Really cool nugget from the pregame: Southeast Polk had a fundraiser and just presented a check at midfield to Cedar Rapids Jefferson for $5,000 to aid in Derecho relief.

How good has Mount Vernon been?
Averaging 29 points per game, allowing 4.6. Joey Rhomberg leads 3A in pass completions with 53. Caden Stimmel and Brady Erickson are 1 and 2 in receptions. The defense is also tied for the lead in sacks (12) and tackles for loss (33). Balanced.

“He’s (DeLong) a Division 1 athlete,” Regina Coach Jason Dumont.
The final score won’t reflect this, but Nolan DeLong from Durant had a heck of a game. He ran the ball hard tonight and had several explosive bursts. He had 147 yards and a TD on 30 carries against one of the best, if not the best defense in 1A. Worth noting.

Keep letting Wiggins play plenty of “point.” The more opportunities he has to handle the ball, the more engaged he’ll be. When he struggles, it’s often because he’s playing off the ball and not getting regular touches, that’s when he disengages.
