Roosevelt still trails Dowling and Valley in the State power rankings provided by the National Forensic League but the margin of difference between Roosevelt and Valley has narrowed to 26 degrees-the closest it's been in ten years. The top schools in the State:
Dowling 386, Valley 263, Roosevelt 237, Iowa City West 178, Okoboji 98,
The NFL has Lily Nellans #1 in Extemp and #7 in Oratory
The above was made a bit meaningless by the Riders outlasting Dowling at IHSSA State a couple of weeks ago!
