IOWA REPORTS
LAST REGIONAL
Decorah edged Charles City 45-43.
I find it puzzling why I can't find a link to this important game when I can find tons of games in MN and the Dakotas up the next day.
Now the state pairings are all set.

COACHING NEWS
Chad Jilek has resigned at Mason City. MC was 9-58 during his 3 years. Interesting comment also on the story from the Mason City Globe Gazette.
