Predicting Iowa high school football playoffs games, IHSAA quarterfinal

The Iowa high school football playoff picture has narrowed to the final eight teams in each class as teams get set for the state quarterfinals . After the Round-of-16, just three Iowa City-area teams remain alive and will now battle for a spot in next week's state semifinal. Last week, Iowa City Liberty went to Indianola and came away with a 28-14 win behind another strong offensive performance. Solon took down Fairfield at home as Maddox Kelley proved again he's hard to slow down. And Regina, which plays its best at home, took care of Sigourney Keota, 49-13. The Spartans and Regals get one last playoff game at home, and with a win, will travel to UNI-Dome. Meanwhile, Liberty will travel to Ankeny to try and pull off another upset and advance to the state semifinals. Here are the Iowa City Press-Citizen's predictions for the IHSAA quarterfinals . Iowa City Liberty vs. Ankeny The Hawks are coming off a near-upset to Waukee last Friday, but they pulled out a 43-37 win. They led 29-14 at halftime after a 22-point second quarter, but were outscored 23-14 in the second half. Ankeny quarterback Mason Machan threw three touchdown passes, and Devan Goode

Iowa City Regina rolls over Sigourney-Keota in 1A playoffs

IOWA CITY — Some teams might crumble after fumbling the opening kickoff of a playoff game. Iowa City Regina leans on an equation: Events plus response equals outcome. The Regals found the outcome they wanted in all three fazes of the game. Regina forced a three-and-out after the fumbled kickoff. Holt Hinkel remedied the special teams miscue with a kickoff return touchdown, part of a 28-6 second quarter for the Regals, which ballooned into a 49-13 win over Sigourney-Keota in the second round of the Class 1A playoffs Friday, Oct. 30 in Iowa City. “That's probably what I was most proud of,” Regina coach Dustin Elsbury said. “These guys, it’s just like, ‘hey, you're not always going to have control over the event that happens in your life or football game tonight. What really matters is, hey, can you wash it? Have a short memory. Next play, get back up and have a great response,’ and those guys responded well.” Hinkel’s return made it 14-6 immediately after Ayden Galindo scored five-yard run to make it 7-6. Then, it was Regina’s stout defense and running back Gabriel Hegelheimer’s time to shine. Hegelheimer showed off his blazing speed with two rushing touchdowns
