News

September 6th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports a teen was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign, following a collision Thursday between a pickup and a semi tractor-trailer, in Stanton. The accident in Stanton happened around 4:30-p.m., at the intersection of Highway 34 and Q Avenue. Authorities say an unidentified 15-year old male was driving a 2005 Ford F-250 pickup when he failed to stop at the intersection. The 2007 Freightliner semi, driven by 53-year old David E. Lorenzen, of Fremont, NE., struck the pickup on passenger side, causing the pickup to enter the north ditch. No injuries were mentioned by either driver at the time of the Sheriff’s report.

Damage to the pickup was estimated at $5,000. The semi sustained about $25,000 damage. And, the stop sign owned by the State of Iowa, sustained $200 damage.

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (1-0) have their first road test of the football season tonight with a trip to face the Creston O-M Panthers (1-0), and we’ll have coverage on KJAN.

Creston had an impressive week one victory over Chariton 42-0. Senior quarterback Eli Louden led a strong aerial attack for the Panthers with 338 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air. Wideout Cael Kralik made a splash in that win as well catching 8 balls for 252 yards and 3 of those scores. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the Trojan defense will have to be assignment sound against the Panthers offense.

The Trojans opened up the season with a 49-13 win over Saydel at the Trojan Bowl. The Trojans were able to hit some big plays early in that game and had a 35-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Tyler Moen led the ground attack with 191 yards and 4 touchdowns in that game. Creston Head Coach Brian Morrison said the Panthers will need to keep Moen contained inside.

The Trojans and Panthers are set for a 7:00pm kickoff tonight. We’ll have pregame starting at 6:30pm on KJAN as Chris Parks and Mike Smith bring you the call. You can listen on-air or online, and you can also watch live streaming video on KJAN TV. You can hear a full preview of the game with Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott on Trojan Preview at 4:45pm on KJAN and afterwards in podcast form.
