After an UNDEFEATED regular season, the WMS 7/8 Boys Tennis Team were in the "end of season" Pioneer League Tournament action at Winfield on Monday. The squad played well as they had all year but came up short, finishing in 2nd, just a few points out of 1st, behind Ark City. Good job, gentlemen!!
Individual results are as follows:
Jax Cornejo #1 singles: 5th place
Carson Rademacher and Justin Norris, #1 doubles:
Jax Cornejo, son of Jesse and Airily Cornejo, a 7th grader at WMS and winner of this past Fall's Sumner County Spelling Bee, carried that title with him to Hays, Kansas today for the Regional Spelling Bee and made it to the 8th round and finished 8th out of 95 participants and medaled to boot!!!
The word Jax went out on..."efficacy"... but spelled some tough ones up to that point! Wellington is very proud of you Jax!! Way to represent KNIGHT!! That is awesome!
and.......
The WMS 8th grade Lady Knights Monday evening in the PIONEER LEAGUE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP game vs El Dorado at Mulvane MS, dotted every "i", crossed every "t", and iced every "cake" - this, their 30th game as Lady Knights, would also be their 30th VICTORY - these young ladies NEVER LOST the past two seasons! AWESOME!
Congratulations to the Wellington Middle School 7th Grade Lady Knights Basketball Team!!! After winning the "regular season" PIONEER LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, with only 1 loss, they now have added the end of season PIONEER LEAGUE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP to their repertoire! Way to go Coach Whaley and Lady Knights!
The WMS 7/8 Basketball Knights were up bright and early Saturday for quarterfinal action at this season's PIONEER LEAGUE TOURNAMENT being held in Clearwater. When the dust all settled on the day, the 7th graders advanced to the semi's with a 37-24 victory over host Clearwater, the 8th graders would call it a season, falling to Winfield 58-28.
Both the 7th grade and 8th grade Lady Knight basketball squads came one game closer to all the marbles Saturday in semi-final action at Mulvane vs Mulvane in the season concluding PIONEER LEAGUE TOURNAMENT which will culminate on Monday.
Congratulations to Coach Frazee and his 8th grade Lady Knights - their 37-17 victory Saturday improved their overall season record to 14-0 and now 11-0 in league! One more big game to go, Monday at Mulvane MS vs El Dorado MS at approx. 6:15pm.
Winter sports are underway, well at least at the middle school! Both the girls and boys 7/8 A&B teams had their season openers last night (Thursday), the boys hosted HAYSVILLE WEST MS here at WMS in both gyms and the girls traveled to HAYSVILLE WEST for some road action.
Overall, a good night for the KNIGHTS and LADY KNIGHTS – the former SPLIT, winning 2 and losing 2 but the latter (the ladies!) swept Haysville West (on the road), coming home with 4 wins and no losses – great start to the season!
Here are the stats we have so far!

WMS had a solid group of Knights and Lady Knights take part in the Pioneer League Div IV Championship Tuesday. Congratulations to all of them for their participation, that takes considerable nerve and composure to participate in these kind of events and to do so at middle school age says a lot about this group of 5!
Kudos to Jax Cornejo who finished FIRST in the 7th grade division - he won it all, spelling the word Methuselah correctly! Great job Jax!
Here are the mixed results from Monday evening's Pioneer League action vs Winfield 7th and 8th grade boys and girls. Our Lady Knights hosted, the Knights road tripped to Viking land - here are the results!

PIONEER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2017!
The WMS runners had a good showing Tuesday, coming in 2nd place, missing the League Title by just 1 point! Winfield ran both Div. IV (us) and Div. III (other teams) together in each race and it was Hard to determine where we were in the race with another division on the field.
7th Grader Jax Cornejo placed 7th on the ALL Time Best Top 10 list. We came home with 8 Personal Records, 5 individual medals and second place team medals for the 7th grade boys.
The WMS Knight football squads road-tripped to Clearwater Thursday for some Pioneer League action. The 7th graders had a hard time getting things going on both sides of the ball, coming up short in the 30-0, 7th Grade Clearwater victory.
The nightcap produced a closer contest but a heart breaker in the end...Clearwater scored with just 20 secs. left for their 21-14 triumph.
