The Atlantic girls basketball team clamped down defensively against Red Oak in the second quarter and turned a 2 point lead after the first into a 13 point lead by half. The Trojans then raced away to a 77-40 victory on Tuesday night at the Atlantic High School.

Haley Rasmussen had a terrific night with 36 points and was a big part of the defensive pressure that flustered the Tigers. Jada Jensen was also great defensively and finished with 18 points as she teamed up with Rasmussen on the break much of the night. Atlantic forced the Tigers into 17 turnovers and many of those directly translated to layups for the Trojans.

Atlantic improved to 7-11 on the season with the win and will now prep for a trip to Denison on Friday night.

Red Oak was led by 14 points from Chloe DeVries and the Tigers fell to 3-13 on the season.
