The extra points added up to a victory. The Helias Crusaders scored bonus points in seven of their wins Wednesday night on their way to a 41-27 victory against the Jefferson City Jays in Central Missouri Activities Conference wrestling action at Rackers Fieldhouse.
Two duals, but just 12 total matches. The Helias Crusaders tried to make the best of a short night Thursday at Rackers Fieldhouse. “Two conference duals out of the way, but you just wish you could get more matches against bigger schools like this,” Helias coach Weston Keleher said after the Crusaders posted big victories against the Battle Spartans and Rock Bridge Bruins in Central Missouri Activities Conference action.
The Helias Crusaders couldn’t carry over the momentum. Neosho has been the king of the Missouri Duals in recent years and Helias thought it had a chance to knock off the Wildcats in pool action Friday night at Rackers Fieldhouse. The Crusaders nearly pulled it off before falling 38-36 to the Wildcats. That loss may have carried over into the Crusaders’ final dual of the night, where Helias lost 41-34 to North Point to finish with a 1-2 record on the opening night of the Duals.
The Helias Crusaders have wrestled three duals this season. They’ve had just two matches in those duals go to decisions. “We’re young right now, it’s part of the growing process,” Helias coach Weston Keleher said Tuesday night after the Crusaders defeated the School of the Osage Indians 48-33 in a dual at Rackers Fieldhouse. “It’s not what we want.”
