Week five of the Iowa high school football season features a showdown of rated teams in the same Class A district.

The Panthers will play the first of their eight Missouri Valley Football Conference games at home on Feb. 20.

Iowa State's first home game on September 12th was a disappointing in more ways than one. There were no fans in the stands, except for the marching band and they suffered an upset loss to a good Louisiana-Lafayette team.

76-20, 66-12, 88-0, 62-6, it's no fun to finish on the wrong end of those scores. The Clarksville Indians are currently 0-4 and have been outscored by 254 points.

There was a noticeable shake-up in this week's Associated Press Iowa high school football poll. Two teams that didn't play Friday lost their No. 1 rankings.

This week marks the halfway point of the Iowa high school football season.

Hope returned for student-athletes after it was announced Iowa football would return next month. Unfortunately, the hope didn't last long.

While most of the area teams held their positions, some upsets on a rainy Friday night caused a shake up in this week's Associated Press survey.

A vote to resume play could come in the next few days, with football resuming as soon as October 17th.

The Wahawks will play Friday night after all, against a different opponent at Memorial Stadium.
