FORECAST, POTENTIALLY A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN BY NEXT SATURDAY. NIGHT. HEY HEY. HEY. OH MY. ON FRIDAY NIGHT. OH, I LOVE THAT SOUND. IT IS FOOTBALL FRIDAY NIGHT AND WE HAVE A MEGA SHOW AHEAD FOR YOU TONIGHT. THANK YOU FOR JOINING EVERYBODY. WE’VE GOT JEFF DUBROF COMING WITH OUR WILD CARD GAME IN JUST A BIT. BUT WE’RE GOING TO START WITH OUR GAME OF THE NIGHT. SHANNON EARHART LIVE JOINING US NORTH POLK ADM, AS WE GET READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS. THIS WAS A BATTLE OF THE GIANTS IN CLASS FOUR. A SHANNON. IT WAS ALSO THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP, ONE THAT I’M NOT GOING TO SPOIL BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET RIGHT TO IT HERE. BOTH THESE TEAMS, VERY SIMILAR, LOVE THE RUN. VERY SELFISH ON DEFENSE AS WELL. SO AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER IT WAS SCORELESS. PM IS IN WHITE NORTH POLK IN BLACK HERE. LIKE I SAID THESE TEAMS VERY VERY SIMILAR. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT NORTH POLE QUARTERBACK NATHAN FELDMAN IS A TRACK STAR. HE TELLS ME HE LOVES TO RUN AND WE SURE DID SEE IT BUST THIS ONE OPEN ON THIRD AND LONG. GOES 89 YARDS TO THE END ZONE. HE THEN WOULD PUNCH IN THE EXTRA TWO POINTS. THE COMETS LEAD EIGHT ZERO IN THE SECOND QUARTER. RUNNING BACK BJ TATE PUT THE COMETS IN THE RED ZONE. FELDMAN SENDS A FLOATER TO CARTER. VAN BROCKLIN, WHO GETS HIS HEELS IN THE BACK OF THE END ZONE. NORTH POLK IS UP TWO SCORES TO NONE. WE’RE STILL IN THE FIRST HALF. IT’S A SCRUM SITUATION TATE CARVES THE DEFENSE UP LIKE A TURKEY AND EXPLODES 62 YARDS AND OPEN GRASS. HAVE YOURSELF A PICNIC, MR. TATE. IT’S 21 ZERO NORTH POLK. THE KICKOFF AFTER THAT TOUCHDOWN ADAMS CORBIN REED RECEIVES THE KICK. LIKE READING THE DEFENSE A BEDTIME STORY BECAUSE THE COMETS ARE CAUGHT SLEEPING. REED RUNS 98 YARDS. THE TIGERS FIRST SCORE OF THE GAME, AND IT’S 21 SEVEN HEADED INTO HALF A LOT OF RUNNING IN THIS ONE. FANS SAW A SCORELESS THIRD QUARTER THANKS TO DOMINANT DEFENSE. FELDMAN HERE WITH A LITTLE PLAY ACTION, FINDS JACOB PHILLIPS WIDE OPEN. THAT GIVES THE COMETS A COMFORTABLE LEAD 27 TO 7. BUT ADM WOULDN’T LAY DOWN AND QUIT. QUARTERBACK HUDSON SHULL PLOWS HIS WAY THROUGH THE TRENCHES AND WRESTLES IN FOR SIX. THE TIE IS GOOD FOR THE BOX SCORE, BUT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. NORTH POLK BUSINESS, PER USUAL, WINS IT WITH EASE. 27 TO 14. THE COMETS NINE AND OH FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1995 AND BRING THE VICTORY BELL TO SEAL THE DEAL. IT’S GREAT BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME WE’VE BEEN. I DON’T KNOW, I DON’T KNOW, I DON’T EVEN KNOW IF WE’VE EVER BEEN NINE ZERO. BUT IT WAS A GREAT WIN FOR ALL OF US, A GREAT FEELING ALL. HE HAD 210 TOTAL YARDS. THE TEAM RAN FOR 300, BUT THEY HAD A TOTAL OF 433 TOTAL OFFENSIVE YARDS. SCOTT. IT WAS A BARN BURNER. NO, IT WASN’T A BARN BURNER. ACTUALLY. NORTH POLK BLEW THE DOORS OFF OF ADM, ONE THAT WE DIDN’T EXPECT. BUT HEY, I MEAN DIVISIONAL OR DISTRICT CHAMPS. THAT’S A BIG DEAL FOR NORTH POLK HEADING INTO THE POSTSEASON. AWESOME JOB. THANK YOU. CONGRATS TO NORTH POLK. THANK YOU SHANNON. FINAL GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON FOR CLASS 5A4 AND THREE. LET’S STICK WITH FOUR A BECAUSE WE HAD ANOTHER MONSTER SHOWDOWN FOR A DISTRICT TITLE. GILBERT AND PELLA NUMBER SIX AT NUMBER THREE. PELLA UNDEFEATED, THIS ONE FOR FOUR. A DISTRICT FOUR TITLE. ALSO, JAY MCKINSTRY’S FINAL REGULAR SEASON HOME GAME. AFTER 28 YEARS OF COACHING PELLA, HE’S SO RESPECTED THIS KID DRESSED UP AS MCKINSTRY FOR HALLOWEEN. NO SCORING UNTIL LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER. COLLIN, KURT BUYING TIME FADING TO HIS LEFT. AND THERE’S TYSON BARNES IN THE BACK. COURT OF THE END ZONE. IT’S SEVEN. NOTHING. PELLA HAD A CHANCE TO EXTEND THAT LEAD BEFORE THE HALF. KURT THOUGH GOES RIGHT TO GILBERT’S BOWEN. CRUZ SAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND GILBERT WOULD CASH IN. THEY HAD BEEN RUNNING PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE HALF, SO THEY COMPLETELY FULL PELLET. NICE CASTING, BY THE WAY, AND AIR IT OUT. ETHAN RASH TO A WIDE OPEN CRUZ, THE SAME GUY THAT HAD THE PICK. TOUCHDOWN GILBERT. THEY ALSO SCORED THE ONLY TOUCHDOWN OF THE SECOND HALF. THEY UPSET PELLA 14 SEVEN. GILBERT WINS THAT DISTRICT TITLE ON MCKINSTRY’S BIG NIGHT. BOTH HEADED TO THE PLAYOFFS. BACK TO FOUR A DISTRICT FIVE BECAUSE BALLARD AND BOONE BOTH DESPERATELY NEEDING A WIN TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS VIA THE RPI. BUT ONLY ONE CAN COME OUT ON TOP. BOMBERS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR IN THE RED ZONE. RHETT HEDRICK PLOWING IN. BOMBERS STRIKE FIRST. THE ENSUING BALLARD DRIVE. THEY GO WITH A LITTLE TRICKERY. TRY TO KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL HERE, JUDE GIBSON HURLING DUDE SOME TOUGH RUNNING INTO THE RED ZONE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU’RE GOING TO TAKE A LICK. YOU GET TO FINISH THE TOUCHDOWN. HE GETS IN. PART OF A BIG NIGHT FOR BALLARD 42. NOTHING COMFORTABLE WIN AS THEY ADVANCE TO THE POSTSEASON. NEVADA MOST LIKELY IN ATLANTIC THOUGH THEY REALLY NEEDED THIS ONE ON THE ROAD. TROJANS TRYING TO GO DEEP EARLY IN THE GAME. AND ATLANTIC JUST UNDER THROWS THIS ONE. SO LUCAS BROWN EASY PICK PLAYING CENTER FIELD. NICE RETURN AS WELL. THAT SETS THE CUBS UP NICELY FOR A DRIVE. CHUBB’S PASSING HERE CONNER KING IN A ROW. LEFT LUCAS BROWN’S GOING TO DO IT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. HE’S IN THE END ZONE. TURNS THE CORNER AND SCORES. NEXT. THE CUBS ARE GOING TO DO IT ON THE GROUND. ANTHONY EATON HITS THE HOLE AND HAS LOTS OF ROOM TO RUN. HE’S NOT GOING TO BE CAUGHT. CUBS SPRINT INTO THE PLAYOFFS WITH A 42 SEVEN WIN AT HOME TO KEEP THE HOME FANS HAPPY. ALL RIGHT. UP NEXT, THE BIG FIVE GAMES PLUS OUR WILD CARD GAME. WE’RE GOING TO LET THE STATE CHAMPION TENNIS TEAM AT PELLA TAKE US TO BREAK. WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK. YOU’RE GOING DOWN, GILBERT. YOU’RE IN PILLOWS WORLD NOW ON FOOTBALL FRIDAY NIGHT. YOU’RE WATCHING FOOTBALL FRIDAY NIGHT ON KCCI. YEAH. OH, YEAH. THEY’RE BACK. THESE KIDS WERE HAVING FUN. JEFF DUBROF HAVING A GREAT TIME BECAUSE THE PLAYOFFS BEGAN. YEAH. WELCOME TO ELDORA. FIRST TIME DROVE AROUND. I WENT TO THE STATE PARK. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I HAD SOME TIME TO KILL. AWESOME. AWESOME STUFF. NEVER BEEN OUT THERE. IT WAS AWESOME. A DO OR DIE, THOUGH, RIGHT? THIS IS A WIN. OR GO HOME SOUTH. HARDIN TAKING ON PELLA CHRISTIAN IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS. SOUTH HARDIN ONLY HAS ONE LOSS ON THE SEASON. DEFENSES CAME TO PLAY EARLY IN THIS GAME. QUARTERBACK PEYTON WELCH TRYING TO MAKE A PLAY ON THE GROUND. THIRD DOWN, BUT HERE COMES GARRETT WHEELER. GREAT TACKLE THERE TO STOP HIM. SHORT WOULD FORCE THE PUNT SOUTH. HARDIN WOULD GET THE BALL BACK THOUGH, AND ON THE ENSUING DRIVE THEY’RE GOING TO FEED THE BIG BACK. JAXON DRURY BIG HANDOFF AND THERE HE GOES HITTING THE HOLE HARD. BIG GAIN. TIGERS STARTING TO ROLL JUST A LITTLE BIT. AND THEN A COUPLE PLAYS LATER FOURTH AND TWO FROM THE TWO. AND WHY NOT GIVE IT TO DRURY AGAIN. PLOWING INTO THE END ZONE. HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED SOUTH. HARDIN WOULD NOT BE DENIED. THEY WIN THE GAME. FINAL SCORE 40 TO 7. THANK YOU JEFF, THAT WAS OUR WILD CARD GAME TOO. THEY WON THE FAN VOTE. LET’S GO TO FIVE-A TOP 16. MAKE THE RPI IN THE RPI, MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. I SHOULD SAY WAUKEE AT NUMBER 16 HAD TO BEAT COUNCIL BLUFFS ABE LINCOLN TONIGHT AT HOME AND IT WAS NO TROUBLE AT ALL. GRANT GAMBLE JUST RUNNING ALL OVER DUDES ALL NIGHT LONG, SEVEN ZERO AND THEN DOES IT AGAIN FOR THE WARRIORS. WAUKEE WINS BIG. THEY’RE OUT OF THE POSTSEASON 66 TO 7. GRANT GAMBLE TAKE A BOW. TOP TEN MATCHUP IN JOHNSTON SIOUX CITY EAST MAKING THE LONG JOURNEY TO EAST TO TAKE ON THE DRAGONS. PICK THIS UP IN THE THIRD QUARTER. DRAGONS ALREADY UP 28 SEVEN. THEY’RE GOING TO ADD ON. THEY’RE GOING TO GIVE A HANDOFF TO EMERY JONES, WHO FINDS THE BIG BOX. JOHNSON WOULD TAKE A 35 TO 7 LEAD SIOUX CITY EAST WOULD WIND UP SCORING JUST ONE MORE TIME. BUT JOHNSTON 3514, A WINNER. ANKENY’S GAME LAST NIGHT AGAINST CEDAR RAPIDS WAS DELAYED DUE TO LIGHTNING, SO THEY HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO CEDAR RAPIDS, WASHINGTON AGAIN. THAT’S OKAY, NO PROBLEM. KADEN HANKS FUMBLES AT THE GOAL LINE. HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP OUT ZACH BREITBACH, WHO GOT TO SCORE THE TOUCHDOWN. GIVE IT TO THE LINEMAN. HAWKS HAVING A GREAT TIME DANIEL ARMY ESPECIALLY BIG TIME GAME FOR THE RUNNING BACK. AND ANKENY FLEXING AS THEY HEAD TO THE POSTSEASON WITH A BLOWOUT WIN. THEY GOT SOME GAS STATION REWARDS FOR MAKING THAT TRIP TWICE. VALLEY ENDED HIS REGULAR SEASON IN STYLE AT HOME, HOSTING MARSHALLTOWN, AND THEY RAN ALL OVER MARSHALLTOWN. DARIUS MASON GOING TO FIND THE END ZONE 14 NOTHING TIGERS LEADING EARLY. SAME QUARTER, SAME SCORE. DRAKE DEGROOT AIRING IT OUT. TRENT GRIFFIN WOULD LITTLE UNDERTHROWN, BUT HE’S ABLE TO ADJUST. VALLEY GOES ON TO WIN THIS GAME 35 TO 8. YEAH AND JEFF OTTUMWA LOST A HEARTBREAKER 2821 TO WATERLOO. WEST TO MISS THE PLAYOFFS DESPITE A72 RECORD BECAUSE OF THE RPI STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE.
