The Atlantic Trojans football team showed a lot of grit in a tough loss on the road at Glenwood on Friday night 42-20.  The final score was not at all indicative of how the game played out.

Glenwood scored a touchdown with 2:02 left in the first half after stopping the Trojans on a 4th down attempt near mid field. That gave the Rams their first two score lead of the night at 21-7 at the break.  The Rams would push that lead to 28-7 after going 61 yards in ten plays to score on their opening possession of the second half. Andrew Blum capped the drive with his second touchdown run of the night from 26 yards out.

From that point the Trojans rallied.  Atlantic scored 13-unanswered on their next two possessions to climb within 8 points 28-20.  Jaxson Eden hooked up with Logan Reilly for the first score. Chase Mullenix then picked off an Andrew Blum pass to give the ball back to the Trojans. On a fourth and goal from the 5 Eden hooked up with Gratt Reed on a touchdown pass to get to the one score margin.

After forcing a Glenwood fumble the Trojans were working their way down the field to potentially tie the game. Then on a short pass to Chase Mullenix the ball was bobbled into the air and Jake Murtfeld made a diving interception at the 10 yard line to give the ball back to Glenwood. The Rams would capitalize, going 90 yards in 10 plays capped off by a 6 yard touchdown run by Noah Carter to give Glenwood a two score lead again at 35-20.  The Rams would add another late Noah Carter touchdown run to ice the win.

Glenwood was led by Noah Carter with 205 yards on 27 carries and 4 rushing touchdowns.  The Rams finished with 480 yards of total offense as they improve to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in district play.

Atlantic was led by a nice passing night from Jaxson Eden who was 20-31 for 258 yards and 3 touchdowns. Chase Mullenix had 8 catches fro 133 yards on the night and he also added 23 rushing yards and an interception on defense.  The Trojans had 335 yards of total offense as they fall to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in district play.

The Trojans return home to face ADM next week.
