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. They led 29-14 at halftime after a 22-point second quarter, but were outscored 23-14 in the second half. Ankeny quarterback Mason Machan threw three touchdown passes, and Devan Goode

The Iowa Board of Regents will interview and decide on the next permanent director for the University of Iowa's Center for Intellectual Freedom at its next board meeting. During a meeting of the center's advisory council on Friday, Nov. 6, the council voted forward two candidates for the Regents to consider at their Monday, Nov. 11, meeting in Ames.
