The Crusaders looked awesome, even in the eventual loss to Ark City in the Championship contest for the opportunity to advance to the State 4A Tournament next week in Emporia (ACHS 4 WHS 1). The Crusaders had two great games of baseball to end their season. "7" Seniors will definitely be missed. Congratulations to them, the team, and their coaches!!
Varsity Crusaders season ends at 13-9.

REGIONAL 4A @ ARK CITY
Tuesday, MAY 15, 2018
It was Regional 4A Softball time in Ark City Tuesday, mother nature cooperated more than she had the night before in Winfield for the Regional 4A Baseball Tournament, which was rained out after the first game, that will conclude today, beginning at NOON for the Crusader Baseball boys.
Tuesday afternoon at Ark City, in the opener, Ark City defeated Coffeyville 11-0 in the first semi-final. The Lady Crusaders squared off against Winfield in the 2nd semi, and unfortunately came up short in the end, 1-4. Season over, Winfield went on to play the host Ark City and the Lady Bulldogs had little trouble with the Lady Vikings, winning 12-0 and advancing onto the State 4A Tournament slated for May 24th-25th at Emporia.
Want to thank the WHS Yearbook staff for the semi-final pics below vs Winfield. The plan was for wellington.cc to cover the Championship game that followed, which of course didn't happen for the girls in red this go-round.

Monday, MAY 14, 2018
Congratulations to Freshman Blake Saffell and Senior Ty Wilson for their 1st place and 5th place respective finishestoday at the Regional 4A Golf Tournament hosted by WHS at the Wellington Golf Club. Awesome job gentlemen! Both will advance on to the STATE 4A Tournament in Emporia on the 21st.
WHS as a team, finished "tied" at 2nd with Wichita Trinity. (Andover Central finished 1st) - using tie-break criteria, Trinity ended up in 2nd, Wellington 3rd, only the TOP 2 teams advance (as a team) so that was unfortunate for certain for the Crusaders. SO CLOSE!!!!

In their nightcap, it was WHS JV 14 Goddard JV 00! Silas Popplewell (Poppy), too threw a complete game shutout, striking out 7!

Great baseball action at Hibbs-Hooten Monday with the visiting "Crusaders" in town from Buhler. Weather? PERFECT! Low 70's, sunshine, light breeze, PERFECT!
A great battle ensued in the opener, Wellington jumped out early with a 4-0 lead after 1 and held on. Error free baseball has its rewards! Both Schoemann and then Cade Phelps in relief, kept things manageable, striking out 11 between them and just 2 ER's total. Both Matt Rinehart and Grey Hatfield went 2/4 at the plate, all singles. Pitching and error-free play were big in this game. Buhler 2 Wellington 4

Thursday, APR 19, 2018
This is the 4th year for the WMS Golf Program - before I share today's outcomes at Rose Hill, check this out!
This coming Monday at the Pioneer League Tournament in Ark City, will be the 39th golf event for the WMS Boys since their program began 4 years ago. Are you ready for this?
The Knights have won 37 of 38 individual "GOLD" medals since the program began. The only one they lost was last year at Ark City when our #1 player wasn't able to play that day. Wellington still won TEAM GOLD that day and secured 2nd thru 6th places! (Our 2nd place finisher was just 1 stroke back!)
At the end of last year (3rd year for the program), of the 210 gold medals up for grabs (individual and team) during that 3 year period, Wellington boys snagged 209 of them!
Can I get a big HOORAH from all of you!!!!! THAT IS AWESOME! THAT IS AWESOME! THAT IS AWESOME! Congratulations to Coach Jeff DeJarnett and the Knights - that is one heck of a run!!

This was Langdon's debut and he shot a 51. He stayed consistent and did very well according to Coach Vanessa Sawyer. Rylan Blasi had a rough start but brought things around, shooting a 41. Hayden Baker DEFENDED HIS TITLE, as he won this same tournament last year! In 2017, Hayden shot a 37, Monday 040918, he shot a 35, just 2 over par and his 2nd consecutive Andover Tournament win!! Awesome job Hayden!! (and Rylan and Langdon!)

Thursday, Mar 29, 2018

In Game #1, Wellington jumped out on the Indians 3-0 after 2, and hung onto the margin until the 5th inning. Andale crossed home plate 4 times to take a 1 run lead into the bottom of the inning. The Crusaders responed with 3 more of their own, to regain their lead, now by just 2 runs. The Indians had two more at-bats to remedy their situation but came up short, scoring only 1 in the top of the 7th and final inning, losing to the Crusaders in the opener. The Indians "out-hit" the Crusaders 9-4 but also "out-errored" them 5-3. Great start for the team in red!
Arlis Troutman (0-0) pitched for 4.2 innings, giving up 8 hits and 4 runs and 2 SO. Cade Fairbanks (1-0), came in, in relief for 1.2 innings, giving up 1 H, 1R and 1 SO. Gage Cunningham relieved Fairbanks for the final 2 outs of the game.

In Game #2, Andale turned the tables early on, leading 2-1 after 1. Both squads remained scoreless for the next 4 innings. In the 6th, both added a run, leaving Andale up 1. Then the 7th and final inning arrived and the flood gates opened for the visiting Indians. In the top of the 7th, Andale crossed the plate 11 times and won the nightcap 14-2. Andale had 7 hits total, Wellington 4. "Error honors" went to the Crusaders this game with 5, Andale had 3.

Lady Crusaders @ STATE 4A
vs Labette Co / Tony's Pizza Events Center / Salina
Wednesday, Mar. 7, 2018
The WHS Lady Crusader's 2017-2018 season came to a close Wednesday evening - 4 young ladies that Lady Knight and Lady Crusader fans have followed since the 2012-2013 school year, saw their last action on the court as WHS basketball players. Thanks for the adventures Avery Rusk, Shayland French, Mekenna Adams and Gracie Fink! These "4" have to have as many or more "career victories" on the hard court than Lady Crusaders who have preceded. If not, gotta be close!
Wellington, the #7 seed at the girls 4A Div 1 tournament in Salina, went up against the #2 seed Labette Co in opening evening action. The Lady Grizzlies jumped out to a double digit lead early and a scrappy and determined group of Wellington girls were able to battle back by mid 2nd qtr to only a 4 pt. deficit before Labette fired up their engines and took off again with effective shooting and ball control.
By halftime, the gap had begun to build and WHS found themselves down 18-29 with 2 qtrs to go. Labette came out on fire the 2nd half unfortunately and stretched their lead to the eventual 21 pt victory in the end, (39-60) for two basic reasons, their shots were going down, the Lady Crusaders' shots were not.
The Rusk sisters, Senior Avery and Freshman Rylee combined for 28 pts (14 each), followed by Senior Shayland French with 8. Junior Jacelyn Buck added a 3. As mentioned, the Big Red shooting percentages suffered,. 6/27 from the field (22%), 6/29 3 pt shots (21%). Free throws 9/14 (64%). All "9" of those FT's were made by the Rusk duo - Rylee went 8/10 from the line. Avery ended the season just "2" made free throws short of tying the WHS Season Record for "Free-Throws Made". Both drive to the paint a lot, drawing fouls with frequent regularity.
In total, it seemed there were at least "6" reasons to drive-away sad Wednesday evening from Salina, the first and actually the least significant, we lost. Reason 2, Coach Randy Strothman after 40 years of coaching and teaching in Wellington is moving on, and reasons 3, 4, 5, 6 - Avery, Mekenna, Shayland and Gracie, who pounded the courts in Wellington much to the delight of classmates, teammates and fans for 6+ years are moving on too. I'm happy for all of them, sad that that fork in the road has arrived though. Kudos to all of them, Coach Eric Adams, Coaches Samantha Brown and Jaedyn Ledesma and a great group of Lady Crusaders who will be back next year, and the year after, and the year after. Proud to be a Crusader! (Kudos to the WHS Student Body and Fan Base - we were well represented and complimented by tournament officials for our sportsmanship)

The Varsity Buhler Boys are a good team. They move fast, they move the ball fast and they have a Paul Bunyan in at center position. All of that combined, the Wellington Crusaders couldn’t muster enough offense to stay in pace but battled hard and kept it relatively close the first half before the northern Crusaders pulled away.

@ Haven (Wildcat Classic)
vs Kingman
Saturday, Jan. 27, 2018
The #8 seed Lady Crusaders finished up the Wildcat Classic at Haven HS on Saturday. After a huge upset win on Thursday vs the host and #1 seed Lady Wildcats (49-46), the girls in red lost that "mo", falling to #5 seed Cheney on Friday (53-29) and then coming up short vs #3 seed Kingman on Saturday, (57-40). Still a 4th place finish in a field of 8 so nothing to hang your head about there. Cheney's full court press, (same press that gave the Lady Crusaders difficulties back on Dec. 7th at WHS), was again too much for the girls in red. Multiple turnovers (26) reduced Wellington's opportunities to score greatly.
On Saturday, in the 3rd place contest, Wellington shot poorly from 2 pt range, making just 5/21. 3 pt range considerably better but not enough to make up all the ground. (9/20) Opportunities at the free throw line were limited too, just 3, but made all 3. In fact, Avery Rusk was the only Lady Crusader to even shoot free throws on Saturday. How often does that happen? Final score Kingman 57 Wellington 40. Rusk ended up with 51 pts total in the 3 day tournament, securing her spot on the ALL TOURNEY TEAM - Congratulations to you Avery - awesome job!!
Scoring in the finale went as follows:
VARSITY GIRLS vs. KINGMAN

I'm not sure what percentage of games involving #1 seeds vs #8 seeds lead to the latter's favor, Thursday night though, at the Haven Wildcat Classic, it was 100% of the time. Our 5-4 Lady Crusaders hung tight, kept their composure under the guidance and direction of some awesome coaching, refused to let an early game barrage of Wildcat 3's dampen their spirits or determination and in front of a stunned Wildcat home crowd, nailed down a nailbiting 49-46 victory, spoiling the hosts' tournament in their new and quite nice gymnasium, and forcing folks to take notice of Wellington's new and loftier presence on the tournament bracket!
The Lady Crusaders played one of their best games ever, the senior leadership was what senior leadership is supposed to be - Avery Rusk pumped in 28 (her never say die attitude was in high gear), Mekenna "cool hand" Adams, calmly slammed down FT's near games' end to put the big ole bold-type "1" in the Lady Wildcats LOSS COLUMN! How sweet it was! Senior Gracie Fink even slammed down a "3" early on, her and others doing all they could to not allow the fast paced game get away. The raucous and quite confident Haven fan base and players, just couldn't put the game away and they fell silent through much of the contest as Wellington stayed within striking distance, from the mid 1st qtr until the final surge the last 5 minutes...too bad for the host. The Lady Crusaders never gave up. Juniors Jacelyn Buck and Taylor Meyer hustled, hustled, hustled and "3" WHS Freshmen saw action as well, Rylee Rusk, Draven Warnock and Lexi Clift, Rylee, a lot of action and 9 pts to boot!
The Lady Wildcats shot a lot of free throws down the stretch, the Lady Wildcats didn't make a lot of free throws down the stretch. The Lady Crusaders applied pressure, the host and their crowd began to smell real trouble nearly halfway through that 4th qtr when Wellington, having been down double digit points early on, suddenly took the lead for the first time at the 5:35 mark. You could smell upset but the game would stay close until Adams calmly nailed her FT's to extend the lead to 3...the Lady Crusaders would swarm the ball and steal it away, never even allowing the Wildcats a final shot and a chance at OT. The buzzer sounded, Wellington fans erupted - the lowest seed in the tournament had themselves one sweet victory!
Congratulations to Head Coach Adams, an undefeated and over confident Wildcat opponent met their match Thursday evening, the Lady Crusaders had come to play and play they did. PROUD TO BE A CRUSADER FAN - you ladies were awesome!!

WHS VARSITY FOOTBALL (REGIONAL 4A)
@ Maize South High School
Friday, Nov. 3, 2017
WELLINGTON CRUSADERS vs MAIZE SOUTH MAVERICKS - REGIONAL 4A 11.03.17
WHS - 07 00 00 00 - 07
MSHS - 14 14 07 14 - 49
The 2017 Crusader Football Season came to a close Friday evening in Regional 4A action at Maize South HS. The Mavericks secured the momentum early on after an incredible start by the Crusaders. After a strong kickoff return by Julian Jimenez to near mid-field, Michael Ledbetter unleashed a 46 yd TD pass on the first play from scrimmage to DeAndre Washington for 6. Karsten Gill came in for the successful PAT (center- Gage Cunningham, holder - Zander Vargas)...with only :16 gone in the game, the underdog Crusaders were up 7-zip! Kazam!
That lead and "MO" were short-lived unfortunately. At the 8:17 mark, just 3 1/2 minutes later, Maize South scored on a 30 yd scamper, knotting it at 7-7. The Mavericks never relinquished the momentum from that point on, pulling away with 3 additional TD's by halftime and 3 more by game's end, connecting on all 7 PAT's as well. Final Score 49-7. The Mavericks move to 9-1 on the season and will face McPherson at HOME (Maize South). McPherson edged out Buhler in OT 15-14 to advance. Not a good night for Crusaders. Andover Central downed Mulvane 30-21 bringing the Wildcat season to an end as well.
In Sectional 4A-1 play this coming Friday, it will be DeSoto vs Fort Scott, Bishop Miege vs Labette County, Andover Central vs Andale and as mentioned, Maize South vs McPherson. In Sectional 4A-2, it will be Hayden vs Burlington, Holton vs Frontenac, Clay Center vs Scott City and Smoky Valley vs Holcomb. In 8M-11, Caldwell was victorious and will face Hanover on Nov. 10th in Sectional action.
The Crusaders generated 247 yds of offense in the 49-7 loss. QB Michael Ledbetter was 9/22 passing (147 yds). DeAndre Washington caught 6 of those 9 for 85 yds and a TD. Joe Ybarra 2 for 58 yds and Zander Vargas, 1 for 4 yds. Six different IRONDUKES carried the ball vs the Mavericks - Deyton Araujo had 7 carries for 59 yds, Zane Cornejo 1/45 yds, Isaac Hilt 7/20 yds, Joe Ybarra 8/14 yds, Grey Hatfield 2/6 yds and Michael Ledbetter 7/-4 yds.
The Crusaders had 9 first downs to the Mavericks 13. Trayson Probst punted the ball 6 times for 194 yds (32 yd avg).
Coach Aguilar and his staff and the Crusaders, end the 2017 season at 5-5. A marked improvement over 2016, Coach Aguilar's first year as head football coach at WHS. The mood was upbeat at games' end Friday. Coach even called a timeout with just a few seconds left to allow WHS kicker Karsten Gill a shot at a field goal. The attempt came up short, the scoreboard clock rolled to zeros...2017 season was over.
It would seem there's a lot to look forward to next season including a completely different playoff system in 4A. READ HERE We are however, losing an awesome group of Seniors this year. The young men battled hard, made our "lines" as strong as they've been in a while and the backfield too...they will be missed. We say goodbye to Cade Phelps, Jack Walton, Logan Jones, Braiden Buresh, Ian Groom, Gabe Smith, Deyton Araujo and last but not least, Aaron Schoemann. These gentlemen left their mark in multiple ways, on the field and in the classroom. We are certainly proud of these young men and the rest of the squad that will carry on in their absence next Fall. GO BIG RED!!

WHS VARSITY VOLLEYBALL (Bracket Play)
@ STATE 4A TOURNAMENT (Salina)
Saturday, Oct. 28, 2017
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 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, 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!!
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!

District Playoff HERE vs Ulysses
Friday, Oct. 27, 2017
There was a lot on the line Friday evening down at Sellers Park as both the Wellington Crusaders @ 1-1 and the Ulysses Tigers @ 1-1 entering the last week of district play with the hopes of a win and a taste of 2017 post-season play. The last time for the Crusaders was 2010 - they were due and payment was made in the form of an explosive 28-14 victory over Ulysses whose season is now complete.
The Crusaders won the toss and elected to receive to start the game. The air was cool and getting cooler but the winds had died down which made the night considerably more bearable than would have been otherwise. Neither team could find paydirt in quarter one but with 11:07 left in the 2nd quarter, Deyton Araujo broke it loose for a 52 yard TD scamper. With the successful PAT by Gill, the Crusaders are up 7-0. Well, 14 seconds later it was 7-7, the direct result of the kickoff return a good length of the field - the game was on and at 10:53 of quarter two, the score was 7-7. Just before halftime, QB Michael Ledbetter behind a strong line that was providing time, launched a pin-point 17 yarder to DeAndre Washington resulting in a TD and with the subsequent PAT, at half it was Wellington 14 Ulysses 7.
Not unlike the 1st quarter, the 3rd quarter didn't keep the scorekeeper busy but with 8:03 left in the game the Crusaders made it a two TD margin and were up 21-7 after a 12 yd reception by Zander Vargas. At the 3:00 minute mark, Joe Ybarra too converted a 12 yd reception from Ledbetter and the WIN WAS IN! With little time left on the clock, Wellington was up 21 points and post-season play just over the horizon. The Tigers scored quickly but time ran out - after 7 years, the Crusaders will not be checking in their equipment after week #9. Their 28-14 victory over Ulysses took care of that.
On the evening, there were 204 rushing yards accumulated by Wellington, Deyton Araujo carried the pigskins 10 times for 103 yds, including the 52 yd. TD run to put the boys in red on the scoreboard early. Joe Ybarra had 18 carries for 58 yds., Isaac Hilt 7/ 24 yds, Michael Ledbetter 9/10 y ds., Julian Jimenez 2/8 yds and Trayson Probst 1/1 yd.
Passing, Ledbetter threw 23 passes for 216 yds. Julian Jimenez had a pass intercepted. On the receiving end of those passes were DeAndre Washington, 7/117 yds and a TD, Zander Vargas 3/52 yds and a TD, Isaac Hilt 1/33 yds, Joe Ybarra 1/12 yds and a TD and Gage Cunningham 1/2 yds. Trayson Probst punted just once and it was for 23 yds.
It was also SENIOR NIGHT Friday night at Sellers - be sure to check out the nearly 3 dozen pics from that! (Below)
Haven't seen the official Week #10 schedule but it looks like the Crusaders will be taking on Maize South next Friday...more about that when details become available.

@ STATE 4A TOURNAMENT (Salina)
Friday, Oct. 27, 2017
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!!!

HERE vs Mulvane (Week #2 District Play)
Friday, Oct 20, 2017
What looked like early on to be an ensuing battle, turned out to be something else as the game progressed between the 1-0 Wellington Crusaders and 1-0 Mulvane Wildcats in district play Friday evening at Sellers Park. Mulvane found paydirt first but Wellington answered, knotting the score after a 3 yd. TD reception from Ledbetter to Jimenez and a successful PAT by Karsten Gill. This would be Wellington's one and only score after a myriad of untimely penalties and big plays at the right time by the visiting team from Mulvane.
The defense shined at times but were unable to keep the Wildcats out of the endzone and by early in the 4th qtr the Mulvane lead was too much to overcome and the offense just couldn't sustain any drives. The Crusaders would fall 35-7 and now they find themselves in a must win situation for next Friday when 1-1 Ulysses (who beat Winfield Friday evening 29-14 @ Ulysses) will come a visiting here for the last regular season game of the year. Next Friday will also be SENIOR NIGHT at Sellers Park.
Junior Joe Ybarra lead Wellington rushers Friday, carrying the ball 23 times for 68 yds. Deyton Araujo had 3 carries for 16 yds, Isaac Hilt 1 carry for 3 yds, QB Michael Ledbetter 8 carries for 1 yd and Trayson Probst 2 carries for -1 yd. Total rushing yards for the Crussaders, just 87. In passing, Junior QB Ledbetter completed 6/14 passes for 32 yds...on the receiving ends were Zander Vargas, 2/20 yds, Trayson Probst 1/9 yds, DeAndre Washington 1/4 yds, Julian Jimenez 1/3 yds (TD) and Joe Ybarra 1/ -4 yds.
Probst was called upon to punt "4" times for 112 yds total. (28 yd avg). The Crusaders mustered 9 first downs to Mulvane's 16. Total Offense for Wellington just 119 yds (87 rushing, 32 receiving).a
At halftime, a new DUCHESS from WHS was crowned - congratulations to Senior Lexi Saffell (escorted by Senior Hayden Baker) - Lexi was crowned DUCHESS by Senior QB Cade Phelps as her court looked on. Other candidates included Mekenna Adams, Abby Lowe, Jenna Rausch and Jill Wiley. Other escorts included Jaden Adams, A.J. Snipes, Ian King and Austin Sears. The children and children escorts were Charley Wilmoth and Reed Wellington, escorted by Seniors Arlis Troutman and Grace Fink. Congratulations to the new reiging DUCHESS, Lexi Saffell!!!

COACH AUFDENGARTEN'S STATE TOURNAMENT WRAP-UP!
Had a big day the first day, and even bigger day on day 2. Finished 1 point out of second and third, that stung a little, but some of that was out of our control, we did the things we had to do by getting wins on day 2.
Abby Lowe 2nd year being a state qualifier, won her first match 6-1,6-1 over Wyse from Hays, then she lost to the state runner-up Schabel from Independence in a great match that Abby played so well losing 6-3,6-4. She then won two more over Becker from Marysville 9-1, then in a crazy match when it was getting dark she played Scharenberg from Circle. Abby was up 8-6 when the girls couldn't see because there were no lights on the court. They moved courts about about a 15 minute wait. Scharenberg tied the match at 8-8 and they were in a tiebreak and Lowe was down 2-4, then a breaker went out and the lights went off again, they had to wait another 15 minutes to move to the only two courts with lights. Lowe lost the first point going down 2-5, then rallied 5 straight points to win 7-5 in the tiebreak. That guaranteed her a medal at state. Day 2 Lowe lost to Ruffin from Collegiate 1-9, then lost to Allen from McPherson 2-9. In her final match she played Trout from Independence and won 9-4, to place 11th. Lowe finished her career with 81 wins.
The Rusk sisters had a tremendous state tournament after placing 4th in regionals last week. The pair opened up with Bishop Miege and won 6-1,6-4,then they ran into Edmonson/Bruce from McPherson who finished 4th overall and lost 3-6,3-6. This put the sisters on the backside and they faced Parsons and won 9-5. In their next match they met a familiar opponent who they played at regionals also Withrow/Lair from Collegiate. The Rusk sister jumped on them early and played one of their best matches at state and won 9-0. That guaranteed them a medal at state also. On day 2 they opened up with Maddex/Sagehorn from Andover Central who they lost to at regionals. Maddex was the state runner-up in doubles last year. The Rusks won a hard fought battle in a tiebreak winning 9-8(7-2). They then played Holthaus and Williams the regional winner from Marysville in the Topeka Hayden regional. The Rusk sister jumped on them early with great net play 7-1. Marysville charged back a little but the Rusk girls held on to win 9-4. This put them in the 5th/6th place match against King/Marquez from Independence who the girls lost to earlier this season 2-8. Again Avery and Rylee came out very strong and got a good lead early. Independence charged back and even called for a line judge on match point to try and rattle the sisters. After about 10 match points for Wellington the sisters finally put the match away and won 9-6. Unbelievable, I knew they could medal and they were good, but they went on a nice run this weekend. 6-1 at the state tournament for these two. Avery went to state the two years she played. Rylee ties the Wellington record for the highest place for a freshman with Kylie Aufdengarten taking 5th place. Rylee also sets the all time single season win mark with 33 wins breaking Lexis Hibbs and Kaitlyn Buck's record with 32. Avery Rusk is tied for 2nd getting 32 wins this season. Avery finishes her two years with 51 career wins. Rylee was also the highest placing freshman in this years state tournament.
Mekenna Adams & Kylie Aufdengarten got a first round bye because they placed 2nd at regionals. They faced Walker/McChristian from Ark City in the second round and won 6-1,6-0. This pitted them against Holthaus/Williams from Marysville, a regional winner. The match was tight at first, but Wellington prevailed 6-4,6-3. The win in this quarterfinal match guaranteed the pair a top 4 finish. Day 2 began against Ark City's Burr/Weathers the defending 5A state champions. Ark City jumped out to a 3-0 lead but Adams and Aufdengarten responded winning 3 in a row to tie it up. Ark City went up 4-3, and the rains hit delaying things for about 2 hours. Ark City responded after the break winning 6-4. In the next set Wellington jumped up 2-0, and then had a 4-3 lead on Ark City and the rains hit again. After about a 15-20 minute wait Ark City again got it's composure and won again 6-4. Seemed like every time we got the momentum the rains hit. After the loss it sent Adams and Aufdengarten to the 3rd/4th place match where they met up with McPherson's Edmonson and Bruce another regional winner. Wellington had the lead in the first set, but lost it at 5-6, then Wellington tied it up and a tiebreak was played. Wellington jumped out to a 5-2 lead, but soon it was 5-4. Wellington questioned a call at that time, so McPherson called a line judge on themselves. After that the Wellington pair won 2 straight points to win the tiebreak. In the next set Adams and Aufdengarten jumped up 3-0, but then all of a sudden it was tied at 3-3. Wellington held the lead each time, and finally put the match away 6-4. What an awesome weekend, we never talked about it but we wanted to finish higher than last year in a much deeper draw, but we didn't know if it was possible. So proud of these two, Mekenna has given so much to this program. Adams is the only Wellington tennis player to medal all 4 years taking 9th with Maggie Fink, 7th with Madison Adams, 5th with Aufdengarten, and now 3rd with Aufdengarten. She ends her career with 109 wins which ranks 2nd behind Lexis Hibbs and Kaitlyn Buck who had 114. Aufdengarten was the highest placing sophomore in the state tournament this year, and now has 56 career wins in two years. We have some very big shoes to fill with us losing Mekenna, Avery, Abby, and Lexi Saffell.
Wellington finished 4th in 2009.

@ Winfield (District Playoff Game #1)
Friday, Oct. 13, 2017
It's been 7 years since the Crusaders emerged from district play and advanced on to post-season action. (It's been almost 2 calendar years to the date since we won a district game at all). Friday night in Winfield, they moved closer towards that end, (post-season), winning the first 2017 district game 14-7 over the Winfield Vikings, coached by former Crusader Head Coach Linn Hibbs, chalking up more offense than they had since week #2 vs El Dorado. On the down-side, Sr. QB Cade Phelps went out the 2nd qtr with an injury to his left knee. No official word yet other than it's a "significant" injury. Phelps was on the sideline in street clothes and on crutches the 2nd half with his knee iced.
Back up Jr. QB Michael Ledbetter took over the reigns of the offense and did a very adequate job for his first varsity action this season. Down 7-0, Michael and the Crusaders would find paydirt before the first half ended and knotted it at 7-7 by the break on a 1 yd run by Jr. Joe Ybarra and a successful PAT by sophomore Karsten Gill after missing a FG earlier in the game. The Crusaders were penalized for 100 yds to Winfield's 30 yds. That's all I should probably say about that.
Wellington came out the 2nd half and were able to keep the Vikings out of the endzone and add another TD on another run by Jr. Joe Ybarra, this one a 5 yarder, the PAT by Gill was good again! Prior to that score, Ybarra had been on the sideline, getting his chin stitched up after an impact caused his braces to slice through the chin area. Dr. Scheufler worked his magic and Ybarra was back in the game shortly thereafter. He was wearing a different jersey though, #5 had blood on it so Ybarra put on #12 and continued on.
Several Crusaders carried the ball for a total of 249 rushing yds. Ybarra had 38 carries for 169 yds and the 2 TD's. Deyton Araujo broke loose and chalked up 38 yds on 4 carries and 1 fumble. Trayson Probst carried the pigskin 6 times for 22 yds, Cade Phelps 1 carry for 10 yds prior to his injury. Julian Jimenez was 1/-3 yds and QB Michael Ledbetter 4/-4. Phelps went 1/2 passing for 2 yds, Ledbetter 6/11 for 74 yds. (1 Interception) Total Offense 326 yds, just 25 yds shy of the totals from week #2 vs the Wildcats from El Dorado. DeAndre Washington caught 4 passes for 45 yds, Julian Jimenez 2 for 29 yds and Gage Cunningham1/2 yds. The Crusaders had 22 first downs but the penalties, the fumble and the interception reduced the scoring opportunities for the team in the red. Trayson Probst would punt the ball 3 times for a total of 93 yds (31 yd avg). Sophomore Zander Vargas had a 48 yd return on the opening kickoff...a nice run by Zander.
Next up for the Crusaders, Mulvane who defeated Ulysses 40-14. Both will come into next Friday's game in Wellington (which is HOMECOMING) with 1-0 district play records. 0-1 Ulysses will take on 0-1 Winfield. District play will wrap up with Ulysses here on the 27th. The top 2 teams will move on to post season, again a journey the Crusaders haven't taken since 2010.

WHS VARSITY GIRLS GOLF
@ Hays (4A REGIONAL)
Monday, Oct. 9, 2017
WHS's pioneering Girls Golf team headed to Hays on Monday for Regional 4A action. The weather wasn't very golf-like for sure, cloudy, winds gusting to 35mph and cool temps in the low 50's - not good golfing weather at all. Wellington Freshman Payton Ginter buckled down though and shot a 109, a score that would place her in 12th out of about 50 participants and would advance her on to the State 4A Girls Golf Tournament in Topeka coming up on Monday, Oct. 16th.
It's been a great year for the "new" team, all freshmen and 1 sophomore. Congratulations to all for the hard work they have put in this pioneering year for Girls Golf at WHS and we all look forward to their continued play next season, joined by more girls moving up from the ranks of Lady Knights. Members of this year's squad, in addition to Payton, included Lauren Bales, Taylor Heasty, Alisa Walters and Kaity Kreifels. Great start to a new program with the final chapter for 2017 not quite yet written. It soon will be though..good luck at State Payton!!

WHS VARSITY GIRLS TENNIS
@ Regional 4A Tourney (Collegiate)
Friday/Saturday Oct. 6-7, 2017
Coach Brian Aufdengarten's Regional perspective:
"Day 1 was very exciting qualifying 5 of our players and all guaranteed a state trip on the first day.
Mekenna Adams & Kylie Aufdengarten received the #2 seed and won over Trinity and Andover Central putting them in the semifinals.
Avery Rusk & Rylee Rusk got the #4 seed and won over Pratt and in a thrilling three set match over Collegiate. This put them in the semifinals also.
Abby Lowe seeded #7 probably pulled off the biggest upset on the day in any 4A regional. She beat a Pratt player, then beat the #2 seed from Circle, an exchange student that came in 17-1. This put her in the semifinals also.
Jacelyn Buck won her opening match over Augusta, but then lost to a Collegiate player. This kept her alive for day 2.
Day 2 had its ups and downs, after a great first day. We finished 1-6 in matches on the day.
Adams and Aufdengarten won their first match 6-0,6-1 over Andover Central. Half that Andover Central team was state runner up in doubles last season. This pitted them in the championship against the #1 seed from Collegiate. We battled hard and played very well just didn't win a lot of deuce points and lost 6-2,6-4. We played well Collegiate put their singles player that finished 2nd last year at state in doubles, they are pretty darn good.
The Rusk sisters came up short in both of their matches losing to Collegiate 6-1,6-3, and losing to Andover Central 6-3,6-3. I'm proud of these two sometimes it is tough playing with a sibling and they've done really well. The pair finished 4th overall.
Lowe also came up short on both her matches as she played against two very good Collegiate players. Abby had such a nice day Friday, that might be one of the biggest upsets I've had by a singles player. We didn't think of it as an upset necessarily, but that usually doesn't happen. Lowe finished 4th.
Buck jumped up early against her player from Andover Central 2-0, but after the Andover Central player won 4 straight games, Buck never really recovered. She just got frustrated with how things were going in the match. She came close but with the loss was eliminated.
Team Standings
Collegiate 20
Andover Central 16
Wellington 15
Circle 7
Augusta 0
El Dorado 0
Pratt 0
Ulysses 0
Wichita Trinity 0
This was a tough regional, we are probably a stronger team this year, but we missed the runner-up plaque by 1 point. We actually had more team points than we did last year when we took 2nd. Collegiate was the only team to take their entire team out of this regional, all the rest of us knocked each other out."

Regional 4A Tennis concludes at Collegiate - "5" Lady Crusaders finish in TOP 6 and will advance to next weekend's State 4A Tournament in Pratt - congratsto all for their efforts!!!

GOOD LUCK AT STATE!!
/*/*/*/*/*/
Our Varsity Lady Crusader Tennis squad shined Friday at the 4A Regional at Collegiate HS. Wellington's #1 Doubles squad, Mekenna Adams and Kylie Aufdengarten were #2 seeds, #2 Doubles Avery and Rylee Rusk, #4 seeds, Jacelyn Buck #4 seed and Abby Lowe #7 seed.
Adams and Aufdengarten went 2-0 Friday to secure their spot at Pratt next weekend - Mekenna's 4th trip to the State 4A tournament in as many years. Quite an accomplishment for that young lady!
Rusk and Rusk went 2-0 as well and will join their teammates in Pratt next weekend along with Wellington's #1 single player Abby Lowe. Abby, the #7 seed as noted above, upset the #2 seed to also advance to State action in Pratt.
Jacelyn Buck, after winning her first match 6-0, 6-1 -battled hard in her 2nd match, coming close 2-6, 5-7. Jacelyn remains in the hunt and can still qualify on Saturday.

WHS VARSITY FOOTBALL
@ Scott City
Friday, Oct. 6, 2017
WHS 00 06 00 00 - 06
SCHS 14 00 07 07 - 28
Weather forecasters as we all know, sometimes miss a forecast or two, especially those that extend very far into the future. This week, they nailed it. On Tuesday and since, we were told there would be T-storms. strong northerly winds and dropping temps in Scott City early Friday evening. Bingo, bingo and bingo.
The IRONDUKES Week #6 game was played 4-5 hours NW of here (@ Scott City HS) but started about 35 minutes late due to strong storms, lightning, etc...the teams initially took the field for warmups but were removed from the field shortly thereafter for more than an hour as the bad stuff passed through. Fans retreated to their cars and awaited Mother Nature's temperment to improve. Never improved greatly but improved enough to get the game in despite 40 mph winds out of the north, dropping temps and a very wet field that resembled a pool along the sidelines.
Week #6 game was much like week #5 game at HOME (vs Collegiate) - the opposition jumped out early but then the Crusaders would regain some of that "mo" in the 2nd qtr. to make you feel like - this game could go in the win column! Think Scott City was a little worried about that at halftime as well. Like week #5 though, the boys in red couldn't get all the cylinders to fire and eventually would find themselves out of reach of victory #4 on the season. There were moments of excitement but overall were hindered in their ability to move the ball offensively and find paydirt with it. Of course it doesn't help when your leading rusher (Jr. Joe Ybarra) is on the sideline in street clothes, healing his ankle and a few others from the lineup wearing jeans as well. All teams are afflicted with that scenario by this time of the season, have heard that Winfield (our first district playoff game coming up Friday) has incurred some injuries, but hey, that's football. Joe and some of the others are expected back so for that we can be grateful. Over the next 3 weeks, the real season will play itself out and hopefully this 7 year journey to post-season play can happen.
Scott City, with the gale force winds to their backs in the 1st qtr were able to put up 14 points, their first TD, a gift if you will. The IRONDUKES, having stopped the Beavers and leaving them with a 4th and 7, forced a punting situation. Unfortunately, Wellington jumped offside, now it's 4th and 2 and the Beaver offense, feeling a little more confident with only 2 yds to gain for a 1st, came back on the field. The 1st down was easily attained and only a handful of plays later, paydirt was found. The PAT failed and Scott City lead 6-0 and would lead the rest of the way. The Beavers would find the end zone again and several "3 and out" scenarios by Wellington's offense early on and they'd also make up for the failed PAT earlier with a 2 point conversion. Score after 1, Wellington 00 Scott City 14. (Score after 1 last week, Wellington 00 Collegiate 14)...and like last week, the IRONDUKES clawed their way back some in the 2nd qtr, scoring and not allowing the other guys to score. Went into half only traililng 14-6 and the "big mo" seemed to be switching to RED. Wellington's only score as it would turn out would be that 2nd qtr. scamper by Jr. Grey Hatfield who ran it in from the 20 for a nice play. Good blocking, good jukin' and jivin' - Grey's 2nd TD of the season. For the first half anyways, the team with the wind to their back had the advantage.
Things looked like they'd continue to improve the Crusader's position when early on in the 3rd, the IRONDUKES stopped Scott City's drive with a Michael Ledbetter interception at the 8:16 mark...Michael returned the ball 18 yds. The IRONDUKES failed however to capitalize and just 4 1/2 minutes later, the BEAVERS found the end zone again and moved ahead 21-6 after 3. They would add another 6 and a PAT halfway through the 4th on a 3yd run to seal the deal (28-6) and give the 5th game rubber match between the two schools to SCOTT CITY who would move to 3-2 in their games with Wellington over the years, dating clear back into the 80's. The bus ride back to Wellington wouldn't be as jubilant as some in the past. That season is over now though and season #2 commences.
District play will begin this Friday @ Winfield, followed the next Friday (Homecoming) here at home vs Mulvane and then week #9 (Oct. 27th) the Ulysses Tigers will be in town for the district playoff and regular season finale. The top 2 (Wellington, Winfield, Mulvane, Ulysses) will move on, the other two, equipment check-in on Oct. 30th.
Stat-wise, the Crusaders as mentioned, struggled offensively overall. Total offense generated came in under 100. (80 yds passing, 15 yds rushing) Hatfield was the leading rusher for the Crusaders, carrying the ball 15 times for 49 yds and the 2nd qtr. score. All other rushers ended with negative yardage. Phelps chalked up 80 yds passing (9/28), Michael Ledbetter had 3 receptions for 31 yds (plus the 3rd qtr interception), Julian Jimenez 3 receptions for 22 yds. DeAndre Washington had 2/19 yds and Gage Cunningham 1/ 8yds. Only 6 first downs by the boys in red compared to 15 for the host. Trayson Probst was forced to punt 8 times for 278 yds total, a 35 yd avg for the Crusader punter. Scott City would chalk up 274 yds total offense, 49 passing and the balance of 225 on the ground.
After 6 games, the Crusaders find themselves at 3-3, a marked improvement over the 2016 season. Now it's time to play for some important marbles - district playoff marbles and post season opportunities. We all know from past experience, in a few years not many folks will remember the 3-3 record for weeks 1 thru 6. They will however remember these next 3 games on slate...here's hoping the IRONDUKES can extend the season beyond those 3 games...and that possibility certainly exists...some good fortune always helps but these Crusaders will rise to the occasion - you can sensel it.
Side note: listening to the Scott City announcers during the game on the "live stream" provided by their school, you couldn't help but feel proud of Wellington's football heritage. When people that live over 200 miles away know as much about the history of your program as we do, it spells nothing but R-E-S-P-E-C-T... and that is something you can hang your hat on. Proud to be a Crusader - GOOD LUCK IRONDUKES - bring it home gentlemen.

Monday, Oct. 2, 2017
Head Girls Tennis Coach Brian Aufdengarten was very happy after Monday's action at Collegiate. It was AVCTL League Tournament time and our Lady Crusaders finished 2nd as a team - Coach Aufty indicated the team hadn't finished that high since 2010. Way to represent LADIES!!
Finishing 1st, Freshman Rylee Rusk beat a decent Winfield player in her first match, then defeated Scharenberg from Circle who was the #1 seed! In the finals, Rylee beat Withrow from Collegiate. Rylee came in 0-0 (Singles) and was the #4 seed. She had played doubles all season with sister Avery.
Finishing 3rd, Mekenna Adams and Avery Rusk beat the #4 seed from Buhler to open, then lost in the semi-finals to the eventual champion Collegiate, 4-6, 5-7. Mekenna and Avery went on to defeat Winfield in their final match. Mekenna and Avery came in 0-0 (Mekenna had paired with Kylie Aufdengarten and Avery with her sister Rylee all season) and were the #5 seed.
Finishing 2nd, Kylie Aufdengarten and Jacelyn Buck got the #2 seed and finished where they got seeded. They defeated El Dorado and Circle in their first two matches, but didn't have a lot of answers against the Lair sisters from Collegiate in the final.
Finishing 4th, Abby Lowe who had some long matches on the day after getting the #4 seed. Abby defeated McPherson in a super tiebreak, then lost to the #1 seed from Circle 4-6, 5-7. In her final match she lost in a super tiebreak to Nihart from Winfield.
"I'm very proud of the girls." Coach Aufdengarten

HERE vs Collegiate
Friday, Sep. 29, 2017
CHS - 14 00 07 07 - 28
WHS - 00 07 00 06 - 13
It was Week #5 Friday night across the football lands of Kansas, the (3-1) IRONDUKES were at HOME after an unsuccessful road trip Week #4 to Andale. The Wichita Collegiate Spartans were in town, the evening was perfecto, no wind, nice temps and with that sense of community always present on Friday nights at Sellers. This Friday was different and that sense was intensified several times over as we together grieved and honored the passing of WHS Junior Stephen Jamerson. Stephen was tragically lost in a motorcycle accident Thursday evening west of Wellington.
Stephen was a cherished member of the WHS Marching Band, his band-mates and many others have been hit hard by the loss, together though they have demonstrated strength, love and loyalty. As the football team entered the field, scores of BLUE BALLOONS (Stephen's favorite color I am told) were released into the calm, peacefully blue, autumn sunset sky - quite frankly, a very moving moment...even now just recalling it. Rest in peace Stephen, we will miss you. I would also like to commend the numerous Collegiate fans who participated in the balloon launch, there are just some things bigger than winning or losing every once in a while and everyone present Friday seemed to grasp that.
The Crusaders were able to generate more offense this week than last and until the 4th qtr left you with the impression they could win this thing. Collegiate always seemed to answer though and the IRONDUKES couldn't get it over the hump. The Spartans jumped out early with two first qtr. TD's and lead after 1, 14-0. The Crusaders regained the "MO" and were most of the show during the 2nd qtr, shutting down Collegiate and posting 7 points of their own to boot. You had a sense at halftime that this game could still go either way. It was a back and forth affair with LOTS OF PENALTIES - (19 total on the night for both squads combined), the Crusaders closed the margin (21-13 early in the 4th) but again, the Spartans answered, scoring a TD to pull away with the 28-13 victory.

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.
Just two weeks left in the season for the Knights, both weeks will be at HOME. Next Thursday the Knights host Winfield...on the 12th, Mulvane.

@ Kingman Invitational
Wednesday, Sep. 27, 2017
If this article was about WHS matches lost at the Kingman Invitational on Tuesday by our Varsity Girls Tennis squad, the article would end here. So instead, let's talk about the perfect day for the team and a career benchmark set by Senior Mekenna Adams.
Wellington dominated, 13-0 as a team in match play, 4 "1st" place finishes and of course on top of the team totals, defeating Buhler, Valley Center, Kingman, Haven and Nickerson. Here are the totals:
Wellington 34, Buhler 24, Valley Center 16, Kingman 14, Haven 6 and Nickerson 3.
#1 Singles Abby Lowe went 3-0, beat Nickerson 7-4, beat Valley Center 7-0, and won the finals over Roe from Kingman 7-2. Abby has had two good tournaments in a row for us
#2 Singles Jacelyn Buck went 3-0 also beating Valley Center 7-2, beating Kingman 7-0, and Buhler 7-2. Jacelyn as well continues to play well for us and is now 19-5 on the season.
#1 Doubles Mekenna Adams (right) & Kylie Aufdengarten (left) went 3-0 also beating Kingman 7-0, then beating a Valley Center team that finished 5th at state in 5A last year 7-3. In the finals they beat a good Buhler team 7-2. Adams surpassed the 100 career win mark in her second match. Mekenna ended the day with her 101st career win. just sliding by her first cousin Erianne (graduated in 2012) who had 100 during her storied career too as a Lady Crusader tennis player. Only "5" previously in WHS history have hit the 100 win career mark. We now have 6! (Erianne Adams 100, Mekenna Adams 101, Dani Anderson 105, Kailey Jenkins 107, Kaitlyn Buck 114 and Lexis Hibbs 114).
Awesome job Mekenna! Mekenna has partnered with Maggie Fink, sister Madi and Kylie Aufdengarten during this run.
#2 Doubles Avery Rusk & Rylee Rusk went 4-0 in the tournament, beating Haven 7-0, Kingman 7-1, Valley Center 7-1, and Buhler in the finals 7-4. The wins today moved the sisters to 22-5 on the season.

Friday, Sep. 22, 2017
The 2017 IRONDUKES squad got their first taste of defeat Friday, on the road at Andale, losing 38-0. The Indians, larger, quicker, deeper and all the other 'ers, controlled the game, sputtering a little in the 2nd qtr due to some good defense by our boys in red. The last part of the 2nd qtr this season has been a productive time for the Crusaders. Friday at Andale, the defense shined as the half approached. Andale up 17-0 and threatening to score and go in with a much more substantial lead were shut down by the Ironduke D, even after having spent considerable time on the field already. It was all for not in the end though, the Indians proved to be too much and the Crusaders fall to 3-1 on the season. Junior Caleb Reichenberger is out with a hand injury suffered last week, Sophomore Silas Popplewell is out with a broken arm suffered this past Monday at Rose Hill. No additional "game-ending" injuries known at this time.

Much like WEEK #2 vs El Dorado, WEEK #3 vs Rose Hill turned out to be a game of two halves.
(0-2) Rose Hill would find the end zone first, scoring at the 5:16 mark of the first quarter but failing on it's attempt for a point after. The (2-0) Crusaders weren't able to muster any points until just seconds before the end of the 2nd qtr. Wellington with less than a minute left in the half, lost the ball on a punt return, giving possession immediately back to the Rockets with another opportunity to cash in before the break. The cash register would indeed ring but not for the Rockets. On the next play from scrimmage, Junior Michael Ledbetter intercepted a Rocket pass and returned it 56 yards to tie the score at 6. Karsten Gill's PAT attempt hit the right upright and bounced out - halftime score Rose Hill 6 Wellington 6. If you'll recall, the Crusaders scored for the first time in the final seconds of the 2nd qtr vs El Dorado last week, neither first half as productive as the subsequent 2nd halves would be.
After the break, both the Rockets and the IRONDUKES would find paydirt in quarter 3, the latter on a 2 yd run. by Junior Joe Ybarra, his 7th TD in just 3 weeks. Karsten Gill nailed the PAT, a feat he and his holder Zander Vargas and center Gage Cunningham have demonstrated will happen far more often than not, as this young season progresses towards the mid-point. Wellington's scoring was not over...Ybarra scored his 8th TD on another 2 yd run and then a 73 yd TD pass from Cade Phelps to DeAndre Washington sealed the deal, returning the Rockets to their launch pad with an 0-3 start for their season. There were multiple personal fouls called during the game, 3 against the Rockets, 1 against the Crusaders. All totaled , Rose Hill was flagged for 80 yds in penalties, Wellington 50. The Crusaders forced the Rockets to punt the ball 9 times on the evening.
Joe Ybarra was the leading rusher for the Crusaders, carrying the ball 26 times for 114 yds and 2 TD's - a result of the efforts of the line and his own ability to find daylight and move the ball forward. QB Cade Phelps was 8 for 21 yds, Deyton Araujo 2 carries for 5 yds. Isaac Hilt had 2 carries for 4 yds. Phelps completed 5 of 13 passes for 113 yds. All of those completions byJunior DeAndre Washington including the 73 yd, 4th qtr deal-sealer. Total offense for the home town boys was 257 yds. Trayson Probst punted the ball 5 times for 164 yds (33 yd avg) and Karsten Gill went 3/4 with PAT's. The Rockets did win the FIRST DOWN category, 14-11 over the Crusaders.

#1 Doubles Avery Rusk & Rylee Rusk went 3-0 good for first place. The pair beat a decent Eisenhower team 8-1, then South Barber 8-1. In the final match they played Conway Springs and jumped out to a 5-2 lead, but Conway Springs tied it at 5-5. The Rusk sisters won 3 straight to win the match 8-5. "What a win that is a good one, they are getting better every meet and are now 12-1 on the season.
#2 Doubles Jacelyn Buck & Lexi Saffell played in their first meet together and also went 3-0 on the day for first place. They opened things up with a nice win over Eisenhower 8-6, then beat South Barber 8-0. In their final match the Wellington pair lead 5-4, but then gave up 3 straight games and trailed 5-7. Then then held serve to get it to 6-7, and then broke Conway Springs to tie it at 7-7. In the tiebreak it was all Wellington winning 7-2. "Very pleased with these two today, they haven't had alot of practice together and have both played singles all season."
#1 Singles Abby Lowe went 1-2 on the day, losing to Eisenhower and Conway Springs players, and defeating South Barber. "Again all the players in singles today made the state tournament last season, so it was pretty good competition."
#2 Singles Calli Hatfield also went 1-2 in her first varsity action in singles. She lost to a very good opponent from Eisenhower, then beat South Barber 8-3. She then lost to Conway Springs 8-3. "Calli had about 8 deuce points in that last match and they didn't go her way, but she played hard and with more experience will be ok."
