Final report: Des Moines Christian 43, Mt. Pleasant 26. #iahsfb

Des Moines Christian scores again, and the defense stops Mt. Pleasant on downs. Lions will run the clock out and go to state in Class 3A. MP looked so strong early, but a lot of bad breaks tonight. Lions to the Dome, 43-26. #iahsfb

TD Mt. Pleasant: Walker scrambles for a score. Great play, but the 2-point try fails. DMC still leads, 36-26. 4:25 left. Onside kick fails. MP has 3 timeouts. #iahsfb

I didn't see who this was for Des Moines Christian, but after a Carter Gehling sack at the 9, the ball flew out for what looked like a big turnover and instead, DMC steps up and completes two passes for a score. PAT good. Lions up 36-20. 7:31 left. #iahsfb

TD MT. PLEASANT: Panthers showing life. Walker to Schadt, 28 yards. PAT, however is no good. 29-20, DMC. Just 15 seconds left in the 3rd. #iahsfb

This game has really turned since that sequence to end the 2nd quarter. DMN marches again. Gorter scores again. 29-14 Des Moines Christian. 3:35 left in the 3rd. #iahsfb

Really bad start to the 2nd half for MP. Panthers turn it over with a pick in the opening seconds, and the Lions run the ball up the middle really well, eventually scoring with Gorter and getting the 2-point conversion. Whole vibe has shifted. 22-14 DMC, 8:36 left in 3rd. #iahsfb

TD DMC: Henry Gorter with some hard runs, including a touchdown run and a 2-point conversion. Really strong response for the Lions and a really intense 1st half. 14-14 at the break! #iahsfb

Bad news for MP as Isaiah Lange goes down midway through the 2nd. Leg injury. Walking around a bit. The good news for MP is that Kaden Schadt just caught a ball and muscled through about 4 defenders for an 18-yard touchdown. Mt. Pleasant on top 14-6. 5min in 2nd. #iahsfb

TOUCHDOWN DES MOINES CHRISTIAN: Davis Tolkheim has arrived for the Lions. Huge return and two big runs for a score. PAT botched, turns into a Brandon Veloz pick. 7-6 Mt. Pleasant. 10:15 left in the 2nd. #iahsfb

TOUCHDOWN MT. PLEASANT: This time Walker hits the pass from 15-yards out. Grayson Lowery with the touchdown catch. Walker looks comfortable on the turf so far, he has been really shifty. 7-0 MP, 10:41 left in the 2nd. #iahsfb

Well the Panthers have for sure looked competitive in the 1st quarter. After another DMC punt, Mt. Pleasant is driving again. Grayson Walker just scrambled for a 1st down on 4th and 6 after a completion on 3rd and 17. End 1: 0-0. MP inside the 30. #iahsfb

Mt. Pleasant defense forced a 3-and-out and marched down the field, but DMC's Olver Grice makes a leaping interception that took abTD away from Kaden Schadt. He got open but the throw just a little short. 0-0 and DMC takes back over at the 20. #iahsfb

#8 Mt. Pleasant visits #3 Des Moines Christian for MP's first quarterfinal opportunity in 18 years. Not rainy, but a little cold. Football weather. Here we go. #iahsfb
