The Atlantic Girls’ Basketball team is set to begin the 2025-2026 regular season on Friday with a home contest against Treynor. The Trojans return four starters from last season but do lose Paytn Harter who is the all-time leading scorer in Atlantic Girls’ Basketball program history. Head Coach Daniel Vargason says it’s going to be a little bit of trial and error early to determine the best fit.

Fundamentals were a big emphasis in the summertime workouts.

Seniors Katrina Williams and McKenna Schroeder are the top two returning scorers from last year and will play a pivotal role.

You can catch all the action from Friday night’s Atlantic and Treynor game on both KJAN and KJANTV. Coverage begins at 6:20 P.M. with tipoff at 6:30 P.M.

Drake will claim its third straight Pioneer Football League title and third straight trip to the FCS playoffs with a victory on Saturday against Morehead State. The Bulldogs take a 7-3 overall record and 6-1 PFL record into Senior Day.
