Trojan LogoThe Atlantic boys basketball team opens up the 2022-23 season on Friday with a home game against the Glenwood Rams and the Trojans are anxious to build on a good finish to last season. It will be the second season under head coach Derek Hall and he said it’s been good to get right to work since the kids are familiar with him and the system they put in last year.

The Trojans are coming off an 8-14 campaign in 2021-22 but that included a lot of close games. They did a much better job of closing out those close games at the end of last season, winning five of their last eight games.

Atlantic returns three of their top five scorers from last season, led by junior Colton Rasmussen who led the team with 308 points last year. Carter Pellett was third on the team with 231 points and Jackson McLaren finished with 111 points last year. Coach Hall thinks this group has great potential.

The Trojans open with the home game against Glenwood Friday and then host ADM on Saturday.
