IHSAA Foot ball Announcement:
2020 Scheduling Plan
REGULAR SEASON: A seven-week regular season will be conducted. Teams will have the option of scheduling five, six, or seven games within those seven weeks.
POSTSEASON: All teams in all classes will qualify for the postseason. Brackets will consist of six rounds for each classification. The IHSAA will determine postseason pairings with geography, quality, and team availability as primary considerations. This is intended to be a one-time measure for postseason formatting.
OPTIONAL DATES: Week 1 and Week 2 will be optional game dates. Opponents, locations, and participation may determined by member schools in 11-player football.
RPI FORMULA: With all teams allowed entry into the postseason, the Ratings Percentage Index will not be utilized in 2020 to determine at-large berths or seeding.
DISTRICT GAMES: Teams in Classes 3A, 2A, 1A, and A will play their scheduled district games in the previously established order. This change means the prior Week 5 becomes Week 3, Week 6 becomes Week 4, etc., in this revised plan.
CLASS 4A: Participating schools will schedule their own regular season games. The previously announced group format and success model will not be implemented in 2020. The IHSAA encourages conferences to collaborate in creating their schedules.
EIGHT-PLAYER: Teams will play Week 3 through Week 9 of their previously announced schedules in what is now Week 1 through Week 7. Due to the number of teams in the classification, Eight-Player has opponents scheduled on the optional dates of Week 1 and Week 2. Teams in Eight-Player may opt out of those contests, but may not change opponents or locations unless an agreement is reached with all participating teams and the IHSAA.
MISSING GAMES: Due to the potential of positive COVID-19 cases forcing players and teams to miss games in the 2020 regular season, the revised plan does not penalize teams with a loss or forfeit due to state, county, or local health department determinations. A missed game due to COVID-19 will be considered a “no contest” and will not be made up. Teams may work with the IHSAA and new possible opponents should they have open dates due to scheduled opponents missing games.
OUT OF STATE GAMES: Teams with scheduled games against out of state opponents may attempt to reschedule those contests during the optional Week 1 or Week 2.
TEAM PARTICIPATION: Providing for start dates as currently scheduled, the IHSAA requests member schools state their intent to participate in football’s regular season and postseason by August 17.
The state changed the timing and format of our original football schedule as previously announced. Here are the corrections:
Aug 28 @ Dunkerton 7
Sept 4 @ Tripoli 7
Sept 11 vs Central Elkader 7 (home)
Sept 18 vs West Central 7 (home)
Sept 25 @ Easton Valley 7
Oct 2 vs Central City 7 (home)
Oct 9 @ Springville 7
Then state playoffs TBA
We are not sure at this time which game will be Homecoming or what that will entail at this time, TBA as soon as decided...

2020 MIDLAND HALL OF FAME INDUCTIONS On Friday, January 31st we made our final 2020 Hall of Fame Inductions by recognizing Jerry Carstens and the 1993-94 Girls Basketball Team! Jerry Carstens was a long time physical education teacher and coach. He coached girls basketball and is currently the 9th most winning coach in Iowa High School Girls Basketball history at 685 wins against 246 losses. He took teams to the state tournament in 1969, 1970, 1981, 1989, 1992 and 1994. Jerry was inducted into the Iowa Girls Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2002. He coached here through the 2004 year. Unfortunately Jerry passed away in October, so to accept the award were his wife Kathy and family members Scott, Barb and Jenna Harms, Brenda Leonard and her daughter Allison. Coach C touched a lot of lives during his time at Midland.
The Midland 1993-94 Girls State Qualifying Basketball Team was our final inductee into this inaugural Hall of Fame Class. They qualified for state under Coach Carstens. This tournament was a historic event for the state of Iowa as it was the first year that the girls state tournament was all 5 on 5 player games. Midland had the honor of playing in the first game of that tournament. The team finished with a 19-5 record and a first round loss at the state tournament to Armstrong-Ringsted 37-32. Unfortunately none of the team members were able to attend. Those on the team included: Julie Knake, Lisa Eganhouse Cantwell, Paula Brady Walsh, Kelly Erickson Ballou, Jessie Paarmann VonBehren, Nancy Tasker Davis, Tamara Ewoldt, Kelly Kleppe Doll, Kristy Loy A 6 on 6 exhibition girls basketball game was held on January 31st and we had 14 alumni players come back to play. Tammie Widel Small did a mean imitation of Coach Carstens as coach. Everyone had a great time and no one got hurt. Thanks to Larry Meyer and Kirk Park for officiating the fun! Kathy Carstens enjoyed being surrounded by C's girls!

SHERI DOSLAND NAMED 2018-19 ATHLETIC BOOSTER OF THE YEAR
Congratulations to Sheri Dosland who was named the 2018-19 Athletic Booster of the Year at the Winter Sports Banquet on February 28th. Sheri was nominated due to her active involvement in Midland athletics for over 10 years. She has passionately supported all Midland athletes, not just her own children. If there is a Midland event occurring, she is there, proudly cheering on Midland's student-athletes. Sheri can always be found volunteering and donating her time, energy and money to various causes at Midland. She chaperoned field trips. She could always be counted on to show up to make banners and decorate facilities to promote school spirit. Whenever something happened, Sheri was there to lend a helping hand. Sheri has paid for the dance team to have a pool party as a fun way to end their season. She paid the fuel cost for a school bus to travel to Busey, IA so students could attend the state football play-off game. She has anonymously paid for team t-shirts for under privileged athletes when needed. Sheri became an Athletic Booster officer serving as Vice President and then President. During her time as an officer the boosters got their own room which has helped things greatly! Sheri has a heart of gold and a smile and laugh that are contagious. We want to thank her for all of her contributions to not only Midland Athletics, but to the Midland Community as a whole!
