Aubrey Guyer banked in a three at the end of the third quarter and that helped spark the Atlantic girls basketball team to a strong finish and 49-42 win over Kuemper Catholic on Tuesday night.

The Trojans led by as many as 8 in the second quarter but that lead dwindled away with the Knights getting their first lead of the game at 32-31 late in the third quarter. Atlantic used a 7-0 run early in the fourth to get the separation they needed for the win. Atlantic head coach Dan Vargason was proud of the way the team finished.

Jada Jensen led Atlantic with 18 points and Coach Vargason said her aggressiveness was a big difference in the game.

Atlantic has put together a 4-game win streak and improved to 5-2 on the season. Next up for the Trojans is a trip to Lewis Central on Friday. We’ll have that game on KJAN.
