The Wellington basketball teams squared off against the Circle Thunderbirds on homecoming night February 3.  This was the second meeting between the boys varsity team and Circle.  They earlier played in the Championship of the Roadrunner Classic, in which the Thunderbirds eked out a 1-point win over the Crusaders in the final seconds after trailing the entire game.  The girls varsity team last played Circle in the Sub-state Championship last season.
