Congratulations to SR. CHASE PFALZGRAF and JR. MACKENZIE HEACOCK, both have qualified for the STATE 4A MEET in Wamego (Country Club) next weekend. Chase finished 7th in the Boys 5K, Mackenzie finished 10th in the Girls 5K (her personal best time, bettering her time on the All-Time Best List @ WHS where she remains "1st" on the list.)
The 4A Brackets are out for playoff action (see link below) which will begin Friday. Turns out, the loss to Mulvane did nothing to alter the outcome for who we would play this coming Friday. The Crusaders went in as #2 seed, likely to face #15 seed Rose Hill week #9, and emerged as the #2 seed and will play Rose Hill this coming Friday HERE, despite the loss to the Wildcats who end up the #4 seed. This will perhaps catch the attention of a couple of Mulvane players who while exiting the field were letting the crowd know they were the #2 seed now.** Oops.
The KWHS NEWS TEAM at WHS recently held a contest for an official KWHS NEWS logo to kick off their new NEWSCAST (coming next week!) The competition was tight with several very cool logos submitted by 4 different WHS students! The choices were tough and after verifying that other news organizations use more than one logo, the KWHS NEWS TEAM selected logos created by "2" different students, Senior McQuay Bongato and Freshman Stellar Young. Other contributors included Rhett Nance and Cody Metz.
Results are in - congratulations to WHS Sophomore Payton Ginter who finished 13th Tuesday (just 1 stroke out of top 10) at the weather-delayed State 4A Girls Golf Tournament in Hutchinson. Payton had an 89 on the day, 18 over par. Wichita Trinity's Hanna Hawks finished 1st @ 68, 3 under. Awesome job ladies!!
"91" girls participated in and finished the tournament.

Week 7 brought another victory to the Wellington Crusader Varsity Football squad. The boys in red road tripped east to Viking Land and returned home a few hours later with a 22 -7 win. The Crusaders were up 14-0 at halftime and soon thereafter, up just by 7. However, a fumble in the red zone by Winfield resulted in a Wellington TD with 2:30 left in the game to go up by 15. Game over. Penalties hurt the Vikings, 95 yards worth...Crusaders ended game with just 20 yds, the fewest this season.
