The Atlantic boys basketball team lost a thriller on Friday night at Creston 60-57. The Trojans got down early in the ballgame but were able to fight back to a seven-point margin by the end of the third quarter. They then got the game all the way back to a one-point game late.

Kylan Smallwood went to the free-throw line for a one-and-one opportunity and knocked down both free throws to push the Creston lead back to three with just 14 seconds left in the game. Atlantic brought the ball up and Chase Mullenix had an opportunity from way outside for a 3 that would have tied it but it hit back-iron and Creston escaped with the win.

Kylan Smallwood led all scorers with a monster night of 38 points. Atlantic got 18 points from Tyler Moen and 17 points from Chase Mullenix, who had 15 of those in the second half.

The Trojans fall to 2-2 on the season with the loss and they will next to be home to host Glenwood coming up on Tuesday night as part of another double header. For Creston they improved to 2-2 and they will take on Harlan in their next outing on Tuesday.
