Here's how Iowa's high school football teams fared in Week 2 (September 6, 2024)

Two weeks into the 2024 Iowa high school football season, the top-ranked team in Class 5A is still without a win.

The Dowling-Valley rivalry in West Des Moines lived up to expectations Friday night when the second-ranked Maroons defeated the first-ranked Tigers 26-23 in overtime.

Ankeny, the No. 1 team last season according to The Gazette, fell to 0-2 with a 21-13 loss to No. 5 Southeast Polk after an opening loss to Ankeny Centennial.

In Eastern Iowa, another No. 1 team had to admit defeat to top-class competition: Williamsburg (3A) narrowly lost to Cedar Rapids Xavier (4A No. 7) 29:27.

However, it wasn't just the top 10 matchups that are likely to see changes in next week's Gazette poll. Eight ranked teams lost to unranked opponents.
