Three of the nation’s top groups held firm atop the standings and defended their territory, while four out-of-state groups partied in Wisco.

The lineups are deep this weekend, both in quantity and quality. From Wisconsin to Missouri to Iowa to Nebraska, the action will be tight.

Once Marion won at Bishop Luers in 1976, the chase has been on to topple the group that beat the previous top dog. This is that history.

Linn-Mar, Waukee Northwest and Urbandale will do battle in an early-season mid-Iowa titan battle.

Two of Des Moines' best crashed the party in Cedar Rapids to truly provide an early-season sampling of Iowa's best groups.

Gretna East takes its debut win in marquee fashion, Waukee Northwest rebounds, and Ankeny Centennial and Solon start strong.

Ohio collectively kicks off at Beavercreek, Des Moines gathers at Waukee, Cedar Rapids converges at Linn-Mar, and Gretna headlines Nebraska.

All you need to know for 25 of the nation's top returning groups, from Connecticut to California.

Carmel, Franklin Central, Johnston, Grenada and Millard West all bank big wins as several circuits head into the final month or so!

Several states collide at Chesterton, Davenport Central draws Iowa's best, Tupelo hosts for the first time and Omaha South rounds it out!

While the rest of the country saw its fair share of chaos and upsets, Iowa may have been a little bit more chalk… with a couple surprises!

Ankeny, Johnston, Auburn and Lincoln Southwest all outlasted their respective fields this past weekend to take home the gold!
