(Atlantic) Atlantic hosts Red Oak in a girl’s Hawkeye Ten Conference basketball game on Tuesday. It will be a special day in the gym with the elementary students in attendance. The tip-off is at 11:30 a.m.
Atlantic Head Basketball Coach Vargason gives a shout-out to the booster club for helping with the event and Landus for sponsoring the popcorn.
The Trojans enter the contest with a 2-2 conference record. The Tigers are 0-4. Coach Vargason says Red Oak is led by Olivia Boswell, who shoots lights out from behind the three-point line.
Vargason expects the Tigers to come out in a 2-3 zone. He says they must set the tone early and rebound the ball.
Paytn Harter leads the Trojans in scoring, averaging 15.4 points per game and 11.4 rebounds per contest. Zoey Kirchhoff is developing into a solid three-point shooter. The Sophomore is 13/36 from behind the arc. Makenna Schroeder is also starting to score the ball, coming off a 10-point scoring night over Kuemper on January 5.
