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.

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

Carl Sandburg student named top Illinois community college scholar

Kaden Pickard once doubted college was the right path after earning a grade point average below 2.0, but the Carl Sandburg College student is now being recognized as the top community college student in Illinois. Pickard, 23, of Galesburg has been named the Illinois community college Student Laureate by lincolnacademyillinois.org , according to a community announcement. The distinction recognizes one graduating student to represent Illinois' entire community college system in addition to student laureates selected from the state's four-year colleges and universities. “There are 45 community colleges in Illinois and 600,000 students enrolled in those colleges,” Pickard said. “Those are 600,000 other students who could have been nominated, could have won the award, and it's me. It's surreal.” Pickard was honored at an award program Oct. 24 at the Old State Capitol in Springfield. The recognition includes the Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award, a Lincoln medallion, a challenge coin and a $1,000 check. He is the second Sandburg student to earn Student Laureate honors. Zana Danner received the recognition in 2018. From struggling student to award winner Pickard enrolled at Sandburg after graduating from Galesburg High School in 2021 and entered the college's basic industrial manufacturing maintenance program.
