    1A State Tournament

    I loved seeing Montezuma win this game. Hometown kids who worked their tails off. No transfers. You could see the emotion right after winning it for their town. Great football team. These guys play multiple sports. Shearer might complain and talk but he backs it up. He plays hard. Don’t mind...

    2A State Tournament

    One year private schools don't do well at state. 1/8 of the 2A field was private schools....which is how it should be because that is about the ratio of private to public schools.

    1A and 2A Brackets

    Yes, Alburnett over-achieved. They also won two games out at state. The argument that they only play tri-rivers schools to get to state isn't true. Springville didn't play a tri rivers school at all this post-season??? Prince of Peace beat Dunkerton to get there. Alburnett beat WACO to get...

    1A and 2A Brackets

    North Linn has done the things to get to state. They made it through their substate and won every game in front of them. The top 7 coaches ranked them how they saw them. They can schedule whoever they like and play in whatever conference they choose. They can run the score up on these bad...

    1A and 2A Brackets

    Not that tough of a spot. When 3 or 4 of your top rotation players are transfers that always helps.

    1A and 2A Brackets

    Monticello & Camanche playing each other is disappointing. They've already played twice. I think both are better than North Linn. ( I know they aren't undefeated) but both of these teams have a loss to a 4A school. Takes some gumption to schedule that. While North Linn only played 1A schools...

    2A district pairings.

    North Linn gets a cake walk to state. Their record against 2A teams this season was 0-0. Rewarding them for playing an easy schedule. Teams like Camanche, Beckman and Monticello schedule 4A teams and are penalized for playing tough games. Should tell those schools to join smaller 1A conferences...

    1A district pairings.

    District 7 is a tough one. Cal-Wheat 7-7 Highland 13-2 Hillcrest Academy 6-6 Lisbon 7-7 Lone Tree 10-4 Midland 3-11 Morningstar 8-1 North Cedar 8-5 Springville 12-3 Only one team below .500

    Possible Teams Dropping or Going up?

    No one is arguing that it is wrong to make extra sacrifices and do things better for your child. If sports aren't the reason for going to a private school then this isn't an issue. The playing field isn't level. Private schools have advantages in SES and controlled enrollment over public...

    Who's your 2A title favorites?

    Does anyone know why North Linn stays in the Tri-Rivers? They are the largest school and the only 2A boys team. The closest game they have had so far this year is 57 points. They just keep running through these teams. I would love to see them compete in the RVC. They are good enough and will be...

    Possible Teams Dropping or Going up?

    True, if you can't afford to go to a private school or you're not good enough to get a "scholarship" you must go elsewhere.

    Possible Teams Dropping or Going up?

    I am from a neighboring district and have heard rumors of this as well.

    8M Semi-Finals

    Great game and game plan from DB throughout. Score doesn't show it well but Turkey was better than that. Had 3 straight drives stall inside the 10 yard line to start and had costly fumbles along with their QB getting injured.

    Possible Teams Dropping or Going up?

    There is no point in debating it on here. Small town schools have complained about the unfair playing field for years. There are obvious advantages private schools have over public but until the state does something, private schools will continue to dominate despite only being a small percentage...

    2019-20 Predictions

    Easton Valley had a 20 win team last year in a tough conference that sent 4 teams to the state tournament last year and 2 to the finals. They didn't lose anyone. Will be a very tough team.

    Possible Teams Dropping or Going up?

    Don Bosco has been to the dome almost every year since dropping down. I am not saying they don't work hard and don't have a great coaching staff, because they do. I can argue a lot of school that have the same things you're talking about but don't have the same success. Why has their talent been...

    Possible Teams Dropping or Going up?

    If you don't think that Bosco and some schools should jump up then you don't watch close enough. Bosco has 81 kids and probably all 81 play sports. They have no kids on IEP's or students that don't do any extra curricular and if they do it is few a far between. If a public school has 80 kids...

    Which bracket would you want to be in to make the dome?

    I would not want to be in Don Bosco or Turkey Valley's bracket. I think they are the best two teams in the state. Eastern Iowa football has usually dominated at the dome. If they don't have to play each other at the dome then they would both make the finals.
