We are posting what we call our Power Grids. This is a different way of looking at the rankings and strength of schedule. Below are those grids for 5A & 4A along with a comment or two for each class:

5A: Yes, DCG is the only undefeated 5A program, but they have played the fewest matches against top 25 schools out of all of the 15 ranked schools. How is this going to play out in the postseason? Hard to say, but we may have an indication this weekend, as DCG and Waukee Northwest are both competing in the Urbandale tournament. Needless to say, if they play each other, the winner will get the overall #1 seed in 5A when the pairings are released next Thursday.

4A: Assumption is the only 4A school with more than 2 wins against top 25 schools. Sioux Center & Assumption are the only 2 4A schools without a loss outside of the top 25. Also, Assumption, Western Dubuque and Norwalk are the only 3 4A schools with a winning record against the top 50.

Another great night of Iowa High School volleyball. We are now only two weeks away from the release of postseason pairings so schools now have limited opportunities to move the needle. A few notable results from tonight’s action:

- 1A #5 Wapsie Valley wins 3 matches, including victories over 1A #13 Saint Ansgar and a huge win over 1A #2 Janesville. This win will likely have postseason seed implications.

- 5A #1 Waukee Northwest sweeps 5A #4 Ankeny. The Wolves look like the #1 seed heading into the postseason.

- 2A #13 Regina Catholic with a 3-1 win at 2A # 7 Hudson. Regina trying to right the ship after a tough 1-6 stretch over the last 2 weeks.

- 4A #1 Assumption with three huge wins over 3A #2 Dike-New Hartford, 5A #15 Iowa City High and 5A #7 Iowa City Liberty.

- 2A #2 Grundy Center with a couple of wins at Grinnell including a win over 4A #14 Grinnell. Grundy Center moves to 23-2 on the season, with their only losses coming against 2A #3 Union Community, a loss that they avenged last weekend with a 2 set sweep, and a 2-1 loss to 1A #1 Ankeny Christian.

We have a lot of great tournament action coming up this weekend that we are really looking forward to!

Iowa High School volleyball, you gotta love it!! ❤️

@PrepDigChris From what I gather is if they did what you suggest, they would then have to follow the new 140 school days before becoming eligible.

@PrepDigChris Can the website allow us to sign up for both days in IA without having to do it individually?

[Greg Cotton @GoTime17]

Zoe Cinadr 2030 PIN that is going to be a problem for opposing teams. Excited to be part of growing her game this season with 14Mizuno. https://t.co/DNCdZTqrYW
