Tonight marks the start of the Iowa high school football playoffs for the four smallest classes including 2A where Greene County is at home in Jefferson at Linduska Field with the Union (La Porte City) Knights. Coach Caden Duncan’s Rams are 7-1 overall champions of District 8 while Union is 2-6 and the fourth place team from District 4.

Statistically, the Rams hold an edge on paper in the great majority of categories, including points scored, points allowed, turnover margin, yards rushing, yards, passing, and most special teams. Coach Duncan cautions against over confidence and he told Raccoon Valley Radio the Knights have some good athletes and they play in the northeast Iowa district, which has traditionally been very solid.

Fans are reminded no cash will be accepted for ticket purchases. That must be done in advance through the Iowa High School Athletic Association website or with a smartphone and QR Code at the gate.

Game time is 7 o’clock with coverage at 6:15 p.m. on KG98 and streamed on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
