There were more points scored in an Iowa high school football playoff game Thursday than in most prep basketball games.
The final: Remsen St. Mary’s 108, Montezuma 94. Yes, 108-94.
The eight-player on each side game took 4:01. There were 66 points scored in the third quarter and 54 tacked on in the fourth. That makes for 120 points after halftime! There were 29 touchdowns in the entire game.

Quite a few record-breaking performances here on deck with Montezuma and St. Mary's. Most combined points ever scored in an 8P game is 178. Eddie Burgess has 545 yards passing, already good for #3 on 8P list. Thanks to @cjandringa for supplying stats for our semifinals! #iahsfb
