Atlantic used a combination of full-court pressure and extended zone defense to force Shenandoah into 22 turnovers and grab a 49-37 win in girls hoops on Tuesday. The Trojans jumped out to a 20-11 lead by the end of the first and held that advantage around 10 points most of the rest of the way.

Freshman Paytn Harter helped the Trojans get out in front early with 14 first quarter points. Harter finished with just one more point on the night, but Jada Jensen got rolling in final three periods and scored 20 points to lead all scorers. A number of Jensen’s points came off of steals and layups on the other end. Shenandoah tried to throw different defensive looks to get the ball away from Jensen and Aubrey Guyer stepped up to do a great job bringing the ball up most of the game. Atlantic Coach Dan Vargason was happy with how the team adjusted.

Coach Vargason liked the shared production the team had on the night.

Madison Huddleson added 7 points in the win and the Trojans improved to 7-9 on the season and earned the season sweep over the Fillies.

Shenandoah was led by 8 points from Macey Finlay and they fall to 9-7 on the season.

Next up for Atlantic is a road trip to Council Bluffs to face St. Albert on Friday night. We’ll have coverage of that game on KJAN.
