Xavier High School - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Lions survive McDermott and Saints

Adam McDermott tried to steal the show Tuesday night for the Xavier Saints, but the stubborn Linn-Mar Lions wouldn't let him get away with it.

McDermott poured in 21 points in the second half during a furious comeback that chopped a 23-point deficit all the way down to just six points, but Linn-Mar made its free throws at the end and escaped Ron Thillen Gymnasium with a 66-57 victory.

McDermott scored only two points in a lackluster first half and the Saints trailed at intermission, 36-15, with their leading scorer under wraps. The Xavier coaches did not think the 6-foot-4 forward was being aggressive enough.
