IOWA CITY — Iowa City High needed a jolt midway through the second quarter last night. As the Little Hawks have done all year, it called on quarterback A.J. Derby and wide receiver John Chelf to provide them with one.

With a seven-point lead and facing a second and 6 at the Dubuque Hempstead 41, the Little Hawks ran a play-action fake against the boxed-in Hempstead defense.

Derby then hit Chelf up the right sideline, past Hempstead cornerback Alex Brown for a 41-yard touchdown pass and a two-touchdown lead. The top-ranked Little Hawks maintained its momentum to beat the Mustangs 24-7 at Bates Field in a Class 4A state first-round game.
