The Coffeyville Red Ravens football team returns to Veterans Memorial Stadium this Saturday to host the Iowa Central Tritons in Week 5 of the NJCAA season.

 

Coffeyville is coming off a 31-30 victory over rival Independence and will look to put together four strong quarters after a stellar first half and slower second half against the Pirates last week.

 

Head coach Nick Dobler was pleased with how his team jumped on Independence early and carried confidence into halftime, but says the Red Ravens left some opportunities on the table by the end of the game.

 

The Coffeyville defense made several big stops and forced another interception against Independence, while redshirt freshman Sean Oliver was named Defensive Player of the Week after recording eight tackles and two tackles for loss. Dobler says Oliver’s work ethic has played a big role in his standout performances.

 

Game time has been moved to 10 a.m. Saturday as the teams look to beat the heat. Coffeyville has a chance to get back to .500, while Iowa Central will look for its third straight win. Pregame coverage begins at 9:30 a.m. on US 98.
