The Crusaders jumped out early on the Rockets Friday at WHS and led by 8 points at halftime. Rose Hill cut that deficit in half by the end of 3, finding themselves down just 4. A high scoring game by Wellington's Junior Tanner Meyer would eventually seal the deal for the home team! Tanner pumped in 14 in the 3rd, keeping the visiting Rockets at a distance. Final score was RHHS 57 WHS 60!

Congratulations to WHS Senior Zane Cornejo, who signed a "Letter of Intent" with KCAC's McPherson College, Wednesday morning at WHS, to play football in the 2020-2021 school year. Present for the signing were Zane's parents Jamie and Maria Cornejo, and 2 of his WHS Football Coaches, Head Coach Zane Aguilar and Coach Ryan Elder.
Mid-season tournaments are over and all the squads are back together again...well, almost. The WHS Girls program whose numbers were down a bit this year, resulting in no "C" Team, those numbers were down even more Tuesday when about 1/3 of the squad was home ill. Consequently, on the girls side, only the Varsity game was played.
