    For the second straight week, the Helias Crusaders wanted to use their run game to control the ball against the potent offense of their opponent. For the second straight week, it worked.

    A game between the top-ranked team in Class 1 and the No. 2 team in Class 3 went the way you would expect. Close, with an extra inning tossed in for good measure.

    The Helias Crusaders didn’t know exactly what to expect entering the season. With just eight of the 22 starting spots filled by returners, the Crusaders didn’t have a lot of experience to fall back. And with road games at Hannibal and Hickman to start the season, Helias was going to find out a lot about itself in the opening two weeks. But double-digit wins have eased those concerns, even if things weren’t always perfect. “We still have things to work on, that’s for sure,” Helias coach Chris Hen
