ISU police hoping new pedestrian bridge helps fans for season opener

News, Sports

September 2nd, 2022 by admin

Thousands of fans are expected to head to Ames for the first Iowa State home football game Saturday. I-S-U Police Chief Michael Newton says a new pedestrian bridge on the east side of Jack Trice Stadium should help with all the extra traffic.

Officers have had to stop cars to let pedestrians cross the street safely, and now they can just walk across the bridge.

There is a new R-V parking lot that will feed into the bridge too. Newton says there are not a lot of changes for those who attend the game.

Newton reminds everyone to park legally for the game.

Newton says to give yourself extra time to get to your parking area, as there will be lots of traffic for the game. The Cyclones face Southeast Missouri State at 1 p-m.

Riverside hosts St. Albert in district opener on KJAN

Sports

September 1st, 2022 by admin

The Riverside Bulldogs and St. Albert Falcons will square off in Oakland on Friday night for an early season Class A District 7 football game and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The Bulldogs are coming off a disappointing start to the season with a 41-0 loss to Red Oak in week one and Coach Darrell Frain said they needed to build back up some confidence this week.

The Bulldogs weren’t able to establish the run as well as they would of liked against the Tigers and Coach Frain said some more balance is going to be needed to have some success. Stopping the run will be a priority this week as the Falcons bring in tailback Brendan Monahan who had 258 yards on the ground against Treynor in the opening week.

The Falcons came up short in that opener against Treynor 21-17. Coach Jake Driver said they felt they played well but made some mistakes to prevent them from notching the win.

Driver said they have gotten back to basics with their offensive scheme and it has created a good rushing attack. Coach Driver expects a good challenge from Riverside and has a lot of respect for Coach Frain and his staff.

The Bulldogs and Falcons will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Our broadcast night on KJAN will start 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 Mike Smith will have the call on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at KJAN.com You can also watch the game through the student run broadcast on the Riverside Sports Television Network channel through the KJAN Video Network.

Atlantic excited to hit the Trojan Bowl

Sports

September 1st, 2022 by admin

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.
