Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (1-0) have their first road test of the football season tonight with a trip to face the Creston O-M Panthers (1-0), and we’ll have coverage on KJAN.

Creston had an impressive week one victory over Chariton 42-0. Senior quarterback Eli Louden led a strong aerial attack for the Panthers with 338 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air. Wideout Cael Kralik made a splash in that win as well catching 8 balls for 252 yards and 3 of those scores. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the Trojan defense will have to be assignment sound against the Panthers offense.

The Trojans opened up the season with a 49-13 win over Saydel at the Trojan Bowl. The Trojans were able to hit some big plays early in that game and had a 35-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Tyler Moen led the ground attack with 191 yards and 4 touchdowns in that game. Creston Head Coach Brian Morrison said the Panthers will need to keep Moen contained inside.

The Trojans and Panthers are set for a 7:00pm kickoff tonight. We’ll have pregame starting at 6:30pm on KJAN as Chris Parks and Mike Smith bring you the call. You can listen on-air or online, and you can also watch live streaming video on KJAN TV. You can hear a full preview of the game with Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott on Trojan Preview at 4:45pm on KJAN and afterwards in podcast form.
