Week six of the Iowa high school football season features two showdowns of rated teams in northeast Iowa and eight others across the state.

Two area teams are ranked No. 1 in the latest Associated Press Iowa high school poll heading into game six of the pandemic-shortened seven-week regular season.

Everything is running about a six weeks late, but the good news is the beginning of the USHL hockey season is planned to start up in early November.

The fifth poll of the season features 16 area squads. The ranked teams include 11 of the 15 teams in North Iowa Cedar League.

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 244 points.

The men's and women's teams are both slated to play a full 18-game schedule, starting in late December.

Games won't be played before the year ends, due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19.
