Four Metro football teams have made the playoffs and will play opening-round games Wednesday at 7 p.m.

The Xavier Saints (9-0) will host Iowa City High (4-5), the Prairie Hawks (6-3) will visit Dubuque Senior (7-2) and the Kennedy Cougars (4-5) will travel to Muscatine (7-2) for Round of 32 games in the Class 4A playoffs.

The Marion Indians (7-2) will host Western Dubuque (4-5) in the first round of the 3A playoffs.

Xavier, Prairie and Marion had already clinched playoff berths before the final games of the regular season Friday night, but the Kennedy Cougars earned their spot in Week 9 with a resounding victory at Iowa City High.

Linn-Mar and Cedar Rapids Washington both finished with 3-6 records and missed the playoffs.

Xavier, Prairie, Dubuque Senior and Marion did not face their playoff opponents during the regular season, so it will be a brand-new dance for everyone.
