After a dismal third quarter the Atlantic girls basketball team rallied in the fourth to pick up a 46-43 win over Grand View Christian on Thursday night in Ankeny. The Trojans trailed by three at half and only managed 2 points in the third quarter to fall behind by 10 at 41-31. The Trojans chipped away at the lead, with Jada Jensen leading the way with 10 points in the period. Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason thought the Trojans’ press and zone paid off down the stretch.

Jensen finished the night with 20 points and Aubrey Guyer added 12. The Trojans had a chance to fully ice the game with free throws in the final minute but couldn’t get that one extra point to make it a two possession game. It didn’t matter as the Thunder didn’t have enough time to get a shot off after Paytn Harter’s freebie miss with 2 seconds left. Coach Vargason was really proud of the fight the team showed, overcoming a couple tough stretches of the game.

Atlantic improves to 6-10 on the season. Next up for the Trojans is a home tilt with Shenandoah next Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. We’ll have that game on KJAN.
