The WHS "C" Team Boys road-tripped to Clearwater HS Monday evening, for some tri-action if you will, with host Clearwater and Classical School of Wichita. 

In the young Crusaders opener vs Classical, the boys in red came out on top 28-27. Scoring for the Crusaders - Korbin Jones 11, Jaxson Irey-Hurt 9, Keaton Hartman 6, and Carson Nugen 2. Hunter Lough, Rylan Biles and Zac Saffell saw lots of action as well, contributing effectively on both ends of the court. 

After the Friday portion of the Halstead Wrestling Invitational was cancelled due to road conditions, it was combined with Saturday's schedule and the 17 team Halstead meet is now in the can. Our Crusaders fared quite well, finishing 3rd in the 17 team field. Senior Brennan Cantrell went 4-0, all PINS over his opponents from Lyons (2), Marion and Cheney.

The Patriot League Spelling Bee was held Tuesday afternoon at Wellington Middle School. Individuals from Clearwater, Rose Hill, Haysville West, Mulvane, Prairie Hills (Buhler), and of course Wellington participated - here are the outcomes for both 7th and 8th grades - CONGRATS TO ALL!!

The Lady Crusaders SWEPT for the 5th time this season, taking care of business with the visiting Lady Spartans of Collegiate on Tuesday at WHS. Traditionally, the Lady Crusaders have done well against the Lady Spartans, that tradition continues. We don't have a lot of height but compensate for that with good ball handling and speed. The JV continues with the EGG in the loss column, moving to 8-0 after a battle with the visiting Spartans.

The Varsity Crusader Boys shot out to an 11-3 lead on Collegiate Tuesday evening, didn't take the Spartans long to "right" their ship and by 1st quarters' end, Collegiate was up 30-15, at halftime 42-20. The Spartans were high percentage shooters, knocking down "10" 3's to the Crusaders "5", and did so with high accuracy. They had the height advantage as well. Collegiates' platooning system allows a fresh five on the court a greater amount of time, too. A Purdue University scout was on hand, checking out one (or more, I don't know) of the Spartans.
