Kinda intriguing. A lot of folks had been talking up the kid from Council Bluffs Abe Lincoln ... and then they proceed to lose in the first round of the playoffs.

Reciprocally, French's CR Kennedy squad pulls off a bit of an upset by beating CR Xavier. And in in both 3A and 4A ball, there were a few striking upsets (like CCA winning in the first round too).

Just thought that I'd bring it up ....
 
It should be noted that Ebertkowski had about 130 yards and 3 or 4 TDs in his team's loss, while French had no statistics to speak of in his team's win.

Kennedy is much, much better than they were earlier in the year because their OL is manhandling people and their RBs are running it down people's throats. It has nothing at all to do with French.
 
The implication had nothing to do with the production of EITHER player. The outcomes of the respective games were still rather surprising.
 
For anyone with Mediacom...the 4A state championship game between Dowling and City High is going to be televised on MC22.
 
3 and out for ICH on first possession (don't know how they didn't get punt blocked)

TD drive for Dowling...missed PAT.

6-0 Dowling
 
Good night for sports in Iowa.... streaming the Hawks bball online and will have the tv on for this class 4A championship .
 
FYI...these announcers are emotionless. Both touchdowns sounded like 2 yard dive plays. I don't even think they SAID touchdown when ICH scored. A kid from Dowling just got lit up on a reverse...nothing.
 
Very impressive drive to respond to ICH touchdown...21-19 ICH. Dowling going for 2...got it. We're tied up at 21!
 
Something about McNulty..the jersey number, the jersey number and the tigerhawk on the helmet...I get a very Drew Tate-like vibe from him.
