Lewis Central Starts 4A District Play Against Rebounding Maroons
/in Football /by Romelle SlaughterAfter having their 17-game winning streak snapped, one team looks to start a new streak by starting district play against the “new kids on the block”.
And no, we’re not referring to Mark Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre and that bunch.
Council Bluffs Lewis Central makes their inaugural trip in Class 4A district play to one of the storied programs of recent years, the Dowling Catholic Maroons in CenturyLink’s Game of the Week on CISN.
The Maroons fell victim to the same ‘bounce of the ball’ that they benefited from a week earlier, before mounting a comeback, but it wasn’t enough as DCHS dropped a 24-21 game to rival Valley last Friday. Valley’s defense gave Ryan Boyle and the Maroons offense fits as Boyle was picked off twice, one resulting in a Valley touchdown. Dowling’s defensive backfield had no answer for the Tigers’ Dominique Dafney, who hauled in 10 receptions for 141 yards and two touchdowns.
Lewis Central are the “new kids on the block”. After years of being in Class 3A, the Titans moved up to 4A this year and have put together a 4-0 start, including a program-making win at Harlan. Quarterback Austin Simmons, a South Dakota recruit, went 14-19 for 279 yards and 5 touchdowns in a 49-15 win over Council Bluffs Jefferson last week. Two of those passing scoring strikes was to his favorite receiver, Conner Hanafan.
Will the Titans make Dowling their second significant win for their program, or will the Maroons get back on track?

Where: Valley Stadium, West Des Moines, Iowa

Valley Holds Off Dowling Rally For 24-21 Upset Win
/in Football /by Romelle SlaughterDominique Dafney wanted to make a statement. He wrote “Beat Dowling” on his shirt, wristband and anything else that would hold ink.
The senior wide receiver from Valley had the game of his career with 10 catches and 141 yards and two TDs. But it was his catches in the clutch that helped the Tigers pull the upset over top-ranked Dowling Catholic. The 24-21 win is the Tigers’ first over the Maroons since 2012.
Rocky Lombardi and Dominique Dafney was the 1-2 punch that the Tigers needed to snap the Maroons’ 17-game winning streak. Lombardi passed for 15-28 for 206 yards and two touchdown strikes to Dafney. Drew Gray grinded up the Dowling defense with 97 yards on 32 carries. After a Gabe Honnold 27-yd field goal to take a 3-0 lead, the Tigers recovered a kick off return fumble and capitalized 2 plays later with when Lombardi found Dafney for a 20-yard scoring strike for a 10-0 lead.
Dowling closed the gap to 10-7 on a Ryan Boyle to Charlie Schulte 29-yard touchdown pass. Rocky Lombardi found Dominique Dafney again for an 8-yard scoring pass. With 38 seconds left before halftime, Boyle forced a pass and it was intercepted by Noah Barr and Barr weaves his way for a 38-yard touchdown as Valley went into the half with a 24-7 lead.
Dowling crawled back into the contest as Boyle plunged into the end zone from 1 yard out to make it 24-14, with 8:34 left in the game. After forcing a three-and-out, Dowling hit paydirt once again with another Boyle 2 yard quaterback sneak. That drive was set up by a 42 yard pass play from Boyle (10-20, 138, 1 TD, 2 INT) to Schulte.
But when the Tigers needed to keep a drive going, it was Dafney who made a catch on 4th and 11 to extend the drive and ice the game away.
“It was an awesome win for the kids,” said coach Gary Swenson after the game.
The Tigers open District play at Des Moines Hoover.
The Maroons will host Council Bluffs Lewis Central in district play next Friday.
A Rivalry Renewed: Dowling vs. Valley
/in Football /by Romelle SlaughterWhen two teams meet in a rivalry, it’s more than “a game.” It’s families, friends, neighborhoods, and a community divided…in the name of loyalty, tradition, and support.
On Friday, one rivalry will be renewed, with bigger stakes than city pride.
The #8 Valley Tigers and the #1 Dowling Catholic Maroons will lock horns for the 65th time as our CISN CenturyLink Game of the Week. And for the Tigers, it is Homecoming.
After a season-opening loss, Valley has rebounded with two resounding wins. Quarterback Rocky Lombardi, running back Drew Gray and Dominique Dafney provided the triple punch for the Tigers on offense. Last week against Southeast Polk, Lombardi was 14-19 for 266 yards passing for three touchdowns, all of them to Dafney. Gray pummeled the Rams’ defense for 161 yards on 23 carries. Valley’s defense surrendered 38 rushing yards to SE Polk in a 42-14 win.
Dowling turned their #1 vs #2 showdown against Waukee last week into a rout. Quarterback Ryan Boyle accounted for 5 of the Maroons’ touchdowns and the defense shut down a Waukee offense to a mind boggling 32 yards, 15 of those from coming from All-State running back Trevor Allen. Boyle passed for 169 yards and rushed for 152 as Dowling bolted to a 28-0 first quarter lead en route to a 45-14 win.
Can Valley do what no one hasn’t done since 2012 and take down the undefeated Maroons? Can the Tigers avenge the semi-final playoff loss in the UNI-Dome to end last season?
Who: #1 Dowling Catholic (3-0) at #8 WDM Valley (2-1)
Where: Valley Stadium, West Des Moines, Iowa
When: Friday, September 19th, 7:30pm kickoff
The Facts: Dowling routed Waukee, 45-14 last week. Valley defeated SE Polk, 42-14. Dowling leads the series, 38-26, including playoffs since it became an annual rivalry in 1968.

Boyle Dazzles as Dowling overwhelms Waukee, 45-14
/in Football /by Romelle SlaughterRyan Boyle is a competitive person. He doesn’t like losing at anything. And it seems that mentality carries over to big games, the bigger the stage, the larger he performs.
Dowling Catholic’s signal caller took the highly anticipated #1 vs. #2 matchup to new heights with 45-14 win over previously unbeaten Waukee.
The Maroons dominated from start to finish at Valley Stadium, rolling to 436 yards of total offense. Boyle was involved in five scoring plays. Three came on runs of 6, 22 and his most exciting may have come on a 48 yard run on a 4th and 1 play. Boyle also threw two passes for TDs, one to Charlie Schulte for 23 yard and Ben McNeal for 8 yards.
Dowling sprinted to a 28-0 lead after one quarter. At half, they were up 45-7. Waukee scored its first touchdown in three games against Dowling when QB Ben Ferkin found TE Michael Jacobsen in the endzone for a 15 yard score. Jacobson would leave the game and never return.
Action in the 3rd quarter between Dowling Catholic and Waukee Friday night.
The Maroon defense forced several three-and-outs, but special teams, according to coach Tom Wilson, “were huge.” Three punts were altered by the punt return team. Charlie Schulte would block one that would lead to a 2 play drive to go up 21-0 after Boyle’s 6 yard touchdown run.
Gray Gochenour would score a TD and Nick McLellan finished the scoring in the 1st half with a 25 yard field goal to give the Maroons a 45-7 halftime lead.
The lone score in the 2nd half was a Ferkin 22 yard touchdown pass to Adam Rose with 8:22 left in the game to make the final score 45-14.
Dowling will come back to Valley Stadium next week as the visitor against the Valley Tigers who improved to 2-1 with a win at Southeast Polk, 42-14. Waukee will play host to Johnston before beginning district play in two weeks.
We’ll have the Dowling/Valley game on Central Iowa Sports Network next week beginning at 7pm.
Top Dogs in 4A Set: #1 Dowling Catholic vs. #2 Waukee
/in Football /by Romelle SlaughterAs Iowa and Iowa State will meet for their annual rivalry game. there’s another big game that you should know about, and it’s an early season showdown between the top dogs in Class 4A.
The Battle between #1 Dowling Catholic vs. #2 Waukee is your CISN Game of the Week, presented by CenturyLink.
After a 49-0 thrashing of Urbandale, the top-ranked Maroons looks to keep their 16-game unbeaten streak intact. Quarterback Ryan Boyle is the linchpin for the Maroons offensive attack (16-25, 241 yds, 1 TD). He’s not alone, as Isaiah Patton, Cole Deskin compliments Boyle with the ground game, and Charlie Schulte is the big play guy at wide receiver. Max Morris and Jo Jo Jok continues to play solid on the defensive line, as linebacker Rodney Harris and free safety Nick Wilson continue to make big stops.
Waukee comes into Friday matchup 2-0, after a wild 48-41 win at Southeast Polk. Trevor Allen and Pat Gray has been the 1-2 punch for the Warriors, combining for 676 total (rushing & receiving) yards and 7 touchdowns. Ben Ferkin continues to be the steady hand under center (19-30, 260 yds, 5 touchdowns) for Waukee, finding multiple receivers such as Allen, Michael Jacobson, and Koy Schneiter. On the defense, you could say it’s an all-star cast, because everyone makes a play, as linebacker Kyle Boulanger leads the Warriors with 16.5 tackles, with cornerback Cedric Dobbins and defensive end Anthony Nelson involved in key plays. However, Gray is out this week with a leg injury according to Waukee Head Coach, Scott Carlson.
Dowling knocked Waukee out of the 2013 playoffs in a 14-9 contest back in November. You can bet the boys in purple have not forgotten.
Who: #2 Waukee (2-0) at #1 Dowling Catholic (2-0)
Where: Valley Stadium, West Des Moines, Iowa
When: Friday, September 12th, 7:30pm kickoff
The Facts: Waukee outlasted Southeast Polk in a 48-41 shootout last week. Dowling had no problems handling Urbandale in a 49-0 rout.

Tigers Tame Trojans in Home Opener, 27-6
/in Soccer /by Romelle SlaughterDrew Gray ran all over the Iowa City West Trojans Friday night as the senior running back led the Valley Tigers to their first win of the season.
The senior running back is now the featured cog in the Gary Swenson offense. He finished with 2 touchdowns and 195 yards rushing.
The Tigers improved to 1-1 as the Trojans evened their record with the the loss at Valley Stadium.
Valley only scored three points in the second half, but by then, the game was in hand. The Tigers led 24-7 at the break behind a hug offensive line surge the kept the Trojan defense on the field for most of the first half.
QB Rocky Lombardi seemed more poised under center this week for the Tigers. The sophomore finished with 10-23 passing for 177 yards and one TD and 3 interceptions. Dominique Dafney 6 catches for 85 yards and Carlo Marble hauled in 2 passes for 52 yards including a 4 yard TD catch.
Lombardi graded his performance a B in his postgame interview on the Central Iowa Sports Network.
Valley out rushed West 281 to 42. And if it wasn’t for a 53 yard pass play late the 4th quarter, the passing yards would have been even more lopsided. Aaron Bleil called his own number late in the 4th quarter for the Trojan’s only score.
Valley kicker Cole Hahn added two field goals of 26 and 29 yards.
The Trojans go on the road again next week to play Cedar Rapids Washington. The Tigers head east for a big game with Southeast Polk.
