Julian Good-Jones of Cedar Rapids Washington and Bryce Meeker of Cedar Rapids Prairie will try to bolster the offensive line when they enroll at Iowa State next year, but first they'll play against other when the top-ranked Warriors and Hawks meet at Prairie Friday night.

Good-Jones, who stands 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds, and Meeker, who is 6-5 and 300, play offense and defense for their high school teams, so they could bang heads at John Wall Field.

Good-Jones and the Warriors are 6-0 and ranked No.1 in Class 4A. Prairie is sitting at 3-3 with an up-and-down season.

In other games Friday night, Cedar Falls visits Linn-Mar in a showdown for the Class 4A District 5 lead, Xavier visits Dubuque Wahlert, Jefferson hosts Waterloo West, Kennedy visits Waterloo East, Marion hosts Western Dubuque and Cedar Valley Christian visits West Central.
