The CAM Cougars (4-0) football team hits the road to face the Lenox Tigers (4-0) in a big 8-Man District 7 contest Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN and KJANTV.

The Cougars have been rolling up some big scores and big stats in their 4-0 start, scoring no less than 42 points in their four wins. Lane Spieker has been a do it all scorer on offense with 13 rushing, 1 passing, 2 kickoff return, and 2 punt return touchdowns. CAM Head Coach Barry Bower said Spieker has a great understanding of the game.

Lenox has done a nice job of working a balanced offense. Quarterback Cullen Wood has thrown for 592 yards and 8 touchdowns. Brad Larson has been a dynamic back with 471 yards rushing and 9 touchdowns on the ground and has hauled in three scores receiving. Coach Bower said the Tigers success starts up front with a big line.

The Atlantic Trojans (3-1) football team is excited for a big District road game at Des Moines Christian (2-0) this week. The Trojans are riding a three game win streak and are coming off a gritty 7-0 win over Clarinda last week. Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the team has talked about this being a big game.

Des Moines Christian has been off the past two weeks with some COVID-19 issues amongst the team so it will be interesting to see if the Lions have any rust to shake off. The Lions have a nice quarterback in Jaxon Withers who has completed 47% of his passes and thrown five touchdowns in their two games so far. Coach McDermott said keeping track of him and putting some pressure on will be big keys for the Trojan defense.

Atlantic has had some mixed results on offense. They have shown some great flashes at times but penalties and turnovers last week made it tough to put complete drives together. Coach McDermott said they will need to clean some of those mistakes up but he is confident they are on the right track.

Listen to the full interview with Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview Friday afternoon at 4:45 p.m. on KJAN. The Trojans and the Lions are set for a 7:00 p.m. kickoff in Des Moines on Friday night.
