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. Rose Hill secured their first victory Friday, downing other winless 4A West team, Independence who fell to 0-8 and will face McPherson Friday. Ouch.

With that said though, it was a painful loss, (13-14) the result basically being, they executed overall, more efficiently. The 1st qtr was dominated by Wellington, the 2nd by Mulvane. Down 7-14 at half, the Crusaders fought back and scored in the 3rd but came up short on the PAT. The RED Defense in the 2nd half, kept Mulvane out of the endzone, but the 1 pt. deficit could not be overcome. The jinx genies were prevalent too and Wellington stumbled with inconsistent play, especially on offense. The Week #8 Crusaders looked nothing like the previous week's Crusaders...again, perhaps a good time for that to happen though, as the outcome affected nothing, other than pride. 

**Since it was a 3-way tie with Goddard and Mulvane (all 3 of us 6-2), there was no Head to Head determiner for all three so it went to points. If the Crusaders would have lost by 13, then Goddard would have had the edge on points and got the #2 seed, then Mulvane's Head to Head win over us would have gotten Mulvane the #3 seed and us the #4. Didn't happen that way - I love numbers!! :)
