Crusader Football Ends For 2019
An early turnover by Wellington, lead to "6" for Buhler with only 39 secs. off the clock. Not the start you would want, but WHS buckled down, the defense played tough. So tough, 22:43 ticked off the clock before Buhler could find paydirt again. The Crusaders took the lead late in the 2nd qtr after Senior Zane Cornejo scrambled for 84 yds, leading to a 1 yd TD run by QB Zander Vargas and a "good" PAT by Karsten Gill. Gill went 10/11 on the season in PAT's - kudos to #40. Buhler would soon retake the lead and not relinquish.
Volleyball and Football Scrimmages Draw Nice Crowds!
Starting to feel like FALL - not exactly, just yet outside, but just days to go until Varsity Sports kick in for the next 9 months. Thursday evening, the annual Volleyball Gatorade Scrimmage took place at WHS. Nice crowd on hand, some volleyball alums as well! GO LADY CRUSADERS!

Offense Struggles, Indians 38 Crusaders 00
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.
WMS 7/8 Football Split vs Ark City @ Sellers
The 7th & 8th grade Football Knights hosted Ark City Thursday at Sellers Park...ended up being a split // the 7th graders struggled against the Bulldogs coming up short 00-36.
In the nightcap, the battle was on and the 8th graders were tied at 20 a piece at halftime. Wellington 8th grade Knights were able to pull away in the 2nd half (against a larger Ark City squad) and the final score was WMS 8th Graders 48 Ark City 34.
IRONDUKES MOVE TO 1-0 ON THE SEASON!
You could feel this victory coming on...days ago, maybe weeks ago. This group of young men and coaches are in the groove. W's are the nectar of life - sure tastes good!! Congratulations for the 34-6 season opening win over the Clearwater Indians.
The atmosphere was festive and a bit wet early on but that soon passed. An Eagle-Med Helicopter delivered the GAME BALL to the field and then the teams engaged.

Hamburger Scrimmage Draws Large Crowd!
The annual Crusader Club Hamburger Football Scrimmage was held Thursday evening down at Sellers Park. Football players from1st grade through 12th took their turns during the scrimmage to show off their football skills in front of the large crowd of parents, fans and friends. It was a beautiful evening weather-wise and the hamburgers were quite tasty! By evenings' end, dozens of young Wellington Football players, for just one night, were all on the field together...imagine a memory or two for years to come were generated by many.
