The Atlantic Trojans long road trip to Knoxville proved to be a successful outing on Friday. Atlantic used some big yardage plays to control the lead and ultimately earned a 39-13 win.

Junior receiver Colton Rasmussen had a monster game for the Trojans, hauling in four touchdown catches. He grabbed the first one from 45 yards out by ripping the ball away from a defender right at the goal line. That seemed to give sophomore quarterback Tristan Hayes some confidence and he threw some great passes throughout.

Tanner O’Brien added a big 51-yard rushing score and Dante Hedrington capped off a 9-play drive with a 3 yard touchdown run with 6:04 left to round out the Atlantic scoring.

Atlantic improves to 3-4 overall and 1-2 in Class 3A District 6 play.

Knoxville dropped to 1-6 on the season and 1-3 in District 6 play.
