AMES, Iowa – Iowa State announced Monday that Saturday’s game against No. 17 Texas that kicks off at 6 p.m. CDT in Jack Trice Stadium will be a sellout. Both teams are 3-0.

The only remaining tickets (fewer than 200) are single tickets randomly located throughout the stadium.

“Interest in our football program is high,” Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. “Whatever the final attendance figure is Saturday, no team in school history will have attracted the crowds that this team has through the first three games of any prior Iowa State season. It’s a great time to be a Cyclone.”

The game will be televised by FX.

With a count down of the final four regular season weeks remaining and a heavy emphasis on making the 2011 playoff field, a total of 49 prep grid teams are still undefeated. The number of unbeaten teams is identical to last fall at this point in the season.

A reduction in that number will be forthcoming this weekend when 48 of the 49 are scheduled. Three games involve match-ups of undefeated teams – Postville at North Tama, Traer (Class A); Alburnett at North Cedar, Stanwood (Class 1A) and ADM, Adel at Carlisle (Class 3A). Fifteen other games find unbeaten teams playing foes that have lost only once.

North Tama, Traer (5-0) is the only undefeated team that has yet to be scored upon.  The defending Class A champions have over-whelmed their first five foes, 248-0. The Red Hawks journey toward perfection has a huge challenge this week in Postville, also 5-0.

No fewer than five traditional rivalries are on tap this weekend involving the undefeated teams. Ankeny (6-0) meets Dowling Catholic, WDM (4-2) in Drake Stadium; PCM, Monroe (5-0) travels to Pella Christian (4-1); Dike-New Hartford (5-0) is at Aplington-Parkersburg (4-1); South Winneshiek, Calmar (5-0) travels to North Fayette, West Union (4-1); and Emmetsburg (5-0) hosts West Lyon, Inwood (4-1).

North Tama has won 36 straight regular season games, including 24 straight district contests. Moreover the Red Hawks have a current 19-game win streak and have chalked up 22 shut outs in the last 33 contests and 36 in the last 56, dating back to the start of the 2007 campaign.

Clear Lake (Class 3A) has the longest regular season win chain with 37 games, while St. Albert, Council Bluffs’ (Class 1A) current string of 37 straight district wins is the best in district/conference play. Iowa City, City High (Class 4A) has sailed to 33 straight wins in Mississippi Valley Conference and regular season action.

Armstrong-Ringsted, in eight-player, has the longest winning streak in all classes with a all-time  eight-player win chain of 29, while Regina, Iowa City (2A) joins North Tama with a current consecutive string of 19.

Griswold’s outstanding freshman, Rebekah Topham, continues to set the standard for harriers in Southwest Iowa. She topped all runners at the Cyclone Invitational held at Harlan on Saturday marking her fifth meet victory of the year.  Topham ran an impressive 14:14 to win the meet. Even with the outstanding effort of Topham, the Lady Tigers had to settle for third place behind Harlan and Lewis Central. Lewis Central and Griswold actually tied for second place, but Griswold moved to third on the tie breaker. Contributing to Lady Tiger team effort were Jordyn Sindt, 8th; Larissa Backhaus, 19th; Alyx Flippin, 24th; and Allison Young, 28th.   Topham is undefeated on the season and the Griswold squad has not lost to a 1A or 2A team.

It was Xavier Olivio setting the pace for the Griswold boys’ team. He placed 29th in the field of 98 runners. His time was 18:39. Also scoring for the boys were: Tyrel Peters (74), Mason Anstey (81), Jacob Maass(83), and Zak Doty (85). The team finished 13th.
