JR. CRUSADER FOOTBALL CAMP @ WHS!
********************
The 2014 JR. CRUSADER FOOTBALL CAMP kicked off Monday evening out at the WHS Football Practice Field. There were about 3 dozen "3rd thru 5th" graders on hand, along with the WHS Coaches, Varsity Football Players and some 8th Grade Knights as well. The annual camp is a fun experience for the future Crusaders - fundamentals on both offense and defense are addressed with many water breaks in between. The camp runs through Wednesday evening. Each participant receives a camp t-shirt and gains a lot of knowledge about the different positions one can play in football. There's lots of fun stuff that goes on! GO BIG RED!!

Welliington's 15 yo All-Stars Are State Tournament Bound!!
********************
After a weekend of baseball at Hibbs-Hooten Field, a District Tournament Champion was determined on Sunday and yes, WELLINGTON'S 15 yo All-Stars came out on top, run-ruling Oxford in 4 innings 20-5. Oxford jumped out on Wellington in the top of the 1st inning 5-0 but Wellington answered with 9 in their half, 7 in the bottom of the 2nd, 3 in the bottom of the 3rd and 1 in the 4th to claim the run-rule victory. Adam Hilt, Chevy Nuss and Therin Frame all pitched for Wellington in the lop-sided victory and will head to Garden City with their teammates and coaches and fans Thursday for the 15 yo State Tournament there beginning on Friday. Congratulations Wellington 15 yo's and Coaches! Awesome Job - GOOD LUCK @ STATE!!!

Welliington's 15 yo All-Stars
********************
After a 1 day rain delay, the 15 yo Babe Ruth District Tournament got underway on Friday and Wellington's 15 yo's made their first appearance on Saturday - and did they make an appearance. With Chevy Nuss on the mound (Noah Rinehart in late relief), the boys in red DOMINATED Douglass, run ruling them after 5 innings by the final score of 22-00. The win moved Wellington's All-Stars along in the winner's bracket where they defeated Oxford 14-1. In the Douglass game, Chevy Nuss was named MVP and Adam Hilt earned the WOW Award! In the Oxford contest, Dylan Ferguson was MVP and Chevy Nuss took the WOW honors! Wellington will play at 5:30PM today (Sunday) vs either Oxford, Derby or Rose Hill, depending on how the 1PM and 3PM games turn out. Wellington has zero losses so "whomever" will have to beat them twice to claim the tickets to STATE. Should Wellington lose at the 5:30PM game tonight, the Championship Game will be played Monday @ 6:30PM at the 9th St. Field. GOOD LUCK WELLINGTON - TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS TODAY!!
