Schemmel gets 500th win as Xavier sweeps
Xavier High School baseball coach Dave Schemmel collected his 500th career victory Friday night when the Saints swept a doubleheader from Dubuque Wahlert, 4-2 and 9-7, at Ken Charipar Field.
“We’ve had some really good ballclubs, especially here at Xavier, and every team is different,” said Schemmel. “We just try to get them ready to play and they play hard.
"The players win them," he said. "We just try to put them in a position to succeed.”
Schemmel was the head coach at Regis before becoming the coach at Xavier when the new Catholic school opened.
