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

Ankeny Christian punches ticket to state title match with win over Fort Madison Holy Trinity

CORALVILLE - Michelle Quick's voice was about gone. Fortunately for the Ankeny Christian coach, her players did not need a whole lot of instruction her during Wednesday's Class 1A state semifinal match with Fort Madison Holy Trinity at Xtream Arena. After winning straight Class 1A titles from 2022-24, the Eagles missed the state meet last year. They have been on point from the start of this year's tournament. They needed just over an hour to dispatch Crusaders (31-7) 25-14, 25-14, 25-21 to earn a spot in Thursday's 1A title match, set to start at 7 p.m. "Today, I thought they did a lot of really good things together," she said. "They really trusted each other coming into this game, telling each other 'I feel it. I feel it' When they get going like that, there is not a lot I can do but just let them play." And play they did. Holy Trinity had a thrilling five-set win over Wapsie Valley in the quarterfinals, but they could never get in much of a rhythm in Wednesday's match. Quick said the team did some film study in preparation for the match, but spent most of the day taking it easy. "The

How a Democrat in Iowa and a Republican in Oregon are making education a campaign issue

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. As voters go to the polls today , education issues are not top of mind in most cases — but there are some notable exceptions. Two elections in particular are worth paying attention to: governors’ races in Iowa and Oregon. In both cases, one candidate has effectively used education to create a broader campaign pitch and appeal to voters across the political spectrum. Each candidate has run ads focused on schools, a rarity. If this strategy works in these states — and there are signs from polling that it is working — more candidates may copy the approach next election season. In Iowa, Democrat Rob Sand is the favorite to become the next governor of the state, which President Trump won by 13 points two years ago. Sand’s critique of Iowa’s private school voucher program has been at the center of his campaign. It’s come up repeatedly in events and debates. “I want public oversight of public money, and when you allow private schools

Clear Creek Amana tops Assumption, will play for IGHSAU volleyball title

CORALVILLE — Clear Creek-Amana is headed to its second Iowa high school state volleyball championship game in four years after sweeping Davenport Assumption in the Class 4A semifinals on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Xtream Arena. The 3-seed Clippers overpowered the No. 2 seed Knights from the start, winning 25-17, 25-22 and 25-12 to earn a date with No. 1 Norwalk in the 4A championship match on Thursday, Nov. 5. CCA was highly motivated after losing to Assumption, 2-1, during the Iowa City West Invite on Sept. 12. "We wanted to make sure that they didn't remember us the way that we played the last time we played them," said Clear Creek Amana coach Jackie Clubb. "We wanted to make sure we hung in there and controlled the game as much as possible. You've just got to be ready to go. They were." The Clippers outclassed Assumption in the rematch. They cruised in the first set, hung tough in the second and then dropped the hammer in the third set. CCA jumped out to a 12-3 lead in the third set, and Assumption never stood a chance. Delaney Vaske delivered the final two kills to send the Clippers to the 4A
