The CAM Cougars (4-3, 3-2) will play host to the Fremont-Mills Knights (6-1, 4-1) Friday night in an important 8-Man District 8 battle. The Cougars need to win at least one of their last two games, which are both against top 10 rated opponents, in order to have a shot at the playoffs. CAM Head Coach Joe Wollum says his team knows what is stake at the end of the season and he expects a physical game from the Knights.
Fremont-Mills is coming off their first and only loss of the season to Lenox. The Tigers connected on a touchdown pass with only 25 seconds left to knock off the Knights on their home turf.
The Knights will try to bounce back against a CAM team also coming off a loss in week 7 at East Mills. Both teams will try to overcome injuries to get a win as both team’s quarterbacks left their respective week 7 games with injuries. CAM QB Drew Ticknor is expected to play while F-M QB Sam Phillips will be a game-time decision. Fremont-Mills Head Coach Jeremy Christainsen knows a big key will be to try to slow down Ticknor.
We will have coverage of the game for you on KJAN with pregame at 6:30pm and Kickoff at 7:00pm. You can listen to the game on AM1220, FM101.1, online, or on the KJAN mobile app. You can also watch a live video stream of the game on KJANTV online.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Vikings star Adrian Peterson offered encouragement to Jamaal Charles on Wednesday, three days after his Chiefs counterpart sustained a torn ACL in his right knee against Chicago. It was Charles who, after tearing his left ACL four years ago, reached out to Peterson later in the season. Minnesota’s running back had just torn the same ligament in his knee that December. Both players returned from their injuries the following season.
Peterson said he can’t imagine having to go through the painful hours of rehabilitation for a second torn ACL, which Charles is facing. But he also said that his fellow Texan has the “God-given ability” to come back from such a devastating injury. The Chiefs visit the Vikings on Sunday.

Atlantic will be searching to crack the top five in the team race with the potential for four runners in the top 20.

Lewis Central, Atlantic, Kuemper Catholic, Glenwood and Shenandoah-Essex could all compete for the second team place. Individually Brendan O’Brien of Lewis Central and Cooper McDermott of Creston are expected to battle for the title. O’Brien out-dueled McDermott in the Atlantic home meet last week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals honored two firefighters who were killed while fighting a massive blaze that engulfed an apartment building. Two other firefighters were injured when the building collapsed in Kansas City, Missouri, on Monday night, shortly after fire crews evacuated its residents and rescued two people from the second story. The two injured were hospitalized in stable condition.
Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer, whose father Mike is a retired Miami firefighter, wore a Kansas City Fire Department shirt during batting practice on Tuesday. So did third baseman Mike Moustakas, while pitcher Jeremy Guthrie wore a hat honoring the department.
The Royals forced Game 5 in their AL Division Series against the Houston Astros with a dramatic late-inning comeback. The decisive game is tonight (Wednesday).
