4A Breakdown includes our team of the week, what stood out, elite performers, what to watch this week, and more!
Our Team of the Week:
Dubuque Senior (Dubuque, Senior 61, Davenport, Central 59, Dubuque, Senior 79, Davenport, West 62)
Some considered their run to state last winter good timing but this youthful group showed with a win over an elite Central team that they are ready to compete for an MVC title.
..................................
The Runner Up:
Dowling Catholic (Dowling Catholic, West Des Moines 61, Ankeny Centennial 54 (OT), Dowling Catholic, West Des Moines 60, Ottumwa 39)
They may have needed overtime but the Maroons showed that they can play with the best in 4A with a victory over Ankeny Centennial.
