The Atlantic Trojans (1-3, 0-2) return home to the Trojan Bowl Friday night to host the Harlan Cyclones (3-1, 0-1) in a Class 3A District 8 match-up. Atlantic will try to improve on a week 4 loss at ADM that was competitive early but snowballed into a 55-14 loss.  The injury bug has not been kind to Atlantic and Head Coach Eric Waldstein says young players are working hard to fill voids in the lineup.

Atlantic has already lost 2 players to season ending injuries with two other starters questionable for the game this week but Coach Waldstein says morale has stayed good on the team.

Harlan comes in after a tough loss to Dallas Center-Grimes in which a late punt return touchdown was the deciding factor.

You can listen to a lengthy interview with Coach Waldstein at 4:45pm Friday on Trojan Preview on KJAN. Kickoff at the Trojan Bowl is set for 7:00pm.
