High school football: Week 3 area scores and recaps
Week 3 of the high school football season has come and gone. Here is a look at area scores and recaps. Cedar Rapids Xavier 28, Clear Creek Amana 17 TIFFIN — It wasn’t pretty but it was enough for Cedar Rapids Xavier. The Saints know they were fortunate to be taking a win back home. Class 4A top-ranked Xavier scored three touchdowns in about a five-minute stretch bridging the third and fourth quarters for a 28-17 comeback victory over Clear Creek Amana in a non-district high school football game at CCA. The Saints improved to 3-0 and won their 16th straight game. The Clippers (2-1) actually outplayed Xavier for the better part of three quarters. Xavier finally found some rhythm on offense in the third. Cash Parks hit Dusty Cook on a screen to the left sideline and he scampered 30 yards for the touchdown, cutting the deficit to 17-14 with 1:58 left in the frame. Xavier’s defense got consecutive stops deep in CCA territory and forced punts, leading to good field position. CCA threatened to pull within a score but the Saints defense, who hurt itself with penalties, managed to hold and cause a missed field goal with 4:24
