Atlantic hopes to keep the ball rolling in road trip to Saydel

Sports

October 14th, 2021 by admin

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (2-5, 1-2) football team hits the road this week to face the Saydel Eagles (0-7, 0-3). Atlantic is coming off a nice win on Homecoming over Knoxville 46-6. The Trojans were able to get the ground game going in that contest with running back Dante Hedrington leading the way with 142 yards and two touchdowns. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said it has taken work to start to have more success running the ball.

This week the Trojans defense will be tasked with trying to slow down the Eagles big quarterback Judd Roberts, who has thrown for 946 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Saydel hasn’t had the end results they would like on the field but Co-Head Coach Jacob Santos said the team has stuck together well to keep working. He said they like to give Roberts the keys to the offense each week.

Santos said he sees a lot of similarities between his team and the way that Atlantic likes to play. He has been impressed with Trojan quarterback Caden Andersen and his ability to extend plays.

The Trojans and the Eagles will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. Chris Parks will have the call on AM 1220, FM 101.1, online at kjan.com, and you can watch the live video on KJANTV. Listen to a full chat with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. Friday afternoon. Then catch our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m.

Schildt out as St. Louis Cardinals manager

Sports

October 14th, 2021 by Jim Field

Mike Schildt is out as St. Louis Cardinals manager. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak announced the move on Thursday during a press conference, citing philosophical differences.

Schildt just guided the Cardinals to a team-record 17-game winning streak at the end of the regular season that sent the redbirds to the NL Wild Card Game. The Cardinals dropped that wild card game to the LA Dodgers with a walk-off home run ending the game.

“While these decisions are difficult, both parties agreed that philosophical differences related to the direction of the organization brought us to this conclusion,” stated Cardinals’ President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak.”With just one year remaining on Mike’s contract, it was in everyone’s best interests that we address this now.”

Shildt, 53, was named the Cardinals interim manager on July 15, 2018 and had his interim title removed on August 28, 2018.  He spent 13 years (2004-16) in player development as a scout, coach and manager before joining the Cardinals Major League coaching staff in 2017.

In his three-plus seasons as the Cardinals Manager, Shildt posted a 252-199 won-loss record and was voted National League Manager of the Year in 2019 by the BBWAA.

Today’s announcement marks just the third managerial change for the Cardinals dating to 1996, when the team hired Hall of Fame Manager Tony La Russa.  Mike Matheny (2012-18) and Shildt (2018-21) have followed La Russa’s 16-year tenure in St. Louis that was capped off with a World Series title in 2011.

Iowa State defense previews Kansas State

Sports

October 14th, 2021 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State linebacker Mike Rose says a length losing streak at Kansas State has not been discussed this week. The Cyclones visit the Wildcats under the lights and will be in search of their first victory in Manhattan since 2004.

Two years ago in Manhattan K-State scored the final 13 points of the game to edge the Cyclones 27-27 on a frigid and windy day.

Rose says the Cyclones used the bye week for self evaluation.

Safety Greg Eisworth says the Cyclones are getting ready for a hostile environment.

K-State quarterback Skylar Thompson is back from injury and Eisworth says that will add to the challenge.

Eisworth says the Cyclones need to limit mistakes.
