Iowa City Liberty seniors hold heads high after quarterfinal loss to Ankeny

ANKENY – Iowa City Liberty has enjoyed a great run that has elevated the program to new heights. Lightning seniors helped the program reach its first semifinals each of the last two seasons, including the first state runner-up finish a year ago. Liberty looked to extend that streak but Ankeny was a roadblock in the path back to the UNI-Dome. Ankeny quarterback Mason Machan passed for 211 and four touchdowns, adding a 65-yard scoring run, powering the fifth-ranked Hawks to a 51-29 victory over the Lighting in a Class 5A state football quarterfinal Friday night at Ankeny Stadium. It may not have ended the way they have hoped but it's been a great ride for the Lightning seniors. “It's been wonderful," said Liberty senior Pryor Reiners, who had 103 yards and a TD on a game-high seven receptions. “God blessed me with this wonderful team, coaching staff, friends and family. I'm thankful for the Lord, every single coach that has been coaching me since my sophomore year and everyone else. It's the best coaching staff in the state, no doubt. "I'm going to miss it. We're all going to miss it but they got another run to go next year."

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.

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 .

Taj Manning and Tre Singleton's tenacity fuel No. 18 Iowa State's 83-57 win over Southern Miss

AMES — Iowa State forward Taj Manning is unlikely to fill up the stat sheet enough to participate in many postgame news conference’s this season. But that didn’t stop him from earning a strong special mention from his head coach, T.J. Otzelberger, after his trademark tenacity put a firm stamp on the No. 18 Cyclones’ 83-57 win over Southern Miss in Friday’s home season opener. “The guy (who) will be the most unheralded, (who’s) probably been the most winning player is Taj Manning,” Otzelberger said after Manning swatted away a career-high four blocks before a crowd of 13,920 at Hilton Coliseum. “He makes play after play defensively, at the rim, in rotation, guarding the basketball. His minutes are gonna continue to elevate. It’s real hard to keep him off the floor and it’s not always gonna show up with the points, but defensively, he really gives us an indignity and we’re gonna continue to lean into that.” That’s at least partly because this ISU team (1-1) is still trying to forge that identity. It always stems from stern defense, forcing live ball turnovers, and hoarding rebounds, and Otzelberger said his talented, but largely new group of players are a “work
