The Crusaders looked awesome, even in the eventual loss to Ark City in the Championship contest for the opportunity to advance to the State 4A Tournament next week in Emporia (ACHS 4 WHS 1). The Crusaders had two great games of baseball to end their season. "7" Seniors will definitely be missed. Congratulations to them, the team, and their coaches!!

Varsity Crusaders season ends at 13-9.
