Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (4-1) football team continues their road warrior season tonight with a visit to the Shenandoah Mustangs (3-2). The Trojans are riding a four game winning streak; taking down Des Moines Christian last week 38-0. The Mustangs had a nice start to the season but stumbled last week in a 45-10 loss to rival Clarinda.

The Mustangs have been working to develop a balanced offense with senior quarterback Zayne Zwickel throwing for 775 yards, and two backs getting involved in the run and pass game. Morgan Cotten is a multi purpose option for Zwickel having carried the ball 91 times and catching 7 passes as well. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the defense will be tested by the Mustangs.

Atlantic has been very opportunistic on defense with 15 takeaways on the year. The Trojans have also been able to develop some offensive balance of their own behind the passing of Garrett McLaren and the rushing duo of Korey Parrott and Bodie Johnson.

You can hear a full interview with Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. today on KJAN. Then we’ll have coverage of the game tonight. We’ll start the night with out pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by The Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame Show at 6:30 p.m. with kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Jim Field will have the call on AM 1220, FM 101.1 and online at kjan.com.
