Southeast Iowa Union offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
The new Iowa prep football rankings from the Cedar Rapids Gazette have been released, and although no Union area teams are in the Top-10, both Pekin and Sigourney-Keota finished one spot out.
Despite a big win over Columbus, Pekin fell out of the Class A Top-10. The Panthers are just a few spots off the Top-10, heading into their big road trip to No. 5 Lisbon on Friday night.
Sigourney-Keota followed a comeback win over Mid-Prairie with a big win over Mediapolis, and the Cobras are back in the Class 1A “others receiving votes” list.
