The Atlantic Trojans Boys hoops team survived a tough road test on Friday night at Creston, pulling off a hard fought 65-60 win. Atlantic scored first in the game but trailed most of the first half thanks to a red hot shooting half from Creston Sophomore Kylan Smallwood. The Panthers led 22-17 after one as Smallwood dropped in 15 points in the first quarter and finished the first half with 21. Atlantic weathered the early burst and got two late second quarter buckets from Garrett Franken to lead 36-33 at the half.
The game would go back and forth in second half with each team holding multiple leads and multiple ties. Atlantic got a couple big buckets from Scott Leonard on nice dishes in the fourth quarter and then came up big at the free throw line. The Trojans made 8-9 from the charity stripe in the final quarter to seal the win, including four big ones from Austin Alexander in the waning moments. Head Coach Alan Jenkins knew Creston could be a big test and was happy to get a tough win.
The Trojans were led by Franken with 21 points and Scott Leonard finished with 20 that included 10 in the first quarter. Atlantic is now 4-0 on the young season with a big Hawkeye Ten showdown with Glenwood looming on Tuesday night. Coach Jenkins said they’ll approach it like any other game.
Creston was led by Kylan Smallwood with 26 points and the Panthers are now 3-2.
The Atlantic Trojans Girls Basketball team failed to get on the board in the first quarter on Friday night at Creston and fell into an early hole that would lead to a sizable loss. Creston led 11-0 at the end of the first quarter and stretched the lead to 21 by the end of the half on their way to a 57-32 win.
The Panther hit all 6 of their 3 point makes in the first half and got a balanced scoring effort in the win. Brielle Baker finished with 10 points and Breanna Wallace and Cammy Rutherford both had 9 to lead Creston. They improve to 3-2 on the season.
