The Glenwood Rams found the end zone early and rolled to a 47-6 win over Atlantic at the Trojan Bowl on Friday night. Glenwood senior quarterback Kayden Anderson was sharp throwing two touchdown passes to Payton Longmeyer and running for another score.

The Rams scored on the opening possession of the game with a 14-yard pass from Anderson to Longmeyer. The Ram defense forced a three and out for Atlantic’s first possession and Longmeyer had a great return to the Atlantic 17 yard line to set up his own score. On the next play Longmeyer cut inside and raced in for a touchdown run to put the Rams up 14-0 early. A 3-yard touchdown run by Tristan Meier on the next possession made it 21-0 before the end of the first quarter. The lead snowballed from there.

Atlantic was finally able to get a positive drive together to start the second half but it was almost thwarted by an interception. The Rams gave it back on the following play with a fumble and Atlantic eventually hit pay dirt. The second play of the fourth quarter had Zayden Parker hit Colton Rasmussen for a 10 yard touchdown connection. The point after try was blocked and that’s where the score would finish. The second half melted away fast with a running clock in place.

Atlantic falls to 1-1 on the season and will now prep for a long road trip to Jefferson next week to face Greene County. Glenwood improved to 2-0 and will have a big game next week at Harlan.
