Wellington JV Football hosted the Augusta junior varsity squad on Monday night, October 7, and scored late in the game to win 7-6!
The wellington.cc camera was there for the first half (Ms. Ford was on teacher duty taking her turn with float-building supervision for the second half), and couple of yearbook cameras were there to capture the full game!

The Wellington Crusaders made the long trip to Altamont to take on the Labette County Grizzlies on September 27th. It was all Crusaders the whole way to a 43-6 blowout. The Big Red Passing Machine was still on all cylinders with Dusty Bannister throwing for three of his four touchdowns in the first two quarters, two to Carter Burnett and one to Grady Norris. The defense was active as well, allowing zero points and Grady Norris returning an interception for another touchdown in a 26-0 first half.
