High school football playoff rewind: Maquoketa Valley stuns Madrid
CEDAR RAPIDS — Let’s let Andrew Christensen describe his Maquoketa Valley football team’s playoff game Friday night in a succinct and obviously on-point manner. “We played our best game of the year,” Christensen said. And that was good enough for the Wildcats not to just upset fourth-ranked Madrid in a Class A Round of 16 affair in central Iowa, but smash Madrid, 34-0. Few saw this coming. The winner and the margin. “We kicked off to them, and they got, I wouldn’t say big plays, but bigger plays on us,” Christensen said. “But then we kind of buckled down and stuff. We were just efficient offensively, I’d say, all night, running the ball and passing it just well enough. I mean, I was really proud of how physical we were tonight.” Running back Rogan Heidt ran 32 times for 152 yards and three touchdowns for the Wildcats (7-3), who were third-seeded in their own district, albeit a power-packed one that includes fellow quarterfinalist North Linn. Maquoketa Valley scored a TD in each quarter, including two in the fourth to put the proverbial icing on the cake. Quarterback Trevor Grimm completed 7 of 8 passes for 125 yards and scored twice
