St. Dominic will face Helias in the second round of the District playoffs.
Ten weeks of the season have gone by, and now the field has been narrowed. Week 10 eliminated half the teams from State title contention. Now Round 2 of the District playoffs continue. Let's get to the matchups. The second round of the Class 4, District 6 tournament features a game featuring the Crusaders against the Crusaders.

A Fort Zumwalt West sophomore gathered a group of friends and created paper cranes to bring peace to the victims of last Friday's shooting at the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Fort Zumwalt West sophomore Nate Williams loves going to the movie theater. Like many avid movie-goers, Nate and his friends went to a midnight showing of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Night Rises," on the opening day last week. When Nate left the movie, he was scrolling through his phone when he saw the news, that a man wearing a gas mask entered an Aurora, Colorado theater, hurled a gas canister and began shooting. “I always go to the movie theater. It’s like a second home and it hit me really hard because the movies are like an escape,” he said. Nate continued following the story the next day, and when he heard 58 people were injured and 12 were killed, he said he felt compelled to do something for the victims and their families. “…
