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.”

Weston Keleher has learned a few things during his time as Helias’ wrestling coach. When he first got to Helias, he said everything was about winning. Now … “It’s about getting better, just improve from what we were a week ago,” Keleher said as the Crusaders prepared to host Hannibal and Warrenton in a tri-dual today at Rackers Fieldhouse. “The goal is to win a state title and you don’t do that in November or December."
Only two matches went the distance as the Helias Crusaders beat the Capital City Cavaliers 53-24 in a Central Missouri Activities Conference dual Tuesday. “Some of those closer matches will really come in clutch,” Helias coach Weston Keleher said. “We were able to come out on top in a couple and we may be able to steal a district seed that way.”
The Jefferson City Jays took a chance. It paid off win a winning way. “We had a plan and the kids executed the plan,” Jays coach Nathan Redcay said Wednesday night after Jefferson City defeated the Helias Crusaders 42-21 in a Central Missouri Activities Conference dual at Fleming Fieldhouse. “They really wanted this win and it showed.”
