The Atlantic (17-19) volleyball team is excited for their postseason opportunity tonight as they open up in 3A Region 1 at the Red Oak Tigers (27-9). Red Oak has swept the two meetings this season and Atlantic will be looking for their first win over the Tigers since 2010. Atlantic Head Coach Michelle Blake said the Trojans have the mindset of why not now.

The Trojans have seen improvement the past few seasons and have their best record this year since 2010. Coach Blake said they just need to work on consistency and the ability to adapt.

The Trojans leaders on the season are Jada Jensen with 321 assists, Abby Smith with 204 kills, and Chloe Mullenix with 55 blocks. Red Oak has been led by Merced Ramirez with 422 assists, Lexi Johnson with 349 kills, and Liz Carbaugh with 74 blocks.

We’ll have coverage of that regional quarterfinal match tonight on KJAN. Chris Parks will have the call from Red Oak High School with pregame at 6:45 p.m. and first serve at 7:00 p.m.
