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.

Iowa City Liberty seniors hold heads high after quarterfinal loss to Ankeny

ANKENY – Iowa City Liberty has enjoyed a great run that has elevated the program to new heights. Lightning seniors helped the program reach its first semifinals each of the last two seasons, including the first state runner-up finish a year ago. Liberty looked to extend that streak but Ankeny was a roadblock in the path back to the UNI-Dome. Ankeny quarterback Mason Machan passed for 211 and four touchdowns, adding a 65-yard scoring run, powering the fifth-ranked Hawks to a 51-29 victory over the Lighting in a Class 5A state football quarterfinal Friday night at Ankeny Stadium. It may not have ended the way they have hoped but it's been a great ride for the Lightning seniors. “It's been wonderful," said Liberty senior Pryor Reiners, who had 103 yards and a TD on a game-high seven receptions. “God blessed me with this wonderful team, coaching staff, friends and family. I'm thankful for the Lord, every single coach that has been coaching me since my sophomore year and everyone else. It's the best coaching staff in the state, no doubt. "I'm going to miss it. We're all going to miss it but they got another run to go next year."

Iowa Regents to choose new leader for UI center after rocky start

The Iowa Board of Regents will interview and decide on the next permanent director for the University of Iowa's Center for Intellectual Freedom at its next board meeting. During a meeting of the center's advisory council on Friday, Nov. 6, the council voted forward two candidates for the Regents to consider at their Wednesday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames. The council did not release the candidates' names. The candidates will have closed-session interviews with the regents before the regents announce and vote on the pick during Wednesday's meeting. More: Nebraska Omaha professor rejects Center for Intellectual Freedom offer The Center for Intellectual Freedom was created in 2025 to address what Republican lawmakers said was a hostile environment for conservatives in higher education.
