    Giving both teams too much credit. Harlan is a good scrappy team, with better skill players IMO than Xavier. LC were not slouches either.

    3rd Round Playoff Games

    If you don't win your district, its always going to suck, no matter how many other wins you have. At least that's held true this year. One of Pella's State champ years they had to go to Davenport for the quarterfinals even though they had the better record, but both teams were District champs...

    3a playoff games

    Yes, I think there are few very "over-rated" teams in most top 10s. I also think its been a tough year for bcmoore with injuries and players missing at times. The downside is depending on how the State pairs up teams in the next round we could get some early battles that possibly should have...

    3a playoff games

    There's a good possibility that DCG doesn't get by Carlisle. DCG has had multiple players out and has limped through the season just barely beating below average teams. Carlisle has been on a roll.

    The pods! The pods!

    DCG lost their Sr Quarterback after the Pella game and they lost a potential AllState running back during the ADM game. Not sure if either will be back, but definitely a reason for offense being less productive after Pella game. At least that's what I'm seeing on VB.

    3a pairings for playoffs

    Yes, the Wdub QB is a great athlete. It will be a strong Def team that takes them out, if they go down. That is Xavier's strength this year IMO. Always have some great athletes in the LB corp, and this year they have a D1 LB. Yes Xavier always reloads, or recruits!.......Kidding, just...

    3a pairings for playoffs

    were you referring to Xavier in your previous post, or Pella making the dome? Both have a tough path, but not sure its decided. Both are playoff experienced teams that find ways to win. I thought NS choked in the playoffs last year. Inde is a ? to me with their schedule, although it is...

    3a pairings for playoffs

    I think this is the craziest phenomena, probably would not happen again for years if ever. Only 1 team on Inde's schedule had a winning record. It would be very difficult to hand select a schedule for Inde and get these results. Unfortunately, not in Inde's control, but I think this RPI...

    3a pairings for playoffs

    Wow, what a way to talk your team down. None of the Pella starters played a down in the 4th quarter, otherwise it would have been running clock and shut out.....guess grinnell must be below average. The "average" Pella defense held Hunter to 24yds rushing in the 1st half and a lion's share of...

    3A over a 1A school by 7pts is a "good" win?

    lewis central vs xavier

    Not taking away from Xavier's front, but I don't think there was anything creative in Xavier's run scheme. 2 options Stovie or Schulte. With all the hype about LC's D, I was expecting more. (As I was the previous year with Solon). Both are good running backs, but neither IMO at the level of...

    lewis central vs xavier

    Duggan has frame, speed and arm over Schulte. So he has the better potential. LCs linebackers made Schulte look great last night. I was surprised how vacant that next level was. Both Schulte and Stovie are patient runners, but it seemed as if the LB level of LC evaporated every time Xavier...

    Semifinal Matchups

    I also think that this being LC's first game in the dome will have an impact. Xavier is battle tested in here and they have been in very close games in the past here. I think that Duggan has great potential but this will be a first for him and the pressure will be on. Harlan slowed them down...

    Xavier/Pella not a blow out. Again crappy alignments for playoffs. Now you have two teams in the semis that got clocked by the other teams on the other side.

    Quarterfinal Coverage Nov. 2

    Watched the LC game online. Xavier all around better team. If they can limit Duggan/big plays, which they are capable of, they win. LC Defense not very good IMO. Harlan started picking apart their secondary in the second half, had too many drops or they would have made it a game. Harlan...

    Quarterfinal Matchups

    Also, by chance, those schools that were under the 4A cutoff had some strong teams this year. There were some others whose teams were not as strong, that no one is complaining about such as Newton and Waterloo East. I'm OK with bringing competition in and creating new rivalries. Pella v...

    lewis central vs xavier

    With the dome on that field, I can't imagine it holding water. It looks like it drops 2ft from center to sideline. Looking at Decorah's stats, I don't think they have a chance. No passing threat. Xavier LBs too good to put up the run yards needed to keep up with Xavier's O.
