Atlantic hosts Harlan in Class 3A District 8 play Friday

Sports

September 24th, 2015 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans (1-3, 0-2) return home to the Trojan Bowl Friday night to host the Harlan Cyclones (3-1, 0-1) in a Class 3A District 8 match-up. Atlantic will try to improve on a week 4 loss at ADM that was competitive early but snowballed into a 55-14 loss.  The injury bug has not been kind to Atlantic and Head Coach Eric Waldstein says young players are working hard to fill voids in the lineup.

Atlantic has already lost 2 players to season ending injuries with two other starters questionable for the game this week but Coach Waldstein says morale has stayed good on the team.

Harlan comes in after a tough loss to Dallas Center-Grimes in which a late punt return touchdown was the deciding factor.

You can listen to a lengthy interview with Coach Waldstein at 4:45pm Friday on Trojan Preview on KJAN. Kickoff at the Trojan Bowl is set for 7:00pm.

AHSTW hosts IKM-Manning for important district battle

Sports

September 24th, 2015 by admin

The AHSTW Vikings play host to the IKM-Manning Wolves on the gridiron Friday night at 7:00pm in Avoca.  Both teams come in with hopes of competing for the Class 1A District 1 crown and a win in this game would go a long way to helping that cause.

Both teams come into the game with just one loss on the season and that was to the Audubon Wheelers for both teams.  The Vikings fell in an opening week contest at Audubon 26-21, while the Wolves lost to the Wheelers at home in week two 31-13.

AHSTW Head Coach Davis Pattee feels like his team has improved since that week one game and values the tough competition that game brought.  The Vikings had eight different players score a touchdown in their week 4 win over OA-BCIG and coach Pattee hopes they can continue to use that balance against the toughness of IKM-Manning.

IKM-Manning Head Coach Tom Casey said it’s a challenge to simulate the Vikings offense during practice but he’s teaching his team to play assignment defense.  Casey has been pleased with the play of both his experienced players like Quarterback Kyle Wagner and also players stepping into new roles.

We’ll bring you coverage of the match-up here on KJAN tonight with Pregame at 6:30pm and Kickoff at 7:00pm.  Join Chris Parks and Seth Christensen for the broadcast on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com, on the KJAN mobile app, or watch the game on KJANTV online.  Our football night starts with our High School Pick ‘Em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm.

On Wednesday arrest warrants for Murder in the 1st Degree were issued for 18-year-old Caine Petersen of Council Bluffs, 23-year-old Christopher King of Lincoln, NE and 22-year-old Sarael Duncan of Omaha, NE for their actions in Combs death.  All three men were arrested Wednesday without incident.

An investigation revealed that the three suspects had been to Combs’ apartment in the early morning hours of August 15th, then left. The three men returned sometime after 5:00 am and robbed Combs of some marijuana. As they were fleeing the scene, Combs gave chase and jumped onto or grabbed onto Petersen’s vehicle. As they fled, Combs was thrown from or fell off the vehicle, causing him to strike his head on the street, which ultimately lead to his death.
