Who the ranked Iowa high school football teams face Friday night
Southeast Polk and Ankeny have met in three of the last four Class 5A state championship games. The Rams have won the last three titles and the Hawks claimed the one before that run. So it’s a little odd to see 0-1 records by their names entering a big game Friday.
Still, both the Rams (No. 5) and Hawks (No. 7) are ranked, part of a strong Class 5A Central Iowa contingent that also happens to include a 1-vs.-2 rivalry game this week.
West Des Moines Valley and West Des Moines Dowling are both 1-0 ahead of their clash at Valley Stadium.
The Iowa Valley Tigers, meanwhile, already are 2-0. So is WACO and those two ranked 8-Player teams meet Friday in Marengo.
Here’s a look at who all 71 teams ranked in this week’s Gazette poll face Friday night.

“That’s part of what rivalries are all about,” Fleck said Monday. “They come down to, usually, a one-possession game, and then some of the best players are making the biggest plays.”
What made last year’s finish special — at least from Minnesota’s perspective — was the backdrop.
The Gophers were seeking their first victory over Iowa since 2014 and first triumph at Kinnick since 1999. Holding a 12-10 lead with 1:40 left in the fourth quarter, the Gophers faced fourth-and-7 at their 16-yard line and were forced to punt to the game-changing DeJean.
As Marc Crawford’s 37-yard boot angled toward the right sideline in front of the Minnesota bench, DeJean pointed with his right hand and waved with his left, seemingly alerting teammates to stay away from the ball when it hit the turf.
DeJean played the ball on a hop near the sideline, spun out of an attempted tackle, made another move and raced 54 yards across the field for an apparent touchdown that sent the crowd of 69,250 into a frenzy. The Floyd of Rosedale trophy appeared destined to spend a ninth consecutive year in Iowa City.
Except … officials wanted to take a further look at the play via video review, and Ferentz said he initially was told it was to see if DeJean stayed in bounds. After a delay of a couple of minutes, they ruled that DeJean made an improper fair-catch signal — the wave with his left hand — that negated the return. Instead, the Hawkeyes got the ball at their 46 with 1:32 to play. The Gophers defense made sure Iowa wouldn’t drive for a winning field goal. Cornerback Justin Walley intercepted Deacon Hill’s third-and-17 pass with one minute left.
Leaders of the Iowa Medical Society say the state faces a workforce crisis in the health care sector. Dr. Christina Taylor is president of the Iowa Medical Society’s board of directors.
“We actually have a very looming physician shortage and it’s a real issue and we’re concerned about the ability to maintain proper access to Iowans,” Taylor said during a weekend appearance on “Iowa Press” on Iowa PBS.
Iowa already ranks 45th in doctor-to-patient ratio. “As of recent data, we have about 5778 doctors, down from 5900 a year ago,” Taylor said, “so we are seeing the number of practicing physicians decrease.”
Dr. Gerard, a clinical professor of psychiatry and emergency medicine and one of five deans at the University of Iowa’s College of Medicine, said the number of physicians, nationally, does not match demand.
“It’s a complex issue. We have a terrible mismatch of demand for health care versus the supply of health care workers, including the physicians,” Clancy said. “Ten thousand Baby Boomers are retiring every day in America right now. Those Baby Boomers need more health care.”
Iowa Medical Society CEO Steve Churchill indicated the group will ask the 2025 Iowa Legislature to provide state funding to significantly increase the residency slots for medical students at Iowa hospitals and academic centers.
“That is the leading indicator of where a resident will choose to practice is where they went to residency school, a residency slot,” Churchill said on “Iowa Press” on Iowa PBS. “In Iowa, we have a shortage.”
The group will be asking lawmakers to fund creation of 200 more residency slots, at a cost of $20 million a year according to Dr. Clancy’s calculation The Iowa Medical Society will also recommend expanding state programs that erase college debt for physicians who choose to practice in Iowa after getting their medical license.
