Once again, the Capital City Cavaliers are set to play the biggest game in program history. The Cavaliers are set to face a rematch against the Helias Crusaders in Capital City’s first district championship game in the four-year history of the program. “We’re trending toward the right direction,” Capital City coach Joe Collier said. “The things that we’re doing in the offseason, in the season, the corrections and tweaks we’re trying to make during games during the season, this is the path we should be on.”
The 2022 season was filled with many firsts for Capital City. But a couple still eluded the Cavaliers. Tonight, the No. 3 seed Cavaliers have a chance to right the missing piece from their first successful season as they look for Capital City’s first district win as it hosts No. 6 seed Battle Spartans in the first round of the Class 5 District 5 tournament.
The Capital City Cavaliers were ready to get back to winning. And they set the tone fast. On the first play from scrimmage, Capital City recovered a fumble on defense, then needed only one play for the first of seven touchdowns on the way to a 48-21 Central Missouri Activities Conference win Friday night against the Sedalia Smith-Cotton Tigers at Capital City High School.
