In a couple days I'd like to post my early 3A and 4A top ten predictions, but the games get off to a hiccuping start pretty darned quick. Post any scores, comments, news and predictions here.

Grand View Christian 68, Earlham 45
Who is their transfer?I saw Earlham play at MStM's Jamboree. Is the transfer eligible yet? Or at semester?
Harouna Sissoko is not eligible yet, will be eligible at semester.

Hey iowalongs230. Did you happen to watch that game or hear from anyone did? Really curious to know how their guard play was and who handled it.
TIA
Gradview clearly has talent, but they looked very sloppy in the video. Also lack the shooting they have had in the past. They should get their eyes opened on Saturday.
Oops I stand corrected. Harouna is now eligible to play, he played last night vs. Nodaway Valley.Harouna Sissoko is not eligible yet, will be eligible at semester.

Final 64-54 ICW, McCaffrey had 26.
Same game with different rules!!!Shouldn’t they be named Grandview Prep Academy? It always helps when you can recruit worldwide. For Christian reasons of course. I don’t mind in state kids moving around, but when you start going out of the country to get players, yeah.....
It gives catholic schools like us bad raps even though we do not recruit at all.
It’s also very hard for an international student to attend public school and play sports as the visa allows for 1 year in public. This is why more international kids are in private schools.
.IC West did the same thing, pulling a kid from a catholic school and plugging him right into their starting lineup.
So, everyone is doing it at this point.
there are multiple players for us who all played on the All Iowa attack AAU team and spent nites in hotels with them. they are not shy. they came to grandview christian because there adoptive father went there. They are there to play basketball. they aren’t there for spiritual education, teachers, world class college prep or anything in between. they are there to play basketball. wether right or wrong, it does rub people the wrong way. i don’t blame them for doing it, but it is a little frustrating. there are 4-5 teams that would win 1A in many years prior but now it’s pretty much 2-3 teams that even have a shot at competing with grandview. i will say however if i were given there situation, i would most definitely want those 2 kids playing for me. there both great people and play there butts off
.
At least it’s from the same state.....and country...or in this instance...community.
Ummm...Iowa's population is growing and Des Moines especially is booming. It is the small towns which make up 1A basketball that are losing people and needing to consolidate. Not sure how a Des Moines school bringing in kids to beat them in basketball is a "benefit" to them.That's worse in my mind. Plenty easy to hop across town or a neighboring community any more. Just to chase playing for a better team or more exposure.
Another thing entirely to uproot family and move to Iowa from another state or another country. Much bigger sacrifice by the family and a benefit overall to the State. Which has been losing young people and consolidating schools.
