Below are links to coverage of City Highβs 30-0 win against Linn-Mar in Week Eight. The Little Hawks put on a show despite a downpour that threatened to put a damper on Senior Night.
Instead, the senior class “swarmed” together for the coin toss and never looked back. The dominate victory over a historical rival had major playoff implication, moving City High to No. 10 in the Class 5A RPI.
The top 16 seeded teams at the end of the year qualify for the playoffs, with the top eight seeds getting to host first round games.
The Little Hawks look ahead to a similar challenge in Week Nine against another traditional eastern Iowa power in Bettendorf (No. 3 RPI).
