Iowa Preps dives inside the 8-Man football ranks. We look ahead to week two, games to watch, and look back at what stood out to us from other the weekend. Get insider coverage that you will not find anywhere else now!
Game of the Week: Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn 42, Coon Rapids-Bayard 26
They brought their A game in this battle but MMC figured out a way to slow down a potent offense but also put up enough points offensively for the victory. This team doesn't get the lime light that they deserve but could be very dangerous.
.....................................................................................
What else stood out:
Game: Newell-Fonda 32, Harris-Lake Park 31
Why: Is Newell-Fonda overrated or Harris-Lake Park better than people realize? The answer to this question has yet to be answered.
Game: Janesville 56, Central City 18
Why: This offense just has an ability to put up huge numbers offensively.
Game: Don Bosco 54, Springville 6
Why: The success continues in a big way in 2015.
Game: Stanton 64, Lamoni 6
Why: Is this offense one of the best in 8-Man?
Game: Northwood-Kensett 34, West Bend-Mallard 32
Why: The Wolverines will be battled tested by two tough early games but the victory for Northwood-Kensett could propel them to a fantastic run in 2015.
