Xavier - Boys Soccer
Curt Lewis knew his Prairie boys soccer team probably wasn't as good as its 8-0 start.
He also knew they weren't as bad as the team that had lost four of five during one stretch.
The Hawks brought a 12-4 record into Thursday night's game against a powerful Xavier team. They bent all match long, but due to the stellar play of senior keeper Adam Kueny, came away with a hard-fought 1-0 win, ruining Senior Night for 13 Xavier 12th graders.
Xavier - Boys Soccer
The Xavier Saints and Kennedy Cougars have fallen out of their No.1 spots in the boys soccer rankings.
Xavier lost at Dubuque Wahlert Saturday and fell from No.1 to No.2 in the Class 2A rankings.
Kennedy lost to Xavier on Friday and also lost to Iowa City West on Saturday and dropped from No.1 to No.4 in the Class 3A poll.

Xavier had several scoring opportunities in the second half, but failed to convert any of them.
Paul Cavin recorded his ninth shutout.

DUBUQUE - Dubuque Wahlert scored two goals in the final 10 minutes Saturday and upset the top-ranked Xavier Saints, 2-1, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game.
The teams battled in 30 mph winds in Dubuque.
The Saints beat Kennedy, 1-0, Friday night in a battle of No.1 teams and had an early wakeup call Saturday morning for the trip to Dubuque.
Connor Ramlo gave Xavier a 1-0 lead with 15 minutes left in the game with an assist from Caelen Lilly.
Wahlert scored on a 40-yard free kick that was carried by the wind. Wahlert scored again after a long throw-in that sailed between two Xavier defenders and was poked into the net by a Wahlert player.
Xavier - Boys Soccer
The boys who play soccer at Xavier and Kennedy pass each other on the way to school in northeast Cedar Rapids every day and they're all entitled to raise their index finger as the No.1 soccer team in Iowa.
The Saints are No.1 in Class 2A and the Cougars are No.1 in Class 3A, but now the Saints are No.1 on 42nd Street.
At least for now.
Isaac Frisch scored midway through the first half and Paul Cavin made a series of acrobatic saves as Xavier handed Kennedy its first loss of the season, 1-0, Friday evening at the Kennedy field.
