It was a mixed bag for the Crusaders Saturday evening at Sellers Park. First game of the season can be that way. There were moments of good execution but also moments of inability to capitalize and/or misfortune of one sort or another. The Spartans, now 2-0, scored in every quarter, sustaining momentum and securing the 35-13 win. They've scored in every quarter so far this season I believe, with a similar win over Mulvane Week 1.
This coming Thursday, August 26th, the annual Football/Volleyball scrimmages are on slate at WHS and Sellers Park!

The now (3-5) IRONDUKES pulled in their 2nd win in as many weeks, downing the Mulvane Wildcats Friday evening at Sellers Park, 20-13! It was a close contest, knotted at 7 at halftime. The Crusaders were able to put points on the board and the defense kept the Wildcats out of the endzone the last 13+ minutes of the game. Strong showing by QB Berkeley Wright who passed for 177 yds, including a 57 yarder to Cope Henry. Dustyn Schettler shined, 218 yds of offense from this young man, including a 64 yd romp to paydirt!
A new DUCHESS was crowned Friday evening at the Rose Hill vs WHS football game, a tradition that began over 75 yrs ago. A lovely group of young ladies, all of which have represented their school and community so well!
Congratulations to Jessica Walker - the 2020-2021 DUCHESS!
A new twist this year on the DUCHESS PEP ASSEMBLY. Instead of taking place at WHS in the gymnasium. it was moved outdoors to the football field!

Thursday was TEAM PICS and INDIVIDUAL PICS DAY for the CRUSADER FOOTBALL TEAM! Practice was held prior to the TEAM PICS so was able to get a variety of pics to share with you here on this page. After a regular practice, the IRONDUKES scrimmaged each other for a while, then switched into their game jerseys for their annual team and individual pics. Following that, a few cameos as well were taken of the 12 seniors on this year's squad. Below are the links to ALL OF THOSE!

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.
After savoring their season opening win all week against Clearwater, the IRONDUKES had to put those memories aside and take care of business against the visiting (0-1) El Dorado Wildcats at Sellers Park on Friday evening. The task at hand wouldn't seem as easy as Week #1 but it was doable and the IRONDUKES did it.
The WMS 7th & 8th Grade Football Knights took care of business Thursday evening down at Sellers Park. Their visiting counterparts from Haysville had no idea of the buzz saws they were about to encounter. Behind the cool, calm and collected hands of QB Cope Henry, the 7th grade KNIGHTS marched up and down the field with relative ease. Mekhi Haskin-Ybarra and Jakob Lira lit it up with numerous gainers behind a strong line and an obvious strong defense in the 42-00 win over the Haysville 7th graders.
