AHSTW clashes with St. Albert for district title Friday on KJAN

Sports

October 18th, 2018 by admin

The AHSTW Vikings (8-0, 4-0) football team will clash with the St. Albert Falcons (5-3, 4-0) on Friday night with the Class A District 9 title on the line. We’ll have coverage on KJAN as the Vikings look to remain unbeaten and carry strong momentum into the playoffs next week. AHSTW has been strong on both sides of the ball this season and St. Albert Head Coach Pat Ryan had high praise for the Vikings.

Blake Osbahr has thrown for 1,608 yards and 25 touchdowns for the Vikings and Gabe Pauley has been a stalwart in the backfield, rushing for 1,164 yard and 18 scores. Coach Ryan said the Falcons will just hope to slow the Vikings down a bit to have a chance late in the game. The Falcons need the win to get in to the playoff field and Coach Ryan said his team is excited for the challenge.

The Falcons have seen a young, inexperienced squad improve as the season has moved along and AHSTW Head Coach Davis Pattee said they have a lot of weapons to contain.

A district title and an undefeated regular season would certainly be a great accomplishment, but Coach Pattee said they don’t need to dwell on those things with larger goals in mind.

The Vikings and Falcons are set for a 7:00pm kickoff in Avoca and our pregame coverage will begin at 6:30pm.  Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on-air, online, on the web app, and live streaming video on our Facebook page. Tune in before the game for our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm and stay tuned after the game as well for all the scores from around the state on the Iowa High School Scoreboard Show from 10:00pm-11:30pm.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association has stated they hope to release a list of playoff qualifiers in each class by midnight, with brackets and pairings being released early Saturday morning.

Atlantic wants to end the season on a high note against Red Oak

Sports

October 18th, 2018 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans football team will be looking to end the season on a high note against Red Oak on Friday night. The Trojans (3-5, 1-3) are coming off a win last week Trojan Logoover Shenandoah 28-7 and hope to carry some momentum from that win into this week’s match-up with the Tigers (4-4, 2-2).

The Tigers boast a strong ground attack with three rushers over the 600 yard mark on the season. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said Red Oak’s toughness jumped out right away to him during preparation.

The Trojans have shown a lot of improvement on defense the past two weeks and Coach McDermott said they will need to continue to make plays up front to slow Red Oak down. Atlantic has also gotten some strong running going themselves in their last few outings and multiple guys have gotten involved. Tyler Moen, Zade Niklasen, Chase Mullenix, and Collin Mullenix all had strong showings last week in the win over the Mustangs.

11 seniors will be suiting up for the last time at the Trojan Bowl this week and Coach McDermott said they have provided great leadership for the team this season.

The Trojans and Tigers are set for a 7:00pm kickoff at the Trojan Bowl Friday night. You can hear more from Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview at 4:45pm Friday afternoon on KJAN.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Once a mighty mid major, Northern Iowa has lost more games than it has won over the past two seasons. The Panthers are hoping four-star freshman point guard A.J. Green can help them get back to the top of the Missouri Valley standings. Green, a consensus top-80 recruit whose father, Kyle, is Northern Iowa’s associate head coach, is the kind of rare natural talent that the Panthers rarely land _ and he’s atop a recruiting class that coach Ben Jacobson hopes will reinvigorate the program.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Tyreek Hill have built a strong rapport just six games into their partnership. Mahomes has hit the speedster just about every way imaginable, including with his left hand. And together, they’re a big reason why the Chiefs are off to a 5-1 start with their lone loss last Sunday in New England.

UNDATED (AP) — Kevin Mawae played 16 seasons in the NFL earning eight Pro Bowls and three All-Pro honors. Yet the former offensive lineman found himself struggling to walk in the summer of 2017. With each step came stabbing pains because of severe plantar fasciitis. The Breakfast Club came to his rescue by helping him learn how to treat his aching feet. The Breakfast Club is a free six-week program bringing former players together for three workouts a week while offering physical therapy and a nutritionist.

NEW YORK (AP) — Plenty of scoring and close games are good for business in the NFL. Teams are scoring at a record pace. The number of points, touchdowns and touchdown passes are the most in league history through six weeks. And, games are coming down to the end.

Kuemper zips by Atlantic in volleyball quarterfinals

Sports

October 17th, 2018 by admin

The Kuemper Catholic Knights volleyball team looks poised for a deep postseason run after a dominating performance against Atlantic on Wednesday night in the Class 3A Region 2 Quarterfinals. The Knights ran away with a straight set victory 25-2, 25-10, 25-6 over the Trojans.

The Knights started hot with a 7 point run to open up the first set and put together another 7 point run and an 11 point run to take the first. The stars for the Knights shone bright as kill leader Aimee Adams finished with 10 kills and one service ace on the night. Kara Peter was the leader early in the match and finished with 7 kills, 3 blocks, and 4 aces. Anna Niehaus also finished the night with 7 kills to help Kuemper advance.

The top-ranked Knights improved to 40-1 on the year and will host in-town rival Carroll next Tuesday in the Regional Semifinal. The Tigers were able to get there by outlasting OA-BCIG in 5 sets in Ida Grove.

Atlantic’s season ends with an 8-28 record.
