Film sessions this week at Drake have been interesting as the Bulldogs get ready to visit Idaho. The Vandals are coming off hard fought losses to Washington State and Indiana.

Bulldog coach Todd Stepsis. Two weeks ago Drake opened the season with a 56-14 loss at top ranked North Dakota State and while this could become another mismatch, Stepsis feels they are important for the program.

Stepsis says the players enjoy playing the top FCS programs.

(Radio Iowa) – University of Iowa researchers say hormones may play a role in the reason why female athletes are more likely to get hurt than male athletes. A new U-I study finds the female hormone Relaxin contributes to the breakdown of cartilage, increasing the chance of injury. Robert Westermann, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, says hormones often get overlooked when it comes to injury prevention in female athletes.

Westermann says the UIHC orthopedics department is working with OB-GYNs to start looking at ways to regulate hormones in female athletes, such as using birth control pills.

Westermann says a lot of research on injuries is focused on anatomic or muscular patterns, while the effect of hormones is not often top-of-mind.

There is a top five clash in 4A tonight (Friday night), as top ranked Lewis Central hosts fourth ranked Indianola. Lewis Central is 4-0 and this will be the Titan’s fifth ranked opponent.

That’s Lewis Central coach Justin Kammrad who felt a tough schedule last year was a factor in their run to a state championship.

Kammrad expects another tough battle with Indianola.

The Atlantic Trojans are coming off their first win of the season last week at Shenandoah and they are hoping to build on that performance against a tough Ballard Bombers team this week. Both teams come into the game at 1-2 with both putting together their best game last week. The Trojans ran the ball well against Shenandoah last week but were hindered by too many penalties. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said they have been working to clean up those miscues.

Ballard made some adjustments in their win last week over Boone. The Bombers moved Eli Rouse back to the running back spot full time from quarterback and he thrived on the ground. He gobbled up 190 yards and scored 5 touchdowns in the win over the Toreadors. The Bombers were able to control the line of scrimmage against the Trojans last year and Coach Brummer knows they need to match their intensity up front this year.

The Bombers like to come after you on the defensive side with some different pressure packages so Coach Brummer said they have been preparing to make good decisions against that pressure.

Atlantic will also be welcoming back the 2002 State Championship team and will honor them before the game. Coach Brummer said it’s been a pleasure to interact with some of that group and hopes a good crowd comes out to the game.

The Trojans and Bombers kick off at 7:00 p.m. at the Trojan Bowl. The 2002 team recognition will take place at 6:30 p.m. You can hear a full interview with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview at 4:45 p.m. Friday on KJAN.

The Audubon Wheelers will host the Exira-EHK Spartans for an important 8-Player District 10 football game on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The Wheelers come in at 1-3 after a very tough early season schedule. Wheelers Head Coach Sean Birks said the team has learned a lot from those early tough games and he feels like they are improving their understanding of the game.

Exira-EHK is off to a 2-1 start with their lone loss coming in a close battle with West Harrison. Trey Petersen has led the Spartan offense with 587 yards passing with 8 touchdowns and 199 yards on the ground with 3 more scores. Aiden Flathers has rushed for 206 yards and 4 more scores. Coach Birks said the Spartans have shown some good balance.

Audubon has been led by their quarterback as well, Aaron Olsen. He’s thrown for 154 yards and a score and rushed for 415 yards and 7 touchdowns. Coach Birks said they need to make some more plays in the pass game this week. It’s always a good atmosphere when these teams get together and Coach Birks said the way the schedule shapes up makes it a big game this year.

The Spartans and Wheelers will kickoff at 7:00 p.m. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call from Chis Jones Field in Audubon. The night will start with our pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00 p.m. followed by pregame at 6:30 p.m. Tune in on AM 1220, FM 101.1, KJAN.com, and KJANTV.
