The Atlantic Girls Basketball team improved to 4-0 on Tuesday night with a win on the road at Red Oak. The Trojans jumped out to a 22-4 lead after the first quarter and never looked back. Hot shooting started the charge for Atlantic as Skye Thompson hit 4 first half three pointers and Erin Olsen had 13 first half points to lead the charge.
Altantic head Coach Kelly Juhl was pleased with the balanced scoring he continues to get from his team saying “Any one of those five starters we put out on the floor can lead us in scoring and you bring Stephanie (Sandbothe) off the bench and she could lead us in scoring too. We just have to keep teams guessing.”
The Trojans did get a little sloppy with their play in the second half and Coach Juhl said part of that is they are not experienced in playing with a large lead yet. “We aren’t used to playing with a double digit lead. I think we are still practicing on what we are supposed to do. We want to still be aggressive but we don’t want to just pump up three point shots and let them back in the game. Something that we need to acclimate ourselves to a little better. We still want to run our offense and still be patient. It gives us something to work on as we build for Creston on Friday.”
The Trojans were led on the night by 16 total points from Erin Olsen who did go down a little awkwardly guarding a sideline play toward the end of the game. Skye Thompson had 12pts and Stephanie Sandbothe finished with 9.
The Trojans are on the road to Creston on Friday night for a Hawkeye 10 Conference game.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — Paul Jesperson scored nine of his 19 points in the final two minutes to help Northern Iowa pull away and beat George Mason 73-65 on Tuesday night. Jesperson made three 3-pointers and grabbed 12 rebounds. Wes Washpun had 19 points on 6-of-11 shooting for Northern Iowa (6-2).
Marquise Moore had 15 points and Otis Livingston II 13 for George Mason (4-6). Shevon Thompson added eight points with 10 rebounds. Jesperson made a 3 to stretch the Panthers’ lead to 53-47 with eight minutes left. Thompson made a layup and Livingston a 3-pointer to pull George Mason to 53-52 with five minutes to play. Matt Bohannon answered with a 3, and Washpun made a layup to make it 58-52.
Jesperson made a 3-pointer and six free throws, and the Panthers led 67-54 with a minute left. Livingston’s first shot in the opening minute gave the Patriots their only lead.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Big 12 football teams will now be required to play at least one non-conference game against a team from one of the other Power Five leagues.
The Big 12 announced Tuesday that teams will have to annually play against a team from the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC, or Notre Dame.
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby says the move will strengthen the resumes for all 10 of the Big 12 teams. Schedule strength is a key component in College Football Playoff selections.
No. 4 Oklahoma is in the four-team playoff this season. But Baylor and TCU were both left out of the first playoff last year when both went 11-1 and shared the Big 12 title.
The new requirement doesn’t affect existing non-conference game contracts, including next season’s games.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have acquired infielder Jedd Gyorko and cash from the San Diego Padres for outfielder Jon Jay.
The 27-year-old Gyorko hit .247 with 16 homers and 57 RBIs this year, spending time at second base, shortstop and first base. He has a .236 average in three big league seasons with 49 homers and 171 RBIs.
Under a deal Gyorko signed in April 2014, he is guaranteed $4 million next season, $6 million in 2017, $9 million in 2018 and $13 million in 2019. The contract includes a $13 million club option for 2020 with a $1 million buyout.
Jay, 30, helped the Cardinals win the 2011 World Series title but hit .210 last season, his lowest average in six big league seasons and down from .303 in 2014. He has a .287 career average.
Jay has a $6,225,000 salary next season, then can become a free agent.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Jarrod Uthoff scored a career-high 27 points and Iowa beat Western Illinois 90-56 on Monday for its fourth consecutive win. Uthoff grabbed nine rebounds and was 10 of 16 from the floor, helping the Hawkeyes (7-2) shoot 50 percent (33 of 66) from the field. Dom Uhl scored 15 points and Adam Woodbury added 10.
Iowa got on top of the Leathernecks early on and never looked back, controlling the pace of play and asserting themselves physically all night. Garrett Covington had 12 points to lead Western Illinois (6-2), which had no answer for Iowa’s fast-paced offense.
The win moves Iowa to a perfect 5-0 on its home court this season. It came on the back of an aggressive night from Iowa’s shooters, who knocked down 10 of 23 from beyond the arc. The Hawkeyes also outrebounded Western Illinois 45-35 and had 10 steals.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Georges Niang scored a career-high 31 points and matched his career high with 12 rebounds as No. 4 Iowa State beat Buffalo 84-63 on Monday night. Niang’s first double-double of the season was crucial for the Cyclones (7-0), who let the Bulls get within 47-46 early in the second half.
Iowa State responded with an 11-0 run and a late closing push to remain one of the nation’s last unbeaten teams. Jarryn Skeete led Buffalo (4-5) with 16 points. The loss capped a brutal three-day stretch for the Bulls, who lost 82-59 at No. 8 Duke on Saturday.
