Johnston, the No. 1 team in the High School On SI Iowa Top 25, survived and advanced, eliminating 22nd-ranked Pleasant Valley, 35-7. Cedar Rapids Xavier, the reigning Class 4A state champions, also had no problems, downing Davenport North, 52-0.

The same could not be said for Sioux City East, Carroll, Indianola and a handful of others, as they were knocked out.
