Bondurant was up 57-0 with a few minutes left in the 1st half. Then 2nd,3rd ,4th string played. 57-24 over Saydel. That is where I was last night.

They're barely holding onto 4A status anymore, and they have been suffering because of the drops in enrollment.My former high school, Newton, used to be a contender nearly every year. Now, they are the bottom feeders of all 4A teams. They got beat by CB Lincoln last night 52-17. It's actually a bit sad because Newton was such a football oriented community.
Dubuque Hempstead 38, Iowa City West 21 :yes:
I also learned that once a team is up by 50 the clock doesn't stop. I just didn't expect a running clock in the first half.
True. Newton used to be a powerhouse, smash mouth football team. they just dont have the numbers in that town to compete at 4-A anymore. Waukee replaced them in the CIML and Newton is on the way out of 4-AMy former high school, Newton, used to be a contender nearly every year. Now, they are the bottom feeders of all 4A teams.

You mean besides by the school?Does anyone know how the Ankeny sports will be split next year with the addition of a new high school in that city?

I think both schools are going to be on the low end of 4A at the start.I'm wondering about if one school will remain in the CIML or if they will have to move down to 3A or some other classification?

Class is designated by school size, not power. If they dropped to 3A in football, they'd fair a helluva lot better than they are now.It's nothing more than a pride thing. Dropping to 3A would be admitting that you can no longer hang with the best the state has to offer. EVERY other sport has dropped to 3A. I REALLY miss the days of Newton having some of the best if not the best rushers in the state. It was exciting to go to the games growing up and watching some of the best football in the state. It honestly feels like a part of me has died. I hope that a few more large employers get back into Newton to increase the population and try and get themselves back into where we were just 5 years ago.
