NE Iowa is Sumner-Fred, Tripoli and Oelwein I believe and Central Iowa is Baxter, Colfax-Mingo, Collins-Maxwell, West Marshall and Colo-NESCO.

Regina dominated that game and should have easily won. WB only had a couple of shots on goal and chased the ball all game. Coach refuses to address finishing in the final third, and it continues to cost them.
80% possession and 15+ shots doesn't win games, goals do.
Score isn't posted yet, but WB won 2-1 with 13 seconds left in the 2nd overtime period.

Not a great deal for Hudson getting jumped by West Sioux but it does make things easier for the state to make brackets. Its always tough to play the same team three times but you play who is in front of you. Hudson hasn't face GR when they have been full strength so we shall see.
They got a good draw. Probably lucky they didn't have to play NFV. Most likely wouldn't have ended up with a 1 if they had lost. Not sure what to expect out of GR. I've been told they haven't played with a full team for the majority of the year. I've only been able to catch 2 matches as the girls usually have the same schedule.
I really think west liberty screwed a lot of things up. They should not be a 1 seed this year.
Mediapolis avenges 2 of their 3 regular season losses beating Danville (6-2) and Notre Dame (4-1) in the Southeast Iowa Super Conference tournament to claim the title in back to back years. Also, beat Hillcrest (3-0) at the the end of the regular season. Playing really well right now.
They lost to Burlington to open the season in double OT, the Danville loss was on the 13th or 14th penalty kick and the ND loss (2-1) was missing a couple key players including leading goal scorer.

We’ll find out Wednesday. I think they have a shot, but will take their best game of the year. Qualifier: I know less than nothing about West Branch soccer. Drew will give his best coaching job though and have them ready and fired up.

Congrats to Western Christian for winning the district again. Really thought this was our year to take them down. I’m not one to typically complain about refs, but realistically I think we could’ve and should’ve won 3-1 if not for bad calls (missed offside on their winning goal, missed handball in the box on one of their defenders, wrongful penalty call in their favor). But oh well, we graduate our best player in school history and it hurts knowing he should’ve been in Des Moines next week. It also hurts seeing our two biggest rivals in soccer, Western Christian and West Sioux, both make the tournament. (I still think if the state correctly paired us in WS district that we’d have qualified) but sorry for the long rant. Was very much emotionally invested this year and needed to let it all out.
I’ll still be watching the state tournament next week. I’ll probably be a big West Liberty and North Fayette Valley fans as well. My prediction is @Pinehawk’s team finally wins after their mini drought the past few years.
Top to bottom, I think this is the most competitive 1a field I've ever seen (going back to 2012. Feels like most every game could go either way.
Van Meter easily handles West Branch 3-1. Not a surprise as WB had played one of the worst schedules in 1A.
West Liberty upsets Western Christian in overtime. Didn't expect that.
NFV holds off West Sioux 2-1.
Regina cruises to a 3-0 victory over Hudson in probably one of their best games of the season.
Interesting change this year with the semifinals and finals moving to Drake Stadium and Mediacom Stadium. Which will mean state tournament games on turf for the first time.
Nice job from the IHSAA putting all of the games on YouTube for free. The camera work was good, and the announcers were great. They just need to work on their timing as the video cut off on several games prior to them being over.
DCG with an 8-1 win over Storm Lake in one of the biggest blowouts at State that I can recall.
Did not expect Assumption to defeat Glenwood 4-0. Impressive.
City High with another tough loss at State, falling in overtime to Johnston.

Your 2024 State Champions:
4A - Johnston
3A - Dallas Center-Grimes
2A - Bishop Heelan
1A - North Fayette Valley
Any final thoughts on the season?
I think the move to four classes has been a big success, with a number of new programs having a chance to reach State, and even win it (NFV in just their 5th season overall).
Didn't actually enjoy the move away from Cownie to Drake and Mediacom Stadium for the semi-finals and finals.
Went from an actual grass soccer field, to a turf football field all marked up for a different sport.
Wish the IAHSAA would drop the pay per view approach, and instead utilize their YouTube channel.
None of the historically big programs won a Title this year (West High, Xavier or Regina).
There didn't appear to be a big individual standout player this year, unless I missed them.
I wish teams did a better job of entering accurate stats in Bound. Some teams are always late, and others always enter them incorrectly. Makes it hard to trust the numbers, and coaches and journalists are trying to use them.
Overall, I think the depth of quality teams is improving across the state, even if I think the overall skill and quality of the top teams was down a bit this year from past years. I would think we’ll continue to see more parity as more schools begin programs, and others develop those programs and they grow.
