Who's up and who's down

No Stoppin 'Em

The match between Lincoln and Dowling Catholic last week put some strain on the scoreboard; in fact, with a total of 75 final points, it was the highest scoring contest in the power rankings for the week. Everything went Dowling Catholic's way against Lincoln as it secured a 69 - 6 win. Dowling Catholic made sure to walk the walk to justify being talked up as the big favorite.

Can't Touch This

Johnston not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent Sioux City North in every quarter. Johnston picked up a decisive 'W' against Sioux City North, finishing up at 42 - 6. Johnston's margin of victory (36 points) marked the biggest win the team has had all season. Andrew Nord deserves a lot of credit in the win. He rushed for 125 yards and threw for one touchdown, a performance good enough to make him one of the top players in the power rankings last week.

Game of Inches

The title of the most exciting match of the week goes to the clash between Harlan and Winterset. Harlan won a game that couldn't get any closer, slipping by Winterset 7 - 6. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Harlan after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close.
