Atlantic head coach Derek Hall gave his second five a chance to start the game at St. Albert on Friday night and they delivered great energy to lead the Trojans to a 57-43 win at St. Albert. Coach Hall said he gave guys the chance to earn the start in practice and they grabbed it. Ryder Burk, Caden Andersen, Lane Nelson, Jackson McLaren, and Jayden Proehl led the Trojans to an early lead, including a 12-8 advantage at the end of the first. Coach Hall then began to rotate more guys in and they followed that positive energy well,

The Trojans only led by two at half after the Falcons put in a couple buckets just before the break. Carter Pellett came out red-hot in the second half and scored the first 8 points of the half to help Atlantic go up 9 by the end of the third. Pellett had 11 points in that quarter and finished with 15 points to lead Atlantic. Dayton Templeton added 14 points and Jackson McLaren had a great game with 7 points and some timely rebounds.
