(Radio Iowa) – In class A top ranked Grundy Center hosts Nodaway Valley. Grundy Center coach Travis Zajac says Nodaway Valley is playing its best at the right time.

Zajac says the Spartans expect a tough challenge.

(Radio Iowa) – Third ranked Audubon hosts number-seven Newell-Fonda tonight, in an 8-player contest. Audubon is 7-0 and none of the games have been close. Newell-Fonda coach Brian Wilken says his team is excited with the opportunity.

Newell-Fonda uses a lot of balance in their run game.

Wilken says the Mustangs must limit turnovers.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets are likely to be without their top two wide receivers when they play the Chiefs in Kansas City on Sunday. Coach Adam Gase ruled out Breshad Perriman before practice Friday because the receiver remains in concussion protocol after his injury late in the Jets’ 18-10 loss to Buffalo last Sunday. Gase says it is “not looking great” for leading receiver Jamison Crowder to play because of a groin injury that also kept him out last week. The coach adds that starting safety Bradley McDougald and linebacker Blake Cashman are both out against the Chiefs.

It’s time for the Round of 16 in the Iowa High School Football Playoffs tonight. Games around the state are set for 7:00 p.m. kickoffs. Here is a look at the games featuring area teams in each class.
