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 A in Iowa high school football for Week 1:

Hudson vs. North Linn

Consistency has been the name of the game for North Linn, as they have four consecutive winning seasons. The Lynx will lean on returning players Will Sommerfelt, Landon Mertens and Tate Woods among others as they look to keep that going. Hudson is coming off back-to-back 5-4 campaigns as leading receiver Anderson Yoder returns.

Columbus vs. BGM

BGM and talented quarterback Beau Burns begin action in 11-player after finding success in the eight-player ranks. Burns had almost 2,400 yards passing, nearly 1,500 yards rushing and 59 combined touchdowns. Columbus also returns its starting QB in Trevor Phillips along with receiver Tyson Kaalberg, but must replace leading rusher Riley Kaalberg.

Mount Ayr vs. Shenandoah

Two top quarterbacks meet in this one, as Mount Ayr is paced by Jackson Ruggles and Shenandoah features Joey O’Rourke. Ruggles threw for 975 yards with 10 touchdowns, adding another 541 yards and 11 scores on the ground. O’Rourke, meanwhile, completed 59 percent of his passes for 1,516 yards and 15 TDs, rushing for seven more scores as a sophomore.
