Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (2-5) football team travels to face the Shenandoah Mustangs (0-7) on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The Trojans are looking to carry some momentum from a strong performance against Greene County over to this week. The Trojans racked up 399 yards of total offense against the Rams last week with a well balanced attack. Shenandoah Head Coach Ty Ratliff said his team has been focused on trying to limit scrambling opportunities for Trojan quarterback Chase Mullenix.

The Mustangs haven’t been able to generate consistent offense of their own this season but Coach Ratliff said they have been improving week to week up front.

The Mustangs are led by their quarterback Kyle Cerven who has thrown for 612 yards and rushed for 199 yards. The Mustangs have adapted their scheme to give Cerven a chance to run and Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the Trojans will be focused on trying to set the edge.

Atlantic had some success last week with a quick hitting run game and Coach McDermott said they will look for more of that this week.

You can hear more from Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview at 4:45pm on Friday afternoon.
