And then there were 11: The number of undefeated teams in Class 3A dropped from 13 to 11 after last Friday’s
games and losses by Charles City and Dallas Center-Grimes. There are 44 teams overall in the state that remain
undefeated (Six in Class 4A, seven in Class 2A, four in Class 1A, five in Class A, 11 in 8-Player). This is the 25th
season that Clear Lake has been undefeated through five games and the 20th time in 90 seasons that the Lions
have started out 5-0 (those other five times they didn’t start out 5-0….4-0-1 records in 1936, 1946, 1948, and
1970….3-0-2 in 1925)
Mr. Special Teams: Jake Kopriva’s 44-yard touchdown return against New Hampton gives the Lions’ junior his
third special teams touchdown in two games. Kopriva pulled the “double-double” against Humboldt, returning a
punt 72 yards against a touchdown and a kick return 87 yards for a score. In records kept since 1968, Kopriva
finds himself in the school record book, tying Scott Huntley who had two punt returns for touchdown in the 1973
season. Kopriva would become the first Lion to return two kickoffs for a touchdown if he can find his way to the
end zone again this season. Huntley would have been the first Lion since 1968 to return both a kickoff and punt
return for a touchdown in the same game, but the punt return was called by due to a penalty.
Rankings: Each week, six different sets of rankings come out for Class 3A football….the Radio Iowa sports
broadcasters poll, the Associated Press poll, the Des Moines Register poll, the Iowa Sports Connection poll, the
Iowa Preps-dot-com rankings, and the Brent Moore-ISU scientific rankings. Each week we will compile the
rankings and do a composite ranking, averaging out the rankings by awarding 10 points for a team ranked 1 s , 9
points for a 2nd ranked team, and so on.
