The Lady Crusader Basketball Team took care of business Tuesday evening vs the 3rd ranked Circle HS Lady Thunderbirds. The girls in red jumped out early on the visitors, leading 14-8 after 1. The Lady Thunderbirds battled back and by halftime, the score was nearly knotted, CHS 24 WHS 26.

Like the beginning of the 1st half, Wellington came out strong and lead by "6" again after 3. And like the the 2nd qtr., the Lady Thunderbirds battled back but came up 2 pts shy of their 9th victory. (They are now 8-2). Lady Crusader (Freshman) Ali Zeka cooly drained 2 FT's with less than 20 secs. to go to take the 2 pt. lead. Moments later, a last second defensive stop by Zeka, sealed the deal and moved their season record to 7-3! When you have "4" players score in double digits, great things like this are likely to result. 

Awesome job Ladies!!! Awesome job Coaches!!!

The Lady Crusaders have no court action slated until Thursday, January 24th, at McPherson for their "Mid-Season" tournament! Hang on to your "MO" ladies - it's going to be exciting!
