It’s the final home game of the 2022 season today for the Central College football team.

The Dutch come in at 5-3 overall and an even 3-3 in the American Rivers Conference, and they’ll host a Luther squad with a 1-7, 1-5 record.

The Norse have a first-year head coach, and Central coach Jeff McMartin says that Luther is willing to dive into the bag of tricks to give themselves the best chance to win.

“You’ll see onside kicks. When they go to punt, their quarterback is their punter and he just runs around and if he can throw it or run it, he will, and if he can’t, he’ll eventually punt it. They’re going to throw out all the stops – they’re going to go for it on fourth downs and they’re going to go for two after touchdowns. They’re going to cut it loose.”

Today’s game kicks off at 1:00 at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium in Pella. Trevor Castle and Don DeWaard will hit the air for pregame at 12:35 on 92.1 KRLS, the free KNIA/KRLS app and CentralDutchNetwork.com.
