The Helias Crusaders were looking forward to a tough dual. But a handful of forfeits took away any drama. “The dual was really over before it even started,” Helias coach Weston Keleher said after the Crusaders opened Central Missouri Activities Conference action Tuesday night with a 50-24 victory against the Hickman Kewpies at Rackers Fieldhouse.
It’s only five games into the season, but the Helias Crusaders have been in plenty of crunch-time situations already. They can add Saturday night to that list. “We made some big plays,” Helias coach Joe Rothweiler said after a 64-62 win against the Troy-Buchanan Trojans in the Tri-Lakes Shootout at Blair Oaks High School.
Ted LePage was given nine months notice of his induction into the Missouri Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, but he didn’t begin writing his speech until last Tuesday. He was a little busy leading the Blair Oaks Falcons to a Class 2 state championship.
As the host, the Helias Crusaders knew what they had to do. When a team dropped out of the Missouri Duals late in the week, the Crusaders knew they had to be the one to adjust their schedule.
