Our Breakdown includes top games from the weekend, elite performers, what to watch this week, and more!
Here is what stood out to us:
Team of the Week: Lewis Central 42, Sergeant Bluff-Luton 14
The Titans appears to be a serious contender in the race for the Class 3A championship.
Runner Up Team of the Week: Xavier, Cedar Rapids 44, Regina, Iowa City 7
Yes, they were playing a smaller school, but the dominance of the Saints says a lot about their potential once again.
