Atlantic excited for home game against Red Oak

Sports

October 8th, 2020 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans (5-1) football team will finally get to play a home game in the last week of the regular season against the Red Oak Tigers (0-6). Due to adjustments to the shortened season schedule and construction delays on the renovation at the Trojan Bowl, Atlantic wasn’t able to get on their home field until this week. It’s Homecoming for the Trojans as well and Head Coach Mike McDermott said the guys are really excited to get out on their new field.

Atlantic comes in to the game riding a 5 game win streak and they locked up a District title in the win over Shenandoah last week. The Trojans will face off against a very young Red Oak team this Friday that has struggled but gradually improved. The Tigers have seven of eleven offensive starters as sophomores or younger. Tigers Head Coach Ryan Gelber said despite the lack of wins, his team really has gotten better each time out.

Atlantic has had some success in the ground game with Bodie Johnson up the middle and Korey Parrott around the edges. Coach Gelber said the Trojans are gonna be tough to slow down.

One thing that has bothered Atlantic the past few weeks are penalties and Coach McDermott wants to see his team clean some things up as they prepare for the playoffs.

We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and Tigers from the Trojan Bowl on KJAN. You can hear a full interview with Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview  at 4:45 p.m. We’ll pick the evening back up with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by The Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame Show at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at kjan.com. You will also be able to watch the game on KJANTV!

East Mills will face Pattonsburg, MO on the gridiron this week

Sports

October 8th, 2020 by admin

The East Mills Wolverines have found a new opponent on the football field for this week. They will host Pattonsburg, MO on Friday night in Malvern. The Pattonsburg Panthers play 8-Man football in Class 1 District 3 in Missouri and hold a 4-2 record so far this season.

East Mills was looking for a new opponent after Griswold had to cancel their trip to Malvern due to low numbers with player illness and contact tracing. Pattonsburg was in the same situation with their game against Northeast Nodaway being cancelled.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — New Iowa starting quarterback Spencer Petras grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and loves the Grateful Dead. When he’s not trying to recruit teammates to be a Deadhead like him, he’s preparing to take over for three-year starter Nate Stanley. With no spring practice because of the pandemic, Petras and his receivers went to local high school fields to work on passing drills and build chemistry. Petras has seen only mop-up duty the past two seasons, but the receiving corps returns 95 percent of its production from 2019. The Hawkeyes open Oct. 24 at Purdue.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills are the top four teams in the latest AP Pro32 poll. That’s the same as last week. All four teams are 4-0. The Baltimore Ravens slipped a spot to round out the top five. Next are the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 6 and the Tennessee Titans at No. 7. Those teams had been scheduled to play each other last week but the game was postponed because of the Titans’ COVID-19 outbreak.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are in a precarious spot after learning that a player from the Patriots, whom they played on Monday night, tested positive for COVID-19. Perhaps the biggest concern lies with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who spent about 30 seconds face-to-face after the game speaking with New England defensive back Stephon Gilmore, the player that reportedly tested positive Wednesday. The Raiders, their opponent this Sunday, also had to place a player on the COVID-19 list for players that test positive or who have been in close contact with someone else that tested positive.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays are up 2-1 in their AL Division Series after blasting three more home runs in an 8-4 trouncing of the New York Yankees. Kevin Kiermaier provided the big blow with a three-run homer off losing pitcher Masahiro Tanaka to break a 1-1 tie. Randy Arozarena (ah-roh-zah-RAY’-nah) added a solo shot to chase Tanaka an inning later, and Michael Perez smacked a two-run shot against Chad Green in the sixth.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is the first player in major league history to homer in each of his team’s first five games of a postseason. Stanton did it with his fourth home run of the Yankees’ ALDS against the Rays, a two-run blast in the eighth. He has 10 RBIs in the series.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Oakland Athletics forced a Game 4 in their AL Division Series by downing the Houston Astros, 9-7. Chad Pinder supplied the Athletics’ fifth and final home run of the day, a three-run blast in the seventh. Tommy La Stella, Mark Canha (KAN’-ah), Matt Olson and Marcus Semien also homered for the A’s, who went ahead on Sean Murphy’s sacrifice fly in the eighth.

HOUSTON (AP) — Rookie Ian Anderson combined with four relievers on a three-hitter as the Atlanta Braves blanked the Miami Marlins, 2-0. Anderson struck out eight over 5 2/3 innings before the Atlanta bullpen tossed no-hit ball the rest of the way. Dansby Swanson and Travis d’Arnaud (dahr-NOH’) both homered for the second straight day to help the Braves take a 2-0 lead in the NL Division Series.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers can finish up a three-game sweep on Thursday following a 6-5 win over the San Diego Padres. Corey Seager delivered three hits for Los Angeles, including a two-run double in the third inning to put the Dodgers ahead to stay. Cody Bellinger added a solo shot and winning pitcher Clayton Kershaw sailed until Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer hit back-to-back homers in the sixth.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Saturday’s game between Missouri and No. 17 LSU has been moved to Missouri’s home stadium and will be played in the morning because of Hurricane Delta. The Southeastern Conference announced the move on Wednesday. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said in a statement that moving the game was in the best interest of safety for Louisiana. The game will be played at 11 a.m. Central time in Columbia, Missouri, after being previously scheduled for Saturday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The conference is monitoring the hurricane’s path and communicating with schools about its potential impact on other sports.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Winston Reid scored his first MLS goal in the 67th minute and Sporting Kansas City beat the Chicago Fire 1-0. Sporting Kansas City has won two straight matches. The Fire have lost two in a row. Goalkeepers Bobby Shuttleworth of Chicago and Tim Melia of Sporting KC each finished with two saves.
