Atherton High School Vs. Evangel Christian School Photo Gallery

David Bussell, Sports Writer • February 23, 2026

The Atherton boys varsity basketball team played the Evangel Christian School at home on February 19, 2026.

The boys lost a hard fought game to Evangel with a final score of 49-55. They made a deep run in the 3rd quarter bringing the game to a 10 point game, but couldn’t get over the hump. This marks the last home game of the season and the regular season finale. This was also one of the last games Coach Tutor will ever coach for Atherton High School. After 21 years Tutor is retiring from Atherton, and to celebrate his accomplishments many of his former players came out to support him. In the first round of the playoffs Atherton plays against Trinity High School at Waggener High School on February 24, 2026.
