HERE @ 4A SUB-STATE TOURNAMENT
Saturday, October 24, 2020
An exciting run by the Lady Crusaders, at Saturday's 4A Sub-State tournament held here at WHS. In the semi-final rounds, it was Clearwater over Winfield and Wellington over Mulvane, both matches, 2 set matches. The "2" advanced to the Championship Final and what a first set in the final, it was. Back and forth, and unfortunately a 26-28 victory for the visiting Lady Indians. The "mo" slipped a bit and Clearwater wrapped it all up in 2 sets, with a 25-12 victory in the latter. Congrats to them and their 4A Sub-State Title and good luck to them in the quarterfinals on Tuesday @ Clearwater.
Hard to say good-bye to this year's Lady Crusaders for sure. Especially our "3" seniors, all familiar faces on the Knight Courts and the Crusader Courts, clear back to the 2015-16 school year. Thank you Lexi, Mykiland and Myriland for such awesome representation over the years, as Lady Knights, as Lady Crusaders, and now, soon to be Crusader Alums - you're leaving a great group but becoming a member of one that lasts a lifetime. We welcome you and all and wish you the best as you continue down your timelines of life. Enjoy the journey!
GO BIG RED!!

Lots of exciting Volleyball Tuesday evening at Wellington High School. Both our Varsity and Jr. Varsity squads hosted the two "C's", Circle HS and Clearwater HS. Action in both gyms resulted in the following results - some "really close" sets and half of the matches required "3" sets to determine the eventual vanquished or victor. The Wellington squads played solid and were a joy to watch...their sticktoitiveness and tenacity can only bode well for the future. Great efforts RED! Many more pics, including JV, are at www.wellington.cc, HOME of the LADY CRUSADERS! GO BIG RED!!

Our Lady Crusader Varsity Volleyball squad went 2-1 Saturday at the Winfield HS, 8 team, early bird tournament, downing Ark City and Winfield, and losing to Mulvane in "3" sets with an exciting finish it appears. (I say appears, due to Covid related guidelines, Winfield officials did not allow fans or media to view Saturday's action). The Lady Crusaders will have a chance at quick redemption vs Mulvane, they'll be road-tripping there on Tuesday, Sep. 1st. Participants will have "3" tickets each for their family or fans to use. (to purchase admission tickets with). Looks like the action will also be livestreamed on the NFHS Network - WHS uses the same network for their livestreaming.
Here's the overall finishes from Saturday's action (below) - congrats to our Lady Crusaders and Coaches - a very good start to the 2020 season!

@ Rose Hill vs Nickerson
(4A SUB-STATE)
Saturday, October 20, 2018
The 2018 WHS Volleyball Season came to a close on Saturday @ Rose Hill HS. 4A Sub-State action vs Nickerson didn't produce the "W" needed to advance - the Lady Crusader underclassmen will say good-bye to the courts until the 2019 season rolls around - 7 Seniors will say good-bye forever. It's always difficult when season's end, especially for the graduating Seniors. Saw several recent graduates at Sub-State 4A action in Rose Hill - the ladies have a love for the game and as their predecessors, they will be missed.
SENIORS (L to R) - Adrienne Norris, Reese Heasty, Taylor Meyer, Brooke McCorkle, Chailyn Dickinson, Delaney Parkey, & Sierra Rademacher
Rose Hill, with a season record of 31-6, emerged as 1 of 8, 4A Sub-State Champions, and will be the #4 seed in the TOP BRACKET, along with #1 seed Independence (37-2), #8 seed Topeka-Hayden (21-17), #5 seed Louisburg (32-8).
In the BOTTOM BRACKET, the "4" Sub-State Champs include #2 seed Chanute (33-6), #7 seed Bishop Miege (21-16), #3 seed Andale (32-6), and Wichita Trinity (22-15). 4A State Volleyball this year will be at Hutchinson Community College, this coming Friday & Saturday (26th & 27th).
At Sub-State @ Rose Hill, Nickerson downed Wellington 25-16, 25-19 to advance. Rose Hill downed Buhler and then in the Championship match, downed Nickerson to advance.
Thanks for a great season Lady Crusaders - the squad finished 19-17 overall.

@ Cheney HS Tournament
Saturday, September 22, 2018
The Varsity Lady Crusader Volleyball squad found success Saturday at the Cheney Tournament, finishing 2nd, behind the host.
The Lady Crusaders finished 2nd in their pool, defeating Hutch Trinity 2-1, Chaparral 2-0 and lost to Cheney 0-2. Wellington then went up against the #1 seed from the other "pool" (Wichita Trinity) and beat them 2-1! That win placed them in the Championship Final vs. the host again and unfortunately came up short 0-2. Coach Brewster was pleased with the team's performance, felt they played well and was proud of them for that. Brooke McCorkle and Jennifer Jensen were named to the all-tourney team. One unfortunate note, Senior Adrienne Norris sprained her ankle in the pool play match vs Cheney. They are hoping for a speedy recovery!!
Adrienne and 6 other seniors will be playing on the HOME COURT just one more time and that will be this coming Tuesday. (Senior Night) Come out and show your support for all their efforts over the years - let's give them a raucous sendoff. They will be missed. In addition to Adrienne Norris, there's Brooke McCorkle, Chailyn Dickinson, Taylor Meyer, Delaney Parkey, Reese Heasty, and Sierra Rademacher! Best wishes to all of you as your lives continue onward and upward!

2018 VOLLEYBALL TEAM PICS
2017 SEASON
It cannot be overstated in any way, shape or form. The WHS Lady Crusader Volleyball squad achieved great things this weekend at the State 4A D1 Tournament in Salina.
This is a program that has gone through numerous coaching changes over the past 4-5 years. This is a team that had a .500 record for the season leading up to the big show in Salina. This is a group of young ladies that could look very good in match action, and then at times not as much. There was never any doubt though the underlying talent & desire was solid, the chemistry was good, and the commitment to their teammates, real and lasting.
There were 8 teams this weekend in 4A D1 competing for the State Crown, including defending champion and #1 seed Rose Hill Rockets. Additionally, #2 seed Independence, #3 seed Ulysses, #4 seed Louisburg, #5 seed Basehor-Linwood, #6 seed Wellington, #7 seed El Dorado and #8 seed Bishop Miege. The Lady Crusaders had fewer wins than any of these other 7 teams...and then POOL PLAY began.
The Lady Crusaders quite frankly, came out sluggish and lost in two sets on Friday in opening pool play action to Ulysses. (19-25, 15-25) So, out of the starting blocks their backs were against the wall and if they were to have any chance at all to advance out of pool play into bracket play on Saturday, they could lose no more. In match 2 on Friday, #2 Independence took to the court with our Lady Crusaders and dominated. Set 1 to Independence. (14-25) Now it is truly nitty gritty time. Buckle down and get it going or on Saturday you won't be showin'!
Independence continued to exhibit control in Set 2 and the Lady Crusaders found themselves down 10-20. 10-20! 10-20!!! Desperate times had arrived but not alone. You never see CRUSADER MAGIC coming but you know when it's on scene and on scene it was as Set 2 looked like it was heading to a definite loss and match loss and opportunity loss to advance. The Lady Crusaders got down to business though and the MAGIC took over. How often does a team come back to win from a 10-20 deficit in such a pressure packed environment? Gotta be very slim chances overall - it is just too difficult to do and our ladies did it, pulling out a 25-22 win and forcing a 3rd set against the #2 seed so they weren't out of danger just yet. The battle was on. Independence couldn't lose, they were the #2 seed! Wellington wouldn't lose because their 'MO" was a "GO" and when the 3rd set dust settled - WHS 25 IHS 23 - the Lady Crusaders were still in the hunt! Whew! Double Whew!
The 3rd and final pool play match, also a must-win was up vs El Dorado. If you don't finish pool play at 2-1 or better, your chances of moving on are slim or non-existent. So, the pressure didn't decrease nor did the drama. In Set 1, nothing in life is easy and this set went on for quite some time - perhaps longer than any set I've ever witnessed. Finally, the Lady Crusaders would prevail, after a back & forth battle - the score? 34-32! What a set!!! Just one more to go and HELLO SATURDAY (hopefully). The MAGIC continued and in Set 2, El Dorado succumbed to the pressure and the girls in Crusader Red pulled out a relatively easy set win and consequently match win, 25-16. Now they had to wait for tie-breakers, etc..to be analyzed and implemented as not one, not two, but three of the four teams in their pool had ended up with 2-1 records but only 2 slots awaited filling for Saturday action. Ugh!
MAGIC works on and off the court when your a Crusader and MAGIC was at work with the tie-breaker. Too complicated and mathematically boring to share so suffice it to say, INDEPENDENCE and EL DORADO packed their bags, WELLINGTON AND ULYSSES were heading to SATURDAY semi-final action and a shot at the State 4A D1 Championship Title. It's time to get some rest and get ready for the biggest volleyball day of their lives.
The two semi-finals on Saturday would pit Rose Hill against Ulysses and Wellington against Louisburg. Louisburg had actually defeated Rose Hill in pool play so we knew they were formidable. The 2 winners would then face-off for the State Championship, the 2 losers would face off for 3rd place consolation honors.
Louisburg came out on fire and exhibited a high degree of Volleyball expertise and took care of business. In the first set, Wellington lost 11-25. The Lady Crusaders did pick it up some in Set 2 but again, Louisburg proved to be too much for WHS and they took the 2nd set as well, this one 17-25. Rose Hill by similar scores downed Ulysses so the final two stages were set. On Court A - defending State Champion Rose Hill would go up against Louisburg for all the marbles. On Court B - Wellington and Ulysses would have a rematch from pool play on Friday and one of them would emerge with 3rd place honors.
Wellington was a different team Saturday when they took the court with Ulysses than Friday when Ulysses as mentioned above, downed WHS in two sets (19-25, 15-25). And that flustered Ulysses in the end, the first set very close, WHS 25 UHS 23 but the MAGIC was too much for the Lady Tigers in Set 2 and WHS won easily 25-16 to claim the 3rd place hardware and just an unbelievable end to a fun season. This was Seniors Valerie Ast, Keelie Cunningham, Jenna Rausch, Shayland French, Jill Wiley and Gracie Fink's last hurrah in Volleyball. Their long and storied careers were over but the hardware was theirs! Teammates Reese Heasty, Brooke McCorkle, Adrienne Norris, Jennifer Jensen and Taylor Meyer will be back and will be joined by some outstanding younger Crusaders coming through the pipeline. Lady Crusader Volleyball is moving up! Congratulations again to a fine, fine group! Congratulations to 1st year head coach Blake Brewster as well! Blake and his assistants made it happen and are to be commended. The Lady Crusaders move on now, continue to work on their academics (nearly every team member at Salina is on the academic honor roll) and of course for some, pursue their winter and then spring sports activities as the 2017-18 school year continues on.
When they reflect back though on the FALL of 2017, the memories will be fond, their smiles will be big and all of us will perhaps be better persons ourselves, having witnessed so much tenacity and composure and team oneness from a group of girls that exceeded all expectations and left their mark on the history of WHS Volleyball for all to see! Awesome job ladies - just totally dang awesome!! Thank you for the great ride!!
SATURDAY MATCH ACTION PICS / TROPHY PICS
One Last Tournament Note: On Court A, the battle between Louisburg and Rose Hill was nothing short of CLASSIC. Louisburg jumped out early on the defending champs and took Set 1. In Set 2, Rose Hill dominated so to final Set 3 they went to determine who the 2017 State Champ would be. Talk about drama, it was a back and forth battle with large contingents of fans on both sides screaming and yelling. In the end, our AVCTL sister team if you will, Rose Hill prevailed, securing the State Title for the 2nd year in a row - a phenomenal achievement against a VERY SOLID Louisburg team. During the trophy presentations, the Rose Hill Lady Rockets cheered and applauded loudly when Wellington was announced and awarded 3rd place medals and plaque. It was extremely cool. The Lady Crusaders returned the gesture when Rose Hill was presented as the champion - the two teams afterwards, showing their friendship and their AVCTL connection, took pics with each other and all savored in their accomplishments and comradery. Great day to be a human being. CONGRATS TO ALL!
******************
A big, big event in Salina Friday for our Lady Crusader Volleyball squad and their coaches. It was State 4A Volleyball Tourney time and the stage was set. In one Pool, the Lady Crusaders (#6 seed), Ulysses (#3 seed), Independence (#2 seed) and El Dorado (#7 seed).
In the other Pool, Rose Hill (#1 seed), Louisburg (#4 seed), Basehor Linwood (#5 seed) and Bishop Miege (#8 seed).
In first match action, Ulysses defeated the Lady Crusaders in two sets, 19-25, 16-25.
In their 2nd match vs Independence it wasn't looking good for the team in red, lost the first set to Indy 14-25 and was down in the 2nd set 10-20 at one point. This match was a must-win match for the Lady Crusaders to have any chance of advancing to semi-final play on Saturday. And then it happened. Crusader Magic came a callin'! and a callin'! and a callin'! Don't look now but the 10-20 deficit was suddenly a 25-22 set victory, followed by a 25-23 set victory - match! The Lady Crusaders defeated the #2 seed Independence. It was awesome.
The third and final game in pool play Friday was against El Dorado. The Lady Crusaders came out flat after that unbelievable comeback on Independence but battled the Lady Wildcats to a 34-32 first set victory! They kept pouring it on and in no time it was a two set win for Wellington, downing El Dorado in the 2nd set 25-16. It was an amazing feat accomplished by some very amazing young ladies from Wellington. They are guaranteed no worse than 4th in the State and have a shot at even higher status.
At 10AM Saturday, the Lady Crusaders will go up against Louisburg, who defeated Rose Hill Friday (Rose Hill was defending their State Crown from last season!). It will be a tough match for Wellington but hey, it's STATE - ain't supposed to be easy! The winner of that game will go on to face the winner of Rose Hill vs Ulysses in the Championship finale. The losers of those two semi-finals will play in a consolation match for 3rd place and a nice plaque!!
A great day for Lady Crusader Volleyball - never say die...just keep pluggin' away...congrats again to the Ladies and their coaches. You represented well and made our community very proud...good luck Saturday!!!

Had the Lady Crusaders pulled out those 5 "close set" battles, the match record for the day could have been as good as 4-1, (depending on subsequent 3rd set outcomes in a couple of the losses). Here are the MATCH OUTCOMES for the day:
Wichita Trinity over Wellington: 25-23, 12-25, 8-25
Conway Springs over Wellington: 16-25, 24-26

Awesome Job Lady Crusaders!
Our Varsity and JV Lady Crusader Volleyball squads were in action at HOME on Tuesday, well almost home…the matches were held at WMS due to a bleacher malfunction at WHS…that malfunction has since been fixed so all matches will be at WHS from this point on for the Lady Crusaders this season. The Varsity Squad “split” against McPherson and Mulvane. In opening action it was McPherson in “2” sets 20-25 and 21-25. In the nightcap, the Lady Crusaders battled back and defeated Mulvane in “3” sets 20-25, 25-19, 25-19. That is determination – awesome job ladies! The JV Girls battled hard as well – they fell to McPherson in “3” sets but like their Varsity counterparts, defeated Mulvane in “3” sets to “split” on the evening.
The Varsity Girls are 4-5 now – congrats!!
