For the second consecutive year, all six Crusaders competing in the Kansas State High School Activities Association Regional Tennis Tournament have advanced to play at State, May 13th in Winfield. No.

The Wellington Crusaders took a huge step in the rebuilding process at Andale on Thursday. In fact, it was the biggest step they’ve taken all year.

The Wellington High School Baseball Team hosted the 4th annual Wheat Capital Classic (WCC) Youth Baseball Tournament April 30 – May 1 at Hibbs-Hooten Baseball Field, 517 E. Harvey Avenue. This year, 28 teams from across the state came to Wellington to compete.

The votes are in. Over the coming days and weeks, the NBA will announce the various award-winners for this regular season. And while nobody knows with absolute certainty where any of the trophies are going yet, what is known is that the MVP is going to be an international player. Again. Prepare for history, because it’s coming. The consensus seems to be that this season’s MVP will be either Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Jokic is from Serbia. Embiid from Cameroon. Antetokounmpo from Greece, with ties to Nigeria. When the winner is revealed, it’ll be the fourth consecutive season in which the MVP won’t have been born in the U.S. — something that has never happened.
