Dorrington named Xavier girls soccer coach

Wed - 09 Jan Written by Metro Sports Report

Bailey Dorrington has been named the new girls soccer coach at Xavier High School.

She replaces Doug Graham, who resigned after leading the Saints to three consecutive state titles in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Graham will remain with the program as an assistant coach, but wants to devote more time to his business interests.

Dorrington was an all-state soccer player at Xavier and was a member of three state championship teams. She also helped the Saints win two state titles in basketball.

Dorriington was an assistant soccer coach for Xavier last spring when the Saints won their seventh state title in a row, an unprecedented achievement in Iowa high school girls athletics in any sport.

Xavier girls stick it to Kennedy

Wed - 09 Jan Written by Tom Fruehling

With a lineup full of new players, wily Xavier girls basketball coach Tom Lilly is going back to some old ways that worked in the past.

“We learn from former players who come back and ask about some ins and outs we used to use,” Lilly said Tuesday night after his novice Saints patiently used an old-school inside/outside game to turn back the visitors from Kennedy, 60-51.

Since senior starting guard Kayla Armstrong is the only player on the roster who had extensive court time last year, Lilly runs fresh legs in and out like a traffic cop.
