After a rough two games to start the week, the Atlantic boys basketball team needed a good outing to lift them up. They got that on Friday night with a 69-49 road win over St. Albert. Atlantic forced the Falcons in to settling for a large number of outside shots and did a great job rebounding misses to limit chances. The Trojans did a terrific job of sharing the basketball on offense and made a number of great late passes to turn a good look into a great look.

Skyler Handlos dropped in 20 points to lead the scoring for the Trojans with two others getting into double figures. Dayton Templeton finished with 14 and Nile Petersen added 13.

The Trojans improved to 8-11 on the season and have two regular season games left before the playoffs start on the 24th. The Trojans found out on Friday that their first round substate game will be played against the Harlan Cyclones at Glenwood in a 6:30 p.m. game.

St. Albert falls to 7-14 on the season and are finished with their regular season schedule. They open up their Class 1A playoff run next Thursday at home against Riverside.

Hear from Atlantic Head Coach Jeff Ebling tomorrow morning on our Saturday Morning Coaches Show at 8:30 a.m.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (The Des Moines Register) — The sponsor of a halftime promotion at University of Northern Iowa basketball games has reversed course in the face of growing criticism and will now pay the full $10,000 to a contestant who competed earlier this week. A public outcry had been swelling since the Wednesday night contest.

Northern Iowa student Dalton Hinsch made a layup, a free throw and two long shots as part of the timed contest. Hinsch made the last shot from half-court just as an announcer counted down the last seconds, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Officials said Hinsch hadn’t gotten the last shot off in time.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association released the playoff brackets for boys Class 3A and 4A basketball on Friday. Substate Quarterfinals are set to be played on Monday, February 24th. Semifinals will be on Friday, February 28th. Finals played on Tuesday, March 3rd.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a three-year deal with Missouri Western State University to host their training camp. It keeps the Super Bowl champions as one of the last NFL teams to take their late-summer workouts on the road. Chiefs President Mark Donovan says the contract includes an option to extend the partnership two more years and includes several provisions requiring updates to the Division II school. Missouri Western will develop new seating at the practice fields and renovate Scanlon Hall that houses Chiefs players, coaches and staff.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana got 27 points from Devonte Green and 17 from Trayce Jackson-Davis to help the Hoosiers snap a four-game losing streak with an 89-77 victory over No. 21 Iowa. Indiana made a season-high 11 3-pointers, with Green accounting for seven. Iowa has lost three of five, despite getting 38 points from Luka Garza.

But the Hawkeyes never recovered from a 12-0 first-half run by Indiana that left Iowa with a 31-16 deficit. Indiana extended its lead to as many as 20 points and didn’t let Iowa get within single digits in the second half.
