Jim Field visits with Shari Peterson, an Iowa native who wrote a book about her experience on United Flight 811 in February of 1989.  A cargo door of the plane blew off leaving a large hole in the side of the plane while over the Pacific Ocean and, miraculously, the pilot was able to get the plane back to Hawaii.  Nine people died in that disaster.  Shari will present a program October 6th and 7th at the Corning Opera House and have copies of her book, “The View from 13F” available.

Atlantic travels to face top-ranked Harlan

Sports

September 29th, 2022 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans (2-3) hit the road on Friday night to take on the top-ranked team in Class 3A, the Harlan Cyclones (4-1), on Friday night. We’ll have coverage of the contest on KJAN.

The Trojans are looking to bounce back after stumbling late in their Homecoming loss to ADM last week. The Trojans were able to keep pace with the Tigers for a good chunk of the game but didn’t close strong. They will need to finish strong this week to try to topple the Cyclones. Harlan quarterback Teagon Kasperbauer has been efficient once again for the defending champs, completing over 61% of his passes. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said it’s hard to slow the Cyclones down because Kasperbauer has so many weapons to turn to.

Harlan has five rushers over 100 yards on the season and four receivers with 80+ yards on the year. Cyclones Head Coach Todd Bladt said they look to make it tough on opponents with their balance.

The Trojans have a strong quarterback in their own right in Caden Andersen who has thrown for 1,057 yards and 10 scores this year. The Trojans have a good group of receivers on the end of those throws and Coach Brummer said they will need to make some big plays this week.

Coach Bladt has been impressed with the Trojan’s passing game and says it will test his defense.

The Trojans and Cyclones will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. on Friday night at Merrill Field. We’ll have coverage starting with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m. Chris Parks and Jason Ayers will have the call on AM 1220, FM 101.1, online at KJAN.com. and on KJANTV. Catch a full interview with Coach Brummer at 4:45 p.m. Friday on Trojan Preview.
