Sikeston football's undefeated season comes to a crashing halt

Excerpts:

Sikeston, making their first semifinal appearance in school history, fell behind early to the Crusaders. On Helias' first offensive play, running back Brad Wilson took an option pitch and raced 67 yards to the end zone, giving the Crusaders an early lead.

The Bulldogs looked as if they were right back in the game when Trey Lewis intercepted a Clint Distler pass with 1:30 remaining in the first half, however, momentum changed quickly as Helias recovered a Sikeston fumble on the following play. The Crusaders took advantage as Distler hit Wilson for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 29 seconds remaining in the first half, giving Helias a 23-8 lead at halftime.

Consistent Crusaders on way to Class 4 championship game

Excerpts:

The Helias Crusaders followed a familiar formula Saturday afternoon - big plays on offense, stifling plays on defense.

“It was a complete effort by everyone,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said. “The guys who were asked to step up, stepped up.”

“Kearney is obviously a very talented football team, but when you get to this point, you can expect to play a very talented football team,” Hentges said.
