Solon takes down West Delaware to advance to IHSAA football seminfals

Solon is headed back to the UNI-Dome. The Spartans earned a 23-14 win over West Delaware in the Class 3A Iowa high school football state quarterfinals to stay undefeated and advance to next week's state semifinals. The start of the game looked like every other Solon game this season. Maddox Kelley scored on the first play from scrimmage, taking a 67-yard punt return to the house to give the Spartans a 7-0 lead 19 seconds in. West Delaware answered with a 79-yard scoring strike on third-and-14 to tie it 7-7. After the two teams traded empty posessions, Kelley found Kaden Hoeper on a screen to retake the lead 14-7. The Hawks went 90 yards to tie the game on their first possession out of halftime behind running back Wyatt Johnson. Solon would then get down to the West Delaware 5-yard line, but a false start pushed them back, and they settled for a Collin Mckie 20-yard field goal to take a 17-14 lead. A big fourth-and-5 stop from Solon's defense changed the momentum of the game. Solon bled the clock and, as the Hawks' defense least expected it, Kelley found James Thomsen wide open for a touchdown to seal the

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.

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 .

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
