Taking you around Iowa high school football this Friday night, as some schools finish up the regular season while others begin their playoff journey.
Depth is a wonderful thing this time of year. Whether you’re an Iowa high school football team looking for a late-season push or a newspaper sports staff looking to keep everything covered during a busy October, having a deep and successful squad makes everything flow better. It allows people to step out for various reasons without the overall product suffering. Why is this relevant here? Well, Register deputy sports editor Matthew Bain — your usual live-blog host on Friday nights — is out for a while doing fatherly things (Congrats on the dad status, Matt. Get some sleep). So the Register is shifting things around a bit tonight as far as who’s doing what. Reporter Dargan Southard will have you covered here, providing updates, analysis and commentary throughout a busy night of regular-season finales and playoff openers.
