It was viewed as a battle royale between two Valley Division foes in a tight four-way bottleneck for supremacy in their division Friday night when Waterloo West came to town to take on the host Cedar Rapids Prairie Hawks.
It never happened.
The Wahawks left town with a 70-38 victory behind a massive 28-point production from Kate Letkewicz in her best offensive outing of the year.
DUBUQUE - Josh Kacena was on fire rolling games of 244 and 221 for a 465 series, but his Prairie Hawks were bowled over by Dubuque Wahlert, 2786-2267, Friday in boys bowling.
Prairie trailed by 188 pins after the first round, then got outscored by 331 pins in the Baker round.
DUBUQUE - Kristina Hochrein was red-hot with games of 197 and 258 for a 455 series that led Dubuque Wahlert past Prairie, 2590-2492, Friday in girls bowling at Cherry Lanes.
Hailey Tollefson shot high game for Prairie with a 217. Katlynn Palmer had a 212 high game and 371 series that led Prairie.
CEDAR FALLS - Second-ranked Prairie was upset by No.8 Iowa City West, 39-23, in a wrestling meet Thursday night at Cedar Falls High School.
The Hawks bounced back to beat Cedar Falls, 58-12.
Iowa City West won nine of the 14 matches against Prairie. The Hawks got pins from Skyler St. John and Jayden Flege, and major decisions by Sam Uthoff and Zack Fiser.
The match got off to a bad start for Prairie when West's Kegan Wakefield, ranked No. 1 at 138, pinned third-ranked Trey Blaha in 1:23.
Prairie held on to the No.2 spot while Linn-Mar slipped into a fourth-place tie with Waverly-Shell Rock in the second dual meet wrestling rankings released Thursday by the Iowa Wrestling Coaches Association.
Both, apparently, have clinched home matches for the Class 3A regional dual meet wrestling tournament. The rankings released Thursday are the guideline for next month's pairings.
The top 16 schools in Class 3A qualify for the regional tournament. The regionals take place on Feb. 6. The eight regional winners advance to the state dual meet tournament, Feb. 13 at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
According to the rankings, Prairie most likely will host Burlington in the regionals. Linn-Mar's foe likely will be Western Dubuque, Clinton or Pleasant Valley.
