The Daily Wichita team
Kapaun Mt. Carmel is 11-0 and headed downtown. The Crusaders beat Hays 24-23 at Wichita Heights on Friday night, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 1:46 left. Next is Bishop Carroll, which wants revenge for its only loss, and the game moved to Equity Bank Park, the Wind Surge's home. The Wichita Eagle calls it arguably the biggest football game in the rivalry's history.
