The Exira-EHK Spartans and CAM Cougars were both big winners in week one 8-man football.  The Cougars went on the road and pounded out a win against rival Adair-Casey 66-8 while the Spartans stayed home and forged a win against Nishnabotna 35-6.

Both teams would like to build on that week 1 success but it will be a tough task for both teams.  Exira-EHK Head Coach Tom Petersen spoke with KJAN after their win against Nishnabotna and he expects CAM to be a tough opponent.

“We are going to have to get better in a hurry. Next week we go down to CAM and Joe has a good ball team this year. He has some bigger guys and some experience so we are going to have our hands full.” said Petersen.

The Spartans will rely on Senior Brady Hansen at the Quarterback spot whom will look to build off a strong performance against the Blue Devils. Hansen threw for 101 yards and two scores and also rushed for 101 yards and another score.  Coach Petersen knows he has the experience to lead.

“He has been there, Brady did it a year ago.  He played, came in for Drew Peppers and did a great job.  He throws a great ball and he’s got a great really good idea and concept of what our offense is trying to do. We’ll be fine with what Brady does, he’s a great Quarterback.” said Petersen.

The Spartans will have to deal with CAM Senior Quarterback Drew Ticknor.  Ticknor threw for 77 yards and 3 touchdowns while also rushing for 48 yards and a score in that week one win over the Bombers.

Exira EHK and CAM are set to kickoff at 7:00pm tonight in Anita.

The Atlantic Trojans will travel to Denison tonight looking for their first win of the season after an opening week loss to Clarinda 34-14. Atlantic Head Coach Eric Waldstein took away some positives from the first game of the year and thinks progress is being made.

“We’re much improved compared to where we were a year ago. And for the most part, probably 90% of the time, we are doing everything right. It’s just a matter of taking care of the little things.” Waldstein said.

Atlantic faces a Denison team that fell in week one 44-7 to Harlan.  Monarch Quarterback Brandon Brotherton was sacked 4 times in that game and Coach Waldstein said the Trojans will try to keep the pressure on him.

“Yeah that’s what we do as a defense.  We like to bring pressure and bring man coverage. Everybody that we played against last year, they know what to expect from us and that’s what your going to get is man coverage and lots of pressure.  Hopefully we are able to take advantage of some of their lack of experience on offense and make some big plays on D.” said Waldstein

Denison Head Coach Chad Van Kley thought his defense played well at times last week in short field situations and he wants them to stay disciplined this week against Atlantic.

“They have some people that played last year. They were a little young last year, they have some guys that bring experience back.  They have some athletes… that when the ball is in their hands in open space they will make some things happen…Our job is to try to contain it. We have to try to minimize their open field and really rally to the football and be disciplined in our defensive approach to them.” said Van Kley.

You can hear more from both coaches during our pregame coverage starting and 6:30pm and you can also hear an extended interview with Coach Waldstein on Trojan Preview at 4:45pm.  The Trojans and the Monarchs kick off tonight at 7:30pm on KJAN.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — C.J. Beathard has been waiting for his chance to be Iowa’s starting quarterback for years. He’s getting his wish this season. Beathard will make just his second career start — and his first at Kinnick Stadium — when the Hawkeyes host FCS school Illinois State on Saturday.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Chase Daniel threw a touchdown pass and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the St. Louis Rams 24-17 to finish unbeaten in the preseason on Thursday night. The Chiefs (4-0) were unbeaten in the preseason for the first time since 1969, the season the franchise won its lone Super Bowl title. The Rams (0-4) were winless for the first time since 2002 and are 2-10 the past three preseasons.

Tavon Austin had the most electrifying play of the game, reversing field on a 43-yard scamper after a short catch that set up St. Louis’ first touchdown. The Rams played most of their regulars for two series, although they were down to fourth string at running back, and the Chiefs rested all of their starters.
