The Atlantic Trojan Football team suffered big loss in week 5 to a tough Harlan squad and lost a couple more players to injury along the way.  The road doesn’t get any easier in week 6 as the Trojans travel to 5th ranked Dallas Center-Grimes.

The Mustangs sport a 4-1 record with their only loss coming in week 2 to top ranked Pella.  The Mustang offense is led by Senior Quarterback Austin Kloewer who has thrown 771 yards and 9 Touchdowns on the season and also rolled up 331 yards rushing and 2 more scores.  Dallas Center-Grimes Head Coach Scott Heitland says that Kloewer is the best athlete on the team and is a big part of their offense.  Kloewer may be the star but Coach Heitland also believes the Mustangs have a large number of players that are capable of impacting the game.

Atlantic Head Coach Eric Waldstein says his team knows that they need to slow down Kloewer in order to have a chance to compete.  On the other side of the ball Waldstein is preparing his team for a multitude of defensive looks from the Mustangs and says their versatility will make it difficult from a play calling standpoint.
