Well, I'd have to check, but I'm guessing this weekend was the busiest sports weekend of the entire year and it had its share of disappointments and triumphs to go around:
City High lost to Dowling Catholic in the 4A State Football Title Game, Regina won the 2A title and Solon won the 3A title- giving Johnson County 2 out of the 3 football titles they were going for.
Iowa lost to Ohio State by 3. Again. For the second year in a row. In almost the exact same way we lost to both Northwestern and Wisconsin. By blowing a late 4th Quarter lead... not the send off the Seniors were looking for, I think. (But in some perspective- if memory serves, in 2008 we lost some close games by not a lot of points and in 2009 we won some close games by not a lot of points and now, the circle sweeps around again and we lose some close games by not a lot of points. We go up, we go down. Doesn't mean we suck- in fact, this year, we had a damn good season and there's a lot to celebrate here!)
The Iowa Women won at Carver Hawkeye, the Iowa Men lost to Xavier but won their consolation game against Alabama- the basketball season is getting revved up and it looks to be a fun and exciting one!
Wrestling opened their season with the Iowa City Duels and won. Surprise, surprise...
