Notes
#15 Atlantic had an impressive 48-7 win over 2A #37 Clarinda. Pre-game prediction was 12 points. Atlantic travels next to #17 (0-1) Carroll, opening round loser to 2A #3 Kuemper 27-21. Atlantic – Carroll game is expected to be of the highest competitiveness: Atlantic is favored by 1.
#16 Knoxville, despite being a pregame 21-point underdog, cracks the top 16 after a 42-28 road win over 2A #26 Prairie City-Monroe. Knoxville next hosts #34 Newton, an opening round loser to #2 Norwalk 42-12.
#3 Huxley Ballard was a pregame 25-point home underdog to Webster City. However, the 2011 analysis was simply inaccurate, as the Bombers won big, 27-0. Ballard travels to #30 (0-1) Carlisle as a 24-point road favorite.
#11 Harlan won the annual rivalry game with #36 Denison-Schleswig, 21-0. Last year’s contest was won by Denison-Schleswig 43-42, snapping a then 11-game win streak by Harlan. Harlan next faces 4A #36 CB Lincoln as a 27-point road favorite.
Games of the week:
Both games of the week start in a review of this week 1 matchup: 3A #9 Western Dubuque 7 @ 2A #4 Dyersville Beckman 6.
Western Dubuque won this close game against a quality opponent on the road. Unbelievably, their schedule gets no easier. Friday they host #7 Maquoketa, last year’s #1 team, and winner of an opening week 21-6 game against #23 Cascade. Western Dubuque enters this game as a 2-point home underdog.
Meanwhile 2A #4 Beckman next faces 3A #4 West Delaware. West Delaware posted a convincing 28-7 victory at #28 Central Clinton in week 1. West Delaware is a 10-point favorite in this game of 3A-2A top 5 teams.
