The Atlantic Trojans face a tough test in their homecoming game tonight. The Greene County Rams come in undefeated at 6-0 and are currently ranked as the 6th best team in Class 2A in the latest Radio Iowa Poll. Coming off a 28-7 loss to also top-ten ranked OABCIG last week, the Trojans will try to find some consistency.

Atlantic started well in the loss to the Falcons last week, forcing a fumble of the opening kickoff and putting a touchdown on the board right away to lead the game early. That lead was taken back by halftime due to the great play of OA-BCIG quarterback Cooper DeJean. The Trojans face another solid quarterback this week. Brent Riley has thrown for over 1,300 yards and leads a balanced attack.

That’s Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott. Colby Kafer has rushed for 996 yards and 10 touchdowns for the Rams, and Carter Morton rounds out that three-headed monster at wideout with 25 cathces for 610 yards and 8 scores. Greene County has also had an effective defense so far this season, only one opponent has scored more than 22 points on the Rams. Coach McDermott said a low scoring affair is quite alright for the Trojans but they will need to win the field position battle.

The Homecoming festivities begin this afternoon at the high school with Coronation and a Pep Rally from 12:15pm-1:15pm. The Homecoming parade in downtown Atlantic will begin at 2:30pm. The Rams and the Trojans kick off at 7:00pm at the Trojan Bowl.
