Our picks in the IHSAA Round of 16 of the Iowa high school playoffs

Welcome to the Round of 16 . The entire state has now entered the Iowa high school football playoffs, and the number of teams still playing will get cut in half each week from here on out. Even in the early round of the postseason, there are plenty of exciting matchups. Each week of the IHSAA season , we select 10 games and try to predict the outcomes, then we provide an update on how successful – or unsuccessful – those picks were. We went 10-0 in the final week of the regular season, bringing our season-long record to 61-19. Here are our predictions for some of the best Round of 16 games in Iowa high school football. Rankings are pulled from the Des Moines Register’s class-by-class rankings released at the end of the regular season, and rankings listed below reflect that team's standing within their class. Class 5A, 4A, and 3A were released on Oct. 26; Class 2A, 1A, A and 8-player were posted on Oct. 19. No. 8 Ballard (6-3) at No. 4 Western Dubuque (8-1) It's been a productive season for Ballard, with Bryce Miller leading the Bombers into the Round of 16. But the Bobcats will
