Yeah, that's going to be a tough matchup to say the least. SEP, Dowling and Ankeny seem to have really separated and are considerably better than the rest of the class from what I've seen. Seems like a running clock early type of game. Hope not, but that seems likely.

The score looked bad vs. Johnston, but they really were pretty evenly matched. I think they were -4 in turnovers.

It will be interesting next year when Ames' QB (coach's kid) and top WR are gone. They really lean on throwing the ball a ton. Their backup QB is a really good jack of all trades type of guy but I don't think he's thrown much.

Got to a really good 8 man game last week. They are always wild but SE Warren beat East Mills with a double reverse flea flicker. 5 of the 8 Se Warren players in the field touched the ball on the play. Crazy.
I'd like to see a clip of that.

who has the longest drive Friday? Hull to Parkersburg? That’s gotta be well over 4 hours on a bus, one way.
One of the all timers was Decorah driving to Winterset last year. 4 hr 10 mins I believe

We must haved watched different games. The game I watched Johnston seemed dominant.

I don’t know, it was a strange game. Ames outgained Johnston 402-220, but Johnston was way more sound in special teams, and did a good job giving up short passes and runs but nothing big. They forced Ames to try to string together drives, which they couldn’t do without making a mistake at some point.

If I remember right Ames got into a couple of 3rd and 20+ a couple of times.

Pleasant Valley has a 4 star DE that is committed to Michigan State that is going to miss the game vs WDM Valley.

Linn-Mar beat Prairie last week and now have to play there again this week.
I had to officiate a Linn-Mar game this year and they have a TE/DE who is a pretty big dude. Looked him up and he may be getting some slight interest from Iowa State, but looks like it's more FCS schools right now

Pretty crappy to make Indianola and Bondurant play 1st round when they were in the same district.

As a 40 year old person it's incomprehensible to me that Bondurant and Indianola are in the same district

I don't expect much from CR Wash tonight. Lost to Xavier earlier in the year 38-0. Due to injuries they have some young talent getting playing time lately. At least one freshman starting on D.

There is nothing better than watching my 3 stop light town and kings of the southside whoop up on bigger schools. Took down Indianola, Bondurant, Lincoln and only lost to #1 CB by 7. Very impressive year for us.

This Valley team is passionless on offense. Most in the district didn't think they were even going to make the playoffs, something like a 30 year streak snapped. WMD Valley's days of sports dominance are coming to a close as districts in the metro continue to grow.
The DMR high school sports reporter picked Valley in an upset. The DMR thinks Pleasant Valley is overrated, and they really haven't played anyone all year.
