Atlantic looks to keep momentum rolling at OA-BCIG

Sports

October 3rd, 2019 by admin

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (2-3) football team hopes to keep momentum rolling from a thrilling road win over Kuemper Catholic last week into this week’s road test at the OA-BCIG Falcons (5-0). Atlantic played a strong complete game against the Knights and came up with some big plays late to seal a win. The Trojans stuffed Kuemper Catholic on a 2-point conversion attempt in the final minute to secure that opening district win. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said that experience will be valuable.

Tyler Moen led the offense again last week for the Trojans with 224 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He also came up big on special teams with the first two field goal makes of the year for Atlantic. OA-BCIG Head Coach Larry Allen said they know the offense runs through Moen and they will need to try to slow him down.

The OA-BGIG offense goes through their quarterback Cooper Dejean. He’s thrown for 1,183 yards, 19 touchdowns, and just 1 interception this season. DeJean has completed 65% of his passes and Coach Allen said he has orchestrated the offense very well.

The Atlantic defense has shown improvement throughout the year and Coach McDermott said everyone is building confidence and understanding their defensive roles better.

The Trojans and Falcons are scheduled to kickoff at 7:00pm in Ida Grove. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call beginning with the Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame at 6:30pm. Catch the game on-air, online, on the web app, or watch on KJANTV. You can catch our weekly pick ’em show “Who’s Gonna Win?” at 6:00pm and then stay tuned after the game for all the scores around the state on the “Iowa High School Scoreboard Show” from 10:00pm-11:30pm.

Chronic wasting disease rattling Iowa officials, hunters

Ag/Outdoor, News, Sports

October 3rd, 2019 by Ric Hanson

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Iowa game officials and deer hunters are taking extra precautions this season in the wake of an emerging threat of a chronic fatal disease affecting deer. The Telegraph Herald reports that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources plans to collect as many deer samples in northeastern Iowa as it can this hunting season to test for chronic wasting disease after the first case in Dubuque County was confirmed in January. Samples also will be collected from surrounding eastern Iowa counties.

The disease attacks the brains of deer and elk and is always fatal. No human cases have ever been recorded, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises people to not eat meat from infected animals. The disease has become increasingly prevalent in parts of the Midwest, including Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — TCU is taking its freshman quarterback to his home state to take on Iowa State in the Big 12’s first weekend with a full slate of conference games. The Cyclones are trying to avoid an 0-2 start in league play after being a trendy preseason pick to make the Big 12 championship game. Horned Frogs true freshman quarterback Max Duggan was the top high school quarterback in Iowa last year.

ATLANTA (AP) — Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuña Jr., two keys to Atlanta’s lineup, say they are healthy for the Braves’ NL Division Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Acuña’s status for Thursday’s Game 1 was the bigger concern. The 21-year-old outfielder has not played since Sept. 24 due to tightness in his left hip. The injury ended his chase for a rare 40-40 season. He finished with 41 homers and 37 steals. Freeman has struggled with bone spurs in his right elbow.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jakub Vrana scored at 2:51 of overtime to give the Washington Capitals a 3-2 victory over the Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues in the opener for both teams. Vrana beat Jordan Binnington with a snap shot to the upper corner for his first point in five career games against the Blues.

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Nebraska defensive lineman Khalil Davis has been suspended for the game against Northwestern on Saturday for striking an Ohio State player in violation of the Big Ten’s sportsmanship policy. The Big Ten also issued a public reprimand. The conference said Davis struck an Ohio State player near the 9:18 mark of the first quarter. No penalty was called.

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — The amateur model of college athletics could be shaken once California’s Fair Pay to Play Act takes effect in a few years. It will allow athletes to profit from their names, images and likenesses through things such as endorsement deals or autograph signings. All are against current NCAA rules. The issue was front and center at the Big Ten’s annual basketball media day. Players seem to be all for it.
