Cedar Falls 21, Iowa City High 7



The sixth-ranked Cedar Falls football team reversed its fortunes Monday night against No. 9 Iowa City High in winning the second round of the Class 4A football playoffs, 21-7, in the UNI-Dome.

After giving up two touchdowns in the first minute of last year's quarterfinal game at Bates Field in Iowa City, the Tigers were able to keep the Little Hawks out of the end zone until very late. City High was 1-for-5 on fourth-down conversions, while Barkley Hill paced the Tigers' rushing attack, gaining 149 yards and scored two touchdowns. Brayden Longnecker added a six-yard score to break the ice.

The Tigers will play Friday night at Kingston Stadium in Cedar Rapids in the quarterfinals against Cedar Rapids Washington, a 28-26 upset winner over eastern-half top seed Linn-Mar in Marion.
