How did District 1 do in the playoffs?
Northeast Hamilton
Lost to Twin River Valley Bode in the quarterfinals (37-40, 3OT)
Thoughts on District 1 for 2005:
Northeast Hamilton dominated district play and last year and ended up
winning the thing by two games. And although they lost a thrilling game in
the opening round of the playoffs, the Trojans had three seniors named All
State. Each one will be gone now, which includes a lineman, a linebacker,
and a wide receiver. The Trojans still have proven that they can win and
has enough returning experience to make a run at another district title.
Look for junior-to-be quarterback Alex Renaud to have an even better year.
As for the teams trying to get into the playoff race next year, three were tied
at 3-2 in-district play. C-W-L, Nora Springs-Rock Falls, and Ventura will
be hoping to make the leap to the top of district play. C-W-L also returns
their starting quarterback in Ben DeGroote. This talented dual-threat
quarterback is a tough prep to stop. Nora Springs-Rock Falls will have to
replace All State running back Mark Meehan but on the defensive side of things,
Justin Heimer returns at linebacker. Ventura had one of the best
linebacker crews in 8-man last year but does return senior-to-be Josh Brager.
Sleeper team:
Nora Springs-Rock
Falls - They finished last year with seven wins.
Sleeper Player:
Alex Renaud - Helped team to district title as a sophomore.
Josh Brager - Ventura standout is a load on both sides of the ball.

How
did District 2 do in the playoffs?
Twin River Valley, Bode
Defeated Northeast Hamilton in the quarterfinals (40-37, 3OT)
Lost to St. Mary's Remsen in the semifinals (14-42)
Thoughts on District 2 for 2005:
Similar to District 1, the top team in this district ended up dominating and
won by two games. Twin River Valley, Bode had a very impressive season but
said goodbye to two All State players. The team does return kicker/running
back Mark Cirks. But with the team losing their starting quarterback and
leading receiver, it may be tougher for the Thunder to open up the running game.
Sentral-Fenton has one of the most dominant traditions in 8-man football.
But after a down year, the big question is can they rebound? All State
lineman Ryan Luedtke returns as well as a good deal of their running backs from
last fall. North Kossuth brings back leading running back Joe Johnson and
a lot of talent around him. Pomeroy-Palmer has a chance to improve on
their two district wins from last year with quarterback David Erickson and
running back Craig Juilfs returning. This really is going to be a great
district and could really go a lot of different ways.
Sleeper team:
Pomeroy-Palmer - Can this basketball school have football success?
Sleeper Player:
Aaron Siefken - This sophomore is going to be good.

St. Mary's Remsen

Defeated Twin River Valley, Bode in the semifinals (42-14)
Defeated Adair-Casey in the State championship (56-8)
Thoughts on District 3 for 2005:
District 3 hosted the eventual 8-man State champions in St. Mary's Remsen.
But even though they won the title last year, they are no lock to get back into
the postseason. Not only did they lose their top lineman to UNI, the Hawks
also graduated their leading running back, quarterback, wide receiver, and more.
So where does that leave the team? Missing six All Staters and having a
lot of question marks heading into the fall. Aurelia only lost one game on
the year and that cost them a chance to play in the postseason. They also
were hit hard by graduation but the Bulldogs return a strong number of talented
players. This whole district has some question marks with the talent
graduated so things are up for grabs.
Sleeper team:
St. Mary's Remsen - They might have won the State title but many are sleeping on
them this fall.
Sleeper Player:
Craig Ahlers - Underrated prep on Remsen-Union who just makes plays.

Glidden-Ralston
Lost to St. Mary's Remsen in the quarterfinals (8-24)
Thoughts on District 4 for 2005:
Glidden-Ralston dominated district play and gave the eventual champions a
very good game in the opening round. And despite the fact that they lose a
lot of All State players and seniors, this will still be the team to be in
district play. Returning for the team is a very talented All Stater in
linebacker T.J. Lensch. This senior was a load on both sides of the ball
and will be even better this fall. Also keep an eye on quarterback Nick
Lensch. This junior had a very solid season last fall. Elk-Horn
Kimballbon tasted success last year and will be hoping to repeat it this fall.
They will have quite the test with a number of other district teams.
Ar-We-Va lost two very talented players in athlete Teddy Hawley and lineman
Ricky Lueders. Outside of the Glidden-Ralston, this district could end up
wide open.
Sleeper team:
Ar-We-Va - They return some solid players from last year and will be looking for
improvement.
Sleeper Player:
T.J. Lensch - All State linebacker deserves more pub.

Thoughts on District 5 for 2005:
After dominating the regular season, many expected Walnut to play in the
State title game. And although they ended up falling short of that goal,
the Warriors still had quite the season. Walnut said goodbye to five All
State players, including current Iowa Hawkeye Tyler Blum. Malvern gave
Walnut their toughest test in-district play but that lost cost them a postseason
appearance. The Panthers will have some holes to fill as five All State
players are not graduated as well. With those two teams having a lot of
holes to fill, I feel the team to beat is Stanton. Quarterback Drew
Whigham earned first team All State honors as a junior and his numbers will only
get better this fall. In eight games last year, this senior threw 24
touchdowns and only three inteceptions. The second leading pass catcher,
Ryan Meier, returns and will give Whigham a great target. Nishna Valley
returns a very talented running back in Austin Duysen. This junior will
likely break the 1,000 yard barrier this fall.
Sleeper team:
Stanton - They have some serious talent returning.
Sleeper Player:
Austin Duysen - Underrated running back will put up big yards.

Thoughts on District 6 for 2005:
Farragut gave Walnut a very tough test in the first round of the playoffs
but is now without a lot of their firepower. Gone are two All State
defenders and the offense was also hurt by graduation. All District wide
receiver Luk Miller does return. Hamburg brings back a very talented
running back in Ryan Haupt. This All Stater rushed for over 1,300 yards
last fall and was also dangerous as a pass catcher. Also keep an eye on
lineman Clay Hendrickson. One team who has a chance to be good is Essex.
They return their leading rusher in Adam Maher. Maher also snagged six
interceptions. And don't forget about Cliff Holmes, who led the team with
seven interceptions. Another Essex player primed for a huge year is Tom
Slater. He may be undersized but put up some huge numbers defensively.
I see these three teams fighting for the district title in the end.
Sleeper team:
Farragut - They always seem to be a tough team year in and year out.
Sleeper Player:
Tom Slater - Lineman who just makes plays

Adair-Casey
Defeated Twin Cedar, Bussey in the quarterfinals (60-32)
Defeated Walnut in the semifinals (42-29)
Lost to St. Mary's Remsen in the State championship (8-56)
Thoughts on District 7 for 2005:
Another potential three team battle may happen in District 7 this fall.
Adair-Casey has the most dominant tradition in 8-man football and will be hoping
to make another State title run. But gone are four All Staters from a team
that made it all the way to the State title game. Gone from the Bombers
are their quarterback, three leading running backs, and leading receiver.
Defensive back Andrew Leeper does return and he snagged five interceptions last
year as a sophomore. The only loss for Lenox last season was to the
Bombers. All State athlete Jake Samo returns and is a presence on both
sides of the ball. The Tigers also return a very talented running back in
sophomore Kalab Evans. Lamoni said goodbye to All Stater Chris Seymour but
has some quality returning. That includes All District lineman Zach Kotz
and some very underrated athletes. Murray lost their top
running back from last year but brings athlete Patrick Flaherty, who was a load
to block.
Sleeper team:
Lamoni - They have some underrated talent returning but will need to avenge both
district losses from last year.
Sleeper Player:
Jake Samo - All State athlete is a load to bring down.

Thoughts on District 8 for 2005:

that could be the case again this fall. The biggest hole that Twin Cedar
will have to replace is athlete Scott Schippers. Also gone are two other
All Staters. Melcher-Dallas returns All State linebacker Jesse Clark but
will have to replace quarterback B.J. Wells. Players returning that will
help include running back Willy Westberry, receiver Jordy Tickle, and linebacker
Jimmy Lane. With the talent they return, the Saints will be tough to beat.
One of the best linebackers gone this year is Casey Warren of Seymour.
Sleeper team:
Russell - Could they surprise some teams in-district play?
Sleeper Player:
Jesse Clark - Talented athlete for Melcher-Dallas

Defeated Twin Cedar, Bussey in the quarterfinals (60-32)
Defeated Walnut in the semifinals (42-29)
Lost to St. Mary's Remsen in the State championship (8-56)
Thoughts on District 7 for 2005:
Another potential three team battle may happen in District 7 this fall.
Adair-Casey has the most dominant tradition in 8-man football and will be hoping
to make another State title run. But gone are four All Staters from a team
that made it all the way to the State title game. Gone from the Bombers
are their quarterback, three leading running backs, and leading receiver.
Defensive back Andrew Leeper does return and he snagged five interceptions last
year as a sophomore. The only loss for Lenox last season was to the
Bombers. All State athlete Jake Samo returns and is a presence on both
sides of the ball. The Tigers also return a very talented running back in
sophomore Kalab Evans. Lamoni said goodbye to All Stater Chris Seymour but
has some quality returning. That includes All District lineman Zach Kotz
and some very underrated athletes. Murray lost their top
running back from last year but brings athlete Patrick Flaherty, who was a load
to block.
Sleeper team:
Lamoni - They have some underrated talent returning but will need to avenge both
district losses from last year.
Sleeper Player:
Jake Samo - All State athlete is a load to bring down.

did District 8 do in the playoffs?
Twin Cedar, Bussey
Lost to Adair-Casey in the quarterfinals (32-60)
Thoughts on District 8 for 2005:
Twin Cedar and Melcher-Dallas fought for the district title last year and
that could be the case again this fall. The biggest hole that Twin Cedar
will have to replace is athlete Scott Schippers. Also gone are two other
All Staters. Melcher-Dallas returns All State linebacker Jesse Clark but
will have to replace quarterback B.J. Wells. Players returning that will
help include running back Willy Westberry, receiver Jordy Tickle, and linebacker
Jimmy Lane. With the talent they return, the Saints will be tough to beat.
One of the best linebackers gone this year is Casey Warren of Seymour.
Sleeper team:
Russell - Could they surprise some teams in-district play?
Sleeper Player:
Jesse Clark - Talented athlete for Melcher-Dallas
