For the third time in three years, Iowa Western Football will get a chance to bring the NJCAA Championship Trophy back to Council Bluffs.
The defending National Champ Reivers (11-1) made short work of 3rd ranked Kilgore College (9-2) at Titan Stadium Sunday, combining all three phases of the game to score 28 1st Quarter points.
From there it was simply a matter of time as Iowa Western cruised to a 47-7 victory over the SWJCFC Champs.
The Reivers will rematch with East Mississippi, their first chance to face the Lions since EMCC topped IW in the 2014 title game. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, December 13th at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas.
"It's going to be a good match-up, they've got guys all over the field," said Strohmeier, "We'll have our hands full, but we've got time to game plan and I expect our guys to go out and play the way they just showed they're capable of playing."
ESPN will broadcast the game on ESPNU, while the Reiver Sports Network will carry the audio of the Reivers' call of the game on 89.7 The River in the Council Bluffs / Omaha Metro & on the station's listen live on the 89.7 the River app. Jake Ryan & Russ Nelsen will be calling their 170th game as the voices of Reiver Football. Josh Odson and Tony Boone will join the broadcast booth as well.
