DUBUQUE - Hayley Deutmeyer popped in 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds Tuesday night as the third-ranked Xavier Saints defeated Dubuque Senior, 52-34, in a Mississippi Valley Conference game in Dubuque.
Lizzy Bailey chipped in 10 points and had three steals for the Saints (4-1, 2-1). Morgan Breitbach had five assists.
Savannah Frye scored 14 points for Dubuque Senior (1-2, 0-2).
Class 3A second-ranked Xavier raced out to an 18-2 lead in the first quarter and extended it to 38-17 at half, then coasted to a 71-48 victory over Ottumwa Tuesday night in a non-conference boys basketball game at Xavier.
Xavier (3-0) displayed an efficient offense and a half-court defense that simply did not allow Ottumwa to penetrate the lane for most of the first half.
Adam McDermott led the way for the Saints, scoring 21 points that included four 3-pointers.
The Xavier Saints have been ranked No.2 in Class 3A in the first Associated Press boys basketball poll of the season.
Harlan is ranked No.1 in Class 3A. Solon is ranked No.3, Pella No.4 and Clear Lake No.5.
Iowa City West is ranked No.1 in Class 4A, Western Christian is No.1 in 2A and Newell-Fonda is No.1 in Class 1A.
The Xavier Saints have until Dec. 20 to inform the Iowa High School Athletic Association if they want to drop from Class 4A to Class 3A for football next season.
There will not be any penalties attached if the Saints decide to switch to Class 3A.
Xavier has received permission from the Mississippi Valley Conference to switch from 4A football to 3A and still retain full membership in the league in other sports, although it would no longer play an MVC football schedule at the 3A level.
Adam McDermott led four players into double figures with 15 points Saturday as the Xavier Saints defeated Waverly-Shell Rock, 58-49, in a non-conference basketball game at Xavier.
McDermott also collected six rebounds and three steals for Xavier (2-0).
Calvin Winker scored 13 points, Andrew Bisenius had 11 and Matt Nelson added 10 markers for the Saints.
