No problem, said Travon Shuler, who scored 23 points to lead Atlantic to a 77-61 win against district rival Santaluces.
Senior forward Leroy Haye and junior center Rich Myrthil complemented Shuler's scoring outburst by scoring 12 points each.
Atlantic's bench also made significant contributions as 11 players scored for the Eagles, who outshot Santaluces from the field 28-18, including five three-point shots.
Tiluscar made his only basket with 6:49 remaining to give Atlantic a 61-45 lead.
It's the sixth consecutive win for Atlantic (12-6) and the third time this season that the Eagles have beaten Santaluces (9-7), which defeated Atlantic in the district finals and the Class 6A regional playoffs last season.
Santaluces trailed only 35-34 at halftime, but Atlantic stretched its lead to 10 points by the end of the third quarter and handed the Chiefs their third consecutive loss.
