Atlantic School District Superintendent Steve Barber, Monday afternoon, reported that this Friday’s (Sept. 18th) football game, Atlantic-versus-Clarinda, will not be played at the Trojan Bowl. It will instead take place in Glenwood, with the kick-off at 7-p.m. as normal.

Barber said “We were hopeful that the new Trojan Bowl would be ready to host our first football game on September 18, 2020. Unfortunately, due to many factors, the field will not be ready by the end of the week.  I know this is disappointing news, yet once completed this facility will be enjoyed for many years to come. Please know that even though we will not play Friday night we have all intentions of playing football in our new stadium this season.”

Atlantic Activities Director Andy Mitchell said that all seniors that were scheduled to be recognized at this week’s game will now be recognized at the next home football game instead on October 9th vs. Red Oak.

We’ll have coverage of the game this Friday between Atlantic and Clarinda on KJAN and KJANTV.
