of the third but rallied back to momentarily take a lead late in the game. Creston got a big late transition bucket from Sam Dunphy to give them the edge. A last second drive and close range shot from Haley Rasmussen was blocked and the Panthers grabbed the rebound as time ran out.

Creston was led by 25 points from Dunphy and 22 from Kelsey Fields. The Panther improved to 2-1 on the young season and will next host Grand View Christian on the 7th.

Haley Rasmussen dropped in 29 to lead the Trojans and Jada Jensen finished with 10. The Trojans will host 3A #1 Glenwood on Friday. We’ll have that game on KJAN and KJANTV.
