Washington whipped Jefferson in three straight sets in a Class 5A first round regional volleyball tournament match at Washington.
The Warriors won 25-8, 25-17, 25-8.
Washington (26-13) advances to play Linn-Mar (15-19) in a regional semifinal Thursday night at Linn-Mar. The Lions had a first-round bye.
Jefferson bows out 4-32.
Cedar Rapids Jefferson saluted its 1972 state championship team Friday night at Kingston Stadium and said goodbye to this year's senior class.
The game against Dubuque Senior ended in a 42-0 defeat, leaving the J-Hawks with a 1-8 record in Brian Webb's first year as head coach.
It may have been a disappointing ending, but Webb was anything but disheartened by the effort his team has put forth throughout the season.
“Our future is bright,” he said. “It has been a season of ups and downs, but we have come through it together.
They came together in the fall of 1972 with the same expectations they had in previous years, mainly to be in position to win the Mississippi Valley Conference football championship.
What followed in the next 11 games not only was somewhat surprising for the Cedar Rapids Jefferson football team, but a story for the ages.
The Iowa High School Athletic Association initiated the state playoff system in the fall of ’72, but at that time only four teams in each class qualified. Jefferson had won two mythical (polls) state titles previously in 1964 and ’65 and was in the midst of a 21-year run of winning records.
IOWA CITY - The Jefferson J-Hawks gave Iowa City West and its homecoming crowd a jolting wakeup call on Friday night.
Jefferson linebacker/quarterback Layne Sullivan intercepted Nate Boland’s passing attempt on the second play of the game and Jefferson quickly converted a halfback pass for a touchdown.
West was in a position it hadn’t been accustomed to for the majority of the season: Trailing in a game. Then, like a bad dream, the Trojans snapped out of it.
Iowa City West scored 29 unanswered points and drubbed Jefferson by a whopping score of 71-14 at the Iowa City West field.
DUBUQUE - Jefferson took it on the chin, dropping three straight sets to third-ranked Dubuque Hempstead in a Mississippi Valley Conference volleyball match Tuesday.
The Mustangs won by scores of 25-9, 25-18, 25-13.
Kayla Jaschen, Frankie Schlicher and Cierra Maas had four kills apiece for the J-Hawks.
Kieley Brathwaite and Kaylie Zitek had four assists each for Jefferson.
Larissa Keller, Katelyn Canby and Olivia Northrup won individual events for Cedar Rapids Jefferson Tuesday night in a Mississippi Valley Conference swim meet against Iowa City High at Jefferson.
Iowa City High won the meet, 105-80, by taking nine of 12 events.
Keller captured the 200 individual medley, Canby won the diving competition and Northrup won the 100 freestyle.
Washington was piling up the passing yards, but the Warriors weren't making much headway on the scoreboard against Jefferson in Friday night's football game at Kingston Stadium.
A switch to the ground game did the trick for the Warriors, who broke away from a 21-21 tie to beat the J-Hawks, 34-21.
Washington (2-5) snapped a five-game losing streak in notching its 11th straight win in the series against Jefferson, which dates back to 1957. The J-Hawks have not beaten the Warriors since 2001.
DUBUQUE - Emily Ritchie and Hannah Martin won individual events for Jefferson in a Mississippi Valley Conference swim meet against Dubuque Wahlert Tuesday night in Dubuque.
Ritchie captured the 50 yard freestyle and Martin claimed the diving title.
Wahlert won the meet, 118-66, by taking 10 of 12 events.
Disappointment turned to domination Friday night for the Kennedy football team.
The Cougars, reeling with five straight losses to start the season, steamrolled Jefferson, 44-0, for a happy homecoming in a Mississippi Valley Conference Mississippi Division game at Kingston Stadium.
Senior Alex Hillyer ran 23 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns for Kennedy (1-5, 1-2). Senior Riley Fergus completed 6 of 12 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. Senior Patrick Martin caught three passes for 64 yards and a touchdown.

City High won the girls race with 27 points. Jefferson finished third with 56, four points behind second-place Pekin.
Meredith Koenigsfeld finished sixth for the J-Hawks.
Devin Stone was the top finisher for Jefferson in the boys race. He finished 11th. The J-Hawks finished third.
