The Atlantic Trojan football team (1-2) goes on the road this week to face the ADM Tigers (2-1) in Adel at 7:00pm.  The Trojans will try to bounce back from a 56-6 loss at home in week 3 to a tough Glenwood team.  The injury bug hasn’t been kind to the Trojans as they have already lost two players to season ending injuries and starting Quarterback Kyle Nelson was injured in last week’s contest and his return is questionable.  Sophomore Jaxson Eden will step into the Quarterback role after filling in part of the game last week. Despite the injuries Atlantic Head Coach Eric Waldstein feels like the Trojans match-up well against the Tigers in both size and athleticism.

The ADM Tigers return last season’s starting Quarterback Frank Weiland whom has had mixed success throwing the ball in ADM’s quick paced offense.  Weiland played well against the Trojans last season throwing for over 170 yards and 2 touchdowns but the Tigers do have a tendency to turn the ball over as Weiland has thrown 5 interceptions on the young season.  Coach Waldstein hopes the Trojans can take advantage of mistakes to get the win.

ADM head coach Mike Whisner expects a good game against the Trojans and hopes his team gets off to a fast start.  The Tigers struggled in their first district game of the year against Dallas Center-Grimes and Coach Whisner knows every district game is important and thinks his team will be ready for the next match-up.

Coach Waldstein thinks the Trojans defense will be able to show their strengths against ADM’s quick passing attack and also feels the Trojans can have some success with similar plays on the offensive side of the ball.

We will have coverage of the game tonight on KJAN.  Chris Parks and Seth Christensen will bring you the broadcast with pregame at 6:30pm and kickoff at 7:00pm.  You can listen to the game on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, or on the KJAN mobile app.  You can also watch a live video webcast of the game on KJANTV.  Also listen in at 4:45pm for our extended talk with Coach Waldstein on Trojan Preview and catch our high school football pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm.
