The Atlantic Trojans football team rolled to a season opening win at Clarinda on Friday night 40-0. The Trojans jumped on top early scoring on their first two possessions and didn’t look back.
Chase Mullenix opened up the scoring capping off the opening drive with a 25-yard touchdown run. After the Trojans forced a three and out for Clarinda on their first possession, Atlantic added another score in four plays with a Dillon Sonntag 48-yard touchdown run to make it 14-0.
Clarinda’s longest drive of the night on the next possession would be cut off by a Logan Reilly interception that he returned 51 yards for a touchdown. Atlantic seized full control of the game on that play and lead 33-0 at halftime. One more score would be added on the Trojans’ first possession of the second half to bring the final 40-0 score.
Chase Mullenix finished with one touchdown receiving and one rushing. Jaxson Eden threw two touchdown passes and 5 different Trojans would enter the end zone on the night. The Trojan defense was stellar as well, holding Clarinda under 100 yards of total offense.
Atlantic will now return home for a game against the Shenandoah Mustangs next Friday at the Trojan Bowl.
