Atlantic’s Cyclones travel to Harlan tonight for a Hawkeye Ten boys’ game. The teams met Jan. 16 when Atlantic won 80-60, shooting 58% and hitting 11 of 18 three-pointers.

Atlantic limited Harlan’s leading scorer, Dallas McDowell, in that meeting, while Kobe Klaasen scored 21. Atlantic coach Dalton Franken says defending McDowell and cutting turnovers will be key tonight.

Harlan enters off a 64-62 overtime win over Denison‑Schleswig and has three regular-season games left to build momentum. Gavin McLaren leads the Trojans at about 13.3 points per game, and Kale Jensen averaged roughly 13.1 and poured in 28 on Friday.

The game will be broadcast on 95.7 FM and streamed on westerniowatoday.com and YouTube. Girls’ pregame starts at 5:45 p.m., tip at 6:00 p.m., with the boys to follow.
