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.
(Radio Iowa) – August continued the summer weather pattern that Iowa and the Midwest have been stuck in now for some time. State Climatologist, Justin Glisan, says this pattern includes warmer conditions.
It was also drier, with rainfall averaging three-point-five inches in August.
Glisan says the combined numbers for the three summer months this year are very similar to 2020 and 2021.

He says June, July, and August, of this year, continued the drier trend.
Glisan says the drought conditions this year are NOT as bad as they were for the three summer months last year. He says the La Nina weather pattern is behind the warmer, drier summers.
He says that could lead to a warmer winter, but it’s too early to tell that.
(Radio Iowa) – Construction is underway on a giant mural bearing the likenesses of Don and Phil Everly on Highway 2 in southwest Iowa, alerting tourists to the Everly Brothers Childhood Home in Shenandoah. California artist John Cerney created the mural, which he says targets motorists who may not know of the brothers’ rich history, and how the duo parlayed performances as young children on K-M-A in the 1940s to music stardom as rock-and-roll pioneers in the 1950s and ’60s.
Cerney, the creator of similar signs in southwest Iowa, says the mural is more eyecatching than the run-of-the-mill billboards dotting the countryside.

For an Everlys Brothers’ fans like Cerney, the mural is a labor of love.
Cerney and two assistants plan to return to the mural today (Thursday) for waterproofing and other finishing touches. Shenandoah Chamber and Industry Association officials hope visitors will stop by the Everly Brothers house during Shenfest weekend in late September.

The normal average high for August is 83 degrees and this year we averaged at 86.4 degrees for the month. The average low is typically 61 degrees and this year we averaged a low of 59.5 degrees for the low.
It has been pretty evident that we’ve been stuck in a dry spell for the last two months and we once again fell woefully short of average rainfall. Rainfall typically amounts to 3.88-inches, but this year we only managed to get 1.96 inches of rain which did turn out to be 0.7″ more than July.

Traffic signals will be in place to direct traffic through the work zone.
