Creston/O-M first playoff test for HCHS

 HARLAN -- The Harlan Community Cyclones won’t have to look far for a scouting report in preparation for their first-round opponent in the Class 3-A football playoffs.
 The video from their Week 7 game at Creston/Orient-Macksburg is just two and a half weeks old.
 The 6th-ranked Cyclones (8-1) will host the Panthers (5-4) at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday night at Merrill Field as the Iowa high school playoffs get underway in all six classes.
 The Iowa High School Athletic Association generally tries to match teams from separate districts in the first round of the postseason, but with a 125-mile limitation now in place, exceptions are becoming more common. In Class 3-A alone, five out of 16 first-round games will pit district rivals against one another, including the HCHS/Creston rematch.
