High school football rankings: Harlan finishes No. 1 in final Iowa MaxPreps Top 25

The high school football season in Iowa came to a close over the weekend with state championship games in seven classifications held at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Harlan was among the victors with a 42-28 win over Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley (Rock Valley) in the Class 3A state title game. That helped propel the Cyclones to the No. 1 ranking in the final Iowa MaxPreps Top 25.
