This year the state football championships are a day earlier, I’m guessing because of a UNI home game Saturday. Thursday is 8-man, A, and 3A, while 1A, 2A, and 4A are Friday.
The Class 1A title game is Council Bluffs St. Albert vs. Iowa City Regina…again. They played in 2007 and St. Albert won 7-6. In the past decade, nine of the 20 spots in 1A title games belong to three private schools: St. Albert, Regina, and Algona Bishop Garrigan (and that’s not counting two Regina titles in 2A).
Meanwhile, in Class A, it’s Wapsie Valley (10-0) vs. Hinton (10-3). Wapsie beat North Tama in the quarterfinals.
