Special teams miscues prove costly for Atlantic against Glenwood

Podcasts, Sports

August 27th, 2022 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans fought tough on the road against the Glenwood Rams on Friday night but ultimately fell 43-27. The Trojans had some great stretches of offensive play but a number of special teams mistakes throughout the game were costly. The Rams also hit on a number of big plays offensively to grab the win.

The game opened with some excitement as the Rams thought they ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown but the play was called back for a block in the back. The Trojan defense then came through with a couple of tackles for loss and got the ball back with an interception by Jackson McLaren. Atlantic then hit paydirt on their first offensive play with Caden Andersen hitting Colton Rasmussen for a 47 yard passing score. Glenwood would respond with a 12 yard touchdown pass from Kayden Anderson to Payton Longmeyer to tie the game up at 7. The Trojans were forced to punt on their next possession and the Rams hit it big two plays later. Tate Mayberry ripped off a 66-yard touchdown run to give the Rams a 14-7 lead, and they would hold that lead the rest of the way.

Atlantic got back within 7 on a 14-yard screen pass to Tanner O’Brien to make it 21-14. The Rams answered back again with a 57-yard strike from Anderson to Cody Krause. Atlantic then stalled on their next drive and had a punt blocked. The ball sailed back into the endzone and went out of bounds to produce a safety for the Rams. The teams then traded a couple of punts and a line drive punt from Carter Pellett was returned by Longmeyer to the Atlantic 9 yard line. The Rams cashed in on the next play with another TD run from Mayberry to make it 36-14 at half.

The second half was much quieter on the scoring front. Atlantic got to the one yard line on their second possession of the half, but a lost yardage play pushed them back and they failed to score. Their next possession ended with a Tanner O’Brien 2 yard score to get within 36-20. Again the Rams squashed that momentum though with a 65- yard hookup from Anderson to Krause to put the game out of reach. The Trojans scored once more on a 53-yard pass from Andersen to Rasmussen with 3:21 to play and that ended the scoring.

Atlantic opens up at 0-1 and will now prep for Kuemper Catholic at home next week. Glenwood moves to 1-1 on the season and will head to Indianola next week.
