The Atlantic volleyball team is gearing up for the 2020 season with some higher expectations than the past. The Trojans are coming off a 6-36 campaign last year that included some steps forward and some close losses. Atlantic Head Coach Michelle Blake said they are just excited to get out on the court.
This team brings back a large senior class that will be counted on to lead the way. Haley Rasmussen is back and coming off a season with 580 assists and 31 blocks. Alyssa Derby returns after leading the team with 179 kills. Caroline Pellett also returns and was second on the squad last year with 122 kills. A number of other key contributors are back, along with a strong sophomore class that is expected to contribute. Coach Blake said the experience on the team is deep.
The Trojans were able to get off the schneid and get a conference match win last year against Creston but they came up just short in a number of other matches throughout the year. Coach Blake said the team has been vocal about changing that narrative this season.
The Trojans open up the season at the AHSTW tournament on Saturday. Listen to the full interview with Coach Blake on our Saturday Morning Coaches Show at 8:30 a.m. this Saturday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — During this most atypical of training camps, when a slow ramp-up replaced any preseason games, the Chiefs have found themselves going first-team offense against first-team defense quite a bit. The result? Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s bunch are forced to get ready for the opener Sept. 10 against Houston while facing one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL, which in turn is trying to shred the Chiefs defense as Patrick Mahomes and the rest of them are fine-tuning themselves.
The 2020 High School Football Season gets into full swing this Friday night with Week 1 play. We’ll have an 8-Man District 8 contest on KJAN and KJANTV as the Audubon Wheelers play host to the Exira-EHK Spartans. Our broadcast night starts with our weekly pick ’em show once again “Who’s Gonna Win?” at 6:00 p.m. We’ll follow with the Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame Show at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Chis Jones Field in Audubon.
You can listen to games on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at KJAN.com You can also watch the game on out live video stream on KJANTV. Find the KJANTV channel link under the KJAN Video Network on the home page at KJAN.com
The 2020 High School football season will be a little different with 7 regular season weeks and then all teams starting the playoffs in what would of been Week 8. Our broadcast schedule has typically always been to cover all of the Atlantic Trojans road games and cover other KJAN area teams when they are home. Due to the altered schedule this season we will be mixing it up each week. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the season we will be announcing our next broadcast game at the end of each Friday night broadcast.
We are also excited about the partnerships we have developed with a number of area school districts that will provide live video streams of many sporting events throughout the season. Our partnerships include CAM with the CAM Cougar Channel, Exira-EHK with Spartan Media, and Griswold with GrizTigerVision. Student run broadcasts will be produced on these channels under the KJAN Video Network and we are excited to give the public an option to watch games online. We will be promoting the games available to you to watch on a weekly basis and you can visit each channel to see upcoming broadcasts and watch the archives.
We hope you enjoy our broadcasts and look forward to some fun football Friday nights with you on the radio.

(A-P) Iowa’s athletic department is working to secure a $75 million loan to cushion the blow of losing a projected $100 million in revenue because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Athletic director Gary Barta said the Hawkeyes had built a strong financial foundation before the coronavirus forced cancellation of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and led to the Big Ten’s postponement of football until after Jan. 1. Now the athletic department faces a $60-$75 million deficit.
Iowa announced initial budget reductions in July, and after the Big Ten pulled the plug on fall football earlier this month the Hawkeyes announced Friday they would drop men’s gymnastics, men’s tennis, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving.
Barta said there are no plans to eliminate other sports and figures it will take about 15 years for the athletic department to pay off the loan. He said he had a “guestimate” for how much money Iowa could bring in from post-Jan. 1 football, but he declined to disclose the figure.
