Down 13-7 after 3 qtrs, the "WELLINGTON" Crusaders lit it up in the 4th. "3" 1 yd rushing TD's by Sr. QB Berk Wright, complimented with 2 PAT's by brother Jack. Dustyn Schettler racked up 167 yds on 28 carries. The "O" and "D" Lines did their jobs as well. The "D" held Buhler scoreless from the 2:19 mark in the 2nd qtr. on. Berk also connected with Montel Tate in the 2nd qtr for a 23 yd score, PAT good. Cope Henry and Mekhi Haskin-Ybarra, 3 Interceptions/Fumble Recoveries between them.
Mid-season tournaments are over and all the squads are back together again...well, almost. The WHS Girls program whose numbers were down a bit this year, resulting in no "C" Team, those numbers were down even more Tuesday when about 1/3 of the squad was home ill. Consequently, on the girls side, only the Varsity game was played.

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.
The Varsity Lady Softball squad road-tripped to Buhler on Monday - a long round trip made much better with 2 big wins behind excellent hitting & pitching in both contests. Congrats to Coach Buck and the ladies - great road show!!

It was Crusaders vs Crusaders and it went down to the wire...the Wellington Crusaders emerged as Regional 4A Champions Friday evening at Sellers Park, playing host to the Buhler Crusaders, final score Buhler 7 Wellington 14. Our Irondukes move on, Buhler is done for the season.
Great baseball action at Hibbs-Hooten Monday with the visiting "Crusaders" in town from Buhler. Weather? PERFECT! Low 70's, sunshine, light breeze, PERFECT!
Almost a SWEEP for the Wellington Lady Crusaders, but the Buhler JV Lady Crusaders squeaked out a 6 pt victory over our younger squad, the Varsity Lady Crusaders won with authority though - results, stats and scoring below:
The CRUSADERS hosted the Crusaders (Buhler) Tuesday afternoon and evening out at WHS. The northern Crusaders with quickness, hot shooting and precision passing, not to mention a Paul Bunyan sized center on their Varsity Squad, proved to be too much, the local red team dropped all "3" boys games to the visitors - here are the outcomes and individual scoring:
C-TEAM BOYS
The WHS boys let the game get away from them after battling hard early on. Final score was Buhler C-Team Boys 51, WHS 32.
