Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (1-3) football team hits the road to Adel to start district play on Friday night against the ADM Tigers (3-1). Atlantic is looking to turn the page after a rough non-district portion of the schedule. The Trojans got the offense churning in a week 3 win over Shenandoah but couldn’t carry any of that over into last week’s road trip to Ballard. Atlantic will now have another tough test against an ADM squad that has had some success spreading opponents out and running the ball well with quarterback Matt Dufoe. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said slowing down Dufoe will have to be priority number one.

The Trojans will stack up against a traditional 4-3 defense from the Tigers this week and Coach Brummer said he hopes to see a rotated lineup up front start to prove themselves.

The Trojans and Tigers will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night in Adel. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call of the game on AM 1220, FM 101.1, online at KJAN.com, and live video will be available on KJANTV. Catch a full interview with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. and then catch our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. That will be followed by our pregame coverage at 6:30 p.m.
