Here are five storylines to follow during the 2024 Iowa High School Athletic Association traditional state wrestling tournament at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
Here is a class-by-class breakdown of the 2024 Iowa high school boys’ state wrestling tournament, which begins Wednesday and runs through Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
Lisbon and Central City played a Class 1A district boys’ basketball game Monday night at Lisbon in which both teams took turns going on offensive runs. In the end, a strong fourth quarter lifted the Lions to a 64-47 victory.
Lisbon beat Central City 64-47 in a Class 1A Iowa high school boys’ basketball first-round district tournament game Monday night.
Iowa suffered consecutive losses for the first time since 2018, Iowa State beat UNI, Coe won the Bremner Cup dual against Cornell, Wartburg won the American Rivers Conference again and Tanner Sloan posted a notable win during the Wrestling Weekend That Was.
Five area Iowa high school girls’ basketball games to watch Tuesday in Class 2A regional quarterfinals.
North Linn and Western Christian finish atop their respective classes, as the Iowa High School Athletic Association released its final boys’ basketball rankings of the season in Class 1A and 2A. Cedar Rapids Kennedy and Clear Lake remain top-ranked in Class 4A and 3A, which has one more set of rankings next week.
There were a few preliminary round Class 1A games Friday night, but the Iowa high school boys’ basketball postseason really gets cranking Monday night in 1A and Class 2A. Alburnett finished regular season on 14-game win streak and is a top seed in its 2A district.
West Delaware’s Jax Miller narrowly missed out on the boys’ state wrestling tournament in 2022 and qualified as a district runner-up in 2023. On Saturday, in his home gym, the junior Hawk found himself in uncharted territory and for good reason.
The work and dedication since a disappointing 2023 finish have paid dividends for Iowa City West’s Justin Avila. Fourth-ranked Avila defeated Ankeny Centennial’s Lucas Bruhl, avenging a loss in last season’s state quarterfinals and capturing the 150-pound title at the Class 3A district meet Saturday at Cedar Rapids Prairie. He was one of three West champions and eight state qualifiers.

Iowa City High’s Polyak capped off a brilliant prep career by defending his title in the 200-yard individual medley, winning in 1:46.35, five seconds ahead of runner-up Dylan Nelson of West Des Moines Valley. He backed that up by taking the 100 breaststroke title in 53.42 seconds. In most years, that performance would have likely been worthy of the swimmer of the meet honor, but that went to his I-Fly club teammate Owen Chiles of Pleasant Valley, who set state records in winning the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke.
