#5 Norwalk vs #7 Sergeant Bluff-Luton
Norwalk has been on a roll since a regular season loss. Brandsfield and company have been putting up big numbers up in the air and on the scoreboard. They do enough on the ground to keep teams honest and the defense is starting to come around.
Sergeant Bluff-Luton
Sergeant Bluff has had an outstanding year and overtook Heelan as the power this year in the Northwest. Their offense has been on a tear, putting up monster points on the board against good teams. A team the moves the ball through the air but has been getting some support with the ground game as well.
Keys: Stop the other’s pass game, running the ball, key defensive stops
#2 West Delaware vs #1 Pella
Talk about a great match-up and this could be the best game in the entire state this year.
West Delaware has been beating up on teams all year. They have one of the best offenses in the state because they can hurt you on the ground and in the air. Ridenour, Roussell, and Maloney are the leaders for the offense and have proven very difficult to stop. The defense has been solid all year but will be challenged in this one.
Pella continues to be the team to beat as they look for a repeat title. Pella may be the most complete team in the state on both sides of the ball. They have a strong run game but can also pass when needed. The defense continues to make plays and key stops early in games to take away any momentum other teams may have. Clayberg and company have been on a mission all year.
Keys: Defensive stops early, Big plays, Overall depth.
