The HCHS Cyclones girls basketball team faced a tough loss against the Atlantic Trojans in their regular season finale, falling 63-41 at Wells Fargo Arena. The team struggled to gain momentum, trailing by 11 points at halftime. Coach Zach Klaassen noted that the Cyclones appeared nervous from the start, leading to missed opportunities on both ends of the court.
Despite an early 3-pointer by senior Molly Swensen, the Cyclones couldn’t keep pace with the Trojans, who maintained a steady lead throughout the game. Key performances came from junior Zoey Kirchhoff and senior Paytn Harter, who helped the Trojans take control early on.
Though the Cyclones made attempts to close the gap in the second half, including baskets from sophomores Kenzley Bruck and Brinley Van Baale, they ultimately ended the regular season on a disappointing note. Coach Klaassen remains optimistic, emphasizing the need for readiness as they look ahead to future practices and games.
