Both the 7th grade and 8th grade Lady Knight basketball squads came one game closer to all the marbles Saturday in semi-final action at Mulvane vs Mulvane in the season concluding PIONEER LEAGUE TOURNAMENT which will culminate on Monday.

Congratulations to Coach Frazee and his 8th grade Lady Knights - their 37-17 victory Saturday improved their overall season record to 14-0 and now 11-0 in league! One more big game to go, Monday at Mulvane MS vs El Dorado MS at approx. 6:15pm. 

Down 4 pts after 1 qtr of play, the Crusaders stepped it up a notch and by half lead by 3, 22-19. Wellington added to that lead in the 3rd qtr and would head down the stretch with the Wildcats with a mildly comfortable 6 point advantage, 35-29, and only 8 minutes to go. 

Turned out not to be a "good 8 minutes" for the visiting Crusaders, El Dorado put the pedal to the medal, outscoring WHS 17-4 and secured the non-league victory for their home crowd, final 46-39.

Only close in the beginning, as any contest is, the WHS Varsity Lady Crusaders pulled away early from their host at El Dorado HS Friday evening, ending the night with a 4th qtr running clock, Wellington hustled their way to the 62-31 victory. 

WHS 2017 Graduate Chris Kop, now in the United States Army, stopped by his ole Alma Mater Friday for a visit.

Spoke with Chris who indicated he joined the Army to "do something different with my life and maybe make a difference." The Army lifestyle takes some getting used to Chris said but "you just have to overcome the challenges and keep moving forward". Private Christopher Kop is an Aircraft Electrician and works on helicopters. Chris is heading off to Germany soon for a 2 year stay.
