by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — It could get ugly very quickly tomorrow if you wear Crusader red.

Since Wellington pulled off the season opening upset in 2011, Andale has outscored Wellington 234-51 in the four years since. Going into the Andale game from 2012-2015, Wellington was sporting records of 1-4, 4-1, 4-0, and 3-1. After the Andale game, the Wellington teams could muster just one win per season since.

Yes, the Indians have had a habit of ruining everything for our Crusaders.

This year Wellington is young and have had a tough three weeks including a heart-breaking loss to Rose Hill. The No. 2 ranked Andale team will not be any form of tonic for Wellington’s wounds.

Hard to pick your poison with the Indians. They simply take it to you – always have in the past 10 years.

In the three games so far this season, the Indians have accumulated 1,572 yards with 1,324 yards on the ground. Tristan Dagenais has accumulated 559 yards already this season. Taylor Richter has 335 yards. Twelve runners have touched the ball sporting Andale black.

Then the Indians have passed for 248 yards.

In last Friday’s games, Andale outscored Mulvane 62-51 and scored every time it had the ball. It had 564 yards in total offense. Mulvane is pretty good this year.

It might not be a stretch to say that Wellington’s football team may have never been as big of underdog going into this game, than they are this week.
