Xavier girls adjusting to life in Class 4A

Mon - 15 Nov Written by Jim Ecker

Xavier High School clicked off state championships in girls’ basketball in 2003, 2005 and 2007, but those were the “old days” when the Saints played in the Class 3A tournament.

Xavier is a 4A school now. Life is harder.

“It’s a challenge. There’s no doubt about it,” Coach Tom Lilly said. “Right now, you’re going to see more Division-I type athletes in 4A, and you’re going to see more of them. You’re going to see more athletic types of kids who can play the game of basketball.”
