The Atlantic Trojans girls basketball team had their season come to an end on Saturday night with a loss to Shenandoah 61-41. The Trojans started the game strong but a 20-0 run to end the first half was the difference maker for the Fillies, and they pulled away to win the Class 3A Region 8 Quarterfinal game.

The Trojans jumped out to a 12-10 lead by the end of the first quarter due to some strong defensive pressure. The Fillies settled down in the second quarter and started to find the open spots against the Atlantic press, and they got some open looks. Roxy Denton and Logan Hughes helped the Shenandoah offense come alive in the second quarter. Denton had 8 of her 20 points in that second quarter run, while Hughes poured in 9 of her 29 that period. Shenandoah led 31-15 at halftime and 43-27 after three quarters.

The Fillies improve to 13-9 and will move on to face Red Oak in the Regional Semifinals next Wednesday night in Atlantic at 7:00pm. The Tigers advanced with a decisive 77-21 win over Clarinda.

Atlantic has their season come to a close with a 4-18 record in their first year under Head Coach Dan Vargason. Coach Vargason said after the game he was proud of the fight and improvement his team showed.

Despite the poor record, Coach Vargason said his first season at the helm was a positive experience and he thinks they are headed in the right direction.

Atlantic says goodbye to seniors Baylee Newell, Alyssa Ginther, and Heidi Williams. Newell finishes with over 600 points for her career.
