The remarkable 2018 Crusader Football season ended on Friday night at Sellers Park, the 4th game in a row at Sellers Park, against the Goddard Lions. Final score: Goddard 28 Wellington 14. 

If the cold air got to you and you left at halftime, a different game emerged after the break, diminishing the IRONDUKE 14 pt halftime lead to a 7 pt deficit by 3rd qtr's end. Whatever Goddard was doing wrong during the first 2 qtrs, it was corrected and the Crusaders struggled on both sides of the ball as the temps dipped into the lower 20's and the last 24 minutes of action ticked off the clock. The visitng Lions took control and never looked back. Goddard scored 3 times in the 3rd, to take the lead and sealed the deal in the 4th with another TD & PAT...13 WHS Seniors saw their HS Football careers come to a close. As sophomores, they endured the 0-9, 2016 season. As juniors, they moved forward, finishing 5-5 and returned to post-season play for the first time since 2010. This year, Coach Zane Aguilar's IRONDUKES picked up the gauntlet, ending with an 8-3 record, losing only to Andale, Mulvane and Goddard. 2 of those 3 remain in action as Sub-State approaches this coming weekend. Although all "8" victories were awesome, week #1's win over COLLEGIATE (32-0), signaled to CRUSADER FANS everywhere, Wellington is back on the football map...congratulations to our boys and their coaches for the great ride they provided the fans of 2018. A memorable group, seniors on down, a group that will continue to prepare hard for the 2019 season, just 9 1/2 months away. PROUD TO BE A CRUSADER!
