(Carroll) #15 Atlantic moves to 8-3 on the season with a 35-24 win over Kuemper, Catholic, in a girls’ basketball game at Kuemper on Friday.
Both teams struggled to score the ball in the first half. Kuemper led 9-6 at the end of the first quarter and 13-12 at the halftime break. Atlantic turned the tables with 3:32 left in the third quarter on Paytn Harter’s short-range shot, and the Trojans never trailed after that.
Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason says no adjustments were made at the half; the team just ramped up their play.
The Trojans were near perfect at the free throw line. Aubrey Guyer went 10-for-10 from the line, and the team finished the game 15/19. Paytn Harter led the team with 15 points, Guyer, 10, Maddie Huddleson, 6, and Jada Jensen added four points.
Elsa Tiefenthaler led the Knights with 8 points, Catherine Mayhall, 6, and Frannie Glynn and Kaci Peter each scored five points.
