North Scott Advances to State Finals, Other State Scores:
North Scott quarterback Carter Markham accounted for two total touchdowns as the Lancers upset Cedar Rapids Xavier 17-10 in overtime in a Class 3A State Football semifinal last night.
The Lancers took down Mount Pleasant 58-26 in a Round Two matchup in late October and have now played themselves into the State Finals.
North Scott took a 10-0 lead into the fourth quarter before the Saints put up 10 unanswered points to tie the game, including a game-tying 33-yard field goal by Lincoln Oakley with zeroes on the fourth quarter game clock.
Markham hooked up with Parker Ruth from 7-yards out for the lone score of the overtime to period to move the Lancers to the State Title, where they will take on Harlan.

Iowa Football Plays Rare Friday Night Tilt:
The Floyd of Rosedale is on the line tonight in a rare Friday night tilt as the Iowa Hawkeye football team travels north to Minneapolis to battle with the Golden Gophers.
Iowa is coming off an impressive, 49-7 beatdown of Michigan State last weekend while the Gophers earned their first win — a 41-14 win over Illinois.
Gopher head coach P.J. Fleck expects tonight’s game to be a thriller.
“Typical rivalry between Minnesota-Iowa, records get thrown out the window and now just you go out there and play for 60 minutes.” Fleck said.
Tonight’s game will kick at 6:00 p.m., coverage on KILJ-FM will begin at 4:00 p.m. with the Hawkeye Kickoff Show.
