The Atlantic Trojans (3-5, 2-2) football team will finish their 2019 season with a road trip to face the Red Oak Tigers (0-8, 0-4). Atlantic is looking to build off a strong performance last week in a 55-25 win over Shenandoah. Tyler Moen ripped off 523 yards and 5 rushing scores, along with 2 defensive touchdowns in that win. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said that performance was part of a great team effort.

Red Oak has struggled with low numbers combined with injuries this season. Coach McDermott said despite that the Tigers have two strong running backs with experience that the Trojans will need to slow down.

The Trojans and Tigers are set for a 7:00pm kickoff on Friday night. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call of the game on KJAN with the Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame Show starting at 6:30pm. Catch the game on-air, online, or watch on KJANTV. Listen to our 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 also hear more from Coach McDermott on “Trojan Preview” at 4:45pm Friday on KJAN.
