Iowa City Liberty is Class 5A’s eighth-ranked football team but played without Sutton Koller, its top touchdown scorer, Friday night against Cedar Rapids Washington. Other guys stepped up in his absence and allowed the Lightning to rally in the second half for a 27-22 victory.
Cedar Rapids Xavier quarterback Cash Parks was starting over after missing the last three Saints games after being involved in an auto accident.
