Our picks for every IHSAA semifinal game in Iowa high school playoffs

Only two weeks remain in the 2026 Iowa high school football season, with the semifinals this week and s tate championship games next week. The penultimate round of the playoffs runs Wednesday, Nov. 11, through Saturday, Nov. 14, in Cedar Falls. Title games will be held Nov. 19 and 20 at the UNI-Dome. We’re back with another round of predictions this week. Throughout the season, we made educated guesses about who would win the 10 biggest games each week. But for the state semifinals, we're predicting all 14 matchups. We went 61-19 in the regular season, and we went 6-4 in our first set of playoff predictions. In the quarterfinals, we went 7-3, bringing our season-long record to 74-26. Here are our predictions for the Iowa high school football state semifinals . Class 5A Ankeny (9-2) vs. Johnston (10-1), Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. The Hawks' defense gets a lot of credit, but this offense has put up 40-or-more points in four of its last five games. When these two teams met in the regular season, though, Johnston held Ankeny scoreless, and if the Dragons play the same way, they'll find themselves competing for a state championship.

Man Sentenced for Drug Smuggling

A Waterloo man has been sentenced to an extended prison term after being caught smuggling methamphetamine and Xanax into the Black Hawk County Jail, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. 49 year old Ryan Torres swallowed a bag containing both drugs after a traffic stop on May 2nd of last year. As he was being booked into the jail he was scanned by an X-ray-like machine but the operator did not notice any evidence of the bag of drugs in his system. After being booked he was able to pass the bag of drugs, which he then sold within the jail. Torres has numerous drug and theft charges dating back to the mid 90s, which exacerbated his sentence. Under the habitual offender provision, he was sentenced to up to 45 years in prison and must serve nine years before becoming eligible for parole. This sentence was on top of the sentence he was already serving for punching a man at Walmart. Altogether he will serve up to 60 years in prison and will not be eligible for parole until he serves 15 years.
