Top-ranked Iowa City High won three straight sets to beat Xavier in Mississippi Valley Conference volleyball Tuesday night at Xavier.
City High won by scores of 25-18, 25-23 and 25-19.
Iowa City High is ranked No. 1 in Class 5A. Xavier is ranked No. 7 in Class 4A.
Xavier High School stayed within its softball family to pick a new head coach.
Nikki Price, an assistant with the Saints for eight years, will succeed Brian Erbe as head coach, the school announced Tuesday.
Erbe resigned at Xavier this summer to become the new softball coach at Jefferson, where he works as a school administrator.
Price served as Xavier's interim head coach this past season while Erbe recovered from heart surgery.
Quinn Jamrok shot a 34 Monday at Twin Pines to lead Kennedy to a one-stroke win at the Xavier boys golf quadrangular meet.
Kennedy finished at 142. Xavier and Waterloo West were at 143 and Cedar Falls 152.
Xavier was awarded second place on the basis of its fifth golfer - Colin Gunn - shooting a 38. West's fifth golfer shot a 40.
The Xavier Saints climbed two spots to No. 4 in the Class 4A football rankings Sunday in the Des Moines Register.
The Saints (4-0) walloped Dubuque Wahlert, 53-14, Friday night. They have outscored their four opponents, 198-35, this season.
Xavier has rolled by Dubuque Hempstead (48-7), Jefferson (49-0), Prairie (48-14) and Wahlert (53-14). Those four teams have a composite 4-12 record.
The Saints host the winless Kennedy Cougars (0-4) Friday night.
On a night when his mentor Tom Kopatich and the 1982 state champion LaSalle football team were being honored, Xavier Coach Duane Schulte had a flashback Friday to another great team 14 years later.
The 1996 Lancers, who were 9-0 and made it to the state quarterfinals, were led by small and shifty scatback Jess Miller.
His equally speedy nephew Brendan, on his first run from scrimmage in his first varsity start on the first Saints possession Friday night, scampered 64 yards untouched for a touchdown.
“He reminds me a lot of his uncle,” said Schulte. “He’s the same kind of runner. He’s a good little back.”
