CEDAR RAPIDS - When the guys you bring off your bench are pushing your starters for most points, that's a good thing. Most of the time.
And it sure was Tuesday night for Cedar Rapids Xavier, which got a stellar effort from its reserves and its defense in a 58-42 win over Cedar Rapids Washington at the Warrior gym.
“Phenomenal,” said Xavier Coach Matt Jenkins. “They were phenomenal tonight. Every guy that stepped in, played hard. They played hard, they played together. It's something we haven't done. For four quarters, play consistently together offensively and defensively.”
