All the Class 2A Games in Week 1 of Iowa High School Football

Kuemper-Cherokee among top 2A games in Week 1

Just a few days remain in August, and that means Week 1 of the Iowa high school football regular season is here.

As we approach the first big Friday Night Lights of the fall, let us take a look at some of the top games by classification on the schedule this week.

Here are some of the top games in 2A in Iowa high school football for Week 1:

Carroll Kuemper vs. Cherokee

Both Carroll Kuemper and Cherokee have high expectations for this coming season. They also return standouts at the quarterback position who led their respective team to the playoffs. For the Knights, it all starts with Brock Badding, as the Braves counter with Jaxon Paulsrud. Kuemper leads the series, 3-0, having last played in 2023.

Woodward-Granger vs. Madrid

The Hawks and Tigers have collided in classic battles each of the past two seasons. Last year, Woodward-Granger prevailed, 29-28, with Madrid winning in 2023 by a final of 28-27. Prior to that, the Hawks had reeled off six straight - all by double figures.

Central Lyon/George-Little Rock vs. MOC-Floyd Valley

During a 27-14 victory by Central Lyon/George-Little Rock over MOC-Floyd Valley last year, 31 of the 41 total points were scored in the first half. The Lions have Jayden Daale back, as he is an elite talent at the QB position and had three touchdowns in that meeting last year.
