Iowa City High hosts Cedar Rapids Kennedy tonight in a Mississippi Valley Conference battle. The Little Hawks are coming off a key win against Cedar Rapids Xavier, while Kennedy looks to follow up their first win of the season with an upset victory.

Fans gathered in the high school parking lot. They were adorned in City High gear, pumping music and grilling food. Fun to see the fan support like this. A group of guys reminded me of David Putty from Seinfeld fame. They wore body paint, spelling out City High. Hey, "Got to support the team."Not so fast. Some of these Iowa City High student tailgaters have any different idea. They spell and shout who they think will win.
