The Crusaders got to taste the other end of an xx - 00 score this week, falling to the Andale Indians 28-00 at Sellers Park Friday evening. It was Youth Night, the stands were full of the Crusader faithful, and for the most part, the rains had ended. The field was quite saturated though and by games end, looked much like the tee area at a golf course driving range on 1/2 price day.
The first PEP RALLY of the school year was held today at WHS! The Cheerleaders, the Band, and the new Crimson Dancers performed for the raucous crowd! All of the Fall Coaches introduced their teams to the student body and public guests. And then, in climactic suspense, the 2018-2019 DUCHESS CANDIDATES were announced!
The 7th and 8th grade Lady Knight Volleyball squads, both "A" and "B", continued their winning ways at their HOME OPENERS Thursday at WMS vs the visiting Haysville Hawks. All "4" teams move to 2-0 on the season! Congratulations to all - check out the pics below, over 300!

Defending State 4A Volleyball Champion Rose Hill was too much to handle, this go-round for our Lady Crusaders...the Lady Rockets (in Triangular action at Rose Hill w/ Collegiate), downed the Varsity Lady Crusaders in 2 sets in the opening match, 11-25, 13-25. Varsity Wellington rallied in the nightcap vs Collegiate, winning in 3 sets, 25-20, 17-25, 25-9. It was "2" big W's for the JV Lady Crusaders, vs Rose Hill won in 3, 21-25, 25-12 , 15-10 and won in 2 vs Collegiate, 25-20, 25-7. Great job Ladies!
Coming off the BIG VARSITY WIN Friday night @ Collegiate (Final WHS 32 WCS 00), the JV Boys looked poised early to continue that trend, jumping out on the visiting Spartans 7-6 after 1 qtr of action. Unfortunately, miscues and mental errors in the end would tip the scale to Collegiate, who rode home in the rain with a 27-12 victory.
