The Audubon Wheelers will host the Exira-EHK Spartans for an important 8-Player District 10 football game on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The Wheelers come in at 1-3 after a very tough early season schedule. Wheelers Head Coach Sean Birks said the team has learned a lot from those early tough games and he feels like they are improving their understanding of the game.

Exira-EHK is off to a 2-1 start with their lone loss coming in a close battle with West Harrison. Trey Petersen has led the Spartan offense with 587 yards passing with 8 touchdowns and 199 yards on the ground with 3 more scores. Aiden Flathers has rushed for 206 yards and 4 more scores. Coach Birks said the Spartans have shown some good balance.

Audubon has been led by their quarterback as well, Aaron Olsen. He’s thrown for 154 yards and a score and rushed for 415 yards and 7 touchdowns. Coach Birks said they need to make some more plays in the pass game this week. It’s always a good atmosphere when these teams get together and Coach Birks said the way the schedule shapes up makes it a big game this year.

The Spartans and Wheelers will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Chis Jones Field in Audubon. The night will start with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m. Tune in on AM 1220, FM 101.1, KJAN.com, and KJANTV.
