(Radio Iowa) – The class 3A semifinals in football take place this (Thursday) afternoon (4-p.m.) at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley takes on second ranked Harlan. Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley won a state title in 2016 but this is the Nighthawks first trip to the dome as a 3A school.

That’s Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley coach Cory Brandt who says they need to find a way to control a versatile Harlan offense.

Harlan quarterback Teagon Kasperbauer has passed for more than 2100 yards.

Harlan coach Todd Bladt says Nighthawk offense is difficult to prepare for.

Bladt says limiting mistakes and turnovers is a key.

Bladt says the Harlan offense will need to handle the pressure of the Nighthawk defense.
