Friday night and Week 11 brought with them the state quarterfinals in Iowa high school football.

The final four in each of the seven classifications are now set, as all the games from here on out will take place at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls.

Johnston, the No. 1 overall team entering the week, punched its ticket in Class 5A with a 21-7 victory over perennial state contender West Des Moines Valley. Dowling Catholic, Southeast Polk and Ankeny will join the Dragons, making it an all-central Iowa semifinal.

Cedar Rapids Xavier, the defending state champion in Class 4A, rolled past Newton to move on, 48-9. West Lyon, who won it all in Class 1A a year ago and Class 2A two seasons back, is back in the final four in Class 1A after taking care of Clarion-Goldfield/Dows, 42-14.

Kuemper Catholic, who went unbeaten in winning gold in Class 2A, was eliminated by Spirit Lake, 24-17.

Here is how the High School On SI Iowa Top 25 fared in Week 11.
