Class A
North Linn 28
Mason City Newman 14

Lynx could be a tough out because of their defense.

West Hancock’s defense looked really good. Better coached defense than a lot of college defenses.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Helluva game between Johnston and IC High. IC shanked a 31 yarder to win at the buzzer and then lost in OT.

 

[BigJCy]

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Got to feel bad for the Iowa City QB … if he doesnt fumble he probably scores the TD to force a 2nd OT.

[KidSilverhair]

Pretty unreal how top eastern Iowa teams rack up nice records and then fold against even mediocre DSM area teams. I swear Kennedy thinks they're going to win it every year and then gets beat the first time they play a central Iowa team.

They were 10-0 last year and thought they were cruising to the Dome until they crapped the bed against City High at home in the 2nd round.

Bosco led 10-0 at half. All N-F after that.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Not sure what state this is from from the guy you posted it I think it's NJ but wow.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Can we just get a Grundy-Britt best of 3 in A? No need to play the other games.

 

[Tailg8er]

I have $100K on SE Warren, make it happen - Hopefully you are picking up what I am laying down because I'd hate to have to come break your Thumbs.

Shiiiiit, didn't see this till now. To be fair, I didn't really have any close calls that would have impacted the game.

Fremont-Mills got up 24-12 by half (6 of those were 2 point conversions, SE Warren was 0-2 on 2 pointers at that point), then went up 30-12. SE Warren fought back after that to make it a game, but just couldn't score at the end. They had a deep ball all but caught inside the 10 but the defender jarred it loose. I don't see F-M beating Lenox next week anyway.

You will be getting a visit from a couple guys named Tony, they won't say much, they'll just do what needs to be done. Don't cause a scene and it'll be over fast.

No they don't.

 

[madguy30]

They really should keep things regional as much as possible until the semifinals.
