It’s Greene County hosting Union (La Porte City) tomorrow night at Linduska Field in Jefferson in round one of the Class 2A Iowa high school football playoffs. Thirty-two of the 48 teams in 2A qualified for the postseason and first place teams from their district host a fourth place team from another district in round one. The Rams won District 8 while the Knights were fourth in District 4. Greene County is 7-1 and ranked number 7 in the 2A polls while Union is unranked at 2-6.
Caden Duncan is head coach of the Rams and he told Raccoon Valley Radio Union has some talent. “They have some good athletes. They have a sophomore quarterback, but he’s really athletic. They have a tight end that is about 6′ 2″ and 200 lbs. and looks to be their best player overall. He’s a pretty smooth looking athlete and they also have a pretty fast running back. Overall, I wouldn’t say they’re a huge team up front, but definitely athletic. We know they won’t be a pushover, they definitely have some talent.”
Game time is 7 p.m. Friday with coverage at 6:15 pm. on KG98 and streamed on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
