Both Crusader basketball teams kicked off their respective mid-season tournaments with solid wins over their opponents.  The boys are engaged in the 54th Annual Roadrunner Classic hosted by Chaparral, and their first round opponent, Circle, trailed the Dukes for the duration of the game.  The Crusaders' 78-65 win allows them to advance to the winner’s bracket and the squad will face off against the Wichita Warriors (who defeated Clearwater) on Friday, January 24 at 5:30pm.

For #1 Doubles, junior Cruz Cornejo partnered with classmate Logan Robinson, and senior Kadynce Aufdengarten paired with freshman Addi Thomson for the #2 team. Senior Addie Hinshaw and sophomore Ellie Hays rounded out the team at #2 and #1 Singles.
