What a fun evening at WHS on Wednesday - it was Class Night, an event full of awards and recognition, and more - including the distribution of laptops to those in the graduating class that filled out the local scholarship application via the Guidance Office, making themselves eligible for that possibility.
It was Regional 4A Softball time in Ark City Tuesday, mother nature cooperated more than she had the night before in Winfield for the Regional 4A Baseball Tournament, which was rained out after the first game, that will conclude today, beginning at NOON for the Crusader Baseball boys.
Congratulations to Freshman Blake Saffell and Senior Ty Wilson for their 1st place and 5th place respective finishes today at the Regional 4A Golf Tournament hosted by WHS at the Wellington Golf Club. Awesome job gentlemen! Both will advance on to the STATE 4A Tournament in Emporia on the 21st.

Multiple numbers, including 8 solos and more, all directed by Jessica Coldwell - all well received by those in attendance.
The annual WHS Sports Banquet was held Wednesday evening, with a large crowd of student athletes, parents and fans on hand as participants in all Crusader Sports and Cheer were honored and recognized for their achievements, not just on the field or court, but also in the classroom.
