The Helias Cruasders have a list of goals to achieve each season. With last week’s 24-6 win against Jefferson City to claim its fourth consecutive city championship, Helias can mark off the first one. But there’s still more on that list.
Coming off their lowest offensive output of the season, the Jefferson City Jays are ready to get back out on the field. The Jays have flushed their 24-6 loss to the Helias Crusaders and have their full attention centered on tonight’s matchup with the Battle Spartans.
The Helias Crusaders were a bit uncharacteristic in their play Monday night. It paid off with a victory. “We haven’t attacked the goal this season, but both of those goals came because we attacked the goal,” Helias coach Jon DeSha said after the Crusaders defeated the Jefferson City Jays 2-1 in Central Missouri Activities Conference soccer action at Jefferson City High School. “They were good goals.”
The Jefferson City Jays enter tonight’s matchup on a three-game winning streak, but their biggest challenge of the season awaits. The Jays will travel down Stadium Boulevard tonight to take on the Helias Crusaders, looking for their first win in the series in just the fourth game between the two sides despite the long histories of the programs.
The Capital City Cavaliers are looking for a bounce back. The Cavaliers have dropped two consecutive games for the first times since the 2021 season and will look to get back in the win column when they go up Stadium Boulevard once again, this time to play the Helias Crusaders in a CMAC matchup at 7 p.m. today.
