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.
Helias coach Chris Wyrick picked up win No. 400 in his coaching career with a thrilling 4-3 win against crosstown rival Jefferson City to claim the Jays Baseball Classic title Saturday at Vivion Field.
It may have just been the bottom of the first inning, but the Helias Crusaders were in a bit of a situation. The Carthage Tigers scored five runs in the top of the first to knock the Crusaders into an early hole Tuesday at the American Legion Post 5 Sports Complex.
