The defending State Runner-Up Audubon Wheelers will open up the 2020 season hosting nearby foe Exira-EHK on Friday night at Chis Jones Field. The Wheelers come in ranked #3 in the opening Radio Iowa poll in 8-Man. Audubon brings back a strong core from last year’s team, but some great players graduated as well. Wheelers Head Coach Sean Birks said one of the biggest question marks is who steps up at the line of scrimmage.

The skill positions are much less of a question mark on the other hand. Top passer Gavin Smith returns after tossing 14 touchdown and 846 yards. Ethan Klocke, Joel Klocke, and Braden Wessel form a strong trio of rushers and receivers that accounted for 21 scores last season. Exira-EHK Head Coach Tom Petersen said they will be a tough group to slow down.

Exira-EHK will have a team with a similar makeup as their last, a mix of experience and youth. Coach Petersen said it’s going to be a learn as you go type of start to the season.

The Spartans return Quarterback Tyler Petersen who threw for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Another coaches son Trey Petersen will be expected to pick up a chunk of the load in the backfield. Creighton Nelson was relied on heavily in the ground game last year but he is gone to graduation. Coach Birks expects they’ll get the typical strong test from the Spartans.

We’ll have coverage of the game on KJAN. Tune in for our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. to start the night, followed by The Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame Show at 6:30 p.m., and then kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on AM 1220, FM 101.1, online at kjan.com, and you can watch the video broadcast as well on KJANTV.

The Atlantic football team is gearing up for what they feel will be a strong season. The reason they are confident is the wealth of experience that returns to the squad and they are emphasizing a strong team first mentality. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott says this team has strong contributors all across the lineup.

Garrett McLaren returns under center after passing for 612 yards and 6 touchdowns as a sophomore. Caden Andersen is expected to get some action at quarterback as well. Leading receiver Colin Mullenix is back after hauling in 5 touchdowns last year. Grant Sturm and Garrett Reynolds are two other strong returning targets. Coach McDermott knows they have a number of guys that can help fill the void left by graduated star running back Tyler Moen.

With so much experience returning the Trojans are confident they can make some noise this season but Coach McDermott said he thinks they are just anxious to get out and compete at this point.

The Trojans open up the season on the road at Class 1A #9 Underwood on Friday night. You can hear Coach McDermott’s thoughts on that game and the full interview on Friday afternoon at 4:45 p.m. on Trojan Preview on KJAN.
