The Atlantic Trojans (1-3) football team will travel to Carroll tonight to start district play against the Kuemper Catholic Knights (1-3). Both teams have endured a tough non-district schedule and are excited to start play in Class 2A District 9 tonight. Atlantic is coming off a home loss last week to Harlan 49-13 and the Knights are coming off a 37-7 loss to Denison-Schleswig. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the team is ready for a chance to hit the reset button to start district play.

The Knights are led by Quarterback Cole Collison on offense, who has accounted for 6 touchdowns this season. Collison is an experienced senior that has been an effective passer in the past, but Coach McDermott said the Trojans will really need to be ready for what he can do with his feet.

Atlantic will try to get the ground game going, led by Tyler Moen who has gained 581 yards rushing and 7 touchdowns. Kuemper Catholic Head Coach Chad Klein said stopping the run will be a focus for them.

The Knights have a force on defense as well with Blaise Gunnerson, the Nebraska recruit at defensive end. Coach Klein said he is a big presence for the Knights defense.

We’ll have coverage of the game tonight on KJAN. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on-air, online, and on the web app. You can also watch the game tonight on KJANTV. The Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame will start at 6:30pm, with kickoff at 7:00pm. Catch our weekly pick ’em show “Who’s Gonna Win?” at 6:00pm and stay tuned after the game for the Iowa High School Scoreboard show from 10:00pm-11:30pm. You can hear a full rundown with Coach McDermott on “Trojan Preview” this afternoon at 4:45pm on KJAN.
