A great weekend for WHS BASKETBALL!! The Lady Crusaders in a very exciting fashion, hauled in the 3rd place trophy at this year's STATE 4A DIV 1 GIRLS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT in Salina! As you all know by now - a last second BUZZER BEATER by Lauryn Snipes after a fabulous block and steal by Shayland French, resulted in a 25+ foot 3 pointer that created Pandomonium for Crusader Fans everywhere as it dropped through the net AT THE BUZZER and secured the win vs Labette County, 65-62! A big woo-hoo for that, a really big woo-hoo!! :)

The Crusaders played with as much heart as anyone could ever muster - their performance at Sub-State was awe-inspiring...won't forget this bunch...ever! GOOD JOB CRUSADERS and LADY CRUSADERS - you're fans eagerly await 2016-2017!
