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.
