Atlantic travels to Harlan for final non-district test

Sports

September 14th, 2018 by admin

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans football team will take on a Hawkeye Ten foe for the third straight week with a trip to Harlan for their final non-district test tonight. The Trojans (2-1) are coming off an overtime win last week over Clarinda 21-20. The Trojan defense came up with a stop on a Clarinda 2-pt conversion try to seal that win. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said a win like that boosts the confidence of the team moving forward. This week he knows the Trojans will face a tough test against a much bigger line from Harlan (2-1).

Coach McDermott hopes the Trojans can create some seems for their backs to hit some big plays but he knows it will be important to sustain some drives to help in the time possession game against the Cyclones.

The Cyclones also have a knack for playing tough defense and Harlan Head Coah Curt Bladt has liked the improvement he has seen from his team defensively thus far.

Chase Mullenix has been strong at the quarterback spot for Atlantic throwing for 432 yards and 3 scores while rushing for 306 yards and 4 more touchdowns. Coach Bladt had high praise for Mullenix and thinks they will be facing an improving Atlantic team.

Harlan will counter with a productive quarterback of their own in Preston Mulligan. He has thrown for 748 yards and 11 touchdowns with only one interception given up. Coach McDermott hopes the Trojans can put the Cyclones in some long third down situations to make Mulligan’s job more difficult.

Tune in for a full interview with Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview this afternoon at 4:45pm.

We’ll have coverage of the game tonight on KJAN. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Merrill Field with pregame at 6:30pm and kickoff at 7:00pm. You can catch the game on-air, online, on the app, or watch the live video feed on our Facebook page. Stay tuned after the game for all the scores from around the state on the Iowa High School Scoreboard Show from 10:00pm-11:30pm.

September 14th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Rivals collide tonight in a key district eight contest in 8-man as ninth ranked Glidden-Ralston visits number six Exira-EHK. These schools are conference foes in other sports and Glidden-Ralston coach Kreg Lensch says the rivalry dates back several years.

Lensch says the defense faces a tough challenge against the Spartans.

Exira-EHK coach Tom Peterson says it is early but it is a big game in the district race.

Peterson says these teams have met in many big games.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Salvador Perez and Jorge Bonifacio hit back-to-back homers during a four-run sixth inning, Heath Fillmyer pitched into the eighth and the Kansas City Royals held on to beat the Minnesota Twins 6-4. The loss by the Twins, who occupy second place in the woeful AL Central, reduced the division-leading Cleveland Indians’ magic number to two.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Manny Machado homered and drove in three runs to back Clayton Kershaw, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 9-7 in the opener of a four-game series between playoff contenders. The Dodgers snapped a five-game losing streak against the Cardinals and moved to within one game of St. Louis for the final NL wild-card spot. The Cardinals, who went 22-6 in August, lost their second straight game and fell to 5-7 in September.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes drew raves for his four-touchdown performance in a season-opening win over the Chargers. Now Mahomes will try to help the Chiefs beat the Steelers on the road for the first time in 31 years. Mahomes says he’s not worried about his team’s spotty history against Pittsburgh. The Steelers are looking to rebound from an ugly season-opening tie in Cleveland in which they turned the ball over six times.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid laughs and shrugs when you ask him where he draws up some of his plays. Sometimes it’s on the back of a restaurant napkin, or a scratch piece of paper on an airplane. One thing is certain: Many of them end up working.

UNDATED (AP) — Tony Gonzalez is the most accomplished tight end in NFL history. He’s now a nominee for the 2019 class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So is safety Ed Reed. And cornerback Champ Bailey. And linebacker London Fletcher. All are first-year eligible players among the 102 modern-era nominees. The field will be pared to 25 semifinalists in November and 15 finalists in January.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Big 12 is in the spotlight this week with a series of games against Power Five schools, to say nothing of Oklahoma State’s game against Boise State. The highlight is No. 15 TCU against fourth-ranked Ohio State. But whether it’s Kansas-Rutgers or Texas-Southern California, the league has a chance to make a national statement.
