No longer will most Iowa high school football teams have three days of rest between a first round win and their quarterfinal match-up.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association has approved a recommendation that quarterfinal games in Class 3-A, 2-A and 1-A be played on Monday instead of Friday. Class 4-A will stay with the Monday-Friday format.
