Iowa Boys HS State Basketball

Girls still are I believe. If they aren't, they are on Youtube free of charge.
What was the boys on back in the 90s? I'm looking it up on YT and can't tell what actual network it is. The guy who did the local Hok games (did a couple of ISU's non-con games this year) is an announcer.
It was typically a pretty consistent coverage style iirc. The Barn was old and all but it had a certain 'feel' even on TV that Wells Fargo just doesn't project imo.
Those games were produced by a local outfit, and then it was pushed out to stations around the state -- WHO or KDSM, KCAU, KCRG, WOC, etc.
Not sure if it'll be the same for the BOYS basketball championship, but the BOYS wrestling finals were on 28.2 Charge! I could not believe it when they told me to go there, but sure enough. Watched the whole night of state championship wrestling on 28.2 (in eastern Iowa). Kind of hoping the IHSAA will put basketball there too.
The girls didn't start with PBS until 2014. Before that, they were on a similar statewide "network" to the boys -- WHO, KCAU, KCRG, KWWL, and so on.
Lol, DCG’s strength of schedule (20) is ranked higher than kennedy’s (22). Kennedy is just better.
Bound is a joke.. Most coaches use use BC Moore computer rankings.
DCG played 8 4A schools it looks like this year.

IPTV aired wrestling for many years until 2002. The Iowa High School Sports Network started in 2005/06. They had the rights to both boys and girls sports to start out. The boys have never had a contract with IPTV to televise football or basketball according to Chris Cuellar of the association in an interview with Chris Williams last fall. The girls started with IPTV in 2014. Before 2014 IPTV did televise volleyball in the late 80's and 90's but that was all IPTV televised for girls sports until 2014.

For many, many, many years … my mom loved watching the girls’ state tourney on TV every March, as far back as the 70s for sure.
Bound is what the state uses for its official stats.
DCG is 7-4 against 4A schools, including the game today.
CR Kennedy is 19-0 against 4A schools, including today's game.
DCG plays in a conference with 3-4A schools (Indianola, Norwalk, and Indianola), 3-3A schools, and a 2A school. They are guaranteed eight games against lower-level competition—the three 4A schools in the Little Hawkeye rank 41st, 46th, and 48th out of 48.
CR Kennedy plays in a conference with one 3A school (Western Dubuque); the rest are 4A. They are guaranteed two conference games against lower-level competition.
Correct. No recruiting from France, Mali, Mexico...(Looking at you Grandview Christian.) All those kids at North Linn grew up there and have played sports with one another since the 3rd grade. Northern Linn County. Walker, Troy Mills and Coggon. About 35 minutes North of Cedar Rapids.
