Three No. 1-ranked teams in The Gazette’s Iowa high school football poll faced top-four opponents on the road in Week 4.
And two of them fell from the ranks of the unbeaten.
Class 5A No. 1 Southeast Polk took its first loss in a rematch of last year’s 4A title game, with No. 3 Ankeny again beating the Rams, 21-7. In Class 2A, No. 3 Southeast Valley upended top-ranked Ida Grove OABCIG to open District 2 play, 44-22.
The other No. 1 in that group, Class 4A’s North Scott, beat fourth-ranked Cedar Rapids Xavier 20-8.
Those were three of 11 top-10 matchups this week, all in the state’s larger four classes. Class 4A actually had two top-four matchups this week, with second-ranked Indianola edging No. 3 Lewis Central.
