The Xavier Saints continued their undefeated season by downing Waterloo West, 49-14, in a homecoming victory Friday night in a Mississippi Valley Conference football game.
Reggie Schulte threw three touchdown passes and Nick Steingreaber ran for 107 yards and three touchdowns, one on a kickoff return, to lead Xavier.
The fourth-ranked Saints (7-0, 4-0) got off to a shaky start, however, before buckling down.
POLK CITY - The Kennedy Cougars grabbed a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Class 4A state golf tournament Friday at the Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City.
Kennedy finished the first 18 holes with a four-man score of 307 to lead Waukee (308), Johnston (309) and Ottumwa (312) in a tight field.
The Xavier Saints are tied for sixth place in the 12-team tournament with West Des Moines Valley and Pleasant Valley at 317.
The final 18 holes are scheduled to start Saturday at 10:30 a.m., 90 minutes later than planned due to unseasonably cold weather.
Xavier held on to its No. 7 spot and Marion did likewise at No. 10 in the Class 4A volleyball rankings released Thursday by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
Xavier swept unranked Class 5A opponent Waterloo West in its only match of the past week.
Marion reached the semifinals of last weekend's Waterloo Columbus tournament and finished with a 4-1 mark. The Indians also swept unranked Vinton-Shellsburg on Tuesday and are tied for first place in the Wamac West Division.
Sarah Homan collected 27 assists and seven digs Tuesday night as Xavier swept Waterloo West, 25-9, 25-23, 25-15, in a Mississippi Valley Conference volleyball match at Xavier.
The Saints, ranked No. 7 in Class 4A, raised their record to 17-8.
Kasey Vanden Bosch had 12 kills for Xavier and Kayla Torson had eight. Halle Heying contributed 10 digs and Emma Barta had seven. Melissa Everett had seven blocks and Torson had four.
The Kennedy Cougars were playing for more than just themselves Monday when they captured the Class 4A district golf title at Elmcrest Country Club.
They were playing for Drew Wall, their courageous teammate who has been battling cancer for five years and has already lost the lower part of his right leg to the disease.
The Cougars wore special purple shirts with the initials "D.W." on the front and "Drew" on the back. They also wore a purple ribbon on their caps, with purple chosen because it's symbolic of the fight against cancer.
"It was real cool to see the team do that for me," said Wall, who attended the meet. "I'm extremely humbled and thankful and grateful. It's a big honor."
