Our picks for Iowa high school football playoffs state quarterfinals

It is time for the quarterfinal round of the Iowa high school football playoffs. There is one team from the Ames area still standing in the IHSAA playoffs, as Roland-Story will hit the road to take on No. 2 Van Meter in the Class 2A quarterfinals on Friday, Nov. 6. The Norsemen are coming off their most impressive showing of the season, a 42-14 dismantling of No. 4 Mid-Prairie in the Round of 16 on Oct. 30. They have one more hurdle to clear to achieve their goal of reaching the UNI-Dome for the state semifinals. But it is a big hurdle —a No. 2 Van Meter team that beat Roland-Story in last year's Round of 16. The Bulldogs also boast four state championships since 2017, including three in a row from 2021-2023. Here is the Ames Tribune's pick for Roland-Story versus Van Meter in the 2A high school football playoff quarterfinals. Iowa high school football playoffs predictions: State quarterfinals Roland-Story at Class 2A No. 2 Van Meter Roland-Story (8-2); Van Meter (9-1): Roland-Story is coming off one of the most impressive victories in program history on Oct. 30 when the Norsemen traveled to Wellman and pummeled No. 4 Mid-Prairie,

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.

Peach said in the newsletter that while all of his Kirkwood professors made a lasting difference in his life, Nathan Eric Dickman probably made the most difference. “His world religion class help open up my worldview and changed how I think about the world outside of Iowa. His replies on discussion posts were also very helpful in understanding these cultures that are so different than our own,” Peach said.
