In Week 6, it was Helias 43, Capital City 17. In Week 12, that result means nothing as top-seeded Helias (9-1) prepares to take on third-seeded Capital City (8-3) in the Class 5 District 5 championship game tonight at Ray Hentges Stadium. “We’re expecting a really tight ballgame,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said.
You don’t get style points. The Helias Crusaders did the most important thing this time of the year Friday night: win the game. “Overall, it’s a win, you move the next line in the playoffs,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said after a 38-28 victory against the Washington Blue Jays in the Class 5 District 5 semifinals at Ray Hentges Stadium. “We have to play better next week or we won’t be advancing out of districts, that’s the bottom line.”
On Monday, it was time to go back to work. After a bye week to start the postseason, the Helias Crusaders will start Class 5 District 5 play tonight when they host the Washington Blue Jays at Ray Hentges Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
It’s a big game in deciding the Central Missouri Activities Conference champion. It definitely is for the city championship and the trophy that comes along with that. And it’s Jefferson City. “All focus and all eyes are on the biggest game of the year,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said as the Crusaders prepare to take on the Jefferson City Jays in a CMAC contest tonight at Ray Hentges Stadium.
