I think last year there was a 3 way tie between those three teams. SF over MFL, Dike over SF, and MFL over Dike.
Class 1A Season Outlook
- Thread starter PNation
- Start date
It's great to read some banter on here. I thought maybe everyone had left. Obviously Dike is considerably better than SF and WB, we'll see how MFL does against Dike next week and see how WB does against Wilton & Regina as a measuring stick to see if anyone in eastern Iowa is competitive with DNH and Grundy.
Why is everyone calling West Branch young? Sounds like an excuse. They are currently playing a senior QB and their top running back is a junior. Most of their offense appears to be juniors and seniors with sophomores only playing a small role according to the stats.
Regina must be really young then. Out of the 9 players who have carried the ball this year, only one is a senior.
The QB is a junior. The leading receiver is a sophomore. The leading rusher is a sophomore.

Did I miss the debate? Bummer
Blame how has the new coach being received? Tough following a legend like Butch. Did he retain coaches? Traditions?

Obviously I’m a WB guy. WB is a young team(not to be confused with the REALLY young Regina team
). WB is just an average team from my perspective. Defensive secondary is prone to lapses. Beckman is definitely an improved team from last year, can they hang with Wilton and Regina? I have no clue as I haven’t seen them play. Beckman does have the size up front, and they pass the ball well. But I also saw Beckham prone to lapses in the secondary just as bad as WB.Beckman runs what WB ran for 30 years: the good ol Wing-T
Only 10-15 core plays, and you only run about 6-8 of those.
When you have BIG beef up front who can set the edge, and lay people down up the middle, it is almost unstoppable.
Wilton is a similar team to DB, but with more mature/experienced kids. Hence the reason they won 35-7. They capitalized on mistakes and turnovers. Scoreboard didn't truly tell the story of that game.
ICR and DB could be a very good football game in Week 7.

My thoughts after week 6, not a ton of changes but a few
District 1
1. OABCIG
2. West Sioux
3. Ridge View
4. Hinton
I keep going back and forth for who will get second place in this district, that will be decided this week.
District 2
1. Emmetsburg
2. NW Webster
3. Sioux Central
4. East Sac
Manson NW Webster seems to have taken the 2nd spot with the win over Sioux Central, East Sac and Sioux Central need to play yet to determine 3/4
District 3
1. DNH
2. MFL Mar-Mac
3. Sumner Fred
4. Aplington Parkersburg
I don't see there being any way that this isn't the final standings.
District 4
1. Grundy Center
2. South Hardin
3. Alburnett
4. Hudson
Same with District 4, I think this is all but wrapped up, I thought that South Hardin might have given Grundy a better game then they did, but Grundy is just a machine. I also heard on KWWL that Hudson had a few kids suspended.
District 5
1. Wilton
2. Regina
3. Beckman
4. West Branch
This district is very much still in play, West Branch is probably locked into the 4 spot, but Beckman Regina I am interested in this week, then Regina vs Wilton the next week.
District 6
1. Sigourney Keota
2. Pleasantville
3. Pella Christian
4. EBF
I believe that this is more or less set for how teams will finish barring a major upset.
District 7
1. Woodward Granger
2. South Hamilton
3. Ogden
4. Grandview Christian
W-G vs SH for the district title this week, I think that it is truly a toss up, West Central Valley could make 3/4 a 3 way tie with a win over Ogden.
District 8
1. Treynor
2. AHSTW
3. Underwood
4. Shenandoah
Barring an upset this is the way things will finish, Underwood will be a very good 3 seed, they have played a brutal schedule.

Predicted Top 4 at the End of the Season
