Pleasantville Holds on to Beat EBF in Postseason Opener

The Pleasantville football team held on late to beat Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont on the road Friday night in their opening game of the Class 1A Playoffs. The Trojans jumped out to a big 29-6 lead in the first half on two rushing touchdowns from JJ Phillips, a rushing touchdown by Braylon Bingham and a receiving touchdown by Phillips. The Rockets would score late in the second half to make it a two score game going into halftime. EBF would then significantly cut into their deficit in the second half making it a 29-28 game late in the fourth quarter. Pleasantville’s offense would stall out with roughly a minute to play and the Rockets then took over on downs. Brody Adreon ultimately sealed the game with an interception and Pleasantville was then able to kneel it out. Coach Mack Jorth said he was proud of the effort of his team and the defense came up big in the end.

See our Iowa high school football predictions for IHSAA Week 9

It's the final week of the Iowa high school football regular season, and the first week of the postseason for several squads in the state's smaller classes. Even with the first round of the playoffs for the state's large classes starting next week, there are plenty of exciting matchups in Week 9 . Each week of the IHSAA season, we select 10 games and try to predict the outcomes, and then we provide an update on how successful – or unsuccessful – those picks were. We went 45-15 through the first seven weeks of the season and, last week, we went 6-4, bringing our season-long record to 51-19. Here are our predictions for some of the best Iowa high school football games in Week 9. Class 3A No. 10 Algona (5-3) at Bishop Heelan (5-3) This has all the makings of a tight matchup to close out the regular season, especially since both teams boast almost equally disruptive defenses. The Crusaders' top pieces on offense seem slightly more connected, though, and that could be the difference maker. Bishop Heelan 21, Algona 14 Class 3A No. 8 Assumption (6-2) at Mount Vernon (6-2) Assumption relies on the ground game, while Mount

Emma Stanley, three others qualify for Iowa high school state XC meet

PLEASANT HILL — Emma Stanley was not going to let this opportunity slip through her fingers. The 4A qualifying cross country meet at Southeast Polk on Oct. 21 was the Ames senior and South Dakota cross country commit's final chance to claim an individual qualifying meet title. As they neared the finish line, Stanley was in a battle with Ankeny Centennial's Natalie Cogdill and Rebecca Flick for first place. She spent a good chunk of the race hovering around eighth place, but by the time they approached the final hill before the stretch to the finish line, she made her way to the front of the pack. Stanley dug down deep and used her final kick to beat Cogdill and Flick up the last hill and pulled away as she sprinted toward the finish line. She outraced Cogdill, the No. 4 individual runner in 4A, according to the Iowa Association of Track Coaches, to cross the finish line first with a time of 18 minutes, 53.9 seconds. "I caught up to (Cogdill) at the bottom of the hill," Stanley said. "I turned to go up the hill and was like, it's 200 meters, it's all or nothing. Might as well
