Austin Harriger and Austin Fink, for the 3rd year in a row, will be heading to the State 4A Debate Tournament in Ft. Scott tomorrow and Saturday. A sendoff was held today at WHS for the pair and their spares, Lizzie Harriger and Philip Starnes. We wish them all the best and appreciate greatly their awesome representation over the years. GO BIG RED!!!
The Patriot League Spelling Bee was held Tuesday afternoon at Wellington Middle School. Individuals from Clearwater, Rose Hill, Haysville West, Mulvane, Prairie Hills (Buhler), and of course Wellington participated - here are the outcomes for both 7th and 8th grades - CONGRATS TO ALL!!
The Lady Crusaders SWEPT for the 5th time this season, taking care of business with the visiting Lady Spartans of Collegiate on Tuesday at WHS. Traditionally, the Lady Crusaders have done well against the Lady Spartans, that tradition continues. We don't have a lot of height but compensate for that with good ball handling and speed. The JV continues with the EGG in the loss column, moving to 8-0 after a battle with the visiting Spartans.
The Varsity Crusader Boys shot out to an 11-3 lead on Collegiate Tuesday evening, didn't take the Spartans long to "right" their ship and by 1st quarters' end, Collegiate was up 30-15, at halftime 42-20. The Spartans were high percentage shooters, knocking down "10" 3's to the Crusaders "5", and did so with high accuracy. They had the height advantage as well. Collegiates' platooning system allows a fresh five on the court a greater amount of time, too. A Purdue University scout was on hand, checking out one (or more, I don't know) of the Spartans.

Lady Crusader ANNA CULLENS went 5-0 today @ Wichita North to place 1st! Anna downed Garcia of Wichita North, Torres of Newton, Nichols of Wichita Heights, Wald of Hesston and French of Wichita North! Anna is now 9-0 on the season!
The Clearwater boys went home with "3" W's Friday evening, defeating the WHS V, JV & C Teams to achieve that end. Certainly were not blowouts, and one, very close. The boys in red will rebound. A young bunch overall, nice performances by several - as those individual performances transition into team performances, watch out. There is talent on the court. Many smiles to come.
