It was an exciting finish for the Varsity Lady Crusaders Friday vs Rose Hill. Wellington relinquished their lead down the stretch and the Lady Rockets knotted it and went ahead by 1 in the waning seconds of the contest. Clutch FT's by Sophomore Ali Zeka, who with 2 late in the game appearances at the charity stripe, sunk 3 of 4 and with 5.5 seconds on the clock, Wellington had a 2 pt margin and hung onto it for the win!

A high scoring game by Wellington's Junior Tanner Meyer would eventually seal the deal for the home team! Tanner pumped in 14 in the 3rd, keeping the visiting Rockets at a distance. Final score was RHHS 57 WHS 60!
