Iowa High School Football: Playoff Upsets

Wow...up 3 in the state title game with 5:03 to go, ICH comes out and throws 2 straight passes. They just got a first down on 3rd and short...like to see a coach from Iowa City not sitting on a lead!

ZING!
 
WTF? ICH just faked a punt on the Dowling 48 and didn't get it. Dowling needs 52 yards to take the lead! 3:30 left in the game
 
Very questionable defensive play calls by ICH has Dowling on the 5 yard line with 0:26 left in the game...Bravard (Dowling QB) absolutely smoking ICH on the ground.
 
0:14 left in the game. Dowling down 3, it's 4th and 3, Dowling is on the ICH 5 yard line.

FG kicker coming out...
 
Holy crap...on 3rd and goal from the 10, ICH sacked back to the 20. One play, 4th and 20, for the game.

Picked off by Dowling! Ballgame! Dowling wins the state title 38-31.


City High's staff needs to look in the mirror on this one...they went ballsy passing with a 3 point lead to get a first down to try to kill clock, but then went batsh*t insane with the fake punt at midfield with 3:30 to go (or maybe it was 2:30).

Then, the blitzes on Dowling's final drives when the QB had been gashing them with the run all night...just opened up those running lanes for him.
