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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
