Class 1A Season Outlook

Why is everyone calling West Branch young? Sounds like an excuse. They are currently playing a senior QB and their top running back is a junior. Most of their offense appears to be juniors and seniors with sophomores only playing a small role according to the stats.

Regina must be really young then. Out of the 9 players who have carried the ball this year, only one is a senior.
The QB is a junior. The leading receiver is a sophomore. The leading rusher is a sophomore.

Hurricane Helene

Dry air has been overcome now and a distinct eye has formed.

Yeah for the first time she has wrapped deep convection all the way around her center. If she doesn’t ingest anymore dry air I’m afraid she’s going to be going through rapid intensification right as she’s coming ashore like Michael did. If that happens, since she’s moving faster than Michael did, inland areas of southern and central Georgia (maybe north GA too) could see their worst hurricane effects in the last century or more.

Ok then Regina can be really young if that makes you feel better.

Hurricane Helene

Only possible saving grace so far is she hasn't gotten fully organized yet, so she hasn't blown up into a Cat 4/5 monster because of that. Still having some dry air and unorganized eyewall issues. Hopefully those continue and she doesn't reach her upper potential.

Regardless of exact strength at landfall, with her size she's still going to cause a lot of flooding issues and inland wind issues.

Right, Wilton plays Regina Week 8. Wilton looks ahead to Regina showdown loses to WB in West Branch
Not sure on that one. But, hey, I'd take it.
Wilton has 75% of their starters back for the third consecutive season. They've got exponentially better each year.

As mentioned, WB is a very young team (except on the OL). They could be better in 2025 than 2024, I think.

Week 5 Games to Watch

A few others I see

CR Kennedy vs City High: Two teams that need the game if they want to make the playoffs. The loser will struggle to make it.
Waukee NW at Waterloo West: I think Waterloo West would actually be leading the RPI according to the CR Gazette, but NW has played the much tougher schedule. How good is Waterloo West?
West Branch vs Beckman: This game will bring a lot of clarity to who the third best team is in the district, Beckman has improved but how much?

I also think there are a few games that you have up above that will show that some of the teams are pretenders playing an easy schedule to this point.

There are b!tch moves,

This is horseshyt

There is no surprise that all of this is because of NIL money. Supposedly Sluka didn’t receive as much money as he was promised and recently was offered more from another school. UNLV isn’t known to offer much NIL money which is one thing, which Sluka knew, but who and how much did someone offer a quarterback who is completing 43.8% of his passes? That isn’t known right now, but there is no way that he was offered enough to make his decision sensible and morally just (LOLOLOL). 😆

Wait... you (this guy in your link) write that he didn't receive as much money as he was promised (I think that is called Breach of Contract); THEN, you give him shyt on ONE QB rating stat? If he is only completing a low percentage, then why the hell do you care so much that he's bailing (like UNLV has done on their word?)? He is 27th of 133 in QBR in the nation and his team is 3-0. What if he gets a season ending injury next week, on top of UNLV has stiffed him what they said they would pay him. I don't get the outrage at all.

Sounds like a QB UNLV should stick to their word... speaking of 'morally just'.
43.8%?
Iowa out hunting for an improvement at QB?
