The Atlantic boys basketball team came up with some clutch plays down the stretch to pick up a conference win over Creston 55-49 on Saturday afternoon. Skyler Handlos blocked a shot and pushed it ahead to Grant Sturm who buried a three from the far corner to put the Trojans up by one 50-49 with 1:15 left. Craig Alan Becker followed with a three on the right wing the next possession to give Atlantic control. Dayton Templeton had a big defensive block the next trip up for the Panthers as the momentum rolled in favor of the Trojans.

Ethan Williams had a monster game in the post with 19 points. He really set the tone for the Trojans in the second half with the first three buckets of the half. He had 14 of his 19 points after the break. Skyler Handlos also finished in double figures with 17. The Trojans go over .500 at 6-5 and will now prep for a home game against Shenandoah on Tuesday.

Creston had three players in double figures led by 15 from Colby Burg. Kaden Briggs added 14 and Kyle Strider finished with 11. The Panthers fall to 7-5 and they will get ready to host Glenwood on Tuesday.
