Iowa high school football 2023 scores: How the ranked teams fared in Week 7
Solon and Clarksville knock off top-ranked Williamsburg (3A) and Gladbrook-Reinbeck (8-Player), respectively
It had been too long since a chaotic week atop The Gazette’s Iowa high school football poll, right?
Friday night, two top-ranked teams fell — No. 7 Solon took down Williamsburg 21-14 in Class 3A and ninth-ranked Clarksville improved to 8-0 by rallying to beat Gladbrook-Reinbeck 38-36 in 8-Player.
Gladbrook-Reinbeck’s loss means Southeast Polk (5A), Van Meter (2A) and Grundy Center (1A) are likely the last remaining teams with a shot at wire-to-wire stays at No. 1 in their classes.
