The Atlantic football team will get to step into the Trojan Bowl for their home opener against Kuemper Catholic on Friday night. The Trojans are looking to make strides from a week one loss on the road at Glenwood. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said they have been working hard to improve this week, especially on special teams.

The Trojans had a lot of positives to take away from week one. Caden Andersen threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns. Colton Rasmussen hauled in 5 catches for 181 yards and two scores. And the defensive line had a big game getting pressure and stuffing the run game fairly well. This week will be a great test up front against a Kuemper Catholic team that likes to run the ball.

Kuemper Catholic played well in their opening win over Logan-Magnolia 34-12. Logan Sibenaller at tailback had 171 yards on 15 carries and 2 touchdowns. The Trojans made a bunch of mental mistakes in last year’s loss to the Knights and Coach Brummer thinks the team is much more confident to eliminate some of those errors this year.

The Knights and the Trojans kickoff Friday night at 7:00 p.m. at the Trojan Bowl. Check out our other story on the sports page with ticket information. Listen to a full rundown with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. Friday on KJAN.
