The CAM Cougars got 45 points from the four Sophomores in their starting line-up to lead a win over the AHSTW Lady Vikes 52-43.  Madison Gettler led the way with 17 points as the cougars led most of the game after a slow start.  Paige McAfee had 10 first half points to help the Cougars to an 8 point lead 30-22 at intermission. McAfee finished with 14 and Macy Ticknor had 10.  It was the first game of the year for the Cougars and Coach Joe Wollum was glad to start it with a win.

Madison Gettler played really strong on the block to lead the Cougars to the win and Coach Wollum talked about her improvement.

The Cougars start the season 1-0 and have a Tuesday night trip to Ar-We-Va.  AHSTW falls to 0-2 on the young season and now prepare for a Friday night road trip to Oakland to face Riverside.

The Atlantic Boys Basketball team is preparing to open up the 2016-17 season on Tuesday night at Winterset and Head Coach Alan Jenkins wants that first game to be all his team worries about right now.  The Trojans are coming off a great 18-5 season that ended with a disappointing loss in the District Final to Glenwood.  Coach Jenkins says he hasn’t really talked about that game with his team because it’s behind them now and he likes the progress his team has made over the summer.

Coach Jenkins thinks this team has the ability to play a similar style to last year’s squad but there are plenty of differences in strengths.

Expectations are high again for the Trojans and Coach Jenkins wants this team to focus on what they have to do night in and night out and enjoy the ride.

We’ll have High School Basketball tonight on KJAN. It’s a Girls Varsity contest as the CAM Cougars travel to Avoca to face the AHSTW Lady Vikes. We’ll bring you coverage with Pre-Game at around 7:15pm and Tip-Off set for 7:30pm.  Catch it on air at AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, on the KJAN Mobile app and watch live streaming video on our TV page at kjan.com.
