Or is anything the Xavier Saints do really that surprising? They dominated previously unbeaten Iowa City High, 27-3, in a Class 4A first-round playoff game Monday night in Iowa City to advance to the quarterfinals for the second time in three years. Remember what happened in 2006? The Saints won the Class 4A state championship.
They’ll play Cedar Falls in the late game of a UNI-Dome double-header Friday night. I made the mistake in a previous blog of underestimating Xavier. If there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE SAINTS!
The Metro has two of the final eight teams left standing in the 4A field. Washington hosts Bettendorf at Kingston. Snow is in the forecast. Should an all-Cedar Rapids east-side semifinal between Washington and Xavier also be in the forecast? At 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, it’s just too early to say. But no one will be underestimated.
