Atlantic travels to face Greene County on Friday on KJAN

Sports

October 4th, 2018 by admin

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans football team will travel to Jefferson on Friday evening for a meeting with the Greene County Rams. The Trojans (2-4, 0-2) are coming in to the game on a three game losing streak, including back to back loses at home to open up district play. The Trojans have struggled to get consistent offensive production and haven’t prevented big plays from the opposing offenses during the losing skid. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said his team will need to get hit some big plays of their own this week against the Rams.

When it comes to slowing down the Rams balanced offense, Coach McDermott said they will need to stop the run first.

Greene County (5-1, 1-1) lost their first game of the season last week in a tight game against Kuemper Catholic. Rams Head Coach Mitch Moore said a key for his team this week will be to contain Atlantic quarterback Chase Mullenix.

The Rams have been able to achieve some great balance on offense with quarterback Brent Riley throwing for 1,266 yards and running backs Clint Dennhardt and Colby Kafer combining for 955 yards on the ground. Coach Moore said he thinks what stands out from the Atlantic defense is how hard they play but he thinks his team needs to just worry about doing their job to have offensive success.

The Trojans and Rams have moved their scheduled kickoff up to 5:00pm with the anticipation of severe weather possible Friday night. The freshman game has been canceled.

We’ll have coverage of the game on KJAN with pregame at 4:30pm and kickoff at 5:00pm. You can catch the game on-air, online, on the web app, or watch live video on our Facebook page.

Our weekly chat with Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview will now air at 3:45pm, followed by our high school pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 4:00pm. Stay tuned after the game for the Iowa High School Scoreboard Show from 10:00pm-11:30pm.

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

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s descent from the top of the college football hierarchy is going on two decades. The Cornhuskers’ 0-4 start still seems jarring, and not just to people inside the program and the fan base that has sold out Memorial Stadium every game since 1962. Former Kansas coach Glen Mason says he never thought he would see the day when a Nebraska team was struggling so much.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have the NFL’s worst defense, allowing more than 450 yards per game. But the strangest thing happens when they manage to hold an opposing offense and first and second downs: They suddenly become the league’s best. Yes, that sieve-like defense holds opponents to a measly 23.8 percent conversion rate on third down.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State knew it needed an instant infusion of veteran talent after its worst record in seven years. The Cyclones are yet again leaning on a senior transfer, this time intriguing swingman Marial Shayok. The 6-foot-6 Shayok, who was a starter for powerhouse Virginia two years ago, is expected to be a crucial piece for a Cyclones program coming off a painful 13-18 finish in 2017-18.

NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton homered as the New York Yankees thumped the Oakland Athletics, 7-2 to win the American League Wild-Card game in the Bronx. Judge put the Yanks ahead with a two-run blast in the bottom of the first and Luke Voit tripled home a pair in a four-run sixth. The Yanks advanced to the AL Division Series and will take on the Boston Red Sox beginning Friday at Fenway Park.

CHICAGO (AP) — Cubs infielder Addison Russell has accepted a 40-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the ban and said MLB had completed its investigation into the accusations made by Melisa Reidy. The punishment includes the 11 regular-season games he missed after being placed on administrative leave Sept. 21.

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have fired Buck Showalter after eight-plus seasons and a 669-684 record. Showalter led the club to three playoff appearances after taking over in August 2010, but the front office felt a change in the dugout was necessary after the Birds went 47-115 and finished 61 games behind the AL East-leading Red Sox. The club also dismissed executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Capitals lifted their Stanley Cup banner to the rafters before Evgeni Kuznetsov scored twice in a 7-0 blasting of the Boston Bruins. T.J. Oshie put the defending champs ahead to stay just 24 seconds into the game. Nicklas Backstrom set up three goals and Alex Ovechkin had a goal and one assist to support Braden Holtby’s 33rd career shutout.

TORONTO (AP) — John Tavares scored in his Toronto Maple Leafs debut and Auston Matthews tallied twice in a 3-2 overtime win against the Montreal Canadiens. Matthews ended the game by scoring 61 seconds into the extra session after scoring a power-play goal in the opening period. Max Domi had two assists in his first game with the Canadiens.

Jaguars rule out running back Fournette for game at Chiefs

Sports

October 3rd, 2018 by admin

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars have ruled out running back Leonard Fournette four days before the team’s game at Kansas City.

Coach Doug Marrone announced Wednesday that Fournette and cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) will miss the road game Sunday. It was a somewhat surprising move considering NFL teams rarely rule out players before Friday.

Fournette re-injured his right hamstring in a 31-12 victory against the New York Jets last Sunday. Considering he missed two and a half games after initially tweaking it and came back too soon, the Jaguars (3-1) are expected to be more cautious this time around.

No one would be surprised to see Fournette sidelined until after Jacksonville’s bye week, potentially returning Nov. 11 against Indianapolis.

The second-year pro from LSU already has missed five of 20 regular-season games and left his only two starts this season because of hamstring tightness.

He has 71 yards rushing on 20 carries this season.
